Bug Reports

Lightroom 4.3 on MacBook Pro Retina + Cinema Display: Cannot use Slideshow, get "An error occurred when attempting to change modules". OS X 10.8.2, 16Gb, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7. Approximately 30 seconds from installation to finding this bug.

We had this in LR2 and it disappeared in LR3. It was promised to be fixed, but as of the LR4 Beta, I still haven't seen it.

I don't see this documented anywhere, and to me it's a bug. If I have a TIFF (or JPG I guess) in Lightroom, and do an EDIT IN photoshop, using original, the image will be updated, but that image will not be marked for republish in any publishing collections in which it exists. Lightroom should check to see if the image has changed and mark it so. I realize there are some timing and synchronization issues, but the current process (which leaves it always unmarked) means published collections are falling out of date. Note it "notices" that a new preview is needed, so it should be able to also notice that "hey, and if I need a new preview and it's published, must need to republish also". I've tried this with a couple of plugins, so I assume it is systemic and not plugin specific, but have not looked at the mechanics in the SDK. Am I correct this should be handled generally, not in the plugin?

When going into Full Screen Preview mode by pressing 'F' from the Develop module the text 'No photo selected.' is shown when an adjustment has been made. Undo the the adjustment and press 'F' again. The 'No photo selected.' text is shown again. Tap the 'G' key to go back to the grid view in the Library module. Tap the 'D' key to go to the Develop module. Tap the 'F' key to go to 'Full Screen Preview' mode. No text is shown this time. Was happening in Lightroom 5.3 and in 5.4 too. I don't know if this was the case for previous versions. Running on Mac OS X.

I have a MacBook Pro Retina. OXS 10.8.4 Just loaded LR5 from a disk. Version 5.0 Camera Raw 8.1 No updates avail for either. First thing I wanted to do was "Keep in Dock" the icon/shortcut. The moment I tried to select it and move it across the bottom of the screen/reorganize it in the dock, it locked my whole computer up. A force quit on LR didn't help. Everything but cursor was frozen. I uninstalled LR5 and tried a fresh re-load. Same problem. Every time I opened LR5, and tried to move the icon in the dock, it froze. In the APP pages, I moved the icon from one page to another, and then went back to the dock. This was the ONLY time I was able to move it in the dock. every attempt after this, was a restart, to gain function to the computer again. I can video this and post it somewhere if it helps. Also, the double finger tap/"right click" feature didn't work on LR5 either, to try and add to dock or remove from dock. When everything froze, with small windows (three finger swipe up), the

When importing photos into LR5 from a memory card if you choose to import from source: "device" the thumbnails will take extremely long to populate or will not populate at all. However, if you navigate under the "files" section and choose your memory card the thumbnails populate correctly. Clearly this is a bug!

I'm working on TIFF images with 32bits depth in Lightroom 5.3 and I noticed that spot removal is not working properly on this kind of image. On 32bits image, the area where I applied the tool became noisy: On the same image converted to 16bit the area seems smooth: Another example: 32bit image: 16bit image:

When I import 7D images to desktop Lr 5.4 I default with white balance As Shot, Clarity +12, and Vibrance +10. All other exposure values are set to 0. Lr 5.4 considers the image to have no develop settings. When this image is synced to Lr Mobile I notice that the temperature and tint values do not match (e.g. 5750, +32 in desktop Lr but 5800, +21 in Lr Mobile). No adjustments have been made in either app. Furthermore, clarity and vibrance are shown as 0 in Lr Mobile but 12 and 10 in desktop Lr. I would think all values should match in either app. Lr Mobile seems to treat default develop settings in an odd way. If I try the following I get more weirdness: 1. Import photo to desktop Lr applying develop defaults. 2. Sync to Lr Mobile. Values as explained above do not show identical values. 3. Make a dramatic tint adjustment (+150) on desktop. 4. Synced photo in Lr Mobile shows the change and shows identical values in both apps. 5. Click Reset in develop module on the desktop so image has

The Lightroom 5.2 update added a bug to the Full Screen Preview mode. Previously, when in Full Screen Preview mode and you hit a quick key to enter a module (rather than exiting by hitting "F") it would simply exit the Full Screen Preview mode and enter said module without changing your screen mode, but now... Now when I exit with "F" everything is fine, but if I exit with "Esc", "D", "G", or "E" then it takes me OUT of Full Screen and into Normal. This is incredibly frustrating.

