Title: Lightroom Classic 15.6 – Moving selected photo to another folder loses active Grid selectionThis is 100% reproducible in a brand-new catalog containing only 17 photos. Delete works correctly; Move does not. I have deliberately ruled out catalog corruption, sorting, Auto Advance, GPU, folder hierarchy, and multiple selectionEnvironmentLightroom Classic: 15.6 Operating system: Windows Lightroom Classic Library module, Grid view Local folders Problem occurs with both Capture Time and File Name sorting GPU acceleration tested both enabled and disabledProblemWhen I select a photo in Library/Grid view and drag it to another folder using the Folders panel, Lightroom removes the photo from the current Grid but does not make the next photo in sequence active.Instead, the Grid remains displayed with no active photo selected. Navigation keys/commands then behave as though there is no current selection; pressing Right Arrow or Ctrl+Right Arrow jumps to the last photo in the Grid.This is dis

my windows 11 desktop with LRC 15.6 is useless. NOT RESPONDING. Crashes no matter what-can’t open catalog. I get NOT RESPONDING NO MATTER WHAT I DO.  MY LAPTOP with 15.5.` LRC still works. WHEN CAN I EXPECT A STABLE 15.6??????????????????

When you select to auto mask the sky, you can darken the sky using exposure. Sometimes the sky is still blown out. A quick “auto fill” sky button would be amazing. AI would use the same sky color that is available elsewhere in the photo, or, you could set the color using a color selector- or just tell it “daytime” or “sunset”. It would work for blown out skies out windows as well for indoor shots. You can get this effect using other features, but this would make it fast and easy in Lightroom. When pulling exposure down on the sky on a JPG image, sometimes you get bars of choppy color gradient. There could be a “auto smooth” sky option to make the sky and fix the choppy bar gradient.   

I updated to LrC 15.5 a few hours ago.  Since then LrC has problems with video files.  The first problem I noticed was that when I tried to synchronize a folder that had two new video files.  After a couple of minutes I got the error message “An unknown error occurred while reading the video file. (2)”.  I had just completed those files with DaVinci Resolve so I went back and produced the same files again to check if DR had made an error.  When I tried again with the new files but got the same errors.  I was able to play both videos without any issue using VLC Media Player, so they seem to be OK.  I then shutdown LrC and did a backup including optimizing the catalog, and then restarted it to see if that made any difference, but same error.  Then I started looking at other videos that were already in LrC and found that when browsing them in the Library module, most of them pop up a message “There was an error working with the video”.  They will not play in LrC but work fine with VLC Med

I want to opem this as a bug but unlike posting a question when I am prompted to click continue to provide more details I get a blank page independent of what browser I am using. Here is my bug discrption. Can anyone help me create this as a bug? Using latest version of Lightroom Classic on Mac running macOS Tahoe Version 26.6.2. The profile browser (in grid mode) displays only a subset of the profiles that are part of the profile. If I expand the width of the browser I can get to a point where all profiles of a profile group are displayed but the view is messed up. Generally, it will show 3 thumbnails in a row with the last one only partially visible. If I chose this third thumbnail the row is then moved all the way to the righty so much that I can no longer see many of the profile names. I did a reset preferences of LR but the problem persists.

 I'm doing a lot of work where I have 2 different edits for images and it takes forever to go back and copy the other edit and then have to go back again to copy different edit. I don't want to create a preset since the edits might just be for that specific day/time.

Since updating to latest version 15.3 I cannot use my presets or update AI edits.When I try I get a box appear saying I am downloading AI models. This gets to 99% then stops. Then when I try to use presets or update the AI edits I get a red box that says ‘some Ai models failed to download. Please try again later.This has been going on since yesterday. I have tried uninstalling LR and reverting to previous version but problem persists.  Any ideas?  

