Lightroom Classic

I am having an issue trying to make collection sets in LRC.   When I try to craste a collection set, it wants to put it into either Lightroom or Smart collections.     I want to create a collection set called National Parks, and then add collections of various parks to that set ( like subfolders).  The end goal is to sync with Adobe Portfolio.If there  is an easier way?   Or if I'm missing something?   Thx!

I'd like to add arrow in text. Most symbols show up as a box with X. Is there a way to get other symbols such as arrow in text?I'm on a Mac. Screenshot show which symbols work, all others show up as box with X.

impossibile esportare il catalogo a causa di un errore imprevisto lightroom mi posiziono su una cartella contenente delle foto e faccio "esporta questa cartella come catalogo", mi chiede dove salvare e il nome, inizia il processo ma poi dopo oltre metà dell'esportazione mi dice"impossibile esportare il catalogo a causa di un errore imprevisto" e mi chiude LRLR Classic 14.2 - Windows 11

After working well for several weeks, Lightroom now freezes when I attempt to use the Enhance feature - either denoise or resolution. When I attempt to use Enhance, the following status is displayed:Once the progress bar reaches the end, the program freezes. Please help - while I also use Topaz AI to denoise and enhance images, I prefer to stay in Lightroom. Thank You

Dear Community,  My wife is a pro photographer. She mainly uses LR Classic, PS, Camera Raw and few other apps from time to time. I'm the "tech guy"  handling, updating, buying her Macs. So far she was using her old iMac i5 mid 2017. Not only it is the latest Sequoia software supported anymore, but after recent Adobe updates it started to work really slow, making it really uncomfortable to work with multiple RAWs, applying presets, editing and so on. We want to upgrade. We need to save money this year so there are two options. Buying a good condition imac27 2020, i7 3,8 ghz 10700k, 32gb ram, 1TB ssd for ca 1200 usd (BUDGET FRIENDLY AND PREFERRED) and using it for around 2 years. Buying Mac Mini M4, 32gb ram, 512 ssd + apple display for around 2850 usd (Not preferred, leasing is the only option). We live in Poland. I intentionally use USD prices, as this is an international community 😉  I need an advice: will 2020 Imac handle LR and PS smoothly at least two se

For a while now whenever I try to sync/paste or use denoise it will work a few times after ive started up lightroom. But after a few times it just doesnt work anymore.. Only thing that will "fix" it is restarting Lightroom and then it will work. It is reeeeally slowing down my editing. Anyone else have this problem and maybe even the real fix?

i store my photos and cataloge on a external drive.  do to space limits i upgraded to a larger drive and transfered the files, but i broke the golden rule and didnt do it in lightroom.  So when i went to locate the files i was able to show lightroom that they were now kept on a different drive letter, all photos show up in the files tab but when i look at my collections some of them show no pictures and have the file not found "!" symbol.  when i click on it to locate the file it says the file is already associated with a photo when i go to the folder it is in i see only one of the files with all my edits and everything the way it should be but it will not show up in the collections.  Im assuming it still thinks its tied to the old hard drive and not the new locataion.  Thanks for any help

Since the last update, I’ve been unable to import or add JPG files to Lightroom Classic (LRC). However, I have no issues importing RAW files from an SD card. I’m using the latest version of LRC (14.2) on a 2024 MacBook Pro with an M4 chip. I’ve already tried the following troubleshooting steps:•Ensured all permissions are set to read/write•Restarted Lightroom•Reinstalled Lightroom Despite these efforts, the issue persists. The JPG files are not corrupted—I can open them without any problems. Any advice? 

My QNAP NAS has an option to store files in a "cloud" (like Dropbox or OneDrive) on the NAS to free up Laptop-disk space.   I selected that option and it corrupted all of the photos (some DNG, Some Sony .arw, some .jpg, some .mp4).  I'm guessing (possibly wrongly, but let's assume not) that the Lightroom Catalogues are still OK.  I am going to have to rebuild ~5 years of photo libraries from backups made at the time I took the photos off the camera.  If possible, I'd like to use the Lightroom Catalogues:To extract just the photos I kept, rather than all the photos I took.To apply the edits to the photos. Does anyone know if either of these is possible?(I can probably write code to do the work if it is possible, but would need a bit of guidance on things like how the database is structured.) 

