Lightroom Classic

Hello everyone, I need help. My lightroom classic is recently crashing like crazy. It just comes out of nowhere even when I am doing nothing in it. Also I have a problem with RAM consuption. All of sudden the lightromm takes almost 30 gb out of my RAM memory 😞 and that happens even when I have done nothing with it. No masking, denoising, nothing and it sill climbes up. I have tried different version. Sometypes it holds good for hours and sometimes it happens right when I open my program. Any suggestions? Catalog optimized 

13.5.1. Seems recent.I typically import using a preset.  Now after import, Library mode view is not showing the preset edits even after waiting, or leaving and coming back.  What I see is pre-edit / pre-preset.When I go to Develop looking at one of these, the view updates and the edits show, and then back in the Library view it now has updated.If I import without a preset and then add the preset after import, those photos get updated in Libary mode one by one and they always show.It is annoying because I see a photo in Libary and can conclude it is too dark or too light when viewed elsewhere it is fine.  I have looked for a way to "refresh" the Library view which would be a workaround. But I think it should refresh automatically. 

I've been fighting with LRC for a while now and it seems like a simple setting is not working for some reason. My workflow was always RAW Process on  DXO -> TIFF -> Import to LRC -> Edit it PS as PSD -> Back to LRC So LRC is being used primary for cataloging. But no matter what setting I set for Edit In, the TIFF is not being converted to PSD. More specific, even if I choose to edit copy, another TIFF file is being created instead of PSD.  When I had older version of Photoshop installed, namely 2021, I could have secondary PS as external editor and my workaround was: Edit In PS 2021, choose PSD, close file and edit the stacked copy from LRC as Edit Original. But since PS 2021 has been deleted, no other work around, unless to open in some other external editor, to create PSD. Any help would be appreciated ❤️   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules. A ‘bug’ is not just another word for any problem with software

Hi I received this from Adobe on how to turn off ''auto updates'' as it is no longer in preferences  in creative cloud,  where is account icon after you open LR app? 

Bonjour, en mode développement sur ma version 13.5, après retouche des photos en utilisant l'IA avec l'outil suppression et ou masquage, lorsque je retourne dessus il m'est demandé de mettre à jour les paramètres IA d'ailleurs un petit point rouge s'affiche sous masquage et ou suppression et il est inscrit ceci: certains paramètres de suppression doivent être maj. Si quelqu'un peut m'expliquer pourquoi merci. Voir captures d'écran

Hello, i have problems with the import-dialog. When i go to "File > Import Photos and Video..." it takes about 1 minute until the dialog is completely open. It takes also about 10 seconds or for every klick when i browser to the directory containing the photos i want to import. Its like the import dialog freeze for some seconds and react very slow.Once i selected the right directory, it seems to work correct, because the time to generate the previews and the time for importing the photos is not so bad.Anyone has a idea what can be the problem?I have installed the latest nvidia driver (not the studio driver, because is not compatible with my rtx a4000 graphic card) and i disconnect all usb-sticks or SD-card from PC - but it did not help. Here is my "System Info": Lightroom Classic version: 13.5.1 [ 202408271704-d15d09cd ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: enOperating system: Windows 11 - Business EditionVersion: 11.0.22631Application architecture: x64System architectu

Hi. Following an attempt to free up space on my hard drive, I used a clean up software. Since then I am unable to get Lightroom to launch or open any of my backups! I have managed to create a new catalogue which seems to work fine but it will not let me import any of the old catalogues (25,000 images). Can anyone help?

So I just logged into my lightroom on a computer I haven't used for a while and whilst I saw my folder with 1700 images, it wouldn't let me access (I had an email in July saying my subscription was being renewed). So I clicked to start the free 7 day trial because I just wanted to get in and work out what I was doing with my subscriptions, and there's now 0 images in the archive, and none in my cloud storage either. My account name hasn't changed and it doesn't show my subscription, only the new free trial. It seems this as happened to a few people but all quite different scenarios. All suggestions very welcome thank-you.

Hello everyone,I’m writing this message in case it can be of help, as in my case it has made a radical change. I think I’ve read all the threads about poor LC performance, as I have a quite powerful PC (Ryzen 9, lots of RAM, SSD drives, decent graphics card) and yet, LC was driving me crazy with its lack of smoothness (in module changes, when moving from one image to another, in creating or editing masks, in using the brush with the Wacom tablet…). I tried everything, to no avail, and I even installed the trial version of Capture One (which, by the way, was much more agile than Lightroom).Well, yesterday the Logitech MX Ergo mouse broke down and I replaced it with a cheap, optical, wired one that was around the house… And it’s been incredible! For some reason, the wireless MX Ergo (I hadn’t used another with my PC) interfered with Lightroom and made everything very slow. Removing it has impressively increased LC’s performance. Yesterday I thoroughly enjoyed editing photos, retouching m

galera , meu pincel do lightroom nao funciona, nao atera nada que faço na marcacao , alguem me ajuda?mac m2 

I mark all the RAW files that I export as JPEG. Now, I'd like to export only these marked RAWs and their edits to a backup medium. The result should be a folder, containing only those marked RAWs and a Lightroom catalogue with the edits that I did to them. I seem to be unable to come up with an easy way of doing this. Thanks for any hints

