Bug Reports

Mac OS Sequoia 15.5 / Lightroom desktop 8.4. If: I create a mask (e.g., Select Color) then choose intersect with Brush, the brush doesn't show until the mouse button is pushed and the size cannot be controled using the sq bracket keys although the slider works. Once the brush shows, it doesn't disappear until another item is selected. This problem does not exist in Classic or Photo Raw. This wasn't an issue prior to the update yesterday.

If you hover over a folder or album with an ampersand in its name, and the name is long enough to be truncated (therefore warranting a tooltip), you'll notice that the ampersand does not show up in the tooltip: an underscore appears instead.   For example, if the name is "Crate & Barrel" the tooltip shows "Crate _Barrel".

Since downloading the latest version of Lightroom for iPhone, I have been unable to post photos on Instagram. I keep getting error messages. I removed both apps and reinstalled them, but they did not solve the problem. The same thing happens on my iPad. I think it's a bug in the latest version of LR.

Lightroom 8.5.1Mac Studio M1 MaxMacos 15.6.1 Steps:1. Create new mask with a Brush >> the brush strokes appear as expected with a red overlay2. Close Masking and go to Grid view.3. Open same picture in Edit4. Open Masking and select the brush mask >> the red mask overlay is one moment visible and then disappears. It does not come back by toggling 'Show overlay'. Workaround:Go to 'Compare' view and back to 'Detail' view, the red overlay mask appears again and stays visible. I have tried resetting Preferences and reinstalling Lightroom, but this behaviour stays the same.Hope this issue will be resolved in the next update soon. Greetings, Peter Vrijlandt

Any star-ratings applied to RAF files coming from the new Fujifilm GFX100RF are not being recognized by Lightroom (nor Bridge). In-camera star ratings applied to GFX100RF JPG and HIF files are being imported recognized no problem.   I have tested with both uncompressed and compressed RAF files. No difference.   RAF files that were star-rated in-camera on my X100VI or X-T5 work properly; the ratings appear as expected in both Lr and Br. This problem only seems to happen with RAF files from the GFX100RF (for me).   As a sanity check, the star ratings are clearly visible in the RAF files using EXIFTOOL, Photo Mechanic, and FastRawViewer.I've tested this on the Mac, iPhone and iPad versions of Lr.      

For whatever reason, when iOS is set to 12h time instead of 24h, Lightroom bugs out when exporting images and overwrites the date and time metadata with the current date and time, causing the photo to be out of order and not placed next to the original in the camera roll.

Does not crash without watermark. (I want to have my watermark on my photos) Following is the crash report: <Crash report attached as document>

Recently started using the secondary display feature on Lightroom CC, setting it to Photo Grid, while the primary is in detail mode.  I'll use the Photo Grid to sort thru similar pictures and reject using the X key. The issue is that if you maximize the Secondary display, then select images and hit x, the secondary window resizes to smaller than full screen.   Version 8.5.1 Windows 11 Steps to reproduce:  In main window, in the bottom icon for Secondary Window, select photogrid.  Move secondary window to second monitor and either double click the header or click the maximize icon.  Select either 1 or many images in the photo grid.  Hit the X key to reject.  Secondary window will come out of full screen.

**New post below on 7th May 2025** I have this same problem on 2 installs. On Macbook Pro and Mac Studio. iPhone and iPad versions work fine.   I'm on latest MACOS and Latest Lightroom desktop. Screenshots show RAM in Activity Monitor..   I've tried uninstalling on both machines. I've even reinstalled the OS. Have waited on possible updates fixing things but it still happens.   Very frustrating as I'm paying for the app but can't use it on full screen monitor with keyboard and mouse.   Any ideas? I can't seem to find references or answers to my problem so I have no idea if this is unique to me somehow.   Help/advice appreciated.

I updated to the latest version of the cloud based lightroom last night and noticed the lens vignetting is gone on the lens corrections tab. So it leaves a vignette on my images and I'm unable to fix it. Anyone know if there's a way to get that back? 

Lightroom overlays do not appear. The overlays do not appear and no matter how many settings I change, they do not respond at all.

While trying to import from an sd card to light room it tells me to grant access to files and folders.  That is already toggled on. As well as photos having full access.  It's still preventing me from importing photos from an sd card. Even without the sd card connected and I click import, it tells me to grant access to Lightroom. It's been toggled on and off. Force reset and reinstalled with the same issue

Since the new update in Lightroom (8.31), when I export an image, items I've removed with generate remove do not apear in the exported image.

