Lightroom Classic

I see that Adobe metadata can be compared (where it makes sense).  For example, I can create a Smart Collection where the criterion is "Long Edge > 1000" or "Shutter speed < 1/1000". I am writing a pluging that creates custom metadata that is a number.  The only data types are string, enumeration, and url.  I would love to have a number type, but that is not in the cards.  If I have a string-type metadata field that represents a number, how can I get the comparison criterion such as is available with Shutter Speed?  Is it that Adobe has secret sauce for its own metadata?

Hello, my nikon d7200 has two memory card slots. Thae camera is configured to store raw files in slot 1 and jpg in slot 2. With the "Nikon Transfer2" app i can select the slot (card) wich is used to transfer the images. The Windows explorer also brings up two devices when connecting the Camera.With Lightroomclassic there seems to be no way to select the camera slot during import dialoge. So Lightroom imports all imgiges twice: one Raw, ans one Jpg. Can lightroom classic select the camea device slot in such way as Windows and the Nikon App does? that would be very helpful! Regardsmikel

I downloaded 1 TB of images using LrC. At the time I only owned 1 external SSD so I could not create a back up. I do wish to place a copy of all the images on another SSD, as a backup.I do not want to transfer the images from the current SSD that the images are stored on, but make a copy of the images onto a different SSD. I do want to be able to access and process the backup images using LrC, should I need to.How do I manage to achieve this using Lightoom Classic for the copying process? Your help, as always, is so very appreicated. 

I have an Epson 3880 printer. I use Lightroom CC. I bought a new computer (Windows 11). The printer was previously used on a Windows 10 machine. There is no updated driver from Epson. Thankfully I had kept the installation cd that came with the printer years ago and installed the printer in Windows 11 with it. Now the printer won't recognize printer profiles that I have downloaded from Epson (it did on the Windows 10 machine). The printer Media Type dropdown only shows the papers that are included with the installation disc. All of the profiles are listed in the Color Management section in the Print module in Lightroom. All the icc profiles are in the same folder on the computer. The paper profiles that are missing are for the Legacy papers from Epson. Any help to make the printer dialogue see the profiles would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have 2000 virtual copies created and selected.In the Library -> Metadata panel I change the Copy name.Normally this would rename all 2000 virtual copies. This always worked.However in Lightroom  14.4 only the most selected virtual copy is rename, the rest is not renamed. System infoLightroom Classic version: 14.4 [ 202506051112-5918896a ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: enOperating system: Windows 10 - Business EditionVersion: 10.0.19045Application architecture: x64System architecture: x64Logical processor count: 20Processor speed: 2,1GHzSqLite Version: 3.36.0CPU Utilisation: 1,0%Power Source: Plugged InBuilt-in memory: 32581,4 MBDedicated GPU memory used by Lightroom: 76,0MB / 12110,0MB (0%)Real memory available to Lightroom: 32581,4 MBReal memory used by Lightroom: 6872,3 MB (21,0%)Virtual memory used by Lightroom: 7591,1 MBGDI objects count: 741USER objects count: 2337Process handles count: 4407Memory cache size: 7737,6MBInternal Camera Raw version: 17.4 [ 227

I have got Photoshop 23, 24 and 25 on my MAC. When I am in Lightroom and want to edit in Photoshop, using the 'Edit in' button, it takes me to Photoshop 2023. How can I change this so it takes me to the 2025 version? Thanks for any advice

Hi!  After losing a hard drive to a spilled cup of coffee (thankfully, not a single file lost), I just upgraded to new M1 MacBook Air with Big Sur 11.1.  I have Lightroom Classic version 10.1 installed and working well, except when I backup the catalog to my Synology NAS as I close out of Lightroom, it hangs on the backup at "Copying Catalog".  I've let it run for hours and nothing.    If I backup to the local SSD everything works great.  Lightroom has no issues accessing the NAS for import and access to the original raw files that I keep on the NAS.  It does seem to start the backup as the NAS will show the dated folder along with the Catalog.lcat file and lrcat-wal file, but it never zips and completes the process.  I found a post that suggested giving Lightroom access to Full Disk, which I've tried, but that didn't seem to make any difference.   I've been manually copying the backups to the NAS without issue, but really want this to work

Estoy barado en la versión 14.1.1 de Lightroom Classic, ya que en todas las versiones posteriores el Módulo Mapa no funciona.

