Lightroom Classic

Hello, I'm a Lightroom Classic (14.1.1) user on a Mac (Sequoia 15.2).  My primary library is currently on an external RAID configured (1+0) SSD hard drive.  This drive is currently FULL and I have a new drive (same configuration, just larger).  I have followed the instructions on how to move libraries within LRC.  However, it is so SLOOOOOOOOOwwwwwwwww.  At this rate, it will take aproximately two weeks to transfer it all over.  Is there a faster way to accomplish this without losing my flags or adjustments?If I were to just use Finder (in Apple OS), transfer my images over to the new drive and get LRC to find the new location, would the flags or adjustments be still there? Thank you in advance.

I am currently using LR Classic on my Mac desktop  (with the latest OS)I intend to sync my LRCat file and photos to Icloud. Changes are then made on my LRCat file on my computer. Once syncing is completed, will those changes in my LRCat file (on my desktop) be reflected when I open up LR Classic on my laptop? (ie will the change in my LRCat file be sybc across my various devices?)  Thank you for your help.

Dear Users, can you help or give me some advice what to do with Lighrtoom Classic slowing down throughout the process of editing photos, so much that it's becoming impossible to use. I have a computer well fit for graphic work (iMac 4.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 Processor, Radeon Pro 570 4 GB, memory - 64 GB 2400 MHz DDR4, Ventura 13.7.1 OS). While editing photos, LC runs quite well for the first 15 mins or so, but then - especially when I'm using masks, lens blur or a remove tool - the computer fan gets really loud and the program slows down, up to a point when I have to wait 10 or 15 secs for any move to be implemented. It becomes impossible to precisely use almost any of the tools... I'm forced to quit fork for 10 mins or so, so that the app recovers and starts working again. But then the slow-down story repeats again. My friend adviced me to increase the cache to 40 GB (in the LC settings), which I did. Didn't help. Runs well for the first 15 mins or so, then gets loud, slows dow

Hi, Masks in Lightroom Classic are not working.Is this a known issue?Images attached.Dutch version. How to solve the problem. Any ideas? Best RegardsReina  

A weird new behavior bagan recently after rebuilding a laptop. I process Lightroom images on a Windows 11 desktop but the laptop is on the same network/logon. But since rebuilding the laptop I get this behavior: While working in Lightroom on the desktop computer, Lightroom is purging preview files and placing them in the Windows Recyle bin, but in the laptop's garbage, not the workstation's. Furthermore, I can't explain the numbers. This morning, for example, I worked on roughly a dozen images on the workstation, but then had 139 preview images in the laptop's garbage. I've been using Lightroom heavily for five years but I do not understand this sudden new behavior. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for insights. Lightroom v. 14.1.1Windows 11 (current with updates)Expected result:  purge preview files "every 30 days"

J'utilise lightroom 6.0. J'ouvre une collection dans le module  bibliothèque . Je vois toutes mes photos mais, lorsque je veux utiliser la fonction "développement", la mention "le dossier est introuvable" m'apparaît!Comment puis-je trouver le dossier? Comment puis-je le mettre dans le bon catalogue? Merci pour votre aide. Louis 

Hello im having trouble using lightroom at the point where it's unusable and the workflow becomes very laggy and i can't work like this it drives me crazy.   The requirements are there i dont know if im the only one with this but it needs to be fixed somehow  

According to the Lightroom Classic sync FAQ there should be an entry called From Lightroom under Collections in Lightroom Classic. I'm expecting it to provide access to all the photos I have in Lightroom (cloud). But many minutes after enabling sync and allowing it to complete, and having restarted Lightroom Classic, this From Lightroom collection has yet to appear. Why could this be?

As the attached screenshot shows, there are errors in downloading. When I right click the path, it pop up "Remove from cloud". Should I do it? There are 679 errors. Any shortcut action for removing them? Please help.

Dear Forum, My Lightroom Classic CC has ceased to export my photos.When I've finished editing, I click on Export in the Library module, the interface window pops up and I choose the details of my export.When I click export, the window disappears and... that's it. No progress bar at the top left of the screen. Nothing.Can anyone help me? Please?Thanks,Neil

I upgraded to  LRC 14.1.1 and after I make 1 or 2 or masks (not specific to selecting subject or sky or background) the mask overlay will not show up and the Overlay check box does not allow you to turn it on.  The check mark disappears as soon as you click the box.It comes back if I restart lightroom but it comes back again after creating a few masks.Anyone have this same issue or have a solution?Using Macbook pro 16 M1 MaxSonomo 14.3.1  

Hello comminity. Please help me to solve the problem with AI recognition in Lightroom CC when i start developing my photoes and i wanna use the mask with the AI people recognition tool - it can't find any people on it. but the picture is clear with 1 person on it and blank background. if i try to use a mask with Sky AI recognition - the system makes some changes and works. the problem is with exactly people recognition.... Thanks in advance.

