Lightroom Classic

Boy, do I need help! I'm 87 years old. I'm loosing my ability to use Adobe products, but want desperately to complete uploading my You Tube channel and need to use Adobe. I live in Kalamazoo, MI. Will some one out there help me over this hump? 

Hi Adobe Support,Since updating to Lightroom Classic 15.4.1, a large number of my Develop presets have disappeared from the Presets panel.My systemLightroom Classic: 15.4.1 Camera Raw: 18.4 macOS: 26.5.2 iMac 2020 Same Lightroom catalog I've been using all year (2026.lrcat).The issueAfter updating Lightroom, I was away for a week. When I returned, many of my presets were missing. The preset files (.xmp) are still present in the correct Settings folder. If I try to import a missing preset, Lightroom reports "Already Imported", but the preset still does not appear in the Presets panel. Some presets from the same collection are visible, while many others are not.Troubleshooting already completedConfirmed I am opening the correct catalog. Created a brand new test catalog – the exact same presets are still missing. Verified the preset files exist in: Catalog Lightroom Settings folder. CameraRaw Settings folder. "Store presets with this catalog" has been tested. Checked Manage Presets – th

I recently updated Lightroom Classic and Photoshop 2026 (27.8) I have Windows 11, My lightroom edit in choice to PS will open photoshop, it informs me to PS2026 not installed, once it connects, then keeps asking me if I want the program to change setting, Then the actual image to edit does not transfer across to PS, I have deleted both apps and re-installed, same issue.

Lightroom Classic on Win 11, 32GB RAM and a hobby photographer.I see on my Catalogue I have been using LR since 2008. I mainly (±80%) shoot wildlife. Ever since then I have shot in RAW with my Canon cameras which saved photos as CR2. I've always imported them: Copy as DNG. I must have done a tutorial those days telling me to do it like this.I now also have a Nikons Coolpix P950 and shoot in RAW as well.What is the best/recommended way to import RAW photos so I can make fulle use of all AI and other presets? I only use LR Classic for photo editing.Thanks.

Hi all. I’m on a M3 MacBook Air running macOS 26.3 and using  LR classic v15.2 with Camera Raw up to date at 18.2.1.My problem is that on one of my external SSDs, a 2TB Samsung T7, LR will not show the photos. In grid mode it will show empty thumbnails with meta data, like star rating, but no previews. In develop it will show only the background color.I tried building previews, both standard and 1:1, via the menu for individual files, for a group of files and for all files. The progress bar appears but does not move at all and no previews of any kind are created. I tried creating a new catalog and copying the files to another T7 SSD and creating a catalog on that, but that did not work either. The drives are all exFAT formatted. The catalog lives on the drive.I’m confused especially because for other photos, I use the same setup and it works well.The photos and folders were originally created on an HDD drive on windows and then also on windows 10 copied to the SSD and used on the SSD o

I have tried everything to delete Select A Source dropdown when importing an image(s):  a question in a browser or a video.  Nothing because they do not address bulk deleting.Recent Files: (Desktop)  You will see a box. Scroll all the way to the bottom.  There is a prompt: Clear Recent Paths.  Click.  They’re gone!

I am backing up my lightroom catalog and it's been 15 hours so far. Is that normal for a catalog with 170,000+ images on lightroom? Should I restart my computer or will that corrupt the catalog?

Further I initially had around 160,000 photos; now I have 390,000 photos.How did this happen and how can it be repaired?? 

I have just updated to Lightroom 15.4.1, since up dating when I open the masking option I go to people and I get a message no people found, even though the image is a portrait. This now occurs on every portrait I use the masking option.

I’m editing a folder that has 240 photos. They are slides from about 40 years ago that I digitized by taking photos of using Valoi easy35. I hadn’t realized how much dust was on them so I’ve been using the Remove tool with Use generative AI and Detect Objects selected. Because it takes a long time to run, some photos taking an hour or so, I’ve been working on it over a couple of weeks or so. Several times I’ve exited Lightroom and backed up the catalog. After I finally got through the slides I went back to the start to see if I’ve missed any. There are a number of ones that I specifically remember fixing certain blemishes, but were there when I went back a second time. 

al abrir Lrc me dice que IA tiene problemas y no me deja ver las carpetas que nesecito para editar 

LrC v15.4.1 Windows-11:   I am trying the Auto-Stack ‘by Visual similarity’ on a folder of images with many images I consider similar. Why am I getting the message- “Current slider settings doesn’t allow Auto-stacking”? and the [Stack] button is greyed out. Although the previews suggest that stacks will be created. This message appears for any position of the slider- except for the far right end when [Stack] appears but result is “0 stacks,...”Something I am missing? 

Hi,  Can´t acces a download link for v12.x for LrC anywhere, I run Big Sur so I need that version.  Has it been cancelled? Best, Martin

I have a large keyword hierarchy with several layers of parent levels and subcategory levels.  After catalog upgrade my keyword structure is in disarray, with keywords scattered into various levels parent to their correct placement in the heirarchy.  They aren’t merely duplicated outside their proper place; some keywords have been removed and are missing from their proper place in the hierarchy.  I understand that keywords can appear to be “misplaced” if files are imported from an old folder that was improperly moved outside of Lightroom control.  This seems different.  I may have done something wrong, but I don’t know what it was.

If you edit a keyword in Lightroom Classic (like adding synonyms or changing the keyword's export settings), all photos with said keyword are synced - even photos where keyword sync hasn't been activated.Lightroom version: 15.4.1Steps to reproduce:Open a catalog that is synced to Lightroom cloud. Activate keyword sync in LrC settings. Activate keyword sync on a selection of photos in the catalog (but not all). Choose a photo which doesn’t have keyword sync activated. Make sure that it has one or more LrC keywords. Find the chosen photo on Lr Mobile / Cloud and add a few random keywords to it. In LrC, edit one of the keywords of the chosen photo by adding a synonym to it.Expected result:Lightroom should sync any photos which have the edited keyword and keyword sync activated.Actual result: Lightroom syncs ALL photos with the keyword, regardless of whether they have keyword sync activated or not. (This sync will have the effect of the random keywords added in step 5 to be synced back to

Hallo,   trotz aktueller Version 14.2 funktioniert bei mir in LightroomClassic seit mehreren Tagen das Kartenmodul nicht. Ich bitte um Hilfe bzw. Aufklärung!

When using the denoise or enhance features, it would be great if the filters selected in the Develop module would continue to stay selected. Currently, if I have a set of filters - like hiding rejected images, or specific color tags - and then decide to enahnce or denoise an image, whenever Lightroom finishes processing, it resets all of my filters back to showing everything.   If I've already rejected an image - or 100 - I clearly don't want to see them, and don't want to have to keep clicking the desired filter after every single enhancing/denoising process, just to get rid of the clutter. Sometimes, I can batch enhance or denoise, but other times I need to do it one at a time , and repeating this process for 100-200 images, for example, wastes a lot of time and is incredibly annoying. 

I cannot use Lightroom Classic. Every catalog I try opens in the background. All apps and graphics driver are up-to-date. I'm operating Windows 11 on a Sky Tech gaming machine. I have spent many hours online with several different Adobe techs have been unable to solve the problem. One seems to think that the catalog is corrupt, but I have tried multiple catalogs--backups and new.

Hello, I am having major technical issues with the Lightroom app. It constantly crashes and does not work at all. Since the app is unusable, I would like to request a full refund for my recent charge. Please help me process this refund. Thank you.
