Lightroom Classic

Hi, I run Lightroom Classic v10.1.1 on Windows 10 using an Nvidia RTX 2070 Ti (latest drivers).   Since I think v10.1 I have very annoying behavior: when moving around sliders in the develop module or just zooming in or out, there is a short black flash in the photo display box. It's probably only 1 frame long on my 60 Hz monitor. The black flash does not happen on every operation on the photo but often enough that it's really annoying and it also starts to hurt my eyes after a while.   I tried to take a video of it using my phone: https://photos.app.goo.gl/MqdEn8Y4qJF61jM5A. You can see it for example when I zoom into the photo at the beginning of the video or when moving the first slider after zooming out again.   This issue started recently for me, maybe starting with v10.1, but maybe some other update broke Lightroom classic on my system.   Has anyone experienced something similar?     {Thread title edited by moderator}

I am having problems with Slideshow in Lightroom Classic. I've got a brand new Mac with ample "power" (M3 Max, 64GB RAM and TBs of free SSD space) and the latest versions of MacOS and LIghtroom Classic. But... instead of being blisteringly fast, exporting and creating previews doesn't feel any faster than the 10 year old laptop it's replaced, and Slideshow doesn't work at all. Can anyone help? 

I have installed the latest generative fill lightroom update 13.3 on my macbook pro m1 pro laptop. I have plenty of free space on my mac, the catalog is optimised, and lightroom was always running smoothly up untill 13.2. So the main problems after installing 13.3:  1. images are syncing to the cloud all the time. I know I have quite a lot of images in the lightroom cloud, I left my laptop for 2-3 days working all the time so that the images could get synced. (Anyway, I paused the syncing for the time being as there are other much more important issues).2. importing takes forever to load the images. I use fast CF Express Cards with cf express card reader, with 13.2  import was smooth and fast. It took maybe half an hour to load 3000 images in the import window and then 4-5-6 hours to import, convert to dng and fetch the initial previews, which was normally done within half an hour or something or less. 3. converting to dng on import converted not all of the raws, ot

Hello,  For the past couple of months I've been ignoring a warning that CleanMyMacX has been popping up, telling me that my macbook has high memory usage and I need to do something about it. When I click on this, it tells me the main culprit is Lightroom.  Please can someone talk me through (in simple terms, I'm great at cameras, reasonably competent at computers but rubbish at this bit) what I need to check? I delete lightroom backups every couple of months (I keep 3), and delete previews periodically (I am scrolling back through old photos as I try to tidy old photos). Its a 16GB M2 2022 macbook air, running ventura 13.2.1. I use Lightroom classic release 13.1. I've nothing against updating my macbook, I generally delay updates to avoid it causing any headaches with Lightroom.  Thank you very much, Lyndsey

This has been happening off and on for years but since the latest update it's now a permanent issue for me.  I copy and import images from a card using a  card reader into my lightroom catalog.  I've been doing this for at least 10 years.   After importing less than 10 images lightroom no longer adds new images, and nothing more seems to be happen, although there's no spinning beachball and the activity monitor shows that lightroom isn't unresponsive....   The Copy and import photos progress bar does not appear to move at all for many minutes.... If I'm infinitely patient and wait about 20 minutes I'll notice the bar has moved a little bit, although no more images are added to the catalog..   If I look at the folder on my hard drive where the image files are importing, I'll have Temporary folder and then TempParent folder that contains a long list of additional temporary folders, each with one raw file in it.    At some point light

Hallo, ich bitte um Unterstützung: Ich arbeite mit LR 6.14. Mein Problem: Bilder die ich von der Festplatte in Lightroom importiere, werden nicht anschließend im Entwickeln-Modul angezeigt. Wenn ich es nochmals versuche, werden die Bilder als bereits importiert angezeigt (ausgegraut, nicht mehr importierbar).Bisher öffnete sich immer nach dem Import das Entwicklungsmodul. Was kann ich tun? vielen Dank für Hilfe! 

