Lightroom Classic

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

I have been using Lr classic on a PC for nearly a year and I use drag and drop to move files between folders - this worked well until yesterday when the function almost stopped. It now takes a very long time to move any files from one folder to another. I am not aware that I have changed any settings although it is possible as I still have a lot to learn about how to use Lightroom. Any suggestions as to why this is occurring and how I can speed it up again, thanks?

LrC 14.1.1Curve corrections for the mask are not applied when exporting a photo if the mask contains more than one element.Haven't checked all the correction tools for masks, but it seems like the problem only occurs with curves.Can anyone confirm this bug?

I'm not able to import from my Olympus OM-D5 m3 camera into lightroom classic. The photos load into the import screen OK, but then lightroom crashes and I have to close it. I am able to import from my camera into the Olympus Workspace app. From there I can import into LR Classic. I believe this began happening after the latest lightroom update. I've tried rebuilding the catalog and creating a new catalog. There are other fixes I've tried but nothing has worked for me so far My System is:Windows 11 HomeIntel Ultra9 2.3GHzRam 32 GNvidia GeForce RTX 4050 GPUHere's the settings from lightroom: Lightroom Classic version: 14.1.1 [ 202412150940-551fb044 ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: enOperating system: Windows 11 - Home Premium EditionVersion: 11.0.22631Application architecture: x64System architecture: x64Logical processor count: 22Processor speed: 3.0GHzSqLite Version: 3.36.0CPU Utilisation: 0.0%Power Source: BatteryBuilt-in memory: 32373.3 MBDedicated GPU memory used b

I currently have my Lightroom folders on and OWC 4M drive. This is 4x 4TB NVME drives set up as two raid 1. In total I have 2x4tb drive space mirrored as back up to 2x4tb nvmes. I thought 8TB would last a long time but, of course it doesn't. I have purchased an OWC Thuderbolt 4 housing with 4 x18TB HD drives set up as at RAID 5 for a total of 54TB drive space with one disk redundancy. My plan is to: 1. Transfer my Libraries from the NVME drives to the Raid 5 54TB drive.2. Reinitialize the 4x4TB NVME drives as a raid 0, 16TB drive- Giving me more space.3. Transfer the libraries back to the 16TB raid 0 NVME drive to work from and use the larger raid 5 HD drive as back up. Succinctly, can anyone tell me how to do this effeciently and safely?  DO I: 1. Drag the libraries within lightroom to the new drive.2. veryify that LR can see them and they work.3. Reinitilize the NVME as a raid 0, 16TB drive.4. Enter lightroom and drag them back to that drive? Thank

Cloud Storage Full - I’ve deleted everything including deleted folder on all devices yet Cloud Storage shows 48.9 GB used. I checked Lightroom on my iPhone, iPad and Mac and lightroom classic on my Mac. What could be there?

Ever since I upgraded to Lightroom Classic 13.4 I'm having several issues.  The most annoying is when I try to delete a photo.  When I right-click in a photo and then click on "remove photo"  an option would appear  to "Remove from Lightroom" or "Delete from disc".  The same thing would occur when I used the keys Command/Option/Shift/Delete - the option to remove or delete would show up.  Upon clicking an option  It would then "remove and trash photo" or "remove from Lightroom" (depending on which option I chose).  Now when I try to delete (using either method) I get a long pause while it says "gathering information" at the top left.  This takes 30 seconds to a minute before the option to "remove from Lightroom" or "delete from disk" box comes up.  This is really frustrating and  taking up way too much of my time.  Sometimes the pause will go away if  close down Lightroom and reopen it but sometimes not.  In addition

Hello, i need DELETE all my SYNCED data. Ok.. but where is the option to do that? In LR Classic , at preferences, you can see a button to do tht but when you clk it, LR send you to LR web page... and there, nothing.... ( or i miss it ). I go to Adobe homepage , at account profile and dont find it too. I dont want do it manualy...  thank you very much.

Hice un upgrade de mi sistema operativo a 15.2 (24C101) y no encuentro mi disco de Creative Cloud donde tenía archivos, trabajos y fotos junto a los archivos maestros de Lightroom. Llevo días tratando de entender dónde puedo descargar ese disco y recuperar mis archivos.

The obvious way the "lock" on aspect ratio in the crop toiol should work is that it STAYS locked on the selected aspect ratio until the user unlocks it, regardless of the images you're editing. No, you shouldn't need to sync it across other photos.The crop tool has NEVER worked correctly, and I've used every version of Lightroom. As far as I can tell, the lock means nothing and has no predictable behavior other then to reset itself when you need it to stay the same.   Has anybody found a workaround for this, since Adobe has a different idea of what a lock is than the popular definition?

