Lightroom Classic

I have a folder called Photographs on a drive with all subfolders. That main folder used to show up and I could right clic, create a new folder inside, then import. The Photos folder is no longer there.Am I missing something obvious? It's been awhile. Sequoia 15.4.1M1 Mac     

I am using Lightroom Classic for a while and after latest Lightroom Update if I select Auto or Custom in Edit>Preferences>Use graphic processor then Lightroom will freeze or crash a few second after I open it or start edit photos. My system is: Mainbaord: Asus Tuf Gaming 650m-plus CPU: AMD Ryzen 7700X RAM 64GB Windows 11 64XDrivers and Windows are all up to dates I have done steps below: 1- Restarted machine 2- Tried to update all drivers include GPU, mainbaord and Windows 3- Disabled the built in GPU (It get worse and start lagging from begining and then crash) 4- Reinstalled Lightroom 5- Reinstalled Lightroom on another partition 6- Increased the cache to 100GB 7- Use smart preview instead of originals for image editing ticked and unticked both the same 8- Generate preview in parallel ticked and unticked both the same 9- By disabling the "Use graphic processor" then it will work and I think it's usi

In the video instructions “work with lightroom CC on multiple computers” they gave the impression that images on my main PC also will also be accessible  on my second pc.However, in the comment on the faq’s about synchronization in Lightroom Classic, they mention that only images that are part of a  collection  are visible and editable on different computers… ?My question is:  can I access and edit the images that are stored in my NAS drive om my 2 different computers even when they are not part of  a  collection?   And if that is possible, how should I synchronize these images in lightroom classic?

Thank you for the update to Classic 14.3.1. However, since this update, which I did half an hour ago, I've been unable to export any images. When I hit the export button in the export dialogue, all that happens is the final action, which is opening a Finder is executed.

Hi! Is Lightroom Classic already fully compatible with macOS Sequoia? Thank you!   

Bonjour, Les Collections ont disparu du menu Bibliothèque, il n'y a plus que les Dossiers et les Services de publication.Dans le menu Développement je retrouve mes Collections mais les Dossiers ont disparu.Est-ce un bogue, une évolution du logiciel (actuellement 14,3) ou un réglage ?   Hello,The Collections have disappeared from the Library menu, there are now only the Folders and Publishing Services.In the Development menu I find my Collections but the Folders have disappeared.Is this a bug, a software upgrade (currently 14.3) or a setting?Merci !   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

Hello,I don't understand why Library menu (here Bibliothèque in french) is cut on the left. Even after removing/reinstalling LrC... Does anyone have an idea why and how to make it appear properly? Working on up to date MacOS Sequoia 15.4.3 M3 MBA, also not depending on LrC version (bug there before and after last update) Thanks a lot! 

Needing to manually move my mouse back and forth from an image I'm working on to enable and disable the "Use Generative AI" checkbox is a waste of time. Seeing as how this is a feature that shouldn't be used all the time for tiny spot remove, it should be easier to disable and re-enable with a keystroke. I do this often from image to image and while working within one image. Enabling and disabling this feature is one of the most often things I do within the remove tool that doesn't already have a shortcut. It's also a tiny box to click, which adds to the time waste as it has to be accurately clicked on.Also, it now doesn't appear to be possible to change a brush strokes using "Use Generative AI" to normal "Remove" after painting but before clicking "Generate". Sometimes I will begin painting with the remove brush, not remembering that "Use Generative AI" is checked. However, I realize that it's not needed for a small correction and the wait time for the AI to work is unnecessary for th

I keep my Lightroom catalogs and RAW files on external drives. I then export a version of the catalog with smart previews to my editor so she can finish the edits I start. In the interim of waiting on her edits to come back, my drive has malfunctioned/ died. I have an exact replica of the drive (thanks to carbon copy cloner). When I download the edited Lightroom catalog from my editor of smart previews, how do I link this with the new RAW files source folder on the replica drive?! Is this possible? 

