Lightroom Classic

Hi!In LightRoom Development, does erasing the history and resetting the settings remove the denoising previously done?Merci

When I create a mask and pick "object," then identify the object using either the brush or rectangle, I get random blotches that have nothing to do with anything in the photo. Subject masking works fine. I've tried a lot of things already: updating LR to 15.0, reinstalling it, deleting the cache file, creating a new catalog and experimenting with a photo in that, resetting preferences, etc.  ChatGPT says I'm supposed to get a message that it's downloading AI files and I haven't seen that. Nor do I see the files in the Cache folder that it says should be there. 

Hello, I want to edit a photo from Lightroom Classic in Photoshop 2025, but I get an error message: Catch in IPhotoshopApplication, exception encountered: Invalid Offline Resources path. What is the solution for this? Lately I used CCleaner 7 to remove duplicate files, and I suspect that this may have caused the issue. When I tried to restore the removed files I got the message I'm not allowed to restore the files?

Hello,I’m experiencing a serious issue with missing GPS data in my main Lightroom Classic catalog.I have around 40,000 travel photos in my primary catalog, and I always try to fill in GPS coordinates for each image. At some point, I noticed that many photos had lost their GPS metadata. Unfortunately, I can’t determine exactly when this happened.My catalog contains various file types:DNG and HEIC files from iPhone, from which I usually copy coordinates to RAW files.DNG files from DJI drones, which originally contain GPS data.I discovered that:In some photos, the GPS data was completely erased from the files.In others, the GPS data still exists in the files, but Lightroom no longer displays it.When I use the “Read Metadata from File” command, the GPS data reappears — however, all tags and editing adjustments are lost as a result.Recently, I worked in a separate catalog where I filled in GPS data for a folder of images. Then I imported that catalog into my main one and continued editing a

This is a feature I used to use a lot within Lightroom 5, in the grid view, I used to select all the photos I wanted to apply it to, right click, Develop, then find my preset and apply it.This seems to either have moved or gone from Lightroom CC?Here's a screenshot of what I mean...If anyone can help I'd appreciate it.P.S I don't want to use sync as that's not exactly what I'm after which other people have suggested.

From time to time, inconsistently, LR Classic does not recognize new image files that have been added to a folder full of previously imported images.  Here is an example:1. Conduct a photo session and import images into LR.2. After culling, edit in PS, then in Evoto. 3. Export from Evoto INTO THE ORIGINATING FOLDER, which is the folder in step 1. 4. I can clearly see the new Evoto files in the folder.5. Attempt to Import the new file into the folder and LR does not see it.  Things I have tried that have not worked: 1. Export from Evoto again with a new name2. Exit LR and restart it3. Check security/privacy permissions on the folder4. Reboot my machine AGAIN, this is not a consistent problem. I can go for a good amount of time being able to import the Evoto files into the LR library. But then sometimes, like today, even after having imported other Evoto files into this LR folder, LR does not see a new Evoto file. Any ideas?  Alll I

What was once an easy process to import thousands of photos over a decade has now turned into confsuion, cokplexity and a waste of time. Adobe sucks, any suggestions for alt software?  Thank you.  Neal

LRC 14.5.1Mac Studio M2 MaxOS Sequoia 15.6.1 Sometimes, when I try to drag a shared folder into LR for import, I'm used to the raws being the selected files, however, recently I've been faced with a mixture of raws or jpgs in the sequence. E.g. importing 4 images which were all captured in jpg + raw, import selection may give me "DSC_1001.jpg, DSC_1002.NEF, DSC_1003.NEF, DSC_1004.jpg". I'm also having an issue when I drag in a shared folder, that has already been imported previously, now wanting to import jpgs from the previously imported sequence of raws imported. Example image below. 

This problem has reappeared in my printing process so I thought I would reach out to see if anyone can help/explain what is going on. To see the effect I am getting, I open a jpg image in ColorSync Utility, and select a Canon Pro Lustre profile.In the action drop down (Match/Apply/Assign) I choose 'Apply Profile' and the image looks fine.If I then select 'Assign Profile' the image comes out desaturated and flat.It's the latter effect that I am getting when printing from Lightroom and Photoshop.If I print from Canon's Professional Print Layout software, I get the 'Apply Profile' effect. The problem manifests itself originally with Fotospeed papers/profiles, but in the ColorSync utility it doesn't seem to matter which profile you test, the difference between Apply/Assign remains. Apart from 'use Canon's software', any thoughts on this?

