For all the years I have used Lightroom I have used a User Preset to Import my photos. This is pointed at the current month in my Folder Structure and creates folders in that month according to the day of the month the photos are taken. Each month I edit the preset to move the output to the next month. I have recently mover my entire Catalogue from being split between my D: Drive and my external G: Drive so the entire catalogue is on the G: Drive. The Import User Preset has gone “wrong” and I cannot find a fix. Refer the following screens. Import using User Script - everything is as it should be with a couple of days straggling to be moved back to AugustLightroom structure after Import Nothing has added to September. Going through Previous Import - Photo - Go to Folder In Library takes me here. Which is outside my Master CatalogueThen I cannot Drag any of these new folders into their correct location within the Master Catalogue.I cannot find any way of either rectifying the problem wit
I have a brand-new Macbook Pro with the most up-to-date OS, and I can’t get either Lightroom installer (CC or Classic) to respond. Clicking on them does literally nothing; they just don’t ever open up. They don’t even give me an error message, so I’m not sure what I can even do at this point. Yes, I’ve restarted my computer multiple times and even had tech support take over my computer to try to fix the issue, and nothing’s worked.
I upgraded from iPhone 14 Pro Max to 17 Pro Max. For some reason when I put my photos taken with the new iPhone through Lightroom (mobile version) to export them as sRGB for socials they come out much darker in exposure. This happens to all of the photos. I tried again my old photos taken with the 14 Pro Max and I don't have this issue. How do I fix this and what is going on? This is driving me insane. Thank you very much!
Bonjour,Je rencontre un problème persistant avec le module Impression de Lightroom Classic, et les différentes procédures de dépannage déjà effectuées n’ont pas permis de le résoudre.ConfigurationLightroom Classic : 15.5 Build : 202607291506-b8869fa7 Système : Windows 11 – 64 bits Version Windows : 11.0.26200 Processeur : 12 processeurs logiques Carte graphique : NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6 Go Camera Raw : 18.5 Catalogue principal : C:\Users\jadly\Pictures\Lightroom\Lightroom Catalog.lrcatDescription du problèmeDans le module Impression, le menu Style de disposition propose normalement :Une seule image / planche contact Collection d’images Collection personnaliséeCependant, lorsque je sélectionne Collection d’images ou Collection personnalisée, l’interface ne se met pas à jour.Les panneaux de droite restent systématiquement ceux correspondant à Une seule image / planche contact, notamment :Paramètres d’image Disposition Repères Page Travaux d’impressionLes panneaux attendus pour les mode
I use a Mac M5 Max with mac OS Tahoe 26.6 - lighroom cc keeps crashing within about 5-10 seconds of launching the application. What should i do? I have granted full disk access and tried disabling the graphics processor already.
It works fine for a few days and then won’t open. Task Manager says it is running but I see nothing. What gives?I should mention my catalog is huge … don’t know if that has anything to do with it.
Hello everyone! I am a travel food blogger, and I regularly take pictures of restaurant food for my website. I am currently using Lightroom to edit my photos, but I struggle with indoor restaurant lighting. The yellow/warm lights in restaurants often ruin the natural colors of the food.For example, I recently visited a fast-food chain to update my guide on the McDonald's menu prices in Poland and the indoor lighting made the food look very unappetizing in the raw photos.Does anyone have tips on how to color-correct harsh indoor restaurant lighting in Lightroom? Or any recommendations for a small, portable light I can carry in my bag?Thanks in advance!Aileen

Hola! Me gustaria saber si en algun momento le pondran la herramienta de "Relleno generativo" a Lightroom Classic, para no tener que volcar el archivo a photoshop para utilizar la herramienta,
So since 2 days ago, every time I try to apply a preset I get this pop-up saying “Some AI models are downloading. Please try again later.” that stays stuck at 0% and doesn't move.I saw one of the possible fixes may be to log out and back in, but when trying to log out I also get an error, the one in the attached picture.I've tried restarting my computer and router, changing firewall/antivirus settings, running as administrator, reinstalling LrC, and none work.It seems like all of a sudden LrC can’t recognize that I am connected to the internet.Does anyone have any other potential fixes? Thank you.
