Lightroom Classic is not certified on Mac OS 26 Tahoe. That may be the cause of the problem.

Adobe has confused everyone with the names they have given their software. There is no Lightroom CC. There is Lightroom (Lr icon) and Lightroom Classic (LrC icon), which are you using? Please tell us the version NUMBER instead of saying it is the "latest".

I also had the latest MacBook iOS updates and Lightroom Classic latest updates. It would really help if you gave us the NUMBER of your OS and the NUMBER of LrC, instead of words like "latest". Right now LrC is not officially certified for OS 26 (Tahoe), and perhaps this is why the behavior has changed. Or it may be something simple like permissions as said above.

Hello. I know - I'm a novice and it's probably a basic question. I'm trying to take a digital picture and print it into 16x20 but the image becomes super grainy. How can I improve the resolution so that I can print it and it's not so grainy? By @rachelle_5233 What software are you using? Please be specific.

Hi, thank you for the reply. 1. Write Changes Into XMP’ has been turned on, given that the catalog has been corrupted in the past, resulting in lost edits. 2. However, the main issue is the slowness in loading images when sorting through them - when going back and forth through unedited images during the selection process. Therefore, should "Write Changes Into XMP" have an impact during the sorting process, especially causing a lag of several seconds to load an image. Also, the issue is intermittent. By @aude.au It's easy enough to try turning off the write XMP option, and see if it makes a difference. We don't know your computer and this will give you an answer taking into account all of the unique characteristics of your computer.

Something on your PC is interfering with the normal LrC startup. This isn't a RAM issue or a SSD issue. One possibility is that the antivirus has been misconfigured and now is scanning your LrC catalog for viruses — most antivirus programs let you indicate which folders or files should never be scanned. Please check this, or turn off the antivirus temporarily to see if that makes a difference. Also, LrC plugins can also affect startup. Please try disabling all plugins to see if the problem improves.

The 4090 is on the latest GeForce Game Ready Driver Version 581.42. You really should install the Studio Drivers for best Lightroom Classic performance, and to see if the Game Ready driver is the cause of your LrC crashes. It seems the temperature are within normal ranges. Upon LrC crash, CPU core temperature was at 82 Deg Celcius, which is quite normal. PC crash (not LrC crash) could be caused by overheating. As far as I know, LrC crashes are not caused by overheating. So your statement is not a valid diagnosis of the LrC crash issue, and does nothing to prove if overheating is a cause of the PC crash. Similarly, performance playing games does not prove anything about performance during Lightroom Classic Import.

So I think there are two problems here, one that cuases LrC to crash and one that causes the PC to crash and/or reboot itself. Usually (but not always) different things lead to LrC crash vs PC crash. If the PC crashes during import, the most likely cause is that your PC is getting too hot and overheating. This happens becuase your cooling system (fans and vents) has failed. There are other possible causes. YOu need to examine all the fans in your computer case to make sure they are spinning properly, and you need to vaccuum out all the dust in the computer case and in the airflow vents in the case. The most likely cause of Lightroom Classic crashing but not the computer crashing is the your GPU is either very old, doesn't have enough memory, or has an old/outdate driver. Again, there are other possible causes. What is your GPU make and model, and how much memory does it have?

Does the entire computer crash when you are importing photos? Or just Lightroom Classic? By the way, there is no software named Lightroom CC, you are used software called Lightroom Classic.

The proble is that my catalog contains to much photos 49000. Number of photos is almost never the cause of problems. Perhaps it would be a problem if there is very little free space left it could be a problem. How much free space is left on each drive? Other than that, having 49000 photos is not the problem. And when the backup starts it takes a very long time This is the problem. I would first search this forum for backups taking a long time. Perhaps the solution already exists. My Idea is to move the photos of the past years to an archive catalog , and to keep in the active catalogu only the active year. This will not help, it is unnecessary, again unless you have very little free space on each drive. I Use the last version of Lightroom 14.5.1 Please, I have a request. There are two softwares by Adobe with similar names, that can cause confusion. There is Lightroom Classic and there is Lightroom. You do not use Lightroom. Please refer to your software from now on as Lightroom Classic.

My real concern is about the location of the original images. Your original images can be on any drive (internal, external or network drive) that you want them to be on. I guess my question is can I edit from either hard drive, or should I keep one for edited and the other for purely for backup. You can edit them from any hard drive. The meaning of a drive in this context (it contains backups, or it contains originals) is entirely up to you. If a drive is considered to be a "backup" drive, then in my opinion you should never never never ever use the photos on that drive, except in the unfortunate situation where some or all of your photos on the original drive become unusable. Can Lightroom cope with the original image being in more thna one location? Just like any other software program, your files can be on any drive you want them to, including having the "original" files on multiple drives. But one thing you should not do, as I said, is work with files on the "backup" drive, as I said, leave these unused and untouched except for the case where the originals become unusable. Do not put "originals" and "backups" on the same drive.

Expand the Destination panel on the right and, as I said, make sure it points to a folder that actually exists.

In the import dialog box, click on Copy. Then make sure the Destination Panel* on the right is expanded and points to a folder that exists. Then click back on ADD if you want. * If the Destination panel on the right does not appear, then right-click on File Handling and from the drop-down menu that appears click on Destination.

Am I correct in that this would be the app that replaces the editing and organizing features of Lightroom 5 with its catalog method? Yes this is the app. Both softwares use the same editing and organizing features, if you can use the Lightroom 5 Library module then you can use the Lightroom Classic library module, there are very few difference. Similarly for the Develop Module. Clearly some new features in Lightroom Classic that were not present in Lightroom 5, and you will probably want to use the new features, which requires some learning, but on Day 1, you can use Lightroom Classic based upon your knowledge of Lightroom 5. By the way, Lightroom 5 used a catalog and Lightroom Classic uses a catalog. No real difference there. Can I store the photos and catalogs on a hard drive or on Dropbox? (Or do I have to use Adobe's web server.) Hard drive or SSD (internal, external or network) is the place to store the photos. Catalog cannot be on a network drive, but internal or external drives are fine. Storing photos and catalog in the cloud (or even folders that are synced to the cloud such as the Dropbox folder on your computer) is highly problematic and not recommended. Will my Lightroom 5 catalogs transfer over? Yes Note: I'll probably not transfer over everything but start new catalogs in Lightroom Classic I think this is a poor choice. There's normally no benefit to keeping these separate. And since you use the plural word "catalogs", I recommend that in most cases you want to use one catalog.

In the Lightroom Classic Library module, are there exclamation point icons (like in Figure 2 here) on the photos? Have you moved anything using your operating system or other (non-Lightroom Classic) software just before this happened? Regarding the advice that the previews were corrupt, I am skeptical. That wouldn not cause the abvsence of standard image previews, but it might cause the previews to appear corrupted or the wrong preview appears for a photo.
