Lightroom Classic

Lightroom Classic’s current watermarking workflow is primarily export-based. I would like the ability to configure and preview a watermark on the actual photograph while editing in the Develop module, before export.The desired workflow:Add a PNG watermark with transparency to a photo. Display the watermark directly over the photo while editing. Adjust position, size and opacity visually for that specific photo. Store those watermark settings as part of the photo’s Lightroom metadata/develop settings. Move to the next photo and adjust the watermark independently if necessary. When finished, batch-export the photographs, with Lightroom using the individual watermark position/size/opacity stored for each photo.

  Hi Adobe Community,I’m facing an issue with Lightroom Classic 15.5.1 where the AI models are not downloading.I keep getting the message:n“Some AI models are downloading. Please try again later.”The download remains stuck at 0% and never progresses. Could anyone advise how to resolve this issue? Is there a specific AI model/cache folder that can be safely reset, or is this a known issue with Lightroom Classic 15.5.1?I would appreciate any guidance.Thank you.

“Auto” button setting does not apply to all selected photos when “Sync / Auto” is enabled.

Die GPU erfüllt die Minimalanforderungen bei Weitem (VRAM 16GB), Betriebssystem WIN 11: Unter Bearbeiten, Voreinstellungen, Leistung wird die GPU nicht erkannt.

Bisherige Versuche: Alle Treiber der alten Grafikarte entfernt (Nvidia  RTX 3070), Treiberupdate über AMD Adrenalin Edition, Win11 Update, Neuinstallation von LRC mit Entfernen der alten Einstellung, Lightroom Classic CC 7 Preferences.agprefs: hatte ich alle auf true bzw “on” gesetzt; nach Neustart von LRC sind die Einstellungen wieder wie vorher: useAutoBahn = false, useGPUCompute = false, useGPUForExport = false, useGPUForPreviews = "off",  useGPUInLibrary = false,In AMD Adrenalin Edition erschein LRC als Anwendung, für die man Einstellungen vornehmen kann. 

Mouse wheel causes abnormal behavior in the main Lightroom Classic window

When I start Lightroom 6 (from year 2017) on my new computer it asks to sign up. I tried to use the scan and I use the: //to.adobe.######I get an e-mail with the verification code and enter it then password insertion and I am signed in. I accept the software licensing agreement.After that nothing happens.When I start Lightroom again, it asks to sign up again.... I never get out of this loop!Is there an alternative way to get Lightroom working again?

Secondary-window monitor selection is not retained when using more than two monitors. After some time of usage, when lightroom lost and get focus, the second monitor switch to the smalest screen and ignore the setting. You’ve to go in setting change it and replace it to the good screen.

I would like to compile a plugin in order to deliver it without the source code. There are two versions of the lua compiler with the sdk: one for windows and one for mac. I do not know how to proceed, my plugin has many files which generates tables of functions I do import. An example would be: --<file1.lua>functions={}functions.one=function (...<function definition>...functions.two=function (...<function definition>...return functions--<main.lua>local functions=requiere "file1"... 1. How do I compile both files and make main.luac  import the functions of the compiled file1.luac ?  2. If I compile it in windows, will the bytecode work in mac or do I need to make bytecodes for each platform? 3. Is there any other way to deliver the code? I know there are some codes for reversing the luac to lua. Regards, Daniel

On Windows 11 using Lightroom Classic I select a set of photos and export as a catalog. I close LR, double click the newly exported catalog to open it, and LR immediately tells me that the catalog is corrupt. Every single time. All the catalogs are stored in my internal C: drive and all my photos are on an internal E: driveMod: Not a valid feature request - moving to Questions. 

I have been playing around with edge and feather and they help some. I surprised at how poorly LR does at masking period. You can see the clearly lighter areas between the trees that it missed. Compared to other tools this is a poor result. Also, what is the deal with the long delay in switching between images now. You click the thumbnail and 20 seconds later it is displayed. 

Meu pc é está (AMD Ryzen 9 9900X de 12 núcleos) e 64 GB de RAM, além de um SSD NVMe e uma placa NVIDIA dedicada. Uma máquina dessas deveria exportar fotos voando, mas o lightroom não usa todo o potencial da maquina. Leva, aproximandamente, 15 minutos para exportar 1000 fotos, o processado não passada de 15% de uso. Já fiz todos os testes e nada mudou isso. ALGUÉM PODE AJUDAR?

HiMap module is not showing the map. (latest version LRC 15.5.1 release, camera raw 18.5.1) and I’m on Windows 11, with a triple 2k screens set-up. Everything else is working fine execpt for the Map screen.I already tried a few trick that I found on the internet, like relaunching Lightroom while being in the Library module instead of the Map module. I also tried delogging from Creative Cloud et relloging but the map still doesn’t show. My internet is working fine. Any idea what the problem could be and what should I do ? i use to have the map but do not anymore but I don’t realy know since when. ThanksBeatrice

Startar Lrc. Kommer upp Analyserar foton i övre vänstra hörnet Efter ca 10 sekunder avslutas Lrc utan felmeddelanden. Testat ca 20 ggr och samma sak händer varje gång. Startat om PC flertal ggr. Om jag byter flik till Framkalla så stoppas inte Lrc, bara om jag befinner mig i Bibioteksmodulen.Felet uppstod efter att jag startat ‘ta bort dubbletter’ som jag sen pausade.Har senaste versionen av Lrc. 

SummaryI am a professional photographer and use Lightroom Classic as my primary production software.On a high-end mobile workstation, Lightroom Classic becomes progressively slower within approximately 5 minutes of editing.During normal editing, dedicated GPU memory rapidly increases until almost the entire 8 GB VRAM of the NVIDIA RTX 4070 Laptop GPU is occupied. Once this happens, Lightroom becomes increasingly sluggish and eventually the entire Windows desktop (including mouse movement) becomes noticeably stuttery.The problem has existed since the laptop was purchased in early 2025.Despite extensive troubleshooting together with Lenovo support and the computer manufacturer, the problem has never been resolved.HardwareLaptopLenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 7CPUIntel Core UltraGPUNVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU (8 GB VRAM)Intel Arc integrated GPURAM64 GBStorageNVMe SSDOperating SystemWindows 11 Pro (fully updated)CameraNikon Z8Compressed NEF RAW filesTypical file size: 30–40 MBLightroom Versi

Il Lr classic, for some months, some images do not sync completely.  They remain in a list viewable at “Web”.  It appears random, as similar images sync normaly.  All images are in one catalog only. on an external SSD.

people detection does not work in lightroom classic

I have multiple photos that are showing multiple recognized / named faces.For some photos I want to remove all of the named faces (mostly group photos, keeping the faces with single persons etc).I select each visible face rectangle in turn and click on the X in the corner and the face rectangle gets removed and the matching keyword is also removed from the keyword panel. This works until I get to the very last face on the photo, this last face rectangle goes away but the face keyword stays undeleted in the keywords panel, I need to manually delete the last keyword in the keywords panel. Why would it work for all the previous deletions but not the last one? I had my keywords panel closed before I realized why I seemed to keep missing removing these keywords on the photos when reviewing them later. I restarted Lightroom & PC and tried it with a new catalog with same issue in both.Using LrC 15.5.1 on Win11

I am working on a plugin that uses a machine vision to identify certain types of objects in a scene, similar to how Select Subject, Select Sky, Select People, works. I don’t have a lot of experience interfacing with Lightroom Classic’s masking system and I am looking for guidance on things like how best to access the base image to read from after cropping, or rotating, or heal/remove has been applied. Or if there is a better way that Lightroom uses natively that I can hook into.
