Bug Reports

When Sync with LR Cloud downloads and imports photos from the cloud, it creates a pseudo-volume and psuedo-folder in the Folders panel representing the contents of the "Mobile Downloads.lrdata" folder containing the imported photos (e.g John's MacBook Pro > Imported Photos).  When a plugin tries to access the pseudo-folder, the methods catalog:getFolders() and catalog:getActiveSources() return invalid LrFolder objects.   To reproduce on LR 14.3.1 / Mac OS 15.5:   1. Download and unzip this catalog: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/plzlyaxuw7os6coeb0d7n/folder-bug.2025-6-04.zip?rlkey=d1hpg6i4wwz25x4unpv01lvt0&dl=0    2. Copy the file "folder-bug.lua" from the catalog folder to the LR Scripts folder and start LR.   3. In the Folders panel, select the Imported Photos pseudo-folder under the pseudo-volume John's Macbook Pro:   4. Do the menu command Scripts > folder-bug. Observe the following incorrect output:   The LrFolders representing w

    Say your keyword heirarchy is like this:A > B > C D > B > E D > B > F   One of the keywords that appears in the "Keyword Suggestions" box will be "E < B". This suggestion is obviously referring to E < B < D (which is D > B > E). The expected result when clicking this suggestion is that it adds the "E < B < D" keyword to the photo. However, when you click the "E < B" suggestion, it creates a new E < B < A tag (which is A > B > E).     This issue also happens with the autocomplete in the textbox of the "Keyword Tags" box.     System Info: Lightroom Classic version: 14.3.1 [ 202505061331-b063faef ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: en-USOperating system: Mac OS 15Version: 15.4.1 [24E263]Application architecture: arm64Logical processor count: 8Processor speed: NASqLite Version: 3.36.0Power Source: Battery, 99%Built-in memory: 16,384.0 MBDedicated GPU memory used by Lightroom: 1,213.4MB / 10,9

I use Lightroom for culling through wedding photos, and as of yesterday's update, any time I increase or decrease the rating of an image (or apply any other kind of edit) it will add 4 hours to the capture time, therefore sending that photo to a random place later in the collection, only for me to find it again as I'm moving through. In fact, it just happened twice, as I edited a photo that had already been changed, and it added 4 more. What in the world??? This could prove to be exceptionally annoying.   Photos are syncing.   LR version 14.1 MacOS 14.7.1 M1 Max

The Help windows displaying keyboard shortcuts still have many errors. While a large number were fixed in LR 12.1, many were not, and some new errors were introduced.   The Any Shortcut plugin's Analyze > Analyze All TranslatedStrings Files generates the file "errors.txt" (attached) containing all these errors. It should be run before every new LR release. The plugin's option Correct Help Keys In TranslatedStrings Files will automatically fix all of the errors.   I've summarized the errors below, with explanations for what's gone wrong and how to fix them.   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The help keys for shortcuts containing Delete (Mac) / Backspace (Win) need to be specially encoded -- they should refer to Delete or the localized version of Delete (if there is one).  LR will automatically translate that to Backspace (or the localized version of Backspace) on Win.   Many instances of help keys incorrectly conta

File > Export doesn't remember the previous setting of Resize To Fit when Image Format is DNG.   To reproduce on LR 14.3.1 / Mac OS 15.5:   1. Select any photo.   2. Do File > Export, with the the File Settings options Image Format: DNG and Use Lossy Compression, and the Image Sizing option Resize To Fit: Long Edge, 3000 pixels:     3. Do File > Export again, and observe that Resize To Fit is unchecked.

Dialog windows created by LrDialogs.presentModalDialog() don't always close fully on exit.   To reproduce on LR 14.2 / Mac OS 15.3.2 / Macbook Pro 16" 2023 Apple M2 Max:   1.

Click OK and observe the dialog close properly.   4. Do File > Plug-in Extras > _Dialog Bug > Bug again and observe the same dialog.   5. Click OK and observe that the dialog hasn't completely closed:   6. The dialog remains until you restart LR.   * * *   This bug persists after resetting preferences and opening a new catalog. I first noticed it with my Debugging Toolkit,  where it's a serious annoyance. Nine others have reported similar symptoms with creating snapshots starting with

macOS 15.2 Lr Classic: 14.1.1   Steps: 1. In Develop mode, create a new snapshot for a photo 2. Enter a name for the snapshot in the New Shapshot window and click Create Results: The New Snapshot window persists as an empty window until the app is canceled.

After updating Lightroom Classic to v14 and converted my database, all the edited photos that had a "Subject Mask" applied now have an empty mask with a warning and exclamation mark (!). If I let Lightroom correct the mask pushing the exclamation mark on a single photo, it seems the correct subject is selected, keeping the edits. If I do the same with multiple photos together it appears teh usual form that tells that the AI masks are recalculated, but at the end all the masks are still empty with warnings.

