Lightroom Classic

When culling I'll do a pass of selects and refine selection. Afterwards when I notice some photos are flagged when others aren’t, often after going through a ways, meaning I have to make sure that everything has been unselected and start over.I’ve already turned off that horrid AI culling feature but there is still some random selection going on. 

This does not help.  LR continues to apply presets.  I also changed the Develop  Setting field to None in the Apply During Import panel.  It still makes changes to my photos when I import.

I recently factory reset both my computer + lightroom classic because of some annoying bugs i was dealing with. Before i reset everything, i was sure to export my presets like normal and store those on my external hard drive to keep them from getting deleted during the reset. Now that I am ready to go back in and edit, i’ve tried to import my presets like i always do with no problem. However, only a small fraction of the presets I exported are showing up. They are all in the zip file, so I know they exist. They’re just not showing up for me to edit with, which is incredibly frustrating. I feel like i’ve tried just about every fix i’ve seen online to no avail. please help!!! :,))))

I have serious problems with Lightroom, I can't edit, I can't even upload photos properly and the program crashes.

Hello!I’m currently with the latest Lightroom Classic, and a gallery with a ton of photos to cull and edit. I have two monitors. On my main monitor, I do the edits and see the photo full screen. On the left monitor, I browse the grid view, select, reject and set my filters to sort the photos.Now, I like to use some keyboard shorcuts, not many, but the main ones are the arrow keys to cycle through my photos. Sometimes, tough, they do not move through the photos.I found a simple workaround but this seems a bug of some sort.I pick the Windows task bar, and move back to Lightroom window. And the arrow keys are working again. After a while, maybe with some edits, or alt-tab, I still don’t know what triggers it not to work, they stop working. So I go back again to Windows task bar, and make Lightroom Classic active again.Altough this little workaround works, I would like to know if this is a known bug. I found other threads with similar issues, but they were very old and closed for answers (

I want to preface this by saying that Lightroom ran almost flawlessly before this update (v15.3). Windows 11. I have an AMD Ryzen 7 5800x 8-Core Processor with over 24GB of available memory. There’s no reason for this.  Literally what’s not an issue with this update? So far I’m seeing:can’t apply certain mask presets (whiten teeth, sharpen subject, etc) can’t denoise  way slower than usual (like slows my entire computer down) constant freezing tried turning off GPU support after someone recommended that after a previous update and it made it completely unusable selected multiple files for exporting and only 1/3 actually exported sometimes just refuses to export at all sometimes says inadequate disc space when there is more than enough  can’t open anything else while LR is open optimizing catalog now and it’s totally frozen had to hard reset my pc because not even task manager would come upI’m about to attempt uninstalling and reinstalling. If that doesn’t work, I’m probably going to sw

Im getting “unexpected error occurred while processing” when trying to sync a background mask to multiple canon raw .CR2 files from an EOS 5D MkIV, Nikon .NEF files seem unaffected by the issue. The “Previous” button also has the issue with the canon files. Lightroom Classic version: 15.3.1 [ 202605261338-e36f8566 ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: enOperating system: Windows 11 - Business EditionVersion: 11.0.26200Application architecture: x64System architecture: x64Logical processor count: 32Processor speed: 3.3GHzSqLite Version: 3.36.0Adobe GSDK Version: 1.4.0.213CPU Utilisation: 1.0%Power Source: Plugged InBuilt-in memory: 65456.5 MBDedicated GPU memory used by Lightroom: 725.6MB / 7995.0MB (9%)Real memory available to Lightroom: 65456.5 MBReal memory used by Lightroom: 15996.6 MB (24.4%)Virtual memory used by Lightroom: 20800.7 MBGDI objects count: 1529USER objects count: 4497Process handles count: 6641Memory cache size: 0.0MBInternal Camera Raw version: 18.3 [ 2530 ]Maximu

LRC becomes very slow, unresponsive, and laggy shortly after launching. This problem was discussed on the previous forum extensively, where many users from Mac and Windows platforms reported it. Apparently, there were several different causes for the problem, as some users were able to fix it by following diverse suggestions, which did not work for other users. I am one of the unlucky users who tried all suggested fixes and could not solve the problem or find its cause. Unfortunately, a couple of the threads were marked as Resolved (or Answered) and the discussions stopped. I have been trying every new version of LRC as they become available, but in my case the problem persists and actually becomes worse with versions 15.2 or the previous one, 15.1.1. So, I am back to version 15.1, which at least lets me work for about 30 minutes before the program becomes essentially  unresponsive. My question is, will this problem ever be fixed by Adobe? 

Hallo, ich erstelle für jede Hochzeit einen neuen Katalog und passe mir die Sammlung Vorgabe an:Finale Auswahl Zweite Auswahl SW-UmwandlungJetzt ist es ja so das bei jedem neuen Katalog von Lightroom eigene Vorgaben schon vorgegeben sind.Kann ich die Vorgabe so umschreiben das meine Vorgaben immer gleich geladen werden? Es wäre so entspannt wenn ich nicht jedesmal die alten vorgaben löschen muss um dann meine zu erstellen. Ich hoffe das jemand eine Lösung für mich hat 

I just cannot open it. I get the spinning wheel when I click to open, but the wheel disappears & never opens. 

Hello everyoneI clicked something, and now LRC is stuck in an unfamiliar screen. How do I get out of this????Thank you for your patience and help!John 

Je ne comprends pas. Depuis la mise à jour récente, Ligthroom a un comportement bizarre.Avez-vous la même impression ?Eg. : Synchronisation avec Photoshop poussive, Disposition des photos dans le module impression erratique, Mise à jour lors de la fermeture de Photoshop avec absence de prise en compte de calques, ...Sous Mac mini M4, 24 Go.