I'm having a problem using catalog:withWriteAccessDo() in a function attached to an adjustment change observer. Here is a code fragment from my plugin local function resetMykey( observer ) local writeAccessStatus local catalog = LrApplication.activeCatalog() local photo = catalog:getTargetPhoto() if nil ~= photo and not catalog.hasWriteAccess then -- gets here writeAccessStatus = catalog:withWriteAccessDo( 'Reset mykey', function( context ) -- doesn't do this photo:setPropertyForPlugin( _PLUGIN, 'mykey', nil ) end, { timeout = 15 } ) -- and never gets here end end ... LrDevelopController.addAdjustmentChangeObserver( context, Observer, resetMykey ) When a setting is changed in the Develop modue, the function resetMykey executes as expected. It gets to the line with catalog:withWriteAccessDo, indicated by my comment gets here, but it doesn't execute the withWriteAccessDo function and therefore, doesn't execute the photo:se

 Not sure why this has suddenly started happening when I try to open Lightroom Classic. Even when all other apps/programmes have been shut down I keep getting this error message and it refuses to open. Running latest version of LRC on Win 10 Pro Any help gratefully received!

I utilize Virtual Copies non-stop with my sports photography.  I must have accidently changed a settings as I can not get them to appear now.  It looks like they are being created but then nothing appears when finished.   No stacking is turned onI have clicked on the filters Original Photo and Virtual Copy (see attached photos) and this doesn't seem to help in any compination I create.I closed and opened Lightroom ClassicI restarted my computerI restarted and reset my preferences. I am sure it is something simple, but I am stuff.   Please help if you can.

Hi,Is there a way to enter RGB (0-255) values into the Color Grading input directy, ratehr than using the "Color wheel"? is seems very inaccurate this way? It also doesnt display teh RGB value you have selected on teh wheel?

Hi!After reducing the noise in a photo,how do I revert to the original photo?Thanks

Hi all. I have developed images in LR Classic 15.0 and would like to share them with a few people. I'm aware they will need an HDR screen.It works in both Safari and Chrome if I export as a RAF (Fuji RAW) but the detail is quite poor. Maybe it's using an embedded JPG preview of some sort? So I'm trying to export as another file type.I've tried AVIF and JPG XL and with each file type I've checked the 'HDR Output' box in the export dialogue.No joy. Nothing I try shows the HDR image using ether Safari or Chrome.I saw some of Greg Benz stuff and tried ecpporting as DNG but that didn't work either.Any ideas? I can do it using Google Photos but it isn't nearly as nice an interface so I'd like to stick to Lightroom Web Gallery if I possibly can.Thanks in advance.

Bonjour,Après une sélection de photos(+-500), j'essaie d'utiliser le module Diaporama. Celui-ci bug plusieurs fois d'affilée. Depuis, toutes les photos de mon catalogue (+de 60000), non sélectionnées pour le diaporama, n'ont plus d'aperçu ! Je peux voir les photos dans le module Développement mais jamais plus de trois à la fois... alors que celles sélectionnées pour le diaporama sont toujours bien présentes. Que faire ?Quelqu'un a t il déjà été confronté à ce problème et comment le résoudre ?MERCI !Philippe Mac Mini 2022MacOS Sequoia 15.3.1LRC V14.2

Hallo und guten Morgen, ich benutze einen iMac und Lightroom Classic in der neuesten Version. Ich möchte gerne XMP-Dateien beim Import erzeugen und habe dies auch in den Katalogeinstellungen aktiviert. Das funktioniert aber nicht, die Metadaten werden immer in die Originaldateien geschrieben. Auch ein nachträgliches Schreiben der Metadaten in eine Datei funktioniert nicht. Die Schreib- und Leseberechtigungen sind gesetzt. Nun habe ich alle meine Fotodateien markiert und versucht, XMP-Dateien zu erzeugen. Bei einem Teil der Bilder hat das funktioniert, bei den meisten aber nicht. Großes Rätsel.Den ganzen Vorgang habe ich auch mit einem neuen Katalog vorgenommen, es funktioniert auch dort nicht.Kann jemand helfen ?Ich bedanke mich sehr und viele GrüßeBernd