Lightroom Classic CC, latest version, freezes when I use "Synchronize folder" and have the "show import dialog before continuing" option selected. (Not only does it freeze but it ends up using a ton of CPU, more than 200% per Activity Monitor, and the fans start going like crazy.)Lightroom synchronizes the folder just fine when I DON'T have that option selected, but I need to be able to use that option. The problem occurs whether or not the "scan for metadata updates" option is selected.I'm on a Macbook Pro, latest version of Mojave. In Lightroom, the issue occurs for me in the latest version of Lightroom Classic CC. Per a different forum post in which someone solved their problem by downgrading to v 7.5, I tried that but the problem remains.I did NOT have the problem in Lightroom 6 (from 2015), which was what I was using until just recently when I got a new computer and needed to upgrade my OS. I'm still trying to get back up and running with Lightroom on the rebuilt system, and this

use case: I want to browse a set of photos and incrementally add some keyword, this involves going back and removing the same keyword. Background: I am using Lightroom 14.3.1 (latest) on Windows (Windows 10 version 22H2 Build 19045.5737). Lightroom language is english. Feature in question: For quickly setting keywords, there is the "keyword shortcut" feature, which exists since at least Lightroom 6 and speeds up work a lot.I am aware that you must first press Ctr+Alt+Shift+K to set the "keyword shortcut", then you can press Shift+K on an in dividual picture to add/remove it.I am in Library module, Loupe view when I use this feature. expected behaviour: when pressing Shift+K, keyword is added/removed and a small popup is displayed. Popup similar to pressing "P" or "U", giving "Flag as Pick" or "Remove Flag". actual behaviour: the shortcut keyword is added or removed but I see that only if I have the "keywording" panel open. There is no popup.If I do not have the "keywording" panel open,

Hi,I’m experiencing a recent issue with the Crop tool in Lightroom Classic. When I try to crop an image after applying a rotation correction (either automatic or manual), the crop frame won’t let me move it fully to the edges of the image. It’s as if there’s an invisible boundary about one centimeter from the top or side edges, preventing me from placing the crop where I want. This didn’t happen earlier today and started occurring with the last two photos I’ve edited. I’ve tried: Toggling “Constrain to Image” on and off Using different aspect ratios (including “Original” and “Custom”) Removing the rotation, cropping first, and then reapplying the rotation Restarting Lightroom In all cases, the issue returns as soon as I apply any rotation, even a minor one. I’m attaching a screenshot that clearly shows how the crop frame cannot be moved freely even though the image has visible content. Is there a setting or recent behavior that could be causing this?I’d appreciate any guidanc

After updating LR Classic to version 14.3, the "update" button in the Transform panel stopped working after using the settings from the previous photo. Transform remains wrong even after selecting a different option (vertical instead of auto, etc.) and the Update button remains white. MacOS 15.4.1, LRC 14.3

When cropping an HDR Panorama using two displays, the full image is not shown correctly in my secondary display. My primary display will show the full panorama, but when I try to crop it the secondary display erratically shows white space where there should be imagery. If I make crops, the secondary display will update (slowly), but continue to show white space. This white space seems to mimic the boundary of the original panorama.   I recently upgraded from a 2019 iMac to a 2023 M2 Max Studio with 96gb ram. The problem used to occur on my iMac and I was hoping that the new powerful machine would make a difference. It didn't. I'm using MacOS Ventura 13.5 and LR 12.5. But this issue also occured on my 2019 iMac, using different OS and different LR Classic versions.    I have two external monitors. The one I'm using with LR is a 4k display. The other monitor I use is an old Apple Thunderboldt display (2560 x 1440). I tried using that as my LR secondary display, but the iss

On Windows, when you paste multi-line text into an osFactory:edit_field with height_in_lines = 1, all but the first line is discarded. But this doesn't happen when you paste more than two lines into an edit field with height_in_lines = 2 -- all the lines are preserved.  Nor does the bad behavior occur on Mac.  The Windows behavior of height_in_lines = 1 is inconsistent with height_in_lines = 2 and with Mac height_in_lines = 1.   This bug affects my Any Filter plugin's user interface -- it's important for users to be able to paste in multiple lines of text into an edit_field that for UI design purposes should otherwise be one line high:   The script below illustrates the problem.  I've attached screen recordings of running it on Windows and Mac.       local LrBinding = import "LrBinding" local LrDialogs = import "LrDialogs" local LrFunctionContext = import "LrFunctionContext" local LrView = import "LrView" local bind = LrView.bind local f = LrVi

Converting .DNG to .DNG files creates new files with lowercase ".dng" extension instead of ".DNG" extension, even if file extension in modal is set to "DNG".     Reproduced by trying to convert photos that were already in DNG format, e.g. from Leica Q2 or Leica M11. This previously worked fine in past versions of Lightroom Classic. This is also a problem because the new files get different createdAt and modifiedAt timestamps in apple finder, which is undesirable.   Operating System: Mac OS 15.3.1 Lightroom Classic version:           

Canceling an export to JXL can sometimes crash Lightroom. To reproduce in LR 14.1.1 / Mac OS 15.2:   1. Download and open this catalog: https://www.dropbox.com/s/64jcxpwzpmyrmlp/cancel-export-bug.2025-01-24.zip?dl=0    2. Import the Export preset "To Catalog as JXL.lrtemplate" stored in the catalog folder.   3. Arrange Finder to show next to LR the subfolder cancel-export-bug/Desktolp/test-pics/jxl.   3. Select the two photos.   4. Right-click the first photo and do Export > To Catalog As JXL.   5. Wait until the first exported .jxl appears in the folder and immediately click the Export cancel button before the second .jxl appears.  LR will often crash.   6. If it doesn't crash, delete the one or two .jxls from the folder and repeat steps 4-6.   I've submitted several crash reports under my Adobe Id.  See the attached screen recording showing the recipe.

