Lightroom Classic

When you move a folder in Lightroom, the interface resets and scrolls back to the top. This can be particularly frustrating when dealing with a long list of files, such as archiving folders on a server. Secondary Display panel will randomly close by itself when switching between modules of Develop and Library. This is quite consistend. Right Click > Edit in PS only works sometimes with large TIFFs. Usually It’ll say “Syncing Metadata” then do nothing. One has to do this a few times.  A huge bug... When saving a TIFF in another program like PS, the TIFF's preview will update correctly in Library mode, but switch to Develop mode and it’ll display the old TIFF. No way to fix this until you close and reopne LRc With Publish Services, when you publish a virtual copy of a photo (and also remove the original photo from the collection), it uploads first and then gets deleted immediately. This means no photo actually gets published. If the delete process happens before the upload proce

I'm using LR Classic 4.0.1. it was fine for a while and now randomly it is terrible at importing. When i plug in my SD card it counts every photo like 1, 2, 3 all the way to like 2348 photos (for example). I don't know why it's doing this? Normally it doesn't count it, it automatically knows how many photos I have on my SD card and I can click import within a few seconds. Now it takes ages as I'm just waiting for Lightroom to count from 0-2348 until I can click the import button. I've tried optimizing my catalog and that doesn't help

Lightroom Classic version: 13.5.1 [ 202408271704-d15d09cd ]Operating system: Windows 11 - Business EditionVersion: 11.0.22631 Repro Steps1. Open Lightroom in Library Module2. Click on any image thumbnail3. After a few seconds, image loses all Develop edits and Metatdata status says: "Metadata has been changed"; This is happening on ALL  images. Executing a "Read metadat from file" action recovers the data but this is crazy-making.  This issue only started recently on the prior version of Lightroom AND persists on the most recent version; to the best of my knowlege I have made no Lightroom or other configuration changes recently.

I can't stop all my images reverting to black and white when I open them in developer mode LRC, they were shot and imported in colour,

I recently switchced from Windows to a Macbook Pro.  My catalog is fine but my collections are grayed out. I can import new photos but can't access photos in existing collections. Any help would be appreciated.

When you share a picture by making a collection "Public", viewers have an opportunity to add comments to that collection when they view it on the web.  That comment can then be viewed below the metadata panel back in Lightroom Classic.  My question is how can you select and isolate only those pictures that have comments.  I'd prefer to do this with a "Smart Collection" or using a tool such as "Any Filter".  I can't seem to find those comments in a smart collection. I have an example of the comment in the two screen shots I attached.  One shows the comment in the web collection.  The other screen shot shows it in Lightroom Classic.

I do studio photography.  I connect my camera (Canon 70D)  to my Windows-based laptop using the tethered-capture setting in Lightroom Classic so the model can see the photo in Lightroom Classic on a larger screen than the back of my camera.I recently bought a new laptop, an ASUS Q533M Notebook. My setup worked fine with my previous laptop (an HP laptop), but with my new ASUS laptop, the system goes to sleep after almost every photo I take and I have to re-log in.  I take photos quickly enough that the system should stay active and not go to sleep.  Having to log in before every photo is very problematic.I don't know if it's an issue with ASUS, Lightroom Classic, Canon, or what.Has anyone else had this issue?

Hi, I have an issue with HDR monitor. When I disable the GPU for display everything is displayed correctly but when I turn it on the image is washed out in highlights. I've attached two sreenshots presenting this issue. The monitor is philips 27m1n5500za, and GPU is AMD RX7800XT with newest drivers. Also note - I have to use HDR on my display for correct colors, in SDR everyting is super saturated and it's impossible to fix (I'm comparing this images to images on my OLED laptop and phone to be sure colors adre correct and olny HDR is giving my those colors). This issue is present inf Lr and LrC I'm not sure if it's fixable, I probably can only use CPU for editing but I'm worried it's gonna be slow. Correction for second screenshot: the image isn't brighter on my screen, just highlights are "squashed". The background is still medium gray.  

I sometimes use tethered capture, but not that often. To my unpleasant surprise, it hasn't worked for some time, even though I followed all the steps to fix the problem. I even did a new installation of LrC (w. uninstall and clearing registers), assigned absolute rights to the folder where the photos were supposed to be saved, and LrC still gives an error message about the impossibility of saving to any selected location. I have Windows 10 with all updates and the latest version of LrC 14.1.1. Please don't ask me to do a clean install of Windows and then go through version by version and find out where it stops working, because you get paid for that. Smart Shooter 5 in the latest version (trial 5.8) works absolutely flawlessly! :((

The people masking tool has started creating rectangular masks when I select people. Any solution on how I can get the mask to be applied properly? The problem started some weeks ago. Below is an example showing the mask generated. Below is an example where I have increased the exposure for the generated mask. I am using Lightroom Classic 14.1.1 and Camera Raw 17.1. I get the same issue in Photoshop when using Camera Raw. I use a Microsoft Surface Pro 10 for Business with 64 GB RAM.     [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

I have created a large lightroom catalog with all my individual photos from projects over many years. After importing my photos into the lightroom catalog I then create one or more collections to sort the photos im more logical subcollections. I then start editing from there. If a photo is rejected I delete it from the collection resulting in a usable set of photo's once I'm done. This works fine for me but now I realised I have a lot of clutter on my hardisk from rejected photo's that will neveer be seen or used again. I would like to clean up these rejected pictures from my harddisk so I am looking to find a way to delete all pictures in my lightroom catalog from disk if they are not used in a collection. Any input would be highly appreciated. Thanks a lot

