Lightroom Classic

For some reason my LR window fills the entire iMac screen. I can't make it smaller. And after talking with the Adobe chat bot, I've lost the bar that has File, Edit, etc. I have the latest version of LR CC

On my laptop, Lightroom Classic 15.0 and the recent update 15.0.1 won't start. The process begins but remains in the background without opening the program. The Creative Cloud Desktop app confirms that LR Classic is compatible with my device.My operating system is Windows 11 Home 25H2.I haven't had any issues like this with previous versions. I reinstalled the version prior to 15, and it starts up correctly.The problem is that I have version 15 installed on my main PC, and the catalog is updated to that version, so I can't open that catalog on version 14 on my laptop!

So when denoise was first added, it was working. After a few updates it stopped working. I could understand if they would use a different image model that would require more GPU power, but I get the error that the file format is not compatible.---- ExifTool ----ExifTool Version Number : 12.82---- File ----File Name : 4N3A9818.CR2Directory : /Users/razvantamas/Pictures/tuscanyFile Size : 43 MBFile Modification Date/Time : 2025:11:01 14:04:09+02:00File Access Date/Time : 2025:11:12 14:50:07+02:00File Inode Change Date/Time : 2025:11:12 11:29:20+02:00File Permissions : -rwx------File Type : CR2File Type Extension : cr2MIME Type : image/x-canon-cr2Exif Byte Order : Little-endian (Intel, II)---- EXIF ----Image Width : 6720Image Height : 4480Bits Per Sample : 8 8 8Compression : JPEG (old-style)Make : CanonCamera Model Name : Canon EOS 5D Mark IVPreview Image Start : 69320Orientation : Horizontal (normal)Preview Image Length : 5558278X Resolution : 72Y Resolution : 72Resolution Unit : inchesM

Just recently, when I click on Photo->Edit-In->Edit in Adobe Photoshp (Beta), I get the error message : Detected Adobe Photoshop 2026 is already running If I click on Photo->Edit-In->Edit in Adobe Photoshp 2024, it all works fine in the older version. Yes, I have re-started everything and error continues Any ideas?

As a long time Lightroom user and recently, about 60-90 days ago, began to experience extremely long Lightroom Back Up times of several hours to even longer? What previously took 15-20 minutes is a painfully slow process currently? Yes, I restart my IMac daily if not multiple times a day and the external hard drive is defragmented as well? All of the Lightroom and Imac updates appear to be current too.

I want to point to a photo from a folder from multiple collections.  Lightroom will not be used to display the photos and I want to force the order in which photos are displayed outside of Lightroom.  For example, photo 199707001 is in folder "Source".  Photo 199707001 in Collection "A" might assigned a sequence number 0100 to be the 10th photo displayed and in Collection "B" photo 199707001 might assigned a sequence number 0150 to be the 15th photo displayed.  In collection "A", when photo 199707001 has 0100 appended, in the folder "Source" the photo id becomes 0100199707001.  In collection "B" if I then update the sequence number of photo 199707001 from 0100199707001 to 0150199707001, the identifier is changed to 0150199707001 in both Collection "A" and folder "Source". For many reasons, displaying photos in chronological order of the date/time stamp when they were taken doesn't work.  Using a subject name is no better because differe

Today I was informed that my Adobe Photography (20GB) monthly subscription will increase in price significantly at the next annivesary, and that I could maintain the same price by concerting to an annual subscription. I did that successfully. But when I looked at the available apps in the new subscription I found that it only contained Lightroom, the web-based app. Checking my Lightroom Classic installation I found that it was working correctly, so far at least, but that there was a new update Lightroom Classic 15.0.1. There was no warning that that this update would create a new catalogue which is not compatible with previous catalogues. I successfully updated the Classic software to version 15.0.1.  but then learned that this new catalog had been created and the old catalogs were contained in a zip file. I decided to update the catalog, as I could not see - or understand - what was the alternative.I can now no longer "find" my photographs in Lightroom Classic, nearly all the thu

I have a plugin that kicks off a long running task. The task, obviously, doesn't terminate when the plugin is reloaded and I'm left with a trail of processes. Someone has suggested that there's a _G[] table  or similar that I can store persistent values outside of the plugin's scope in but I'm having trouble making that work. Is it a thing or have I misunderstood?  

