Lightroom Classic

In the latest updated of Lightrrom the denoise feature has gotten much smoother. Instead of saving a new DNG-file next to the originial image it does some internal magic. I have noticed thet the catalogue get huge though. It grows very rapidly. Mines has double the last few days of editing. This is a problem as the backups is also getting very large. I prefered haviing the DNG-file together with the picture not being backuped all the time. Why is this? Is there any way to get around this? Like removing some denoise data for older photos and being able to recreate it later if needed? Why does all this data gets saved into the backup?

My sister has used Lightroom Classic to edit thousands of photos over the course of many years. Three years ago she needed to replace her PC. She's not technical and paid a consultant to help. He installed Lightroom Classic on the new PC, telling her the license cost was $10. She doesn't use cloud storage - all her photos are on her hard drive, with some backed up to an external HD - and she didn't realize that she had a subscription plan that needed to be paid every month. She received popups, but they were unclear and looked like spam. Finally on September 3rd she received an email from Adobe that we've verified with Adobe is genuine, saying that her plan was cancelled due to non-payment, and she has 30 days to sign up for a new plan, or they will delete all her data (we discovered that a small percentage did sync to the cloud three years ago when she first got the subscription) and her software will get deactivated. Her main concern is that Lightroom Classic continues to functi

I upgraded the hard drive on my PC a week ago. Prior to the upgrade, I uninstalled Lightroom 6. I did not think I would have any trouble reinstalling LIghtroom 6 on my new hard drive because I have the DVD version of the Lightroom 6 which I purchased back in 2017. After replacing my new hard drive, I tried to reinstall my Lightroom 6. The process of installing Lightroom did not seem to give me any trouble. I went through the process of logging into Adobe and entering my Adobe ID, entered the Lightroom 6 serial number and the installation process actually started as expected. In the end, it actually gave me the prompt that stated that Lightroom has been installed successfully. However, upon launching Lightroom 6, the Lightroom screen appeared but seemed to be "stuck" there. I would click on any "tab", e.g., Import, and the screen would "gray out" and the system would return that Lightroom 6 was "not responding". I closed out the program, uninstalled Lightroom 6, shutdown and restarted a

LrLogger adds an extra "\r" to each "\r\n" contained in logged strings on Windows. Tested on LR 14.5.1.   1. Save the attached file "logger-bug.txt" to the LR Scripts folder.  That script contains: logger = import "LrLogger" ("MyLog") logger:enable ("logfile") logger:info ("line 1\r\nline 2\r\n")   2. Restart LR and execute the script.   3. Observe that %LOCALAPPDATA%\Adobe\Lightroom\Logs\LrClassicLogs\MyLog.log contains "line 1\r\r\nline 2\r\r\n" (incorrect) instead of "line 1\r\nline 2\r\n": $ od -c MyLog.log 0000000 0 9 / 2 3 / 2 0 2 5 1 6 : 4 9 0000020 : 4 4 I N F O \t l i n e 1 \r 0000040 \r \n l i n e 2 \r \r \n \0 \r \n  

Bonjour,je suis sur windows 11, LR 14.5.1j’ai effacé par erreur un grand nombre de photo de mon catalogue. Je suis donc repartit d’un backup.

I appologise for the lenghth of this post. In the life of my PC (Win 11) it has experienced one major upgrade and two catastophic breakdowns. For the record these events were unrelated and spread of several years. The good news is that despite this I have not lost any data, mostly photo files.The bad news is that I now have multiple versions of the original folder structure stored on different hard drives  and therefore multiple versions of SOME individual files. In many cases the folders contain slightly different combinations of the files. I am using the LrC catalogues to locate the folder and files.At the momewnt I am opening indiviual folders and copying the file into a version of the same folder held on a differnt drive. This resulted in the recipeient drive being over loaded. On that basis I have invested in a 2TB Crucial X10 which has fixed the capacity problem but I am still left with an excrusiatingly slow process prone to me making a mistake. Is there any tweak or w

I’ve been working on my own preset that I want to start selling, but I’ve run into a question. When I include a skin mask (using color range) in the preset, it looks fine on some photos, but on others the skin ends up looking really bad—desaturated and unnatural. Do you think I should even include the skin mask in the preset, or would it be better to leave it out? Any suggestions or advice would mean a lot. Thanks so much!

