Lightroom Classic

Hello everyone,I'm encountering a significant issue with Lightroom Classic that I hope someone here might be able to help me with. I shot a series of RAW photos and began editing them, utilizing AI noise reduction on some. However, I haven't finished editing all the photos yet, and when I returned to the project after about two weeks, I found that I could no longer use the noise reduction function. Even reverting the photos that had already the noise reduction back to their original versions didn't solve the problem (I thought the new photos might have had import issues, so I tried reverting an older one to see if I could at least apply it). I haven't made any changes to the settings, and I've also freed up a considerable amount of space on my computer. Despite this, the issue persists.I'm attaching the error message that Lightroom displays for reference. If anyone has encountered a similar problem or has any suggestions on how to resolve it, I would greatly appreciate your help.

Hi, I find LrC a kind of unintuos "machine or roulette" I don't know who has invented all that! Adobe Photoshop with Bridge (the latter at last been refurbished lately) is far far better! So, I have, I hope, have a simple question: I have all the projects pictures in a collection in LrC. Now, I wanted to edit one of the pictures in another app, Topaz Photo AI, and therefore I copied the picture to another folder, and then, after, trying to get that edited picture back to LcR, it didn't work. I just have to say: I never got the picture to LcR. WHAT is the way to get  picture edited outside LcR to the collection, beside the origial one, or somewhre there near o the orinal one?? So, what is the way if I want to do some editing outside LcR and to get the picture to the same series from which the picture was taken out. Thanks, Tuomas

I'm having trouble pin pointing an issue I have. I've recently switched my HDR workflow from Photomatix to processing HDR directly in LR for more flexability. When I used Photomatix it provided TIFF files for me to edit, and I could take any image into Photoshop for speciality editing, save it, and it updates perfectly in LR without any color or gamma shifts. Now, while I am editing these Lightroom HDR photos (in SDR Preview, I am not delivering HDR files) and I send an image to photoshop it will come in flat and without my edits (it's a 32-bit file inside of PS) and I cannot do my work in Photoshop and return to LR with my original adjustments intact. What part of this workflow am I missing? Thanks everyone!

When I select a folder in the Folders view I first see all photo thumbnails in the version I have edited them but after a few seconds they start one by one to revert to a original state. The repro photos reverts to their negative image. What is happening? All edits and crops etc are removed. For the B/W ones if I select a photo and then just click somewhere in the Tone Curve panel it turns positive as I developed it. The edits in the Basic panel seems to be correct but any crop on the photo is removed. I have a backup 1 month old but unfortunately it has the same behaviours. I have a backup from Nov 21 2024 that does not have this behaviour and alla photos are correctly displayed with my edits. I have 200k photos in the catalog so please help !!! Lightroom Classic 14.2, Windows 11 24H2, PC with 64GB memory and 2 TB disk.  

The subject process took place in LrC 13, it commenced in v 13.2 and completed in v 13.3. As a result of this transition if users wish to sync images to Adobe Creative Cloud to Lightroom ecosystem (Cloud-based) they are required to use LrC v 13.3 or later. If users wish to upgrade from a LrC version earlier than 13.2 (including Lr 6 original version) directly to  the latest version 14 they will get an errror that indicates their catalog cannot be upgraded. They will need to use LrC 13.2 to upgrade their Catalog then use LrC 14 to upgrade the Catalog to v 14. During the past few months there have been many threads related to this issue. I am suggesting a pinned thread along these lines, amendments or corrections welcomed.

This happens frequently when I rename a folder.  Folder renames correctly but behind all the windows is a blank persistant "Rename Folder" window that can't be moved or closed.  Lightroom hangs when i try to quit, likely due to this window.  

I have LR Classic 14.2 installed in 2 different devide but in one I have IA in there and in the other it isn't it is like enable.How can I have back the AI?

Adobe Lightroom 6RAW CR2 sous Windows 11Je n'arrive pas à lires les fichiers CR2 de Canon PowerShot G1X Mark III

Hi guys,When I press R in Lightroom now, several angled lines lines appear and the window is harder to resize, move around or navigate.  What is this and how to fix it? Thans a lot.

