Bug Reports

This issue has returned.   The catalog opened ONCE (and only once) after updating to LrC 10.2; I do this as a test everytime I update LrC.   Now, a few days later, I get the pop-up with the error text: "The catalog could not be opened due to an unexpected error."

When I bracket exposure or "motor drive" on my Pentax K-5 II, and sort the files by shutter press time, they do not show up in the right order. To see them in the right order I have to sort by filename (which breaks if I use two cameras or loop my counter past 9999).When I look at the exif data, capture time is only shown to a resolution of one second. What the software should do, when sorting by time, is if photos were taken in the same second, sort them by the index number in the filename.

I have been patientilly waiting for help with these issues in LrC Book Module, posted in the now closed Adobe Photoshop Forum. I don't understand what I am to do to get help with these ongoing issues. I was working with @8510810, and I thought that after uploading example files and promises that the engineers would look at the issue, I don't understand what I am to do now. Has Adobe given up of trying to solve long standing issues and closing past reports is a convienant way of telling their customers to go away? I hope not and I really would like Adobe engineers to know that the book module does not work very well.   Issue #1 I'm making a book in LrC 10.2 on a Mac Pro 10.15.7 (Catalina). Some of the custom pages include a photo description cell and the filename is automatically included. When I highlight the cell and press delete, all is well, it deletes. However the next time I open LrC and go to the book module to continue working, the deleted photo description cell reappe

Though there were otherwise just cosmetic changes made to the SDK version 11 "Lightroom Classic Programmers Guide", there was one serious mistake. On page 9, as part of changing occurrences of "Lightroom" to "Lightroom Classic", this sentence from previous versions was deleted:   "Lightroom 5 uses version 5.1.4 of the Lua language."   That sentence should be retained and edited to say:   "Lightroom Classic uses version 5.1.4 of the Lua Language"   It's very important to tell plugin developers which version the SDK uses because:   - The mainstream Lua release is now Lua 5.4.3 and there are significant differences between 5.1.4 (the version LR uses) and 5.4.3. - Most programmers coming to the SDK aren't familiar with Lua and will get confused when they read documentation for the wrong version.    

The LR 11 SDK API Reference for LrPhoto documents two new methods, photo:copySettings() and photo:pasteSettings().  But as documented, they don't do anything.  Update: The documentation is highly incomplete and needs to be clarified. See below. To reproduce: 1. Copy this script into the file "copypaste.lua" and save it in the Scripts subfolder of the "Lightroom" preferences folder:   local catalog = import "LrApplication".activeCatalog () local photos = catalog:getTargetPhotos () if #photos ~= 2 then import "LrDialogs".message ("Select exactly 2 photos") return end photos [1]:copySettings () photos [2]:pasteSettings () catalog:withWriteAccessDo ("copy/paste", function () photos [1]:copySettings () photos [2]:pasteSettings () end)    2. Restart LR. 3. Choose a photo and set its Exposure to +5. 4. Select that photo and another, with the first photo most selected. 5. Do the menu command Scr

Just upgraded to 11.1 and am getting unexpected error on starting up across two different catalogs(have not tested more). I downgraded to 11.01, and was able to open Lightroom Classic without a problem.  Backed up the library, rebooted my Mac (iMac 5K Retina, 2017) running 11.6.1, reinstalled 11.1 and it seemed to run ok for about 2 days.  This morning got the error report again and have downgraded to 11.01 again   Any suggestions? Thanks

Since the lightroom update, colour grading videos has been messed up for some reason. When I turn UP the temperature, the video gets cooler on the main panel, but the preview in the navigator gets warmer like I wanted. When I export, the navigator view is what gets exported, but the main panel view is just messed up. Someone please help!! Photo below:  

I'm trying to copy GPS coordinates from one photo (taken with phone) to others (taken with camera). The bug is specifically that when I try to use "Add GPS Coordinates to Selected Photos" then nothing happens and no GPS data is added to the selected photos. Background: When I highlight and drag the "unGPS'd" photos onto the map the pin goes to the wrong location. (I'm aware this is a bug that goes back a very long time.) So I tried the known work around which is to select the photos in the film strip that I want to copy the coordinates to, and then right click on the coordinates of the photo that is already on the map and use "Add GPS Coordinates to Selected Photos".  That worked for me in LR 10. I've upgraded to LR 11 & Windows 11 and this workaround no longer works. Now, nothing happens.    System info details in the attached text file.   Regards   John Godfrey

Normal screen copy for a mask: Screen copy for color range: You cannot see the figures on the right. No way to expand the tool window. Display: 2560x1440, Font: middle size When using a large font (150%) the window size is good, but unfortunately this window takes 1/4 of the screen! Too much. I don't know where to contact the support, I post this bug here.

