Lightroom Classic

I having difficulties with the brightness of my images when I go between LR library and LR develop. The images become significantly darker when I go to develop then return to the original quality when I go back into library. I'm not sure why this is happening. Does anyone else have this problem?

When I import/add new files into Lightroom Classic 14.5 I cant see the thumbnails so I can import. I have tried the following and have had no success:-upgrade Lightroom Classic to 14.5-moving possibly corrupted [CatalogName] Previews.lrdata file to a new location and restarting Lightroom to force it to rebuild the preview cache. -checking permissions on my hard drive and external drive (both have read write access)-granting Lightroom Classic full disc access-restarting my computer and Lightroom Classic after each attempt above-simplifying import to a few files on my desktop Note: the files/folders I have previously work on in Lightroom Classic will not show a preview in the import / add window either. I have not had this problem on my old computer using Lightroom Classic. Looking for some help. Thank you indavnce.    

What's the recommended way to move from an Intel Mac to a new M4 Mac?  I use Lightroom Classic and Photoshop.  Should I just tell Apple's Migration Assistant to move all my data and apps over along with everything else that's moving to the new computer?  Do I then "reinstall" LrC and PS on top to get fresh binaries?  The new M4 Mac will replace the Intel one so everything is coming over. Thanks. 

I have some parametric curve settings that I like and that I use quite often (for some I even made some presets).I would like to use the same settings (or very similar) in local adjustements, where only point curves are available.Is there any way to convert the parametric curve into point curves to do so?

LrC 14.3 doesn't find either of my cameras when attempting to tether.Apple M3 Max with MacOS 15.3.1, LrC 14.3, Canon R5 Firmware 2.1.0.Computer/cable/camera works for both cameras using the Canon EOS Utility 3.I tried all of the ideas presented in the Adobe document https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/kb/troubleshoot-tethered-capture-lightroom.html  but that didn't help.Another post sugested removing a Nikon Plugin, but I didn't have that plugin.Seems to be a LrC problem. Would love to be able to tether directly to LrC instead of using EOS Utility.Any other ideas?

Hello Adobe Lightroom Team,I am new to this community, but I have been working with Lightroom Classic in my wedding photography workflow. One challenge I face every day is that there is no auto-straighten option directly in the Crop module.For wedding work, horizons and straight lines are very important, but unlike architectural photography (where we use Transform), in weddings we constantly need quick horizon corrections. Every time I crop, I have to manually adjust, because the camera angle naturally shifts from 11 o’clock to 1 o’clock during shooting, rarely staying perfectly at 12 o’clock.Is there an existing feature I may be missing, or is it truly not available? If not, I would strongly suggest adding this as an important feature request, an automatic horizon straightening (based on image analysis) inside the Crop tool. It would save a huge amount of time for event photographers.Thank you for considering this. I would love to know if others in the community also need this.Best re

I have the same issues in Lightroom classic 14.5 and with macOS 15.6.1.Cant mark images wit labels, stars and so on.How can I fix this?

When I initially subscribed to the Photography plan, I got a small 3.21 MB installer that automatically downloaded the latest version of Adobe Lightroom Classic then installed Creative Cloud which is fine. I lost that installer, now when I downloaded the installer, it defaults to installing Adobe Lightroom (not the classic version) so I am having to uninstall it then install Lightroom Classic. I contacted customer service via the online chat and they gave me a link to Adobe Lightroom Classic v14.0 the offline installer but that is not the latest as now we are on version 14.5.1. I need that online installer which downloads Lightroom Classic not the regular cloud based Lightroom. Please help

Hi everybody!I have been using Lightroom for over 10 years. On my old laptop with Intel Core i7 4720HQ, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M and 16 GB RAM, the screen was always slow when I zoomed in or out of the LR window and you could clearly see the individual parts of LR building up.Now I have a brand new PC: AMD Ryzen 9950x, NVIDIA RTX 5070, 96 GB RAM. I assumed that everything would just load smoothly. It does, but not with LR Classic! GPU is activated in the settings of LR. Why is that?  

Since upgrading to 14.5 today, the "down arrow" key in Compare mode has regressed.  Very frustrating, completely disrupts my preferred workflow.   Open a folder with >few images Expand the film strip (so you can see the selection later) "C" for compare mode (Not broken - demo:) Use Right and Left arrow keys to advance the candidate (Not broken - demo:) Use the Up arrow key to promote the candidate Use the Down arrow key to swap selection/candidate - THEN: Press Right arrow key twice   Actual behavior: 3 photos are selected (wrong behavior) Henceforth, Left/Right arrow keys can only toggle between the 3 selected photos. (Compare mode only works when 2 photos are selected, as has always been the case) Up arrow key no longer work at all ("Bonk" sound plays indicating invalid input, no change to selection) Can't continue to use Compare mode   Workaround: you're stuck until you clear the selection (Cmd+D), or deselect all but the primary selection (Cmd+Shift+D). &

We're happy to announce the release of Lightroom Classic 14.5.1! This update includes bug fixes reported by the community, along with new cameras and lenses.

 Good evening, can anybody tell me how to get rid of this error - LrC could not update AI settings for these photos? I've tried updating AI settings, I tried the preset on a raw different picture, and restarted LrC as well. Updated the app and still doesn't work. any help would be appreciated. Thank you! 

