As a photographer, I work across multiple genres—including composites, focus-stacking, timelapses, and multi-camera shoots. The single biggest flaw with Lightroom's current sorting system is that when I return to an old set of images months down the road, it is impossible to remember why I originally applied specific labels or stars.Currently, if I change the text names in a Color Label Set to fit a new project, it breaks the labeling on all my past work, turning them into "Unknown Labels." I am trapped between breaking past organization or being forced to use an overly rigid system where I can't remember what my own color codes mean.What I am requesting:Permanent, Per-Image Label Metadata: When I name a label, that text name should be permanently stamped into that specific image's metadata. If I change my labeling workflow for a new shoot tomorrow, my old photos should still retain their original, readable label names so I always know why they were marked. Custom Color Wheel Picker: T
When I choose “Generate using Firefly” from Lightroom Classic, my default browser (Firefox, latest version) opens but the page just gets stuck on loading and never completes the upload. I have tried other browsers - Edge, Chrome & Vivaldi - when I select an image to upload the process simply doesn’t happen. I choose an image and - zilch. The page stays as it is.
Depuis la dernière mise à jour version 15.5, lorsque je shoote en mode connecté via USB, boitier canon 5D MKIII, lorsque je veux sélectionner mon collimateur de mise au point, j’appuie sur le bouton de mon boitier pour faire apparaitre mes collimateurs, et l’affichage disparait aussitôt. impossible dans ce cas de changer le collimateur. Cela fonctionne lorsque je ne suis pas connecté et avec la version précédente de LR (15.3.1) car la suivante me posait des problèmes, je ne pouvais plus déclencher mon appareil après quelques photos, toujours en mode connecté
Just starting today the Map module is leaving behind markers for a photo or photos that have been moved. It also continues to show markers for photos that have been opened but are no longer in the directory being worked in. If I leave LRC and come back in, all is well but I've never had to do this before. It is more of an annoyance than a major issue, but it does clutter up my screen while moving things. I am in the process of locating old photos that have inaccurate or no geotagging and this behavior is slowing me down. I’m running 15.3 on a MacBook Air. Has anyone else seen this or have a suggestion of how to fix this behavior?
Hi everyone,First, ChatGPT helped writing this post since i have been talking with it about this question yesterday the whole day. now the question below:I'm having a really weird problem with Lightroom Classic and I'm running out of things to try.When I switch Lightroom Classic to Chinese, most of the UI becomes garbled/unreadable. The really strange part is that the top menu bar displays Chinese normally, while most of the rest of the Lightroom interface is messed up.Even stranger: Photoshop on the same PC displays Chinese perfectly.So I'm starting to think this might be something specific to Lightroom's UI/text rendering rather than a general Windows Chinese-font problem.SystemWindows 11 Build: 10.0.26200.8875 Lightroom Classic 15.5 Windows display language: English (United States) Display scaling: 150% Lightroom scaling: Auto Chinese fonts: Microsoft YaHei installedThings I've already triedI've gone pretty far down the troubleshooting rabbit hole:Uninstalled and reinstalled Lightr
SummaryAfter Lightroom Classic repaired a corrupted catalog, cloud sync froze indefinitely ("Syncing 186 photos") with no error shown anywhere in the UI. The console log shows the sync engine repeatedly failing to write its DNG-proxy bookkeeping rows because it re-uses row IDs that already exist: the repair left the catalog (.lrcat) and the sync store (Sync.lrdata) restored to inconsistent points in time. Each app relaunch synced exactly ~20 more assets before freezing again. Rebuilding sync data (renaming Sync.lrdata) resolved it completely.EnvironmentLightroom Classic 15.5 on macOS 26.4.1 (build 25E253), Apple Silicon ~432 MB catalog, sync enabled to Lightroom cloud Affected assets: JPEG film scans, which go through DNG-proxy conversion for syncSteps that led to the bugCatalog became corrupted mid-session while sync had ~186 assets queued (the sync engine had just written a batch of new proxy records to AgDNGProxyInfo).

Can i delete this temp folder without causing any problems in adobe programs?
Since the most recent Camera Raw update, all CR3 thumbnails show as purple lines on MacBook Air. Tried trashing and reinstalling Camera Raw and deleting a Mac thumbnail file in the library, but no change.
I'm having problems tethering my Sony A7R4 camera with Lightroom Classic and would appreciate any advice you can offer. Basically, my camera is not being recognized when I try to tether it to Lightroom Classic. However, my camera tethers perfectly with Sony Imaging Edge Desktop Remote. I am using a brand new Tether Tools USB-C to USB-C tether. Dell XPS 15 computer running Windows 10 Pro. I have also tried using an Anker USB-C tether and different ports on my computer (again everything works perfectly with Sony Imaging Edge Desktop Remote). Is this a known problem? Are there any special settings, drivers, etc. on my camera, computer, or LrC software that I need to take into consideration? Really appreciate any advice you are able to provide! Right now, it just hangs up on this "Detecting Camera" pop-up in included screenshots.
I've tried all the google suggestions, but cannot get the menu headings 'FILE EDIT ..etc .' in Lightroom Classic. Need this to follow instructions in an Adobe video to fix another problem.
LRC: 13.5.1Windows 11Lightroom has been really slow for me, and I was sure that facial recognition was turned off, but today I was scanning some photos that had group pictures, and LRC is still recognizing faces when I’ve explicitly turned it off. Note that it was turned off before this screen capture and has been turned off as long as I can remember, but LRC is clearly still doing it. How can I stop this? I don’t want LRC to recognize faces. I don’t want it, don’t need it, and it’s taking computer resources and slowing down my work. Thanks NB: I am not upgrading to the newest version because it is incompatible with my Fuji GFX100 due to LRC’s native tethering causing issues. Thanks
Please advise: When I try to start LrC 2025 i receive the Error message "The Lightroom Catalog 'file name' is corrupt and cannot be used until it is repaired." LrC will not open when I double click to start. I also have a permanent banner on my screen stating "Lightroom - Opening Catalog: File Name.psd" This is on the Windows platform, Windows 11. I have tried re-booting, re-installing LrC, but nothing works. NOTE: I'm an experienced LrC user, and an inexperienced PS user. Before this happened, I tried to save a file from PS, then import it to LrC after deleting a previous version of the same file. Please help.
I’m having an issue with the Pixieset Lightroom Classic plugin and need help recovering my published photo associations.My normal workflow is to use separate Lightroom Classic catalogs for different clients. From each catalog, I go to Publish Services → Pixieset, create/select the appropriate Pixieset collection and Highlights set, drag photos from my Lightroom Library into the set, and publish them.Until recently, when I opened one of my Lightroom catalogs and accessed Pixieset under Publish Services, my existing Pixieset collections would appear with the photos already associated with their corresponding sets.Something changed yesterday. Now the collection names and Highlights sets still appear in Lightroom, but they show 0 photos. The actual photos and galleries are still completely intact and visible on my Pixieset account.The behavior is also catalog-dependent: when I open a catalog containing the photos originally associated with a particular collection, those photos can still ap
This behavior occured in the last week, after the latest upadate of Lightroom Classic. Other approaches yielded the same deletion of the selected image.