Porque no importa la totalidad de las fotos de una carpeta?Hay límite en la cantidad de Archivos?

1.When finding something is wrong. Before the update it took 1 hour and now it takes 2 hours. It uses less than 50% of the hardware performance. Why can't it work on 2 images at the same time with an offset of ½ image to fully utilize the computing power of the PC?I7 - 14700 KF + RTX 3090 - 24 GB - and it walks like I'm riding a donkey.2.There is no option to find and sharpen in one step.3.Either I desharpen or sometimes it allows sharpening. Why only sometimes when I use the same RAW?4.Orginal photo filter - does not work. Photos after de-noise are treated as original. Filters do not work!!! original files are not marked.5.I mark all photos de-noise, After finding some photos are not de-noised . Some are grouped as one photo, some are as separate photos!6.When creating a panorama, the program automatically makes a panorama without going into the selection window: Spherical, Cylindrical, Perspective. After merging, very distorted images come out.7.Loads sidebars several seconds?8.Somet

"Files are on a volume that does not support trash" shows up as an error in Windows 11 when deleting items stored on my NAS (Synlology). It seems that this issue is similar to what has been described for Mac users for many years now, still without a fix. 

To speed up the Lightroom denoise feature I bought a Geforce RTX 3060 but Lightroom Classic kept crashing.The reason: I did connect the DisplayPort cable to the motherboard with an onboard Intel GPU instead to the graphics adapter. After connnecting the monitor directly with graphics card, no more crashes! Anyway - it seems extremely unlikely that someone else made such a mistake! 

Not sure why but out of nowhere when I right click on a .tif file in Lightroom Classic and goto Edit in > Edit in Photoshop 2025, Lightroom Classic becomes unresponsive to the point I have to force quit.  I can use the edit in photoshop for .ARW and .DNG files with no issue.  But when I try to edit a .tif, Photoshop does not open and Lightroom becomes unresponsive. The weird thing is that I have been using the "Edit in photoshop 2025" feature for .tif files regularly in my workflow, and it was working fine yesterday and then out of nowhere later in the evening it stopped working. Both Lightroom and Photoshop are updated. Lightroom Classic version 14.1.1.  Photoshop 2025 version 26.2 I tried:restarting both lightroom and the PCchecked file and folder permissionsdisabling pluginstesting .tif files in a new catalogchecked my file handling settings and external editing settingscleared cache in Lightroomdisabling GPU acceleration as well as making sure my GP

Bonjour, Je cherche à sélectionner dans une série de photos uniquement celles que j'ai traité. Est-ce possible ?

When applying the masling tool to a subject, and the mask need some adjustment by adding or subtracting using a brush for example. The 'add' and 'subtract' button does not work. this never used to happen before. is this a fault with the new upgrade?   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

Hello and sorry for my english level,Wich product of Adobe can auto-tagging pictures/photos with the help of A.I. ( Adobe Sensei ) exactly like in this almost 3 years old demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytv6t6DhwsoI want something who work exactly like at: 01:50" and at: 05:00" in the video above.With my research it looks like none of  the actuals Adobe Lr, LrC or Br implement an Auto-Tagging tool who work like this.Can u confirm me it or disprove it ? ( else wich ones )Thanks by advance...

Hi! When I try to import photos into LRC, the "importing files..." text shows up, however, the photos never come in, and after a click around LR crashes. I've uninstalled and reinstalled. Not sure what else to do. Thank you. 

I downloaded the most recent version of Lightroom Classic and the ICON appears on my desktop, but will not open when I try to open it. 

So I've checked several threads and I couldn't find any fix for my issue, it's really bugging me because I just can't use Lightroom (Cloud), I hate it. Basically, the program runs like ass, the menus are slow, going from Library to Develop takes a whole 10 seconds (which may not seem like a lot but it's a very noticeable delay), every time I switch photos it takes like 3 seconds, and every time I flag a photo (rejected for example), it takes like 4 seconds.I already tried *everything*, I configured the program for full GPU usage, I run the program with high process priority, I purged the camera raw cache and gave it a bigger size (even though I don't use Camera Raw or photoshop), I optimized the catalog, and I even reinstalled the program.Nothing gets rid of these performance issues, and the icing on the cake is that my Laptop (An Asus VivoBook) does *not* have these issues.These are my Specs:Ryzen 9 3900XRTX 4070 Ti Super 16GB32GB of DDR4 RAM1TB NVMe for the OS (and where Lightro

I have noticed that when I take a photograph at a specific f-setting that this is not reflected in LcR.  For example a shot taken at  f2.8 showed in LcR at f8.  In case I made a mistake I took a test shot at f2.8 and in LcR it changed to f3.4.  Is there a logical explanation for this? Thanks William
