There are already features that create new images in LR, so why not add collage, and perhaps compositing. There are a whole bunch of ways in which such a UI could work, but ... here's something fairly easy to visualize in the case of collage. User has a panel from which to select collage layouts. Let's say for now they're all rectangular.User selects a layout, along with color/gradient/photo to use as background, etc., then selects photos to drop into it.With photos in the layout, drag to swap them, click and hit delete to remove, etcResize with scroll wheel, also the usual "fit/fill" etcMove borders by grabbing the border and draggingWiden/narrow borders by grabbing border edge and draggingDraw new slots with right click-drag rectangle, or whateverOverlapping slots should be fineDelete slots in one of the obvious ways, right-click context menu, click-select delete key, whateverBorder changes have optional snapping to make it easy to keep things aligned Ideally the colla
Would it be possible to combine multiple pictures into a single image? Like a grid. Or even free-range, placing them anywhere within the picture and downloading it as-is. AND,Is there a way we can download a landscape picture in a 1:1 ratio? Or even 1:1:1? Like by sections. So that when we upload to Instagram, it appears as a single continuous picture. If that makes sense. V/RNeto
Seit ein paar wenigen Tagen erstellt LrC keine Himmel-Masken mehr. LrC scheint diesen nicht mehr zu erkennen. Vorher lief das problemlos. Die anderen Masken scheinen zu funktionieren (Ausnahme: Landschaft. Auch dort erkennt er keinen Himmel). Habt /hattet ihr das selbe Problem?Konntet ihr das lösen und wenn ja, wie?
This error message appears when I try to open LRC. The version I have is 15.3.1. I have exited LRC on my other laptop. I’ve also tried to uninstall LRC but it isn’t doing so. Any suggestions, please?
When trying to open a recently created catalog in LR Classic 15.3.1 it crashes. This happens when opening one specific catalog under Tahoe 26.5.1. Other catalogs open just fine with no issues. This happens if I launch LR first then go to ‘Open Recent’ or if I double click on the catalog and try to open it through the finder. It is as if the catalog has been corrupted.
Lightroom clasic has great new features with AI masking, however I am still missing animal detection. I believe this would be very helphul for equine, dog, wildlife photography and even for basic home users. Current solution is use of AI feature subject detection, however it often fails as it does not predict well shape of an animal, this results as manual corrections needed on every mask when batch editing is used.
I have backed up my Lightroom Classic catalog about once a week since early 2020 using the popup when exiting Lightroom Classic. Ever since January 2023, I have been unable to backup my catalog as usual. Every time I have gone to backup the catalog since then, I receive the error message "(Lightroom was unable to back up the catalog named "Lightroom Catalog-v12") please check your folder permissions, and make sure that you have available space on your backup drive and main catalog's drive".

Exporting HDR images from Lightroom with HDR gain maps appears to embed a three channel gain map of equal size to the image. As someone who works with high resolution (60MP) images, the increase in file size from this is not manageable as it can nearly double the size of images that can themselves be 40MB+. ISO 21496-1 accommodates for this by allowing the gain map to be smaller than the actual image by an integer scale factor, and allowing for a single channel version that is effectively a luminance map. As an example, Apple uses a 1/4 size (scaled down by factor of 2 on each axis) single channel gain map for photos taken on iPhone. This minimizes the increase in file size. Putting aside image compression, you have 1/4 the number of pixels, and 1/3 the bits per pixel, so the parameters Apple uses may take up something like 1/12 the size of a 1:1 size three channel gain map. In a use case like mine, a scale factor of 2 would still be a 15MP gain map whic
I haven’t been using LrC recently (the last 6 months or so) during which I’ve seen several updates. Today I needed to process several hundred CR2 images (5760x3840) and find that performance has gone through the basement. Switching between images now takes anywhere between 2 and 15 seconds with no rhyme or reason for the long delays. Even skipping back one image, which is usually instantaneous, sometimes takes 5-6 seconds. Here’s my hardware:Ryzen 9 7940HS (8 core 16 thread) with Radeon 780M 64GB memory LR catalog, previews, and raw cache are on a local SSDI have tried all settings of GPU acceleration (off, on, auto, custom) with no discernible effect. I tried increasing the raw cache size to 50gb, but LR doesn’t seem to be using it. After scrolling through about 200 raw images, total cache usage is only 28MB, far below the actual size of the raw files (11GB)I’ve also optimized the catalog, purged the raw cache and regenerated standard previews. That last step helped somewhat bu

