Bug Reports

Yes, this exact question has been raised many times in the past and those posts have all been closed as “answered” without any resolution.  This is still an issue.I open LrC, import and make edits.  LrC sits idle with computer running for at least an hour.  Try to close LrC and it spends several minutes  "Writing Metadata Changes into XMP" before the app exits.  What is LrC doing while idle after the last edit was made that it now needs to do when I’m trying to shut down the computer?  This is unacceptably poor performance but vaguely understandable as edits were in fact made.  Why are the XMP writes not happening during idle time rather than forced immediately at exit?The same delay occurs without making edits.  Open LrC, make no edits and immediately try to open another catalog.  LrC shows the "Writing Metadata Changes into XMP" message for several minutes before finally restarting with the other catalog.  This is after LrC spent several minutes  "Writing Metadata Changes into XMP" p

I did update to GoldenGate 27 an now there are problems. First, Lightroom Classic´s tethering is out of function. No response. How ro solve this problem?

Ran into this issue for the first time this week, although I've had the same workflow for years.   Edit RAW images in Lightroom Classic > select photo and "Edit in Photoshop" > make edits as needed > Export from Photoshop as JPG or PNG   Now as soon as I export the photo from Photoshop, it will immediately affect the photo in the Lightroom catalog. It removes the rating (1-5 stars) and removes ALL edit settings, but the +/- icon on the bottom right of the thumbnail remains as if there are changes made. I can go back on the photo, look at the edit history, select the most recent change and the photo will go back to the edited version that I moved into Photoshop with, but this shouldn't be happening in the first place. This also happens when I save the file from Photoshop (to my computer or the cloud).   I've checked export settings on both softwares and can't find anything.    Using MacBook Pro 2020 M1 MacOS Tahoe 26.1Photoshop 27.1Lightroom Classic 15.

Nach dem Start von LrC wird ein Katalog gefunden, es werden aber keine Dateien angezeigt.Eine Bildschirmmeldung besagt: Die Datei wurde nicht gefunden. Auch die Wahl anderer Kataloge funktioniert nicht. Was ist zu tun??  

When I try to copy the settings from one image to another one of two things happen.First, not all of the settings, such as white balance, copy across to the second image, despite this being selected in the copy panel.The second is all of the settings copy over, but the image then looks much duller and hazier. This is even when images are taken in the same setting so the lighting is the same.I’ve tried closing and reloading lightroom and it still makes no difference. Pre-update this wasn’t an issue.

What happens: I launched LrC and opened my catalog. The app showed no window, and macOS reported it as “Application Not Responding” for a long time. The other catalog I use opens normally. This has happened before, and I’ve assumed LrC was frozen and force-quit it several times.What it was actually doing: I looked at it with Activity Monitor, sample, and read-only queries against the catalog. LrC wasn’t frozen. At launch it was working through AgLibraryImageXMPUpdater, the internal queue for “write metadata to XMP”, and the main thread was blocked waiting for it to finish.About 15,000 photos were queued within 2–3 minutes of the previous launch. I didn’t make any bulk changes. I edited a handful of photos in that session. Each queued photo means reading the file over SMB, at about 4–5 photos a second. That works out to roughly an hour of startup with no window. Not one file on disk was actually changed. Every check found the metadata already matched. The whole hour went on confirming n

I'm having an issue with panning images in the Develop module of Lightroom Classic 15.6 on Windows 11(Build No. 26200.9711). When I hold down the Spacebar, the cursor changes to the Hand icon as expected, but clicking and dragging doesn't move the image. This happens not only in Masking but also when using other tools in Develop. Steps to reproduce: Open a photo in Develop and zoom in. Select Masking > Brush. Hold down the Spacebar until the Hand cursor appears. Click and drag the image while holding the Spacebar.  Expected behavior:The image should pan while I'm holding the Spacebar and dragging. Actual behavior:The cursor changes to the Hand icon, but the image doesn't move. What I've checked so far: Dragging the image directly at 200% zoom works fine. Panning through Navigator in Develop works normally. Panning zoomed images in Library also works. I haven't tested disabling GPU acceleration yet.  Since panning works normally in these other cases, the issue seems to be

Ik heb uiteindelijk de preferences gereset om LR toch te kunnen openen, aangezien deze elke keer bleef hangen op het openen van de oude catalogus. Dit verhelpt echter niet het probleem.

