Lightroom Classic

 ​@Anshul_Saini I am still experiencing this on 15.6.I have Assisted Culling enabled on my library, there are ~120k images left to process. Memory is not being released, and Lightroom will keep eating it until it crashes. There is no reason why it would need in excess of 20GB to process a queue. 

Hi guys, I'm just looking for a slider/button/setting to adjust the opacity while using the crop tool in LR (classic). As it's too much time consuming to display every ready cropped image on a second monitor while working through thousands of images, I want to avoid it. Helpful would be only to stay on the main display and let the cropped out parts of the image more faded out.So now my short question if there is any tool or setting to reduce the visibility of the imageparts outside the crop frame (maybe darken them more etc...)? Am I overlooking s.th. or isn't there no way?Thanks for your suggestions and ideas.

Lightroom Classic 15.6 on Windows 11 (26H2) took 30–56 seconds to start, showed "Not responding" in the title bar during startup, and you could watch the window being rebuilt after minimizing and restoring it. Strangely, if I started Lightroom immediately after Windows booted, it was fast and stayed fast for the whole session.Cause: Avast's "Do Not Disturb Mode". It appears to monitor every program started after Avast's user interface has loaded, including every window Lightroom creates. A Lightroom started before Avast's interface loads is not affected, which explains the "fast right after boot" pattern.Fix: Avast > Menu > Settings > Do Not Disturb Mode > switch it off. Result: catalog open in 12–14 seconds instead of 30–56, also when started late, and no more slow redraws. I confirmed it by switching the mode back on (slow again: 56 s) and off (fast again).Things that did NOT help, in case you're trying them: - Pausing Avast shields or adding Lightroom exclusions (the Do

This thread is for Camera Raw & Lightroom Classic feedback on the (Early Access) Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI)For the Lightroom Ecosystem feedback, click here.  The Lightroom team is dedicated to building capabilities that foster trust and transparency in the age of AI. Our latest release, as part of the Content Authenticity Initiative (https://contentauthenticity.org/), allows you to add content credentials to your work when exporting in Lightroom to ensure provenance and preserve authenticity.   New content credential capabilities are available across the Lightroom ecosystem (Lightroom, Lightroom Classic, Lightroom for mobile (iOS & Android), Lightroom for web), and Adobe Camera Raw in Early Access. When exporting a JPEG from Lightroom, you can attach your name, social media handle, and a list of edits via a digital signature.   You can find the option to apply Content Credentials while exporting a JPEG in the export panel. It is, by default, turned OFF

I am unable to sync any videos from downloads to the computer to access them in Lightroom. This began after I tried to sync videos from my phone to the cloud so I could access them in LR. This all seems to unnecessarily complicated. Can you help please? I’m using Windows 11 with LR v13-3

Desde ayer por la tarde, al querer usar uno de mis preset favoritos, veo que no lo traslada a la fotografía y me sale el siguiente mensaje todo el rato: “No se han podido descargar algunos modelos de IA. Inténtelo más tarde”.Nunca antes me había pasado, cómo puedo solucionarlo?Muchas gracias.

Lightroom Classic 15.6 Syncing is hanging for me. I started by deleting all my existing cloud data so that everything would be fresh today and then tried to sync a bunch of collections. Some already have smart previews, some don't. There are about 2500 images. Most of the images have synced but now I am down to the last 150, syncing seems to stop or hang. It now does anything between 2 and 4 each time I start lightroom, but no more. I have to close and restart for sync to continue. Is there a fix for this? Is it a known issue?

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 tested Lightroom Classic 15.6 using Assisted Culling followed by stacking by similarity on a folder that previously triggered the crash. The workflow completed successfully with no crash.However, after processing, Lightroom retained approximately 15.15 GB working set and 39.59 GB private committed memory, with no meaningful reduction during a 15-second observation. After closing and reopening Lightroom, usage returned to 2.68 GB working set / 3.31 GB private, and the generated culling scores remained available.Automatic Assisted Culling analysis is disabled for my catalog. So, in this controlled test, 15.6 appears to fix the heap-corruption crash, but unusually high memory retention may remain after processing.

Assisted Culling is now generally available in Lightroom ClassicTL; DR: Assisted Culling has graduated from Early Access to General Availability. It gives you a fast, reviewable first pass on large shoots: it surfaces your strongest frames and sets aside the obvious rejects, so you spend less time comparing near-duplicates. You stay in control: review everything, adjust the thresholds, and override any call. If you tried it back in October 2025, it's substantially more accurate now, especially for wedding, event, group, and portrait work. We'd love for you to give it another look and tell us what you think in this thread.  What it does Open an album or collection, run a cull, and Assisted Culling analyzes your images against the criteria you choose: Subject Sharpness, Eye Sharpness, Eyes Open, exposure, and more. It marks Selects and Rejects, shows you why behind every call, and leaves the final decision to you. How far it's come since Early Access  February 2026: Expanded from individ

No sure why I was unable to report a bug, and so I have to create this post. I have beent trying to import H.264 video and it consistently fails - tried with latest 15.6 and also 15.4.1 and 15.3.1 (just in case). The details are as follows… H.264 video import consistently fails with Dynamic Link server error on Apple Silicon MacSummaryLightroom Classic 15.6 on an Apple Silicon Mac cannot import H.264/AVC video.The import causes dynamiclinkmediaserver to consume approximately 100% CPU. After approximately one minute, Lightroom reports:An unknown error has occurred while reading the video file. Connecting to Dynamic Link server failed.

