Bonjour,L'outil suppression des distractions ne fonctionne pas. Je clique sur l'outil suppression et sur IA gérérative mais impossible d'activer mais "reflet" et "personne" sont grisés. J'ai essayé avec des photos JPEG et RAW.Windows 10, LRC 14.4Merci pour votre aideBéatrice

Hi All,  I'm having what seems to be a very common issue with LRC and PS talking to each other. I want to open two images as layers in PS from LRC then save back to LRC from PS.  Stats:PS version - 26.8.1LRC version - 14.4Laptop Info - MacBook Pro, 2019 - OS-Sequoia 15.5 Photos are stored on an external drive Steps taken to resolve:- Updated to newest version of PS and LRC - Restarted laptop- Uninstalled both PS and LRC - Reinstalled PS first then LRC- Reset Preferences in PS- Checked external editing preset is set to PS in LRC- Disconnected and reset External Hard drive- Have tried older versions of LRC and PS together  I have had some success with dragging photos over into PS or using the toolbar instead of right clicking on the selected images as I normally do but this doesn't work everytime. When it does I then can't save from PS back to LRC as I get an error message saying there is a disc problem when saving.  I'm kind of at a loss

Each time I try to apply changes to a masked area LRC (V.14.4) is changing the entire picture and not the selected area only.  I never had this problem on my older desk top versions or in the LR for mobile uses. I have windows 11 pro. Do you have an idea? Thanks!

Hello Adobe Team,   First, I want to express my appreciation for the value I’ve received as a subscriber to the Photography Plan. It’s been an essential part of my creative journey, even as an amateur user. The accessibility and affordability of the $9.99/month plan played a significant role in my decision to choose Adobe over other options.   With the announced price changes, I understand that Adobe continues to invest in powerful AI features and other advancements that undoubtedly enhance Photoshop and Lightroom. However, I’d like to offer some feedback and comparisons to competitors that I hope will be helpful as you consider customer experiences and retention: 1. Competitor Pricing and Features: • Affinity Photo: A one-time purchase of $69.99 offers a robust editing platform. For many amateur users, this presents a cost-effective alternative without ongoing fees. • ON1 Photo RAW: At $7.99/month, it includes AI tools like culling and auto photo enhancement, which are incre

Hi,Hoping for a more up-to-date solution for this as Adobe have known about this issue for a long time. 🙂Was following the instructions as provided by Adobe to move files between folders within Lightroom Classic.  Some of the NEFs are coming up as file missing.  Can't find them in either the source or destination folder.  Have searched the whole drive but nothing coming up.  I haven't deleted.  Though I have looked in the recycle bin just in case. On Windows 11. Would appreciate Adobe coming back to me on this.  Afterall, why do we pay our monthly subscription? Where are and how can I recover them?Thanks.Derek

I keep getting this popping up all the time even though I have given LR full disk access (see attached screenshot).  I can obviously just ignore the warning but considering I have given LR full disk access I am wondering what could be triggering it and what exactly is it trying to access that it can't? 

I encountered a very annoying bug after updating to the latest version of Lightroom classic yesterday. When using AI-based selection tools (like Select Subject, Select Background, etc.), I noticed that the selection occasionally cancels itself immediately after making it — as if I never clicked anything. It happens unpredictably, but after using a few AI selections, the issue starts appearing again and again. I've confirmed: My keyboard is working perfectly fine (no stuck Escape keys or anything like that) I'm using the latest Lightroom update Restarting Lightroom temporarily resolves the issue — but only for a short while It becomes a repeated pattern, especially when doing multiple AI-related edits This bug significantly disrupts my workflow and makes AI editing feel unstable. I rely on these tools daily and hope this can be addressed in a hotfix soon.   [Moved from ‘Lightroom ecosystem Bugs’ to ‘Lightroom Classic Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

Hi there Adobe Team, I believe I found a bug in v. 14.4 (build [202506051112-5918896a]). My folder color labels are disappearing between restarts. Here are the colors on the left pane:  And here the color labels gone after restarting Lightroom:  Notice the time on the top right. Any ideas how to solve this? Thanks,Marcelo

In the Develop module, I used to be able to copy the edit settings for a photo using Ctrl + C, and paste it as many times as I liked. However, this no longer seems to reliably work.    I select a photo, and then Ctrl + C. The Copy Settings dialogue is correctly lauched. I click 'Copy'. Sometimes I can paste the settings to another photo using Ctrl + V, but sometimes the command does nothing. If it does work, I can only paste to one or more photos in that single Ctrl + V operation. I cannot then paste the same settings to more photos. This used to work perfectly.    The same is also true for the Copy... Paste buttons I now see at the bottom lefthand side of the navigator panel. Please can you tell me if this is a bug? It's driving me mad! I am a software developer and am pretty confident it's not user error. Thank you.   [moved from bugs to discussion according to the community rules - Mod.]

