Lightroom Classic

I am puzzled. I bought an SSD to help speed up the read speed for cataloging photos and videos I take on my phone that turn into reels. I am able to sift through and view the photos from that SSD that have already been uploaded. When I select this SSD in the uploading window, I just get the spinning wheel for an enternity and the light on the SSD does not flicker to indicate they are talking. It is like a complete disconnect with the upload function only. I am not sure what I can do about this besides a workaround with moving files so that they upload on a current HDD, and then I'll update the new file location to the SSD.   Both the PC and Lightroom are up to date. Hardware details and the spinning wheel are in photos attached. I purchased the Samsung T7 Shield 4TB portable SSD (1050mb/s).   If anyone has any answers, I would be very grateful.      [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

I create a collection, then hit "Make Public". I go the the web gallery (https://adobe.ly/43PUrvf), but they do not sort by name or date created. I need to sort them by name. How do I do that? I am using a Mac, but even if I go to LR web and sort there, nothing changes. Any thoughts?

Can anyone tell me how to organize images so they show up organized by name on a Lightroom Web gallery? On LR Classic, they are arranged by name, but on the web gallery, they show up in a random order. I have also tried to organize the gallery in question on LR Web by filtering by custom or date options. They are the only options available.  I am working on LR Classic and am working on an M1 machine. 

Hi everyone. Basically what the title says - I AM using Lightroom Creative, as that's what I've used for wedding photography for the past 6 years and it's worked perfectly. I recently got a new laptop, and with it new updates to LrC and Photoshop that my old computer was likely too old to get. Everything is different now - I can no longer save a JPG in photoshop without making a copy? If that tells you how long it's been since my computer updated.  Images are saved as jpegXL. I opened them in lightroom and they look absolutely awful. The first photo is what it looked like in LrC. The second is what it looks like saved onto my computer (how it's intended to look).Anyone know what's going on here?

Hello, my lightroom crash many times "no reason"  6 different versions , same problem    Help , im a pro use   [Crash Report Attached as Text File]

Hi,I'm editing 360 photos and to get them to stitch after editing, I need to  HDR merge them with the auto align box unchecked.So far, I've not found ways to manually change the settings when doing batches of images (multiple stacks). It's getting real time consuming having to manually HDR merge every single stack.Has anyone found a solution to this?

I've tried this on 3 photos and this is always the results I get. I've also included a screenshot of my iMac's specs. specs.  

Issue: In both the Develop and Library modules, using the left/right arrow keys sometimes changes the selected thumbnail in the Filmstrip, but the main preview does not update accordingly. Provide Lightroom Classic version: Lightroom Classic version 14.4 [Camera Raw 17.4]Provide OS and version: macOS Sonoma v. 14.7.5 (23H527) Steps to reproduce the behavior: Open Lightroom Classic and go to either the Develop or Library module.Use the left or right arrow keys to move through the photos.Occasionally, the thumbnail selection in the Filmstrip changes, but the preview stays stuck on the previous image, especially when the image has undergone adjustments.Pressing the arrow key again forces the preview to refresh and show the correct image. Once the correct image is displayed, I can then go back (or forward, depending on which arrow key was initially pressed) and see the proper image preview as expected. Expected result: The preview should always update immediately to mat

As the title suggests, I'm still using Lightroom Classic 5.7 on my Winwos 11 and suddenly today - LR started crashing when trying to import new images. Does any one know how to fix this? Many thanks in advance.

So I am following these instructions to retrieve deleted photos:https://helpx.adobe.com/pl/lightroom-cc/using/restore-deleted-photos.html It says under "View Deleted Photos" : Click the "MY Photos" Icon.  Where is this??

Lightroom Classic is constantly "forgetting" where I usually import files from (my download folder on my Mac) and where I usually put them (a Misc folder in my library).The program collapses the folder structure for both the "where from" and the "where to" locations, forcing me to laboriously re-open folders to get to the ones I want to use.Is there a way to store a preset for these locations, or some other method that would prevent this unnecessary work?Thanks for any help the community can give here.

Hello, I have two work stations. One is my PC at home and other is my laptop I carry while working. I have only been using Lightroom Classic all this while and have never used the web versions of it until now. I recently looked into syncing which would be beneficial for me rather than keep transfering files from computer to computer. The issue is that when I am 'enable sync' from the cloud icon in Lightroom Classic on my home PC, it starts downloading the files stored in laptop (I already have local copies of it in my SSD). How do I stop it from downloading local copies but just let it sync to the cloud so I can edit on laptop whenever needed. Is there even an option like that?

Hello,   I found that this feature was requested several times and as it was not fulfilled, I add my voice and ask again for displaying file names in filmstrip view. When You edit thousand of pictures and Your client sends You a photo selection based on file names, it would save a lot of time to see the file names directly and not be having to mouse over and look in the status bar. It would be much better for orientation when scrolling through a huge collection.   Thanks!   Radim

On my Macbook Pro 2021 M1 the Lightroom Classic masking tool is keep on freezing. Specially when i work with the brush tool. After some time of using it, it starts lagging and it slows down significantly and it becomes unusuble. Then even if i just want to move to another picture it takes like 30 seconds till the new picture shows up. And when i want to restart the LRC it just freezes and i have to force quit it. Does anyone witnessed the same issue? Is there any solution for this problem? Thnx...