SummaryLandscape AI masking in Lightroom Classic 15.5/15.5.1 progressively becomes extremely slow during normal use on my system.Immediately after a Windows reboot, a Landscape mask typically completes in approximately 6–7 seconds. After continued Lightroom use, the same operation on comparable images can take 60–90+ seconds.I captured a controlled example in Lightroom Classic 15.5.1:Degraded state before Windows reboot: 86.68 secondsNormal state immediately after Windows reboot: 6.51 secondsThis represents approximately a 13.3× slowdown.Restarting Lightroom does not consistently restore normal performance. Rebooting Windows restores the fast Landscape masking performance.The problem appears specific to, or particularly severe with, Landscape AI masking. Other AI masks such as Sky and Subject do not exhibit the same degree of degradation in my testing.System ConfigurationOperating System: Windows 11CPU: Intel Core i9-14900KRAM: 64 GBGPU: AMD Radeon RX 9070, 16 GB dedicated VRAMAMD driv

I am using Lightroom Classic 15.6 on a single PC.Synchronization has been stuck for several weeks. Lightroom Classic continuously shows 154 photos as Uploading, with no progress.Most of these photos are unedited originals.Troubleshooting already performed: Signed out and back into Creative Cloud. Restarted Lightroom Classic and Creative Cloud. Checked Lightroom Web: only one sync issue appears, involving a different TIFF file (IMG_5093-Bewerkt.tif). No All Sync Errors collection exists in the catalog. Generated a Sync Diagnostic Report. Could you investigate whether this is a known Lightroom Classic 15.6 synchronization issue or an inconsistent cloud synchronization state?I would like to resolve this without losing my catalog, local originals, edits or existing cloud data.

The scroll bar under the thumbnail window has shrunk after updating to 15.6, and grabbing it has become more difficult. 

Selecting 3 photos then doing a Photo Merge → HDR rarely completes. 

DescriptionReporting an interoperability problem between Lightroom Classic and ChatGPT desktop Computer Use, at the user's explicit request. The root cause is unconfirmed; this may lie in the capture/control layer, Lightroom rendering/accessibility, or their interaction.

Installed this and my tethered camera setup no longer works.  It appears to work as before, but no images are transferred.  Canon R1, Windows 11.  Anyone else having tethering issues?

OS: Windows 11LrC VERSION: 14.5A couple of days ago I upgrade to v14.5.As for every update, I regurlay empty cache, optimise catalog, remove all previews and generate new standard ones (also, I wanted to test how was was the new option to use GPU for generating previews).Never had a problem with this workflow.After previews generation process was completed (1h 30m for 29.000 files, 23.000 jpegs and 6.000 raws) I got an error: for 21 RAWs the preview could not be generated. Looking in the catalog at those files, I realised they have an exclamation mark on a dark circle: this is not the missing photo mark. If I click on the exclamation mark, I see error "Lightroom has encountered problems reading this photo, you are not allowed to edit this image. " Yet, I can still enter develop module and edit the photos without any problem: the editing history is there, I can zoom in at 100% (generating the 1:1 preview), I can change sliders, export... Everything... (PS: I do not use smart previe

I see multiple instances of this issue from years ago, and a bug that was reported as fixed in the 11.3 release notes. But I wanted to report I’m still seeing it in 15.6:Printing an uncropped iPhone landscape-oriented photo in the Print module, using “Zoom to Fill” and 4x6 paper. The output is a wider aspect ratio, so requires cropping the top/bottom of the photo. If I drag to display the very bottom of the photo and crop the top on screen, the print output is the opposite: keeps the top, crops the bottom. And vice versa if I drag in the other direction.