A too large number of files imported into LRc are grey-ed out with the message that preview could not be created .A significant number of them are of images of documents.  So, I considered that as a source of the problem,but I have plenty of other documents imported into LR and the preveiw process worked as advertised.I tried importing just the problem images (the previous import were part of a bunch of images importedat the sae time. Still could not get previews.  I tried forcing the ffiles to convert using "Build Previews"  No luck there. Could not find a solution in the posts. I did not start deleting catalogs and then re-importing the files as someone on another post suggested (!?)  Do you have anything to suggest I should consider doing to correct this?I am running an Apple M3 with whatever is the latest and greatest OS.  All images are Tiff.Thanks in advance for any help you can spare.

the don't show either at the library or any other place just the gray box, I already tried deleting the damage preview.s.lrdata but the problem keeps happening. Can you help me please?

Summary: Lightroom Classic throws a generic "unknown error" when importing HEVC video files tagged as hvc1, which is the default output format for DJI cameras (tested with DJI Osmo Action 6). The same file remuxed to use the hev1 codec tag imports without issues. No re-encoding is performed — the video bitstream is identical.Steps to reproduce:Record video on a DJI Osmo Action 6 (or likely any DJI camera outputting HEVC). Or use attached input file. Attempt to import the resulting .MP4 file into Lightroom Classic via File → Import LrC throws "unknown error" and fails to importWorkaround: Remux the file using ffmpeg with no quality loss:ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c copy -tag:v hev1 -map 0:v:0 -map 0:a:0 output.mp4The resulting file (attached) imports correctly.File properties (ffprobe):Codec: HEVC / H.265 Profile: Main 10 Resolution: 3840×2160 Codec tag (original, failing): hvc1 Codec tag (remuxed, working): hev1 Color: yuv420p10le, bt709Expected behavior: Both hvc1 and hev1 are valid, spec-c

Since a few weeks, my Lightroom Classic (15.3.1 release on macOS Tahoe 26.5.1) gets stuck or stops responding on simple tasks like:Building standard or 1:1 previews (it gets stuck on ‘Building previews: 3 of …’ but never actually creates one preview) Photo Merge (HDR, Panorama or HDR-Panorama, here the cursor immediately starts spinning and the merge preview does not even pop up) Importing (I can select a source (for example an SD card) but it gets stuck on Checking for duplicates, even when I turn off 'Don't import suspected duplicates’) Exporting (in export I can select all the settings and hit Export but the progress bar remains stuck at zero.I have to use Force Quit to quit Lightroom when it’s not responding.This happens 9 out of 10 times I open up Lightroom, the occasional 1 time everything works fine and I can go on for hours merging huge panoramas or building previews of 100s of photos without problems. But whenever I close and reopen Lightroom the next time it doesn’t work anym

After updating Lightroom Classic to version 15.6, all Develop module sliders jump to incorrect values when I click and drag them. For example, when I try to increase Exposure to approximately +1.00, the slider immediately jumps to a completely incorrect value, sometimes around -4 or another unexpected position. The same problem occurs with Exposure, Contrast, Highlights, Shadows and other Develop sliders. Directly typing the numerical value into the field works correctly. The problem occurs specifically when dragging the slider with the mouse. I tested a different mouse and the problem remained. I reset Lightroom Classic Preferences and the problem remained. I also tested a completely new Lightroom Classic catalog and the problem still occurs. I also tested with GPU display acceleration disabled, but the problem remained. The problem started after updating to Lightroom Classic 15.6. Before the update, the sliders worked normally. System:Mac with Apple M2 ProLightroom Classic 15.6macOS 

I am working on a Mac Pro 2019 running Tahoe 26.7.1. I use PS 27.10.0 and LrC 15.6. Until recently, I had no trouble organizing my photos in LrC, making preliminary adjustments, and then taking them into PS for more precise adjustments. Now, if I make any adjustments to a DNG file imported into an LrC catalog, the “Edit in Adobe Photoshop 2026” command opens PS but somehow does not transfer the picture; i.e., it doesn’t show, and I can’t work on it in PS. Oddly, if I do the same with an unedited file, it will appear in PS.What is going on here?I tried throwing out the old versions of PS and LrC and rebooting the computer, but nothing helped. My workflow has been hit where it hurts, and if this issue can’t be resolved (my online research shows this problem has been known for quite some time), I’ll be forced to redesign my entire editing setup, including how I organize my photos. I’m sure you understand that I am very reluctant to take on that task. But Adobe is starting to look less and

