Lightroom Classic

I would like to know which “AI” processes are counted and automatically tagged as such.Since I’m required now to mark images as “Made with AI” and I’m still not sure how that truly applies; I’d like to see how much of the LR features that made it worthwhile I can still use without having to have my clients put AI badges all over the place, or having to provide them with 10 different versions for Social media so the markings are “clearly recognizable” on an iphone 4s as well.Discussing the principle of “faking”, i.e. retouching vs. doing it with/without AI is futile in the face of EU lawmaking, but what processes would I have to circumvent so my work doesn’t get automatically flagged via creator cloud?As much as I love the AI mass masking features, I’ve done well without them for decades and I’d rather live without my work being inadvertently AI tainted. Imo, many automated processes are and have been using some sort of artificial intelligence, video games with “opponents” always did. T

I upload Iphone photos from my phone to the LR Cloud using the LR Phone App. I then go into LrC and let them sync back down to my desktop. No problem so far. Once the photo files are safely on my desktop I unsync from the cloud. I then assign keywords and other metatdata whilst in LrC. My next step is to sync the photos back to the Cloud as smart previews. I do this by dragging the photos to an already synced collection. However, they don't sync. They try for about 3 mins and then they remove themselves from the synced collection. However, they still appear under "All synced Photos" and the blue sync ball continues to spin. However, when I remove these photos from "All synced photos" the green tick immediately appears. To sync these photos I have to restart LrC and then again drag the photos the the synced collection. They then sync properly in seconds. I should add it makes no difference whether I delete smart previews, delete the deleted original files from the deleted folder, save t

Compare view often incorrectly labels a photo as having an embedded preview. To reproduce on LR 15.5 / Mac OS 26.4.1 (see the attached screen recording): 1. Download and open the attached catalog. Observe that Catalog Settings > Standard Preview Size is 2880. 2. Right-click folder "test-pics" and do Synchronize Folder, selecting Show Import Dialog Before Importing. Set the import option File Handling > Build Previews to Embedded & Sidecar. Observe in Grid view that X.ARW is marked with the embedded-preview badge (correct). 3. Do Library > Previews > Build 1:1 Previews, selecting Build All. Observe that neither photo has the embedded-preview badge (correct). 4. With X.ARW selected, go to Compare view. Observe that it says Embedded Preview at the bottom of X.ARW (incorrect). 5. Go to Grid view. 6. Select X.jpg and go to Compare view. Observe that X.jpg is labeled with Embedded Preview (incorrect). 7. Go to Grid view and restart LR. 8. Select X.ARW and go to Compare view.

Olá, estou tentando realizar uma captura vinculada e o Lightroom não está identificando a câmera. Estou utilizando uma Sony 7CM2, um Samsung Book 4, Windows 11… Já testei em um Dell e a câmera vincula corretamente, mas no Samsung não conecta. Alguém enfrentando o mesmo problema?

While working on a project doing a lot of parameters sync, all the pictures suddenly disappeared from the directory.There were 258 pictures in this directory.The directory on the disk is also empty.I have copied back the files from a backup and re-sync the directory in Lightroom.I had to do again the modifications I have done before.

Yes, this exact question has been raised many times in the past and those posts have all been closed as “answered” without any resolution.  This is still an issue.I open LrC, import and make edits.  LrC sits idle with computer running for at least an hour.  Try to close LrC and it spends several minutes  "Writing Metadata Changes into XMP" before the app exits.  What is LrC doing while idle after the last edit was made that it now needs to do when I’m trying to shut down the computer?  This is unacceptably poor performance but vaguely understandable as edits were in fact made.  Why are the XMP writes not happening during idle time rather than forced immediately at exit?The same delay occurs without making edits.  Open LrC, make no edits and immediately try to open another catalog.  LrC shows the "Writing Metadata Changes into XMP" message for several minutes before finally restarting with the other catalog.  This is after LrC spent several minutes  "Writing Metadata Changes into XMP" p

LrC --> Library --> library Filter: when I set on filter type "raw" and I view date by date, with every change of date the file type filter switches to "all types", so it does not stick on type "raw".  Can I keep it fixed on a certain type?

Oftentimes, I cull my images in Lightroom and rate my selections from 1–5 stars. Once I’m finished, I want to filter the images to show anything rated one star or higher. However, Lightroom frequently defaults the filter back to “equal to”, so clicking one star only displays images rated exactly one star, causing me to miss images rated two stars or higher.I recommend adding an option to lock the star-rating filter setting to “greater than or equal to” so Lightroom remembers the user’s preference instead of continually reverting to “equal to.”Rating is equal to - This auto populates all the time and sometimes I dont notice. 

I installed the latest update a few days ago.  This is for Lightroom Classic 15. Ever since that time, when I try to read metadata from files, it never completes. I can highlight 5 images at a time and successfully get it to complete, but if over 6 images, it starts and never completes.  

Since recent Lightroom Desktop updates, rapidly culling imported photos has become noticeably slower.Steps to reproduce:1. Open a large series of imported photos in Detail view.2. Enable Caps Lock for automatic advance.3. Press and hold Z to flag photos as Pick, or X to flag them as Reject.4. Keep the key pressed to move continuously through the series.Expected result:Lightroom should advance through the photos quickly and smoothly while the key is held down. Previously, this worked almost like watching a high-FPS burst as a video.Actual result:The flow now repeatedly stutters and stalls. Lightroom pauses between photos before continuing, making this fast culling workflow much slower than before.System:Lightroom Desktop, cloud-based version 9.5macOS 26.6.1MacBook Pro with Apple M3 Max and 128 GB memoryAdditional information:I work with Sony α1 II cameras, producing RAW files of approximately 55 MB each.

