Lightroom Classic

On my Windows 11 and new Lightroom Classic V15, with the help of ChatGPT, I found a bug. When importing a raw file that already has xmp and acr sidecars, the edits in those sidecars do not appear in the Library module previews. However, they do appear in the Develop module. But, by using the Library/Previews option in the Library module to set 1:1 or standard sized previews, the previews are updated and properly display the xmp/acr sidecar edits. ChatGPT led to this tip after 3 rounds, and declares it a definite bug.

When using dark mode on macOS, export settings field text doesn't display (see attached screenshots).Switching to light mode immediately recifies the issue. Obviously it's easy enough to get around, but still annoying to have to switch OS themes every time! M1 MacmacOS 12.4Lightroom Classic 11.5

Nach dem letzten LR Classic Update habe ich jetzt wiederholt das riesige Problem, dass Lightroom die zuletzt genutzte Datei inkl. RAW, JPG und LR Ordner komplett von der Festplatte löscht bzw. nicht mehr vorhanden oder aufrufbar ist.   Die Dateien auf der externen Festplatte scheinen komplett verschwunden zu sein. Bitte um schnellstmöglichen Support, da ich meine Arbeit komplett einstellen muss, nach dem letzten LRC Update. Zudem ist LRC sehr langsam geworden nach dem letzten Update. Meine Kunden warten auf ihre Bilder, welche komplett verschwunden sind. Wo sind die eben noch bearbeiten Dateien geblieben?

Whenever Lightroom Classic is open, let alone editing, it slows my whole computer to a crawl. Delaying typing in web browser and super-jittery movement of windows.Now, in Lightroom, everything is slow menu-wise when importing, changing preferences, whatever. But, as soon as I add more than one mask, the whole program stalls and barely functions. Now, from my understanding, this shouldn't be happening with the specs that I currently have. LRC version 14.4Windows 11 ProIntel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700KF CPU @ 3.80GHz 32.0 GB RAMNvidia RTX 3060 12gb1 TB SSD with over 100 GB free None of these resources are going above 75%, with most settling around 50% in task manager. What could be causing this app to make my computer so slow?

LrC is pretty good at removing people...but not so good at identifying ALL of the people.  How do you select the ones it missed?  Just manully remove with the AI tool?

Hi All I hope someone can help me. I have been using Lightroom Classic for a few months now and have come across an issue today that I haven't experienced before. I edit an image then export (as usual), when I open the exported image there is added Grain/lines/spots added to the sky on this particular image. These are not present within lightroom.(The sky in the image looks like it's been printed when low on ink) I have exported to every single file format and I have tried each colour space without success. I have attached a screenshot of both inside Lightroom and the exported image.This is a 35mm film photo so it is naturally grainy anyway, but this is more than just grain. Thank you in advance! Regards Craig

Hello,   I recently had a call with Adobe support with no luck. I have found some threads on this but nothing presents a solution and it seems hard to find what the actual issue is.   If I edit a client gallery and use any healing brush tool or AI masking tool, the mask or healing brush/generative AI will get a red dot underneath after going back to the start of the gallery, my AI edits are gone....   I also noticed this happens 100% of the time when I quite and reopen lightroom, I can fix the mask, update ai settings but it just resets each time I open lightroom.   We tested a new catalogue, we tested a bunch of things with no luck.    We really need a fix on this Adobe it is killing workflow, not sure what broke this setting. I can't revert to an old version because I have lots of photos (I do 1 catalogue per year) and can't go back weeks of client work.   Also this catalogue was started at the begining of 2025 so there is no version 13 of this cata

When I try to back up my catalog, I get the message as shown below: 

