Lightroom Classic

I just found out that lightroom has created thousands and thousands of duplicate photos of some of my collections.  I've used Lrc for many years and do not believe it is user error.  It did this once before and I had to start my collection over.  I've spent all year and I'm only halfway through recreating my catalog of travel photos from backups.My actual photo files are organized by year/month.  2024/July originally had about 300 photos when I imported it in August.  Now the folder has 2,110 photos - some of them duplicated up to 6 times.  They are not virtual copies.  Theres no telling how many other duplicate photos it's made in other folders.  On the last catalog it created 11,000 duplicate raws that I could easily find and unknown amount of others. I can use AllDup to go through the files to find the duplicates and delete them from my drive, leaving the largest file of each grouping of duplicates.  Thats fairly easy.  Some are

Windows 11 and LRc.  I thought I used to be able to move sliders using the wheel on my mouse. Now I cannot. Am I doing something wrong?  Also in Camera Raw? Thanks

I have an issue with exporting on the Mac. The problem is twofold:1. a maximum of 2 images get exported.2. every export process (whether up to 2 or more images) never comes to an end (you can see in the top left).Here is a screenshot to illustrate: I have started 4 exports:1. 1 image - this has been exported2. 2 images - these have been exported3. 3 images - only the first 2 have been exported4. the missing third image from 3 - this has been exportedAs you can see at the top left, none of the exports are completed correctly. All processes are still in progress (for several hours).Does anyone have an idea what is going wrong here? I get scared when I think of exports with several dozens or maybe hundreds of pictures...Since I am a Mac newbie and this is my first Mac after more than 3 decades of Windows PCs,  I am not sure if the problem is located in front of the screen. 🤷‍ BR, Thomas

Witam.W moim LRC 14.0.1 mam problem z importem usatwień wstępnych.Imoprtuje wszystkie na raz jednak w aplikacji widoczna jest tylko część ustawień wstępnych.Proszę o pomoc!

For many years I have been slavishly converting my raw files to DNG in the (apparently mistaken) belief that this would ensure continued compatibility with Photoshop and Lightroom. Going back a few years I have discovered hundreds—possibly thousands—of dng files that won't open at all in Photoshop or Lightroom ("unexpected end-of-file occurred"). These same files OPEN WITHOUT A PROBLEM IN APPLE's PHOTOS APP.None of these images have ever before been opened in any program other than Photoshop and Lightroom. My backup versions of the same files won't open in Photoshop or Lightroom either.Apple's Photos app has no problem with any of these files. They also appear quickly in Apple's Preview. So don't tell me it's my hardware.How is this possible?The tedious task of finding the bad ones, opening them in Photos, exporting to TIF and then importing them again to Lightroom is simply not practical. There MUST be a better way—and a way to prevent this from happening again.This is an emergency fo

Bonjour,Depuis plusieurs jours, dans l'un de mes catalogues, les photos ne s'affichent plus dans l'onglet "bibliothèque" après avoir utiliser l'onglet "développement" où les photos s'affichent normalement . Une indication apparait "chargement en cours", la photo disparait, puis un fond gris apparait. JLLH   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

Hi, for over a month I have an issue with spot removal tool. I have over 500 photos with small dust spots from scanning, so I cleaned all of them with delete spot removal and since then whenever I restart Lightroom I have to update them. I didn't use generative AI, so I don't even understand why I have to do this. I was looking for solutions and none of them worked. I moved .lcart file from Lr folder, I used the ctrl+alt+U shortcut in the library module after selecting all photos in folder and none of these worked. The latter didn't even do anything, because when I looked in develop module, none of the spots were updated on any photo. There's also an issue with mask tools that may use AI (sky selection and object selection masks), I have to update them every time too.   Lr Classic 14.0.1 Windows 10 v.22H2   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

In  'All Photos" it often shows duplicates in the same folder. When i go to the folder, of course there is only one.  It also will show a missing photo right next to the actual photo. When I try to find the missing photo, it tells me it already exists in the catalog. I hopoe there is a solution for this.

My back button on Lightroom has dissapeared. Whenever I edit photos, I have an arrow that wipes all the edits I have made and I am unable to delete my last step as the back button arrow is no longer there. Please help

I would like to see more options for the crop guide overlay in Lightroom Classic. Specific example: I'm using the Golden Spiral overlay, and the smallest point in the spiral always shows up in the upper right area of the image. What if I want to put it in the lower left? I can see no way to do this.

