Lightroom Classic

Where did it go? No check box in preferences to turn on or off and nothing that I can see in the View Menu. Thanks. Mac 15.1.1, LR 14.0.1

So I'm going to try and make this as short as possible.I have been using LrC on multiple machines ( Mac and PC ) for a few years now.Usually I do all my heavy lifting on my Mac Machines ( Mac Studio with M1Max 32gb RAM and Macbook Pro with M1Pro 16gb RAM ). I usually edit about 2000-3000 photos per session ( mostly weddings ).I always use a Midi Controller to go through my photos and edit them pretty fast. I have my preset applied at import and everything works fine on LrC 12.5.2 ( last of the 12 ).Whenever I updated to ANY of the 13 versions ( and I've tried them ALL ) - editing and jumping back/forth through my images in Develop module slowed down considerably. There is DEFINITELY more lag jumping to next photos in line and is very annoying. The same goes for both the Mac Studio and Macbook Pro. Everytime there was a new v13 release I updated to it to try it out ( hoping the problem is solved ) but it never did so I always had to go back to the 12.5.2 ( using Other Version in the Cre

If you export the same image with the same settings, but output to AVIF and than JPG XL, the headroom values of both images will be different.   Example: AVIF = 15.419 JPG XL = 4.926   The image was the same edit for both exports, everything was the same except for the format. Maximize Compatibility was turned off, so gain maps were not added. AVIF headroom seems to vary per image, while JPG XL is the same for all exported images.   Preview.app with macOS Sequoia will show the headroom for each image.

I left my Macbook last night with Lightroom open, but completely idle. No background tasks whatsoever, no exporting metadata or anything like that..just completely idle. Came to it this morning and the Macbook was hot to touch.. really unusual as it's a Macbook M1 Max, 64gb RAM, 2tb SSD, Mac OS 14.5 and rarely breaks into a sweat. I checked activity monitor and saw the CPU usage for Lightroom was over 400%...  this is abnormal, when it's idle, surely??I've quit Lightroom now and the computer has noticably cooled down in just 5 minutes as I write this..

I bought this program years ago and I just saw a video where they have a de-noise setting on the latest update. I try updating and it says I'm up to date but it's only version 6. Do pc programs not get updates?

Dear Adobe Community: System:  Mac Mini OS Sequoia 15.1.1   Lots of RAM and room on 5TB HD., the import destination.Ever since I upgraded to latest OS,  I've been unable to import photos from iPhone 13 Pro to LR Classic 14.0.1I go through the steps but then nothing happens when I click on "Import"...The progress bar in upper left corner just shows no progress at all.Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be going on?Thanks,Frank 

When I import an Aperture 3.6 library to Lightroom Classic 14.0.1 using the import plugin, Aperture Faces does not show up as Keywords.Using a MacBook Pro with M4Pro and MacOS Sequoia 15.1.1

I am using LR Classic on MacOS and just moved my catalog to an external SSD in order to free up space on the MacBook system drive. I did the move with LR closed. I simply copied the entire folder that contained the library to the new location. I then double-clicked the catalog file in the new location to launch LR.  This worked fine. I was able to browse my files, etc. with no errors.  I closed and then reponed LR to make sure it was still referencing the new location and it was. I then proceeded to import some images from a memory card as normal.  This worked fine.  I made some minor changes to those files and then went to export those images, but the moment I clicked the Export button in the Library module, I get this error: Unable to Export - Source file(s) are offline or missing. The only problem is, the files are not missing and not offline.  Nothing else on my system changed. I dont get it.  Can some help with this

Hello all, I've been using LR on Mac then Pc for years. Always with the one catalogue being moved from hard drive to new hard drive (and photos on external drive) I currentley have about 50,000 images on an internal 4tb hard drive in my pc and one catalogue on my c drive in my pc..(Both backed up on external drives along with a Cat backup too) I have just bought a laptop to do all my photography work on going forward. I also bought 2 Sandisk 4tb external hard drives. The idea here is to move the current photos folder to one of these new external hard drives and to move the catalogue to the c drive on my laptop.The second new external 4tb hard drive is for some free space going forward. Things I need help with/understanding - 1) (Please see attached screen shot of my Catalogue) Why is my Catalogue folder so full of files? It's also 107GB in size. Is this overlap from the various moves to different computers? Can anything be safley deleted from here? Any suggestions t

I inadvertently moved the lrcat file to my NAS where all my images are stored.  Lightroom had a fit when I next opened it, so I moved it back.  That didn't solve the issue and now I get a "The folder could not be found error." All my images are stored on an NAS and are still there.  How do I point Lightroom to the images?  Also, if I'm going to lose all the edits I've done over the years, can I take this opportunity to reorganize my folder of images into something that makes more sense compared to how I haphazardly did it originally?  