Trimmed Duration in the Video tagset of the Metadata panel is blank until you delete <catalog>Helper.lrdata and restart LR (i.e. another caching bug). To reproduce on LR 14.1.1 / Mac OS 14.6.1:   1. Make a new catalog.   2. Import the attached video.   3. In Loupe, trim the video to one second long.   4. In the Metadata panel's Video tagset, observe that Trimmed Duration is blank:   5. Restart LR and observe Trimmed Duration is still blank.   6. Exit LR and in the catalog folder, delete <catalog>Helper.lrdata.   7. Restart LR and observe that Trimmed Duration now correctly shows the duration:  

The Update AI Settings command doesn't alway work correctly when the application of the Adaptive Color profile needs updating ("the red dot").  This affects those who need to delete corrupt .lrcat-data files (which still happens occasionally).     To reproduce on LR 14.2 / Mac OS:   1. Download and open this catalog, which has one raw in it: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/r9blhcvehwwi7vw9hyg3t/update-adaptive-bug.2025.02.14.zip?rlkey=y7vm86wc0fivb00o487iy6y7t&dl=0    2. Open the photo in Develop, set Profile to Adaptive Color, and observe the photo is much better exposed:   3. Exit LR and delete <catalog>.lrcat-data from the catalog folder.   4. Restart LR. Observer there is a red dot next to Basic, the Update button appears, and the effective of the profile is no longer visible (as expected):   5. Click the Update button, see the "Analyzing" bezel briefly appear, but observe there is no change to the photo, the Update butt

In LR 14.2, the help window shows the wrong shortcut for Cycle Overlay Mode in Polish:   It should be H.      W (H, h): 266 Develop Module > Remove > Cycle Overlay ($$$/AgDevelop/Dust/CycleOverlay/Shortcut, $$$/AgDevelop/Menu/View/ToolOverlay/NeverShow/Key)    

When I try to view the backup settings in the catalog settings, the backup detail window with the list of existing backups does not work properly. It is not resized correctly, and if I widen the column to view, for example, the path or full name of the file, the columns go haywire and disappear. They are not limited in their movements. The attached video explains it better. The same thing happens when checking the list of files undergoing download or upload during synchronization in the iCloud sync info. I have already tried reinstalling Lightroom Classic, even deleting preferences and with a new catalog, but the interface problem persists. I don’t know how to solve it anymore.

I have never used snapshots before but with the recent inclusion of the Adaptive Color profile are started adding one to gauge the differences against other profiles. The process I followed is make the required changes to a photo and click the + in the Snapshots dropdown. But when I click the snapshot listed under the dropdown, even before making any other changes to the photo, the photo updates with increased exsposure and looks washed out. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?  

I just upgraded to 14.2 and am already regretting it, just found a new major bug. On M1 MacbookPro, when using the crop tool, it works as expected with both GPU disabled, and when NOT in Soft Proofing mode. As soon as you enter Soft Proofing and use the crop tool, it does not update live like it used to, you have to re-crop by basically cropping "blind" as the display does not update until you let go of the mouse, making it 100% unusable. I was about to downgrade my catalog and lose a bunch of work, but thankfully I realized that it is only broken in Soft Proofing mode now, so at least I can crop when it's off, in 13.x this used to not be this way, crop would work normally in any mode! Please fix this bug in the next update, I really, really hate it when things that used to work just break for no reason!   Ok now I just tried to do some masking in Soft Proofing mode, totally broken there too, moving sliders result on 30+ second beach balls to update on screen. Total Fail Adob

Lightroom Classic version 14.4.1; macOS 15.2.   Open a catalog with images that have a shutter speed of 0.3 sec or longer; alternatively import such an image.     From Library Module activate the the Library Filter, click Metadata and change one of the columns to show the Shutter Speed.  Select a value that's 0.3 or more.  (I think any value that is not formatted as a fraction will show the bug.)   The matching images are displayed. Click one of them. In the Metadata panel the Shutter Speed value is blank, rather than showing the value from the Library Filter.

In Lightroom Classic 14.2, when I try to select the background color (Background Color) in the Develop module, the "Light Gray" option is incorrectly translated into Polish as "Jasnozielony" (which means "Light Green"). The correct translation should be "Jasny Szary" (Light Gray).Best regards, Paweł Słowikwww.slowik.eu
