Lightroom Classic

Hello,I've been having trouble booting up LrC version 14.1.1. When opening from start menu, desktop shortcut, or CC, LrC does not open a window. When opening Task Manager, it shows LrC running and using resources, but there is no visible window open. I have tried ending the task in Task Manager, rebooting, and even uninstalling/reinstalling LrC through CC. I don't recall any specific changes made that would have caused this, as I tried opening my Catalog one day and it suddenly appeared with this issue. Any help in understanding what is going on would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Good morning Having imported many folders of images into Lightroom via 'add' (images and catalogue on external hard drive) I can't seem to import any more. They show up in the main pain but then disappear before my eyes almost as soon as they appear - I can even see the numbers at the bottom of the screen go up, and then back down again. I've searched the internet for an answer and even tried a suggestion by a contributor to this discussion board to try 'copy' then open  the 'Destination' box on the right and then revert to 'add', but nothing is showing. Any ideas? Thank you 🙂

Hallo, Beim Öffnen von LR classic vor ein paar Tagen sind die Bildeinstellungen meiner bearbeiteten DNG-Dateien verschwunden: es liegen wieder die out-of-cam Bilder mit neutralen Bearbeitungsreglern vor.  Woran kann das liegen, wie kann ich den Bearbeitungszustand von v.B. vor 2 Wochen wiederherstellen? Meine Systemumgebung: MacOS 15.2. LR classic 14.2. Camera Raw 17.2. Vielen Dank für Eure Hilfe, LG Micha   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

Hi, I accidentally deleted a folder of raw files and was wondering if there was any way I could retrieve these files from Lightroom Classic backup files. 

I have numerous info.lua files in my Pictures folders (all in subfolders with dates).  Can I delete these if there are no pictures in that particular datefolder?

After the 14.2 update the import dialog suddenly opens randomly even when there is no activity on the computer.Is this a setting that can be changed or a bug?

Im exporting a file to a USB sick, if I plug the usb stick in while the export dialogue is open the import window is trying to open and causes lightroom to become unresponsive. I realise that you can turn off the "show import dialogue when card inserted" in the prefs, and this will prevent the issue, but feel that it needs to be made  so that the import dialogue cant launch while you have the export dialogue open. I dont remember this happening in previous versions bar the last couple . Lightroom Classic version: 14.2 [ 202502071718-3869eef7 ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: enOperating system: Windows 11 - Business EditionVersion: 11.0.26100

Bonjour à tous, Mon problème est le suivant : je ne peux pas utiliser la réduction de bruit automatique sur Lightroom et je ne sais pas pourquoi. A l'emplacement concerné il est écrit "La réduction du bruit n'est actuellement pas compatible avec ce format de photo". Mes photos sont en format JPG; je me demande si le problème ne vient pas justement du fait qu'elles soient en JPG et non pas en RAW. Version de l'application : 7.2Ordinateur : Dell Inspiron 14Système : WindowsProcesseur : 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11390H @ 3.40GHz 2.92 GHzType de système : Système d’exploitation 64 bits, processeur x64 Si quelqu'un peut m'éclairer sur le sujet, je suis à votre écoute, merci d'avance !

Since downloading LrC 13.3.1 — to my Mac Studio M1 Ultra running Mac OS Sonoma 14.5 — when I go back to edit (or sometimes just click on an HEIC photo and view it) a photo that was added to my catalog when I was using an earlier version of LrC -- all of a sudden now, that image file gets the "Metadata has Conflict" tag and it tells me that "the metadata for this photo has be changed by both Lightroom and another application. And asks, "Should Lightroom import settings from the disk or overwrite disk settings with those from the catalog?"    This has me flummoxed since I am quite sure that since the file was added to my LrC catalog, it has not been changed by any application other than LrC (albeit an earlier version of LrC).    So, what is the correct response? Which option should I choose?   Overwrite Settings   Import Settings from Disk   or*Cancel*if this is a glitch or a bug that will be sorted with a future update, should I simply choose "Cancel"

Since yesterday, 2/13, my LRC Import function from a CF card is not working.  Before, I would be able to preview all the photos and select which one I want to import.  Now when I click Import, a black box appears in the middle of the screen saying "Allow Duplicates   1:1 Previews" and a few other things.  Completely different from before!  I have included a screenshot of what I see when I click the Import button. Can anyone help with this?  

