Lightroom Classic

Help - I have just bought, at some expense, the book Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom Classic for Beginners.  The link for the lesson files is:  adobepress.com/PhotoshopLightroomCIB2022  and it does not work!  This book was ridiculously expensive and I will probably have to return it but if any one can help explain how to access the lessons, that would be great.  Many thanks 

Somehow my directory structure has gotton all messed up and lightroom cannot locate a substancial majority of my pictures on my HDD (approx 2TB +). Has anyone any experience with unisntalling LR, reorganizing the HDD and reisntalling LR to use the new directory structure?

Hello, since a few weeks there always is a GPU Error when i try to use the AI-Denoise-Tool in Lightroom Classic. I already updatet the drive and un- and reinstalled Lightroom. If you search in the Web, you can find many tips like this (deleting the "Camera RAW GPU Config" file) (e.g. here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOyv-8kA2hQ ). Maybe i´m just stupid but i can´t find such a file. Would be very nice if somebody knows what the problem could be, thanks in advance 🙂   [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]

HelloI use Lightroom Classic on a MacBook. After opening the program, the Library window pops up, and when I try to switch to photo editing, it jumps back to the Library window. Did I do something wrong? Where did I make a mistake?best regards Piotr 

Since today all pictures I denoise with Topaz Photo AI from within Lightroom Classic return green. See attachments. Windows 11 Lightroom Classic 14.01 Topaz Photo AI 3.3.1   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

I've just done a job with a fairly new camera, unfortunately had flash lighting issues.(Wish I still had my trusty Canon :l ) I've spent time already editing everything, though found many images are very grainy. I want to do denoise on all of them, but at 11 minutes per image it will take days!Really hope someone can help. What can I do to resolve this? Thanks in advance!

Hallo,in Lightroom Classic (v14.0.1) kann man ja "Foto in DNG konvertieren"Wenn man das macht, hat man ein paar Einstellmöglichkeiten - u.a. wie groß die eingebettete JPG-Vorschau sein soll.. Hier kann man auch "Volle Größe" auswählen - also in meinem Fall bei 24MP 6000x4000 Pixel. Wenn ich ein Bild in der Entwicklungsumgebung per KI entrauschen möchte, wird davon ja auch ein neues entrauschtes DNG generiert, mit dem man dann weiter arbeiten kann. Bei der Erstellung dieses entrauschten DNGs habe ich aber leider nicht die Möglichkeit der Einstellung der eingebetteten JPG-Vorschau. Es wird immer eine stark komprimierte Version mit nur 1024x683 Pixeln eingebettet. Kann man das irgendwo beeinflussen? In den Voreinstellungen und sonst wo habe ich leider nichts gefunden.Ja, man kann anschließend die entrauschten DNGs nochmals per "Foto in DNG konvertieren" händisch konvertieren und dabei dann wieder die JPG-Größe auswählen. Aber mir geht es eben darum, diesen Schritt zu s

I noticed today that panos are suddenly not working. I put three images to merge, I've done it many times before, but today, it creates 3 seperate panos, one for each photo I've selected. The merge window doesn't even pop up to ask about spherical, perspective, etc... it just goes to work....

Hi!   When I import a JPG image (8 bits) with sRGB color space in Ligtroom Classic (development module) :   1) Will Lightromm Classic convert the image color space from sRGB to Prophoto or does Lightroom Classic process the image in its original color space which is sRGB?   2) Is Ligtroom working in 16 bits with a JPG witch is a 8 bits format?   Thank you Normand  

Since the installation of Lightroom Classic 14.0.1 I deal with more problems than with the previous version. Editing and deleting masks not possible, very slow when using "Lens blur".

Does anyone else have problems emailing from lightroom

In LR classic ( lastest version) when choosing the masking option of "select subject" there are adjustments already here to exposure and highlights. It is as though a preset is there, but I did not create any presets for "select subject". Anyone else having this problem? Would like a fix for this. Thanks

I have a new Mac Mini M2 and I am working with the Lightroom Classic version.My photos are stored on an external drive ( Samsung T7 Shield ) When I try to delete a file from Lightroom I receive an error message telling me that Lightroom is unable to move files to trash because files are on a drive that does not support the trash function. There is a button with the option to delete files iireversable. ( screenshot enclosed ) And now we come to the miracle. Sometimes all  of a sudden the system works as it should, i.e. can move files to trash. But the very next day it's all over and i am facing the same problem again.This is very annoying because if i delete files by mistake they are not in the trash from where i could save them. They are lost once and for all. I hope this problem will be resolved quickly.Dieter FriesMarch 6th, 2024 

hii, i was using a luminance range masks for a quite a while. but with new update, when i make a mask the refine slider immediately jump to random value. i have this issue on a silicon processor.

