Lightroom Classic

When I import images from my Hasselblad CFV-50C digital back red and green dots show up throughout the image. When I import the same images into the Hasselblad Phocus program (Simular to Lr) the dots do not show up. Any ideas on what me be happening, is there a setting in Lr that I need to adjust when importing? Thanks for your help.John

I have been using my own self made user presets for the past year and a half on multiple catalogs on two different hard drives. Today, with both hard drives plugged in, I opened a catalog and all of my downloaded presetes as well as my user presets were missing. I have been able to re add my downloaded presets but cannot figure out how to restore my user presets i made. Can anyone please give me some help with this?

Help! LrC is unusable.After updating to v15.0 LrC goes to a popup requiring catalog upgrade.Selecting "Upgrade," the Mac works a bit, then the computer crashes and restarts. In the old libraries folder, I have the attempts to create the library backup of different sizes, but apparently none complete. They are smaller than my current but outdated catalog. I saw the a for PC, but I'm not sure I have Visual C++ or whatever that is. A search for "MSVCP140.dll" in Finder finds nothing. I do have MS Office if that's relevant. After a few days, I got the update for LrC to 15.0.1. Updated, then, after opening and attempting to upgrade the catalog, the app crashes or the computer crashes. iMac 2019mac OS 15.1.1 (24B91) Please help! I have photo work that's very late.

I'm using Lightroom Classic V15.01 on macOS/Mac Studio, and I'm having trouble loading PSD files that contain operations using the Frame tool. A message tells me the files contain errors. However, other PSD files that don't use the Frame tool are importable into Lightroom Classic.  

Hi there, I'm not sure if this is a bug or I'm misunderstanding these functions. I manage a very large LRC library for a holiday tour company which takes images of clients during their tours. The library is currently 81748 images in size. In order to manage this, I have a large number of keywords, as well as smart collections, to organise and search for specific kinds of images. The images are all tagged with a trip code based on what tour it is from. This is made up of a three letter code such as "ABY", a letter which designates what year it is from, and a number which designates what week of the year. A full trip code looks something like ABYB22. The codes are distinct enough that theres no overlapping in terms of keywording. I have a series of smart collections set up to collect the best images from each tour - each collection is set to gather all the images with a given tour code ("CAL") and which are 5* rated. I've attached a screenshot of the smart collection settings.

Bonjour à tous,Je suis abonné à Adobe Creative Cloud avec Lightroom et je rencontre un gros problème bloquant.Mon ordinateur (un Mac de 10 ans) est limité à macOS Catalina (10.15). Or, Lightroom Classic 11 est la dernière version compatible avec Catalina.Malheureusement, cette version n’est plus proposée dans l’application Creative Cloud : je n’ai accès qu’à la version 14 (qui n’est pas installable sur Catalina).J’ai contacté le support Adobe à plusieurs reprises, mais la seule réponse est que Lightroom 11 n’est “plus supporté” et qu’aucun installeur ne peut être fourni. On me conseille d’upgrader mon système… ce qui est impossible sur mon matériel.Résultat : je paie un abonnement que je ne peux pas utiliser, puisque je ne peux ni ouvrir mon catalogue en v11, ni installer la version actuelle.Ma question :Est-ce que quelqu’un dans la communauté a déjà réussi à obtenir :l’installeur hors-ligne officiel de Lightroom Classic 11 pour macOS,ou une ancienne version du client Creative Cloud qu

When Lightroom classic(15.1) starts (windows 11) I get one of two messages:No Photo Selected orNo Photos in Selected Folder.It then loads the last photo I was lookiing at. Any thoughts. Thanks 

I naturally chose to upgrade LR to 15.01 and after a few minutes an error message appeared "updating not responding" and progress bar stopped. Now I cannot open LR and cannot edit or access previous image files. Can I restore LR to a previous state prior to 15.01? WINDOWS 11DESKTOP

When I launch the Remove Tool, the Distraction Removal Tool does not appear. I have only the Mode and Tool Overlay options. The area below this is dark. I have the up-to-date version of Lightroom Classic.

A newbie question: I'm creating a calendar that has a template of 11x17. I don't want my 4x3 images to be cropped to fit. Tech support said export at a smaller size.When I exported,  I set 10.5x16.5 as a test (see photo). I uploaded into the program and it didn't work. The photos were all cropped.What am I doing wrong?ThanksLRC 14.5.1Sequoia 15.7.1

How do I associated a reinstalled copy   (14.5.1) so it has all my files, presets, settings etc.???I did click on a Catalog when prompted but it said this catalog was too new for a previous version.Version 15 was taking 15-20 seconds for a Brush to open which I use constantly by hitting "K".This is killing me!!

When I have GPU acceleration turned on in any form LRC will freeze when zoomed in and trying to move around. I am using a 4070 ti and has only been an issue over the last few months. I have tried everything I can think of. I have tried both game ready drivers and studio drivers. I have tried older drivers for both. I have reinstalled LRC. I have tried older versions of LRC. I have contacted the support team and there was no resolution there either. I have tried checking my catalog and a new catalog. I can't get any crash logs because it doesn't crash it just freezes and I have to force close it. In task manager it never shows as not responding.   Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Since the very last update of lightroom I'm no more able to save metadata including develope settings to xmp files on disk. My usual workflow is to keep the catalogue preferences to not writing metada automatically to files while I'm working on a session. Then once the session is finished, or each evenings, I select all the pictures I recently treated and save the metadata to files. I think this avoid slowing down Lightroom while working on a sessions and it adds a security to my edited files. I see there is an option to allow LR to automatically write metadata to files, but I want to choose when I do that. Is it a bug of the last version ? did they change something to the way the program works ?

