Bug Reports

When creating a new Lightroom classic catalog the images do not preview. I have to quit Lightroom altogether, then reopen the catalog in order to see them. This has been going on for months.

HDR editing not available on my Google Pixel 9 Pro XL with LR Version 11.3.3.When I try swithing to hdr editing mode, lightroom just says my “device is not supported”, eventhough pixel 9 pro is listed as a supported device. Interestingly the pixel 9 pro xl is not listed specifically, but why would there be any difference between pixel 9 pro and pixel 9 pro xl?It did work previously, then my phone got replaced through warranty and now it does not work anymore. Taking HDR photos and editing them in other apps does work perfectly fine.Really annoying and absolutely ridiculous that Lightroom has such issues with this feature, where other apps work just fine.

Arrowing through a number of images suddenly this image was overlayed with the previous one. Restarting Lightroom Desktop 9.3 on my MacBook Pro M2 Pro did not fix this. I was able to use the Versions tab to revert the image. Then I started arrowing through again and a minute later the same thing happened to a different image. At the time I wasn’t processing anything heavy on my MacBook, but the fan was running pretty fast so something was going on. A few minutes later and I now can’t duplicate the issue.  

Over the past 3 days, lightroom mobile does not work, period. It won't add photos from my photos app, and any photos that are in there are unable to be edited. All I get is the spinning wheel.It also will not export any photos. Basically it is unusable. I am using the latest Android version, on a pixel 10 pro XL.Look forward to hearing feedback and how the issue can be rectified 

Steps to Recreate:     Select a Fish Eye Image  Apply Lens Profile  Turn Distortion control to +100  Select a Linear Gradient and draw on the image (it is easy to see if you hold down shift to ensure horizontal)  With Mask selected, grab either the upper or lower handle and increase or decrease the size of the gradient area  Note: There is a subtle rotation of the gradient clockwise or counterclockwise depending upon the direction of the drag.  Note: the upper or lower boundary of the gradient becomes discontinuousTested Win 10 (nVidia GTX 970 576.2 (5/19/2025)Make a linear gradient then resize it by a good amount. While you're doing so, you'll notice the whole gradient subtly starts to rotate. I don't think this happened before the recent LR update, but I could be wrong.   Running on Windows 11.   Editing to add info: This happens with all images when lens corrections are enabled with a profile selected, assuming the profile has

In Lightroom mobile using the “add border and share feature” using the eyedropper to sample a color or using any of the preset colors - upon export a massive gamma shift and color shift is applied to only the border lightening it and desaturating it. I have tried many potential fixes and nothing works. This appears to be a color pipeline issue or something clashing with iOS? I’m not sure. But I am essentially unable to create colored borders that match the image now. There are no deeper export settings available to tweak in the “add border and share” dialog box. attached image: on the left is a dark red border applied > right is how it exports turning it light pink 

Using the Lightroom iOS app on an M4 iPad Pro. My device updated to Lightroom v11.3.2 today, since the new update the enter/return key no longer works with keyboard shortcuts. For example when copying develop settings. “Cmd+v” works to copy the settings, but enter/return no longer confirms the copied settings and doesn’t close the copy panel. The recent update says it has “improved keyboard shortcuts” but they must have introduced a bug which removed the return key’s function. 

I tried to export my photos from Lightroom, but I keep getting message "Some images were exported with outdated AI Settings". I updated the AI Settings from Photo, and then updated the AI Settings as what instructed from the forum I saw. But still error. I tried to to it on my phone, same image, no problem at all. But this message only appears when I export it on my laptop. Version of the app : Lightroom 9.0 Platform and OS version : Apple M1 Pro, Tahoe 26.1 Basic steps to reproduce the problem : Exporting the photo from PC, then Error Message Appeared, then updated the AI Settings Expected result and actual result : After updating AI Settings, same error message still appears

With the April 2026 version of Lightroom (Assisted Culling Improvements), I found that once you enable stacking by time, the stacked photos cannot be unstacked. I never actually created any stacks; it created them automagically and now all my photos in stacks are hidden and cannot be opened, even though both Time and Visual Similarity are unchecked. This is using Mac version 9.3.

At some point over the past few months, Lightroom updated the Filename options on export and completely broke how sequential filenaming worked. I’ve noticed each of the following behavior changes.In 2025 and Prior:When exporting a sufficient number of photos at once, Lr would automatically add leading zeros. (EXAMPLE: If exporting at least 10 photos, the first photos would sequence as 01, 02, 03, etc., if exporting at least 100, the first photos would sequence as 001, 002, 003, etc.) When executing multiple exports at different times, Lr would recall the previously used filename AND remember what the last used sequence number was (EXAMPLE: After exporting 15 photos with the Custom Name - Sequence defined as “PhotoName” with a starting number of “1,” if another export was later begun, the options would be preloaded with “PhotoName” still in the Custom Name field and the starting number would update to “16.”Now, when using Lightroom, both of these behaviors are completely broken.No matte

You can no longer tab between text fields when updating the Info fields or adding keywords. You have to manually select the text box and then type.