HI, today I licensed Adobe Cloud with LR Classic 14. I installed LR Classic 14. After start LR tried to upgrade my old legacy LR 6 catalog to the newest format. An error message occured.   Questions: - Can LrC 14 migrate an old legacy LR 6 catalog? - How can I avoid the error during upgrade?   Thanks.  

I am running Lightroom Classic on a Mac mini (M6 processor, macOS GoldenGate) and notice that for a couple of weeks it can’t sync the same set of photos (5) to the cloud. Syncing does work (just created a new collection with 40 photos in it which synced perfectly to the cloud) but it is these 5 photos (from seemingly random collections) which refuse to do so.Already tried a couple of things:Rebuild Sync Data, which took a couple of hours to re-sync all synced collections (but at the end the very same 5 photos were left in the list Removed one of the 5 photos (as a guinea pig) from “all synced photos” then watched it being removed on the cloud collection and the re-adding it to its shared collections: it doesn’t sync, it gets removed from that collection but not from the “all synced photos”! and  the number of photos to sync (which went down to 4 after removing it from “all synced photos”) remains stuck at 5 again. Removed all edits (read somewhere that some lingering outdated AI edit m

Hi,after the latest update to v15 of LR for Windows, the behaviour of the cropping tool changed. It's really annoying: It is very difficult to create a selection in portrait format with the mouse in this case. Simply dragging diagonally downwards is no longer sufficient – see my screen video here:https://youtu.be/NYfgYOV3IXE Any idea to get back the old behaviour – not by using the previous version of LR 😉 Thanks!mycc

Select a number of photos say about 200 on the film strip. auto sync on Hit auto to adjust the settings automatically. Can be done on library or develop module does not matter to the issueLightroom will adjust the settings automatically and you can go to different photos and the automatic settings would have been applied to all the photos.Now adjust one setting on one photo with auto sync on (eg. bring the vibrance or saturation down back to 0 or a different amount….in this case vibrance to -5)Browse the rest of the photos … The rest of the photos should now have auto adjustments applied + the vibrace slider to where you adjusted it manually. However when I do this other than some photos that are in immediate to left and right of the photo that was active while I did the vibrance adjustment the rest of the photos has the auto adjustments back down to 0 and the only vibrace is at -5. This seems to affect tone and vibrance saturation.. not presence (probably because auto does not affect

Une fois mes photos retouchées, je veux les exporter. Certaines photos s’exportent, d’autres non.Généralement les photos avec visages sont celles qui ne s’exportant pas.Je ne peux pas créer de copie virtuelle de ces photos.

When I switch on the slide-show modus = manual I get the message"Manual mode does not support these settings".The maximum show-time in automatic-mode is 20s, which is sometimes not sufficient to talk about the pic with friends, hence I'd like to run the slides in manual mode.When I search in Google for this issue I get hints, that I should switch off music etc., but I have no music-file attached. Another hint says that this message is an system-issue and can be ignored, it should run anyway: which is not true. The show runs for e.g. ten pics, then it freezes and stops. 

Description of IssueI defined in a plugin a custom metadata "Intent", of type “enum”, which can have any of the following values: "Expressive", "Personal", "Documentary" (the plugin code is here: https://github.com/mrzgll/ma-intent-metadata).The metadata is set by the user in the metadata panel. In order to check if there are any photos with Intent not initialized (i.e. nil), I created a Smart Collection with the condition "Intent" is "No Value.The Smart Collection works correctly, showing all photos whose ‘Intent’ metadata has not been assigned yet.If I reopen the Smart Collection I always find the condition changed: "No Value" is no longer there, there is a blank field instead. If I save this Smart Collection, it no longer works.Lightroom Classic Version Number15.6OS Version NumberMicrosoft Windows 11 ProVersion    10.0.26300 Build 26300Step-by-step Reproduction InstructionsLaunch Lightroom Classic Open a catalog of your choice (it shall contain at least 1 photo) Install and activate