Hey all,   I'm having issues with AI denoise. I've tried many times and waited forever for the same photos, checked the original folder for the dngs, tried different amounts of noise reduction, updated my computer, and nothing seems to work.   Thank you   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

When exporting files, the export process seems to take a long time - sometimes up to 10 minutes - to actually start exporting.I've found Lightroom in general to be running really slowly since the upgrade, so don't know if this is part of a wider performance issue.

WHAT'S GOING ON? I just opened LRc, and it turns out I've lost everything. All the presets I've been working on for years are gone. I can't even add photos to the program. Adobe, what's wrong with you lately? You've been making so many mistakes recently! How am I supposed to recover years of my work now?

Hi, I have Epson ET-8550 printer installed with latest drivers. When I print from lightroom, printed colors are way off from what I see on my monitor, but absolutely correct when I print exported to Epson Print Layout. Same paper ICC profile is set in lightroom and EPL.  What I'm missing? 

I dragged and dropped all  'lrcat'  files from the MacBook internal to the new external.  When doing so on      two of them I got a message that there was a newer version of that file so I didn't copy those two.  Should I also move them just to be safe? I thought I read that the next time I want to open LR I will click on on of the files on the external and somehow LR will then do that automatically in the future.   But does that also mean I won't be able to use LR without the external drive being connected? Can I now delete the internal drive files?   Thank you

I just hooked up a new OLED that has a comparable brightness to my MacBook Pro's display, yet I only see approximately 1 additional f-stop worth of Dynamic Range on the right side of the Histogram divider with HDR editing turned on.  The remainder of the HDR half of the histogram is greyed-out.This doesn't seem right to me. How does LR know my display's capabilities? Is it taken from settings baked into the current monitor profile? I use a Calibrite Display Plus HL colorimeter to profile my displays, and I built this profile to target D65, 2.2 Gamma, and the display's measured luminance (i.e., I didn't try to match 120cd/m² --I simply cranked it all the way up and made sure "HDR" was turned on in the System Display Settings dialog). Am I somehow choking LR's HDR capability with my calibration profile? EDIT (to clarify solution): So, I learned a lot of stuff about my external display, and about Apple's latest OS "improvements" that moved various settings around,

Hallo,ich bearbeite seit 3 Jahren meine Fotos in Lightroom auf dem IPad. Dazu nutze ich gern die KI-basierten Presets für neue Anregungen. (Unter Presets und dann auf „Empfohlen“)Nun bin ich auf einen Mac umgestiegen und nutze auch da u.a. diese Lightroomversion, neben Lightroom CC. Allerdings funktionieren hier die KI Presets nicht. Die Fotos sind lokal, deshalb wahrscheinlich keine KI Funktion.Auf dem IPad läuft es aber weiterhin, trotz voller Cloud. Was läuft auf dem IPad anders, als auf Mac oder PC? Durch die volle Cloud könnte ich doch eigentlich auch keine Bilder mehr auf dem IPad bearbeiten, wenn die KI nur mit der Cloud funktioniert. Was muss ich tun, um diese Funktion auch auf dem Mac nutzen zu können?Und zu meiner 2. Frage:Wie und wo sehe ich, was in meiner Adobe Cloud gespeichert ist? DankeMarcel

I have tried EVERYTHING.  I cannot import or export files.  When I click export, I get the message Unable to export Source Files are offline or missing   YET, when I locate the file, either individually or via folder, it points directly to the location.   I have tried syncronizing, I have unistalled and re-installed lightroom.  I just cannot figure this out.  I also took an original (my photos are stored in lightroom) and put it on my desk top. I cannot import that photo.     ANY help would be so appreciated!!   Tracey Winholt   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

I'm having issues with my edits not uploading to SmugMug (only on some photos, not all of them) Lightroom Classic 14.0.1, Windows 10, SM Publisher Version 3.5.7.0, Lightroom 14.0.1    I believe Smugmug gave up last night after 2 months.  Smugmug:  The Publish manager and Export settings windows appear to be correct. ⬆⬆The problem you are describing is an issue between the Develop and Library modules. This is out of the scope of the support SmugMug can provide for Lightroom.  I would check to make sure the .XMP files are associated with each image. This is really a issue for Adobe as the plugin takes instruction from the Lightroom catalog. N Data is stored or saved in the SmugMug plugin. What's happening is crazy. I can upload anywhere between 10 to 100 photos, but there's always a few edits and titles that don't upload. I always go from LRC to SM plugin to my SM website. I always thought it was random, now I believe I've isolated a single picture that is probl