I have the same problem. the mouse cursor (the cross and the large circle) disappears as soon as I modify a parameter and come back to the photo. when I restart Lightroom it returns but disappears systematically. I try turning off the GPU option but it's always the same. This problem appears mostly on the secondary monitor.    (Branched from other discussion, Title Change to better reflect problem.

Hi there. I updated recently to the latest version of LRCCclassic. Now, all the published collections that were previously managed by a plug-in are unavailable. I want to delete them, but I get a message saying I can't. FYI, Plug-ins are now wrapped up inside the apps, apparently.  Two things: I don't remember exactly where I had these items published, therefore I want to delete them. If they can't be deleted, then how to I figure out where I had them published, so that I can re-install and then delete. ;}Below are screen shots. Machine specs: MBP late 2013, Mac OS 10.13.4, LRCCC 7.2. What I see from my Library module in the Publish Services column...the message I get when I try to delete the missing plug-in items... Location for those plugins that I can findThanks, folks, any help will be appreciated!

Hallo allemaal, Ik wil graag van lightroom naar lightroom classic switchen.Echter staat overal dat dit onder lightroom valt, maar ik snap niet hoe ik in de lightroom classic ap kom?Hij zegt dat ik het niet kan downloaden, maar het wel werkt op mijn apparaat?Ik kan nergens updates vinden van mijn account?Help.....

Sorry for this stupid topic, but this X is more convenient to leave LR than going to the menu  ... Thank you for your help.

Hallo Forum, ich habe seit einiger Zeit das Problem, dass beim Import der Bilder meine Ordnerstruktur nicht mehr eingehalten wird. Ich habe auf der externen Festplatte auf meinem Mac Ordner mit den Jahreszahlen 2021, 2022, 2023 etc. Jetzt wird mir plötzlich der Ordner mit den Bildern als oberste Ebene angezeigt. Wohlgemerkt: angezeigt. Der Ordner selbst liegt dort, wo er hingehört.         Er müsste in dem Unterverzeichnis auftauchen.   Von der angezeigten Ebene lässt er sich nicht in das Unterverzeichnis verschieben, denn da ist er ja vorhanden.   Ich habe über die Suchfunktion ein ähnliches Problem gefunden und die Lösung ausprobiert. Das hat aber nix gebracht. (https://www.lightroomqueen.com/capitalization-catalog-error/)   Ich muss mir jetzt so behelfen, dass ich den Ordner auf eine andere Ebene verschiebe und von dort auf die Ebene (d.h. den Unterordner), wo er hingehört. Aber das kann es auf Dauer nicht sein.   Wo bitte kann ich da ansetzen

I'm using the Xiaomi 15 Ultra (also the 14 Ultra has this issue), and I’ve noticed a bug where the correct ISO value is not being written to the DNG file (though it’s correctly stored in the JPG).I prefer to have my metadata accurate, and it’s strange to see a very soft image showing an ISO of 3184 when it was actually taken at ISO 12800.While I can correct the metadata with ExifTool, I need Lightroom to recognize it. I can use the "Read Metadata from File" option, but this causes me to lose my edits, which I’m not fond of.Is there a practical solution to fix this for photos that have already been imported? 

HiI want to use may monitor LG5K with Lightrooma and Macbook as second monitorI cannot use my second display monitor as a second monitor in lightroom. It allways mirrors the macbookpro. If I stop mirroring, the macbookpro monitor is out and shows nothing. I have tried all tricks I found here , but I cannot solve this problem, I always get the mirror image. In the window second monitor in the menu, the second windows opens up on the 2 screens, juts mirroring, some items like "full screen preview" do not lighten up, so do not work. So thanks for giving me the trick that helpsmichel

I can't see my images well

I have a iMac that I work on at home and a Macbook Pro that I travel with. I log in to my CC Lightroom Classic on both, but when I import on one computer it doesn't show up on the other. Is there a way to do it so I can see the same files on both? Please help!

