Lightroom Classic

Hello everyone. I currently have Lightroom 6.14 stand alone. I reached out to customer service to help me update this version since I am currently running the MAC OS Monterey 12.1. CS told me "I am sorry but we are unable to provide you the latest version of the application.You can install the latest version of the Adobe applications and will be able to use them for a 7 day trial" I felt being scammed 100%. Is it just me that felt it this way? Totally unacceptable. So, how did you guys able to update your Lightroom 6 to the latest version without buying it? Please let me know. Thank you.

(First and foremost, this is not about downloading. I already have a previously-downloaded copy of Lightroom 6 installer.) Lightroom 6 installer successfully unpacks itself and begins setup. However at the very start it produces the following screen  The link (and the QR code) leads to a web page, which wants me to sugn in using my Adobe ID. It asks me to enter my registered email and then states that a verification code has been sent to that email address. However, the code never arrives. I made several attempts, nothing was sent to my email address. So, what exactly is going on here? I understand that Lightroom 6 is out-of-support, but I don't care about support. What's more important is why there is still an active sign-in server, which pretends to send verification codes, when in reality nothing is being sent? And, even more importantly, how do I work around this. I would like to have Lightroom 6 installed on my machine. Thank you.

Hi all, Hope someone can help me with a, for me at least, strange issue with Lightroom Classic. Its been there a few versions, currently running the latest version: 14.1.1 I'm having some issues with copy develop settings from one photo to another. I've had these issues for a longer time but only just found out that its not happening with every folder and I can't find the difference between a folder that works and a folder that doesn't.  The issue:I'm trying to copy paste settings from photo A to photo B, both in the same folder. This works between photos in Folder A, but does not work with photo's in folder B.  I've just imported photo's from my camera, taken on seperate dates. Imported the first batch to folder A, no presets applied, only selected copy to DNG. I started editing those, was able to copy paste between photo's and finished everything as expteded.  I then imported batch 2 to folder B, the SD card hasn't been removed from my PC in th

Tenho alguns presets feitos com Ia porém quanto importo as imagens já incluindo as presets eles não atualizam e aparecem com um ponto de exclamação.  tenho que atualizar manualmente todas as imagens.  Alguem pode me ajudar a solucionar esta questão .

Hello, When I import my photos into Lr 4.1, they look normal & balanced, then turn very dark, one by one. I can visually see this on the filmstrip. I am not sure if this is a JPG preview I am seeing...They do not show up like this in my Pictures folder nor in CS Bridge.I shoot a Nikon D7000 in RAW always, shoot on Auto, Manual, Apeture, etc. I am running on a Windows Vista 32 bit, but import as TIFF files in 16 bit and work with 16 bit files. I usually set my camera to no saturation, or very little, no sharpening, etc., preferring to work with the RAW file only.Thank you in advance.

I had been having a two way sync problem from LRC on macOS synching to the Cloud, and then down to my iPad Pro and my iPhone 15.  The sync counter on LRC would halt on a certain number and not continue.  I had been working with support and had two major sessions on chat (2+hours), with two different support techs.  The sync would not continue after it hit 600 images.  After the two separate 2 hour sessions, the problem was solved.  Perhaps what I went through will provide a short cut for you.   Problem identified:  I had caused the problem by shutting down devices that had sync in progress.  In some cases it will warn you that the device is going through sync, but doesn't explicitly say that shutting down during sych can cause sync problems later. So the bottom line is to NEVER shut down a device that is syncing. Remember all syncing is done through the cloud -- not between individual devices.  Comments / Suggestions:Cool down befo

Lightroom v14.1.1 - book creation. Loading into Blurb (or pdf) is corrupted.  I started a photo book in Lightroom classic in November 2024. I resumed finalizing it at the end of January. When I re-opened my book, many photos were rotated 90° and the adjustments made in the Development module no longer appeared. I updated Lightroom v14.1.1 and made the fixes in the book. The display in Lightroom is now correct but whether in PDF or export in Blurb, the anomalies are still present. (see screenshots)   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