I have extended my storage space on my laptop by adding an internal SDXC card (Sandisk 512GB Extreme MicroSDXC Card). I have dedicated this storage space to LR files.  I have beeen using LRC since 2020 mainly to edit my camera files. I am encounering sync problems now and getting a message thats preventing me from moving files.  I dont know how to repair the situation.  Is there a compatabilty problem with the card? I'm not techy, let me add.

My lightroom classic catalogue is corrupt - I get the message and corrupt and cannot be used until it is repaired. When i try repair I get the message 'The catalogue couuld not be opened due to an unexpected error. How Can I fix this please  

Hi all,   I am hoping someone can help.  I am having issues dragging-and-dropping a photo or group of photos into a collection.  Any time I attempt to do this, lightroom classic crashes.  I am running the updated version of lightroom 14.5.1.  OS is Windows 11.   I attached the error xml as well below.  Has anyone run into this or have any suggestions?    I have tried the following and issue persists: 1. Restart computer / lightroom 2. Restore default lightroom settings / preferences 3. Update GPU driver 4. Disable GPU acceleration 5. Create new lightroom catalog 6. Revert to prior versions of lightroom.  I have tried 14.5 and 14.4 so far.   Thanks! Andrew        

I cannot get lightroom classic to send emails.  Read all the articles.I have checked accesss to the sever and ports using terminal, and ports are not being blocked.Tried all the usuall stufff disabling virus checkers etc , to no avail.I keep coming back to setting outlook as the default mail app, still cant find out howto do this.I am using outlook with a hotmail account. Also tried a gmil account. Help !!!   

I'm running version 12.4 of Lightroom Classic and have found a possible bug. I can no longer "Clear History" on a group of selected photos. No matter how I attempt to clear history, I'm limited to clearing history, one photo at a time.   Earlier today, I had a live chat session with Adobe Support. The person I was working with asked permission to start a Bomgar session into my laptop to look at the issue. I welcomed the offer. In fact, I had LrC running with four photos selected. I had done a simple crop of one and applied the edit to the other three.   The support person asked me to demonstrate the problem. I had all four photos selected in the Library module. I opened the Develop module. All four were still selected in the thumbnail bar but, of course, only the first of the four was displayed. All this is normal.   When I hovered over the "X" in the "History" tab, the phrase "Clear All" appeared as usual. However, when I clicked on the "X", no dialog box opened asking

I import my images by year and month into a single catalog, matching the windows file structure. I have two duplicate years (2021 and 2025) which contain different month sequences. When I try to move a month folder from one into another I get "Could not complete folder move: Unknown error" or "Folder already exists".  The file structure in Explorer is normal. All images are in the correct place. Any clues how I can fix this?

I have read almost every post here on LR Classic Sync Issues - I have held down the option ket and attempted to rebuild the sync database but I cannot control how and when LR Classic syncs. Yesterday I set up a new folder and loaded 40 images. It synced fine. Today I set up a new folder and put an image in there and nothing happens. If I click the cloud symbol it has a check mark to say it synced. I see no sync activity listed, and online it has created the collection, but the image I put in the collection is missing. I have tried unchecking and rechecking sync with lightroom but nothing happens. I have wasted SOOO much time trying to get this to work reliably.Help! LR Classic 14.5.1MacOS 15.6.1

Running Lightroom Classic 14.4 on a Mac Studio M1 Ultra machine. Up until the 14.4 update, it was running very smoothly. Now, when making adjustments, it takes 5-7 seconds to load the next photo. Other times, it refuses to change a flag or color label. Even more times, I quit the app and it says it's still writing to XMP metadata, when it's clearly not.   Not sure how these major issues weren't caught before release. Pretty frustrating as a pro that my editing time has almost doubled because of this.   Tried optimizing the catalog, increasing cache size, to no avail.

