Bug Reports

When multiple videos are selected, Edit Capture Time incorrectly shows the message for a single photo selected, rather than a message that indicates the capture times of the other videos will be adjusted by the same amount as the first: When multiple photos and at least one video is selected, the message incorrectly states that videos will not be adjusted: But in these cases, the problem is just with the message being displayed. Clicking Change All correctly adjusts the capture times of the other videos by the same amount as the most-selected photo/video. Tested on LR 15.4.1 / Mac OS 26.4.1.

In LRC, I have many hierarchical keyword structures, amongst which are locations, i.e. Country/State/City and in some cases location or street name.  Since version 15.4.1, LRC deletes upper level location keywords (Country and State, or when there's a fourth level then it deletes the city too) after a photo has been synced to the cloud. The keywords still exist in the cloud. I have checked other hierarchical trees and the keywords are all syncing correctly. If I reenter the locations the save metadata to file, the keywords once again disappear.I'm running LRC 15.4.1 on a Windows 11 Pro computer with Admin rights. Lightroom, catalog and photos are all on (separate) local nvme ssds. Plenty of space, plenty of speed.

Sync Settings with Upright Transforms checked doesn’t always check Copy automatically, as was intended by the undocumented change in LR 15.0.  To reproduce on LR 15.3 / Mac OS 26.2 (see the attached screen recording): 1. Save the attached file Upright-Transforms.lrtemplate (created in LR 14) to the Copy Paste Subsets subfolder of the Lightroom settings folder.  Restart LR. 2. Select two photos and do Sync Settings. Click Check None and click Synchronize. 3. Do Sync Settings again, select the subset Upright Transforms, and observe that Crop is checked (correct).  Click Synchronize. 4. Do Sync Settings again.Observe that the subset Upright Transforms is selected (correct) but that Crop is unchecked (incorrect). When you click Synchronize, the Crop is copied, even though it is unchecked.

Then I apply AI denoise, in LR Classic 15.3 it does it in the background which I really like, however once I apply it to let’s say 100 pictures, and start editing the ones that already editable, it is stopping at the last few images. It is toally random where it is stopping but all the AI denoise remains in a stuck position and I can’t edit those photos unless I restart LR Classic. Sometimes these are images that already have some AI denoise on them, I just don’t bother to select the ones that doesn’t have it, so I paste the settings to all. And usually it is stuck it one point of the process.It only goes through the process if I don’t start editing any other photos, just wait for the whole process to finish. Lightroom Classic version 15.3Mac OS Sequoia 15.7.5Maxed out M1 Max MacBook Pro with Apple Studio Display 5K.

The red-x Reject badges persist on thumbnails in the filmstrip even when all the Select and Reject checkboxes in Assisted Culling are unchecked.  To reproduce on LR 15.4.1 / Mac OS 26.4.1: 1. Download and open the attached catalog. 2. In the Assisted Culling panel, uncheck all the checkboxes. Observe that the red-x badges still appear on the filmstrip thumbnails:  I haven’t discovered any way to make them disappear, including by deleting the Helper.lrdata file.

This is core to my workflow, an absolutely necessary feature I use every single time I’m editing photos. In the Develop Module, under let’s say the “Basic” adjustments panel, one should be able to adjust values (such as Exposure, Contrast, Highlights, Shadows, Whites, Blacks, etc.) while hovering the mouse cursor over a section of the photo (in the Loupe View) and see RGB values changing under the histogram.In the latest version, the RGB values are no longer displayed under the histogram while those values are being adjusted. For example, I click the number next to the ‘Highlights’ slider and move my cursor over to a white part of the image. When I press the up arrow on my keyboard to increase the value of that number, the RGB values under the histogram *should* be displayed and also increasing. Instead, they are not displayed at all.I have downgraded to the previous version and the program’s behavior returns to expected. This is a brand new computer, fresh win 11, AMD Ryzen 7 7700X; 3

Recipe:  When the secondary window is in grid view, it doesn’t always respond to the keyboard shortcuts “f”, Escape, or Shift+g.  To reproduce on LR 15.3 / Mac OS 26.4.1, follow these precise steps (see the attached screen recording): 1. In LR, go to Grid view, close the secondary display window if it’s open, and do Window > Screen Mode > Normal 2. Restart LR. 3. Do the menu command Window > Secondary Display > Grid to open the secondary window in Grid view. 4. Select a thumbnail in the secondary window and type “f”. Observe that nothing happens (incorrect). 5. Do the menu command Window > Screen Mode > Full Screen Preview (the command invoked by the shortcut “f”) and observe that the image is displayed in full screen. 6. Type Escape to exit full screen preview and observe nothing happens (incorrect). Typing “g” and Shift+g also have no effect (incorrect).   7. Type Cmd + Tab and then Tab to switch to an app other than LR. LR is now no longer in full screen mode. 8. C

No matter if I wait several hours it won't move any progress = I Cant export slideshow as Video   I always used this function, for a few years, day by days   I uninstalled the LR and tried reinstalling it, but it still failed. Does anybody have the same issue?I wonder if it is a problem related to M4 chips. Please kindly help and fix please!