I suddenly started seeing foxes on my image files and thought my laptop may have a virus. Upon investigation, I discovered that these are JXL files meant for GIMP!!!   Lightroom automatically changed my export file format from JPEG to JXL!When I contacted Adobe Support, the agent told me that they have dealt with several such cases.   I use the latest versions of both Windows 11 and Lightroom.   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

I'm using PC with Win11 and Lightroom Classic 12.4.Most of my images are well looked after and just fine. I've got backups all over the place and all happy.There are a small number of family images in my catalogue which, over the years, have been bunged from one drive to another and not looked after quite as well. I've noticed that one or two of them are corrupt in various ways - either the RAW file shows an exclamation mark which, when clicked, says "Lightroom has encountered problems reading this photo. You will not be able to make adjustments to the photo." (These are mostly CR2 files). And a few others are corrupt in that you can see a bit of the file in Loupe view but a lot more of it is clearly damaged in the view.None of these images merits "recovery". I've run "find missing files" and there are none missing.I've not run "Validate DNG files" as they are not DNG files but are CR2 files.Is there any way to quickly identify "damaged" files so that I may simply delete them from

By now, I know I'm not the only one having issues with Lightroom Classic v.13. I have waited patiently to update the app, hoping that Adobe fixes it, but with the new 13.4, it's even worse. What used to take me 5 minutes is now taking me hours.   - Importing Images is incredibly slow - creating smart previews is impossible - syncing adjustments takes forever - forget to upload anything to the cloud; it will just never finish uploading.   I own a Mac studio with an M1 Ultra chip, and I had never had an issue with Lightroom before the update. In fact, I was having the best experience until this update.   Adobe, Fix this. Everyone else I know is moving over to capture one because of this, and If this isn't fixed soon, I will have to join them.   If this has anything to do with Adobe using AI, someone please tell me how to opt out of it.

I have used a merged catalog for several years. I have six external drives in my merged catalog. The drives are ordered chronologically. As a drive reaches its capacity, I add a new drive. I am having problems with the stability of LRC with the burden of this merged catalog. My question is can I unmerge these catalogs. Your opinion would be greatly appreciated.

When I filter images, e.g. through text, and I do HDR merging, after merging, the filtering turns off and I have to filter again each time. It's terribly irritating and slows down your work.   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

This morning when I started Lightroom Classic it came up with the message that the catalog could not be found. I shut vthe program down and restarted it hoping that it might fix it and it came up with the message using default catalog. The default catalog shows that no photos have been inported into Lightroom and all my collections are also gone.I have around 5-6000 photos in multiple directories so I do not want to have to import them all over again, nor do I want to then have to recreate all the collections again.Is there anyway I can find the proper catalog? Is the a copy of the original catalog kept anyway. The only catalog I can find on my computer is the default catalog.Thanks.

Hi wanted to download the fuji tether plugin for lightroom classic but the first two times i didn't worked correctly. The first it didn't show up at all in the creative cloud and the second version was missing functions. The third time it worked correctly but now i have paid three times for the same plugin. I called with the Adobe helpdesk about it but the can't help me with it and told me that i have to do it via this forum.Could someone from Adobe please help me with this. 

So I’ve recently updated to LR Classic 13.4 and it's unusable. The time it takes to move to the next photo in the develop module is between 3 and 5 seconds. When your editing all day, every day, its a non-starter, as a professional this kills my workflow.   I’ve been using Lightroom since the very first beta I've read some of the comments about the latest build and thought I’d give it a go. I’ve turned off writing to xmp as that’s a slow bug. I work local, no syncing to cloud. My System and Project drive are the fastest M2 SSD’s I can have in my systemThe GPU is supported and a fast card, I’ve turned off “use gpu for export” as its slower than having it turned on. When its off my cpu hits 100% and exports very fast.Each project I work on has its own Lightroom Cat, no the catalogues I work with are not huge, max 4000 raw files.Most background processers are killed when I edit, including all the adobe junk that runs in the background.   Drivers are up to date. I don’t see

my synch is locked up, constantly showing 74 images to synch.looking at the sych folder (a collection) it indicates an image is synching, then says synched, then switches back as soon as I scroll down in lightroom.I have updated all the metadata, but it continues.I have checked the SYNCH PREFERENCES and they list as 'Uploading' with METADATA under the SYNCH DETAILS/ERRORS.I have resaved all my images meatdata to file but the problem persists. I have removed some of the images that are listed from the collection and whilst the number of images to synch drop accordingly as you'd expect, it still is locks.I'm using latest version 14.1.1 on windows 10.