Hi,  As sugested by a DJ legend in another thread I decided to make  a new post about my specific problem. The problem:  Very slow response from my laptop.  Starting from file loading, to croping and appliing filters.       I own a Macbook Pro M2 with 8GB RAM and about 100GB free space after instaling my Adobe colection.. It is the same that in 2022 was dealing Photoshop and Lightroom in the same time with lots of filters and so on so there is nothing wrong because everything ele is working just fine. . Today I erased everything (full reset) hoping that it will solve the problem but without luck...  I have tryed with and without grafic card acceleration but is acts the same.. I am not sure I will continue to edit on IOS because of the great delay. I am already editing smart previews if anyone thinking ablut it. I understand it is a new software with new features but I dont work in a data center, I am a home user using an accep

When in Library > Grid view,  if you do NOT have an image selected and you right click ANY image (without left clicking to select it) and choose an Export preset, it will export ALL the images in that grid view, and not just the image over which you right clicked.   I suppose that this could be a quick way to export all the images in the grid view without selecting them all first, but what may be misleading is the highlight on hover, before right-clicking, which may lead the user to believe that only the right clicked image will be targeted/exported.   I am not sure if this is intentional or not, so I am posting it here for review.   Is it a bug or a feature?    

Was not v15 supposed to bring better performance and memory management in Windows?I believe Adobe meant: worst and not better.   General performance is much worse than before and memory gets clogged easily, so I have to close and re-open. And when I do this, clicking on LrC icon does nothing and the more you click the more LrC processes starts running in background: I need to kill them to run LrC again.before you ask: nothing changed since upgrade to v15, no new NVIDIA drivers came out and I have a very high end machine that under v14 was running poerfectly fine (bugs aside):- i7 13700- 64GB RAM- OS and CATALOG on superfast internal 1TB SSD- RAWs on superfast internal 4TH SSD- NVIDIA GTX 4070 12GB

Changes made to the image are shown in the little navigation toolbar top left but not  in the main big image, zooming in and out on the main image seems to effect it and make it work correctly for a short time.   Seems to be more reproducablee  using the wacom tablet rather than using a mouse, clicking on navigator image with wacom pen image will trigger it. Lightroom Classic version: 15.0 [ 202510171722-44f87028 ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: enOperating system: Windows 11 - Business EditionVersion: 11.0.26200Application architecture: x64System architecture: x64Logical processor count: 32Processor speed: 3.4GHzSqLite Version: 3.36.0CPU Utilisation: 3.0%Power Source: Plugged InBuilt-in memory: 65460.7 MBDedicated GPU memory used by Lightroom: 2279.7MB / 7995.0MB (28%)Real memory available to Lightroom: 65460.7 MBReal memory used by Lightroom: 8180.0 MB (12.4%)Virtual memory used by Lightroom: 11964.3 MBGDI objects count: 1211USER objects count: 3733P

With the latest update to Lightroom 15, I've been experiencing a cropping bug where I will crop my image and then the crop will jump back to the original crop and I'll have to crop it again to get it to stick. I also am not able to use my directional keys on the keyboard as I've done in the past to be able to scoot the crop over.  It's becoming a pain to do several times in a row, when I could move on to the next image instead of having to go back multiple times to fix a crop I had already done. 

I've recently updated Lightroom Classic to version 15.0 on my iMac mini M1, 16 MB RAM running Sequoia. In the update process I updated my catalogue as normal and everything was running fine. Today it won't import anything. I've tried using a hub, a card reader and copied the files to my backup drive, it won't show any files. When I select a file source I get the spinning circle of dots bottom left but nothing else no matter how long I wait. I thought it might be down to culling so I've turned that off, no change. Any ideas? 

Lightroom Classic release 15.0.1 introduced incredible sluggishness. Most noticeably, when I tried to Save Metadata to File for 325 NEFs that are about 30MB each, the Saving Metadata progress bar appeared but didn't move. After about 20 minutes, I canceled the operation with one XMP file created in the catalog folder containing the 325 images. Note: we're a Windows 11 Pro shop, and my catalog has 88,000 photos. Huge, but this caused no noticeable performance issues before this release.    

Windows 11, upgraded to 15.0.1 today.  First import of 91 pictures yielded 16 sequential photos in the middle of my import plus the last 2 that are blank.  They are now stuck in a state where they don't exist on disk and I can't remove them from Lightroom.   In develop mode, if I right click on the photos in the filmstrip and select "Remove Photo" nothing happens.  Clicking on an image in the filmstrip and then right clicking on the image just brings up a pop-up for what the background color should be. I now have 18 photos that I can't get rid of. Copying the original raw files to a different directory and importing them worked fine, as did an import of addition photos. 

Hi,I use Lightroom for editing wedding photos, and the last version that works on my mac mini m4 is 14.2 Every version after that is laggy and slow. I just updated to 15.1 and in develope mode when I push the right arrow to go to the next photo it will just stay on the curent photo, it will stay frozen like that so I would have to go back and forward to make it work again. I have smart previews switched on since with switched off its even slower.

Hi,    I updated ton LRC 15.0 and it keep crashing on startup, at the catalog conversion page.   I use windows 11 25H2, windows update up to date.  GPUs : Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti with Studio drivers up to date Intel integrated 770 up to date   i went back to 14.5 and crashes also immediatly on startup.  The only version that work without crashing is the 14.0.  I tried to reset the preferences, but nothing changes.  Can you provide some help to fix this problem?    Charles
