Lightroom Classic

I am embarrassed to say that I really do not understand how this OneDrive and Lightroom work together. I hope someone can educate me here. I have only the original 5 GB of space on the OneDrive that is currently being eaten up by Lightroom (4.1 GB). I do not know how Lightroom came to be on the OneDrive as well as my desktop and laptop computers; I certainly did not consciously do so. I am running Windows 10 on both machines. At any rate, I would like to free up space on the OneDrive so I could use it to store instructional material for my classes that I teach, but I am afraid to uncheck the Lightroom folder on the OneDrive because the footnote warns that if I uncheck a folder, that folder will be removed from my computer. That Lightroom folder contains my catalogue previews, smart previews, and other files to the tune of 4.1 GB. Does that mean that if I uncheck the Lightroom folder in the OneDrive, Lightroom itself is going to be deleted from my computer(s)? Thanks in advance to any a

First off, when starting Lightroom, it lags during startup. I also noticed that all of my content-aware edits and removals on 300 of my photos became undone. I had to redo everything, only to realize I had to do it once more, which made me feel like there's a glitch, bug, or error. I keep getting a message saying, "Some remove settings need to be updated." it also keep saying  skipped 2 or so geneative spot .. WHY ?!?! I would like to know why this is happening and how I can fix these frustrating issues. Thanks! 

Importing files.They are new and on the local hard drive.Neither the "File Renaming" or "Destination" tabs are visible on the right hand side. Nor are they listed in the drop down of available tabs when clicking in the right hand window tab bar. Is this a bug or a new feature removal in this version of Lightroom Classic? If a feature removal, how can you rename files on import or post import in batch? thanks 🙂

Hi All I'm a teacher and just wanting to get some get some validations on how INFURIATING it is that LrC catalog versions aren't backwards compatible at all (like even in the mini/intermittant updates between versions)--students are contantly having compatibility issues because the version that their personal computers can update to is different than what the institutional labs at school update to--they literally aren't on the same schedule--the students can get more updates on their personal computers. This results in the students working in their catalogs/images at home and not being able to keep working at school seamlessly. I just want them to be able to easily store a catalog on their harddrive and open it to keep working on stuff at home/school.  This annoying feature really puts a wrench in that. I understand why there has to be a backwards compatibility cutoff/limit, but it's suuuuper annoying how senstive/frequent it is.

I recently updated to the new Lightroom Classic and have some brush presets I want to use. I copied the presets into the Local Adjustment Presets folder but when I go to add a new brush mask, I do not have the option to change the preset effect. It simply says Erase and is blacked out so I cannot click on it.  Any idea as to why this might happen? Many thanks!

Hello, I have been having multiple issues with Lightroom Classic, and it seems that many of them are catalog/preview issues. I'm hoping that there is a root cause for all of the issues I'm having, but anyone with more knowldege than me can be the judge of that. I'm going to describe each issue seperately, detail the troubleshooting I've attempted, then provide system and version information at the end.   Currently Lightroom only opens with an old catalog, but I have used the most recent backup catalog has been functional in the past so I'm pretty sure it is intact.   1. The first issue I have is the following error:     This issue has been persistent through several remedy methods: - Uninstalling and Re-installing Lightroom Classic - Closing Lightroom instances in Task Manager - Starting Lighroom from a backup catalog - Restarting my computer and starting Lightroom from a backup catalog   It seems to crop up at random instances, not really prompted by anything

I am on 14.0.1 and am literally wasting HOURS on a daily basis due to performance issues with LrC.  It was fine in the summer and event up through August... however lately my productivity has been impacted due to whatever is going on.  I've read all the Adobe documentation and feel like I have going through all the settings to optimize the performance.  Below is the output I see commonly requested for troubleshooting....  aside from the community, is there a better process for engaging support?   Lightroom Classic version: 14.0.1 [ 202410161356-30922cfc ] License: Creative Cloud Language setting: en Operating system: Windows 10 - Business Edition Version: 10.0.19045 Application architecture: x64 System architecture: x64 Logical processor count: 24 Processor speed: 3.8GHz SqLite Version: 3.36.0 CPU Utilisation: 1.0% Power Source: Plugged In Built-in memory: 32712.7 MB Dedicated GPU memory used by Lightroom: 11866.6MB / 10053.0MB (118%) Real memory available to L

It seems that the feature to search and sort photos by orientation (horizontal/vertical), which is available in Lightroom CC, is not present in Lightroom Classic. Why is that?