Hi, I have been using LrC for years now and stored the images in a local drive. All of a sudden the import is stalling - even with a single image to import. LrC shows me the image in the relevant folder - such as when I use "sync folders", I can check the boxes of the images to import, the process starts and the activity bar says "import files at their current location" but nothing happens. Normally it is pretty quick but now it doesn't move at all and no images are imported. Can anyone suggest a solution?ThanksNick

 Lightroom Classic Freezing When Importing RAW FilesIssue:I'm experiencing a problem where Lightroom Classic freezes whenever I try to import RAW files. The program becomes unresponsive, and I have to force quit and restart. This happens consistently, even after restarting my computer.Steps to Reproduce:Open Lightroom Classic.Click Import and select RAW files from my camera (Canon/Nikon/Sony, etc.).Click Import—Lightroom starts the process but freezes before completion.Expected Behavior:Lightroom should import the RAW files smoothly without freezing.Actual Behavior:The software becomes unresponsive, and I have to force quit.System Details:Lightroom Classic Version: (Example: 13.1)Operating System: (Windows 11/macOS Sonoma 14.2)RAM: (Example: 16GB)Storage Space Available: (Example: 200GB free)Graphics Card: (Example: NVIDIA GTX 3060)Troubleshooting Steps Taken:Cleared Lightroom’s cacheDisabled graphics accelerationReset Lightroom preferencesTried importing to a different driveReins

Hola, por alguna razon, cuando intento copiar ajustes de revelado de una foto que contenga mascaras, se congela la aplicacion, no es la GPU, porque hasta la desactive y continua haciendo lo mismo. Tengo la version mas reciente de Lightroom, pero incluso, instale una anterior y continuo pasando. ¡Necesito ayuda porque el programa me es inutilizable congelandose por esto a cada rato!

macOS Ventura 13.5 / Lightroom Classic 12.4 / Camera Raw 15.4 / Canon imagePROgraf PRO-300 Just to save you any unecessary breath or time: I've got 25+ years of printing in profiled & calibrated workflows – from the offset printing days through today. So, I'll know what you're talking about, and you can assume I know how to reboot a computer or find an ICC profile. Okay, printing from Lightroom used to be one of my favorite things to do before macOS Ventura. I actually looked forward to printing sessions because we seemed to have reached the pinnacle of digital photos to analog prints in a one-stop workflow – never having to leave Lightroom at all. Plus, being able to create "Saved Prints" and know that everything was going to just work months later, that was the best feature of the Print module yet! But all that was before macOS Ventura came out. Since then, printing from Lightroom has been a disaster. Tons of wasted time, materials, and patience. But I don't think

Hallo,ich habe mein Lightroom Classic (Katalog) von Win auf IMac umgezogen. Meine Fotos befinden sich, wie vorher, auf meinem Synology NAS. Nachdem ich meinen Katalog erfolgreich wieder auf dem neuen IMac installiert habe, sind meine Fotos nicht mehr auffindbar. Siehe beigefügtes Bildschirmfoto.Wenn ich "Fehlende Ordner suchen" starte, wir mir die Fehlermeldung "interner Fehler/Invalid Path" angezeigt.Wie kann ich den Pfad für meinen Foto-Ordner ändern? Werden auch meine Bildänderungen übernommen? Danke im Voraus.

I purchased a new laptop (Mac Pro).  I want to continue using Lightroom Classic (have no interest to use the Cloud version).  How do I make sure that when I install Lightroom Classic on my new laptop I will see all my folders and edited photos.

When I select a printing orientation it intermittently changes from what I selected in Page Setup (landscape or portrait) to another orientation (portrait or landscape). I have contacted Adobe support several times, and they have not been much help. The quality of support has declined recently..