Mac OS Sonoma 14.6.1, Lightroom Classic 13.5.1, I've noticed recently that my Mac display won't turn off after specified inactivity timeout in display sleep settings. The issue is intermittent but pretty frequent. I would walk up to my mac after an hour and the display would still be on. I've checked the system power settings many times, should sleep after 5 minutes. My Lightroom Classic does have the option to prevent system sleep while syncing ON. However, that should not keep the display on! pmset -g reports that Lightroom Classic is keeping THE DISPLAY on for some reason. Seems like a bug to me. Please see attached screenshot   [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]

While in the Library, when selecting photos, if I click the arrow to move to the next photo, sometimes the 'held button' effect appears, and it skips forward by several dozen photos. Of course, the button isn’t actually being held down. I’ve also tested switching photos using other buttons, even those on the mouse. Unfortunately, it's not a keyboard/mouse issue, but rather a Lightroom problem. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I've never experienced this before, and it’s been happening for about a week now. If it helps, both my mouse and keyboard are from Razer.I have the latest version of Lightroom Classic.

Why LrC dont denoise Fujifilm X10 .RAF files?

Is it possible to set the colorprofile of 20 photo's in one click after imported them?Or is it just one by one?

It would be great if the Lightroom catalog would auto update/synchronize when a new file was added to a folder in the catalog instead of having to do it manually everytime you save a new photo to a folder in the catalog. This was one of the great features in the old iView Media Pro. I would think it simple to do?

Hi everyone, I've been a Lightroom Classic user for many, many years. Never had this issue on this machine (Mac M1 Max, 64 GB RAM). LRC was always buttery smooth. Recently however I made a few changes:- I got a Synology NAS for my photos (almost 17 TB) connected via ethernet (1 Gbps)- I merged two catalogs I had (previously I'd load them individually to work on the photos)- I created 1:1 previews for a huge percentage of my catalog (the previews folder alone is ~4 TB in size) I don't know which one of these changes is the culprit, but suddenly I can't do ANYTHING in LRC without getting the endless beachball of death. Touch a slider? Beachball. Zoom into a photo? Beachball. Even "I" (info overlay) has a huge lag. In short, it's completely unusable. Obviously I've rebooted and shut down every other app and only have LRC loaded, and still, same problem. Please help... thank you.

I have Lightroom 13.5.1, Windows 11, 16GB Ram, Core i7 processor. Lightroom regularly crashes. It seems to be when I'm not editing. For example, editing collections, keywords and metadata, and selecting photos to import. So basically in the Library mode. This has happened for a month or two now in different versions of Lightroom so its not a problem with the latest release. I attached the system info text. 

Bonjour,j'ai un problème , le rendu à l'export est beaucoup moins doux que le rendu dans la fenêtre de devellopement,pas de soucis pour les couleurs mais c'est vraiment trop net à l'export , j'ai essayé tout type de réglage rien n'y fait, une idée ?

My Lightroom Classic after the 13.5.1 update now has it where when I use the removal tool or heal, it does the change but won't apply it or save. What the heck? Suggestion?? Why won't it work anymore? Thanksno save or apply button above

I just imported all my photos into LR 4 and would like to delete them from my phone. Anyone know how to do this?Thanks

As the subject suggests, I have no success in masking subject in LrC. I tried this with many other photos I've taken before and results are all the same. However, when I tried opening the same photo in Photoshop, the subject can be selected properly. So now I wonder what could be the difference in setting between the two, if there's any. Help is greatly appreciated! Here's my system info if it helps:Lightroom Classic version: 13.5.1 [ 202408271704-d15d09cd ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: en-JPOperating system: Mac OS 14Version: 14.6.1 [23G93]Application architecture: x64Logical processor count: 12Processor speed: 2.6GHzSqLite Version: 3.36.0Power Source: Plugged In, 80%Built-in memory: 32,768.0 MBDedicated GPU memory used by Lightroom: 2,631.4MB / 4,080.0MB (64%)Real memory available to Lightroom: 32,768.0 MBReal memory used by Lightroom: 6,601.8 MB (20.1%)Virtual memory used by Lightroom: 58,243.7 MBMemory cache size: 73.1MBInternal Camera Raw version: 16.5 [

Greetings, I'm 85 photography/15 video using an original base model M1 Mac Mini with 16GB ram/1TB SSD, 8-core CPU/8-core GPU into an LG 5K display. This configuration has served me well and is light years better than my last 5.4K iMac. But now I'm noticing some slowdowns. For example, in LR on a large 1000+ image job (Canon R5 raw images) the preview renders in Library mode can be frustratingly slow. The thumbnails are there but they can be soft/fuzzy for 1 and up to 10 seconds before "blooming" in to sharp focus. This kills productivity during the image culling phase. Also, some of the new LR AI masking features are very slow.Perhaps I'm lacking a "setting" in preferences (camera raw cache settings or GPU setting)? Otherwise, in light of this, I'm considering a hardware upgrade if this might improve things. I'm currently looking at the M2 Pro (base 10-core CPU/16-core GPU) and the M2 Studio Max (base base 12-core CPU/30-core GPU). Most likely either one with 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD. Conf

I would like to subscribe to Lightroom Classic for $10/month.  Unfortunately, when I go to buy, the only option is to get LR Classic AND Photoshop for $20/month.Is there a way to just get LR Classic? Thanks, Cliff

This message just started up when I go to access Lightroom Classic on my computer, befor this the the vast majority of my images were coming up blank in my Library.   I am looking for a more detail explaination to correct the issue or be able to contact someone for assistance.