Two years ago I found with and article or video on how to do lens cast corrections on RAW files taken with a shift lens.  This requires using a calibration image taken through an white plastic sheet at the time the original image is taken.  The color casting produced is uneven and was a product of shifting the lens.  I was able to do this and it worked great.   Unfortunately I have lost the instructions and have been unable to figure out what I did.  After 6 hours of searching the net,  I can;t find the tutorial.  This was not a flat -field correction.  

Since upgrading to LR classic 14 I've noticed a couple of irritating "faults" (or changes in the interface I didn't want). In the Develop module I selecting a group of images that all needed rotating I used the 'command[ ' but it only rotates one picture. I then have to go back to the Library module to rotate a group of images  - in all fairness this 'problem' may have always been the case but it's only today that I had so many pictures to rotate..Another gripe is the crop tool; always reverting to "Original" and the lock symbol comes on. No matter how many times I change it back and turned off the lock it reverted to Original which is very annoying. Anyone know how "Custom" can be made the default setting for the crop tool format ?   BTW not very impressed with the new Remove tools !

My environment: MacBook Pro M1 Max Lr Classic: 14.0 Printer: EPSON SC-P700 The issue is about available in printing module paper sizes and paper handling. Let me show you some screenshots: Paper sizes in LrC:   As you see e.g. 10x15 (4x6") format is missing. As well as A3+ is missing (however you may use SuperB/A3 instead). Thanks to the Custom Size option I defined 10x15 but LrC produces very strange results (please ignore the color quality of the photo of the printing):     Printing parameters: "rotate to fit, maximum size (margins 0,3cm).   In opposition, Ps sees the available formats as follows: As you see 4x6 is pre-defined but what is more interesting - printing is 100% proper.   To complete the problem. Standard MacOS viewer shows the following formats for this printer:   Any idea what is wrong? Any workaround?   Regards, Tomek      

I started my Photography Plan subscription on 16 April 2014.I want to terminate the subscription but do not want to pay the fine (currently about €30) for ending my subscription too soon (before the year is over).I have not found an option that would allow me to cancel the subscription at the next renewal or prolongation (so it ends at 15 April 2025).Is ther such an option?If not, when should I have to unsubscribe so...a. I don't have to pay a fine; andb. I'm not too late to be stuck with another year's subscription?

Did a job yesterday and got home to edit the photos.. Immediately after importing the images (.CR2 Raw files from Canon 5DS) Lightroom started struggling to perform ANY action..  even going to the next frame in the film strip took several seconds, with a few short appearances of the spinning beach ball.. Editing was practically impossible - trying to crop an image and move the crop rectangle was taking about 15 seconds to update the frame position..   I looked what 'activity' was happening behind the identity plate at the top left and it was "saving xmp for xx photos" (xx was a number between 25-80 something)..  but then if I moved to the next frame, it repeated - "saving xmp for xx photos"...Everytime I perform ANY action, it's saving XMP to multiple photos - even though I only have one photo selected in the strip. If I switch from library to develop, it again saves XMP to multiple photos - without me changing ANYTHING...   Why is Lightroom constantly writing

Hello,When I open Lightroom classic on my MAC running Sonoma 14.6.1, the application loads and looks ok on first glance but the rainbow spinning wheel persists and the program does not fully load and thus is not usable.  I have restarted my computer a few times.  The application was updated by Adobe last week.  This is the first time I have used the application since the automatic update by Adobe.   I would appreciate any help with this problem.  Thank you,Jeff