I imported a 9138x6310 TIF file and performed numerous adjustments including several masked adjustments.   The image exports fine at reduced resolution (2048x1414) but if I try to export at full resolution Lightroom gives the error: "An unknown error occurred. (1)". If I click "Turn off Masks" the image (without masks) exports at full resolution with no error. The exports are performed with the "Export..." command.   If instead I attempt to export with masks on via Publish Services ("jf Flickr: in this instance) the following error is reported: "Couldn't render image: AgNegative:renderToFile: <AgErrorID>dng_error_unknown</AgErrorID>".   Lightroom Classic version: 11.0 [ 202110120910-0bccc70d ]Operating system: Mac OS 12.0.1 [21A559]Application architecture: x64Logical processor count: 16Built-in memory: 65,536.0 MBDisplays: 1) 4096x2560 Graphics Processor Info:    Metal: AMD Radeon Pro 5500M (full copy of system info attached)

I have a Wacom Intuos Pro. In LRC 10, I could use the back of the pen ("eraser") to temporarily switch the brush tool from A or B to Erase. This functionality seems to have broken with the update to LRC 11 when using the updated Mask tool. When I use the back of the pen now, it just adds to the brush stokes instead or erasing them.   Any advice on how to fix that?   I'm on Mac OS Catalina, LRC 11.0.

I simply highlight that the algoritm of Super Resolution doesn't work properly with Fujifilm RAF from S5pro.   The final result have wrong ratio. Both side was enlarged but with different ratio.   Here an example (screenshot from Lr but same behavior in Lrc): Original image: RAF 4256x2848  (12,12Mpx) Enlarged: DNG: 11907x3984 (47,43Mpx  ratio 3.9 compared to the original 12Mpx)

Over the years Lightroom has fixed most Windows high-DPI scaling issues with the UI, but unlike the image flag mode icons, the Compare mode Select/Candidate indicator icons still do not scale. This makes using Compare mode tricky at times as they are virtually impossible to see in the filmstrip.   I have a laptop with a 4K screen and I set Windows to either 200% or 225% scaling. Please note this is not a multi- or external-monitor issue, it's just the native display, and Lightroom is otherwise correctly responding to the system screen resolution & scaling settings, by giving me crisp high-DPI UI graphics & text but also correctly scaling bitmap UI assets like the flagged/rejected icons which render at the appropriate size.   See attached image

When the left sidebar is unpinned/collapsed but temporarily expanded, it interferes with the Display module Info view.   Repro steps: 1) Collapse the left sidebar with TAB or by clicking its left edge. 2) Switch to one of the Display module modes: press E, C or N 3) Enable one of the image Info display modes: press I 4) Hover over the sidebar's left edge so it expands   The sidebar partially covers the image area, but not the Info overlay which renders over the top of the sidebar, creating a visual mess.   Incredibly, when I had an Adobe Support operative look at this last night, they told me this is working as designed. I really hope that was a mistake.   Windows 10 Lightroom Classic 11.1   Other users on DPReview forums have confirmed they also get this issue.

Lightroom Classic 11.1 Windows 11 Pro (Build 22000.438)   I used to copy my development settings in LR Classic and apply them to multiple files in the library module. This doesn't work anymore after the latest upgrade. The options are grayed out in the edit menu. This seems to have been introduced when the shortcut keys changed from ctrl+shift+c to ctrl+c.   Steps to reproduce: Copy develop settings. Try pasting in library module.   This bug is really annoying as all develop settings have to be pasted picture by picture which means a huge timeloss.

There is a bug in the latest version of Lightroom 6.1 introduced in updates sometime after January 2017 in which the Lightroom Book Module pages in multi-page view start at page 1 on the left hand page while the actual Blurb book numbering starts at page 1 on the right hand page. In addition to this, the left hand page (Lightroom page 1 or Blurb page 0) shouldn't allow any formatting or adding of pages but now has a + plus sign that allows this to happen. I have checked this issue with Blurb and they have confirmed it is a Lightroom bug.

LR Classic 10.0 on macOS Big Sur 11.0.1 shows the original, unedited version of the photo when using the "Zoom to Fill" function in the Print module. In other words: All the edits done on the photo do not show when "Zoom to Fill" is checked. This seems to happen regardless of the Paper size setting or any other setting in the Print module.

