Lightroom Classic

Creating a slideshow hangs while "Preparing preview".  It does not always hang at the same place.  Optimizing the catalog changes where it hangs, but does not resolve the problem.  There are 171 items in the collection.  A few of them are video, but it doesn't hang an a video file.  I cannot see anything different about the photo where it hangs than the one before it or the one after.  Before it was hanging on slide 66.  After optimizing it hangs on slide 105.   Lightroom Classic 12.3, Windows 11

Having not done any settings changes, the display of profile thumbnails in the Develop tab of LR CC (using latest version, but this started before the upgrade to the latest version) is messed up.   If I chose grid I used to get 2 thumbnail previews per row with each thumbnail correctly sized to fit. Now the thumbnails are a bit larger so the second one is partially off the screen. If I click on it there is no slider to move back to the move back to the one on the lift except to click on it and apply the profile. If I widen the column I get three thumbnails per row but the third one is partially off the screen resulting in the same condition as in bullet 1 (see first attached screen shot). If I pick large instead of Grid I get stranger results. Some thumbnails are too large to display the full image and in some cases the thumbnails are very small and one per row (see second and third attached screen shots).   Using MAC OS Seq

Lightroom 14.0.1 issue:When Selecting import, the source media loading wheel is excrutiating slow. It took 10 minutes to load half a gigabite. It has now taken 5 minutes and still has not loaded a 41MB folder of 10 screenshots. Does anybody have a solution? Trying to chat with adobe support chat during an outage isn't connecting me with anybody. Thank you!

I just upgraded to Lightroom Classic 14.1.  I have a small catalog of 610 photos, which I have been using with prior versions, with no issue.  When simply trying to view in the Library module, I keep on getting alerts that Lightroom is non-responsive.  If I wait 10-15 seconds it becomes responsive again and I can scroll through another 3-5 photos before becoming non-responsive.  This is new since the upgrade.  Is anyone else experiencing this same issue?  I am using Windows  11.  Closing Lightroom and reopening had no effect in improving the issue.

For the last few days I have been unable to import images and it's saying Destination not writable.  I have updated my Mac 27inch to latest version and also updated Lightroom cc.  I have not changed any thing.  Can someone please help?. 

Me pongo en contacto con el foro porque tengo el siguiente problema. Tengo contratado el plan fotográfico que incluye  Adobe Lightroom y Adobe Photoshop y, además, cuenta con 20 GB de almacenamiento en la nube. El problema  es que en la aplicación de Lightroom clasic  ver. 14.0.1 para escritorio,  NO aparece el incono de la Nube y no puedo iniciar la sincronización,  El sistema operativo instalado es Windows 10 Home V.  22H2.  He desinstalado y he vuelto a reinstalar la apliación varias veces y siempre tengo el mismo resultado.  Donde tendria que estar, no aparece el icono de nube, siendo imposible iniciar la sincronizacion.  Adjunto pantallazo. Gracias.Juan P.

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,beim Öffnen von Lightroom 6 auf meinem Windows Laptop wurde ich letztens aufgefordert, die Seriennummer bzw. den Prodcut-Key in die Maske einzutragen. Nachdem ich das getan und die Eingabe bestätigt habe, kam die Anzeige von Adobe, dass die Seriennummer gesperrt wurde und dass dieses Produkt nicht lizenziert werden kann (siehe Screenshot). Ich habe das Programm im Mai 2017 erworben und nutze es seit dem auf meinem Window 10 Laptop. Ich würde mich freuen, wenn Sie mir die Lizenz wieder freischlaten könnten, da ich für den Erwerb des Programms fast 100 EUR gezahlt haben. Vielen Dank!Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Lightroom Classic 14.0.1 macOS Sonoma 14.7.1   I know I'm a dot release behind. I hinted at this bug in one of my other threads but I have a very obvious repeat.   Lightroom Classic sometimes does not download all the photos from a camera. In this case R5.   3 days of shooting. Typically under 5500 images per day.   First two days, I'm pretty sure (but now not convinced) Lightroom downloaded everything. (I"m hoping so because I erased the card after each day).   On the 3rd day, only 1400 images downloaded out of almost 6000 images. Because the magnitude was so different, I noticed. But could have imagined a scenario where I felt confident and repeated the erase process given the apparent success of Day 1 and Day 2.    Lucky there was no Day 4. I may not have noticed.    Bottom line is that there is a subtle irregular bug where Lightroom Classic concludes the download process without showing a failure message that says you started downloading

