My Local Canon Rep gave me these TWO workarounds... I have not yet tried them, but wanted to share them to DOCUMENT to ADOBE the ridiculousness and lengths we have to go through to get a Second Gen R6 to work with Lightroom.... even though Gen one R6 works fine without ANY MODIFICATIONS or WORKAROUNDS... Please ADOBE, Fix This!
Workaround #1 (Using EOS Utility 3 and Lightroom)
Make sure to Quit out of Lightroom Classic completely, and connect camera to EOS Utility 3
In EOS Utility 3 Remote Shooting option, go to Preferences
-> Linked Software
-> Register
-> Browse
-> Find Lightroom Classic Application
-> Open
-> check mark all image file types across the bottom
-> Click OK
-> Link Software to Adobe Lightroom Classic in dropdown
-> click ok
-> Reopen Lightroom Classic
When you take a picture now, keeping both EOS utility and Lightroom opened, pictures should auto populate and pull up in the download area of Lightroom, you are able to them click on and view them, once you take another picture it will bring you back to that same download window where they will continue to populate. It looks like once you follow these steps, it will save all of the preferences after closing out all of the programs and open them up again.
Workaround #2 (Only using EOS Utility 3)
If you just want to pull up images for client to see them larger without using Lightroom (minimize Lightroom because it will continue to pull it up if it is not minimized while still being used as a linked software), go to the EOS Utility Remote Shooting -> Other Functions (near bottom of the window) -> quick preview
Now photos will automatically pull up in preview after you take them.
I am passionate about capturing authentic, real, and Incredible moments, that happen in an instant, which are treasured forever. Life moves quickly, people always seem to be busy, yet a moment captured halts all and the emotions and feelings, even the laughter happens all over, Life is about the memories with great smiles.