Dear Sir, My name is Ronak, i am an wedding photographer from India.I have canon r6 mark ii camera, when i open m rawy photos in lightroom classic the library modules loads faster photos, but in the develop module it loads the photos too slow. I feel one photo will take 3-4 seconds to load. I have also changed my prefrences settings , increaed camera raw cache, optimize the catalogue but yet the same problem. Problem 2.... In develop module copying settings from previous photo and pasting on the next photo it takes 5-6 seconds which was not earlier. I have latest Lightroom Classic 15 version too.  Please do help me. I have done all the settings which i read in many post here. Still finding the same ptoblem as this eas stated in this post https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/photo-switching-performance-in-develop-mode-is-slow/td-p/14439290

Good morning, I am using an M4 MacBookPro with a Wacom One Tablet. At the moment, when I am brushing to add/subtract to a mask using the tablet and pen, if I then use the laptop's trackpad it alters the size of the brush.  Is there any way I can change the setting so that any movement on the trackpad moves the image - like in Photoshop when refining a mask? Many thanks in advance. Kind regards, Paul

Can anyone tell ne how to contact Adobe Tech Support (chat or email) regarding what appears to be a resonably common problem with V15, one that has made the app unusable for me?

LR Classic V 14.5.1 -  Win 11 24H2Import from catalog fails. I have done this many times in the past with no issues.Importing from a small catalog to a larger one fails on “scanning for masks”.The progress bar did not move for several hours - stalled just before the “C” of cancel.On cancelling the files had been imported.As a test (suggested by adobe agent), I created a new empty catalog and imported the same file. No issue, imported normally as in many times in the past.I had to re-import one folder from the smaller catalog (instead of the whole thing). Same issue. Same result.Neither catalog contains LR masks.It appears that the import is trying to scan the entire larger catalog for masks. Agent suggested that this is “normal”This is completely unnecessary and a gross waste of time.Both catalogs pass an “integrity check”."Expected result" is no need to scan entire catalog!"Richard

In all previous versions of LrC, double-clicking on a develop slider returned it to its global default value, which is zero for most sliders. In 15, it isn't working that way. It appears that it may be resetting to the value associated with the applied preset instead, which in about 99% of the cases where I do it means that it will have no effect at all. If this was an intentional change, I hate it, and the option to have it work the old way needs to be available in the Preferences menu. If it's a bug, please fix it.

i just did the most recent Lightroom classic update and it asked me to update my catalogs, which I did. However, I forgot to plug in my external hard drive before doing so. It updated the few folders I have on my computer hard drivejist fine, but now when I plug in my external hard drive it didn't seem to update these folders and I can't find them anywhere through Lightroom classic. The folders still exist on the external hard drive as before, but Lightroom won't recognize them.

Since the latest update to Lightroom Classic when browsing profiles in the Develop module, I have found that the image occasionally remains in  monochrome even if another profile is chosen and will not respond as usual when pressing the Alt key and adjusting the white and black points. The only remedy appears to be to select another image in the filmstrip and return to the image being processsed. Lightroom Classic version: 15.0 [ 202510171722-44f87028 ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: enOperating system: Windows 11 - Business EditionVersion: 11.0.22631Application architecture: x64System architecture: x64Logical processor count: 24Processor speed: 3.7GHzSqLite Version: 3.36.0CPU Utilisation: 1.0%Power Source: Plugged InBuilt-in memory: 32670.9 MBDedicated GPU memory used by Lightroom: 2485.3MB / 4004.0MB (62%)Real memory available to Lightroom: 32670.9 MBReal memory used by Lightroom: 5673.8 MB (17.3%)Virtual memory used by Lightroom: 18356.5 MBGDI objects count: 1950U

I have ~250GB of files in LR at the moment which I have (had) sucessfully synced to LRC running on my home desktop. The problem began when I noticed I was running out of space on the drive where the synced images were located. From Preferences I changed the location for the sync files to another drive with more space and when prompted, confirmed that I wanted to move all files to the new location. The move had not gotten very far when my machine black-screened and restarted (this happened a second time as well). There was no obvious way to restart the move and but I did have some success by pointed sync location first to the original drive and then to the new location. However, when LRC indicated that it was finished with the move I quickly found some problems.  First about 100GB had not been moved. Second, the file structure was not the same between the drives - on the original it was Lightroom Sync/Mobile Downloads.lrdata/various device subfolders and in the new location al
