Lightroom Classic

Hi, Lightroom is deleting my 1:1 previews after a few days even though I have preferences set to keep them for 30 days.  Any ideas or fixes?  Maybe a cache limit? ThanksJohn

I would like to report a problem/bug in the new update, Lightroom Classic version 14.4. I am experiencing frequent freezes in the Develop module when I press the “next photo” key. This issue occurs when I copy settings from one image and then quickly paste them to the next image using keyboard shortcuts in rapid succession. I noticed that this problem started after installing the latest update.

Hi,I am using LightRoom classic on iMac and now days, it's very slow. EVen i restart my system, don't help.I saw, memory uses is 5.16GB and my cache preview is only 12GB.

Using LR Classic 14.4 on Windows 10 I can no longer select images with specific ratings Eg 3 star although if I use Filter rated it will select all rated images.

The Metadata > Import Keywords command chokes on keyword names containing 4-byte UTF-8 characters. The Any Tag plugin exports and imports them correctly, confirming the problem is in the Import Keywords command. See here for the original use-case: https://www.lightroomqueen.com/community/threads/problem-with-importing-kewords.53113/   To reproduce on LR 14.4 / Mac OS 15.5:   1. Do Create Keyword Tag, and copy/paste this name for the keyword: flag 🏁 Observe that it appears in the Keyword List:   2. Do Metadata > Export Keywords > Include Keyword Tag Options and then > Exclude Keyword Tag Options, creating "Lightroom Keywords.csv" and "Lightroom Keywords.txt".   3. Open the .csv and .txt files in a UTF-8 capable app, e.g. Textedit (Mac) or Notepad (Win). Observe that the flag symbol is present in both: 4. In LR's Keyword List panel, delete the keyword created in step 1.   5. Do Metadata > Import Keywords, select "Lightroom Keywords.csv", a

I have LR 6.8 standalone on a Windows 10 64 bit computer. The Minimize, Restore Down/Maximum and Close Button buttons on the upper right of the program do not show.  I have to go to the task bar to minimize or close the program.  Also, I have two monitors and I cannot drag it from monitor 1 to monitor 2.  I have uninstalled LR and reinstalled it which didn't fix the problem These buttons are standard buttons for all window programs, they work for all of my other programs.  I had this problem with an earlier update. They mysteriously came back.  Every update since then I have had the same problem as the one I'm having now. This is what is missing Thank you,John Baesemann

dear community, i am a long time user of lightroom, since its enception and photoshop user. however i have been using a 3060ti with 0 issues for about two years, i have been able to export while applying settings to the next batch of images including ai with 0 issues, using a 14700k and nvidia studio drivers. i recently updated to a 5060 ti 16gb and there are several issues. 1 in prefs it says full acceleration is not recognised, i so i manually select it.2 when exporting as above and trying to multi task, either the batch apply settings stops or and the export stops using the graphics card for exports as i have been doing previously. ive tested the graphics card, with studio and game drivers in games and other tests zero issues but in lightroom classic, its very odd and wont do it in theory the card is 40% faster than the 3060ti but Im not getting that from use.  so question is either its an nvidia driver issue or adobe have not updated lightroom classic to fu

I've been making printer profiles for years using iMatch, and have had no problems with LR Classic until now. At the moment when I create a template and go to choose a profile to put in it, I either get 'managed by printer' or one or two old profiles even of different printers. After many hours of playing about (including trashing Prefs) the only way I can get the correct profile (from the sys32/spool/drivers/color windows folder) to register in LR is to edit the printer template (in the LR Settings folder) manually and delete the autoincluded profile and substitute the new one, saving the altered template. That seems to work and LR shows the new profile after closing and reopening. The one thing I must NOT do is to click on OTHER in the LR profiles list - that just locks LR solid, and the only way out is to use Task Manager to exit LR, reboot and start again!! I'm not the only one to find this - I read another post where clicking on Other did the same thing. So what is the proble

Hola.  Porque en mi version de Ligthroom Classic no me aparece el boton de quitar ruido con IA?Gracias por las respuestas!!

My Smart Previews are not loading when I open a folder in which my originals are stored in an external hard drive that is off-line. In each of two folders I've opened, a handful of Previews load, but that's it.I appreciate any help you can offer.David

Hi folks need some help. My Lightroom Classic on Windows 10 is not opening since it updated to V14.4. It sticks at the opening "reading preferences" screen. I've done the usual shutdown reboot etc. The online suggestion is to reset Lightroom preferences using the Shift + Option (macOS) or Shift + Alt (Windows) keys. My questions is   - Does a reset delete all my personal custom Develop and Print setups? Thanks 

I just updated the lasted to LRC this weekend and now when I try to export a photo for a customer to my externals drrivee (84% available space)  I get this error message.  "there was a error writing the file (1)"   what the heck is going on?   What are my options to fix this?   Thank You!