Hi everyone, I am feeling hopeless about an issue with Lightroom Classic. My computer did an update to the Windows 11 Version 24H2 on Thursday night. When I tried to launch my Classic app the next morning, it would not open. An error box stating "Error report for "Adobe Lightroom Classic" (I will attach a photo of it to this thread). When clicking further to diagnose the issue, it comes up with a box stating "No Issues Found", But still will not open the app. I have already contacted Adobe tech as well as Microsoft tech... both have spent hours looking into the issue and cannot figure out why the app will not open. All of my other Adobe apps open with no issues at all, it is just Lightroom Classic that will not open up. I am getting beyond frutrated that nothing has been found to fix this issue yet. I've never ran into this problem in the almost 10 years I've used this app. I hope someone can help me, please! 

I'm having an issue with my Lightroom Catalog (LrC version v14.1.1) not recognizing new folders created under the folder structure.  I am on a Mac Studio M1 Ultra (IOS Sequoia 15.2) all files are running on an NAS.   In this example, I created a new folder and syncronized the folderr so LrC would reflect the change.  LrC will not reflect the change / recognize the 'test' folder no matter how many times I synchronize it. Thoughts on what could be happening?Is there a way to have LrC update the folder and subfolder structure realtime without having to synchronize the folders every time a change is made to files or folder structures?  Thanks in advance.

how to solve this problem you see in printscreen? Lightroom is not doing more (already 6 months I can not do anything!) {Thread renamed}

I'm trying to decide whether to fully transition to the cloud-based Lightroom or stick with Lightroom Classic. I understand that Topaz Studio/Video/Photo AI currently only integrates as a plugin with Lightroom Classic, not the cloud-based Lightroom. I store all my photos on local hard drives and don't utilize cloud storage. My concern is future compatibility of the Lightroom editing tools themselves. If I invest time learning the Lightroom tools, will Adobe continue to support the full range of these tools within Lightroom Classic? Or is there a risk that future updates might prioritize the cloud-based version, potentially removing or limiting access to certain tools in the Classic version, making my Lightroom Classic skills less useful if I choose to stay with the classic, non-cloud workflow? Basically, I want to know if my Lightroom Classic workflow (using locally stored files and plugins like Topaz) is likely to remain viable long-term and have continued access to the full suit

Na de update van oktober 24 kon ik mijn foto's niet meer zien ook niet in mijn collecties en meerdere harde schijven.. De mapstructuur is er wel. Nu heb ik mijn foto's weer opnieuw geimporteerd. Mijn collecties en harde schijven zijn voor een groot gedeelte niet leesbaar maar wel met mapstructuur maar grijs blijvende foto's. Is dit een bug in de update of heb ik zelf iets verkeerds gedaan. Graag hulp ter lering en vermaak.Ik heb windows 11 en versie 14.1.1 

I am on a Windows 11 (Version 10.0.22631 Build 22631) Desktop PC (high spec: Processor AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12-Core Processor, 3701 Mhz, 12 Core(s), 24 Logical Processor(s)). The same catalog opens and works fine on my laptop with the same version of LR Classic and Windows 11 (I backed it up from there and used that version to open on the Desktop but same problem.  This all started yesterday after everything had previously been working fine since the last update in December. The cloud based LR works OK on my desktop PC. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling LR Classic but no difference. I have re-booted my PC multiple times. LR Classic just closes, rather than throwing up the option to send in a crash report. Although I was last working on a particular folder of images in Library, whenever I open Lightroom, it starts in a different folder and in the develop module. Any suggestions?

I have several grey frames in my Lightroom catalog and I cannot delte them.  The error message is as follows An internal error has occured:?:0: attempt to index field 'rootFile' (a nil value) I run a PC with the latest Windows software.  I have updated to the latest Lightroom version and have made changes to color management as seen in a previous post. Nothing seems to work.
