TERRIBLE UPDATE. LR Classic auto-updated with the latest version 15.4.1. I did not ask for that. And since the update, my exports look like a disaster. Completely washed out.I understand color space - I know they won’t look identical to the original file -- but generally LR did a good job - it was very close. Never had an issue in all the years of using this app. Suddenly now the exports are a disaster.I immediately downgraded to 15.3.1, and luckily was able to restore my last Catalog as well. (did not update other catalogs, thank goodness)Well, all that for naught because my exports are now still terrible. I have no idea what is going on. I’m making the edits extreme, in order to somewhat compensate and nothing is changing its he exports. Just absolute dreadful color. And it’s hard to show this considering anything on the web converts to sRGB anyway… so it won’t be true representations. This is the best I can do - a screenshot: http://hnydsn.com/i/6jEPf3LEFT is the export preview. RIG

Importing from a catalog is approximately ten times slower than importing directly from a memory card. I just imported a catalog of 259 photos from another catalog and it took as long as importing 2500 photos from a memory card would take. The ssd is plugged into a very fast USB port and has a transfer rate of over 1000 mb/s. Is this bug common?

Here is a case of not being careful and dumb! Wondering if there is an well defined way for recovery instead of doing this manually for recovering 12K photos. The following steps got me into problem: I am using a Macbook Pro M5 with LRC. I import the raw files from the Compact Flash card into a local catalog on the internal SSD. Process them. In this case, I had 51 files after processing a day of birding. Then I open the large 47K files catalog on my external 4TB SSD and import all the files from the “local” catalog. Then I switch back to the “local” catalog and delete all the files, keeping it ready for next set of raw image imports. However, this time, I accidentally opened the 47K catalog, flagged all the files “Rejected” and then deleted the files from the drive. I realized the blunder in a few seconds and force closed the app. By that time, the Trash folder had 12K files and all those images have an “!” sign indicating missing files.I have made a second copy of the 330GB of files

I'm using Lightroom Classic 14.1 on macOS Sonoma 14.7.2  I'm trying to import photos and videos from my iPhone 14 Pro/iOS 18.0.  The import process never ends.  What happens is:Start the import process to import ~1000 items from my iPhone attached directly via USB-C Lightning cable.  The destination folder is one which Lightroom has successfully imported photos from my SD card.At the start of the import process, previews for a few photos are displayed initially and then none until I cancel the import.After a few minutes, the progress bar shows no progress.If I cancel the import process, an error is displayed. "The following files were not imported because they could not be read or the destination is not writable (1)"The error shows a number of video files that could not be imported.  In this example, these files are 452,659,828MB. Over several imports, videos over 1GB in size have been imported from the iPhone, so sizeof the .MOV files doesn't seem to be t

Lorsque je sélectionne l’une des trois propositions pour remplacer l’image dans le cadre d’une suppression, in fine, le résultat après validation est différent des trois propositions. What did I do wrong ?

I recently had to move my photos folder from one place to another (old drive died, copied files from a backup to a new drive). At the same time I updated to the latest Adobe, that now has assisted culling for example. Main catalog updated fine, was able to view photos etc. Then I tried to import. Since it's a new version of adobe it's now showing me the new fetaures.. in this case assisted culling. No problem, click on the X to close the dialog.. nope.. hmm.. I can't click anywhere to get rid of the dialog. Thought maybe adobe crashed, so i clicked on another window and low and behold there's another dialog behind the culling sample one.. it's showing that the old destination folder no longer exists, which is true. Ok, click on Ok. Nope.. instantly the culling dialog is back.. so now I'm stuck. I can't close the culling dialog, and I can't close the missing destination folder dialog. I can only kill the process.. Anyone have a solution for this crazy one?

I’ve successfully been using denoise since it came out in LR Classic, but now it has stopped working. I use 14.5.2. I tick the Denoise box and it produces a progress bar but then stops. I asked Chat GBT and it tried lots of things (I reinstalled LR) but it eventually said ask Adobe. Here is the Chat GBT chat: https://chatgpt.com/share/6a3d7c65-5564-83eb-ba38-ecdfef8e9588 Any human ideas?

HI EVERYONE!  Im having a problem where i dont know how to remove the wave looking thing on this guys tuxedo all answers help if you know what you are doing ! (on his rigth shoulder ) 

Previously I used LrC 12 (and other versions). Recently I installed LR 14.1.1 on a new system. Now the suggested names on recognized face regions look bad. I attached screenshots to show the issue, unfortunatly the screenshots do not show the whole extent of the problem; They look a little bit softer than the original LR interface on the monitor.    System Details: Windows 10 22H2 nVidia GeForce RTX 4070 S GPU driver version: 566.36 (studio driver) DirectX 12 24" LCD with 1920 x 1200 px resolution / 22" LCD with 1680 x 1050 px resolution (both 8bit, 60Hz) Issue happens when Windows UI scaling is set to 100% (default) as well as when it is set to 110%.   Manually added person tag – a bit blurry but ok:   Suggested person tags – double letter edges or something, seemingly on some backgrounds more than on others (but sometimes more on dark and sometimes more on bright backgrounds), mostly on letters with straight lines:  after accepting a suggestion it looks a

I have applied Auto in the develop module then selected denoise and this error occurs.

I logged into LR Classic this morning and a message popped up with an update and that I should back-up my catalogue, which I did, however, all my photos have disappeared!  When I open LRC now it is empty!  What have I done?  I chose to back-up to Google Drive rather than Cloud, is that why?  Can I reverse it?

What is "automatically analyze photos in a catalog" checkbox located in the Catalog Preferences > Metadata panel? What does it do exactly and how do you use it?

