Lightroom Classic

My "set rating" is not working in Lightroom Classic. I am up to date, the catalog has been optimized.  I select some photos in the library, hit "2" to give the selected photos 2 stars. The "Set Rating" bar shows up in the upper left corner of the screen like it is showing me the progress, but it never moves. I click on it and it says "waiting".    Same for setting color...nothing happens.  If I just select 1 image, i can't set the rating either.    I don't sync my photos to the cloud, everything local.   Please help!    [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]

Hello,I have upgraded to Lightroom Classic 15 today and most of the times switching to full screen mode ("F" key when in Develop mode) shows a blurred low-resolution version of the image.It does not seem to happen when in Library mode, in fact, as a workaround, I switch to Library, move to full screen, then back to Develop and get the high-res version of the image.Very annoying

Lightroom Classic....Don't talk to someone while you are adding keywords. I thought I was "Select All" in "Previous Import" but I selected all in the entire catalogue, 196,000 images. Now "autumn" has been added to every image, negating all of the previously truly autumn keyworded images. I immediately tried "Undo" but that simply unselected all. Is there a way to edit actions by date such as "Most Recent" keywords which I could delete? I have saved a backup catalog not too long ago but obviously if I revert to using the old one, I will have to re-import and re-keyword many images added since. THANKS!

For some reason, the preset amount slider works only for some user presets. On the left the preset amount slider works perfectly fine, however on the right, the slider is greyed out and not usable. No clue what it could be. I am using LRC v 11.4.1 on Windows 11 Pro version 21H2.  

[I am on the most current version of Lightroom Classic.]When I import my photos taken with a Nikon Z 6III into LrC, some of my sliders are consistently adjusted. An example is an increase in saturation.  I think I want everything to start with all the sliders at zero.  I have one custom present for lens correction.  Is it the Profile I am selecting in Develop?  So, 1) What is causing the automatic adjustments? 2) How do I get rid of them? 3) What Profile should I be using to start in the Develop Module?Thanks.

Running the latest MacOS with LR 15.0,  I edited a new gallery. Tried to delete and remove some rejected photos, Could not do it bulk, so I individually removed as well as deleted some; both seemed to work. Then edited the remaining photos. Exported jpegs successfully. then went to close Lightroom. It said I needed to pick a new backup folder. I retried,  then tried to pick a new folder. it errored out and closed LR. I reopened,  did another backup, and thought I successfuly created new backup.  but upon reopening again all the removed photos were back. Blank spots for the deleted photos were back. And all my edits are gone.  Then I just updated to the LR 15.0.1 but the gallery is still not showing any edits etc?  Was this a bug that was fixed?  have I lost all those edits?

I am an editor for another photographer and I receive the catalog with Smart Previews. Last Saturday, we photographed an event together, and when he tried to send me the catalog, the following message appeared: 'Lightroom encountered problems reading this photo.'I already tried storing it on the C: drive, moved it to the 😧 SSD, and nothing solved it. Is anyone else experiencing this?LR Version: V15.0 

I went to go and use AI noise reduction today in Lightroom Classic on my mac and all it does is come up with a loading box saying "applying denoise" with a loading bar then disappears without doing anything. After doing this once, it won't let me apply ai denoise again or to any other photos without restarting and still it doesn't do anything to the photos. The same goes for Raw details and super resolution. Anyone have any idea why this is happening? I don't use AI denoise super often but I want my product to actually work

  Since I updated LrC to version 14.0.1, I can't play videos in library mode any more. Lightroom crashes every time I click on a video.  (MacBook Pro, Intel), MAC OS 15.0.1, short video from iPhone 12 mini. I have sent an error report to Adobe each time and had my system checked each time (no incompatibilities were found).   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

Hi. Since updating to v15, when I drag and drop a file onto the app from my desktop or folders, the app opens fine but doesn't and won't import the file I dropped on it. I have never had a problem like this with the app until I updated to v15 version. Does anyone have any ideas what might be wrong or is this a bug with the new version? I am on a MacBook M4 pro.

Bonjour, Il pourrait être intéressant de savoir comment Lightroom travail pendant la retouche, je veux dire par la, dans le traitement d'une photo, le Processeur est important ainsi que la carte graphique et la mémoire RAM.Mais qui est le plus utilisé pendant le traitement ? Est le Processeur ou bien la carte graphique et dans quel rapport ? La question peut parraitre peu pertinante, mais, elle permettrait de mieux apréhender l'optimisation du matériel (de mon point de vue).Je précise que pour l'instant que  je n'ai trouvé aucune réponse à ma question.

Hi All,It's painfully slow to use after upgrading from win10 to win11. Especially the masking. When LR is running, even typing in the browser is slow, it completely takes up the PC, if LR and PS are running at the same time, the computer freezes. There were no problems when using Win10.All drivers updated manually.?? Is there a way to fix it or update LR ??Because it's impossible to work with the software like thisThank you for your help!Peter Lightroom Classic version: 14.5.1 [ 202508231203-c2638d01 ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: enOperating system: Windows 11Version: 11.0.26200Application architecture: x64System architecture: x64Logical processor count: 8Processor speed: 3,6GHzSqLite Version: 3.36.0CPU Utilisation: 4,0%Power Source: Plugged InBuilt-in memory: 32686,8 MBDedicated GPU memory used by Lightroom: 3465,7MB / 6029,0MB (57%)Real memory available to Lightroom: 32686,8 MBReal memory used by Lightroom: 5770,8 MB (17,6%)Virtual memory used by Lightroom: 15200,0 MBGDI

I have a MacBook Pro 2019 with Lrc 2025 . It will find my external hard drive but it can not find Apple photos from my phone. I have been into setting and given access to files and folders to Lightroom Classic and still no Joy. what have I missed

 Can you please provide me with the steps to add a water mark of my name on my photos in LC? Thank you.

I just upgraded LrC on my Windows 10 PC to v15. This problem also occurred when I was running 14.3. I checked my PC, I have 80GB of memory free and 16GB of RAM. I have always had success with LrC and my catalogs. I back up to an external  HD. It has 1.1TB free. All of a sudden, my LrC stopped importing large batches of photos (15GB+ / 3100+ photos/videos). Files are being imported from my phone (with 20GB of free/unused storage). The phone is a Galaxy S22. Lots of files types: HIEC, JPG, RAW, etc. I have tried updating LrC to v15, I have tried disabling the GPU on my PC's device manager, and turned off "Use Graphics Processor" in LrC under Preferences. The same results: the import process proceeds to 90% then hangs... for HOURS. I checked the CPU, disk and memory usage (10/50/20% respectively, give or take).  I'm attaching what my LrC file folder looks like here. I ALWAYS backup the catalog when prompted when I close LrC. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am using LR6 on a PC and this morning I cannot open LR6 - I am getting the following message - "Lightroom cannot use the catalog named "Lightroom 6" as it is not writable and cannot be opened".  I have checked forums and checked that I have read and write permissions and I have also checked my LR folder to make sure that there is not a lrcat.lock file preventing the opening of LR.Any suggestions what to do next please?

@Rikk Flohr: Photography, The help page Lightroom Classic system requirements | earlier releases doesn't include LR 14.x. The requirements for 14.x can be retrieved from here:https://web.archive.org/web/20250116035059/https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/system-requirements.html

Hey all, I have just tried deleting some files off my Mac and keep getting this pop up saying about Volume does not support trash.Working perfectly few days ago where it would put them in the trash bin on my Mac,I know I probably won't want them photos anyway but I don't understand the change in behaviour. Any ideas? I am running the latest version of OSX and LRC.