I’m on Windows 11 and using the current versions of both LR classic (15.5.1) and PS (27.10.0), but seeing different color rendering between the two programs. I checked a lot of color settings but eventually noticed that LR is using Camera Raw v18.5.1 and PS is using v18.6.0.2698. I’ve checked Creative Cloud for updates, but none are available. Why wouldn’t LR be using the current version of ACR?Creative Cloud shows current versions of LRC, Photoshop & Camera RawLRC 15.5.1 is using Camera Raw 18.5.1Photoshop 27.10.0 is using Camera Raw v18.6.0.2698DNG file opened in Photoshop immediately renders differently on same calibrated monitor
I spaced and moved a Lightroom Classic folder in my external hard drive instead of in Lightroom so now the images can’t be found. But, when I right click on the folder or the parent folder in Lightroom the “Find Missing Folder” option doesn’t appear. What’s going on? Thanks!
Lightroom Classic 15.5.1 and prior versions. Using MacOS, but I doubt that matters for this bug.When using the Dust removal tool (in the Distraction Removal panel), if you rapidly add dust removal spots, the “Removing New Dust Spot...” dialog will stick and not disappear even after LR has finished adding the spot.Steps to reproduce:Enable Dust removal. Start rapidly clicking multiple spots, without giving each time to complete. The busy dialog will popup, timeout, but fail to dismiss automatically. Manually press Cancel to dismiss it yourself.
DNG should be able to have sidecar .xmp file for the edits we do in LR classic. it would speed up the backing up processit would preserve the integrity of the filesit would preserve the life span of ssd and hddit would make the workflow with different raw files from different brands more consistent.It would prevent the original creation date of the file from being changed, thereby avoiding mistakes when synchronizing or overwriting files with the same name but from different years.Since synchronization is primarily based on the file name and creation date, this is particularly important for professional photographers. We only have 9,999 numbers available in the file naming system, so it is common for RAW and DNG files from different years to have the same numerical file name. In these cases, the original creation date is the only reliable parameter the computer has to distinguish between them and prevent the wrong file from being overwritten.I am hoping this discussion gets some suppor
I installed the latest version of Lightroom, and every time I try to paste a preset onto a photo, I get the message: “Some AI models are downloading. Please try again later.” However, nothing actually downloads, and I can’t use my presets. And also I can’t use the AI in Lightroom Classic
After a recent update, stripes started to occur in masks that were added with AI function, such as the people detection function.The people mask auto generated failed to identify the person and covers the whole photo, the mask geneted also contains stripes in it.Tried stopping the GPU, clearing the cache, evening reinstalling the software, nothing helped.The system infor is shown below.Lightroom Classic version: 15.5.1 [ 202608131348-cab7eed5 ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: enOperating system: Windows 11 - Home Premium EditionVersion: 11.0.26200Application architecture: x64System architecture: x64Logical processor count: 16Processor speed: 3.6GHzSqLite Version: 3.36.0Adobe GSDK Version: 1.4.0.213 CPU Utilisation: 0.0%Power Source: Plugged In, 22% (Low) (Charging)Built-in memory: 32253.3 MBDedicated GPU memory used by Lightroom: 13.1MB / 128.0MB (10%)Real memory available to Lightroom: 32253.3 MBReal memory used by Lightroom: 2307.2 MB (7.1%)Virtual memory used by Lightroom: 2
Import photos from one drive to another with a lightroom catalog. Files are copied and sent to new location but progress bar shows an incomplete process (two actually). They get hung up more than ¾ of the way through. I shut LR down and restart. All photos are where I imported them to? LR will not do anything else until I restart. I’m downgrading.
It's all in the title. But here's a screenshot of the problem.Because of this problem, local AI functionality is much slower.I have already tried the troubleshooting steps on the troubleshooting page, but without success.This is intolerable considering that I pay for the subscription to this software.I've attached my dxdiag file.I'm also experiencing the same issue with Camera Raw versions 18.4.1 through 18.6. Only Camera Raw 18.4 still works correctly. And my NVIDIA driver is fully up to date with version 616.56, released yesterday.
Give Claude the Lightroom playbook and create the MCP integration. I think we would all be happy with that.