I can no longer import photos into LR classic. The folders on my external drive are not displayed in LR.I use Imac macOs Sonoma 14.7. 5I have already restarted LR and iMac but no solution  

I've been working with watermarks on Lightroom Classic., 14.2, Windows 10pro, Version 22H2.  I've found that for several fonts the watermark program cuts off the last letter or two       of my name; specifically Edwardian Script font and French Script font. Even after shifting the watermark to the left to create more space, I get the same result. When I use the Brush Script font there is not a problem.  I haven't found a way to correct it.   Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi, I use LR Publish Services to upload images to my website via a program called Backlight.  It has worked perfectly for years.  Each gallery on my website has its own collection in LR.  For some unknown reason, I recently discovered that most or all of the images in most of these Publisher Services collections disappeared.  The files are still on my hard drives and still in other LR collections.  (I looked at my oldest LR backup, and the problem happened before that, so no luck there.)  The integrity check passes and shows no issues. Can anyone here suggest a reason why images would randomly disappear from collections in Publish Services while all other collections remain intact? Thank you!

Hallo... seit Update auf die Version 14.4 funktioniert in meinem LR Classic die KI Entrausch Funktion nicht mehr. Sie startet und zeigt sofort Fehlermeldungen an. Ich nutze Mac OSX 15.5 auf einem Macbook Pro 2025 M4. Diese Version scheint fehlerhaft zu sein. Nette Grüße

I have .mov files and .jpg files that have the same file name BUT these files are from different dates, different cameras, obviously one is a movie and one is a picture. I imported my aperature library into LC.Somehow, when LC was importing my photos and videos from Aperature, it has combined any .mov file with the matching named .jpeg file. So if I have a .mov named IMG_6700 and a .jpeg named IMG_6700 it has moved both files into the Lightroom media folder on the OS but in the program all I can see is the .mov file.  The .mov file then has a name over the thumbnail that says IMG_6700 MOV + JPEG and in the metadata it says there is a Sidecar File  that is a JPG. Also it has applied the capture date information of the jpeg (which is a different date) and applied that to the .mov file.  When I try to import the .jpeg file when I select the import folder, LC doesn't even see the .jpg file even though it is there when I go through the OS. If I physically

Hi, Only started playing around with the new denoise feature yesterday. It's unbelievable. However, I stumbled across a slight problem. I merged a panorama of about 7 images, all DNG no edit on them. Didn’t apply the auto settings from the panorama either. So that spits out a new DNG image for me, but doesn't want to run the AI denoise on it. I get that some formats won't work, as well as compressed DNGs etc etc. Am I wrong to assume all the necessary data is in the panorama to run the AI denoise?    Would love to know why it won't work.

I used LR Classic 14.4 yesterday, no problem, now it won't start.  I tried uninstalling, reboot, reinstalling and it still won't start.  I have the latest version of Win 11 Pro on my PC.   Any ideas?

Problem with the following lens: Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG DN OS Sport (EAN: 0085126747695) on Lumix s5 II. Both lens and firmware are the newest, LR is the newest. LR thinks that lens make is Panasonic 150-160. There's probably a bug in EXIF from this camera or in lens?  The EXIF data for this lens is (output from exiftool):Lens Type : 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS | Sports 021 Lens Model : 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS | Sports 021 Lens ID : 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS | Sports 021 Lens Firmware Version : 0.1.3.0 Lens Type Model : 2f 60 As we can see in "150-600mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS | Sports 021" there is no make, and the lens make is also empty (it is usually empty also for other cameras).  I think LR needs to adjust the matching patterns. It is very annoying that I have to change make from Panasonic to Sigma and find the correct lens on the list (and I'm not even sure if it is exactly the one over there - I have to choose very similar one 150-600). I can add