My father teaches lightroom to a group of fellow seniors.  He's been complaining that his laptop doesn't have enough memory to run Lightroom efficiently and project on screen and stuff.  In case you couldn't tell from the word "stuff", I am most definitely not a lightroom user or a computer geek.  I could definitely use some help.  I'd like to get him an exceptional machine and read that gaming laptops are usually really good for Lightroom.  Looking at the Omen Transcend 14" by HP.  I would appreciate any and all thoughts.  Just want to get this right.  It's my dad.  Here are the specs: Op Sys: Windows 11Processor:  Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 185H (up to 5.1 GHz with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology, 24 MB L3 cache, 16 cores, 22 threads)Graphics:  Integrated: Intel® Arc™ GraphicsDisplay:  Discrete: NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4070 Laptop GPU (8 GB GDDR6 dedicated)14" diagonal, 3K (2880 x 1800), OLED, 48-120 Hz, 0.2 ms response

Hi there. Ive been working my 2019 Intel MBP pretty hard over the years. Its ability to quickly read and edit images in LRC (and PS), has been faultering for a while now. I work in a few disciplines of photography  but the core of my work has me needing to analyze and cull and tweak anything up to and over 3000 raw files at times. Like many people right now i am eyeing the new Mini and not having been in the M-Chip/Unified memory game yet i find myself lacking in tech knowledge as to what the best conficyuration would be to get the best results without overspending in unnecessary areas. I've read a few conflicting articles about what the best way to go is. When buying a Mac, i'm finding myself always checking every box. The mac that started off as a very reasonable $999 cranks up to $7k at checkout lol  I usually try to get max HD/SSD when i can to begin with but I'd appreciate any thoughts in this community as to what is important to get the best and grun

I'm running LR Classic V 13.4 on Windows 10.  When I try to import from a card in my camera (I have two), the import dialog begins to show the photos on the card, then it crashes LR.  I can import from my computer HD without issue and Windows file explorer can access my cards without issue.  Disabling the GPU doesn't help. Thanks!Elia

Hello Lightroom community, I did something foolish a long time ago and it's just become a problem. Years back when I started using Lightroom, I set it up on my H: drive. I created a folder there called 'Pictures' and then (don't ask my why) I created inside that folder another folder called 'Pictures' in which lived my 'Lightroom' folder (where the catalogues and backups live) and the 'MY LIGHTROOM PHOTOS' folder (with all the images in dated folders). For years that worked fine, despite my folder structure error. Now I've just moved to a new PC - with great care. I have a new H: drive and transferred the old H: drive structure into it. When I loaded up Lightroom Classic, all my images were there - deep joy. However, just yesterday, when I tried to import some new images for the first time, I was given this message: The destination folder  "H:\Pictures\MY LIGHTROOM PHOTOS" is not available. Using "Pictures" folder instead.  Please can someone help me

Since updating LR to 14.0.1 and Mac OS to 15.1 - i've had hanging/ crash and performances issues when working with LR wit the message of your system has run out of memory.,   Here's my set up  Apple Mac Studio - M1 Ultra  64GB RAM   Activity monitor is saying its using 150 GB of RAM ! Should only be a max of 5GB- What's going on ADOBE?

I have an issue when using LR Classic on my MacBook Air, in that when I first open LR, it works fine. But as I continue using, each click of the mouse brings up the spinning circle for several seconds, then even longer.    Then eventually, my entire laptop freezes with a message that I am using too much memory & I have to Force Quit LR.LR is version 14.0.1.   Computer is Somoma 14.5,  8 GB memory, 250 GB free storage space.   Activity Monitor showing approx 37 % cpu usage as LR is open but sitting idle.  (DOing nothing, it just jumoed up to 53% usage)   Showing 28 GB memory.  THe only item that shows more cpu usage is "kernal task" whatever that is. THe program is just very difficult to use this way.  I haven't even gotten to download Photoshop yet considering how much of a hog (?) LR C is.  

I read that Adobe had finally made the updates so I could tether with my Nikon Z9 using Lightroom, so I tried it for the first time last week and found it to be incredibly unreliable. It literally disconnected every 1-2 frames and then I'd have to wait for it to find the connected camera before I could shoot again.  I'd then take 1-2 frames and go throiugh it all over again. I'm using a Macbook Pro M1 and a Tether Tools cord. Any siuggestions or fixes for this issue? 

