Lightroom Classic

After Upgrade to LRC 14.0.1, Won't export any of my files. Can any tell me if this is being looked into by Adobe? When I googled it I see Im not the only one with this problem after the upgrade. Can hit export button but just hangs and doesn't export. 

Hi,I'm a recent convert to Mac and have started opening my Windows created catalogues on the MacBook. As this is a recently new resubscription, the lrcat files need upgrading.As the photo filesystem has changed since my last subscription, I'm forcing LR to Synchronise Folders.Within a few minutes this causes Finder to lose the SMB shares, it moves into a state of "Connecting". I can force a restart on Finder and some times it may eventually come back for a few minutes, maybe not... LR is the only application causing this issue, I've had the MacBook for a month or so and have never experienced this with anything other than Lightroom - anyone seen this before?FYI I've confgured Max of SMB3 and Min of SMB2 on the NAS.

My HDD stopped working the other day (suddenly appeared as "uncategorized" in the drive manager and disappeared from the Win Explorer). I managed to rescue the files, however, they are saved in an arbitrary order in many (arbitrary) subfolders now. I managed to open the latest *.lrcat file, however all connections are gone as the file paths have changed. What I tried:Right-click on the top level folder in LRC to relocate the pictures, selecting the overarching "images-folder" in which all the rescued image files are stored.Search for the raw file in Win Explorer and relocate a single image/ update the file path.None did work. Is there any way to re-connect the raw files to the LRC catalogue without re-building the originial folder structure (basically impossible looking at the amount of pictures/ folders)? Thank you!

I recently was notified by my MacBook Pro that it was almost full (storage). I was shocked as I store all my LR/Photos on an external hard drive from day one. After looking into it further, it appears that the largest memory consumer was "Lightroom Catalog Previews.lrdata" - using 83GB of data. I did some reading up and found that my preview settings were defaulted at a "higher quality" setting and therefore large files. I corrected the setting. I understand that will prevent for the future, but what can be done now to the existing file/folder to free up some storage? What exactly is this "folder" and can it be deleted? Any advice is appreciated - thank you!

I'm trying to sort the images by odd number and even number filenames using the Smart Collection function. For the odd number smart collection, I set the criteria with any filename ending with 1.jpg, 3.jpg, 5.jpg, and so on. This picked up most of the odd number ending items, exept for the repeating digit numbers, such as 11.jpg, 33.jpg, 55.jpg, etc. I am suspecting, might this be a bug? I am using Lightroom Classic 2025 14.0.1 Release, Mac OS 15.2.

Every time I try to work on a photo Lightroom 8.1 and Lightroom Classic 14.1 crash. I´ve followed several steps:  1. Reset preferences 2. Run as admin 3. Update GPU to High performance.    but still its not working    [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

I get empty picture frames in LR. Can't delete them, optimize catalog won´t help. Now I have more then ten of empty frames which are no t related to any real pictures.

Hi! I had an old version of LR ver6 installed on an old laptop. The laptop has given up the ghost. I reinstalled on my new Windows 11 desktop. Installed OK, but on launch it is going through the registration process. I registered it when I purchased it, and it's in my products in my account.Any ideas how to get out of this loop? Thanks

I have several pictures (CR2 files) that appear to be damaged. If I look at them with either Lightroom (14.1) or Photoshop. When I open them in for example Irfanview, the picture is as it should be.Picture below shows a screencapture of left Irfanview and right lightroom.  Tried:- removing picture from lightroom and re-import -> no change- discard smartpreview and then build smartpreview.-renaming file and importing "new" file Any help on what to do or where to find an answer is appreciated. 

All of a sudden Lighroom Classic will only open in the background.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it still doesn't work properly.

With the new 14.1.1 update, Slideshow is not working, at all. I'm on a macbook pro (14" M2 max 2023) and Ventura 13.4.1.Nothing happens at all when I click Play.

I am importing a 6,000 image Lightroom catalog off of my traveling laptop into my master 100,000 image desktop catalog and the importing process quickly progresses to the ~60% mark of "Checking for changed duplicate photos", when it then slows to a crawl -- 14 hours later, the import progress thermometer has barely moved. Both catalogs have recently been optimized. The importing desktop system is very high performance (Windows 10, i7-6700K @4.5GHz, 32GB RAM, SSDs). I am running Lr V2015.8 on both systems. The Lr process is taking ~15% of the system's CPU and 8GB of its RAM. It shouldn't take more than a half day (& counting) before one can even start working on a remote project's images! At a minimum, there should be a way for me to turn off the checking for duplicates, since I know that none exist!! In any case, any ideas on why importing is so slow and suggestions for speeding up this ridiculously slow process?