When duplicating a brush mask, the copy shifted right and downward.It will not happen if duplicating the whole mask, it only happens when duplicating a brush mask inside a mask.

New update to LRC 14.2 on Windows 11 - writing metadata stalls or takes forever.Writing metadata to even one file (jpg, dng, heic) stalls with the "Saving Metadata" task bar at top left showing no movement. Updated graphics driver, still the same.

Ich habe ein bild von raw format ins jpg exportiert - im selben datei exportieren. Es wird aber nicht in lightroom angezeigt, nur an meiner festplatte. Wie kann ich es im Lightroom sichtbar machen?Vielen Dank

I recently acquired a new lens (AF-P DX NIKKOR 10-20 mm f/4.5-5.6G VR).  After importing several pictures shot with this lens, I am not seeing any metadata showing up.  Pictures taken with other lenses imported at the same time are showing as expected.  The EXIF data does show up when viewing images in my camera.

Como puedo consolidar varios catalogos en uno para usarlo como "maestro" en mi HDD donde guardo todas mi fotografias?

I may be alone in thinking this way, but I feel that Lightroom Classic could be trimmed down into a Lightroom Pro version. This would be only supporting Library and Develop modules. I only rarely bother with the Slideshow and Book modules, and the Slideshow ouptut is staggeringly low quality by today's standards. There are plenty of other ways to do both of these tasks. I've never used the Map, Print or Web modules. I feel like all this extra functionality is slowing the software down. I'm sure there are folks out there who use the other modules, and LRC can continue for those photographers. However, I shoot hundreds of events with thousands of photos per event and all I ever need is Import, Organize, Rate, Edit, and Export. Occasionally jumping into Photoshop for more difficult edits. I would prefer a simpler, more streamlined pro version for these tasks.

Hi, when I use "Previous" button in Develop module, I usually don't want to copy masks and crop settings. Could you consider add option to choose, which settings button copies? I saw in Google that first requests for this feature reach 2009 All the bestMarcin

hey guys, Im having a new issue I wasn't having before.In develop mode as soon as I click on a photo to edit, lightroom is automatically making my photos way brighter and over exposed.  Even when resetting settings and having my camera calibration set to my camera nothing is helping. It's doing it to new imports and previous ones and really causing issues with my editing! Hoping someone has a solution!Thanks

Issue still present in 14.2.(Note: started a new thread at the request of the Classic Team to file a new bug)

Starting masking or adding a mask in LRC 14 works as advertised with a mouse.  With a tablet pen (Wacom), the only way to start a mask or add another is to choose the mask, then click outside the LRC app and the mask shows up.  You have to continue this defocus-refocus maneuver when using a pen for each step of masking.  It began to appear in LRC 13 but is clear in LRC 14. Evaluated by Adobe tech support online after I initiatlly posted this (as a longer post) and has been identified as a definite bug affecting LRC v13 and current v14, referred to development for a fix. Also noticed now that many times when I modify the main image, the Loupe view on the monitor next to it does not reflect the changes...or even flashes black for a few moments.  This is a new phenomenon with the latest release, never seen it happen before.

Hello,   I have a moderately high end PC (Intel 265k, Z890 Tomahawk, 64GB RAM, RTX 3080) and Lightroom performance is literally the same as my old PC (8th gen Intel i7, 32GB RAM, GTX 1060). I have enabled GPU acceleration with all updated drivers and it hogs 100% of my VRAM instantly I start to scrub between images or zooming in. YouTube on the other monitor becomes choppy and blocky, and doesn't even play video at all.  I would get over it if the performance was somehow good. But it's not. When editing I find I have to quit and relaunch Lightroom multiple times, because masking and zooming in becomes USELESS. Then it works "fine" for 3mins and then back to lag-town.   It's actually working better and more stable with GPU acceleration turned off. But is still starts to lag like crazy.    I am editing photos from the Sony A7III which is a 7 year old camera at that point and my BRAND NEW PC can't handle it. I wonder what would happen if I would load 60+MP images.