Update 5/17/2018: Though LR 7.1 made improvements, LR 7.3.1 still has two closely related problems with a single underlying cause:- With photos and videos missing metadata capture date/times (e.g. scans), there is still an inconsistency between the times shown under the thumbnails in grid view and in the Metadata panel and the hidden, internal times used for sorting in grid view.- Changing IPTC Date Created in the Metadata panel, either by editing the field or using Metadata > Copy/Paste Metadata, similarly causes inconsistent values to be shown and sorting and searching to work inconsistently.  It also causes date metadata to be written back to the files that doesn't conform with the Metadata Working Group's standard.The underlying cause is architectural: LR doesn't have a single internal catalog field representing "capture time".  Rather, it maintains capture time in several different fields, and the various parts of LR update those fields inconsistently.See here for pre

I am running teh latest in every way on my MacOS and All Adobe CC apps.   Every App is fine except LR Classic - I have tried every trouble shoot - uninstall reinstall etc.   I had this issue before and I trashed the preferences and it all seemed fine Suddenly it all went downhill.   If EVERY other App Adobe and otherwise run just fine then logic would dictate that LR clearly has an issue.     LR version 11.1 MacOS 12.1 Mac Mini M1 : 16GB ram and 1TB SSD   Everyuthing is updated.   When launching LR vis the App icon in dock or by clicking on a catalogue direct the results are the same a whopping crash report. Which by the way I'll gladly post here if anyone know how to read it.   Thnak you all for any help/solutions.

This problem seems to still exist for me, on my iPad Pro 11" running LR 7.1.0. (Canon EOS-R, RF24-240 lens).   Edits made on the desktop with LrC 11.1, and Lightroom on the web, have no problem, so the Smart Previews synced to the cloud are just fine initially.   However, as soon as I open one of the Smart Previews in LR on the iPad, and make an adjustment, the lens profile artifacts are immediately shown, even if I undo or cancel my changes. However, the same image back in LR Web or LrC on the desktop is fine (even after changes, the Smart Previews look fine in LR Web, and the changes sync back to the desktop without the artifacts). So it definitely seems to be a preview rendering issue on the iPad itself.   @Rikk Flohr: Photography , I'm not sure if I should open a new topic for this, or just append here.   Video below showing the issue. In the video you can see as soon as I make an adjustment, the whole screen jumps and the artifacts appear around the edge: &nbsp

Can you post the CR3 and the DNG to a file sharing service (Creative Cloud/DropBox/Etc) and post a link for us to obtain the files for engineering review?

Hi Team   I use LR classic for managing and basic editing of photos. Often I do shooting days with i.e. 15 people and about 3.000 photos. After that I use the stars and colors to mark the best of them. Also I use tags/keywords (i.e. person names or locations).   In the post processing I use stars and colors AND sometimes also tags/keywords to filter some pictures for editing. So far so good. It works. But...   When I filter using tags/keywords and then edit a photo in PS after returning the edited photo from PS to LR (also from Luminar to LR) the photo does no longer appear in the filter results. Disabling and enabling the filter doesn't work too. I have to end LR and restart it before the tagged PSD-file appear in the filter results.   That problem is since several versions of the applications and it's really taking a lot of time...   Thanks for watching and solving the problem!   Frank

I think the "Color" noise slider in Lightroom Classic has a bug specific to the Canon R5, in which the value gets multiplied by about 4 or 5. A setting of 5 for the Canon R5 is about the same as 25 for any other camera. At a setting of 25, low ISO images with pushed exposure and high ISO images show severe smearing of colours in the shadows. A similar thing happens for other cameras when the colour noise slider is set to 100.   I provide more detail (including sample photos) in this DPR thread:   https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4593805   The Canon R5 has been around a long time. It is an expensive camera and will soon become one of the leading full frame cameras. It astounds me that Adobe could allow a bug like this to make it into production software and then be left for so long. I am increasingly saddened by the poor support Adobe put into Lightroom Classic. I pay my monthly subscription fee, but my resolve is constantly tested.

Hi! Basics: LR6 on pc. Book module.   To see the individual book pages better, I zoom in by pressing 1:4 in the preview panel. But I don't get to move freely around the page, only up and down in the middle part of the page. The square (within the blue circle - see the print screen below) only moves up and down, not to the left or right. Is this a bug - or am I doing something wrong? I don't seem to have a horizontal scrolling option, either, so I don't get to check to the left and right of the square. Thanks a lot for your help!   Ingrid

MP3 files are showing up on the Import screen in LrC v11.0 on Windows.       And the following error is generated if you try to import them -        I normally do not import from folders that have anything but images in them, so I don't know how long this has been going on or what's expected, but I don't believe this is correct.  My 10.x installations are gone, so I can't test those, but mp3 files do not appear in the v8.2.1 Import screen.