Hello, I am also facing an issue for some time now and I would like to report it.   I edit all my photos on the Lightroom desktop aplication and sometimes I like to check how they look on the Lightroom mobile app on my android phone.   If I edit a photo on my desktop and create multiple edited versions, I can see all of the different versions correctely named on the android app. However, when I click in any of these versions on the android app the photo actually reverts back to the original unedited version. Even the preview for each version shows the original unedited photo.   I have tried to reinstall the android app and had no luck. If you could solve this would really appreciate it.  I have been facing this issue for more than a month now and it is becoming unconvenient.    Thanks!

I paid for the premium service but I didn't receive it.

Hi    since last update (10.5) , when I edit a picture ( raw or jpeg) on my iPad Pro , and rotate my screen work on 16:9, the screen freezes immediately after screen rotation ,  during few minutes. Impossible to do anything , even to shut down the iPad. The apps stay open and frozen . After few minutes, iPad restart.    I reproduced this bug several times with same scenario    no issue on my iPhone with the same picture    very strange 

Hi there. I have seen some discussion of this kind of thing before, but I have never seen anything definitive. Today I tried to open a picture and it blurred so badly it was ruined and I couldn't find a way to undo it. This is a Video of what I am talking about.   How can I disable this or at least undo it?   Notes: Phone is Pixel 9 Pro, image is DNG (raw). Android version is 15 and LR mobile version is 10.2.1.   Thank you!

Hello,   As part of the recently released update, there are issues with synchronizing images that have AI Denoise applied.   When presets are applied to such a photo in the Android version, AI Denoise is automatically deactivated and there is no way to undo it, unless you apply AI Denoise again in the desktop version.   Hopefully this can be fixed, the issue doesn't occur on the web app.

Currently it is not possible to crate a smart album to show picturs without rating. Please add this possibility. Thx

Since I experienced a quick reaction and an actual fix deployed via these forums, I'll try one more.   I am observing that Lightroom panning is limited to a fixed framerate (potentially 60hz?), thus not utilizing high refresh rate monitors, in my case 120hz. This also causes significant issues when using G-Sync/FreeSync/VRR, causing stutters, cursor stutters, flickering, etc. This is due to the monitor trying to match the lower panning framerate that Lightroom has and constantly bouncing back to 120hz in my case. I believe this works correctly and full 120hz is utilized in Lightroom Classic, but not in Lightroom CC. I'd appreciate a comment whether this can easily be fixed. I suspect someone has been hardcoding things 🙂

When the NVIDIA Control Panel option "Dedicate to graphics tasks" is enabled, Lightroom (Cloud-Based) crashes upon opening a photo for editing. The application launches normally and the crash does not occur immediately. It happens only after entering the editing module. Disabling "Dedicate to graphics tasks" resolves the issue. This behavior is not documented in Adobe or NVIDIA support resources. Tested Environments: Lightroom v8.5 Windows 10 and Windows 11 Multiple NVIDIA graphics cards tested

I hate Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop!!!!!!!!!!! So  sick of these bugs and random  problems! The only reason I have not quit using is because I am so busy, I have not had the time to find an alternative and I am sure that is the case for MANY!!! New problem came up just an hour ago after editing a job for 18+ hours. I wanted to edit a photo from lightroom in photoshop. I selected file > Edit in Photoshop. Get a prompt " lightroom is not allowed to control photoshop. Make sure this is allowed in system prefferences > Security & Privacy > Automation." This does not exist in lightroom or photoshop system preferences!!! What  is your deal, Adobe???<Moderator: Edited for language>

All images are displayed and even downloaded in this weird wide aspect ratio. This makes any photo sharing via Lightrood Cloud unusable. Can't send photos to pick for my clients. Please fix this 🙏

Issue When I use the "Edit in Photoshop" command from Lightroom, Photoshop launches as expected, but then I receive the following error message: "Could not open Photoshop"The file never opens in Photoshop.

Creative Cloud is up to date and I’m properly signed in. I’ve logged out/in, reinstalled the apps, and restarted the computer. I’ve tested exporting images as TIFF/PSD from Lightroom and manually opening them in Photoshop – this works. I've checked that both apps have full file/document access in Windows privacy settings. I’ve tried changing the file format and target path in Lightroom’s external editing p
