Lightroom Classic

For months now, Lightroom CC has become the most bug filled useless piece of software I've ever had to use.  It hogs memory like you wouldn't believe - has to be restarted regularly (every 2-3 pictures worth of editing) because it become unusably slow. Exports fail regularly with 'Unknown error'Denoise fails regularly with 'Unknown error'Denoise crashes my Nvidia display drivers on occasion - that really messes up my machine. I'm an IT expert so I know my machine is well spec'd and configured to run Windows 11 efficiently. I have no problems with any other software breaking things and I do a fair bit of image and video processing.  Why is Adobe allowed to get away with charging subscriptions for this PATHETIC poorly written and obviously untested rubbish?! I am so frustrated and angry as it takes hours to do the most simple things now. It's absolutely APPALLING. Lightroom Classic version: 13.5.1 [ 202408271704-d15d09cd ]License: Creative CloudLanguage

Okay, first of all, I upgraded my LrC this morning, day 1 of Adobe MAX. I don't see in CC that there are any additional updates, nor do I see a way to revert back to the old version. Disappointing. I'm having an issue with exporting images. They don't export. The progress bar fills up but never finishes. I also am not seeing the option to just export, only export with presets. (The image files in the finder screen shot were downloaded from Lr Web.) Specs: MacBook Pro, M1 Max, Sequoia OS 15.1, LrC 14.0  I would greatly appreciate any advice. Thank you in advance. Although LrC usually runs smoothly for me, this is frustrating.  Goodnight, I will check in in the morning. Fried.       

I'm making masking and lens blur modifications to photos and they are not being saved, even within the same editing session. I get a message that AI mask changes and blur settings need to be updated. I click the update buttons and move on to the next image but when I return to the first image, the updates have not been saved. Very frustrating! Suggestions?

Add new mask to Subject and Background is not working in the latest version - 13.4. Lr is trying to detect the subject, but it ends with no result. Also, it always shows there are no people in the photo but there are people even if there is only one subject Lr is not detecting subjects/people.   So, paying for the advanced AI options is a waste of money. My workflow got slower because of this issue.   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules. A ‘bug’ is not just another word for any problem with software!]

Is anyone elses LR classic being extremely slow? my photos wont load in either library nor develop module. I have tried updting.... tried making a new catalog, then imported photos from othr catalog.... 

How do I create new keyboard shortcuts in Lightroom classic for Windows?

Been scratching my head on this one...   I have been employing a VA for some months to train and assist in editing of my preschool photos.  Currently, we are on v13.5.1 (Win10) and will remain here for some time until later this year.   Here is the issue...   I send my VA the catalog along with the Smart Previews, Preview, and .lrcat-data db's.  This information is exported from a known catalog that is not corrupt and is kept fairly clean (frequent catalog optimization).  When the VA opens the .lrcat file, he gets an unknown error and cannot open it any further.  We have tried to open Lr and then the catalog and also open the catalog directly.   A workaround was found rather by accident by the VA and that has worked more or less until now.  He found that if he renamed the catalog that I sent him to example.lrcat.lrcat and the Smart Previews db to example.lrcat Smart Previews.lrcat (adding the .lrcat where shown), the

Latest version - Windows 10. The guidelines that appear when using the linear gradient and radial gradient tools not longer appear when using those tools. (Just the colour overlay is shown). How do I get the guidelines back please?

Since the new iOS and latest update to Lightroom Classic, i am unable to import any photos from my iphone or my wife's.    I tried to reset the privacy settings per an article I found online but it did not make any difference.   My iphone is connected to Mac Studio and it is a trusted computer but when I go to the import dialogue, the iphone does not appear as a source for photos.    I can see the phone and access content via Mac Finder so it is connected and accessible outside of the Lightroom Classic App.   Any ideas? 

Been a LR user for many years. Just updated to v 14. When I use the remove tool after making the selection nothing happens. Tried all combinations.  Remove woks fine in Potoshop.  What am I doing wrong.

Buona sera, sono da poco passato a Adobe LRC e Ps, ho lavorato fino a ieri con Capture One (mi è scaduta la licenza) debbo importare il catalogo di Capture One, avete consigli?

I would expect that the color labe would be applied but instead it changes the history of the editing. It may be more complicated than just undoing a step. See the video.... It didn't record my voice for some reason, so see the description below... It shows the sky in the photo going black when I choose a color label.The history panel seems to jump to a previous history. If I undo, then it jumps back to the blue sky and the history that shows that temperature adjustment Lr Classic Current version 14.0.1Mac Sonoma 14.7

Hi there,   In Lightroom CC I do editing and culling for clients and we've always just exported the catalog and dropped it in Dropbox. I'll open it, do my edits and then the client can just open it on their end when I'm done and it's closed out. My new client, regardless if I just use the live catalog in Dropbox, or I export the catalog as a new catalog and send it to her, cannot see the same thing I am and cannot open it. The screenshots attached show what I see (thumbnails) and what she sees (list). Is there a new process on the latest updates or what am I suddenly doing wrong?   We're both on LR CC 14.0.1  |  OSX Sequoia 15.0.1   Thanks!   {Moved from Lightroom Cloud to Lightroom Classic Forum by Moderator} 

