Lightroom Classic

I am working on a photo in Lightroom Classic, then I want to edit it further in Photoshop26 but even though I have done external editing in preferences “Adobe Photoshop 2026” It is not working , it is greyed out 

I have a colour cast when printing I have correct profiles and not letting printer option 

I don't know if this is a bug or a mistake. I frequently run into issues up-syncing my LR Classic pictures to the cloud. Right now LR Classic reports that is is syncing 10 files. It has reported that for weeks. I have followed the advice of Anshul_Saini, who wrote:• Sign out of Lightroom Classic, quit the app, relaunch it, and sign back in. After signing back in, let sync run for a few minutes and see if the same photos remain stuck.I did that.• Check Lightroom Web. Sign in at https://adobe.ly/49uUY7n– Look for the same photos that are stuck in Classic– Clear the Deleted folder, remove any photos inside it from the web interfaceI did that.• Inspect problematic photosIn Lightroom Classic, go to All Synced Photographs and identify the images that won’t sync.Try selecting one affected photo and changing Metadata > Edit Capture Time and set it to anything, eg, 12:00:00 PM.This often forces Lightroom to re-evaluate metadata and can unblock stuck sync items.I did that.I would like to send

After importing three large files of raw images, I noticed that the files were not visible in the Folders section. This was a considerable surprise ,as I've been using Lr for 15 years plus and never experienced this before.I thought that I had done something wrong and tried to import the files again.This was not possible as the Lr import window showed the file images (stored on my Mac) , but these swiftly greyed out prior to hitting the import tab.Under normal circumstances, this would suggest to me that the files have already been imported and in the catalogue.There is however a folder called Volumes at the bottom of the folder window (see screenshot) with an exclamation mark in it, which holds 30,237 images .Could this possibly be the three large files I am looking for?As you can see, the right facing triangle is greyed out , hence making it impossible to open to see the subfolders .Does anyone know how to open this file please or is there another cause of this issue ?If so, any guid

iMac Pro (2017) Sequoia 15.7.7, SSD 2 TB with 778 GB available.  Catalog on SSD.  Upgrade from LR 13.3.  Images on external drives.

  I lost  all off my catalogues due to an external disk  failure . This means Lightroom will not open I have tried to create a new catalogue but Light room still refuses to open. I've reinstalled Lightroom as per adobes instructions but Lightroom still refuses to open. My next step is to completely remove all Lightroom data on the PC and do a completely clean install of Lightroom starting all over again. Any advice on this approach?

I'm having some issues with the HDR feature in Lightroom Classic. When I select the HDR feature in lightroom and export the image, with HDR export selected, the exported image does not look like the HDR preview. It looks like the 'Preview for SDR display' option. I'm working on an m1 pro macbook with macOS Ventura which supports HDR. I thought maybe it was just the preview app so I moved it to the photos app and activated HDR display but no look, still looks like the SDR preview. I have also tried looking at the image on my phone and uploading to instagram, both of which are supposed to support HDR but neither display it properly which makes me think the issue is with the lightroom export. Anyone know how to correctly display HDR images?

Lightroom will not open and crashes immediately.

OS: Windows 11LrC VERSION: 14.5A couple of days ago I upgrade to v14.5.As for every update, I regurlay empty cache, optimise catalog, remove all previews and generate new standard ones (also, I wanted to test how was was the new option to use GPU for generating previews).Never had a problem with this workflow.After previews generation process was completed (1h 30m for 29.000 files, 23.000 jpegs and 6.000 raws) I got an error: for 21 RAWs the preview could not be generated. Looking in the catalog at those files, I realised they have an exclamation mark on a dark circle: this is not the missing photo mark. If I click on the exclamation mark, I see error "Lightroom has encountered problems reading this photo, you are not allowed to edit this image. " Yet, I can still enter develop module and edit the photos without any problem: the editing history is there, I can zoom in at 100% (generating the 1:1 preview), I can change sliders, export... Everything... (PS: I do not use smart previe