Lightroom Version 7.0 Operating System - macOS 14 Sonoma I was excited to learn that LR had the ability to work on local drives. I have used Bridge for the last several years after getting frustrated with Classic's performance. I like what I see in the new LR and am giving it a try. I have run into a problem that I am not able to delete any photos in LR that reside in folders on my Synology NAS drive. After asking if I want to move the photo to the trash I get a response saying "This file cannot be moved to the trash. Please try deleting directly from the disk." I have the gone into my Synology settings and I cannot find anything there that would cause this response. I have no issues deleting photos when in Bridge.  I have administer rights on the NAS drive as well as read/write privileges.  Photos residing on the internal SSD or attached drives delete just fine.  I also can copy files into NAS folders, Move photos from one folder to another on the NAS.  I hav

The recommended presets aren't loading anymore; it says they're being analyzed, but nothing happens. It used to work before—how can I fix this? 

After updating Lightroom to the latest version (with the improved crop tool), an issue appered:When I copy settings from another photo, including the crop, and paste them onto my photo, and then open the Crop tool, the photo crop disappears. Pressing CTRL+Z returns back the crop I had.  

Hallo Adobe-Team, ich nutze die Lightroom App auf meinem Handy. Gestern hat mein Samsung S23 ein Update durchgeführt (UI-Version 8). Sobald ich die App öffne, wird mein Bild zuerst normal angezeigt, nach kürzester Zeit wird es abgedunkelt. Nach eigener Recherche liegt es am Display vom Handy. Ich habe alles versucht um die Grundeinstellung zu ändern, jedoch ohne Erfolg. Wenn ich das Foto exportiere oder einen Screenshot erstelle, wird das Bild mit der richtigen Belichtung dargestellt. Eine Bearbeitung in der App ist nicht mehr möglich. Ich muss zur Überprüfung das Bild jedes mal exportieren. Können Sie mir hier weiterhelfen?  Viele Grüße,Dominik Reigl

Does anyone have issues with the following example...  I'm editing photos on Lightroom, listening to podcasts or music on my iPhone with AirPods. The AirPods keep connecting to Mac, pausing my audio, beacuse of Lightroom. I have no clue why. No other app does this. But Lightroom effectively commands audio device despite no actual sounds.

I have and issue that if I go into the people view, select a person and switch on segmentation by years. If I do this than there are multiple groups for any given year. E.g. I see 5 sections for the year 2018 with different phots in them. Also these segments are not in order but random. E.g. 2017, 2015, 2018, 2017, 2018, 2015Actually I noticed another issue I noticed is that changing ‚sort by‘ has no effect at all. Changing eg. from capture date to import date does not change the order at all.My guess is that there is generally something wrong with sorting in people view.Happens on iPad and iPhone Also in the all photos view the segmentation by year works fine, seems to be a problem of the people view

I just did an update with my Lightroom Lr (cloud) and now I am having trouble with my exports. I want to set a custom name and have the number sequence after one and other by using "export with previous settings" but its not working I don't know where they are going. I have to do a reset with every image I export. Please help

“Free space” is “Espace libre” in French. So on the screenshot, the good word is “libre(s)” and not “gratuit(s)”. “Gratuit” in this case is a non sense (it mean it cost 0$).

Description of Issue The Expected Result: In previous versions of Lightroom Cloud, when working in Edit mode, I was able to Tab from one edit setting field to the next; e.g. from Exposure to Contrast to Highlights, etc. I was also able to Shift-Tab to go back up the settings list. The Actual Result: This is no longer available. Now, selecting Tab ‘enters’ the value (like selecting ‘Return’). The second Tab closes the panel and a third Tab re-opens the panel. Lightroom Desktop Version Number: v9.2 20260217-0314 dfbaf86 Build OS Version Number: 26.1 on a 15” M4 MacBook Air 16GB ram Step-by-step Reproduction Instructions: see aboveI realize this may not be a “bug” but a known change in code. If that’s the case, please re-instate the former use of Tab / Shift Tab as it was far more helpful and powerful than wasting it on opening an closing panels.

ANROID LIGHTOOM MOBILE: Can't Post Photos Exported from LR Mobile to Instagram   Has anyone else had issues posting exported photos from Lightroom Mobile (Android) to Instagram? I have a Samsung S24 Ultra and have not been able to share edited images to Instagram since I got my phone a month ago or so. My work around has been to post edited photos to Facebook which works, then save that file back to my phone from Facebook, then upload that to Instagram.   I get a "Photo can't be posted" error every time regardless if I'm on cell or Wi-Fi.

When I use the “Photo Renaming” function in Lightroom 9.2 (this actually happened in the previous release as well) LR would struggle with file extensions.For example: If I select .DNG and its corresponding .JPG and then rename them using “YY-MM FILENAME” it would show in the Preview ““YY-MM FILENAME.DNG”. However when executed it would update the DNG to “YY-MM FILENAME.DNG” while the JPG would be named “YY-MM FILENAME-2.JPG”. This happens consistently when selecting multiple photos with identical filenames but separate file extensions, no matter if stored in the Adobe Cloud or locally. This would not happen in LrC 15.2!

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
