Lightroom Classic

Using v 14.5.1 and windows 11, when I open LR, the first screen loads then freezes the whole computer, mouse doesn't work, can't close the program or switch to another window.  Must close LR be using ctrl, alt, del key combo and restarting windows.

I cannot find the File Handling drop down on LRC any help would be appretiated thanks

I recently come across the following Issue:   I have a bunch of jpg files I have post-processed in Photoshop that I want to add geo locations to using the Lightroom Classic map module. After adding the locations I mark all images and do right click - metadata - save metadata to file. For some jpg files the data is written into the jpg file (desired behavior and how I know it from LR Classic for the past 6 years), while for others LR creates a seperate xml file (same location same name as the jpg) containing all metadata including the location.   Since this is a recent thing for me I suspected LR 14 to be the issue so I downgraded back to 13 but the issue persists. I already cleared out my complete LR catalog and only importet a hand full of jpg files to test but the issues persists. The issue can be reproduced, it is always the same jpgs causing the issue. When I open one of the not functioning jpg files in Photoshop and save it again in a new location the issue persists. Whe

I am deleting photos from Lightroom but they are still on the hard drive. This is a new development. I have not changed any settings. I have restarted several times.

I have a massive library (just over 400,000 images) of GoPro Raw (.gpr) images from a multi-year time-lapse. Currently all images are stored in a single folder on a storage server. However, just trying to get the import dialogue to display the images is, so far, going extremely slowly. Slower than I anticpated, even for this many images. An hour after entering the import module and after navigating to the folder and LR has just now started showing thumbnails and will populate about 20 images every 30-45 seconds.I'm fully prepared for the process to take some time, but was curious if I should let it just chug along overnight and then import tomorrow when it's (hopefully) done recognizing the images? Should I go back and break up the files into folders of 10,000 (or less?) each and import in chunks?Following Adobe's guidelines for performance optimization, I've alredy set my Raw cache to 150GB in anticipation. I've also disabled automatic XMP write and intend to render full 1:1 prev

When I click on delete rejected photos in LIGHTROOM, I get a notice that says: the files are on a volume not compatible with the trash Do you want to delete them permanently? I have the photos on an external hard drive and I can't think of why it could be.  In the privileges of the disc I have written and reading for everyone.Would anyone know what it can be?Thank you

Issue: LrC Export DNG (or Tiff) file(s) to Helicon Focus Plugin failsLightroom Classic Version Number: 11.5Camera Raw version number: 14.5OS Version Number: MacOs 12.6Steps to reproduce:Select several images in the library moduleGo to Export -> Helicon Focus (DNG) Expected result: DNG files are created, Helicon Focus is launched, DNG files are read / processed by Helicon focus.Actual result: DNG files are created in "private/var/folders/kg/T/...."After the last file is created Helicon focus is launched.As soon as Helicon Focus gets launched, all de DNG Files are deleted. If the Helicon Focus app is deleted (so it won't start) the DNG files are still created upon export but are also deleted when LrC tries to launch Helicon Focus.If I stop LrC before the last DNG file is created upon export, the DNG files do exist in the folder:"private/var/folders/kg/T/...."So the DNG files are created as expected but deleted too early before Helicon Focus can handle them. Di

I'm on Lightroom Classic 14.5.1It's really running very poorly.It has errors exporting and then will export.It won't always move onto the next image, I might have to zoom in zoom out first.It freezes on the current image and won't move to the next even though the preview window has moved on.If I close Lightroom it won't reopen. I have to reboot.It works fine again for a while and then the issues repeat all over.Is it just me?I'm running a very high spec Lenovo Thinkpad. It wasn't an issue until this version.It's getting to the point it might be easier to work in Photoshop.(Personally I think they've turned Lightroom into a bloated mess).

Hello, I recently did an update to my DJI Mavic Pro 3 and I cannot import my mp4 files into lightroom.  There seems to be some new files that come from the new DJI update?  I attached some screenshots and a photo of  the error warning on LR. 

Hola.Tengo Lightroom 6.0. Al importar las fotos se me cierra despues de 5. Lo vuelvo a abrir y en la siguiente importación me importa las cinco siguientes. Tengo WINDOWS 11 y un PC nuevo con un procesador Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-14650HX (2.20 GHz).¿Me pueden ayudar?