System: Mac M1 Air 16gb/512gb OS: Sonoma 14.3.1 LRC Version: 13.1 Release ---------------   Three Issues: 1) I have a preset folder with six custom presets.  When doing multiple exports using the batch export feature, LRC often doesn't launch the same number of processes as there are presets selected.  I select 6 presets and it will only do 4 sometimes, 5 others.  Sometimes it does all 6.  I have to examine the export folder, see which ones it missed, and go back and re-export the ones it didn't do.  Annoying.   Potential Fix:  If LRC can't do all of the processes because of system limitations (I don't know why on a Mac M1 that would be the case), at least inform the user which ones are being done and which are not.  Perhaps a loop to do sets consecutively with proper UI notification would be a good approach.   2) When doing multiple exports, a dialog comes up for each process, "Preparing to export".   "number of processes - 1

[This bug report was originally posted on 1/26/2019 in the old feedback forum, but it never got transferred here. See the attached email message.]   In LR 14.3.1 / Windows 11, when LR is in  Window > Screen Mode > Full Screen, floating dialogs always appear hidden in back of the main LR window, and calling the toFront() function has no effect. This prevents my Any Crop and Any Filter plugins from being used in Full Screen mode. This doesn't occur in the other screen modes, nor does it occur on Mac OS 15.5.   This simple plugin demonstrates the bug:https://www.dropbox.com/s/6d1l3llo5dwzzuw/floatingfullscreenbug.lrdevplugin.zip?dl=0 Simply invoke Library > Plug-in Extras > Floating Dialog in the various Screen Modes. The command executes this simple code: LrDialogs.presentFloatingDialog (_PLUGIN, { title = "Floating Fullscreen Bug", contents = f:push_button {title = "Push Me"}, onShow = showErrors (function (t) LrTasks.startAsyncTask (s

Hello: I just updated to the 15.0 release and I think I just discovered a bug. When I click Edit Capture Time via the Metadata tab, whatever time I enter is one hour off from the time that shows up in the EXIF data panel (and how it sorts the photo if "Capture Time" is used to sort the library); therefore to get the EXIF information to show up correctly, I must purposely enter the information one hour behind the time I want it to be (see screenshot where I want 5:31pm to be the edited time, but I must enter 4:31pm to get 5:31pm).  -- Scott, MacBook Pro, Apple M3 Pro chip, macOS Sequoia 15.6.1.

When importing Leica M11 DNG files using Adobe Default (as shown in the Preferences / Presets -- Global setting) Adobe Standard is applied as the Profile instead of Adobe Color.  When I create and specify a Preset which specifically uses Adobe Color as the Profile, Adobe Standard is still applied.  If I specify to use Camera Setting, then the embedded M11 profile is correctly applied.  As a work-around,  I can indeed force the Adobe Color profile to be applied if I specify it as the Apply During Import - Development Setting (right-hand panel when importing) and select under the Defaults presets - Adobe Color + Lens or similar. [Moved to Color Management by moderator authority]

In Lightroom it is impossible to edit a photo as much as we want or need, using Masking regardless of the hardware you have.EXPLANATION Let's say you want to edit a photo with Masking to your heart's content OR because you need to change many aspect of the photo.Logic tells you "we have Masking so obviously it's possible to do masking safely and as much as I want"Reality is that in Lightroom Classic there is an "upper limit" of local edits that we can have on a photo: once we reach that "upper limit" the photo will be be reset.So in Lr it's not possible to sue Masking as much as we want/need.Usually if you have lots, lots of edits on an image other editing software struggle and get progressively slower and slower (if one has powerful hardware generally slowdowns don't happen or appear later) but in LR a photo can reach a point where it's no longer editable and it will be reset NO MATTER THE HARDWARE YOU HAVE. All Masking tools (gradients, sp

Bonjour,   bonen années à tous !!! J'ai depuis longtemps des problèmes avec LRC et la synchronisation de collections. certaines photos qui étaient synchronisées deviennent tout à coup problématiques. par exemple ici, j'ai des photos que j'ai modifiées et elles sont depuis plusieurs jours en attente de sync. Je n'ai que l'information d'un probleme qualifié "image". Parfois on a "métadonnées". Je ne sais pas comment interpréter ces informations et en core moins comment corriger. si quelqu'un peut m'aider ... ce problème d'incohérence me pourrit la vie depuis très longtemps et jamais personne n'est arrivé à m'aider ! merci d'avance   about LRC :

On macOS Tahoe, Lightroom Classic overshoots when navigating with arrow keys on MacBook Pro models with ProMotion enabled. Setting the display refresh rate to 60 Hz immediately eliminates the issue. Reproduced on both M1 Max and M5 Max with fresh macOS and Lightroom installations. Does not occur on an M4 MacBook Air (60 Hz display).

Lightroom Classic 15.0.1, Windows 25H2 26200.7171, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 (32.0.15.7602)   I took a photo of a bunch of fish swimming around behind a glass window. I wanted to use both reflection removal and AI Denoise. According to this page, I perform the AI Denoise first.   Here is the photo I used: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/2zqjndbvb4i2mcwqqrgku/PMC_3135.NEF?rlkey=gq1w1mwdiu86oab9avto3wj9i&st=bi4tyj72&dl=0   Here is a screen capture of the unedited version of this photo, you can see reflections as well as noise       Here are the steps I followed:   1. AI Denoise, slider at 50, works as expected, noise is reduced.  2. Distraction Removal: Reflection, slider at 100. Reflection is not removed. Here is a screen capture after both steps, the noise reduction remains effective, but the reflection is not removed.     Also, please note that if I perform the steps in the opposite order (Remove Reflections first, the reflections are removed) but when I then add on the AI Deno
