LR 14.3.1 Camer Raw: 17.3 .1.   Mac OS 15.5Problem:  Import preset (Preferences > Presets tab) looses appled edits if .ARW raw file is converted to .DNG    Works fine if the file is imported as .ARW   This has occurred for about 1 year now but was not the case prior to that.  This occurs at import time if "copy as DNG" is select or if the file is converted to a DNG after import.   If I manually apply the preset in the Develop module to a .DNG it applies fine however I import different raw files from different cameras thus have different presets so this is labour intensive.  Be nice if it was fixed as it did work. I have attached the raw preset and    Raw file attached which will take the preset fine.  Converting it to DNG will loose the preset settings. Seems like a bug to me.  

Hello everyone. I stumbled upon a problem with Ai denoise thing. You see, it was working all right past months, and even last week, but today it decided to not generate new DNG (Ai denoised) pic. I click on "denoise" as always, choose reasonable amount of denoising, click "enhance", it shows that it's processing in top left corner as always, and then nothing. No denoised picture. Anywhere. Doesn't show any errors either, just generates it for ~30 seconds, and that's it. I'm stuck with undenoised pic. Any tips? Thank you!

Sorry for the vague term "whacko", but I think that is correct. I have seen multiple crashes while typing into the caption field, many instances of the text shown in the field being not at all what I typed, and different text displayed depending on whether the field is active for editing or not. In short, there are multiple incorrect behaviors that may be related. Hence, it is whacko. At this point I am restarting LrC about every 5 minutes due to crashes or serious anomalous behavior.  Any suggestions for a work around?  I can get a video of anomalous behavior if anyone cares. Bug report info: 1. LrC 13.2  2. macOS  14.3.1. 3. enter a a bunch of captions. I am working through a set of 60 images. I get maybe 2 or 3 in a row without problems. Then I have to restart. The text is simple English, only letters, space and simple punctuation (“.”, “,”). I have spell checking while typing turned on. The captions are probably less than 40 words. 4. I expect to see the text I

Hi All, Hoping you can help me out.  I recently tried to backup my LRC catalog on my Mac and it got stuck about halfway and stopped backing up.  The blue progress bar just stopped moving to the right.  When I force quit LRC, and tried to reopen it, it says the catalog is corrupt and cannot be repaired.  So, I switched to a backup catalog from a backup from 2 weeks ago and it opened just fine.  But when I backed it up immediately to test the backup, the blue bar got stuck again in the same spot and the process repeats.  I've done this twice now with my last 2 backups.  I have several more backups from farther back in time, but I'm afraid they will get corrupted as well if I use them.  Any ideas? Thanks 

Good afternoon, I've been having problems with GPU acceleration in Lightroom.When I enable graphics acceleration, when using masks, it gets slower.When I disable the graphics card, it gets faster.I've already replaced the graphics cards and the problem persists. I used an nvidia rtx 5060 TI 16 gigabytes I used an nvidia rtx 3060 12 gigabytes I used a radeon rx 7600 16 gigas The problem occurs with these 3 graphics cards. The system I have is the following: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X 16-Core Processor 4.30 GHz Asus tuf Gaming x870 plus wifi 2 T nvme 64.0 GB ddr5 6000Mhz Windows 10 Home How can I solve the problem?The drivers is up to date

Hello. I've tried researching training videos for LR but it is challenging to find ones that are not for LRC. Can anyone point me in the right direction for LR workflow videos? I'm switching over after all these years. Thanks!

I've created a slideshow in Lightroom Classic that includes slides with NEF, DNG, HEIC, and MP4 files.  It plays perfectly on my PC.  I tried exporting it as a PDF, but the videos didn't work.  I tried exporting it as a video, but I don't like not being able to move from slide to slide at will and some of the videos don't play in full because of how long each slide plays.   I think that if I could copy the slideshow to my iPhone I could then cast it to the TV and that would work perfectly.  The question is how do I do that?   

Just updtaed LR.  Now when I use Zerene Stacker to do a focus-stacked set of images, if I have cretaed more than one file I can just import the first one back into Lightroom.  It shows the correct number to be imported but then it pops up a message that says No photos or videos were found to import.   Is there a way around it or do I need step back to the previous LR version? <Mod:> The title has been updated to reflect the change in how Duplicates are handled in 14.4.

Hi, I'm using LrC 14.3.1 on a new Mac Studio (M4 Max, 16-core CPU, 40-core GPU, 64GB RAM) running Sequoia 15.5.  Everything is up to date.  When I use the AI Lens Blur tool in any capacity, it initially performs correctly, until I zoom in.  The blur does not appear to sync up with the outline of the subject, causing rough edges and even disfigurement of the subject.  Unfortunately these issues are also present when I export the image, making the Lens Blur tool unusable.   Below is an iPhone photo of my screen.

The new 14.4 lightroom update now will detect duplicates based on capture time. I sometimes rename a file to be able to upload it to lightroom when processed elsewhere. I want both in lightroom folder. Will the new update prevent that? How do I get around it?

Buenas, estoy intentando instalar unos presets .xmp para editar .Utilico macos sequoia 15.3 ,  lightroom en su última versión lso archivos estan en  .xm p. los intalo en lightroom en ajustes preestablecidos > importar   y sorpresa, no los encuentro por ningún lado.  Cosas que he hecho:he entrado a la carpeta de "develop presets" los he pegado ahí también.he ido a ajustes de lightroom > preferencias> ajustes preestablecidos >   mostrar ajustes preestablecidos . y ahí he vuelto a pegar la carpeta con los .xmp y nada.  No se que más hacer, pero no me aparecen por ningun lado. 