Dear All, I'm running LR Classic 14.0.1 on MacOS Sequoia. Since a couple of weeks ago GenAI removal was working fine, then not: you select the area, but, after the click, nothing is removed, with no error message. Tried already to reinstall the app. (PS. It works on LR and Photoshop, but no on LR Classic).   Any hint???   [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]

Is there a way to feed Lightroom a batch of headshots to teach it a set of faces? I have the headshots for my organization with the person's name as the filename. I could also put the names in a metadata field if that would help.  Is there a way to feed lightroom those headshots to teach it to begin recognizing those people wihtout having to manually identify them?Lightroom Classic 14.4Windows 11

With the Option "Use Smart Previews for image editing" enabled in Lightroom Classic, it usually loads the Smart Preview in the Develop module and only loads the original raw file when zoomed in at 100%.It started acting weird lately with half of the time not loading the original and getting stucked with a zoomed in and pixelated smart preview. I did not change anything on my setup.Has this been reported before? Editing on a Mac Mini M2 Pro with 32GB Ram, using the latest release of LRC.

I'm using Lightroom Classic version 14.3.1. When I use the remove tool on multiple items, it works well on the first one, but not all the rest. I have to do them all individually, which takes a lot longer. Is this normal, or should I be able to do multiples at once? Thanks 

I used to be able to group into a stack in my Library and now it's not possible for some reason.  I highlighted the two images I want to stack, right clicked, and there is no stacking option.  Then I went to the top menu and clicked Photo>Stacking but then all the choices are greyed out.   I've done this many, many times before and it always worked.  I'm on a Mac OS Catalina and LR Version 9.1.Anybody have a solution?

In the attached screenshot, you can see the difference, the Fujifilm JPEG on the left shows the original color I expected (based on the recipe I used in-camera), but the RAW version on the right suddenly looks different after entering Develop mode even tho the White Balance is already set to "As Shot". Yesterday is normal. Why are the colors of my RAW photos changing even tho i'm not changing anything? Even the photos I previously imported suddenly change when I select them in Develop mode. Honestly, somehow the new colors look better than my fujifilm recipe, but it's frustrating because it's also changing the color of photos I’ve already edited. And I actually prefer starting with the look from the Fujifilm recipe I used when shooting. There’s no indication of any changes in the History panel either. Is this a bug, or did I accidentally press something? I’d really appreciate your help. Thank you. I am very newbie, it's my second time using lightroom longer than one day

Hi, I have a server (NAS) at home and I copy my images from the camera card into the server by folder (Folder name would be location name and date : Like - NYV20250903) I would like to know how I can share the same catalogue from my laptop and the desktop , both connected to the NAS thru home LAN network,... That means when I open a library in laptop or desktop I should be able to see the processing I did from my laptop or desktop.....

Since the release of 14.5, I've had an ongoing issue wherein I will add or edit a description on a photo and after a few seconds or when navigating to another photo and back to the original, the description will revert to the prior state (either blank if there were no description or the previous version of the description prior to any edit applied).

Can someone explain why lightroom will only let me remove up to 1000 photos at once? I'd like to just select all my weddings from these past months and get rid of them on Lightroom. If I select more than 1000 it won't remove them, so it makes the process annoyly time consuming. Or is there a way I don't know about??

Now that running AI denoise in Lightroom Classic no longer creates a new DNG, I assume it has to be storing a large amount of data somewhere.  Before I go crazy with denoise (the results are often amazing!) and consume many GB of storage in my Lightroom library files, I wanted to get an idea how much space this takes. I have no way of measuring the library file size increase after a single operation, so I tried the same operation in Adobe Camera Raw (17.4) and found that denoising one 30.8MB Nikon D500 raw file created a new a 6.1MB .acr sidecar file.  So it appears that, at least in this case, denoise created an additional file that is about 20% the size of the original file.   Does anyone know if Lightroom Classic does something similar?  If it does, that means that running denoise on 5GB of raw files (only about 162 D500 files) will result in growing the library files by 1GB.  This is better than a whole new DNG, but it isn't insignificant, and would be part

Using 14.5.1 on a Mac ventura 13.7.8 27" 5k retina 2017When I open photoshop 2025 I can resize the screen with double arrows on the margins of the screen. Also, in the upper left of the screen the three dots appear: red, yellow, green as on any mac window. Lightroom CC also behaves similarly to PS2025, three dots, and a resizable window.However, when using LrC, it "overfills" my display, no sizing dota appear. The upper toolbar, does not show the full menuIf I slide my cursor to the right side it will slide over and show, but that is at the expense of the left side, which is now off the display.I've tried changing the size of the ALREADY TOO SMALL text in preferences from "large" (which it is not), to "small default" and that makes no differenceAs I said, PS2025 behaves fine in this regard as does Lightroom CC, LrC does not.This is a real PITA in workflow. What can I do to change this to a more acceptable behavior, like that of PS2025 and LrCC? I do NOT want to change my disp
