Lightroom Classic

If I keep all the Lr backups, do I also need to keep all download backups or is it a duplication? It all takes a lot of space.

I have problems with the AI-based denoising in Lightroom Classic 14.2 on Leica Q2 images.When I use the function on Q2 images, the results are almost always unusable. For comparison: With my Sony A7RII, the denoising usually delivers usable results. Does anyone know this problem? Here is a small comparison: Both pictures were taken in RAW format with ISO 3200 and aperture 8: Leica Q2:Sony A7R2:

Seit des letzten Updates Version 14.2 von LRC unter Windows 11 werden die Metadaten nicht mehr automatisch gespeichert, obwohl dies aktiviert ist. Nach einer Neuinstallation kann ich auch nicht mehr manuell speichern, weil die Fotos angeblich schreibgeschützt sind

lrc gets stuck on Backing up Lightroom Catalog -- Optimizing bid data storage -- how do I fix this? 

I moved to a new computer, and updated lightroom version all in the past few weeks.I dodn't work for a while, due to personal issues, and now started to work again and it is extremley slow !!!When I move from one photo to the next it takes 10 seconds to display it.It is also extremely slow on import, building previews, when I select the auto edit, or If I do undo.by the way: If I edit using the slider, say increase exposure it works immediatly. working on windows 11  pro  versoin 24H2windows: Version 10.0.26100 Build 26100 I have lightroom classis version 14.2Camera Raw version 17.2   Lightroom Classic version: 14.2 [ 202502071718-3869eef7 ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: enOperating system: Windows 11 - Business EditionVersion: 11.0.26100Application architecture: x64System architecture: x64Logical processor count: 28Processor speed: 2.1GHzSqLite Version: 3.36.0CPU Utilisation: 0.0%Power Source: Plugged InBuilt-in memory: 65375.1 MBDedicated GPU memory used by L

Hej! I need help to understand what is the issue with my computer, and running lightroom specifically. Photoshop is no problem outside of opening images to edit from lightroom directly.  In lightroom any small edit adjustment brings up the dreaded spinning wheel and the situation I think has gotten gradually worse over the last months. I tried to make some adjustments and clear some space - for example moving my dropbox to online only.  I suspect it is the computer - but perhaps the external drive where the images are stored?  Here is the file with the system info. Any help appreciated.

I am in the process of moving from a Windows laptop to a MacBook Pro. I have copied my Develop presets from my Windows laptop. Is there a particular location I should store them on my MacBook? For now, I have put them in a convenient location: a folder in Pictures, where I store my Lightroom catalog and associated Lightroom program files. I imported a few presets from there. But should I be storing them somewhere else? For example, If I create new Develop presets later, will Lightroom automatically store the new Develop presets elsewhere, so that I should really put the existing Develop presets in that same location to keep the presets together? Thanks.

Possible Bug:I tried to copy all settings using normal Edit > Copy while in Develop > Masking and could not copy.  Switched to Adjustments mode and copy worked as expected.LRC february 2025WIN 11 

suddentely, i cant export my photos. LR gives me un unkow wrror, so, i dont even know what the problem is. i re-installed, I gave the PC to an IT colleague, that reset some settings, and it worked 3 times. after it, it stopped exporting again. i changed several exportings settings, but the problem dont go away....   PS: how the f**** can i talk with somebody of Adobe?! we are paying for a software but also for a service, and i cant find any direct contact to them. only stupid bots and FAQs!thank you for your support

Hello, I no longer have a subscription to adobe i just wanted to open lightroom to export some old photos and to my knowledge this was possible without a subscription (I had done it before) but now adobe is asking me for a subscription or free trail. Does adobe now doesnt allow the use organization/export in lightroom classic without a subscription? Did i just get locked out of all my photos and edits by adobe?

Hallo, ich nutze Lightroom Classic Version 14.2, MacBook Pro 14" M1, Mac OS 15.3.2 (24D81) und habe seit ca. 5,6 Monate ein wirklich nerviges Problem. Bis dato war es immer so, wenn ich Bilder exportiert habe hat er mir den zuletzt ausgewählten Ordner vom vorherigen Export als Verzeichnis vorgeschlagen. Seit kurzem wählt er immer (!) den Schreibtisch aus.  Erklärt an einem Beispiel:- Ich exportiere 5 Bilder in den Ordner bzw. das Verzeichnis: Schreibtisch-Projekt xy-Export-Webfotos - Exportiere kurz darauf (ohne LR zu schließen) 5 weitere Bilder. Früher war ich dann automatisch in dem Ordner den ich zuletzt für den Export ausgewählt habe. Nun schlägt er jedes mal den Schreibtisch vor. Kann sich das jemand erklären? Wie bekomme ich das behoben? Ich stoße tagtäglich auf dieses Problem mehrere male und es kostet mich wirklich eine Menge Zeit. Danke & Cheers! 