Hello,   Since upgrading to my new very powerful system, Lightroom Classic (version 15.0) has been performing extremely slowly.   Issue description: There are significant delays (several seconds, sometimes up to 10 seconds) before Lightroom responds, particularly when using the following tools:   • Masking (people, subject, background)• Color mixer / color correction• Crop overlay tool   All basic adjustments (exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, etc.) work normally. Other Adobe applications (After Effects, Photoshop, etc.) run completely smoothly. My previous, weaker system did not have these problems.   System specifications: • Windows 11 Pro (x64), Build 26100.6899 (25H2)• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti (AMD onboard GPU disabled)• AMD Ryzen 9 9950X (16 cores, 4.30 GHz)• 128 GB DDR5 RAM (4×32 GB Corsair)• Mainboard: ASRock X870 Steel Legend WiFi• Catalog located on an external SanDisk Extreme SSD (1 TB) connected via high-speed USB hub   Steps already ta

I start with an edited version (lightroom adjustments only) of a photo in lightroom. I make a copy of it and then click reset on the new copy. This copy is essentially no modifications at this point. I then edit that copy in photoshop. When I am done editing in PS, I save it. I then open that PS-modified version in lightroom and paste ALL settings I have copied from the original to this new TIFF version. I expect the changes to work but it looks wrong. I notice the REMOVED tool item masks are strange. It looks like the REMOVE masks in the version that I pasted to are 90 degrees rotated - clockwise. Basically, copy/paste of masks does not work from a raw file to a tiff version. It’s like PS messed up the orientation indicator or something and LR got confused?

If I turn off GPU usage in preferences and restart LR I get the same result - a dark mono image displayed after denoise.The system info from LR is as follows:Lightroom Classic version: 15.5 [ 202607291506-b8869fa7 ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: enOperating system: Windows 11 - Business EditionVersion: 11.0.26200Application architecture: x64System architecture: x64Logical processor count: 16Processor speed: 3.6GHzSqLite Version: 3.36.0Adobe GSDK Version: 1.4.0.213CPU Utilisation: 0.0%Power Source: Plugged InBuilt-in memory: 32315.4 MBDedicated GPU memory used by Lightroom: 1194.5MB / 128.0MB (933%)Real memory available to Lightroom: 32315.4 MBReal memory used by Lightroom: 5499.2 MB (17.0%)Virtual memory used by Lightroom: 5962.6 MBGDI objects count: 841USER objects count: 2612Process handles count: 2270Memory cache size: 724.2MBInternal Camera Raw version: 18.5 [ 2673 ]Maximum thread count used by Camera Raw: 5Camera Raw SIMD optimization: SSE2,AVX,AVX2Camera Raw virtual mem

Hi there,I got a new computer after a couple of years of exclusively using Lr mobile or on the iPad.Since my cloud quota was quite full, I’m in the process of syncing all my photos from the cloud down to LrC. The plan is to take the photos synced down out of ‘All synced photographs’, then put them back in order to upload only the smart previews. I’ve seen a lot of users do this successfully! However, for any photos in which I’ve tried this process (I’ve attempted this with very small batches before committing to all my photos) the sync process gets stuck at uploading.Please note:If I’m importing brand new images into the catalog and into ‘All synced photographs’, putting them into a collection or not, the syncing behaves as it should. There is no items pending sync in any other devices, and no items in the ‘sync errors’ folder in Lr web. I have updated LrC to the latest version.I’m really at a loss here and will appreciate any help.Thanks in advance!

Hi,I recently switched from a MacBook to a Windows PC, and it seems to me that Lightroom Classic is not working properly — although Adobe support says everything is fine.The program runs very slowly. When using masks, there is a noticeable delay in the preview, and the image appears to jump or refresh. I’ve attached a video below showing the issue:https://youtu.be/Rdp1xHr3LAk?si=JiAgedctehGnfyoIIs this normal? On my MacBook M1 I never had any problems with smooth performance.I also noticed that when Lightroom Classic is open, the entire computer seems to slow down — even moving a Chrome window feels laggy and stutters. When the program is closed, everything becomes much smoother again.Here is my computer specification: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D ASUS Prime X870-P WIFI 192 GB DDR5 5200 MHz RAM RTX 5080 16 GB 2 TB Samsung 990 PRO M.2 (up to 7450 MB/s) 4 TB Samsung 990 PRO M.2 (up to 7450 MB/s) 4 TB Samsung 990 PRO M.2 (up to 7450 MB/s) 1200 W BeQuiet modular PSU Fractal Meshify

When I try to open LrC a system error pops up, "The code execution cannot proceed because mfc140u.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem" I have tried to uninstall and reinstall, and it still pops up.

It pushed me to finally look into why my setup has been struggling.For a while now, Adobe Lightroom Classic just hasn’t been running like it used to. Editing feels sluggish, and once I get into Develop—especially with masks—it really starts to grind.What’s frustrating is that it used to run smoothly on this same machine. Something has clearly changed, and I’m trying to figure out what.In the Adobe Lightroom Classic System Info, I’m seeing GPUDeviceEnabled: false, which (as I understand it) means Lightroom isn’t actually using my 3080 Ti.What’s confusing is that:In Lightroom Preferences → Perfo
