Lightroom Classic

hii copied my lightroom catalogue to an expernal encrypted usb-drive. I can’t open it directly on the external drive (because it is read-only) so i copied it on my notebook (windows).When i open it in Lightroom it updates the catalog (which works fine) and then opens it …. unfortunately not a single preview is shown although i also copied those files with the catalogue(yes, i did not take all original photos with me as i intended to do most work in the catalogue section (where the previews would be enough to have).can i somehow get those previews to be shown in the catalogue? 

I’m an enthusiastic amateur at using LRc, needing help. I have an external 4TB SSD which houses a few thousand images (over 3TB) and the associated catalogue files. I bought 2 x 6TB external SSDs and configured them in Raid 0 because the drive at Point 1 is nearing capacity. These were far cheaper than buying a larger single drive. I have copies of original images safely stored in the cloud. I’m about to go on a photography trip which I will need space for about another 2TB to 4TB. My goal is to move the current 4TB to the Raid Drive, and put the associated LRc files on my internal M4 Mac Mini. Despite reading up on and watching videos of helpful ‘stuff’, I'm not confident or clear how to undertake this 2-part transition correctly without at least one ‘wheel’ coming off.  In summary, how do I effectively move my images to the external drive and move the catalogue files to my internal drive?Many thanks in advance for your help!

Ich habe bei meinem Katalog nur die Backupfunktion eingeschaltet und gleich ein Backup mit Katalogoptimierung gemacht. Und nun sind alle Vorschaubilder weg. Das habe ich ja noch nie erlebt. Wie kann das denn sein? Das Problem ist wirklich erst nach dem Backup enstanden.  

Every time I open a group of profiles in the profile browser, the thumbnails are much smaller than they should be. I prefer to use large thumbnails that should fill the entire width of the side panel. But they only fill about a third of it. I have to select one of the other view modes (Grid or List), and then go back to Large again, then they get the right size. But it's incredibly annoying that this happens every time I open a new group of profiles.   It has been like this for a long time, and a new Mac and new updates to Lightroom have not solved the problem. Am I the only one experiencing this?  

Sometimes, maybe. 1 in 10 when I edit in another program, LR does not properly make a copy with Lightroom edits. It will sometimes even make the copy of a version prior to some final edits I made. It’s almost always. a much brighter version of what it should have done. You can look at the copy and original and they are not the same.

After importing images into Lightroom Classic and performing edits, then selecting Edit in Photoshop and it opens, the images do not retain the LR edits on them and are back to the RAW appearance (No edits applied). I have Uninstalled/Installed both LR & PS with saving preferences and also fully uninstalled/installed without retaining preferences. I have tried Using GPU acceleration and auto. Nothing seems to work. I have gone into so many posts relating to this issue. Windows 11 is up to date. GPU drivers are up to date. LR & PS are up to date. I have a travel laptop that works like it should with this workflow and I set every single preference and catalog setting in LR & PS the exact same and still the same result. I have also created a new (testing) catalog to see if it's a catalog issue but no fix either. The only thing that seems to go with the image is any object removal I have done. No color grading, masking ect.

Lightroom Classic 12.3 (and all previous versions of LrC while running Windows 11, as far as I can remember) Windows 11 (can't remember if it did this in Windows 10)   Let's suppose I have only two applications open, Microsoft Word and my web browser. In windows, when I press Alt-Tab, I switch from one application to the other. If have three applications open, such as Word, Web Browser and E-mail program, Alt-Tab lets me move to the 2nd app and Alt-Tab twice lets me move to the 3rd app. All as expected.   But if one of those applications open is Lightroom Classic, then Alt-Tab once keeps me in Lightroom Classic. Not expected. I have to Alt-Tab twice to move to the next application that is open. Not expected, and annoying.   Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a way to fix this so Alt-Tab when I am in Lightroom Classic works as with any other application? Is this a bug?

There is a scaling bug in the Profile Browser in the Develop Module. The star icons used to favorite profiles are ONLY visible when the Font Size (in Preferences) is set to 150%. If the Font Size is set to 'Medium' or 'Small', the right-hand panel cannot be dragged out or expanded far enough to reveal the star icons, causing them to be cut off. Windows 11, 25H2, Build: 26200.8875

A "Photo Merge - HDR" menüt használva, 3 képet kijelölve, az összeszerkesztés nem fejeződik be. Ez a hiba a korábbi verziókban is előfordult, de nagyon ritkán. Most a legfrissebb verzióban, nagyon gyakori. Csak a programból való kilépés és újraindítás után tudom folytatni, és látom, hogy elkészült az összeszerkesztett kép, de továbbra is látva marad a 3.db. kép amiből összeszerkesztődött.