I receive the message "Could not Update AI settings for X photos" when trying to sync a preset that contains an AI mask to several photos at once.I am usually able to apply the preset containing the AI mask to photos individually but I quite often find that Lightroom freezes after applying to 5 or 6 photos and I need to close and re-open the application.Any help would be appreciated! 

Hi,My previews are initially soft (low resolution, slightly compressed) when I preview them in loupe at "fit". Until I zoom in to 100% (goes pretty quickly, ~1s), and return to "fit". From then on the preview is high resolution as it should be.Just waiting does not generate the high resolution preview. All previews are rendered before checking at 1:1.I tried different preview catalog settings, different resolutions, different qualities. This does not seem to have any influence on the previews. The previews were always discarded before changing settings and rendering them again.In attachment: a preview before zooming, and one after zooming.I hope someone knows what's going on, as I'm wasting my time zooming in and out again on nearly every image. My system: Windows 11 23H2, i7 14700KF, 64GB, RTX 4060 Ti 16GB, catalog and pictures are on m.2 SSD. Windows and all drivers are up to date.

I'm blown away. I was searching for a photo by name in "iPhoto" or "photos" or whatever apple is calling it on my iPhone these days. The word I was looking for was "press". Not only did it find an image of a press pass but it found the word "press" WITHIN the image. I mean it was highlighting the WORD inside the image. So I searched for the word "quartet " and it found an image of a poster. The word "quartet" was not in the NAME of the image. The app found the word "quartet" actually in the .jpg snapshot of the poster. It read the image.  question. Can Lightroom do this? If not, why not?

Ik zie in de beschikbare apps van creative cloud  meerdere versies van photoshop. maar vanuit Lightroom classis kan ik alleen bewerken in de 2023 versie. terwijl de nieuwste versie de AI mogelijkheden heeft. Ik heb de Creative Cloud pakket en Sequoia geinstalleerd. wie kan mij hierin assisteren?    

I work on Lightroom 6.6 on Mac OS 10.11.6 but Having a new computer with a more recent Mac OS I am obliged to subscribe to Lightroom Classic (everything was so simple before),I just wanted to know if with LR Classic, if I open a catalog created on Lightroom 6.6, I find all my Collections classifications and if it automatically connects to my source folders and files that I will have transferred to the new computer or if I will have to "reconnect" all the folders of my library with my sets of collections and collections. ??Please tell me your experience if you have already had it or the precautions to take.I looked everywhere, no information on this subject on the site (I specify that I will not use the Cloud under any circumstances and that I have all my source photo files on my computer hard drive)ThanksPat from Paris

LRC 14.1.1 on a MAcbook Pro with M3 Pro chipsince yesterday, when i make a mask and try to make exposure adjustments, the adjustments are applied to the area of the picture NOT in the mask. If i select 'invert' it doesnt fix the problem. I think i hit a mistaken combination of shortcut keys and now this 'inversion' happens on every picture i try to develop using masks. can anyone hepl me reverse this?

I have the ENHANCE EYES/ WN02/ VIVID/ HEAVY GRAIN presets all applied to the photo1) How do I see which presets are applied to my photo?2) Is there a way to switch off and on which presets are applied? 3) Can I adjust the strength of these presets? ie. is there to apply WN02 at 100% or at 10%? Currently the only place I can see the presets is in the "history" panel. But sometimes I don't want to go back in history, I want the ability to see and adjust the presets. 

Hi I recently installed the latest update to Lightroom Classic (LrC) and have experirncrd the following problem, which I have never had. My Catalog contains 8,846 Synced Photographs as uploaded on Lightroom, but since my recent  LrC update the first 4,510 photographs appear as blanks and when you point to any of the blanks the following statements appear: 1) 'Photo is missing' 2) 'Cannot edit an offline photo unless it has a Smart Preview'. The file names for all the blank photos are registered but not the image.  All 8,846 Synced photos in Lightroom are visible, and they all used to be visible in Lightroom Classic until the latest update. I don't understand why that is the case. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]