I edit professionally using smart previews in Lightroom Classic for a number of clients that use a variety of different color profiles. I do not personally own every profile that my clients request that I use, but that hasn't been an issue in the past since I have always been able to copy the "Treatment and Profile" settings from their edited sample images, and paste the profile onto the unedited images. Even though it would have a warning saying "Profile Missing," I found that this trick still worked for both me and my clients.However, after updating my Lightroom today, it is no longer copying these missing profiles over to any other new images. Even if I paste all settings from the previous photo, all edits and adjustments will copy over to the new image, but the profile will stay the default Adobe Color. Any tips on how to possibly fix or work around this issue? I have gone in and redownloaded version 14.5.1 of Lightroom Classic and reconfrimed that I can copy/paste missing profiles

Bonjour à tous, Depuis une semaine et sans aucune intervention sur mon ordinateur je ne vois plus les aperçus d'image dans LRC, que ce soit en miniature ou dans le module Bibliothèque, pour voir l'image je dois aller dans le module développement.En pagineant les photos dans le module développement je les vois aparaitre en aperçu, mais seulement 3 photos maxi merci de votre aide

Hallo,ich versuche von meinem Desktop von meiner Drohne importierte JPGs und DNGs in Lightroom zu importieren, dies funktioniert nicht. Im Explorer werden die Bilder sauber angezeigt, ein Bearbeiten mit CameraRaw in Photoshop funktioniert ebenfalls. Wenn ich den gleichen Ordner in Lightroom importieren möchte, funktioniert es nicht. Die Bilder werden grau dargestellt, ich kann sie markieren und "importieren" aktivieren, dann passiert nichts. Was kann ich tun  ? 

Hi all, as the title says it's taking an extremely long time for Lr Classic to sync to the cloud and I'm wondering if this is normal. I cleared all synced photos recently as I was running out of cloud storage and had ~8000 images (mostly smart preview only) on there that I didn't need. After clearing it, I then selected 385 images that I wanted to add back to the cloud. I synced them via Lr Classic a first time, which didn't take long at all. This was just syncing the smart previews as it does when syncing to the cloud via Lr Classic. I then tried to add the full quality images to the cloud by importing via the regular Lr program but unfortunately that took me over my storage limit, so I first cleared the deleted items on Lr to see if that woud help (it didn't). I then went back to Lr Classic, removed all the 385 images from All Synced Photographs, and started again to sync them as smart previews only. I added the 385 images back to All Synced Photographs as before, howe

I am confused. I have recently started using Lightroom as well as Lightroom Classic – which I have been using for ten years. I have all my photos on a 2TB SanDisk. There are a total of 46,618 photos taking up 742GB of space. When I use LR I can see all the photos. When I use LRC (latest version 15.0) I see just 38,508 photos. As an example I have three screen shots. The first shot shows the information on my SanDisk for the folder titled Angela poster2. The second screen shot shows LR and all the photos. The third screen shot show LRC and has just two shots. Why are there six shots missing in LRC? I have tried to import and I have synced – all to no avail. Can someone please help. I much prefer LRC and I do not understand what I am doing wrong.

Hello there!Recently I purchased an m4 macbook pro and generally im very pleased with the performance vs my windows machine but this thing is getting to really ruin the experience. When i switch between photos in the develop module it happens usually almsot instantly but sometimes it gets stuck and then it takes 3-4 seconds to do it. It shows in the thumbnails i switched but can only see the previous photo and no settings loaded. I have 30gb cache set up and these are 20MB jpegs so i feel soemthing is going wrong here. mac os 15.7.1

I have ~300 photos from an event that I need to export. I ran them through denoise. When I go to export them all, I get a message that some of them need AI update. OK, but it hangs up every damn time. So I try to select all - Photo -> Update AI Settings, but that option is grayed out, evidently because one or more files don't need AI Update...So right now I'm having to go through each file, one by one and updating AI. What was supposed to save time has now become a huge time suck. I'm working under a deadline and this is killing me.