When using masks, I often see an orange/red dot under the mask tool icon indicting that I need to update the masks. I then have to hunt through the various masks I've created to find the masks that need updating. Sometimes there's several, and sometimes not all of them need updating. Each one requires several clicks and it turns into a scavenger hunt. There should be a simple "Update All Masks" button as soon as you enter the mask tool. The way it works now is a befundling time waste in an application that's focused on batch processing. This change can't come soon enough. Thanks!

Not sure what's going on here.  I've never found LrC to be super fast with how it handles importing photos but it's gotten a lot worse lately.  While playing around with an import tonight I was getting 50 MB/s for the transfer speed.  Taking the same folders and importing them with windows explorer: >600 MB/s.  I can't seem to find what I've done for this to happen. CF Express cards via thunderbolt card reader, Windows 10, LrC 14.3. Here's the kicker. I'm not sure this is just a LrC issue. I tried using Photo Mechanic and am getting similar speeds. Thoughts?

I have cancelled my subscribtion at 15th January (the last day of free trial) but  money was taken a  moment later. How can I get my money back? any email adress to contact Adobe? 

Hi, I’d like to report a bug in Lightroom Classic related to the masking overlay. When using the brush tool within a mask, the red overlay initially shows as expected. However, after a short while of editing, the overlay suddenly disappears — even though the "Show Overlay" option is still enabled. Here are some additional observations:Pressing "O" to toggle the overlay does not bring it back.Duplicating the mask temporarily restores the overlay, but it disappears again shortly afterThis happens inconsistently, but regularly.Changing the overlay color and verifying all view modes makes no difference.

Odd behavior with Wacom Intuos Pro in the masks panel. Clicking on SUBJECT and LR does not respond unless I lift my palm totally off the tablet. Works perfectly fine in Photoshop Camera Raw. Also works fine using the mouse in both LR and PS. Wacom support unable to determine resolution. Tablet remapped to a small area. Touch is OFF.Windows Ink on or off makes no difference.Wacom driver uninstalled and reinstalled. Windows 11 up to date.Any ideas?

I am having a lot of issues with Lightroom Classic after recenty upgrading to 14.2.  It frequently crashes or gives me errors about files not being found or corrupt. The errors are inconsistent and go away after restarting Lightroom only to occur later with a different photo. If I reboot my computer I get few or no errors.   It could be that my catalog is corrupted, however:* Integrity check reports no errors * Optimise reports no errors (and optimise bascially rewrites the catalog so corruptions shouldn't get through) * The upgrade to 14.2 (from 13.x) also rewrote the catalog so corruptions shouldn't get through.   My catalog is quite large (46GB) and I wonder if it is causing some memory issues which might be why it works better after just rebooting the computer.   Could it be bugs in 14.2?   The computer is a Mac mini with Apple M2 Pro, 32GB of memory, 2TB SSD with 450GB of free space (i.e. >20%). The catalog is on the SSD but the photo files are on an ex

For some reason the function to create a Virtual Copy is grayed out in the menu. I used this just yesterday without problem. What can be the reason?Macbook Pro with M1, updated OS and lightroom classic. 

Hi,I do my processing on a Windows 11 PC that has 64GB Ram and has a 13th gen i7 processor running at 3.4GHz and a couple of ProArt monitors. I have LRC 14.3 with camera raw 17.3 installed. I am finding LRC is very slow so I have been using Bridge, but I would like to go back to LRC. Often I will be applying a mask and the machine does not respond for a while to show the overlay and seems to be continuosly whiring the hard drive. Has anyone had an issue with LRC being slow and managed to get it running again at acceptable speed? Can you please share any LRC or Windows settings that help. Thanks  

Bonjour, Je n'ai pas ouvert lightroom depuis des années. Seulement quand je l'ouvre ça me dit que j'ai plus de 4500 photos dessus (que je ne retrouve plus ailleurs dans aucune carte sim ou disque dur). Ca me dit que le fichier est introuvable... Y a t il moyen de els récupérer s'il vous plait? Vous êtes mon dernier espoir .Il y a écrit disque C avec un point d'interrogation. Cela signifie que je les aurais enregistrées à cet endroit et qu'elles n'y sont plus maintenant? (Je ne me souviens pas avoir supprimé de photos mais ce serait possible en me disant que je les avait peut-être ailleurs).Il me dit de faire la mise à jour. Je suis en train d'essayer mais ça rame sévère. Pensez vous que cela pourrait aider?  Je vous remercie par avance même si j'ai peu d'espoir 😞

