Hi, I need help recovering my Lightroom Classic edits. Here’s everything that happened: I was originally using Lightroom Classic with everything stored on an external SSD (Extreme Pro) — including both my RAW images and my Lightroom catalog. I wanted to move my entire workflow to my Mac’s internal drive, so I wouldn’t be dependent on the SSD. So I created a new folder on my Mac called “Hana Thailand Pics” and copied everything into it. This folder now contains: FOR HANA — my main edited photosLIKE (not EDIT) — unedited photos I moved over manuallycatalog — the Lightroom catalog folder I copied from the SSD (which contains .lrcat and preview files) I then opened that .lrcat catalog from the “catalog” folder on my Mac, thinking that was the correct catalog. Once inside Lightroom, I moved all the photos from LIKE (not EDIT) into FOR HANA manually using Finder. Then, in Lightroom, I deleted the LIKE (not EDIT) folder to reduce clutter. After that, we cli
Since the latest update, 14.4, I am experiencing pauses in Lightroom whenever I browse images in the strip of the develop module. Simply put, when I skip images with the direction arrows to the right, the main viewport (with the current image) does not update itself sometimes as I scroll. This happens randomly but frequently. It will take around 4-5 seconds until the main viewport updates itself with the actual current image. Mac Mini M4 Pro - Sequoia 15.5 (48 Gigs of ram)
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.
Many items in the View > Sort submenu are always greyed out, though they're not greyed out in the drop-down Sort menu in the toolbar. Tested with several catalogs on LR 14.4 / Mac OS 15.5 and Windows 11. Mac: Windows:
if I go from one image to the next in the library or development module they often are not sharp unless I zoom in and out. It does not happen with every image but with a lot of them.Funny enough the problem does not occur if I scroll through my images on LR 4 so it definitely has to do with the Classic CC version.I am using MAC OS High Sierra version 10.13.4Please help
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.
Please create a function to toggle on and off all of the "remove tool markers" at once, as well a keep the current one by one editing step. REASON: If you have several images that are similar and you copy/paste the edits to the next image(s), by activating all of the markers at once, you can reshape the colored overlay to match the differences from the previous images and receive a similar desired result as the previous image(s). This would prevent having to click on each marker one by one to shape the colored overlay, which is teidious and time consuming, and sometimes causes us to miss or overlook a possible necessary edit.
Lightroom’s new masking tools are powerful, but refining a mask’s edge still lacks precision tools that Photoshop users rely on. One feature that would significantly improve control is a Smudge (Push) tool for masks — similar to the Smudge tool in Photoshop. This would allow us to: Push or nudge mask edges inwards or outwards with a brush Correct fringes and overlaps manually without re-masking Refine object edges (hair, fabric, architecture) visually and intuitively Current methods like subtracting a brush or adjusting feather are too coarse. We often need subtle manual tweaks, especially after AI masking or Range Masks. Please consider adding a “Push” or “Deform” brush for masks — even a basic version would be a major upgrade for local editing.
The current workflow for batch processing is fragmented and inefficient. Simple batch tasks require switching between Lightroom, Photoshop, and Bridge — often using outdated or redundant panels like Image Processor, Export Presets, Actions, or Scripts. What we need is a single, unified batch processing tool that allows us to: Convert between formats: TIFF, PSD, JPEG, PNG, WebP Change color spaces (e.g., ProPhoto → sRGB → FOGRA39) Resize images by long edge, width, height, percentage, or megapixel target Rename files using dynamic templates (EXIF time, sequence, metadata) Apply actions, develop presets, ICC profiles Preserve or modify metadata All of this should be achievable without manually chaining exports across three different apps with conflicting settings and limited output options. A proper cross-application batch engine is long overdue — especially for photographers working with thousands of files across color-managed workflows.
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.

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 am having a similar problem exporting a Text Preset. When I am creating it, there is a horizontal line that cuts it off and I can't move it so the whole letter is inside the area. I had to make an image of the Signature to be able to have it complete, but I would like to be able to use the Text option which has such a nice drop shadow. I am using Lightroom Classic and Photoshop CC with last updates. Thank you very much! Gloria
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?