I selected the Remove tool.  Selected Use Generative AI and Detect Objects.  Brushed over object to remove.  But the remove button was not active.  I had a similar issue with the landscape Mask.  What is the problem and the solution?  Creative Cloud is indicating my software is up-to-date. [Using Apple 14 inch, M1 Macbook Pro].

This has been an issue since I started using Lightroom 6-7 years ago and never really thought about if there is a way to disable this. But when transfering settings to each image, why does lightroom more often than not, rotate masks to the improper positions, making me have to adjust them almost every single photo?  The photos are from the same set and are not wildly different, so there is zero need to constantly rotate them out of place. Exact same lighting, same background, only different poses with people. Very often times even if it's nearly identicaly, but just minor differences like looking a different direction, or eyes open vs eyes close.......it will still rotate the mask out of position.    It seems to LOVE slowly but surely rotating masks that are vertical, to always point from corner to corner instead or sometimes horizontal, completely off from where it needed to be or where it was, when copying it to multiple photos.  Can literally see t

So in the last few months Lightroom has been crashing increasingly frequently on my Windows 11 system. I have tried everything that I could think of including reinstalling, cleaning up graphics drivers and reinstalling, moving cataolog to different disk, creating new catalogues, disabling GPU in Lightroom, Resetting Lightroom settings, but nothing worked.   Initially things started with LR crashing when importing relatively large number of images (from few hundred to few thousands) but lately they have very frequent, like crashing every few minutes.   The crashes happens   1. When lightroom has to build a number of thumbnails and previews. This is related to imports (though I have turned off preview generation) when thumbnails for imported images are generated, it also happnes when I navigate to a collection (smart or regular) where LR has to generate thumbnails from many folders on the disk.   2. Doing heavy edits.   3. Strangely even if I am doing nothing and

Thanks for taking the time to read my post and provide help.  I'm guessing that my problem is a simple enough one, though I'm unable to find a resolution online. When saving a Preset in Lightroom Classic ("LrC"), as a standard the "Group" that it saves under defaults to the last one which was used (see the 1st attached screenshot).  For me, this has been the case for the last several years that I've been using LrC, and it makes sense so that when you're editing photos from an event, every time a Preset is saved you shouldn't need to reselect the same Group.  That would be such an annoying waste of time!About a month ago, I noticed that instead of this continuing to be the case where the default Group is the last one which I had selected, it has been reverting back to the original "User Presets" Group each time, including while I'm editing photos from a single event like a Wedding which I am currently editing.  I want each Preset to save in the same Group/ Folde

Bonjour à tous ! je suis dans le pétrin ! je suis sous LR classic et j'ai fait le bétise de supprimer mes sausavegardes que j'éffectuais à chaque fermeture de lightroom !Résultat, je n'ai plus accès à mes photos !Existe-t-il  une solution afin de retrouver mes suavegardes perdues et de les recharger sur l'ordi ?je suis sous Windows 10 64 Qui va me sauver la vie ?

Bei mir geht der Import auch nicht. Es kommt sofort die obige Fehlermeldung.Ich habe eine Kopie des zu importierenden Katalogs auf der Festplatte erstellt, funktioniert auch nicht...

Hello,     1.) Lightroom 14.4 German / Camera Raw17.4   I am able to synchronise the KI Denoise over several pictures. If I  remove the Ki Denoise on several pictures I must go to each picture to unselect the Denoise button. Could you get me hints.   Wkr Eberhard   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

can't import nikon .nef files in lightroom classic on my mac Chrome, Mac OS X 10.15.7 LRC version 12.2 

I'm not sure if this is user error, but for the first time tonight, after using this app for about 5 years, the LR Classic window is stuck at the full size of my screen - not exapanded with the green, double-arrow button, but just stretched out accross the whole screen - and though I can move the window around, I cannot shrink it vertically or horizontally. I both force quit and updated the app and it still reopens with the same issue. 

I am using lightroom Classic v 13.0.1 on my Mac OS and am trying to import Nikon Z8 raw files. I do so just as I did before with my Nikon D780 and the previous LrC version and it doesn't find the photos. Apparently it only creates smart profiles and thinks the images are only on the card (which they still are) even after importing. Also, I am unable to use the denoise function. What is going on?

I deleted a collection which was synced to cloud and now it's trying to sync something which doesn't exist. I've tried resetting sync data which works until I close and reopen LRc. LRc tell me to send a diagnostic report to support. I can't do that because this forum appears to be the only option and won't accept a zip file. It can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hNoFF7yC2QXl1F4hboIeppPnDG8yN1-X/view?usp=sharing What can I do to fix this, it renders all syncing unusable.