Hello,I hope someone here can help me with an activation problem with my old Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 6 perpetual license.I purchased Lightroom 6 as a perpetual license years ago. The product was registered to my Adobe account on February 12, 2016, and it is still listed in my Adobe account as a registered product.I am now trying to install and use Lightroom 6 again on a Windows 11 PC.However, Lightroom reports:“The serial number has already been used on the maximum number of computers allowed.”It asks me either to deactivate another computer or enter another serial number.The strange partI have already signed out/deactivated Lightroom on my old computers and removed some of the old installations.When I check my Adobe account, “Activated devices” shows no activated devices at all.So I have a legitimately purchased and registered Lightroom 6 license, but Lightroom still reports that the activation limit has been reached.What I have triedUsed my original Lightroom 6 serial number. Used

I am unable to export my catalog from my travel laptop.  It hangs partway through.  I’ve tried moving the location to a different place on the HD and reimporting.  I’ve tried exporting to a variety of places, both internal and external. I’ve tried optimizing the catalog.  I’ve tried quitting and restarting LR classic.  Configuration: 2026 MacBook Pro running Tahoe

I have been trying to resolve an issue with several Lightroom 2 TB redemption codes through Adobe Support since July 2026. Despite multiple support cases and escalations, there is still no working solution.The problem itself is actually quite simple:I had an older Lightroom 2 TB redemption code, which I redeemed first. This activated a Lightroom subscription.I then purchased two additional Lightroom 2 TB redemption codes. Naturally, I expected these codes to extend the duration of my existing Lightroom subscription.Instead, the two new codes created a second, separate Lightroom subscription with a two-year term.So I now have two Lightroom 2 TB subscriptions running in parallel, even though all I wanted to do was extend the duration of my existing subscription.My specific question to the community, and especially to Adobe, is:How can the subscription periods from the two newer redemption codes be combined with the Lightroom subscription activated by the older code, so that I end up with

When a video is exported from Lightroom Classic, the “Capture Date” (CreateDate or DateTimeDigitized) is overwritten with the time of the export. However, the “Capture Date” must not be changed during export. It works when exporting photos.

I run LrC on a Windows 11 computer with German as system language.From 15.5.1 on LrC does not show its UI after its launch after having changed the language in the Presets to English. It is only shown in the Windows Task Manager as Background Process.My test sequence:Today I updated LrC from 15.5.1 to 15.6: LrC showed its UI, the Presets switched the language to the system language, in my case German. I switched the language to English and clicked “Restart ...”. LrC restarted and no UI was shown, only as Background Process.Then I downgraded LrC from 15.6. to 15.5.1: exactly the same as aboveThe I updated LrC from 15.5.1 to 15.6 again and after launching it the UI is shown - in German.I’m afraid to change the language again.

Hello, In LrC when I try to press the button Edit in Adobe Photoshop, it doesn't work at all.I went to the External settings and saw that photoshop 2026 is set as editor so it's ok. The main problem is that the button isn't greyed out, but clicking on it won't open PS, and don't do anything at all. Lightroom classic version: 15.1Photoshop version: 27.2 I tried to uninstall and reinstall them, or even following similar discussion here, but it still doesn't work. Could I ask if anyone of you faced the problem with the latest version? And give me a sggestion on how to fix it? Thanks

Se cierra más o menos a los 50 segundos de abrirlo. He probado las soluciones que se indican para este error en esta web de Abobe, pero sigue cerrándose. Lo he desistalado y reinstalado, pero sigue con el mismo problema.

when trying to use presets I'm getting the error saying some AI models are downloading please try again later.   This is making the program unusable.