Hi guys, I'm a real estate photographer and I'm having a really annoying problem that I dont know how to solve. I work with bracketing, natural light, and no flash and I have a Canon R50, I normally take photos with 3 stops (-3, 0, +3) to merge into lightroom and generate HDR image, perhaps I dont thing that Lightroom is working well with my photos when merged. Here are my 3 bracketing photos: And above is the result of the hdr merge (I always uncheck the auto adjustments option): I don't think that is correct at all, because when i see people doing this in tutorials, the result of the merging is almost perfect and the photo just need minimal adjustments, but in my case, the photo is extremely dark, with no window information and i'm having so much work to make this photos look good. And this happens always, doesn't matter the weather, the light in the houses, the light outside the windows, the merging looks always awful. Am I doing something wrong? Just f

The new update hangs, just showing the hints. I neither want, nor care about the hints, so why are they part of the update???Furthermore, as the only option is to close with the Task manager, I'm stuck. Also, despite paying Adobe £700 per year, every year, we are unable to express any annoyance whatsoever, and our posts are deleted. I expect help, not self-importance and over zealous reactions.

So I have the following code with catalog:findPhotoByUUid() always returning nil. I have the code in a task and I've treble checked  iid to be a correct uuid from photo.localIdentifier. It always returns nil and I can't for the life of me see why. Any thoughts appreciated. ```local iid = 7195703local ppp = catalog:findPhotoByUuid( tostring(iid) ) -- ppp always nil ```

When I hover with mouse above a Slider, and use the Keyboard up/down arrows to adjust its value, and once happy with the value press Cmd+C, confirm the fields to be copied by pressing Ok, move to the next image and press Cmd+V, all Settings of the previous image are copied, except the last made change with the Keyboard.  The isse is identical if I use a plugin to change the value. Like the Elgato Streamdeck Plugin by SideshowFX, that makes a call to the SDK function LrDevelopController.increment(key) or LrDevelopController.setValue(key, value) to change the value. The behaviour is exactly the same. The last value is not copied, but the value done one step earlier is. For instance, if I adjust Temperature, and then Brightness, followed by a Copy+Paste action, the Brightness value change will be ignored, but the Temperature change will be copied.  If I however use the mouse to make the Change by using the Slider, Copy and Paste works as expected.&n

Hi!In LightRoom Development, does erasing the history and resetting the settings remove the denoising previously done?Merci

When I create a mask and pick "object," then identify the object using either the brush or rectangle, I get random blotches that have nothing to do with anything in the photo. Subject masking works fine. I've tried a lot of things already: updating LR to 15.0, reinstalling it, deleting the cache file, creating a new catalog and experimenting with a photo in that, resetting preferences, etc.  ChatGPT says I'm supposed to get a message that it's downloading AI files and I haven't seen that. Nor do I see the files in the Cache folder that it says should be there. 

Hello, I want to edit a photo from Lightroom Classic in Photoshop 2025, but I get an error message: Catch in IPhotoshopApplication, exception encountered: Invalid Offline Resources path. What is the solution for this? Lately I used CCleaner 7 to remove duplicate files, and I suspect that this may have caused the issue. When I tried to restore the removed files I got the message I'm not allowed to restore the files?

Hello,I’m experiencing a serious issue with missing GPS data in my main Lightroom Classic catalog.I have around 40,000 travel photos in my primary catalog, and I always try to fill in GPS coordinates for each image. At some point, I noticed that many photos had lost their GPS metadata. Unfortunately, I can’t determine exactly when this happened.My catalog contains various file types:DNG and HEIC files from iPhone, from which I usually copy coordinates to RAW files.DNG files from DJI drones, which originally contain GPS data.I discovered that:In some photos, the GPS data was completely erased from the files.In others, the GPS data still exists in the files, but Lightroom no longer displays it.When I use the “Read Metadata from File” command, the GPS data reappears — however, all tags and editing adjustments are lost as a result.Recently, I worked in a separate catalog where I filled in GPS data for a folder of images. Then I imported that catalog into my main one and continued editing a

Hello. I select a group of photos I've scanned - go to: Metadata / Edit capture time - I change the date ('Adjust to a specific date and time' is chosen under 'Type of adjustment') click change, but only some change to that new date. I think the ones that aren't changing are from a previous scan. I'm sure I haven't had this problem before.
