Lightroom Classic

I use Lightroom's versatile Print module to create a batch of slides for a show I'm preparing. If I use 'Print to file' and then select a folder it will give the folder name to each image and adds a number. Does anyone know of a way to keep the original filename?Thanks for looking.Pete Robinson.

I need to restore my Lightroom Classic catalog from backup. My most recent backup is 5 weeks out of date. I have maybe 800 photos that are not backed up. Once I restore the catalog, what is the best way to restore my most recent photo folders? Can I simply relink the non backed up folders that are on my hard drive or do I have to re import photos from the camera SD card? I would certainly prefer to just relink the folders if there are no disavantages to that. I'm on Mac OS. Thanks for any advice!

Often when I try to move photos to another folder, Lightroom tells me the photo is already there. I have checked to be sure that no other photo has the same name. Today I made a new folder and it told me the three photos I was moving to the empty folder were already there. This is very frustrating., 

Hi, I'm still using an old Late 2013 Macbook Pro with Big Sur (upgrading to a new laptop very soon), however my installed Lightroom Classic doens't work anymore since the Big Sur update. Then I downloaded LR 6.5 and agreed to migrate the catalogue. It said, that it had issues with 100.000 photos where the originals couldn't be found and that they couldn't be migrated. I'm confused by that since of course all the photos are on several external drives. I wanted LR to import my old folder structure with the links to the photos, it didn't import anything of that, obviously only the few photos that I had on the laptop directly about 2000. The old LR classic version doesn't open anymore under Big Sur. I do have a Time machine backup from before the Big Sur update. Help is very much appreciated!Thanks a lot!!Iris

je n'ai pas la possibilité d'utiliser la fonction flou de l'objectif celui ci n'étant pas actif comment faire ? 

I am creating one master catalog (I know...should have done it from the beginning) and as I am doing that, I have imported my Year folders into my master catalog.  I do have catalogs in some of the month folders as well.  When Lightroom Classic imports the year folder, will it also import the catalogs as well or just the folders?  How do I grab the edits I have done in the previous catalogs?  I appreciate your guidance and wisdom.Thanks,Chris

Wenn ich in Lightroom ein back up erstelle, wird der Ordner xxx.lrcat-data mit 0 kB erstellt.Das Restore des back ups führt zur Fehlermeldung: xxx.lrcat-data konnte nicht gefunden werden.Screenshot s. Anlage.Alte back ups kann ich ebenfalls nicht mehr öffnen.

Ik probeer mijn Lightroom Classic met Lightroom Cloud te verbinden. Het lukt mij om een Verzamelset aan te maken maar als ik dan een Verzameling in de verzamelset aan wil maken krijg geen optie synchroniseren met Lightroom cloud in beeld. Wat doe ik fout?

Hi there,I have been using Lightroom Classic on my iMac 2015 model for almost 9 years, and I have one catalog that has everything on it.I use an external drive that has both my catalogs and photos, and run Lightroom through that.Recently I took the hard drive to work, and used it to run Lightroom on a 2022 model Macbook Pro to finish off some freelance work during my lunch break. Back at home today, I tried to open my reglular catalog, but I got this message: The Lightroom catalog named “my catalog" cannot be opened because it is too new to be used by this version of Lightroom. Would you like to select a different catalog? With my iMac being old, I am unable to update to the latest version of Lightroom, which my work MacBook Pro uses, and I am guessing its updated the catalog to that. My questions are:• Is there anyway to roll back the catalog so I can use it on my older iMac?• If not, is there a way to salavge the catalog so I can use it on my older mac?There is ar

I tried searching for a lot of filenames at once (900) to match files on a client selection. I used the filter for filenames and after the search executes (which takes several minutes) a lot of Lightroom features don't function any more.  For example I can't develop or tag any more photos or move them to collections. It worked with similar large searches (650).   The input string which includes the file names is comma separated and over 9000 characters long.   The problem is, I cannot clear the search so the filename search is broken for me, since Lightroom restores the long search after a restart, so I cannot clean the search box, since the search executes after every restart.   Is there any workaround to clear the filename filter without executing the search (which crashes Lightroom partially)?     [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

Hi there!With the latest update I can't stack images, because there is no entry in the menu anymore. Already stacked images are unstacked now.Where can I find it? Thanks for your answers!

I've been having issues with Lightroom Classic all month. The latest issue: when I open my catalog all of my photos appear but only about 2/3 of them are edited. Lightroom lost the edits on photos I edited years ago. What's really wierd is it only some of them even if they were part of the same series/edited at the same time. I've tried creating a catalog from backups, creating a new catalog and importing from an existing, I've even tried exporting my catalog and trying it on another computer. Hoping someone out there has the answers before I go about re-editing almost 1,000 photos! Using a Windows 11 self built computer. Plenty of storage space on a brand new hard drive. This definitley doesn't appear to be a hardware issue. Any advice?

Porque cada vez que intento hacer una captura en simultaneo aparece este mensaje? Ya he probado borrando el caché, cambiando el lugar de almacenamiento y sigo sin poder trabajar. 

Lightroom Classic's AI denoise has a severe memory leak, causing crashes and extreme slow execution / unresponsiveness. The only way to get the memory usage down is to either wait until LRC crashes or try to close the application.How to reproduce:Open the task manager and note the current memory usage.Use AI denoise on a couple of imagesExpected result:The memory usage should go back to about the original usage after the AI denoise is doneActual result:The memory stays at a unhelthy level. The more images that are denoised, the higher the memory usage.