I am a professional photographer who relies heavily on LR for my digital workflow. I tether my Nikon D3 and D3x to LR frequently. I've never had an issue with tethering my cameras to LR until this past week. And, after much frustration and processes-of-elimination and testing the issue across multiple machines, I BELIEVE that the problem has to do with the latest OSX 10.6.8 update when running LR 3.4.1. You can read my initial post about this problem on Adobe forums here http://forums.adobe.com/message/37883... when I was stumped about why it was happening. Then you can see my follow-up post about this problem today here http://forums.adobe.com/message/37894... and why I think it has to do with the recent 10.6.8 update. Please feel free to contact me for anymore information. I really hope you can look into this issue. Thank you, Scott Woodward

I have JPG and DNG versions of images. If I edit metadata in these files externally to Lightroom, then only the JPG versions get flagged by LR5 as having had their metadata changed on disk. As far as LR5 is concerned, the DNG files remain untouched, which is incorrect. Is this a bug?

made a bunch of photos with the new nikon d800. 2 out of 14 nef files cannot be imported with lightroom 4 while the other 12 import fine.

Noticed this problem a few time now with the latest update 5.2 on OSX. When I sync some frames in the film strip, some of the frames that have been synced show up with a green preview. Image attached to demonstrate this. The white balance gets reset to some bizarre figure. The original that the images were synching from was set to Auto WB. So no idea why the program decides to change it. Clearly a bug, this has happened quite a few times now.

Bug in Photoshop Lightroom. When I go to export a number of files, I have the resize option selected to resize the long edge with the "do not enlarge" checked. This works on the vertical files but not the horizontal files. The files I'm exporting ar DNG files created by the same camera and resolution. I've tried resize by inches and by pixels but still only the verticals ar resized, the horizontals are native resolution. I am running Mac OS 10.6.5 with Lightroom 3.4. My only solution was to select the horizontals separately and then export resize hight and width with only the width value. I didn't have this problem with previous versions.

Just updated Lightroom to 5.2. When I publish photos to flickr, then click back to a different collection, the photos shown in the grid are photos from the flickr set being published instead. This happens every time I publish to flickr. Occasionally, photos in other collections disappear instead, once I begin publishing.

Hello, I am using Lightroom 4.2 (updated today) on Windows 7 64bit. I have an issue using the adjustment brush with the option "Auto Mask" within a 32 bit TIFF file: the Auto Mask magic there does not work. I've created 32 bit TIFF files using the "merge to HDR Pro in Photoshop" workflow, where the resulting TIFF is automatically added back to Lightroom. There, I edit the TIFF just in the same way as I edit any other picture in Lightroom. Some of my TIFF files have very clear edges with high contrast. Example: I assume you agree with me that the adjustment brush Auto Mask must be able to detect this particular edge between the blue sky and the almost black wall of a building. However, when I use the adjustment brush on this edge (no feather, 100 density and flow, show selected mask overlay in green), it does not detect the transition: When I do the same in one of the RAW pictures that contributed to the TIFF above, Auto Mask works as expected: I tried this with various edges in vari

Here's how to reproduce de bug:   Go to the Spot Removal tool when an image is presented at "FIT" magnification (although it can be reproduced in a number of scenarios, but this one is as good as any).   Enable Visualize Spots.   Go to 1:1 magnification.   Get out of Spot Removal.   While still at 1:1 magnification, if you move around (default hand tool) in the image, the "Visualize Spots" overlay is still active until you release the mouse button, after which it quickly disappears. This goes on until you perform another action, like going back to "FIT" magnification or moving a slider, but not when selecting a number of other tools, like Red Eye Correction, Graduated Filter, etc.  