Computer: Mac Version TahaoeLightroom Classic Version:15.5.1 I have recently observed a significant number of synchronisation errors when attempting to share my images with Lightroom (cloud). Many of my images become stuck during the synchronisation process. I have already tried re-builidng sync data to no avail. Additionally, for images where I have utilised AI enhancements, I need to apply updates. However, when I press Command+Option+U to implement the updates, I receive an error message stating, "Failed to apply adjustments to the following photos. This is extremely frustrating, as I receive an incomplete copy of my catalogue when I am travelling and using Lightroom Cloud. Does anyone know what could be cuasing this or what i should look into as a likely suspect? Thanks in advance.

Adobe Lightroom 15.4.1 is crashing repeatedly during the culling process and causing my  pc computer to run terrible slow.  I had to remove it and roll back to a previous version of LRC

I’ve decided to move from Windows to a MacBook Pro. Apparently choosing the computer was the easy part — now I just have to decide how many kidneys the RAM upgrade is worth. :)I'm trying to understand how Lightroom Classic (LrC) actually scales with unified memory on Apple Silicon. M1–M5 experiences are all useful, especially 48/64/96/128 GB+.My current setup/workflow: i9-14900K → 64 GB DDR5 → RTX 4090 24 GB Canon R5 Mark II CR3s Heavy People masking → facial/body skin → hair → sclera → iris/pupil → clothes, etc. Transform Auto + local adjustments → Crop often late My priority is Develop responsiveness — Crop, masks, Transform, zoom/pan and image switching — not export or Denoise.I've seen the 4090's 24 GB VRAM fill while CPU/GPU usage remained surprisingly modest. Preliminary Apple Silicon testing also showed relatively modest CPU/GPU activity but much higher memory pressure than I expected.For those monitoring with Activity Monitor, iStat or similar: How much memory does LrC ac

Hello, Can somebody help me with this. In the beginning, with several thousand photos, I entered keywords without commas, separating the keywords with spaces. In preferences - interface were set to "separate keywords with comma." Now, when exporting to platforms like SmugMug, these photos appear with a bunch of keywords that aren't separated from one another. Is there a way to fix this for multiple photos at once? I tried changing in preference - interface to "separate keywords with space," but that didn't work for existing photos; for new ones, it separates the keywords with commas. I tried adding new keywords to multiple photos, but it separated the newly added ones with a comma, whereas the previous keywords were not.Many thanks, Robert

Hi, I am using Lightroom to stamp my photos. I am a event photographer and since now I 've been using other software to stamp my pics but I want to turn in lightroom. The problem I have is that it does not support (as far as I have searched and found) multiple watermarks. I need one watermark for my logo and one for the event organiser I photoshoot. So we have two png images. What I did for the first time is I exported the images with my logo and then load them again and export them with the event organiser's logo. I don't really like the proccess. How can I export in just one time both logos?cheers..!

On my Mac (27.01) on Friday 10/7/2026, Lightroom Classic updated to version 15.6.  Prior to the update, my folders looked like this in the Library module:After the update, they looked like this:Now only images from the last import are accessible (import was completed several days before the update).  All other folders show the number of images, but will not display any image thumbnails or previews.  How can I solve this?  For additional info, this is a screenprint of the actual folder structure on disk: 

I upgraded from iPhone 14 Pro Max to 17 Pro Max. For some reason when I put my photos taken with the new iPhone through Lightroom (mobile version) to export them as sRGB for socials they come out much darker in exposure. This happens to all of the photos. I tried again my old photos taken with the 14 Pro Max and I don't have this issue. How do I fix this and what is going on? This is driving me insane. Thank you very much!

Is Adobe AI Denoise fully optimized for GoPro MISSION 1 PRO 50 MP GPR RAW files?I've been comparing 12 MP and 50 MP RAW files from the new GoPro MISSION 1 PRO.Without AI Denoise, the 50 MP RAW files look very good and preserve more detail and color than the 12 MP files.However, after applying Enhance > Denoise, the 50 MP files frequently develop visible artifacts, while the 12 MP RAW files remain clean and natural.Other users have reported similar behavior.Is this a known limitation of the current AI Denoise model with these new GPR files, or could this indicate a bug?Are there any plans to optimize AI Denoise for GoPro MISSION 1 PRO 50 MP RAW files in a future Camera Raw update?

So I don’t use lightroom for anything that graphics intensive. It’s main purpose as far as I am concerned is to embed keywords into the files. But When I tried exporting an image, it turned my desktop black. I am sure this is probably indicative of a much bigger problem because who cares about lack of wallpaper on a desktop. Anyway, I googled that it was probably something to do with incompatibility with drivers or not having the latest version of lightroom. [BTW, I turned off auto updates because the updates always ruin everything and make everything unusable with all this AI bloatware… but I digress]. This time, I updated lightroom and it still happened.Is this reallyl a thing. And do I need to permanently turn off graphics card acceleration? Really? It keeps nagging me to turn it on too.I have the latest Nvidia driver from the Windows update site [or Dell or whatever it is]. No, I did not download the latest Studio driver from Nvidia’s website via their dedicated app because it seem

I am not sure what is causing the problem you see below. It only happens when I am tethered to LRC and scanning film negatives. I am using a Canon EOS R5 and the 100mm R macro lens. I have been using the same setup for three years and until a couple of months ago I never had an issue. Thankfully I was away for the summer and hoped that by purchasing a new Tether Tools cable while away the problem would disappear on my return… it didn’t. I removed the lens, cleaned the lens & camera connections, used a different battery, removed the memory card, tried another lens and no change.  The camera software is up to date.The flashing symbols only appear in tether mode and not while shooting nor does it leave an imprint on the negative scan or image. I could ignore it, but I am almost sure there must be an explanation for it. The camera has never been used for anything other than scanning and has never been outside so it can’t be overuse.edit: I have a Mac Studio desktop and MAC OS Tahoe 26.