Hello everyone, i need your Help please, because i cant work with Lightroom at the Moment. For Timelapse and Pictures i edit them in Lightroom, then i export them in Tiffs Rec2020 HDR. To make a Timelapse or Video i use DaVinci. All Colour Spaces are right for the Workflow and it worked very fine all the Year. But seems like after last Lightroom Update, Lightroom changed the intern Colour Space and Deep. If i test old Pictures Tiffs with HDR edited with LR in DaVinci, they work fine and they look exactly like in Lightroom. So it can't be the Problem from DaVinci. But the new ones look ugly and i cant match another Colour Space. So my Question is, is in Lightroom is an Colour Managment update or Failure?I really hope someone can help me fast, i want to upload my next Video   Patrick

I have hundreds of thousands of photographs taken over fifty years in a Lightroom CC catalog. The normal metadata fields for all images include, among other things, the date/time and longitude/latitude.  I can see the locations in the Lightroom map module. A) My current project requires county data. Since there is no "county" field, I have been inserting that data into an otherwise unused field. Due to the quantities involved, doing this manually for older images or where the city/sublocation may straddle county lines is unrealistic.B) I need to generate captions from this metadata showing "year-sublocation-county-state." Future projects may require some other caption configuration. In the Print module, I can do what I want, but that does not generate durable metadata.Neither of these objectives seems to be included in Lightroom CC. There is a commercial product that might handle the county issue, but they want $1,000/month so I am clearly not their target audience. I have no

I am very excited to see the growing support for deeper bit depth screens with the adaptive modes, JXL support, etc. This can't happen soon enough for me, so qudos all round for this work. However.... Even in Lightroom itself, Grid and Survey mode do the HDR->SDR (terrible), whereas the Develop module and Loupe do HDR rendering. On an iPhone (to just take one quick example) a JPEG (with HD content) will only render properly sometimes, but is often displayed as the HDR->SDR (terrible) mode. I cannot see any way that I would be comfortable, or gain any benefit, to distribute a JPEG file with HD content and nobody I've shown it to wants HDR content in a JPEG file because of this. So, I think this comment from the Adobe Blog about the new Adaptive mode worries me that this is just compounding the problem:"Using the Adobe Adaptive profile is straightforward.... For a regular SDR image make sure that HDR Output is not checked. If you forget to do this, the resulting HDR JPEG

Mein Lightroom Classic (Win 11) ist mir nach dem neusten Update irgendwie durcheinander gekommen: Die Steuerflächen oben links zum steuern der Größe im Bildschirm sind verschwunden und auch die Funktion der Taste "F" für die Bildanzeige im vollen Bildschirm ist zeigt nur noch einen grauen Schirm.Kann man Lightroom irgendwie reparieren oder muss ich es neu installieren? Danke für eure Hilfe!Helmut

When I zoom in on my images in the development module, they are blurry.I didn't have that before, I still use the same parameters as before.1:1 dynamic preview.Once edited and exported they are of course clear again.Where do you think the problem comes from?THANKS

Lightroom Classic v 14.0.1 was recently updated on my computer and now when trying to click on an image to export, it gives me the spinning wheel of death before saying "file could not be found" and ejecting my external hard drive. I tried to uninstall and reinstall an older version but the catalog had already been updated and was no longer compatible. I have removed some of the pictures that it seemed to freeze on to see if the image itself was corrupted - doesn't appear to make a difference. Other folders won't even open at this point. Currently on a Macbook Pro with Sonoma 14.6.1 using a Seagate hard drive.  Help!! It's peak season and I essentially can't do my job.

Bonjour, je souhaiterais télécharger une ancienne version de Lightroom Classic.Merci pour votre aide 

Hi, Basic one, this - but I just can't figurte it out.  So I do corrections to one image and wish to apply across several.  Somehow, shift + clicking is only resulting in one image being corrected.  Huh? DC   {Thread renamed by moderator}  

I am trying to create a color profile in LightRoom Classic using the X-rite Colorchecker target and the workflow in LrC. But whe I get an error message "Profile Cannot be Created".  I am directed to a help link, but it produces a 404 error message! I have the photo of the target, cropped (I've tried many), and use the File>Export with Preset> Colorchecker Profile. Help will be gratefully appreciated.

You can see when the folder sturcture initally expands for 2024, it only displays a few folders.  I have to condense and reopen 2024 to gain access to all the folders.   This has been an issue in prior versions and is still an issue in the most recent Lightroom Classic update.  

I've experienced repeated crashes of Lightroom Classic. At first I thought they were caused by updating to 14.0. I updated to 14.01, but still experiened crashes. I tried the usual fixes - uninstalling and reinstalling, then deleting preferences, but that did not fix the issue. I tried opening a different catalog, and that worked fine, so I figured the catalog was corrupted. So I reverted to 13.5.1, with the previous catalog, and everything worked fine for awhile. But then it crashed, and again I experienced repeated crashes. In these cases Lightroom would only stay open for, at best, 30 seconds before crashing again, while I was just doing simple things like browsing through images.   In both cases - with 14.0, and 13.5.1 - the issues begain when I added images to a synced collection. After further investigation, I've narrowed it down to two files that cause this issue. Both are DNGs created with the Panorama Merge, which I subsequently (after merging) ran through Denoise. This i