In 4.4 the mouse scroll wheel does not work on sliders. You broke it.This function worked fine in 4.3. Left click on slider triangle, scroll right or left with mouse wheel. Rich

upgraded to LR 5. Hard Bug in the Diashow module. Full black screen ever and ever.... the Diashow module gets to black screen if I try to start the start button or the preview button. No run of the dia show. Exit by using ESC key is impossible. System is full blocked after starting the diashow module. It was an upgrade comming from LR 3. This version is running well. What is Adobe thinking to do to fix this bug. Please send instruction for fixing /improvement. Also the performance is getting down . This LR5 tool is not longer for professional use until the systems can perfom the workflow comparable to LR3/LR4 level, minimum . Grafik on board of my comuter is GTX20 (Gforce) Please send instruction how Adobe will fix this problem. What can I do ? Money back ?

I've just upgraded my LR4 to LR5.2 and after open my LR4 catalog in LR5.2 I discovered that some photos (not all) with many spot removal applied are not rendering right: LR4: LR5.2: Am I doing something wrong or is it really a sw bug?

In LR 5.2, there are many bugs with videos and smart-collection dimension criteria. In particular, these criteria do not match any of the .mp4 and .avi videos I tested with: Cropped is false Long Edge is greater than 0 Short Edge is greater than 0 Width is greater than 0 Height is greater than 0 Width, Uncropped is greater than 0 Height, Uncropped is greater than 0 Megapixels is greater than 0.0 (Megapixels is defined for images simply as width x height / 1,000,000; should be the same for videos.) Strangely, the following criteria do work correctly for the tested videos: Long Edge, Uncropped greater than 0 Short Edge, Uncropped greater than 0 Megapixels, Uncropped is greater than 0.0 Aspect Ratio is landscape

Please fix the Lightroom issue in which pesky (-1) and (-2) digits that are added to files names for no apparent reason. I rename using a custom template (0001_YYMMDD), and it does not get rid of these numbers that LR adds making a file number like 2485_111004.CRW become 2485_111004-1.CRW or 2485_111004-2.CRW Running the rename command again does not get rid of these extra numbers. I need a way to rename that gives each file a unique number with no extra -1 or -2 or -3 digits at the end of each filename. Thanks!

Major bug! Using LR5 on PC / Win 7 Pro SP1 - In Library module, grid view, publish services, I noticed that the selections in the film strip and the grid view do not always concur. For example, if I select a published image, then (without holding down any modifying key) select an unpublished image, the initial published image remain selected. Doing the same, only on the published images (or the un-published images), seems to work as expected. I believe that I must have accidently deleted some images from my publish service from this bug, so it's a serious issue. It appears that the selections from the unpublished / published images are working independently.

Hi, Sometimes in the Library module, the image displayed is pixelized, this often happens when I go back to a already reviewed image: If I zoom to 100% then unzoom, the image appears sharp again. This bug was not affecting LR versions <= 4.2 and is quite blocker for a photographic tool IMHO Thx.

I run Lightroom 4 on a Windows 8 pc. When I try to export images, I use the file settings to limit the size of the export images to a specified size (2000 K). When I ran LR4 on a Windows7 pc, I had no problems, but using the same settings on a Windows 8 PC, I get an error message after the export is completed indicating "some export operations were not performed" along with a list of files. When I look at the export destination, all files are present, but the size of the files do not meet the 2000K limit I asked for. As I mentioned, the settings are the same as I used without issue with a Windows 7 PC. I have run both LR4 and LR4.3 with the same results. Is this a known error? Is it being addressed? When can I expect a fix? This significantly impacts my workflow. Thanks.