Uso Lightroom 14.5.1 Release e ele está travando IMPOSSÍVEL trabalhar no meu iMac M4, atualizado para o MacOS Tahoe 26.0. Já tentei duas sessões de Adobe Support Remote e os agentes não conseguem me ajudar. Sou fotógrafa e não consigo trabalhar já faz três dias.  

Since updating to the new 13.3 Version of lighroom classic and 7.3 of lightroom my sync status appears to be stuck, stating 'Initializing Sync Data'. It has been stuck like this for the past 24hr's, although I have not left Lightroom running all that time, but it has been running for the past 4hrs with nil change. I did update my Lightroom Catalogue and have around 10k files in the cloud (mostly smart previews).  Is it just a waiting game or is there likely an error preventing further progress.  Any help would be appreciated.

It seems like it would work, but I haven't tried it.   Can you Import ... edit images ... then Export images ... using only a single hard drive.  TY Windows 11LrC 14.5.1  

I'm in library mode and trying to add the same series of keywords to a group of about 60 photos.  All these photos are highlighted at the bottom of my screen but one photo appears to be highlighted more brightly.  I've typed in a group of keywords in my sidebar and then clicked enter.  I thought that action should tag all 60 photos with the same keywords but it doesn't.  Only the brightly highlighted photo gets the keywords.  Surely there has to be a way to tag multiple photos with the same keywords all at once.  I've watched Cris Orwig's video on Adobe and am following the same steps he demonstrates but the keywords are only tagged to the one photo.  Am I missing something simple here? Thank youMark

App Version: Lightroom Classic 14.2 OS: macOS Sequoia 15.3.1   I would really appreciate some help with this. I'm not sure if it's even a bug or if I'm just doing something wrong. I just noticed this issue on some recent images from a recent trip when trying to export. When exporting from a RAW file with the correct lens profile assigned, the exported file doesn't appear corrrected as I am seeing it in the Develop tab. Everything looks great in the Develop tab when I view the image as ‘Fit’ in the window. The moment I zoom in on the image in the Develop tab, the distortion is incorrect; the same way it appears in the exported file. Here are a few images for reference. The first image is what I want/expect; all the lines are nice and straight.     Additionally, it all looks fine when previewing it in the develop tab but if I switch to the Library tab, the distortion appears like the image below. This is what I get when I export:     And here's the image with n

When the Preferences/Interface/Font size=150% the widget is too big for a laptop monitor, and the "OK" button is outside the visible area when the W11 Taskbar is visible. One needs to set the taskbar to "auto hide" in order to see the "OK" and "Restart Lightroom" buttons. That is an obvious bug, which must be fixed. Windows 11 Pro, Monitor size the very standard 1920x1200, scale is the (recommended) 125%.

How do I get rid of the vignette effect on unchecked images? I'm trying to import images into a collection from a file location and when I uncheck all I get this vignette effect which makes it very difficult to see the images and distinguish between shots.

One of my image folders is showing an incorrect number of images.  The folder itself contains 2000+ images, they are all visible in the grid view and all editible in the Develop Module.  I have a screen capture that shows part of the grid view which contains all 2000+ images.  I have screen captures of the grid view but I can't post them because I'm being asked for labels for each image but I don't know what labels it is referring to. There is nothing wrong in the grid view or in the folder itself, but the catalog on the left column says that there are only 14 images.  Clearly that is wrong.  Both Windows explorer and the count summery at the bottom the Grid View agree on the 2000+ number.  But the left column says there are only 14 A second screen capture shows the image count of 14 but again, I don't know how to post it.   I see no other errors.  I have no idea why this particular folder vs all the others, is wrong.&nbs
