Lightroom Classic

Before the last couple of updates I could import to lightroom and it would import the the last place I imported my pictures. Now I have to physically show Lightroom where I want the pictures everytime. Even after just importing from a card and then want to import from a different card to the dame date. So in other words if I want to import pictures from the card I have to go to Macintosh HD, then User, Then user name, then pictures, then Lightroom and since I have my lightroom set up to sort by date it will post under 2020/then the actual day. Is there a way that I can make a default to always go to the same folder when importing instead of having to find it manually each time?

I just realized that the GPS info that is in my original image doesn't synchronize to the web. How can I can achieve this?

Situation: When an image is tagged with GPS coordinates, Lightroom Classic suggests location data which si shown in italic in the respective fields: Challenge: The data is only shown in the Lightroom interface but not merged into the meta data of the original image. Solution: I seeked adivce previously and since then, I used the AnyTag plugin. Due to a Lightroom bug, I can only commit the location data to 10-15 images at once which is a pain when you want to tag 1,000 images. Does anyone have a solution that works?

Hi,When i open any mask in lightroom classic the colour temp always defaults to -50 and the subject turns to blue,I then need to manually slide the colour tem to 0How can i change the default setting for colour temp to 0 when i open any mask in lightroom CL please? Thanks

I just started using Adobe's Denoise feature which I think works well. Today I was asked to submit photos I took of some birds and they would like them converted to JPEG. Every time I try to export the DNG file to JPEG It gets shrunken down to the point where I don't think it's going to be printable.  The DNG file is showing anywhere from 35 MB to 40 MB but export the file size for the JPEG is 3 MB? Can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated because I've never had my photos used for an exhibit. I normally export through Lightroom, but maybe I should be using Photoshop?

Since yesterday, Adobe Lightroom Classic suddenly started freezing whenever I click "Copy Settings" in the Develop module (or in the Library module). Normally, a dialog window opens with a checklist of the desired development settings. The only way I can quit Lightroom is via the Task Manager. I'm completely at a loss as to what's causing it. I've updated my NVIDIA graphics card driver and also disabled the respective graphics card support as a test. I'm especially surprised that the problem occurred for no apparent reason and in the middle of my work, and apparently can't be resolved!   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules. A ‘bug’ is not just a fancy word for any software problem! It’s defined as a coding error that makes the application behave in a way that was not intended by the developer.]

I don't know what is causing this, but after an import in LR Classic, metadata are missing, text shows the word "working ..." (cf JPEG image) and the only solution is a restart. I already searched and saw some suggestions for a fix, but nothing works.I use the lastest version of Lightroom classic, my OS is W10 pro. I always import RAW files -> DNG. of 12, 16, 20 mbytes.Any help would be much appreciated.Jos

JPEG XL files with the ProPhoro RGB color space exported from Lightroom contain color compression artifacts. They appear in quality 100% and lower. Other color spaces do not have this problem.   Lightroom version 13.3.1 Windows 11 23H2 version 22631.3593

I've been using LR Classic for years now. When I set it up, I established my 'home' for it on my Mac's Pictures folder. Macintosh HD / users / <my name> / pictures. At this folder, I have a Lightroom folder, which contains my lightroom catalogs, backups, and old lightroom catalogs folders. My default folder for imports is Macintosh HD / users / <my name> / pictures / Photos_LR. I back up locally with Time Machine, and I back up via two cloud services - iCloud (plenty of storage available), and Backblaze. Since iCloud backups only support the Destop and Documents folders (not Pictures, downloads, etc), it makes sense that I should migrate my LR catalog(s) and image library to a subfolder under /Documents, so I have a local backup and a cloud-based backup. So ... is this as simple as a drag and drop in Finder? Or are there layers of settings that also need to be modified?  Withing LRC, I can see that my catalog is where I know it to be

HI Everyone, I have a dumb question.   I had some files on a drive on a laptop that I imported into my temporary laptop LR catalog while I was away on a shoot just to see them.  I have all my LR catalogs to do some sharpening and lens profile adjustment on import.   When I got home I grabbed the same files that had been imported on that drive and copied them to my home hard drive.  Then I imported them into my home hard drive LR catalog which is also set up to do sharpening.    Did I just double sharpen my files?  Or if I look at the slider should that amount of sharpening include 'all' of the sharpening that has been done to the files?   If I had done anything else to those files, would those adjustments have come over as well?   I've done quite a bit of work to these and would hate to have to start over but I do have all the original cards.   Thanks!   Thanks!   Mac Sequoia 15.5 LR 14.3.1 PS 26.7.0

I cannot download and pictures that i have edited using lightroom mobile to LRC.I have 11 sitting there syncing but nothing happens.  there are no errors that I can find and edits sync fine as well as collections.I have no idea how to resolve this.  please help!! lrc 14.3.1Mac 15.5

 Lightrom Classic, current version (updated 6 days ago) keeps essentially acting as if the files are offline, yet allows full editing in develop mode. Essentially, I can go through and edit an entire project as normal, but when I go to export, the hotkey is unresponsive and the options are greyed out. This is also the case with "edit in PS", AI denoise, and metadata things I don't use. It doesn't show "file offline" or anything indicating that and I can click "show in finder" and it confirms everything is online. The issue is fixed upon restarting LR, until I go edit more stuff and try and export.  And while I'm here, it's not updating star ratings in the filmstrip at the bottom. This was a bug in the last version, it seemed to be fixed for a few days in this version, but now is back.  