I am running Windows 11 and LR Classic Version 13.2. My video card is an nvidia GeForce RTX 3060. Device Manager shows both the nvidia and an Intel UHD Graphics 630 which I assume is the built in video card? nvidia has the most recent Studio Driver installed. Preferences from LRC show Use Graphics Processor as off and the option to turn on or make auto, is not available. There is also a message that Graphics processor acceleration is not supported by your system. System Info says:as well, Dedicated GPU memory used by Lighroom shows as zero. So that begs the question:Is this particular video card simply not supported by Lightroom to use the Graphics Processor and there is nothing I can change to make it supported? Thanks, Bob  

I am on a 2019 Mac Pro. I have 3 graphics cards installed: 1 AMD Radeon PRO W66002 AMD Radeon RX 6900 XTs. The 6600 is used for my monitor, the 6900s are used for their processing power (3D rendering, etc.). My understanding is that Lightroom Classic can only use the graphics card that the monitor is plugged into. That being the case, I switch my monitor over to a 6900 when I work in Lightroom, so that I can take advantage of the superior horsepower for things like AI settings. However, when I plug my monitor into either 6900, Lightroom ignores it and continues processing on the 6600. This is true even after restarting Lightroom. It will only process on the 6900s if I remove my 6600 from the machine entirely. The 6900s are significantly more powerful and process AI settings in half the time, but my GPU setup works very well for the rest of my workflow, so removing the 6600 permanently is not an option. This is the latest version of Lightroom Classic and macOS 1

After uploading images to a API web service I get a stream of information back.I want to create a modal dialog where the information processed by the API is shown.So there needs to be:a text area where the information text returned is updated as more info is returned.I want the currently processed image shown, but in time, this image should be refreshed by the next image being processed. Receiving streaming information seems to be difficult, I want to implement pagination in the API and call from the Lightroom SDK this API every x seconds. Questions: Is there a way to keep on adding information to a modal dialog?Probably the solution with f:scrolled_view with adding rows could work, but this requires the refresh the dialog at an interval and is not niceIs there a way to show the image being processed along the text area from bullit 1.And the image should be changed as the API returns information of a different image.So somekind of slideshow in the modal dialogAny other i

Recently purchased a new computer. all photos were copied from old computer to new computer, along with the catalog files, and placed in the Pictures folder with all of the subfolder hierarchy intact.  The only issue was that in LR synch preferences, the folder indicated was not the correct folder; So I changed it to the correct folder i.e. Pictures/Iphone.  (It's named that way because I sync all my iphone photos into LR mobile, and then from there to the iphone folder in LRC).  It was at that point that I made the error of telling LR to transfer the photos. It happily transferred the photos from the correct subfolders into the top level Iphone directory.  Argh! My thought is to delete (actually I will just move them to a separate folder until I have confirmed that everything is good) all of the photos which are in the Iphone top level directory (which should not have any photos in it) ; I need to know if when LR synch runs again it will pi

I have been using LR classic with Topaz for several month without a problem.  Now, suddenly, to see my edits, I have to toggle to Library Mode.Please help!

I normally use the EXIF {serial number} value found in [Import] >  [Rename files] > [Custom settings] > [edit] > [Filename template editor].  This value is populated for every other brand of camera I have used (Fuji, Panasonic, Olympus, Canon, Nikon) but not for Sony.  ExifTool.exe shows the serial numbers are all located in the same "Internal Serial Number" EXIF field in the raw image data on all the cameras including the Sony. Why does Lightroom not recognize the Sony serial number during the rename process?

I am trying to import photos into a specified folder on a Mac. Its a new Mac and I have given Lightroom Classic access to files and folders. My structure is users/<name>/pictures/<year>/<date>It used to work when I imported pictures it would add the year if it couldn't find it and then put the dates and pics in that folder. When I look at the folders listing under Library view I see that structure. When I import now it is creating the year under the Mac HD and not the Users/<name>/Pictures structure. I have set the destination on import to the correct directory but it keeps putting it in the wrong place. I had to turn on file sharing in order to see the directory structure in the import settings as well. Have no idea what is going on.

Hello everyone, have you updated Lightroom? they changed the denoise application mode and, after removing the noise, if I move the photo into Photoshop it doesn't keep the change 🥲 does it happen to you too? before the update, after applying denoise lightroom made a copy of the photo in DNG, now it doesn't anymoreI read online that you have to click on a new button at the top that tells you the AI ​​changes made and click update, but even if I do that it still doesn't keep the change in photoshop 😭