I shoot tethered quite a bit with a variety of Canon cameras.  I prefer to have Lightroom rename my files on import based on date/time.  The time in the file name is always off while the time in the metadata is correct.  This seems to be happening because Lightroom is incorrectly using the Time Zone setting on the camera during tethered capture.  The amount of error exactly matches the time zone correction.  My 6D and 5DS-r both show this problem and both cameras have a time zone setting.  My 5DmkII does not have the time zone setting and does not show the problem.This problem with time base renaming ONLY happens during direct Lightroom tethered shooting.  Renaming any where else in the workflow works as expected.I can and do use an EOS Utility to Lightroom workflow for tethered shooting that gets the proper naming results.  There are situations where a simpler (and slightly faster) workflow is needed.  After several months of only using thi

I had for several years a pc that works amazing, because it wasn't the highest it has some flaws that I could leave with but then my computer fell to the ground and I had serious issues to the point I need a new pc after a lot of research I got the Mac mini with m2 pro 16 ram the Mac is lighting fast in every aspect in the previous reviews I saw I what issues I could have, for example when you move from one image to another it's going to be slow (this is something I particularly hate ) and I truly hate it I format the Mac I did troubleshooting but after I research again it seems it's not a problem of Mac it is an adobe issue, then I hated my Mac because I didn't have that issue either my previous pc, then a miracle happened Lightroom 14 after the update it was my dream setup the Mac was super fast when I move to the next image it was super fast no issue I really enjoyed it but then 14.01 was launch and the issue happened again lag lag and more lag so I move back to the 14 and is fast a

Does the “excessive” use of Smart Collections slow down LrC? Should its use be limited or does it not matter in your experience?The background to my question:I use a location-based folder structure and have “mirrored” this structure as a collection set with (normal) collections. Unfortunately, I always have to remember to synchronize the collections manually when, for example, new images are added to a location. That’s why I’m thinking about solving the whole issue with Smart Collections. Because that would result in a large number of smart collections, I would like to clarify in advance whether I could fall into a performance trap.What are your thoughts or experiences?Greetings, Thomas

On a MBP M1 MAX w/ 64GB RAM Activiting lens blur always slows that image down to a crawl...every....time.  Becomes near unusable.  Activity monitor spikes above 500% for cpu usage (ram usage normal).    Both computer and apps are updated to latest osx and versions. 

My team and I have had multiple issues with the latest Lightroom Classic Update. A few are listed below:- After editing a whole collection of images, lightroom will glitch and reload, and when it reloads, all those recent edits to the collection disappear.  - Issues with exporting where the export dialog box will not pop up. We have to close LR and reopen to then export. - Trying to take an image from LR into photoshop, it will not allow. Again, we have to close the program and reopen.  - When creating a collection folder, the dialog box will not pop up, again, we have to restart the program.    With all these issues listed above, they are all happening on multiple computers that are all updated with the latest macOS softwares.   If anyone has any idea of how to fix this... that would be great! I'm worried adobe has to put out another update of Lightroom classic to resolve these bug issues.     [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, accordi

I hopped into Lightroom this morning and lightroom asked to upgrade my catalog. I just hit yes as I have never had an issue with this in the past. It had an error and said it couldn't find a data file and then opened the new Lightroom catalog with none of my pictures. I tried again with the prior year and it did the same thing. Now I also realise when it was doing that it was breaking the old catalog file in the process so I lost my V12 and V13 catalog. I quick made backups of verything else but no matter how far back I go the catalog shows up with no photos. Years and years of edits gone. I checked the "old lightroom catalog"folder but there are just empty folders. The only reason I have stuck with the slow and buggy garbage is I didn't want to have to start over with something new. Maybe now is the time to do it but I would rather not lose two decades of organization and edits.   [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]

Because of some problems with LR and Photoship connecting with each other I used Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool and removed everything that popped up. When I reinstalled LR, it opened with all of my preferences in tact. Why is this? I thought the tool removed everything. Mac OS Sequoia and current version of LR.