Completed Troubleshooting StepsTo save time, please note that the following extensive diagnostic steps have already been performed:Catalog & File ManagementStorage Environment: Migrated the primary catalog to a high-speed internal SSD to eliminate external drive bottlenecks.Lock File Maintenance: Manually located and deleted temporary .lock files when the application failed to initialize.Cache Clearing: Completely cleared legacy cache folders.Catalog Isolation: Tested launch
When I attempt to open more than one image in an outside editor (photoshop, evoto, etc), from the library module, select all images and then right click, and select edit in, the dialog box about selecting file type appears, however only the active image is copied as a TIFF and opened. I’ve tried deselecting all then reselecting, but no matter what there is an active image and that is the only one that opens.
Hi everyone,while Adobe seems wants to use all its energies to build a software to modify the reality with the AI (90% of the advertisements – email, websites, social networks only promote the AI’s features to eliminate people or objects, change the colours, etc.) I’m impressed by the partnership between the most important American news agency ‘Associated Press’ (AP) and the Danish company Capture One.What do you think about it?It’s not about the possibility to use or not use the AI, It’s about the direction that Adobe decided to give to the Photography pushing people to use the AI more and more massively. All the best,eliano
Tengo una colección en Lightroom Classic con muchas fotografías a las que, en su momento, apliqué los mismos ajustes.El problema es que no recuerdo qué preset utilicé originalmente. Al revisar el panel Historial de las fotografías, no aparece el nombre del preset, sino únicamente la acción “Pegar ajustes”, ya que aparentemente copié los ajustes desde otra fotografía y luego los pegué en las demás.¿Existe alguna forma de saber qué preset fue el origen de esos ajustes?Por ejemplo:¿Lightroom guarda en algún metadato o archivo el nombre del preset utilizado originalmente? ¿Es posible comparar los ajustes actuales de una fotografía con mis presets instalados para encontrar cuál coincide? ¿Hay alguna otra manera de rastrear el preset desde el catálogo o el archivo XMP?Tengo todos los presets que utilizaba en esa época; simplemente necesito identificar cuál de ellos corresponde a esos ajustes.Gracias.
Description of IssueOn Leica DNG files, Transform > Upright > Guided correctly applies the camera-embedded Perspective Control (LPC) guide lines the first time, as long as the photo has not been edited yet.

The darker areas are usually the areas that need denoising the most. It would be helpful to provide a slider for selecting and identifying this areas and be able to deniise just those areas. Suggestions for improvement if this is possible.
Lightroom Classic already displays the pixel dimensions of an image, for example 8256 × 5504. Please also automatically display the corresponding total megapixel count beside those dimensions.For example:8256 × 5504 — 45.4 MPMore importantly, the megapixel count should update automatically after an image is cropped so the photographer can immediately see how much resolution remains.This would be particularly useful for photographers evaluating cropped images for large-format printing. Currently, we have to calculate the remaining megapixels ourselves even though Lightroom already has all the information required to make this calculation.It is a small addition that would make evaluating image resolution and print potential much faster and easier.
Please add an option in Lightroom Classic's Crop tool to display the physical dimensions of the current crop in inches or centimeters, calculated at a user-selectable print resolution such as 300, 240, or 200 PPI.Ideally, while cropping, Lightroom could display information such as:7200 × 4800 px | 34.6 MP | 30 × 20 inches @ 240 PPIAs the photographer moves the crop boundaries, these values should update live.An optional inch/cm ruler around the crop area would also be extremely useful.This would allow photographers preparing images for fine-art and large-format printing to immediately understand the effect of a crop on the final printable dimensions without leaving the Crop tool or manually calculating pixels, megapixels, and print size.Lightroom already has the pixel information necessary to perform these calculations. Providing this information directly in the Crop tool would make cropping for print considerably faster and more intuitive.
Sinds de laatste update van Adobe LrC 16.5 worden de foto's enkel uit de catalogus verwijderd. Ik krijg wel het scherm efkens te zien waar ik de keuze kan maken, maar dit verdwijnt onmiddellijk en de foto verdwijnt in LRC catalog maar blijft wel op de schijf staanWaar kan ik een aanpassing doen om dat schermpje langer in beeld te hebben om een keuze te kunnen maken