I am new to Lightroom Classic, but I've had the cloud version for a while. When I make edits on Lightroom Classic, the edits are synced to my cloud Lightroom. However, when I go into my desktop folders where those images are stored locally, they are in the original format. I was under the impression that lightroom classic would sync everything. Am I missing something? Do I need to re-download/export them to my desktop now that I have edited them?Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Hello,I'm having a major problem with Lightroom Classic v14.1.1. that I've never had before. I'm a professional photographer and I use Lightroom as my main photo management and editing tool. The thing is that yesterday I tried to export a set of images and to my surprise the export window didn't appear. I thought it was a one-off error, so I restarted Lightroom. Everything remained the same, the export window didn't appear. I restarted the computer and tried again: everything was the same. I reset Lightroom preferences and nothing at all. I uninstalled Lightroom, tried previous versions and everything is the same. For some reason the export window has stopped appearing and I can't export anything at all. Sometimes, maybe after half an hour, the screen appears with a delay, when I've forgotten about it. But usually it never appears. It's strange, because it's not an error generated by updating, but it was sudden. I've been using this latest version for a few days and nothing has happene

Try to add Facebook account my Connected accounts in Content Credentials.In Connected accounts manager page (tried both Lightroom and PS) there is no Facebook available and no option to add your own account.For test tried Instagram but I cancelled it because IG wants change my account to proffesional or something.Searched and found this from photoshop help page (https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/connect-accounts.html)Add other social accountsLog into any other social media accounts to add them.Adobe won’t keep any access to your accounts when you’re done.Does that mean that I have to log into my adobe account by Facebook or what does it mean?Logging in with any other accounts is not an option to me. Never and nowhere!

I still use LrC quite a bit, but I don't participate in the forums much anymore. Found that I was giving too many incorrect replies. However, I have a question about the histogram. I've noticed that lately all of my images  have a significant white overlay over them that I haven't noticed previously. Is this new, or is there an anomaly in my installation? Just curious.

I do not see albums as an option in the left panel and do not see it as an option under Panels in the Window tab.  Not sure what to do.Thanks, 

I un-installed LRC but now I can not get it to install. The web interface just shows "waiting"What can I do ? 

My Histogram in LRc is showing only the RGB colors, how can I get also the CMY colors displayed in my histogram, The CMY colors as you know results from the overlap of colors from RGB. How can I get RGB and CMY displayed in my histogram? Thank you in advance

Hey All, I am still using my Macbook Pro (2014) MacOS Big Sur 11.7.1 and I can not upgrade my OS to Monterey in order to run Lightroom Classic. Is there a way I can use an older version of lightroom? I can't seem to find one, I just says i have to upgrade which puts me dead in the water.... Please help.

Bonjour, depuis quelques temps je n'arrive plus à redimensionner la fenêtre principale de l'application sur Mac OS.J'ai cherché partout, et bien sur ce n'est pas le mode plein écran. Quand je passe de l'un à l'autre il ne se passe pas grand chose, c'est toujours plein écran.J'aimerai comme avant pouvoir dimensionner la fenêtre de LR plus petite pour voir mon bureau.En fait là je n'ai plus accès au bureau du mac, sauf par le dock. C'est vraiment galère.Une idée ? Merci  

Cuando intento creo una máscara y utilizo el ratón funciona correctamente, pero cuando utilizo la tableta gráfica (Wacom Intuos) tarda entre 15 y 30" en reaccionar.Trabajo con Windows 11 y Lightrom Classic 14.1.1.He comprado otra tableta gráfica (Huion), he reinstalado completamente el sistema operativo y aun así el problema persiste. YA NO SE QUE MÁS PUEDO HACER.¿Algún consejo o sugerencia?Adjunto características del PCGracias.

I have run lightroom on my windows 10 for many years without a problem. Suddenly it takes ages before opening and when I try to open a catalog, it subsequently freezes and it indicates that Lightroom does not  answer. I have tried unistalling and reinstalling but to no avail. Also I tried to reset the preferences to the default settings but the app. does not respond. Finally, I tried to create a new catalog by holding the Ctrl-Key while starting the app. The app indicates that it will prepare a backup, starts the backup and the it freezes again: the app does not answer. Thank you for your help. 

Logn story short. Converted my ARWs (Sony RAW) to DNGs. Lost the library, have a backup but it points out to the original ARW files. I can locate the files manualy but Lightroom tells me it's not the correct name (1234.DNG instead of  the 1234.ARW it is looking up) so, it only pics that picture instead of the whole bunch on that same folder. Is there a way to edit the library to make it look for DNGs instead of ARWs?

Hello,my primary lightroom Catalog keeps eating up Memory when importing photos (even just less then ten from a SD card, no video included) or synchronizing a folder. It also sometimes ends up saying in the catalog window on the top left corner: Current Import 3 photos or even 40 but fails to show them. Most the times it just stays on zero though and waits to be force quit or crashes. The catalog is regularly backed-up and optimized and I use a Macbook pro 16 inch M3 with 18gb of memory and 1tb of internal stoage.