Since the last update, Lightroom classic is using all my memory all of the time even when idle.  Even when that is the only thing open, it almost freezes my system.  I can't get anything done in Lightroom, Please help!! I am on Windows 10 pro, 16GB of Ram, Core I7 with 4 cores, 8 logical processors.  It worked fine in the past.  What has changed?  It seems to be a bug where it is hung-up on something, or stuck in some processing loop and costantly flickers and feezes for several seconds over and over.  I have deleted lightroom all off the preferences, twice.  When I reinstall and restore my last backup, the probems remain.  My computer and all drivers are up to date.  I have ruled out any GPU or video card issues.  Any suggestions?   

I have searched these forums yet I have not found a solution to this issue. There are similar ones but not this one.  I am running a MacBook Pro M3 with 36gb of ram, 500gb internal SSD with 300gb of free space and a 4tb external SSD. The OS is Sequoia 15.1 and Lightroom Classic 14.1. The LRC catalog is on the internal SSD.  I am having a memory leak in Lightroom Classic ONLY when it is syncing. If I pause syncing I can use Lightroom for days however, once I restart syncing, I can watch the memory usage climb over a 15 minute time period until Lightroom freezes, the swap file and ram are maxed out and the MacOS banner pops up to force close Lightroom. I have followed the procedure to remove and reinstall Lightroom twice, (the one that requires restarting the Mac after every step), but it did not help. I’ve tried with a new catalog and I even removed every image from the sync list to see if that would help. Nothing stops the memory leak during syncing. &nbsp

LRC update to 14.0.1 this morning and since hasn't been usable.  It did complete its catalog update, however while using it the CPU is constantly busy and the RAM usage keeps climbing.  I've tried restarting my computer as well and still it just climbs and runs slowly.  I had it build standard previews (took hours - much longer than expected) hoping it would speed up after those were in place.However, even after a reboot, if I open lightroom to a folder that has all previews already built with the latest version the issues persists.It starts at about 1.2GB of RAM.  Over the next several minutes of just sitting there doing nothing, it rises at about 100MB / Sec until it uses all the RAM on my computer.Those no tasks shown as running - address lookup and face detection are paused. Lightroom Classic version: 14.0.1 [ 202410161356-30922cfc ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: enOperating system: Windows 10 - Business EditionVersion: 10.0.19045Application archi

Using windows 11. Updates to both LRC and PS (cloud) seem to have issues that get worse on every update. ie, LRC won't retain in preferences anything I put in, all goes back to default. When going from LRC to PS via editing under photo tab, will not transfer, unless I completely power down and restart, also still says PS2024 no matter how many times I've reset prefferences in LRC. Also, tools goes blank, reset to photo instead of paint, it does NOT retain this. WHY???????Have been using this for years, seems you just screw it up more on every update.Also, this fearure to post, gets more and more tedious, WHY?????

Hi All,I just upgraded my 2021 Macbook Pro from Catalina to Ventura 13.7.1.  When I go to use my Lightroom Classic catalog it comes up with an error. While it says my catalog is too new I know it is the other way around - my OS is too new for the older catalog version - I went through this before.  However...   How can I download the right version of Lightroom Classic to my laptop without exceeding my OS?  The only version I see in Adobe Creative Cloud is 14.1.  I am concerned that I will overshoot my current OS and have more problems.  What do I do??   And, my clock is ticking on deadlines... many thanks!

When the M4 Max processor came out, I read in a few places that LRC did not take advantage of all the power the M4 Max had, especially when exporting. I've read the Release Notes for the December update (14.1) and they don't say anything about that. Can someone confirm that this was fixed?