Hi,Since the update to Lightroom Classic 14.2, GPU acceleration no longer works on my system. The software always shows “GPU disabled” and the “Use GPU” setting is grayed out.🖥️️ My system:Lightroom Classic 14.2 (Creative Cloud)Windows 11 Home 22H2NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 (driver 572.83 WHQL – latest)CPU: Intel Core i7-8700K @ 3.7GHz48 GB RAM✅ What I already tried:Clean uninstall of GPU driver with DDU (safe mode)Reinstalled latest NVIDIA Studio DriverForced GPU activation with Config.lua (enableMachineLearning = true)Set Lightroom to use CUDA and OpenGL in NVIDIA control panelGPU is properly recognized by Premiere Pro and works with CUDADespite all this, Lightroom refuses to use the GPU. This used to work flawlessly before the 14.2 update.Is this a known regression? Has support for GTX 10 series been dropped silently in the latest version?I’d appreciate any insight from Adobe or users in the same situation 🙏Thanks in advance! 

When importing photos adobe shows the photo count in the folder as 0. The files are in the correct folders. I am a long time Lighroomroom Classic user and understand how Librarys work. I dont move folders or photos outside of lightroom. This is on a Macbook Pro M3 Max with Catalina, everything on the latest updates. Under Privacy & Security Lightroom has been given Full Disk Access, and has been added to Files and Folders. The problem only just started to happen when I relocated my library and my media folders onto the hard drive of this computer. So the files are stored on the local drive, not on an external drive. I've tried Optimizing the catalog, rebooting, nothing helps Interestingly the Previous Import section under the Catalog accordion is showing that I imported 72 photos. So on one hand Lightroom is displaying the correct number, but on the Folders accordion the folder is showing a photo count of 0. See the folder dated 2024-02-18 near the bottom of the phot

I have a question regarding lightroom classic upgrading catalogs after new releases.  Because of different professional and personal situations, I need to have more than one lightroom catalog.  I am used to lightroom needing to upgrade catalogs after a major release... What confuses me is: Using 14.2 I have opened and used all my catalogs.  None of them ask me to upgrade catalog.  However when looking unside each catalog folder on my drive, some catalog files are .lrcat and some are v13-4.lrcat... There seems to be no correlation between catalog age and the current naming convension.  Why did lightroom upgrade some catalogs and not others? (or did it upgrade without changing file naming convension)?  How come none of my lrcat files are 14...etc...?  

Hello. I'm new to this forum and apologize if this has previously been asked and answered. My workflow starts in LrC with RAW files, and I do most of my adjustments there. Occassionally I need to do something to the image where I find PS does a better job. Before the latest updates, I simply selected the image and presses Command/E, and the file opened in PS. Now when I do that the files sometimes open in 16 bit, and sometimes in 32 bit. Not a huge problem, but to do what I want to do I have to go through the extra steps to convert to 16 bit. I've looked in LrC  preferences and it is set to open files in 16 bit - and often they do! I'm slightly perplexed as to why the files don't always open the same.

I'm having a similar problem, although the changes I'm seeing are typically a year or more added to the correct capture date. This is only occuring on files syncing from cloud to LR Classic (Mac OS 15.3.2 and LRc v14.2) - doesn't appear that 14.1 fixed this or it reverted upon 14.2 releasing. This doesn't happen to all imagers, and there doesn't seem to be any consistency. It's not happening only to edited files - it seems to touch pretty much anything. I've had to turn off sync on my main catalog and created a second catalog to only ingest these sync files to avoid mucking up my main catalog. Any ideas on how to address this? I've looked at potentially using EXIFtool to correct, as most of the files do have the correct capture time in date/time original and date/time but it's incredibly annoying to have images taken a year apart appear next to each other in the view by capture time. If there was an easy way to sort by another one of the EXIF time fields, that might help. Thanks. &nbsp

I have an issue that just started - it happens when I edit photos in Lightroom - when I move the slider, the image gets blurry and then when I let it go, it goes back to being sharp.  If I zoom into the image a little, the problem doesn't happen.  It is driving me insane. Please see attached video of the issue.  I am using Mac Book Pro M1 and Lightroom Classic 14.2 and have been using it for last 3 years.  This issue just started and I am not sure what caused it.  I was reasing about the Graphics processor but mine is turned off.  Anyone has any idea how to fix this?  Thank you.