I'm new here & was hoping for some help & advice...I sent a photo from Lightroom to photoshop to change the background, I then sent this back to Lightroom to continue my edits but it was saved as a TIFF & Lightroom doesn't denoise a TIFF file....Is there any other way to denoise this image now?Is there a way to denoise in photoshop after I have changed the background & then send back to Lightroom?I'm not too familiar with photoshop, I've only been using Lightroom so am a bit lost!Any help is appreciated! 

I am using an older 32GB SanDisk card in a Lexar dual card reader. I am using a PC and Windows 11. The card, until 2 days ago, was working and now there is a problem. I am downloading Infrared images from a Canon Rebel XSI 450D. When I try to download the images there is no indication that images are available. I can take photos and they will be on the card and I can review them in camera but they will not download to Lightroom.. Is this the card reader?  Any other tests I can do or should I just get another dual reader? Thanks,Photodoc16

I'm a first-time LrC user. Imported files from my external drive. Seemed to work well. The file structure from my external drive appeared in the Source Panel and previews appeared in the center panel.  BUT neither the Folders nor Collections panel appear on the left side of the screen under the Source Panel. Alas, I want to make Collections from the Folders. Can't do one without the other. Although I think I followed exactly the Import instructions from the book Lightroom Classic The Missing FAQ, I'm not getting what I expected to get. How do I fix this? Already uninstalled LrC and reinstalled it. Same problem. I must be missing something. Would appreciate a little help. Thanks in advance.(Macbook Pro, Apple M1, Sonoma 14.6.1. LrC version 13.5.1)

I've been trying to find the templates for collections I've created.  Can someone tell me what Lightroom Classic on Windows stores the definitions (templates) for the smart collections I create get stored?

I've been offered a laptop with these specs: Intel Core i7-9750HGeforce RTX 2070HyperX Impact DDR4 2933MHz 32GBPM981a 1TB PCIe NVMe M.2 I'm confident it is capable of running Lightroom Classic, but will it run fast? Is this good specs for Lightroom Classic? I have no idea. 🙂

Hi all, I have recently upgraded to a Nikon Z8, still have a Z6ii, and use the FTZ V1 to run my 70-220 2.8 ED FL lens.  All Cameras, Len and Adapter on Latest firmware. I only Shoot RAW/NEF, so it's not that I'm shooting jpg.    LrC continues to read the 70-200 FL as the older 70-200 2.8 E lens , but ONLY when shooting on the Z8. When shot and imported to LrC on the Z6ii it reads as the 70-200FL.Anyone else had this issue and know of a fix?  It's frustrating having to batch-change the Lens profile for all my images shot on this lens    [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]

My masks are not working right. It won't detect people or background. Then it locks up on me so much so I have to do a hard reset.  I have turned syncing off, cleared the cache, optimized the catalog, and tried to give LR more memory.

Has anyone here ever run into this issue.  If so, is there another fix aside from reinstalling Ps 2024

j'importe mes photos sur le bureau (PC, Windows 11) avec lightroom classic. Lors du traitement avec lightroom pas de problème avec le module bibliothèque. Mais dès que je suis dans le module développement au bout de quelques traitements de photos (environ 10 photos) le logiciel se bloque et s'éteint.  lorsque je relance le logiciel il affiche la précédente importation mais le travail effectué est conservé (photos rejetées ou traitées).

Looking for a solution to be able to open and work using Lightroom Classic after Ventura 13.7 update. (9/22/2024) is today's date). Working on an iMac Retina 4K, 21.5in, 2017  I've read thruough these forums and tried many of the recommedantions to no avail. I've given full disk access, I've used the creative cloud cleaner tool, reinstall all apps and more. And the same result. Lightroom Classic will not open. Any help? Thanks in advance, Shawn(p.s. from reading these forums it seems like this has been an issue in the past for many other updates of Ventura - we customers lose many hours days and even weeks of work unable to access our paid subscriptions. I'm sure Adobe works dilgently with Apple to minimize these risks, hopefully they can find solutions to avoid these crash issues next update.) 