My subscription ended, I need to export some photos because of work, I should be able too, I don't get the option to even open lightroom, i can only buy or uninstall. I read I was going to be able to export my work after subscription ended. I need to, then all my work is lost because I no longer want to pay subscription? I understand not being able to edit but I payed for your software to be able to edit my photos. Now i need to pay to export my photos from your program? what the hell is that? seriously?? and no way to contact because i'm no longer a paying costumer? WTH???/ Those photos are mine and I should be able to export photos from my catalog to JPG. What a cash grab seriously you are not here to make our life easier, now that you guys are a monopoly are effin everyone over? WTH!!?

Linear and radial gradient mask no longer have controls once placed over photograph.  Previously masks could be moved, resized etc. now there are no handles or controls what-so-ever.  I un-installed and re-installed LRc.  Updated video drivers.  Updated Windows OS.     Lightroom Classic version: 11.5 [ 202208080927-8a575c91 ]License: Creative CloudOperating system: Windows 10 - Business EditionVersion: 10.0.19044

The Heal overlay used to work perfectly in previous versions of Lightroom Classic for Windows. You just pushed "H" to hide or unhide. Now, in 13.4 the closest thing is to use "Auto", but it shows you all the heal spots and you can't do a heal that is overlapping a place that has already been healed, unless you change to "Never", but then you can't see the overlay that shows you where you are sampling from. I hope this makes sense.   Is this a bug, or is lightroom going backwards?   It's driving me bonkers!   

Hello,I can tether seamlessly with my Canon 6D old camera with exactly the same software. But when I use my new Canon R6M2 + new TetherTool cable, LM connects with the camera, I can do live view, remote trigger. But after photos are taken, they do not show up on the designated folder. What is going on? PLEASE HELP!

LrC is not syncing at all. I think I can trace it to installation of 14.2, possibly before, as I haven't taken a lot of pictures lately. Import works fine for two cameras but there is absolutely no syncing with LR Mobile or lightroom.adobe.com. Photos from iPhone show up and sync fine, but not imports. I have tried all the standard advice:- Pause sync > Resume sync. No change.- Pause sync > quit LR > reopen LR > resume sync. No change.- Quit LR, reopen without pausing sync. No change. (That would get syncing unstuck in the past.)- Rebuild sync data (at least 5 times). No change.- Generate diagnostic report (can't understand it)- Restart iMac as well as shut down all the way then restart, numerous times. No change.- Clear cache on iPhone. No change.- Do a minor edit on a few photos. No change.- Opt-Shift on opening LR to reset preferences. No change.- Probably a couple other things and nothing works.- Cloud icon has the check mark in the green circle indicating "Synced" but

J'ai migré d'un iMac27" sur un Mac Mini et depuis lorsque je clique droit sur une photo je n'ai plus la main sur "modifier dans. "

I am running LRC v14.2 and Win11. Since I have 2 computers I have my catalog on external harddisk. This solution has been working fine for a long time, however lately (v14 ?) I have now discovered that LRC damage (delete) my original RAW photos in a way that I loose them. They are deleted from my disk.   I put my raw files in different folders and add them in to the catalog. In the library module I rename the pictures, then I go to Develop module for adjustment and export them as JPEG photos. All this is working fine. The problem is that in my previos folder all RAW files has been deleted and the RAW files from last folder is copied in to that folder.  In the libary module I can see the picture, but in Develop module it says "The file could not be found"

 I get an error message when I run a backup. I have checked the permissions and access - everything is ok. Could the error be that I have Time Machine running on my mac studio? 

 Olá,Estou enfrentando um problema no Lightroom Classic totalmente atualizado. Ao importar fotos aplicando um preset contendo máscaras IA, as máscaras não atualizam automaticamente. Em vez disso, aparece uma exclamação com o aviso:"Algumas máscaras precisam ser atualizadas."Como trabalho com grande volume de fotos (acima de 2000 por vez), atualizar manualmente as máscaras após a importação se torna inviável devido ao tempo necessário.Medidas já tomadas sem sucesso:Contato prévio com o suporte da Adobe (inclusive com acesso remoto);Reinstalação do Lightroom Classic;Formatação do PC e reinstalação de diferentes versões do Windows.O problema persiste independentemente das versões utilizadas. Gostaria de saber se há alguma solução definitiva para esse comportamento.Alguém já passou ou está passando por este erro?E tem solução???

Hey everybody, So ive got a lot of photos of people standing in the same position but they shift slightly between photos since i was adjusting my stance a bit. I want to edit one photo and also apply a subject-mask and copy all that to the next of the same people and just move the mask a tiny bit over, but i cannot move the mask! I see the mask "pin" (the little people icon) but cannot click it and move it over a few millimeters. How do i move the mask around like usual with other masks? Subject masks cannot be moved using the mask's pin? Re-creating the mask and redoing all its edits each time is not an option as it is too slow and costing too much money. Thank you for any info or the "must be super obvious right in front of me" setting to allow it to move.