Hallo,bei einem Freund von mir ist folgendes passiert: Er hat einen Katalog mit Reisefotos, darunter Bilder aus Südamerika. Nun will er die Fotos hieraus in einen Amerika-Katalog ablegen.Also: Sammlung im Reise-Katalog erstellt und dort alle Südamerika-Fotos gesammelt. Diese als Katalog exportiert und in dem Amerika-Katalog importiert.Alles perfekt. Als nächstes wollte er die Fotos, die auf einer externen SSD liegen, in sein NAS ziehen. Ich habe ihm empfohlen, dies innerhalb von Lightroom Classic zu machen und nicht im Finder. Er hat das dann beherzigt und nach dem Verschieben von knapp 5.000 Fotos merkte er, dass die Anzahl der Fotos in LR korrekt ist - aber jedes Foto mit einem Ausrufezeichen versehen wird. Auf der externen SSD waren die BIlder und Ordner nicht mehr vorhanden - aber im NAS auch nicht - lediglich die Ordner wurden dort durch das Verschieben angelegt. Nun scheinen 5.000 Fotos nicht mehr auffindbar - so, als wären die beim Verschieben auf der Strecke gebl

I've used the denoise feature for a long time now, it has always worked great.  Right now it was taking over 5 minutes to complete one image in 14.3, when it normally took 10-20 seconds. So I decided to update to 14.4 (I know that it no longer generates another file), but it does not complete the process in the indicated time. Is this just momentarily broken? Can I do anything to fix this on my end?

Hello. I have opened up my LRC, all my pregviously purchased presets are still in it but the brushes are missing. If I go into settings and choose Show all other lighttoom prestets-lightroom-local adjustment brushes....They are still all inthre. I treid to reinstall them, replace them, still once closing the LRC and reopening, getting a brush tool then go to the custom ...they are not there.   If I go back to an older catalog, they are there again.... Any idea? Thank you!  

Hey all, I've been using LR for a while, but can't seem to export GPS coordinates with jpgs. I don't know what I am doing wrong here. Quick run-down:- I'm importing iPhone raw photos with GPS data to LR.- LR Map shows them even at the right spot.- When I export jpgs, the GPS info's gone.- Doing the same with Apple photos works great, but can't edit there. Anyone got a fix?

How do I change the GPS coordinates format in LRC? The default format is DDD° MM" SS.SS'which is fine I guess, but all of my other apps use the DD.DDDD format. I read earlier today that all that one needs to do is click the arrow to the right of the location metadata info. That doesn't work the format remains the same. Is there something I need to change in the preferences dialog?

so slow during import and export! have the latest updat, new computer . im attaching my specs

I have a very simple user script in Lightroom. It decreases exposure by 0.05. local LrDevelopController = import "LrDevelopController" local value = LrDevelopController.getValue("Exposure") LrDevelopController.setValue("Exposure", value - 0.05)  When I call the script by clicking in the User script menu, it gets applied instantly.  In macOS "Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcut > App Shortcuts > Adobe Lightroom Classic", I setup a dedicated keyboard shortcut ("ctrl+opt+command+shift+E" but it could be anything). When I call the same user script via its shortcut in the Develop module, the photo (not the UI) goes black for more or less 1 second before being displayed with the adjustment. Can you please help me fix this? Machine:Macbook M2 ProSequoia 15.5 (but issue was already present months ago)RAM 16GbLightroom Classic 14.3.1 (but issue was already present months ago)

Hi all, I have a Lenovo laptop and have just bought a SSD. I am wanting to use my SSD for lightroom and to important my photos to from my SD card to my SSD, so that it doesn't take up storage on my laptop. How do I do this please?

I downloaded LR 14.4 a few days ago and edited a couple hundred pictures. i use a 14 TB hard drive at home. I am now travelling and use a smaller 2TB drive which I then copy tomy home hard drive, and when I tried to open LR it couldn't find a version 14 catalogue. I looked on my computer's hard drive and the only catalogues are for version 13.3. Since LR doesn't recognize older catalogue versions I'm kind of stuck. Should I create a new catalogue for the trip and when I get home try to merge the old 13.3 version with the new 14 version, or can I update the version 13.3 catalogue to new version 14 catalogue, if so how? Or is there another solution? Thank you for your helpMarty

LRC 14.3 Windows 11 Denoise not working on ORF file - shows rotated partial negative image of photo and all options blanked out  and message "enhance cannot be applied to the selected photo".  It worked on 14.2  so this has to be a new bug. Please fix ASAP!

Masks are not "sticking". Meaning I'll have a mask on the photo and then I'll get the error in this screenshot. The problem is that the update doesn't actually stay. If I check again later on (sometimes a few minutes sometimes the next day) it says the same thing. This happens when I select objects/backgrounds/subjects  Version 14 (although it was happening on 13.5, I just updated to 14 to try again). MacOS 14.6.1 (23G93)

Hello! Since updating to 14.3.1, whenever I edit a photo in PS (I'm using Beta, 26.9.0, which I used before with no issue), close and save, instead of saving it into the original folder in LR, it creates a new folder at the main root with the same name as the original folder and puts it in there. For example, currently editing: 2025>2025-06-07 Ally and Mike Edited an image in Photoshop, closed and saved, it took me back into the above folder but the edited one was no where to be found. So I looked over under "folders" and there was a new folder listed on my HD:2025-06-07 Ally and Mike With 1 image in it: the edited file.This is a problem becauseA.) I just want the edited file to go into the original folder, like it always did andB.) If I try to temporarily rectify it by dragging the edited file into the original folder, I get the error "this file already exists at that location" even though it does NOT exist. I know this because it has been named something differ