Hallo miteinander, seit einige Tage habe das Problem, ich bearbeite fortlaufend die Fotos teilweise auch mit KI genererator, und am Schluss wenn ich die Bilder exportiere, werden die Bilder in Original (unbearbeitet) exportiert. Ich muss die Bilder bearbeitungen aktualisieren und dann sofort einzeln exportieren, erst dann funtioniert, kann mir jemand helfen an was das Problem liegen kann? Habe Lightroom neu installiert und die Gallerie aktuialisiert aber geht es trotzdem nicht.

Can anyone with help?Why can Lightroom read all 300+ files on my SD card but Lightroom Classic only seems to find 2 photos? Last shoot it could read all with no issue but the time before I had the same problem, 500 files on the SD card but only 100 according to LRC. & when I tried the workaround of uploading the photos to the Cloud via Lightroom it freezes when syncing the photos to Lightroom ClassicThanks

Hi, Im going crazy over here. My .NEF files look like horrible .JPG files when i try to develop them in Lr, camara raw, etc.. i dont know what is happening. please help me!

Well I loved AI masks and the ability to batch edit for efficiency.  Now for some reason I have to 'update AI settings' on every photo after the mask has been copied.  I can't copy and paste settings of masks (only does one picture at a time even if I've selected more).  I've tried different hacks from these forums.  NOTHING!  I'd be so grateful for a solution.  It used to be that I could edit one picture with masks, the copy those settings to the following ten pictures.  Now for some reason it's not possible.  ANY suggestions welcome!!!  Thanks!!!

Hii work with LRC, on desktop computer, very strong  new computer.and LRC is slowwww...for example, i click a thumbnail in order to see the enlarged photo, it may take 2-3-4-5 seconds to update the big image. and sometimes it doesn't update. it stays stuck with the previous image. i click a new thumbnail and yet see previous photo.is there a way to solve it ?

Since the last update from 17 june 2025, I have difficulties sending my photos to PS from LrC. It takes minutes to send a photo to PS, but most of the time it fails and PS does crash from my Windows PC.

it is possible to split an HDR photo in all the photo that has been shotted? I would erase one of them because not on focus 

When an external or network volume is disconnected and later reconnected, the Metadata panel can sometimes still show "File not found" in File Size rather than the actual size.  I think this is another bug with the caching of metadata in "<catalog> Helper.lrdata". There have been three recent reports about this: https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/file-size-not-shown-for-files-on-network-drive/m-p/13588066 https://www.lightroomqueen.com/community/threads/metadata-says-file-not-found-in-the-file-size.46971/ (two reports)   The workaround is to exit LR and delete "<catalog> Helper.lrdata".   To reproduce:   1. Import a photo from an external drive with Add.   2. Exit LR, disconnect the drive, delete the "<catalog> Helper.lrdata" file, restart LR.   3. Observe that the photo is correctly marked missing and the Metadata panel shows "File Size: File not found":   4. Exit LR, connect the drive, restart L

LrDevelopController.getSelectedTool() returns "masking" rather than the documented "local_point_color" when masking Point Color's eyedropper is selected.   To reproduce in LR 14.2 / Mac:   1. Place these lines in the file "getselectedtool.lua" in the Scripts folder: import "LrDialogs".message ( import "LrDevelopController".getSelectedTool ())   2. Restart LR.   3. Open a photo in Develop.   4. Add a linear gradient mask.   5. Select the eyedropper in the masking Point Color subpanel.   6. Do the menu command Scripts > getselectedtool.   7. Observe the message dialog says "masking" (incorrect) rather than the documented "local_point_color" (correct):   Note that the SDK documentation indicates "local_point_color" should be returned:      

Calling LrBinding.makePropertyTable() in a script in the Lightroom Scripts folder always fails with the error:   "LrBinding.makePropertyTable: missing functionContext"   This prevents making simple scripts using LrDialogs. presentModalDialog(). It also makes it harder to file bug reports involving dialogs.    To reproduce on LR 14.3 / Mac OS and / Windows 11, place this script in the Scripts folder: local LrBinding = import "LrBinding" local LrDialogs = import "LrDialogs" local LrFunctionContext = import "LrFunctionContext" local LrTasks = import "LrTasks" LrFunctionContext.callWithContext ("X", function (context) local success, err = LrTasks.pcall (function () LrBinding.makePropertyTable (context) end) LrDialogs.message (tostring (success), err) end) LrFunctionContext.postAsyncTaskWithContext ("X", function (context) local success, err = LrTasks.pcall (function () LrBinding.makePropertyTable (context) end) LrDia

Pet peeve. Was LR developed by a bunch of 20-somethings? The fonts are too small for my 60+ year-old eyes! I have font size set to large in Preferences>Interface. This problem occurs throughout. Develop module is terrible, the letters are gray on gray, there's not enough contrast. Library module too, casn't read the file names in the extended thumbnail. And the extensions, absurd forget it! Take a lesson from Bridge, and make these fonts so people like me can read them. My vision isn't that bad, it's 20-30 and i wear reading specs. Even the damn Preference Panel makes me squint. This is such an unnecessary mistake that has been made. At least make the font color white instead of gray, you're sacrficing readabilty for design, which is the same as bad design. If the Develop Module used tabs instead of lines you could make the font larger. Just sayin'. Please rethink this, Adobe.

Do the updated remove tools replace at the original images full resolution?

I store my presets with my catalog, and that catalog is on an external drive that I switch up between my desktop and laptop when I'm traveling. All the presets show when using my desktop, but when I use my laptop and pull up the same catalog, a good amount of the presets are missing. If I import them again while using the laptop, then when I plug the harddrive back into my desktop, they appear twice. How can I get them to be consistent between machines? I thought that was the whole point of storing them with the catalog, but maybe I'm missing a step somewhere?
