Lightroom Classic

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.

In Develop module when I try and zoom in to edit a small section of the image the photo enlarges a litle bit then goes black and I have to zoom out to see the image again. This happens regardles of what is selected in terms of  enlarging from image size Fit, Fill, or 66% etc etc    Using MB2 with latest Apple and LR version downloaded ...please advise how to fix this?   Thanks      [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

When I import photos into Lightroom Classic 14.0.1, RAW files from a shoot, and create Smart Previews, corresponding DNG files are generated in the *smart previews.lrdata catalog. If I copy these DNG files to an iPhone, some of them display strangely — contrast is lost, and strange color tinting appears. I am attaching 2 RAW files and their corresponding DNG files, where one displays correctly, but the other does not.https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1yv8R3-vFUsO2vw05HgfVPLPgaCnAxmfJ?usp=sharing   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

I am running Lightroom Classic (14.0.1) on an M1 iMac. I'm trying to screen mirror to an M1 MacBook Air. Both computers run Sequoia 15.1.1. My Lightroom files all sit on the iMac.I can set up the screen mirroring but Lightroom Classic doesn't seem to play ball. For example in Library mode with a Grid View I want to show the selected individual image in a Secondary display on the MacBook Air. In that way I can be viewing the Grid on one screen but see an individual image  in detail on the other.But Lightroom resolutely will only appear on one screen at a time. Is this just a feature of Lightroom and I'm asking the impossible, or is it a bug, or am I not going about it the right way? Mike  

So I have Canon and Nikon cameras and AI denoise works fine on their RAW files but I also have the DJI AIR 3 drone that when I try to use AI denoise on it's DNG files it doesn't denoise at all, instead it just sharpens the existed noise.Is there hope?

To free up space on my internal drive, I all of my international travel folders to an external drive.  This was quite a while ago and I've never had any problems accessing themBut today (several upgrades to LRC later), I tried to move another folder on my internal and could not.I should be able to drag/drop....yes?When I do that, I'm unable to drop it on the drive name OR as a new folder on that drive.So, I created a folder on the external (outside of LR) with the same folder name figuring I'd drag/drop all of the subfolders into that one.  But that new folder isn't showing up on as a folder in LR.I'm stuck. I can think of some workarounds, but this SHOULD work.  And, since I'm told repeatedly to organize my photo files from inside of LRC, that's what I'm tryin' to do!

Hi,  yesterday I build a new Workstation PC, to replace my old System. Hardware is as follows: MoBo: Asus Prime B650-Plus CPU: AMD Ryzen 9900x 4,4Ghz 12-CoreRAM: Corsair 64GB (2x32) 6000MhzStorage: WD 4TB NVME SN850xGPU: Asus Prime 4070 Ti Super OS: Win 11 Pro, 24H2 basically, LR has more than enough resources to work with.  Now heres the thing, Lightroom starts up as fast as expected, and when I am in the editing module its also fast. But, when I click on the Import Button, it gets stuck. I get that round-blue-spinny-circle thingy as a cursor (similar to the rainbow thingy on mac), and its just stuck. And its not like its running out of resources, Task Manager shows no crazy use of anything. Its just like Lightroom doesnt want to open the Import Panel, or does not know how to?  Sometimes, after a few minutes, I either get a "Lightroom is not Responding" Pop-Up, or sometimes it works, until I click on lets say the ca

I'm working on a new MacBook Pro and trying to create an Import preset so that file copies get written to an external SanDisk SSD. On starting the import, LrC recognizes the folder, but when executing the import I get a message "The files could not be copied to the backup location." I checked the SanDisk and saw the file had not been copied. To ensure that there wasn't a SanDisk failure, I copied another file from my desktop computer into the same folder and was able to find it with Mac Finder.  Not sure what to do next.

TLDR; when mac loses local network access, lightroom keeps trying to build previews until it hits 120gb of application memory and crashes.    If usung remote storage of photos, and the os drops the network mount lightroom classic keeps trying to build previews without warning.    Something leaks and consumes between 120 and 130gb of application memory.    Network drops for Mac not Windows.  Drops every 5 mins or randomly  New Mac m4 pro, was migrating from Windows,  maybe I'll go back to Windows...   [moved from bugs to discussion according to the community rules - Mod.]

Hi guys,I usually work on adjustments on a virtual copy - or several, and when I am satisfied I transfer the adjustments to the original image via "Sync Settings" or "Previous". Neither seem to work and no adjustments are transferred between images.  This is what happens: "Sync Settings" blinks and stops without effecting any changes; same with  "Previous" but a message flashes on the screen for a fracrion of a second - I was able to decipher "Your changes were pasted .... AI ...., etc" but it happens too fast to read intelligibly.  Seems like it's only happening to this one image. Any ideas? Thanks a lot.

Hello,Since the new update Lightroom classic 13.3, the script ExtractPreviews doesn't work. I have put the new ExtractPreviews.lua, but I have always the same message : "Failed to extrac or write the preview for x photos - this may be because no preview was available or an error occured while writing the preview to the destination".Have you a resolution ?Thanks'

Will LR 5.7.1 run on Windows 11?

Hi , I hope someone can help . I went looking for my missing files in Lightroom and it was a zip file on my Mac . Because it wouldn't let me click on the  zip file , I opened it and whatever it asked me I said yes ! I went back to Lightroom and now all my folders are blank and I thought I'd maybe go and import the images again from my file cards and it won't let me import anything either . it's like my whole Lightroom has grinded to a halt . I've restarted my Mac but it didn't help . I'm freaking out - can someone please help me ! Thankyou so much 

I updated Lightroom Classic to 4.0.1. Every 20-30 minutes the up and down keys gets stuck on temperature (cold/warm)? I can't hover over any adjustment (exposure, contrast etc) to change it with the arrows on my keyboard. When I use the arrows on my keyboard it just adjusts the temperature. I have to optimise my catalog each time to fix it   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

Hello Adobe Community,I'm experiencing a frustrating issue with Adobe Lightroom Classic on my new laptop. After about 1.5 minutes of working in the program, Lightroom suddenly freezes completely. If I wait around 1.5 minutes, the program starts working again as normal, but the freezing continues to happen intermittently.Here’s a summary of my setup and the troubleshooting steps I’ve already taken:Laptop: Only a few months old, with specifications that meet and even exceed Lightroom Classic’s requirements.Software and Drivers: All drivers, including the GPU drivers, are fully up to date.Troubleshooting steps tried:Reinstalled Lightroom Classic multiple times.Checked system resources, and everything seems to be performing as expected.Adjusted preferences in Lightroom and cleared the cache.Despite all of this, the freezing issue persists, making it very difficult to work on my projects.Has anyone else experienced this, or does anyone have suggestions on how to resolve this issue? I would

Bonjour,J'ai la version 12.3 de lightroom Classic, mon problème est au sujet du nouvel outil masquage. Les icônes sujet-ciel-arriere plan ne sont pas actives. Lightroom ne détecte pas les personnes sur les photos. Je peux seulement utiliser les outils de base pinceau, dégradé ... mais pas avec les nouvelles fonctionalités. Quelqu'un aurait il une idée pour resoudre le problème ?Merci d'avance

When running Lightroom Classic the iMac says it is running out of application memory.  My 2TB drive has 400GB available and my memory is 40.  It says LRC is using from 50 to 90 GB of application memory and forces a close down.  Am running on a 2017 iMac with 27" screen.  Can only update to Ventura.