Verwende LR classic 15.1. Meine Bilddateien befinden sich im Netzwerk auf dem Synology NAS DS418 im Verzeichnis Bilder. Unter \\DS418\Bilder kann ich auch darauf zugreifen. Wenn ich neue Dateien importieren will, so finde ich dieses Verzeichnis in der rechten Spalte des Importieren-Fensters jedoch nicht. Und das obwohl andere Verzeichnisse auf dem NAS angezeigt werden.Ich bitte um Abhilfe.Mit freundlichen Grüßen,Joachim Müller-Klink
Introducing Assisted Culling (Early Access) in Lightroom Classic. For providing feedback for Lightroom Desktop, click here. TL;DR – Assisted Culling is getting faster, more powerful, and more accurate as we head to GA. If you tried in October 2025, we urge you to try the new version and give us feedback – especially for wedding & portrait photographers. We’re eager to hear your feedback! Assisted Culling has received several updates since Early Access launched in October 2025. If you tried it then, here's what's new: April 2026 Significantly improved handling of shallow depth-of-field for photos – a major customer ask. Images with intentional background blur are now more reliably recognized and kept rather than rejected as out-of-focus. We’ve retrained the “Reject model” so it has more accurate identification of reject-worthy images. Additionally, an image can now be flagged under multiple reject reasons simultaneously: Exposure Issues: includes a sensitivity slider so you
I have a Windows pc with LRC installed. What should my settings be in the export dialog in order to export 24MP photos at full resolution. At present, images exported are no longer shown at full resolution or size, after switching to a new pc? Also, images exported with JpegXL selected do not export correctly. The Microsoft Store has tried to sell me a download for the problem - does Adobe have a fix?
I've been experimenting with different cinematic editing styles recently and noticed trends seem to change every year.Some photographers prefer moody film-inspired looks, while others like cleaner cinematic color grading with natural skin tones.I've been testing several preset collections, including my own Cinemora presets, and I'm curious what styles Lightroom users are currently gravitating toward.Which cinematic editing style do you think is most popular in 2026?
Hi,I just moved LrC (v15.3.1) to a new PC (win 11). Moved images (NEF files) from card into a folder. In LrC clicked on Import, selected the folder. LrC shows message “No files found”.I can’t figure why. Am I missing something? Something happened to the LrC during the install?Thank you very much.AK
Something I found recently that may help https://colorsuite.app
For around (I think a month or so) I’ve had issues with masks and some of the pre-sets in Develop module.For example if I go to ‘Enhance portrait’ on many photos where there is a clear person it will fail and pop up a window with title - Preset: Enhanced Portrait Error.An unexpected error occurred while processing. (1){filename here} That’s all it says.Or other times I’ll ask it to pick a subject or I’ll try to create an object and after selecting object or subject then nothing. Nothing is selected. I’ve also seen it where I’ve applied a setting across many files, then it will ask to re-apply the AI settings (this is in masking again) even though nothing has changed.

Lightroom Classic 15.1 — exporting from Smart Previews despite originals being linked. No ! badge on thumbnails, Show in Finder finds the CR3 files correctly, folders appear linked, but all exports come out at ~2000px (Smart Preview size) instead of 6000px. Catalog has ~10,000 missing photos from previous folder moves. Tried: Update Folder Location, Discard Smart Previews, Optimize Catalog. Nothing works."
In 15.3 they worked fine.In 15.3.1 pressing the button makes Lightroom think for a second but no mask is added.Downgrading back to 15.3 solved the issue again.
My Adobe corporate account is no longer active as of 6/5/2026 and I forgot to transfer/download my LR photos to my personal account. I can't access the adobe account. Any other ways to access my former LR library? The articles I'm finding show how to initiate a download but you’d need to access the original account.thanks!Terry
j’ai sans cesse un problème de mise à jour IA pour les masques. Lightroom me dit que les paramètres doivent être mis à jour afin d’assurer un rendu de qualité. je fais “tout mettre à jour” mais cela ne fonctionne pas. le masque d’objet apparaît avec un triangle danger J’ai tenté ces deux solutions sans succès :Problème de calcul IA bloqué :Va dans Bibliothèque Menu Photo → Paramètres → Mettre à jour les paramètres IA Attends sans toucher (ça peut être long et silencieux)Cache Camera Raw corrompuTrès fréquent avec les fonctions IA.Va dans :Édition → Préférences → Performances Clique sur Purger le cache Camera RawPuis :redémarre Lightroom relance “mettre à jour les paramètres IA”J’ai éteint et rallumé plusieurs fois.J’ai aussi fait la méthode indiquée dans le fil de discussion par Johnrellis et ça n’a pas fonctionné:1. Utilisez la commande du menu Aide > Infos système. Si vous n’êtes pas sur la dernière version (actuellement 14.4), faites Aide > Mises à jour.2. Publiez ici le cont
This was meant to be a bug report not question but oh well. Lightroom stalls when the bar get to ~5%.
How do I do this?WHen I try to import, with my iPhone plugged into my Mac, the Destination does not show up in the Import Module in LRC 15.3.1. If I try to save or import from iCloud, all the photos show up as HEIC files, and are greyed out. I have several hundred photos on the iPhone 17 that I’d like to import into LR. I’ve done some work on them using SnapSeed, but I prefer Lightroom.
Since I updated to MacOS 14.6, printing from Lr Classic to my Epson SCP800 has beeen a nightmare. The printer driver seems to have become completely unreliable. 1. When I select a profile in Lr, the printer driver has color matching set to Epson Color Controls, and not (as it should) to Color Sync. Sometimes the driver opens with Color Sync correctly set, but then changing any other setting (eg, paper type) causes it to revert to Epson Color Controls. 2. When I make changes to the print settings (eg, changing paper type) and save a preset, the change is not present in the preset. This problem does NOT seem to occur when using the print driver from Apple Preview. I have -- reinstalled the Epson drivers -- deleted and readded my printer -- deleted my Lr preferences (but I'm confused about this because moving the com.adobe.LightroomClassicCC7.plist file out of ~/Library/Preferences doesn't seem to change anything in my Lr setup, even if I restart my machine
It would be very useful if the smart collections could work recursively. What I mean is that the filters on the upper lever would work on all collections under that collection and the lower level collections could have additional filterse.g.| Landscape| |- 5 stars| |- marked redPortraits| |-John| | |-5 stars| | |-B&W| |-Mary|-5 stars|-B&Wand so forth. This would make lot of organizing much more straight forward.