Hi everyone I need a bit of help with Lightroom versions and functionality as I'm a bit lost with it!Hopefully one of you nice people can help me with it. So, I have been running Lightroom 6, which i paid a one of licence for, since about 2012, and have always gotten on fine with it, but I always thought there was a better version with more features around which I thought was Lightroom cc or lightroom classic, are these the same? So this week I have been on the Adobe website and looked at the subscription packages available and signed up for the 20gb photography package on a free trial for 7 days. So now I go on my crative cloud homepage and it shows now i have lightroom classic v6.0, is this not what i already had?When I open it, it just seems to open my lightroom 6? I have copied the information from the system info below Am i being stupid here or am i going mad? Thanks for reading... Lightroom version: 6.14 [ 1149743 ]License: PerpetualLanguag

Ich möchte das obenstehende Paket für meinen neuen IMAC kaufen. Dazu habe ich die Testversion runtergeladen.Nun  sehe ich aber nirgends wie ich die versprochene Applikation (Lightroom classic Desktop) nutzen kann. Ich sehe bloss die normale "kleine" Version. Damit will ich nicht arbeiten. Ist das bei der Kaufversion anders oder wie muss ich das werten?gibt es eine entsprechende Einstellung, es sind ja angeblich beide Versionen möglich. Danke für Hilfe

I am having issues with my GPU and not being able to use masking. It seems to only be an issue when I'm editing a jpeg image not my RAW images. My driver is updated but after that, I'm not sure what to check.

My seetings keep getting reset when I navigate through photos. To revert this I have to go to history panel and go one step back. The current step is "multiple settings". There are also some other related to syncing, pasting issues but not so often and consistent as this particular one.

Let me start by saying that I keep Lightroom updated to the latest version, often within a week of release. (Maybe that's a mistake?)   As I develop a photograph, I'm very careful to create snapshots with clear labels.   For example, I always use the auto-generated date/timestamp, and add details like "Cropped" or "Healing" or "Masks."   When the processing is finalized, I add another snapshot labeled with "Final."   Later, when I create proof versions with various ICC profiles, I start with the "Final" version, make my proof edits, and then save new snapshot(s) with the auto-generated name of the ICC profile.   In theory, this works well.   However, sometimes I go back to an older photo and want to click on one of the snapshots, and find that it has lost its prior edits.   For example, I'll hover over the "Final" snapshot, and it's turned into some dull, dark, desaturated version of what "Final" used to be. That snapshot is different from the one bef

My current workflow is to sync Photos to LR Mobile.  Then LR Mobile syncs to LR Classic on my desktop.  I have a location where the photos are synced on an external HD,  Pictures 2024>Mobile Uploads>yyyy-mm-dd.   First, the sync doesn't start until I open LR Mobile.  Isn't there a way this can happen without me having to open LR Mobile? I got a message saying my Cloud storage was getting full.  I realized that the photos being synced are also being stored on Cloud storage.  So will my workflow have to change to cleanup the Cloud Storage periodically? Is there a way to bypass the photos being stored on the Cloud?  I also want to confirm that when I delete photos in the Cloud that they will not cause some sync to delete the photos that were stored on my external HD. 

Does Lightroom have new file size restrictions?  I received this message when compositing images.  I have been doing this for years and have never gotten this message.  I'm quite sure this is not the biggest file I have ever composited in Lightroom.  I'm not sure as a practical matter if this is an issue as I'm editing the image in Photoshop and the final file willl be a PSB.  Thanks for any thoughts.    

No estoy pudiendo importar mis presets, cada vez que los quiero sumar me dice "estos ajustes ya han sido importados" pero nunca me aparece nada, incluso si los sumo desde la carpeta de develop presets de lightroom tampoco me aparecen, necesito una solución urgente!   [moved from bugs to discussion according to the community rules - Mod.]

Recently, I had been stitching a lot of 16MP photos into HDR and the resulting HDR photos into panoramas (by using LR Classic Merge in the background - ctrl-shift-H and M, since Adobe Camera Raw doesn't allow background merges, even though without any BATCH processing option, this is still a major PITA).Since there was a lot of the merges queued, my start-up disk almost completely filled up even though I had almost 30GB free on the SSD. I have dedicated SSDs in RAID just for scratch files and working with video, these are much faster than the start-up SSD (256GB) and had ample space. Is there any way to tell LR to use only those for scratch files? Mind you, these were not previews getting generated, the space immediately got reclaimed when I quit LR, these were just temp files or maybe system memory (got 32GB which is not so big nowadays I admit) getting swapped to disk.Still, inside Photoshop I can at least assign scratch disk to specific drives, which does work when merging big panor

hi, very unfortunately I've updated on the weekend LRC from 13.x to 14.0.1. Since the upgrade I'm no longer able to import pictures into the katalog. (pictures already on the harddisk). When selecting a single digit number of pictures it could happen that they get loaded. but if I select a couple of directories with in total ~50 pic the system comes to a hold. the Task picture import is starting but no progress.When I cancel the tasks a dialog box is coming up which says something like "no pictures found to import".When closing LRC I'm no longer able to restart it. When looking to the MS task manager than it is full of Adobe tasks running.My PC is running on MS Windows 10 home - most current versionOnly when rebooting the machine I'm able again to launch LRC. I can work with it. the catalog has been migrated but if I try to import picture the problem happens again.... So it is reproducable unfortunately.Thanks for any good idea how to overcome the problem. I would wish I could go