Since the latest updates, I have had some issues with using Camera Raw (v 17.0) in Lightroom Classic (14.0.1).  I have the same issue in the latest Photoshop Beta (v 26.1).  When I go into Camera Raw and try to make a mask, it creates the mask but turns the color temperature to the maximum (very yellow) and and bumps clarity, texture and contrast.  I have to manually reset those sliders and check for any other unwanted adjustments before making the adjustments I wanted in the mask.    Also, it seems that Lightroom and/or Photoshop Beta are running slower than usual and gobbling up memory for some reason.  I 16 GB RAM and never had issues before, but now I get freezing, crashes, and/or dialogues telling me there is not enough RAM.  To prevent losing work, I am frrequently and saving the files and then purging the cache while I work.  The remove tool seems to be the biggest issue with RAM.

Lightroom Version Number 13.5.1 Operating System Windows 10When using LR 13.5.1 & PS 25.12, following instruction using Camera Raw to convert, ends up with a profile that creates a B&W image. I’ve tried various presets, always same result.Any clues?

In some cases, when I reset an image, it appears that the original is not retrieved. The before and after versions remain differently. I cannot think of any reason, why this should happen. Please help me! Admittedly, I am a relative rookie, so please be gentle if the solution to my problem is an easy one.    Thanks so much.

The command Metadata > Update DNG Preview & Metadata removes the full-sized JPEG preview from DNGs that contain such previews.   To reproduce on LR 14.0.1 / Mac OS 14.6.1: 1. Download and open this catalog:https://www.dropbox.com/s/7j2fdfmflq5fm1m/dng-preview-bug.2024-10-23.zip?dl=0 2. Select the single photo and do File > Export with these settings to export a DNG with a full-size JPEG preview back into the catalog: 3. Using Exiftool, verify that the new DNG contains a full-size JPEG preview in SubIFD2:  $ exiftool -a -G1 *.dng | egrep 'Subfile Type|Image Width|Image Height|Photometric|Compression' [IFD0] Subfile Type : Reduced-resolution image [IFD0] Image Width : 256 [IFD0] Image Height : 171 [IFD0] Compression : Uncompressed [IFD0] Photometric Interpretation : RGB [SubIFD] Subfile Type

In playing around with the update to Camera Raw(Version 26.0), I noticed that when in Lightroom Classic the edits done in CR, do not sync.  This occurs when the RAW file is "Done", but not exported to another file type. Bug?

Dear reader of this discussion.I have a new hard disk. And I copied all my original raw pictures from my old hard disk to the new one.The catologus contains all the work, processing , ameliorations of the original pictures on the old place , hard disk.How can I arrange that the good processing of this pictures (the catalogus) is going to / are joined with the (same) pictures on the new hard disk?Greetings, Eddy

So I probably did a dumb thing, but I was about to import when I got a message to update my lightroom version 13.3 (I think).  Then I got this message about my catalogue being compressed.  It didn't give me an option and so I accepted.  It might as well have said "I am here to fu..k you up"  Anyway, I now have every thumbnail with something weird on it, like Br,   or 1 or a picture of a something like a printer (which I didn't take) all weird stuff.  Anyone know what the hell happened.

After newest version of Lightroom Classic upgraded my catalog, I'm now missing 12 folders from my library. These folders represent 15000 images and 6 weeks work processing and removing unwanted images from the folders and catalog to around 900 images. This is to say the least disheartening. If anyone has an idea on how I can locate and restore these folders it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi friends, I've gone through all forums looking for an answer and I can't find any solution, so I apologize if I am being reduntant by asking this question again.I spent hours editing images in Lightroom thinking I could just export JPGs but the exported images are coming out flat and dull. Basically the bright whites are not being saved.   • I am exporting in sRGB. Also tried other profiles like Display P3, Adobe RGB, Prophoto RGB• My monitor is set to the right settings. I am a graphic designer and use my machine daily for creative work.• I tried toggling off User Graphic Processor. It makes things look flat in Lightroom (just like the exported JPGs) but not sure what to do with this information. • I have cleared my Lightroom cache• I tried opening in Photoshop either from Lightroom or by opening the DNG and its still looking flat.  I am in urgent need of these photos so my only solution at the moment is to screenshot the edited images from Lightro