Hi,I have Lightroom 6 since many years and a Nikon D7500 since many years too. With Windows 10, everything was ok and Lightroom open my raw. Windows 10 is dead and I have now Windows 11. So I have to reinstall Lightroom 6 on my PC. Since that, I have this message "The file is not recognized by Lightroom's raw format support." Usually this message appear when you change  camera but I have a Nikon D7500 since many years. Why it was OK with Windows 10 and not with Windows 11 with the same camera? I try the offline activation and nothing change. I have the same problem.Ciao, Diane

I have 200 images.  The first image is cropped to a custom aspect ratio and locked.  The crop is then synced to all other images.  All good so far.But when I open any other image in edit mode, and attempt to change the size of the crop (eg. by dragging a side), the crop ratio immediately changes and the custom crop is lost.  This is very frustrating problem as I am unable to apply a custom aspect ratio and make size adjustments.  Is this normal in LR?

Bonjour,Dans le module développement je n'ai plus accès aux paramètres prédéfinis de base de LRC NB Couleur crés par LRC lors de l'installation. Je suis sous Windows 11.J'importe mes photos ( format RAW) avec un profil Adobe neutre.Si quelqu'un à une idée pour les réinstaller, je suis preneur.Bonne journée.Louis

I pretty much never use LR's hdr merge function. I shoot a lot of bracketed images and it's just too clunky to work with lots of bracketed shots in LR. But occasionally I just have 1 or 2 sets of brackets. And once in a while I'll let LR take a crack at merging them. And everything time it does it seems completely useless to me. Because to my eyes, the merged image looks almost exactly the same as the middle bracketed shot. Maybe the highlights are just slightly turned down, or shadows turned up just a tiny bit. But it's such a small difference that it's useless. I always use a 3rd party HDR app. Is the HDR functionality in LR just completely useless? Or am I doing something wrong?

Ever since LrC update in September of 2024 I have had nothing but issues, specifically with collections. I use collections to organize mt photo shoots so this is a giant pain. I import my photos using copy, I can create collection sets just fine, but when I go to create a collection I hit the "+" button and click create collection and nothing happens. No new dialogue opens, no error message, nothing. The same thing happens when I try and rate a photo, nothing happens. Then finally if I try and export my photos I get the error sound and it tells me the photos do not exist. You can see in the video below I can't rate the photos or create a collection, yet when I hit show in finder it finds the images fine. Then the cherry on top when I go to export it does nothing.

Wenn die "Verbessern" Option für ein Foto ausgewählt wird, erscheint ein neues Fenster mit dem Hinweis"Optimierungsdaten werden geladen ..."Dieser Ladevorgang dauert im Schnitt 26 Minuten. Hier scheint ein Softwarefehler vorzuliegen, da der eigentliche Optimierungsprozess noch nicht begonnen hat, sondern nur das Laden der notwendigen KI-Daten. Der eigentliche Entrauschungsvorgang geht wesentlich schneller. Ich verwende Lightroom Classic unter Windows 11 Home. 

It just started yesterday after my xmas break, so I don't know when it actually started. Since nothing else has chaged, no new programs installed etc, it seems like a update has been made to LrC. Graphics drivers updated to latest studio release. Even disabled GPU to no avail. Anyone else have this severe problems with the 14-release? Please help!!PS.There is a 21 gig crash dump from yesterday and one from december that I had to remove to not just have 20 megs of space on my os disk. They seem not to be removed but to lie ther indefinitely, just eating up space on the disk.Located at C:\Users\[user_name]]\AppData\LocalLow\Adobe\CRLogs\dumpsDS.The system info: Lightroom Classic version: 14.0.1 [ 202410161356-30922cfc ] License: Creative Cloud Language setting: en Operating system: Windows 10 - Home Premium Edition Version: 10.0.19045 Application architecture: x64 System architecture: x64 Logical processor count: 16 Processor speed: 3,5GHz SqLite Version: 3.36.0 CPU Utilisation: 6,0

I use rcTreesync and jfCollectionPublisher. And it's driving me nuts that a missing photo just drives a publish error message  'Can I use the smart preview' without telling me which publish collection or image is missing. I have hundreds of collections which I then have to scroll through, wait for LR to work out what it's republishing (all of it every time), and then scroll down to the the bottom to look for items for deletion.  Does anyone have a workaround.? With treesync there is a log but you have to wait for the whole publish to finish before you can start messing around. Not sure what I'm looking for in jf's logs. Any hints? Anyone got a workaround that changes the LR error message in their toolbox or any other ways to pin this down better?

I'm on 13.0.1 and I no longer seem to be able to import photos from another catalog.When I select a catalog to import, a dialog pops up saying: "Lightroom cannot import from this catalog. The catalog does not appear to be a valid Lightroom catalog." This happens with basically every catalog I've tried, even a catalog with a single image. I searched around and it seems that many people have had similar problems in the past with this feature, but this is the first time I've encountered it. I have used it successfully in the past, although not on version 13.0.1.

Lightroom Classic uses the content disk excessively the first couple of minutes when starting up. It seems to look for images. This causes the program to be unresponsive and unusable for several minutes after starting it. How to reproduce:Start Task Manager and note the disk usage. Start Lightroom Classic (I use an old school hard drive, not SSD, and most images except for the last two years are in the catalog are not present).Expected result:The disk usage should be within acceptable levels and the program responsive.Actual result:The disk goes up to 100% usage for several minutes, causing unresponsiveness for several minutes. Selecting any other image than the one displayed since last last session does not work. The import function does work, but trying to edit any images is impossible.