Hello, My LRC catalog have many remaining unsynchronized photos (here 2375, see screen copy included here). I do not know which are theses photos. Is a possibility to know these photos and understand why they're pending so long? I use Lihtroom classic (LRC) Version 13.5.1 on a windows 10 and windows 11 PC. And th Lightroom on line I use is Version 7.5 Thank You for help

As part of my photo editing workflow I use Lightroom Classic (win 11 environment) and third party applications (e.g. Topaz and DxO) throug "Photo>Edit in". Now suddenly the plug-ins stopped working and Lightroom Classic freezes totally and can be closed only by killing the process in Task Manager. Same effect appears also when trying to use Lightroom Classic Denoise (AI). I have tried to solve the problem with Topaz Labs service Center with no luck so far.What has been tried so far:1) Lightroom uninstall/reinstall.2) GPU driver update to latest possible 3) Uninstall/reinstall third party applications (including plugins)The third party applications work perfectly stand alone, but this way my own workflow is broken and very frustrating.Does anyone have a solution to my problem?Ritva

Guten Tag,Ich bin ein neuer der Lightroom Classic erst seit ein paar Tagen nutzen tutmeine Frage wenn ich die Bilderbearbeitet habe was für eine Bildgröße muss ich einstellen das es noch eine gute Qualität Auflösung habe beim Bilder Exportieren würde mich über Infos sehr freuen.

When I use my laptop for editing photos, I do what I normally do and select the photos to import, it has the box along the top left hand side saying its importing photos, but after a few seconds the box disappears and no photos have been imported.I cant try to reimport any photos because the import button is greyed out. to try again I have to shut lightroom down and reopen the program.I have uninstalled lightroom, and tried again with the same result. My lightroom is up to date. I was using it perfectly fine a few days ago, and it is still working fine on my desktop computer.

Wenn ich Fotos in LrC importiere, findet eine radikale Verschiebung des Farbspektrums in Richtung Popart statt: aus einem einfachen Grün wird ein unwirklich strahlendes Gelbgrün, aus dem gedeckten Himmel wird ein unwirklich strahlendes Azurblau usw. Ich habe die Presets usw. kontrolliert, ohne Erfolg. Ein weiteres Problem ergibt sich beim Export. Hier werden die Farben der bearbeiteten Fotos so massiv auf ein  winziges Spektrum reduziert, dass ich die Fotos nicht verschicken kann. Jetzt habe ich Gimp runtergeladen, hier läuft der Importprozess ohne geringste Veränderungen, die Farben entsprechen denen der Aufnahme. Was also ist zu tun: ich bin dankbar für jeden Hinweis!   [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]

I have a huge catalogue of over 300K images, in multiple folders and collections. Sometimes I am browsing a certain folder or collection and work on  an image, but then I move to some other folder or collection and that selection is lost. Currently I don't know any ways  to retrace the steps and get back to the previous folder/ previously selected image in the Library. The "navigate" feature showing left/right arrow in the bottom strip on the Library Grid view doesn't work between folders. Is there any way at all to retrace at least 5-10 steps back in your library browsing history, to find the image that was selected in the previous step? If not, I think that should definitely be a feature!Thank you.

Hi! I just upgraded to Lightroom Classic 10 (for Mac OS) and suddently Lightroom adjustments aren't  applyed when sending a file to Photoshop using "edit in Photoshop". Specifically, the profile I've applied in Lightroom is removed and replaced with the regular Adobe color profile. Has anyone else seen this? Is there a solution? I'm on Mac OS 10.15.7.

Não estou conseguindo abrir o LcR no meu computador. Já tentei várias soluções, inclusive desinstalei a versão mais recente e instalei a anterior e não deu certo. Meu Pc é Intel Core i5-11300H com placa Dedicada NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 1650 

Hi. Hope someone can give me an assist. LR Classic wont boot or open. System says its open but the program itself does not show up or display its usual boot up process. I was able to boot up PS and PS Beta. But LR Classic wont show up. I was able to uninstall and reinstall and even uninstall and reinstall to an older version. Still not booting up. It was working this past week.  I've restarted the computer and even made sure nothing is on while it boots up.  But sadly no change.  Ive checked GPU performance analysis and it says LR Classic is open but no activity. Hope anyone can provide insight.