Hi everyone, Since last week when lightroom cc upgraded to version 14.0.1, the tethering with the Nikon d850 stopped working properly on the laptop, while on the desktop it works fine. It sees the camera, I can do all the settings, even live view, but when I take the photo it doesn't appear at all and the message “A captured file could not be saved. Your drive may be full, or may no longer be accessible. Chose New Destination". Of course none of this is true. I tried with digiCamControl and it works fine. Can someone tell me what's going on? Thanks,   ps. The camera and windows are updated with the latest version   {Moved from Lightroom Cloud to Lightroom Classic Forum by Moderator} 

Hello all I Hope you are Well. I have been using Lightroom Classic for a few Years now and have decided to try the Sync facility from mySamsung Galaxy Phone to Lightroom Classic on my Desktop (Windows 11). I take a Photo on the Phone which the Lightroom App Syncs to my Desktop (Lightroom Classic), all Good, so far. Once the Photo appears in the 'All Synced Photographs' Collection how do I Move it to my Local Directory Structure? I am at a Loss so any Help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance Kevin

Hello Community, I have a question about AI in Lightroom: I want to create a timelapse and need to edit 100 images in Lightroom identically. When I use the Clone Stamp to correct a spot on my “master image,” this stamp is applied 1:1 to all images (synchronization). How does it work if I use AI to fix the spot? Is a new result generated for each image during synchronization, or is the initially created correction applied identically to all images?

I primarily use Lightroom Classic for organizing my photo and video library. I have diligently assigned keywords to categorize and manage my media efficiently.My intention is to share my media with others through Lightroom (cloud) while ensuring that the keywords are synced along with the files. This is crucial for facilitating easy search and retrieval of specific photos or videos.But the keywords are not syncing from Lightroom Classic to Lightroom (cloud) automatically. also:Videos require manual importation into Lightroom (cloud), as automatic syncing doesn't include them.   

My Lightroom Classic has been giving me problems for a few days now. It does not respond to the 'create collection' command. I have to close the program and reopen it to let me do it.I have 6481 photos in these collections. Is this too many? Should I start deleting folders?

Con la última actualización de LR Classic no puedo cargar el perfil de cámara creado en ColorChecker. En catálogos anteriores, sí aparece, pero al hacer un catálogo nuevo no me da la opción, y al importarlo indica "Missing profile"

Hi. I have just upgraded from Lightroom to Lightroom Classic. Photos back up to the cloud. I have found that while syncing photos from Lightroom to Classic it has also stored photos on my laptop C drive.This is now full and causing major problems.How do I stop Classic saving images to the C drive and how do I move the ones there already to an external hard drive. I need help! Thank you. 

Lightroom Crashes randomly and gives this report. All my graphics drivers are up to date. I'll post system specs on the subsequent post. I've seen this error around the internet but not many fixes. I'm really hoping someone can help me get to the bottom of this one.   <?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE AdobeCrashReport SYSTEM "AdobeCrashReporter.dtd"><crashreport serviceVersion="22.0.0.202411120700_66319a4" clientVersion="22.0.0.202411120700_66319a4" applicationName="Adobe Lightroom Classic" applicationVersion="14.1.1" build="[202412150940-551fb044]" source="Windows-Client" crashType="n/a"><time year="2025" month="1" day="21" hour="5" minute="58" second="57" timeoffset="-300" timezone="Eastern Standard Time" crsessionduration="2915"/><user guid="b7d47344-a221-4709-b617-933d08ae0a9e"/><system platform="Windows 11 Pro" osversion="11.0" osbuild="22631" applicationlanguage="en-us" userlanguage="en-US" oslanguage="en-US" ram="130779" machine="13th Gen Intel

It would be a very helpful feature to have the option to enable dark mode for the menus in LrC.  Currently, from what tech support tells me, there is no option in Preference> Interface to set the mode for the menus.  I find there is a glitch, as the menus can be made to go into dark mode (assuming Windows is set to dark mode) by either clicking on the Map module then to the Develop or Library module or by changing the background color then selected Darker Gray or Black.  This somehow changes the menus to dark mode.