I key is not changing info until restarting LrC 14.4All Adobe apps up to date as is my computer, Windows 11 

I've been using the Adobe Photography plan (Lightroom Classic and Photoshop) for years but I have exhausted the mac's internal drive space. Previously I moved all of my photos, catalogs and backups to an external SSD but I am still getting warnings about insufficient disk space so I would like to move these apps to the external SSD also. My question is how should that be done? Should I just uninstall the apps from the internal drive then download and install them on the external SSD and then open LR from the lrcat file or is something else required? Thanks!macOS 15.3.2, LR Classic 14.2 

Bonjour,   Impossible de copier les paramètres d'une photo pour les coller. De plus, impossible de mettre à jour l'IA concernant les masques et suppressions, donc ils ne s'affichent pas sur la photo retouchée   Sur MacOS Sequoia 15,5 Mise a jour lightroom classic effectuée   Merci   [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]

I have been revisiting previously imported RAW images that have been edited and created DNG Denoised images. I have been deleting the DNG and using the Auto Sync process to apply Denoise to a batch if the Raw images. I there a recommended procedure carry out this function. Presently I am just applying the Denoise with the previous edits in place.  

I have a new PC running Windows 11 Pro 24H2.  High end system (Core Ultra 9, RTX 5080, 64 GB RAM, etc.).  Trying to transfer my Lr Classic from my old system (Windows 10 Pro 22H2).Copied whole Lightroom folder and sub-folders but when I try and open the catalog, it says it's corrupted.  Lr then disappears, doesn't even always show up in Task Manager.  Tried several backups and ther same happens.Can still run on my old PC without an issue.  Did the whole copy again several times.  I can start and run LrC with the default catalog, no problem but I have many 10,000s of edits in the old catalog and want them.Going crazy trying to figure this out.  Can anyone help?

For example, the preview file is taking forever to copy to a new hard drive in macOSThe catalogue of the file is not that big it's around 5000 photos and again I'm not talking about the smart preview. I'm talking about the preview file.Any solution for it?

Following the 14.4 update, Im now having problems with creating pano's. The pano apears to generate however it and the stacked images fail to disply or show up in the film strip. A search of the folder shows a Lr file with the pano file number but will not import or display in Lightroom. Does anyone have any Ideas?   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

I'll put my best guess up top:I moved my Lr Classic (14.4) catalog from one computer to another, (MacOS) and on the new computer, my username is different - I think that broke the workflow.I moved .lrcat and .lrdata, and the folder structure is the same on both old and new machines: Users/myname/Pictures/<a year folder, with month folders within that)The symptoms are that:The original photos are all on my NAS, and show up when it is connected - but doesn't indicate "Original and Smart Preview" I still have the intact Lr catalog on the first computer, I'm willing to start again. Suggestions? And I thank you for whatever you can offer.Dan

Subject: Lightroom Classic 14.4 – Export Bug Dropping File Name Text Product: Lightroom ClassicVersion: 14.4Operating System: Windows 11 Pro 64-bit Issue Description: I've encountered a bug in Lightroom Classic version 14.4 concerning filename behavior during export. As part of my workflow, I round-trip headshots and portraits through external editors—primarily Evoto and Photoshop—launched directly from Lightroom. To keep files organized, I append “Edit” to the filename during the editing sequence. After passing through both programs, the returned file typically has a name format of "subject name-##-Edit-Edit.tif" Lightroom serves as my base for initial edits, file management, and exporting client-ready files. I use export presets that apply a custom name followed by the original filename. However, I've noticed that Lightroom is now dropping the second “Edit” from the filename during export. This issue is consistent across all my export presets and only began recently. Steps to Reprodu

I have imported MP4 files into LR6 on my Windows 11 laptop (and before that) for years.Today I tried to import some JPG and MP4 files. All of the JPG imported with no issues. All of the MP4 were rejected and the import dialog says "The movie files contain no video frames". If I go to that file in the folder and double-click it plays, so there are frames.The MP4 were taken on a Samsung S24+ Android smartphone.I suspect that there is a missing codec or something as I had to add codecs to VLC to play the video.There is a good general set of codecs at K-Lite and that worked for VLC.Can I add codecs to LR6? How?

As of this morning I cannot export .png files from Lightroom Classic. I get the message that content credentials cannot be confirmed. How do I fix this?

Hi everyone.  I'm trying to open CR3 files from my new Canon R6 Mark II.  I'm running Lightroom 6.14 with macOS Monterey 12.7.6.  Those are the latest versions of the Mac OS and Lightroom that I'm able to run on my computer, which will not allow me to open the CR3 raw photos.  It looks like I can't download the latest version of the Adobe DNG Converter either.  Canon Digital Photo Professional 4 seems to open the files, but I am hoping to still be able to run Lightroom to open these CR3 files since that is my main software I use for my photos. I hope there is a work around where I can still run a version of Lightroom, even if not the latest, on my Mac.  Thanks in advance for your help, everyone!

Im running Lightroom Classic latest version in Windows 11.When i right-click a file to "Show in Explorer" i get a quick pop-up screen that has an error message that iI cannot read because it disapears too quickly.All my files are GOOD and are either *.psd or *.cr2 files.The same problem happens with bridge!My Windows 10 version of Lightroom and Bridge work just fine. 

I can't upload an .ORF file, but jpg's are not supported?  The water spots are removed beautifully on the cave wall, but the others in the water do not.  You're so close.  Great tool.  I shot many photos from inside a bus and having relections removed with the tool has been quite successful.   [Moved from 'Ideas' to 'Discussions' by moderator.