Hi, When attempting to export files from LR classic (which I have done successfully for a long time), I'm now getting an error message: "Unable to export.  Failed to open Zerene Stacker, error code+ 512".  I have a Mac Studio M1 Max running Sequoia 15.5. When restarting LR and Zerene  and  restarting the machine didn't fix the problem, I have taken the following steps:  re-downloaded and reinstalled the latest Mac Silicon version of Zerene, uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of LR classic. Then opened Zerene, then options-plugins--LR.  Then "create plugin in the standard location". No luck.    This problem seems related to a problem that was causing my internal hard drive to fill up:  the exported files didn't leave Application Support after they were sent to Zerene.  Apple Support told me to go to the LR folder inside of the Adobe folder in Application Support and delete the exported image files tha

Hi there! Recently my Lightroom Classic app has stopped working. I can't get it to open past the splash screen. I've tried reinstalling it, installing older versions (13.0.2, 13.0, 12.5.1), comletely uninstalling/removing all adobe products and files from my computer, reinstalling MacOS, deleting preferences, changing permissions of different folders and files, a clean Lightroom Install as detailed by Rikk Flohr in other community posts I read, etc. and the issue remains. I spoke with Adobe support and they had me see if I could open Lightroom Classic using another user account on the same computer, which did work successfully, and I was even able to open my catalog on that other user account so I know the catalog is fine, but I of course want to get it working on my normal admin user account. I can't seem to get in touch with any Adobe support anymore (long wait times for chat, and when someone does join, they immeditely leave the conversation without a word being said between us.) I'

Lightroom Classic is very sluggish when I create and move folders, image files, and images between collections. I'll move an image from one collection to another, and nothing happens—the image stays in the original collection. The same happens when I create a folder. Nothing happens, but after a period of time, the folder will appear. I don't know what's going on. It was working fine a few days ago, but yesterday and today it's not. I attached my system info, but I've not changed anything with my system. I did have a problem with Lightroom crashing and becoming unresponsive. I reset my Lightroom preferences and optimized my catalog, which seems to have fixed the crashing issue, but now I have this problem.

I have been a subscriber to the Lightroom/Photoshop package for over 6 years. I currently use it on two computers, a Mac Mini 2023 and for a little over 6 months, on a Macbook Pro 2019, Core I9 with 16GB of RAM. On this Macbook Pro 2019, Core I9 with 16GB of RAM, it is IMPOSSIBLE to use Lightroom currently.Over 1400% CPU usage sometimes, never less than 200% !!!!(see image below) I had an old Macbook Pro 2014, I7 with 16GB of RAM. Last year, with the latest versions of Lightroom, the performance was terrible, but it worked bravely. Due to lack of money (Brazilian photographer, poor South American!), I bought a Macbook Pro 2019, Core I9 with 16GB of RAM. The performance is 1000x worse! This 2019 model must be Apple's biggest failure! Does anyone have any ideas to improve this performance? See below my System Info: Lightroom Classic version: 14.0.1 [ 202410161356-30922cfc ] License: Creative Cloud Language setting: en-BR Operating system: Mac OS 15 Vers

HalloIch habe das Foto Abo welches ich kündigen möchte.Gibt es eine weitere mögliche Nutzung von Lightroom Classic?Für die Kündigung der Creativ Cloud gibt es ja Beschreibungen, aber keinen Hinweis auf das Foto AboGruß Hans

When I try to use the denoise feature, the window pops up like it's going to work. The window is blank but has the option to press denoise. Then, another window pops up saying "denoise was not applied" under enhance errors. The image format is sony ARW. I've researched and everything that i've found says that it will work. 

Is there an Upper Limit to how many photos the Lightroom catalogue can handle?   I am having terrible performance issues. I can take a lot of photos in a day. 5000 plus. Lightroom just has a horrible time handling that many photos. You can't scroll in Library mode, it jerks and jumps around. Adding keywords is so slow.   I have watched just about every video and visited every page looking to optimise performance and I just get any work done without LRc slowing down and acting like something is wrong.   I've tested hardware, loaded all of the latest drivers, nothing improves the situation.    For example in Library mode, you try to scroll, the thumbnails distort and it takes thirty seconds for the screen to redraw. But even then, all of the infromation above the thumbnail isn't showing e.g. filename.   Thumbnails are SO slow to load. Ive tried creating differnt previews 1:1, smart, nothing works.   The catalogue is sitting on an internal NVME drive whi

Since LrC was updated to 14.4 (Windows 10) it is crashing when the right hand side scrollbar in the Print Module is used. It shows a white on black popup with Page 1 of 1 and then goes into "not responding".  Nothing else has changed on the PC.      

I am trying to import catalog A into catalog B, my main catalog, which is huge, but the process is omitting some of the images from A since they already exist in B.I want to force Lightroom to import them even though they already exist in B.  Renaming doesn't seem to help.  Does anyone know how to do this. (Why do I want to import pictures already in the destination catalog?  I want to preserve their edits.  But, more important, I just want to avoid the big job of hunting down all the pictures on the destination catalog and moving them to the folders I want them to be in.) Thanks allDavid

Hi, using LRC (latest version) stopped showing star & flag ratings in survey mode, all of the sudden, yesterday it worked. At the same time stars disappeared from my grid-veiw, but I managed to fix it from settings menu.  Not working when survey on secondary display, neither on main display.Any way to fix that? Screenshot attachedthank you