In the Book module, when using image files stored on external drives that are connected after launching Lightroom, some of these files are incorrectly recognized as offline and the book export is failed. However, they are fully accessible and visible in the Library and Develop modules. To make the Book module recognize them correctly, I have to restart Lightroom with external drive connected. It would be great if this issue could be fixed.

I have imported a lot of scanned images into my library, mainly from 35mm negatives but also some 35mm slides and 110 negatives. I would like to create a smart collection for each type but haven't been able to figure out how.  I have used the "Source Type" field in the "IPTC Extension Administrative" metadata section to identify each type, e.g. "Digitised from a negative on film" and so on. However, I can't find a specific entry for "Source Type" anywhere in the Smart Collection settings but I've tried "Any searchable text", "Any searchable Metadata", "Searchable IPTC" but none of them seem to work. That suggests that the "Source Type" field is not searchable for some reason. Anybody got any ideas on where I'm going wrong?

The Import window is truncated on the right in six languages in Window > Screen Mode > Normal but,  at least for some languages, not in the other screen modes. (I didn't test all combinations.)    Truncation occurs in German (DE), French (FR), Norwegian (NB), Dutch (NL), Polish (PL), and Russian (RU). See the attached screenshots, including one for English (EN) for comparison.   I tested these configurations of LR 15.0.1:   - Windows 11 (ARM): Preferences > Interface > Font Size: 200%, main window size 2670 x 1561, Windows Display Scaling 250%.   - Windows 11 (Intel): Preferences > Interface > Font Size: 250%, main window size 3093 x 2519, Windows Display Scaling 250%.   I casually observed similar symptoms for NL and DE on Mac OS 15.7.1 but didn't thoroughly test Mac.  

Since I have updated to LRc 14.4, 14.5 as well as 15.0.1 my CPU (Intel i7 8900, 32 GB RAM, Win11) is running at 50 up to 100% load as soon as I switch from library to development mode, but only if I have activated AI-denoise function. Even when denoise is finished, the CPU is still running at about 50% constantly while the GPU is at 2-3% (Nvidia GTX 1070, 8 GB VRAM). Adobe recommends to apply AI-denoise at first step before all other development work. But when I follow this, my workflow from photo to photo is slowing down dramatically, impossible to work quickly. The only work-around I found is applying AI denoise as final step of my workflow. What could be the reason for this? Could you please help me to solve this problem?

  How to provide Full Disk Access on macOS Since macOS 10.14 (Mojave), Apple introduced a new privacy structure to help ensure that all applications obtain user consent before accessing documents, downloads, desktop, iCloud Drive, and network volumes. This has been reinforced in newer versions of macOS. This change prevents unauthorized access to user files and folders. When Full Disk access & Accessibility permissions are needed, users may be asked to or be required to change the setting in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Full Disk Access for Lightroom Classic manually.   While for the File & Folders access, the user is prompted to allow or deny when needed.  Why provide full disk access to Lightroom Classic? Insufficient or broken permissions may restrict Lightroom Classic from functioning correctly and break your workflows. All tasks that require access to the computer's storage — importing/exporting images, cross-app workflows, reading/writing metadata,

Kun olen käsitellyt kuvat ja poistun Lightroomista ja painan back up symbolia, niin se aloittaa, mutta hetken päästä se lopettaa ja ilmiottaa ettei se löydä hakemaansa catalogia. Mahtaako tämä ongelma johtua siitä, että Google ei käynnistynyt toissa päivänä ja ilmoitti että uBlock Origin oli kaatunut. en saanut mistään ladattua sitä uudelleen, mutta sitten sain Googlen ladattua. Nyt sit Lightroomissa on tullut tällainen ongelma. Kuinkahan sen voisi selvittää?

Hello Team! I'm having an issue. When I do the first edit in Photomechanical 6, the label color doesn't transfer to Lightroom. Not sure what I should now. Any idea?  Btw, Lightroom has just been updated to the latest version.  Thanks in advance for any help! CAm