I’m working with lightroom normally, then suddenly previews won’t generate. If I try to import from an SD card, I can’t see any previews, and in normal grid mode or viewing, previews are not available. When I go to quit Lightroom I get the spinning beach ball and after a few minutes I have to force quit Lightroom classic becuase it has hung. I have turned off GPU assistance, trashed the lock file, and the previews file, reset preferences but this problem keeps coming back. 

I am running LrC on a MacBook Pro working on a 870 Gb catalog on a SSD. My laptop hybrid drive has limited space right now and I just came back from a trip with 12,000+ photos and am trying to culling them down while still running off the SSD. The photos are from 3 separate Nikon bodies, two Z8s and a Z7II.When I try to close the application I have preferences set to backup, optimize and check integrity. The first time I had LrC application backup my working catalog to a Thunderbolt 5 SSD (laptop is running Thunderbolt 4) separate from the Thunderbolt 5 SSD where my catalog is stored it took 19 hours at which point the application crashed. So as a work around I don’t have the application backup the catalog. At the end of each working day I copy the now entire 870-ish Gb catalog folder from one Thunderbolt drive to that separate Thunderbolt drive which takes 6 minutes. Then I open and check the integrity of the .lrcat file on each drive, never any problems. After I delete a significant

I’m on Windows 10, and using LRC 13.5.1. I am using this version because later versions caused tethering bugs in our studio, so that’s the version we’re on right now, so please don’t tell me to upgrade if you respond.  I have a question about resources. When I look at a film strip and click on any image on the film strip, the CPU usage jumps to 30%, then down to 15%, then 3% etc. But why on earth is the CPU jumping to 30% when I simply click on an image in the film strip?When I launch PS, launching it only takes 3-4% CPU. When I open even a very large file in PS, the CPU usage only jumps to 4% max. But when I simply view an image in the film strip in LRC, the CPU jumps to 30%.Why such  crazy CPU usage for such a simple task in LRC?I’ve also noticed that LRC is using more RAM than even PS. Currently sitting at 12GB of RAM, doing nothing. Whereas PS is only using 7GB of RAM with a 1GB file open. I’m asking these questions because lately this machine has been running hot, and sometimes th

I have been using Lightroom Classic since version 2.  Currently using the latest version on a Windows 11 computer.  Everything is up-to-date.  For years I was able to get satisfactory prints from LrC and used the print module all the time.  However, for the past couple of years the prints have come out with a very pinkish cast to them that I cannot resolve.  I can print from Epson print layout, Qimage, and Photoshop with no problems.  But when I try to print the same image, same profile, same paper with the same settings using LrC the colors are never what they should be anymore.  Any suggestions?  I know how to use the print module.  I have had success with it previously.  I can get quality images with other printing software, but LrC has become a real stumbling block.  I'm using an Epson ET-8550. 

I use a LrC Classic on a laptop for several months of the year to manage bird photographs away from home. A three-day bird watching trip typically results in 3500 NEF (Nikon Raw) images, and over several months I typically start with a total of 20,000 files. I use the laptop to do culling and editing of the photos, deleting unused files. In the process of editing, I also produce DNG and possibly TIFF files stacked with the original NEF file. Eventually, I want to merge the files into the “master” LrC Classic catalog that I maintain on the home desktop. On both laptop and PC I am running the same version of LrC Classic 15.3.1. I have encountered problems merging the laptop catalog into the master, using guidance that I found on the website. I am hoping that one of you experts can help me explain the problems I encountered and confirm/correct how I tried to resolve it.I know this is detailed, but I wanted to describe my setup so that you can help me. I hope you have the patience to read

I am running latest release of LrC on m Apple silicon Mac. Recently I have started creating collections to sync to Lr on my iPhone & iPad. It generally has worked well, except I have one folder/collection that doesn’t sync its contents. I have tried various suggestions ( stop/start sync, delete/recreate the collection, rebuild the sync database } but nothing seems to work for this collection, Any suggestions would be very much appreciated  Marty

Is it possible to filter and find all the images that have a top-level keyword - let me explainIf I have a keyword hierarchy along the lines ofUNITED KINGDOM       ENGLAND             Yorkshire                   Leeds                   York              Cornwall              Dorset      WALES             Powys       SCOTLAND              AyrshireHow can filter those images tagged ENGLAND, but are not in any of the sub categories?What if I wanted those tagged Yorkshire – but not in any of the sub categories ?

Here are the details:Application: Adobe Lightroom Classic Issue: Generative AI remains on the loading screen and never completes the generation. Expected behavior: The AI should process the request and generate the result. Actual behavior: The loading animation continues indefinitely, and nothing is generated.    

I did tahoe update to 26.3.1 and LrC update to 15.3 now LRc will not come up. I reverted back to LRc v 15.2.1 and it opens.

LrC very slow Denoise AI. Laptop AMD Ryzen 7 and Radeon 7600m. Latest Radeon drivers. I also tried switching to older drivers but it didn’t help with those either. The computer used to perform this Denoise AI process very quickly (about 15 seconds). Less than a month ago apparently some update caused it so that now the same task takes about 15 minutes.When I go to LrC - preferences - performance Camera Raw. In the settings it is no longer possible to change the <Use Graphics Processor> and <Use GPU for Preview Generation> values. Both values are gray and set to OFF. Earlier, both values could be changed and were, if I remember correctly, set to AUTO.  Below this it says that  Graphics processor acceleration is not supported by your system.What could possibly have caused this (some update?) and what could be a solution to the problem?

The splash screen this morning shows me logged in 10 days ago and also just 15 hours ago. This is becoming tiresome. Please get rid of it!!

After a 6 month break from adobe creative cloud i just logged in and i am unable to use lightroom classic.  Lightroom classic will not open through the app.  It will also not download.  All other creative cloud apps are working.