Hey everyone! First time posting so be kind ;) Been using LR for over a decade with no issues on an 11yo gen 3 i7. Perfect, never a problem Fresh new pc build with RTX 5070TI and LrC to move into the Ai world.I can go a week or two perfectly, then I get complete pc shutdown when trying to use AI Noise reduction. Studio Drivers installed.  I read that people have issues with this on the threads and stuff. Is it a stability issue with LrC? Do I move to cloud LR? Is it hardware? Is the AI just too new to be stable and this is life?  I’ve reinstalled LR, drivers, optimised catalogues, ensured there’s plenty of storage and ram etc. can’t seem to find the problem Open to suggestions, cause my tearing my hair out!

something has corrupted a LRC file   I can not delete the corrupt file and I can not open Lightroom because it says it is in use.  ????  help please    <removed for privacy>

Je suis habitué à travailler en mode connecté directement à partir de Lightroom Classic.J’utilise un Canon 5D Mark4.J’ai fait tous les tests et manipulations recommandées, mais rien n’y fait…J’ai cependant une piste : ce problème est apparu après mise à jour de mon MacOS. Je travaille maintenant avec macOS Tahoe (26.2). Je ne vois que cette explication…Avez-vous vu déjà ce cas ?I'm used to working in connected mode directly from Lightroom Classic.I use a Canon 5D Mark IV.I’ve tried all the recommended tests and troubleshooting steps, but nothing works…I do have one theory, though: this issue started after I updated my macOS. I’m now running macOS Tahoe (26.2). That’s the only explanation I can think of…Have you ever seen this happen before?

I have several catalogs. When I close one catalog and try to open another, the one I've selected doesn't open in Windows 11. I have to restart the PC. Does anyone have any ideas about this? Best regards, Thomy

I've searched in vain for a way to open Adobe Camera Raw from within Lightroom on my Nikon NEF RAW files. While I've read that ACR is built into Lightroom, I specifically want to use the new experimental "Distraction Removal->Remove Reflections" feature in ACR on a number of photos that I took out of a bus window in Cairo a few weeks ago. It works fantastically well.While I'm sure this feature will eventually be included in Lightroom, I want to use it now.  The only way I've been able to do it is to find the image in Windows Explorer and then choose "Open with Photoshop" , which brings up ACR. In Lightroom, "Edit in Photoshop 2025" doesn't enable the feature (I guess it's sending a TIFF or PSD) and "Open as Smart Object in Photoshop" and then choosing the Camera Raw filter doesn't enable the feature either -- says "wrong file type". Is there a .EXE for ACR that I can choose in Explorer, or add as a second "Edit in..." option in LIghtroom?  Or should I just wait for Li

I don’t know if it’s a bug or just something Adobe has to fix, but I am so utterly disappointed in the AI denoising feature in LrC.  What’s worse is that I’ve seen it evolve over time.  When you first implemented it, it was really inferior to other offerings.  Then it actually got good for awhile.  But now… it’s like it’s hallucinating and adding the wrong details to images.  If I turn it down, it doesn’t even denoise well.  As soon as I turn it up, it starts sharpening edges and adding weird swirls in facial hair.  It makes my pictures look like an AI generated cartoon.  I’ve been forced to go back to DxO Photolab to denoise stuff.  Not only that, but DxO can literally denoise a stack of 20 photos in the time it takes LrC to do one.  This is just unacceptable.  You can do better.  Please fix this ASAP.  

I worked with smart preview and used super resolution. This left obvious artifacts in form of grid.They do not go away when I have RAW available, I discarded smart preview, and even when I disable and re-enable super resolution for that file. (Without super resolution this grid is gone.)Artifacts are even visible in exports.These artifacts do not appear on very similar photo with same edits, but which was never edited as a smart preview. 

It is fantastic there is an option to create your own templates, but not everything is saved unfortunately. 

I managed to desync my folders from lightroom classic and have lost all my edits in progress, and edits made ready for export. Is there a way to restore this?

I’m done with this. With every single update, Lightroom becomes more of a mess. Now, out of nowhere, the brush tool and masking have completely stopped working. I can't get any work done.I have already tried all the standard "fixes":Toggling GPU acceleration on/off - no effect.Restarting macOS and Lightroom multiple times - no effect.Resetting preferences and clearing cache - still nothing.And don't even try to blame my hardware. I am running this on a Mac Studio M1 Max and a MacBook Pro 16 M1 Pro. The exact same issue occurs on both machines after working for a while. This isn't a hardware limitation; this is your buggy, unoptimized code.I posted about this exact problem months ago in this forum, and nothing has been fixed. You keep charging a monthly subscription fee, yet you fail to provide a stable environment for basic functions like masking. This is my last year with Adobe. I am officially looking for alternatives that actually work and don't waste my time and nerves.Fix your sof

I shoot with Sony a7v and Sigma 35mm 1.4 dg dn II. On may 22th 2026 I have updated  LrC and Camera Raw, which include the lens profile for this Sigma lens (verified archive .lcp into the folder lensprofile>>1.0).The Raw files taken with this lens edited in Lrc comes with “built in” profile, but when I try to change to custom and select Sigma 35mm 1.4 dg dn II (A026), it doesn’t show up, and when I select “auto” it selects a different lens.How can I solve this?thanks a lot,kind regards,Pablo 

I constantly have to tick 'photo comment ' away, it pops up at random or whenever you click on the photo frame. Does anyone else has this? 

There are some nice predesigned borders, but you cannot adjust the size or the position. Could that be made possible?
