How is Canon Highlight Tone Priority handled by Lightroom Develop?

I have a question about the processing of Canon RAW files that were shot with Highlight Tone Priority (HTP) enabled. These images are underexposed by one stop at capture time by lowering the ISO. For example, if you shoot at 1/2000, f/8, ISO 400, the actual exposure is done at 1/2000, f/8, ISO 200 and the file is tagged as having HTP enabled. When you bring such a file into Canon’s DPP software, it recognizes the HTP flag, and automatically applies a special tone curve which will brighten the shadows and midtowns by one stop, but will attenuate the effect on the highlights. My understanding is that Lightroom Develop will recognize the HTP flag, but will simply brighten the entire image by one stop without making any special accommodations for the highlights. This is also the behavior I see when testing this out on my own. However, I continue to see folks claiming that Lightroom Develop will behave exactly like DPP on RAW files shot with HTP. Can someone give a definitive answe

Web module SFTP upload fails because of wrong initial directory passed to cURL

LR Classic 15.5, Windows 11 ProTrying to connect to an SFTP server, either to browse for a folder in the “Configure FTP Transfer” dialog, or to upload a project, fails with the error:“Cannot browse the FTP server, because an unknown error occurred. (CURLE_SSH)”On the SFTP server side, the error is:Aug 25 20:57:39 pi1 sftp-server[811]: error: process_read: read "/home/jsmith": Is a directorywhere “jsmith” is the user connecting to the server. So the error is trying to read the user home directory. For a while cURL accepted the “/~” path for the user home directory, but since 2023 this syntax is no longer accepted, see:https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/17534It is necessary to terminate all directory references with an ending slash, i.e. “/~/” or (79) Error in the SSH layer (CURLE_SSH) is raised.I can replicate the same error easily from the command line:curl --k sftp://<sftp_server>/~ --user "<user>:<password>”triggers the same errorcurl --k sftp://<sftp_server&gt

Pressing {R} in Library, initates the ZOOM tool in develop, and NOT the crop tool.

In library, I hit R to open crop tool in Develop. But this opens crop overlay, with the Zoom tool, not the crop tool. Hitting R again (closes crop ), then R again, will open crop overlay with the crop tool.The in the Right-hand panel the Crop section is greyed out too.

P: Color profile missing after merging Apple ProRaw images into a panorama

crwhite75Inspiring

Bug Reports

Apple ProRaw images taken in Apple's camera app on my iPhone 14 Pro generally work well in LrC these days, which is great. In LrC I often use the "Apple ProRaw" profile.   When I perform a panorama merge of these images, however, LrC reports that the resulting .dng file is using the profile "Apple Embedded Color Profile" but shows an exclamation mark: "Profile missing." See attached screenshots.   I wonder if this is an inadvertent result of LrC's rule that only Apple ProRaw files have the option of the LrC ProRaw profile, and that the merged file is not recognized by LrC as a ProRaw file. Can this please be improved, or is there a workaround?   Thanks, Wallace

P: Show Flags & Ratings in Full Screen ModeOpen for Voting

I’d like the option to display flags (Pick/Reject) and star ratings while using Full Screen / Lights Out mode in Lightroom Classic.   Right now, pressing F disables the "I" key info overlay, which prevents seeing critical culling information while viewing images distraction-free.   Suggested enhancement: Allow the "I" key (or a preference toggle) to show flags and star ratings in Full Screen mode, similar to how it works in Loupe view.   This would significantly improve culling and review workflows by combining a clean viewing experience with essential rating visibility.

P: needs a Queue Management System i.e. exporting photosOpen for Voting

Problem:   When I export more than 11 photos, my computer will be slowed down significantly. This might not be a problem, when I export just one folder, but in order to separate photos from an event of different people, I need to start several export processes and also have to wait for them to finish. Additionally, I cannot work on anything else. I usually have a lot of photos around 20.000 to 60.000 in one catalog. They are distributed/organized in several folder by date and by events. My usual process is to import all my photos, sort them, discard them, edit every photo, export those in different folders. An export of around 1000 photos (32MP) can take around 1/2 hour up to 1 hour easily. I want my computer to work on them, when I don't use it.   I have a decent computer (AMD Threadripper 24 cores, 64GB RAM, NVMe SSD 2T, NVIDIA Geforce RTX 2060 Super), which needs to work on 45MP Photos in RAW.   What I need and probably other users as well: I need to queue an export

P: Logic inside of Lightroom “auto” to disable vibrance and saturationOpen for Voting

Why don't you help us out and incorporate logic inside of Lightroom “auto” to disable vibrance and saturation adjustment on profiles other than your native profiles like Adobe Color and Adobe Standard. The vibrance and saturation adjustment for “auto” was designed to work only with the color matrices of your native profiles. This may not seem like a big deal to you but you try having to click a preset that sets vibrance and saturation to 0 1500 times. No this is not something I do this is something every single one of your users does that's using a camera matching profile or calibrated profile other than your native profiles. Over and over and over and over and over and over again thousands of times. Thank you!

P: Allow a much larger Filmstrip in Develop for dual-monitor workflowsOpen for Voting

I use Lightroom Classic for high-volume professional photography and regularly cull several thousand images in a session.My workflow is to remain in the Develop module with the Crop tool permanently active. I move rapidly through images using the Filmstrip, adjusting the crop where required before moving immediately to the next image.I use Lightroom's Secondary Display on a calibrated 27" monitor, which displays the current image full-screen. This means the large central image area in Develop on my MacBook is largely redundant, what I actually need on the primary display is the Develop controls and a much larger thumbnail Filmstrip.Currently the Filmstrip can only be dragged upwards to a fairly restrictive maximum height.It would be extremely useful if Lightroom allowed the Filmstrip to be resized much further, or offered a Develop workspace consisting primarily of a large thumbnail browser plus Develop controls when Secondary Display is active.As a real-world example, my normal workfl

LR classic 14.4 extremly slow since last update

Dear Adobe Team, despite having followed some recent tipps (like deleting preferences in the library, deleting cache, changing the performance settings, deactivating modules etc.) my Lightroom Classic V14.4 is working very very slowly in the developer module: going to the next image is lacking performance and is delayed, copying the image settings to the clipboard is delayed 2-3 seconds... All this happened directly after updating from the previous version befor 14.4.My hardware was not changed in between, catalog was/is the same etc. Working on a Mac Studio M1 with 64GB Ram OS Sequioa 15.5, just one display.LR classic 14.4 It would be super nice if there would be a more helpful tipp or update to get back to the previous performance. Best regards Jan

Lightroom auto settings not being applied to all selected photos.

When selecting multiple photos and applying auto settings (Devleop Settings > Auto Settings), only a small portion of the photos have auto settings applied. This can be anywhre between 50 and 700 photos. There seems to be no logic to how many photos correctly have auto settings applied. It seems to work for more photos when selecting in the Library tab as opposed to selecting in the Develop tab.    Running Windows 10 on Lightroom 13.2. This has been happening for a couple years now.    Same as post: https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/auto-adjust-settings-does-not-apply-to-all-the-selected-images/td-p/13511661