I have a Mac but my operating system (Ventura 13.7.8) is no longer supported and I am unable to upgrade Lightroom. However, export to PS has always worked up until now. LR version is 14.5.2

i've recently migrated from an Intel mac to an M3. I'm running LrC version 13.1; Sonoma 14.1.1Photoshop, Bridge, Indesign all work perfectly. LrC crashes immediately on startup - the splash screen appears for a moment then it vanishes. i've read through some older threads and here's what I've tried so far:- uninstalled and reinstalled LrC multiple times (including older versions) and rebooted- checked read/write permissions for Adobe log file (fine)- deleted LrC preferences (option/shift when starting the application)- disabled literally ALL login items and restarted - makes no difference- deleted all of LRC's library filesHowever ... I've also created a new user and tried starting LrC from that account - and it starts up just fine. clearly there's an issue with my account, but i'm at a loss as to what it might be. i've sent error reports to Adobe, so there should be some logged somewhere under my email address tia 🙂Genie

Windows 11Lightroom 15.4.1I have recently enabled ‘Automatically write changes into sidecar files (XMP/ACR)”  - mainly as a safety net in leu of other issues, but that is not relevant here.It took a while for LR to complete the saving of all metadata files - probably 12 hours (259K files in the catalog).I just loaded LR, edited one image in PS and saved. It appeared in LR and then I clicked CLOSE on LR. It warned me that Metadata processing was still busy. I checked the status and 843 files are being processed. The folder I have open only has 744 images.I used Resource Monitor to check what files lightroom.exe was accessing - and it is lots of MP4/MOV/AVI files ... in folders unrelated to the folder I was viewing at the time.I have repeated this and seem similar activity each time.It’s not a problem - but i wonder why it needs to scan video files at all?   and why it does this regardless of the images I am working on. 

Bonjour,   bonen années à tous !!! J'ai depuis longtemps des problèmes avec LRC et la synchronisation de collections. certaines photos qui étaient synchronisées deviennent tout à coup problématiques. par exemple ici, j'ai des photos que j'ai modifiées et elles sont depuis plusieurs jours en attente de sync. Je n'ai que l'information d'un probleme qualifié "image". Parfois on a "métadonnées". Je ne sais pas comment interpréter ces informations et en core moins comment corriger. si quelqu'un peut m'aider ... ce problème d'incohérence me pourrit la vie depuis très longtemps et jamais personne n'est arrivé à m'aider ! merci d'avance   about LRC :

Bonjour, j'ai un problème dans Lightroom classic avec la création de mots clés. En mode grille, j'entre un mot clé, j'enregistre Pomme+S, je clique sur une autre image et quand je reviens, soit le mot clé apparait, soit il n'apparait pas, soit il apparait avec un astérisque.

tried different folders, always same result. Lots of space available on the drive.A technician did manage to resolve it 18 months ago but the fix only lasted a week.I think its something to do with Google drive as it used to try and back up to it.I also continually get this:When I export photos any AI based edits I’ve made frequently do not export so I have to do them again in the hope it works. Thak you for any help 

I’m on a MacBook Pro M5, system Tahoe 26.1 I just moved the LR catalog to an external drive.  The picture files were duplicated onto the same external drive.  When I open the catalog, it can’t find any pictures, so I show it where the local picture files are.  The pictures all show up, but the stacks are expanded and I the stacking submenu is greyed out.

Hola, tengo descargada la última versión 15.4.1 y cámara raw 18.4.1, hace tiempo q no entro en lightroom y ahora al entrar no me aparecen las fotos sino que cuadrados grises, lo tengo todo actualizado pero sigue igual. Necesito ayuda por favor 

I got this error after upgrade to LrC 15.0. Update 15.0.1 not fix this issue.   "Lightroom has encountered problems reading this photo. You will not be able to make adjustments to this photo."   My photos file are OK, restart LrC will able to edit again, but it will happen again sometimes after I sync the photo setting form one photo to another one.   OS is macOS 15.7.2.

I can’t import anything into Lightroom classic on version 15.4.1. On import the import box is not showing any photos at all. These are not duplicates photos.When I go to import I select a source and then I choose the folder nothing shows.I have tried restating Lightroom and my computer, trying different drives, nothing works. Lightroom isn’t seeing any images on my computer/ drives.  

I am wanting to edit some images in a particular folder in Lightroom.  When looking at the folder in File Explorer there are almost 100 image files in the particular folder.  However, Lightroom only sees 22 files.  I've selected the folder and tried both IMPORT and SYNCHRONIZE however nothing happens.How do I fix this?