At this link entitled "Lightroom Classic 14.2 release is now available" (which is locked, so I can't post there) I click on the link and right near the top it says "What's New In the Update". I click on that link and I am taken to the what's new in Lightroom Classic 14.3. The "What's New" for 14.2 is nowhere to be foudn. Similarly there doesn't appear to be a "What's New" for 14.1 either.

I have an issue that whenever I go into the profile browser or try and use an adaptive preset LrC immediately crashes. The same thing happens when going into the profile browser in Camera Raw. I have the latest versions installed (fresh install) and my Computer has the latest drivers. Another thing that happens and might be connected to this issues is that when I try to use AI masks it says "some AI masks need to be updated" yet when I hit update nothing happens and the masks just don't work at all. Any help would be appreciated since this makes the program close to unusable for me.. Here are my system infos:Lightroom Classic version: 14.3 [ 202504141032-10373aad ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: enOperating system: Windows 11 - Home Premium EditionVersion: 11.0.26100Application architecture: x64System architecture: x64Logical processor count: 8Processor speed: 3,3GHzSqLite Version: 3.36.0CPU Utilisation: 1,0%Power Source: Plugged InBuilt-in memory: 32304,5 MBDedicated GPU

I'm using LrC on Windows.  have a couple of internal SSD drives and a couple of external USB HDDs.  The external drives are only there for backups.  The backups run automatically each night.  The HDDs are normally in "sleep" mode.  They'll wake up when accessed, but that initital access is very slow as they come to life.  That's no problem at all for the backup. The issue is with LrC import.  When I click on the Import button, LR wants to show me every possible drive and have me select the one from which I want to import.  That means it pings the external drives, and I have to wait about 30 seconds for the list of drives to show up.  But I will NEVER want to select one of the external drives.  What I'd love to do is to configure LR, essentially tell it this:  I'll only ever want to import from my F: drive (CFexpress reader) or my C: drive, so only show me those.  Ignore any other drive letter and don't even try to scan it

I'm having some issues with LR classic and I can't tell if it's a bug or an issue with my catalog. I suspect the catalog but wanted to check here.   I'm running LR classic 14.3 on Windows 11 Home v24H2 on a one year old Lenovo Legion 5 Pro. My catalog has about 139K images in it; the catalog file is about 2.5 GB. I back up the catalog regularly, including testing integrity and optimizing - no recent integrity issues found.    Here are the issues I'm noticing: When I add color labels or star ratings, it takes a long time (>1 minute) for it to tint the cell or show the stars in the expanded cells. The label and rating shows up in the image metadata viewer in the right panel. When I close the catalog, it frequently (but not always) says it is still writing metadata changes to xmp, even if I haven't done much (or even sometimes when all I've done is navigate, no develop or metadata changes at all). When I close the catalog, it takes a looong time for the app to actually

Bonjour,   Je rencontre un problème avec Lightroom Classic 13.3. Lors de la copie et du collage de paramètres d'une photo à une autre, si un masque a été créé via l'IA (sélection du sujet ou sélection de personne), l'IA rencontre un bug et ne parvient pas à trouver les personnes. Un message d'erreur s'affiche : "Certains masques IA doivent être mis à jour".   Je suis obligé de redémarrer Lightroom et soit de créer le masque manuellement (sans copier-coller les paramètres), soit de retenter le collage des paramètres, ce qui fonctionne une fois sur deux.

With recent upgrade of LRC Mac, this is Mac Studio, 2022 running on latest macOS, select object, select sky, radio, gradient, etc., blur the selected area. I tried on another computer with an older version of LRC and I didn't see the problem. Anyway, to fix this?   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]