I finally cured the extreme slowness of Lightroom a week ago with a driver update for my graphics card and a windows tweak and then suddenly, lightroom started asking me to sign in *every* time I started it up. Then after entering my email/password, it would say that it could not verify my subscription status. This was even though I was signed into my Adobe account at the same time in a windows edge brower session. What the heck?If I would reboot and try again, then it seemed to let me sign in successfully. Possible related is I have a 4th hard drive that seems to go offline but I am not using it within LR. Another issue - which I have tried many times to fix - is that whenever I click "help " in either LR or PS, it *always* says that I appear to be in the wrong country and then I have to manually select Canada and *then* English. Usually by that time, the context-sesitive help has no clue what I was asking for help with and sends me to some generic page. Useless really. Is there a way

Bonjour, Suite à la dernière mise à jour de Lightroom 14.0.1 le logiciel s'ouvre systématiquement sur la même sélection photo passée. Mais auparavant, ce qui me faisait gagner du temps, c'est que Lightroom s'ouvrait sur ma dernière action (dernier affichage de la photothèque, dernier développement…) et je pouvais ainsi poursuivre sur ma lancée. Comment retrouver cet affichage de la dernière action entreprise au moment de la dernière fermeture du logiciel lors d'une nouvelle ouverture ? Je ne trouve pas comment faire dans les onglets de paramétrages. Je sais que j'ai déjà eu à faire cette manipulation au niveau des préférences lors d'une autre mise à jour… mais je l'ai oublié ! Merci de votre aide 😉Aurélien.

Es wurde versehentlich Lightroom Classic auf meinem Windows Rechner gelöscht. Danach wurde aus einer externen Backupspeicherplatte Lightroom wieder hergestellt. Jetzt erscheint beim öffnen der Datei folgender Text auf dem Bildschirm: „Lightroom Catalog.Ircat-data“ konnte nicht gefunden werden.In „Lightroom Catalog.Ircat-data“ fehlt die zugehörige Ircat-Datendatei, die Daten für KI-basierte Bearbeitung enthölt, Diese fehlt möglicherweise, wenn die Katalogdateien verschoben oder umbenannt wurden. Vergewissere dich, dass die Namen der Ircat- und Ircat-Datendateien übereinstimmen und sich am selben Speicherort befinden.Wenn du fortfährst, wird der Katalog geöffnet, aber all vorhandenen KI-Bearbeitungen werden ungültig. Die hier genannten Dateien sind jedoch unter dem Pfad Laufwerk D/Bilder/Lightroom gespeichert, siehe Anhang.Wie kann ich meine Daten in Lightroom Classic mit all seinen Bearbeitungen und KI-Bearbeitungen wieder herstellen?Wäre sehr dankbar für Eure Unterstützung.&n

LR doesnt remember custom sorting order in Grid mode in between sessions   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

I have three images selected in the Library Loupe view.  As I use the keyboard arrows to move from image to image the location of the displayed crop of the image moves around.  One of the images is wildly off from the other two.  The images are approximately the same size crop of an original, but not exactly. I'm doing this to compare the detail of a feature in three different processes of the image. What is the expected behaviour in this case?  Thanks,Chris

Hi guys, I was wondering if someone here could help me with this mini headache. I have an issue that when I edit photos fromlightroom classic on photoshop cc and saved back, the previews on Lightroom cc mobile doesn't update. On LR classic they are fine, but not on mobile. To make it more clear, this is my workflow: upload photos to Lightroom classic > creat collections and sync (with smart previews)  to Lightroom CC / mobile > on Lightroom classic I do "edit image in photoshop 2020" > finished editing on PS 2020 and saved back.  On lightroom classic the previews are updated nicely, however on Lightroom CC mobile the new previews doesn't update. The old one remains. I have tried to delete smart preview and then creat them again via library but nothing. the only work around it's to delete the collection (or sync) > delete smart previews > creat smart previews > creat collection and sync over and over again everytime I edit in pho

Hello Friends, Nothing happens except for photoshop launching unless I already have it open when I try to edit in PS from Lightroom Classic. I have tried as many suggested fixes as I can find. Deleting preferences, uninstalling and reinstalling both PS and LR. I still can't get it to function properly. Very frustrating as I do most of my editing in LR and only use photoshop for cloning etc. I am current in my operating system on a 2017 I Mac with plenty of power and all the goodies needed to run the programs. According to creative cloud, all of my applications are up to date.Has anyone had any success with solving this problem? Thank you in advance for your help.