Long time LR classic (windows 11 w/ networked 25T NAS) and med term LR cc user (on an iPad when shooting and on road) who has successfully been able to import, visualize, and edit pictures on both platforms using the synched feature and Adobe Cloud Storage. The work flow is 1)import pictures from my Canon camera directly into a new folder in LR classic and onto the 25T NAS with the same folder name for permanent storage with a copy to a 4T external HD (with additional redundancy by weekly automatic upload into the Amazon Glacier S3 Cloud Storage). 2) create a collection (same name) from the new folder and sync to Adobe Cloud Storage (1T). 3) I edit on any device (windows computer, IPad,iphone, web) and all are synched. Problem is when I go the other way when I'm on the road shooting and want to edit before i arrive home. Workflow is:1)import pictures from my Canon camera directly into a new album in LR cc and sync to Adobe Cloud Storage (1T). Edit away2)when i return home, I log onto
Hey everyone! We usually have a very short window between shooting, importing, editing, exporting, and uploading the images, so speed is extremely important.Right now, I’m using a Canon R10 and shooting JPEG at medium quality. I may eventually move to RAW, but before doing that, I’d like to make my current workflow faster and more straightforward.1. Automatically applying edits based on reference imagesI usually shoot from one location during a race, so the lighting conditions are relatively consistent. However, I still have situations such as:Clouds temporarily covering the sun The sun changing position because events start early in the morning ISO changing as the available light changes Shooting runners from different directionsWhat I’d really like to know is whether Lightroom Classic has a way to define a few reference images for different lighting scenarios and automatically apply the appropriate Develop settings to similar photos.For example, imagine I’m photographing runners from
A couple of months ago, I went to open a Lightroom Classic catalog, and it appeared to crash. The first Lightroom graphic appeared, but after a few minutes, the catalog didn’t open. At first, I force-quit and tried again. That didn’t help. Then I resorted to pulling an old catalog file from Time Machine, which worked initially but later failed the same way after closing the catalog and reopening. It wasn’t always immediate. Sometimes I could close the catalog and reopen it right away, and it would work, but eventually it failed the same way again. I dug around in the Lightroom community and found many other people having similar issues, but most seemed to be using Windows 11. People said Lightroom would eventually open if you left it long enough. Several hours! I tried this and found that it was true. Whenever the catalog seemed to crash while trying to open, if I left it for hours, it would eventually open. In all of these other posts by other people with similar issues, one of the c
I’ve had to delete the app from my computer because the new crop feature keeps freezing lightroom and I can’t get it to resolve on its own
HI! When I upgraded to Canon R5 from the 5Dmk3 a few years ago my existing VSCO presets wouldn't work properly and a wonderful person on here sent me new dcp files for R5/6 which solved my problem and was amazing! And of course after looking for 3 hours can't find who it was. I have a NEW problem. Went to edit some older images taken on my 5DMK3 and of course my presets dont work properly - they show in grey italics and the image is a bit washed out . It seem after a lot of searching the problem is the adobe no longer supports this“~~C - Kodak Portra 400_.lrtemplate” Is anyone able to help me please ! Im ready to throw my computer across the room. I have thousands of unedited images on the MK3 id love to finish editing , and obviously want consistency! My images shot on the R5 are still being editing perfectly with my slightly tweaked presets :) cheers Jo!
So, good color grain simulation is pretty hard to find, and a while back I came up with my own as a PS action, which is pretty good. (Optional) To give a better "pushed grainy color reversal film" look, increase saturation (even till unrealistic ... go look at E1600 +2/+3) and smooth image (texture -50 or thereabouts)Desaturate photo "-50" to avoid gamut problemsConvert to CMYKFor each channel:a) Camera Raw Filter: Grain Amount 100, Grain Size whatever (e.g. 30), Grain Roughness 100b) gaussian blur (to match grain size above)Convert back to RGBTurn saturation back up "+50" Et, voila! Now, obviously there is no reason this can't be done in Lightroom itself, as basically all of this is built in (no explicit gaussian blur but it's used everywhere internally). Here's an example up close and magnified. This is a nice clean digital photo run through the above action: For comparison, here is a scan of +2 pushed cross-processed expired E100-something:
