Using windows 11. Updates to both LRC and PS (cloud) seem to have issues that get worse on every update. ie, LRC won't retain in preferences anything I put in, all goes back to default. When going from LRC to PS via editing under photo tab, will not transfer, unless I completely power down and restart, also still says PS2024 no matter how many times I've reset prefferences in LRC. Also, tools goes blank, reset to photo instead of paint, it does NOT retain this. WHY???????Have been using this for years, seems you just screw it up more on every update.Also, this fearure to post, gets more and more tedious, WHY?????

Hi All,I just upgraded my 2021 Macbook Pro from Catalina to Ventura 13.7.1.  When I go to use my Lightroom Classic catalog it comes up with an error. While it says my catalog is too new I know it is the other way around - my OS is too new for the older catalog version - I went through this before.  However...   How can I download the right version of Lightroom Classic to my laptop without exceeding my OS?  The only version I see in Adobe Creative Cloud is 14.1.  I am concerned that I will overshoot my current OS and have more problems.  What do I do??   And, my clock is ticking on deadlines... many thanks!

When the M4 Max processor came out, I read in a few places that LRC did not take advantage of all the power the M4 Max had, especially when exporting. I've read the Release Notes for the December update (14.1) and they don't say anything about that. Can someone confirm that this was fixed?

Hello, the right side of my lightroom filmstrip has gone off the edge of the screen, please see attached screenshot where you can see half of the scroll bar is missing and last 2 photos are cut off. Using Mac Sequoia 15.1.1, LR version 14.1. I have: restarted application, restarted laptop, updated LR to latest version, hid and unhid the filmstrip in window settings. No change...

I have some photos that Lightroom will not import. I have previously had these photos imported, but my Lightroom catalog corrupted, and I've spent the past month putting everything back together (and creating a good backup).I suspect it is thinking they are duplicates, but even when I uncheck the button to not import duplicates, it will not allow them to be imported. I tried searching for the full file names without any filters on, and I get results (older photos), but nothing of these photos I'm trying to import. Any ideas how I can get these to import? The folder location shows up in the "folders" drop-down menu, but they show up as containing zero photos (not accurate), while other folders on the same hard drive are having no issues showing correctly.

Can you add the Display Focus Point back???

All of a sudden I can't import photos destination folder is not writable. I haven't changed anything.  

Hi all. I'm having a strange behavior here and dunno if this is related with the latest Lightroom Classic updates. I have my catalog with a lot of photo and sometimes I find photos from my computer and just to check if they are imported on my catalago, I select the folder to import and if the phots are not highlighted, they are on my catalog. I always worked like this.These days, I tried to do the same thing with some photos and Lightroom Classic shows all the photo as not part of my catalog, but I check on the photos folder and all are there and on the catalog too on lightroom. Dunno why this is happening now, but there is a way to "validate" all the photos on the catalogo to avoid duplicated imported photos? Checked the metadata of the photos that are "duplicated" and are the same of the original imported on the catalog.Thanks. 

Version of the app Platform and OS version  Basic steps to reproduce the problemNot sure what this means exactly but here goes nothing:When I insert the SD Card into the machine directly or an attached card reader the drive becomes navigatable on the desktop / finder. (working as expected)When I open LR Classic then navigate to the import screen the cards are selectable and in that left most pane the sub folders available and selectable however the photo previews do not appear so I am not able to select and import my photos from SD Cards.LR Classic has access to all files in privacy Expected result and actual resultWhen I insert the SD Card into the machine directly or an attached card reader the drive becomes navigatable on the desktop / finder.

Hello! I'm trying to import photos into Lightroom and I can't. I have no warning of any errors, it just doesn't matter. I already tried in another catalogue, I changed the folder and it didn't work.https://drive.google.com/file/d/1S3dt0p5qamFvFCF-IBS8MOgxuZFg-rOL/view?usp=sharing

I haven't had problems with my primary LR Classic catalogue for years, however recently encounterted an odd bug: Clicking to different collections didn't yield the proper photo count (below the toolbar), even though the correct images were shown. No menu options could be selected and attempting to quit out didn't register anything. Strangly, there was no "not responding" note in the force-quit menu when I'd inevitiably have to do that.  Just a note, the mouse doesn't freeze, I can click around to different collections, however most actions are not occuring.  Other cats works fine but going back to this one, the same problem recurs. I updated LR Classic, which updated the catalogue. That along with restarting the computer didn't fix the problem.  LR .cat backups only occur monthly, though I can possibly nab a much more recent one on time machine, I hope that'll have to be a last resort. Any suggestions greatly appreciated by me AND my deadlines! &#1285

I updated to LRc 14.1 this morning since when the software is unusable. When I open LRc it will force close immediately I try to work on an image; even if I do nothing an error will occur and the system will close. It was working perfectly before the update but is now unusable.  After submitting an error report the Adobe software ran a diagnostic for compatability issues but found no problems. I'm running Windows 10 24H2 (OS Build 26.100.2605) with a core i9 14900K CPU, ASUS TUF Gaming B760-Plus WiFi and Zotac GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB Twin Edge - which was perfectly capable of running LRc before the update.

I usually rate images in Camera itself after the shoot.I then import the entire set of captured photos into Lightroom Classic (ALL captured - Rated+Unrated)Post import, I sort the images by Rating and then delete the Unrated images (Remove from Lightroom)Followed by editing the rated images in Lightroom Is there any workaround to import only the Rated Photos into Lightroom?

Our agency recently upgraded our server and all computers. I wasn't involved firsthand in that, and now I've found several issues in Lightroom.Our photo library currently holds more than 293,000 photos. Those files were copied to the new server with the same folder structure (year --> date --> file). No one involved knew how to relink everything in one click, so one person started linking one collection at a time. I was asked to get involved and figured out how to do a batch relink.However, several things aren't right as seen in the attached photos which I'll explain.Many photos indicate "file not found". If you right-click and select "Show in Finder", it will point to the photo, so the software knows where it is.Many photos also indicate via the right-click menu that they are not in a collection. However, the thumbnail badge shows it is in a collection.Conversely, some photos say they are in a collection, but there's no thumbnail badge.Edits do not immediately show up in History

Hello, I've had images with the exclamation marks and have had to relocate them before, but this is something entirely different.In the library module, I was reordering some photos between my 2nd shooter and myself for a wedding.  I had 22 photos selected and was moving them to a new section of the wedding.  I dropped them and they dissapppeared.  Now, they are still there in the folder on my hard drive (images 892-914).  In my lightroom folder it says 916 of 957 photos (because there's some stacks).  I've turned off all filters.  I've tried to see if they are available to import, but they are grayed out as if they are already there.I really don't understand what's happening.  I went to ALL PHOTOS in lightroom and searched for the filenames, but they still don't show up.  Help?

Hi, I used before Luminar Flex in my Lightroom. Now I want removed the plugins. Iwas just doing that from Preferenser/External Editing BUT Flex is still in my Modules (photo below). Can I just removed those files?

I transferred my Lightroom Classic catalog and photos from PC (catalog was on internal SSD & photos were on external SSD) to MacBook Air, with both the catalog & photos on the internal drive. I obviously did something wrong because every image on both on Lightroom Mobile as well as Lightroom desktop have been moved to the deleted status and are no longer appearing in my albums. I can't figure out what I did wrong.As I'm writing this, the All Synced Photographs on Lightroom Classic on the PC is counting down toward zero.I still have my original catalog and photos in multiple places, so I'm not concerned (at least not yet) that I'll lose everything.Can anyone help who is very knowledgeable about all aspects of Lightroom's syncing process?

Ich kann meine Fotos nicht mehr exportieren. Der Export stoppt kurz vor Schluss. Egal welche Dateigrösse, Zielort usw. Ich habe LR neu installiert, Aus einem anderen Katalog versucht zu exportieren, nichts funktioniert.   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

Hoping someone can help.My Lightroom classic library is stored on an external drive with additional safety copies on different drives.I have recently included my main external drive in my Time Machine back up and was experimenting to find out the process of recovering my  Lightroom Library should anything happen to the drive. I successfully restored the library from Time Machine to a spare external drive. The files and folders are the same size and all images appear to be there but as the new drive has a different name all images have the exclamation mark. Does anyone know the best way to fully restore a Lightroom library in the event that I had to rely on the Time Machine copy backed up on a completely new drive? Many thanks in advance.

Hello everyone, I've a MacBook Air M1 and the desplay default resolution is 1440 x 900; if I'm setting on "More Space" the resolution is 1680 x 1050. Why in the LrC Catalog Settings the Standard Preview Size if is set on Auto is 3360px?

When attempting to open a file in LRC, I got this notification -The Lightroom catalog cannot be opened because it is too new to be used by this version of Lightroom. Would you like to select a different catalog?- However, no update is available. Any idea why this is happening/ how to fix it?

I'm having problems with my primary catalogue, so I'm importing it into a new catalogue to troubleshoot and see if the issues will go away. However, it's already taking over an hr to import, even with virtual copies.  I think I'll be better off trying other ideas due to a deadline, and would think that cancelling this shouldn't affect the catalogue being important in any negative way, but wanted to check in first. Should I let this run its course, or can I cancel without fear?  I don't care about the new catalogue I just made.  Thanks!

I have already read previous message about it but no solution or broken link I try to delete image and I always get this error "?:0: attempt to index field 'rootFile' (a nil value)" I cant find the solution, the folder all in read and delete so what to do ? because I can manage without any issue my external diskthis ,is lightroom 11.3.1 and os 12.3.1 Any idea please ?