Hey, just got a DJI Air3s which has a 24mm and a 70mm lens.  When taking with the 70mm lens, the photos import to LR just the same view as the 24mm lens.  On the preview import view though you can see the difference in focal length.  when in develop mode though, it switches back to just the 24 mm view.I cant find any solutions to this anywhere.  The lenses are physical lenses and not digital zoom.  

Hi all! As you can see on the screenshots, I tried to remove an element in my picture, but it has gone all my image turned magenta with no reason. I tried the three tools and get the same result. Weird. Need to be fixed.

I do architectural type work and use the transform panel constantly. After this new 14.5 update, whenever I use the typical "vertical" or "auto" upright presets, the results are less than perfect most of the time. I believe something has changed with this update, and in my opinion it's much worse. It worked like a charm before, so if indeed I'm right and you changed the way it works, please....change it back!!

Boa tarde, Não consigo utilizar a opção remoção de ruído, nem a super-resolução. Na guia Editar > Preferências> Desempenho. Aparece a seguinte mensagem: A aceleração de gráficos está desativada devido a um erro. Mas no aplicativo da placa de vídeo, indica que está ativada, e tudo ok. Não sei mais o que faço. Até semana passada, a função funcionava bem.

Good evening, After having tried pretty much everything I could find or think of, I'm calling for help from the community, out of despair  Since LR 14.4, I barely can develop my pictures anymore: The Develop interface is very slow / lagging, The changes I try to apply seem to be queued, and executed with a massive lag, However, the changes I apply are applied instantaneously in the Navigation preview,Sometimes I *can* work at normal speed, does not last, Cropping tool will make the photo disappear from the Develop windows, until I switch pic, or tool, and then i will sometimes Switching pictures will make the processing lagging immediately, Switching pictures may display the new photos totally mis formed for few seconds All this symptoms come and go, I could not find a pattern (Not helping to troubleshooting)   The dev tools are lagging too: If I switch from Color to B&W: I keep seeing the Color Mixer If I switch back to Color, I keep seeing the B&W tools The folde

I've just installed a brand new Wacom Intuos tablet and I'm experiencing a strange issue where lightroom won't complete a function until I lift the pen up out of the hover zone. For example, clicking the left mouse on the image would normally zoom in instantly. When I tap the pen on the image the icon changes from a magnifier to a hand but the image isn't zoomed in. I have to lift the pen away from the tablet before the zoom happens.The same thing happens if I hit a keyboard shortcut such as "k" to create a new brush mask. If the pen is in the hover zone of the tablet nothing happens, I have to lift it up. This happens if Windows Ink is turned on or off.I'm running windows 11, all updates installed, all drivers up-to-date. Lightroom Classic 14.2Also worth noting everything is working correctly in Lightroom 8.2

I have presets that I use for sports, and all of the sudden they're turning my photos yellow in Adobe but when I export it turns out fine. How do I fix it? I'm on a Mac

I have spoken to at least ten agents at Adobe LC Support and no one has been able to resolve the issue of not being able to import photographs from my iPhone 16 Pro. I am, however, able to import from an SD card.    When connecting to the phone I am only able to see previews for some of the photographs. If I try to import them nothing happens and I usually have to Force Quit.   Support has elevated my case but no resolves have come. Promises to call me back have been ignored. My feeling is that the call center is pretty much useless for me in this instance and I wish that I could speak directly to someone in engineering.   ADOBE PLEASE HELP ME RESOLVE THIS ISSUE!!!   

When I open the crop tool in the develop module, I often have to wait 4-5 seconds before the tool appears.Using a new Mac Mini M4, and happens with Sony A1 files, Sony A9 mark 1, and Sony A7r3 files.Also happens on my 2017 iMac Pro.Any advice? Everything else runs smoothly, no lag. Literally just opening crop I have to wait, which is annoying because I need to crop/rotate every image.

I have been going in circles for days trying to figure out how this got out of sync. For years I have had a top folder by year and then imported into 'Originals' folder inside of each new shoot by date of shoot. But now, Lightroom is ignoring the top folder year and creating its own folder with its own date for last year being oblivious to where I am asking the new shoot to go.... into ready folders on disk. I have to come here and ask for help. I don't even know where to start as it seems I've tried everything and nothing is working. How can I get back to my old organized way of bringing in new files? Example screen shots for what they are worth.

The Save Metadata To File command doesn't always update a photo's metadata status to indicate it is Up To Date. To reproduce:   1. Download and open this catalog in LR: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/jokv9a8pfsdc2z0jrqlu5/save-metadat-bug.2024.05.25.zip?rlkey=z833g3ek2gghxouxzx3xx62jb&dl=0   2. In Library View > View Options > Grid View, check Cell Icons > Unsaved Metadata.   3. In the Library Filter bar, open the Metadata browser with the column Metadata Status.   4. Observe that all 32 photos have metadata status Has Been Changed as indicated in the Metadata browser and on the thumbnails.   5. Select all the photos and do Metadata > Save Metadata To File.   6. Observe that 32 photos remain with status Has Been Changed, and Finder / File Explorer show the files or their .xmp sidecards have their Date Modified set to "now", indicating that LR wrote the files (but I haven't tested if they've been written correctly).   Tested on LR 13.3