I want to switch light and color smoothly. Now the open and close in auto. I want to left the damn colorsection open on right side. also left side colapses by itself, even tho I have things to do there!. This is not a good update, you messed it up. Why would you change UI after a long time of use. not good.

Lightroom Classic 15.4.1, Windows. Cloud sync has been stuck for weeks: a batch of synced photos sits in "Loading" and the count never drops. While that happens, the Metadata/Keywording panel spins and won't show metadata when I navigate between photos (works briefly after opening the catalog, then breaks).Catalog is fine — keywords exist and I can filter by them, they just won't render in the panel. Synced images were in Mobile Downloads.lrdata inside OneDrive; I set a local path in Preferences → Lightroom Sync but the existing images never moved. No "All Sync Error" collection on the web.Already tried: reset preferences, rebuild previews, reinstall, resolve conflicts via "Overwrite settings", download OneDrive files locally. Haven't clicked "Delete synced data" since it warns it removes cloud metadata.Is this a known server-side sync stall? Any safe way to clear the stuck "Loading" queue and move synced images out of OneDrive without losing keywords?Thanks!

When the same HDR AVIF or HDR JPEG is viewed on macOS, Apple Photos, Quick Look and Flow Vision adapt the highlight rendering as display brightness changes, while Lightroom Classic and Camera Raw keep rendering highlights much more directly. Is Lightroom intentionally bypassing Apple's system HDR photo rendering (EDR/tone mapping), or is there a preference to use the macOS HDR rendering pipeline?

Updated LRC to v15.4.1.  Since then I have only been able to use the Develop mode when connected to the Internet.  Without Internet connection Licence shows Unknown under Get Info in LRC.  Soon a s Internet access is available Licence shows Creative Cloud. Have tried lot of things... As per chat got.  Nothing seems to solve the issue.. Tried logging in and out of creative cloud and logging in again.Deleting files to recreate token... Trying to repair Creative cloud app.Any other options other than uninstalling all apps and reinstalling creative cloud and all apps.

Hello Everyone!I am new to lightroom, but I like the software until it slows down my whole gaming laptop and using upto 32GB of RAM. While working on simple JPG files, I don’t experience issues until I work with CR3 or DNG files. The problem occours when I have to use more features, such as blur lens, or masking tools.It slows down the whole PC so much I have to restart the sofware and sometimes it is simply crash.Adobe software require nuclear power to keep it run? Just because it is impossible that my gaming platform can’t run this sofware when all other softwares and games runs smoothly. Only this software made me a big surprise as it uses brutal amount of RAM storage, while I raised the virtual memory to 64GB. Huge dissapointment from Adobe that this problem can not be resolved.Otherwise, it would be very useful.Thank you if you have any better idea to make the performance better.

I cannot create a file on the external disc like saving my pictures year 2024. I tried to pick and slide 2024 file to the external disc, nothing happen.

the rest of the Lightroom functions seems ok except the when using the generative remove. it just freeze when reaches 100%. the problem just started today. 

I often find that Lightroom Classic sync to the Adobe Cloud gets stuck uploading images.Removing the offending images and from sync and all synced images usually clears the issue, however I can repeat the issue.Add some previously un-synced images (mine are usually new imports)  to a collection and let them sync - wait for the icon to stop spinning and turn green. Remove some of the images from the collection Then immediately add some of those removed back into the collectionThe added images just added back in to the collection just sit in an 'uploading' state. I have left them trying for hours.I have observed on occasion that LrC will remove the newly added images from the local collectionI occasionally make a mistake and change my mind about images I've removed from collections so add them back.I have done the above steps several times now and find the results consistent.

I've owned an R5 not long after it released and since then I've had color profile issues with lightroom classic and my CR3 files.  I've had the common issue of RAW files looking washed out using the Adobe Standard color profile so I had ended up switching to Fidelity a few years ago which helped improve the images but they still never looked quite right and I just dealt with it being that way.  More recently I tried experimenting with the newer Camera matching profiles and I didn't like the way they looked either.   Recently I started looking at my older images when I was using a 6D and I couldn't believe how great the colors and contrast looked in my photos.  So as a test I setup both cameras and tested the 6D using the Adobe Standard profile (where it looked great with wonderful contrast, colors, and skin tones.) and the R5 using every profile available profile and none of them looked as nice as the 6D with the default Adobe Standard profile.  I cou
