Lightroom Classic

New bug in LRC 14.0 and 14.0.1  (Windows 11) 1. In the Develop module, click "Remove"  (Eraser mode; "Use generative AI" and "Detect Objects" are selected;  "Visualize Spots" NOT selected. 2.  Select area to be removed, which is highlighted in Red. 4. Click "Remove". 5. Dialog box pops up, when done, red highlight goes away and first variation is displayed.  Can cycle through the different variations.  (All good so far.) 6. On the same image, select another area to remove, which is now highlighted in Red. 7. Click "Remove". 8. Dialog box pops up, but when it is done, the red hightlight does NOT go away.  However, there is now three variations to choose from.  (Not good.) 9. If you click on the right arrow for Variation 2, the red highlight goes away and variation 2 is displayed.  You can rotate through the variations.   [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]  

II am using Lightroom Classic 13.5.1  to manage my photo collection . I have a problem witha couple of  thousand JPG photos I made a long time ago with my SONY RX100-I (~30% of the total amount ) when writing tags to them from lightroom  (it can read them) it gives error  "cannot write metadata - unknown file format"   . I have tried exiftool to repair the metadata , but that does not help. If I open and safe the JPG in photoshop, the error disappears. But that is an elaborate process with image loss. Please find attached a sample file with write issues . What is causing this ? Is it a lightroom bug or can I delete a specifi tag causing this? 

Hello everyoneI renamed some of the LR develop presets I created, and although they still appear in the Favourites, they are not listed in the User Presets section. If I need to worry about them being in the User Presets section, how do I get them back into there? My concern is not to lose them should I need to reinstall LR or MacOS. MacOS and latest LR Thanks!John

AI functions were still working today, I used features such as background blur, smooth skin, etc. Now, any function related to AI simply doesn’t work, it says that the settings couldn’t be updated for 1 photo. And it happens with any photo. I'm attaching a screenshot of the error, but it’s written in Russian, though it shows the same error I mentioned above

I just installed Lightroom Classic Version 8 and none of my photos appear and I see no option to open my catalogue.  What am I doing wrong?  Thanks.

First of all, I've resolved the problem by resetting the edits and starting over. However, I would like to know what I might have done wrong, so I might avoid this in the future. The DNG is 24 MB, from a Canon 6D Mark II. When it's open, LR generally lags when switching between modules, but it really boggs down when I open the masking panel. Toggling the overlay takes about 5 seconds. It takes 3-4 seconds to see the effect when clicking a mask's "eye" icon. There is several seconds delay between painting and seeing the stroke appear in the overlay, and as I move the brush the overlay appears in little blocks, instead of going down smoothly. It can take up to 10 seconds for the stroke to show in the history panel.  Here are the masks (2 gradients and 4 brushes):I optimized the catalog, deleted and re-created the 1:1 preview, and turned off  the graphics processor, but it didn't help. Is it possible for a specific file's database entry to get randomly corrupted?

Hello, my name is Javier.   I had this error for a long time, but i keep working because i did not want to remove all programs and install it again. But recently my Mac got a battery problem and when it return from apple service, the mac was formated, so I have to install all over again. To my surprise that the exit error 6 keep coming when using topaz photo ai. the error appears when I press the botton at topaz photo ai to send the photo back to lightroom again. The work is done most of the times, I have the photo back, but the error box appears and sometimes i have a crash on lightroom and I have to open the program again.   the programs where installed from scratch, not from a back up file.   Any help is welcome   rgds Javier   [Moved from 'Bugs' to 'Discussions' by moderator, according to forum rules.

Recently, I have discovered a strange behaviour of Lightroom when entering metadata.I am in the library view/grid view and have selected several images. If I then write something in the metadata (e.g. caption), it is displayed briefly and then disappears again. Only when I manually trigger "Read metadata from file" is it displayed again."Selected photos" is ticked and the little eye symbol next to the metadata field.I didn't have this behaviour until a few weeks ago. What am I doing wrong? Windows 11, Lightroom Classic 13.

Please help. I backed up my catalog right before intalling the new update to 14.0.1. When it relaunched, my catalog was gone, it had reverteds to one from a few months back. I've gone through all my backups and cant find my backup from today. I had so much work on there, I think Im going to cry.

Lightroom Classic is not detecting camera during Tethered Capture. - Canon R5 with latest firmware, V 2.0.0- MacBook Pro, OS Sonoma 14.4, Chip Apple M3Pro, 18GB Memory- Lightroom Classic, version 14.0.1LR just keeps searching for the camera. The camera has not gone to sleep and I have plenty of disc space on the Mac. I tried shutting everything down and rebooting. Thanks for your help! 

Hola buenas tardes, estoy teniendo un problema y no encuentro mucha informacion para solucionarlo.Quiero exportar las fotos de mi catalogo de Lightroom y me sale un aviso de que no ha sido posible exportar las fotos porque hay un error de escritura en el archivo.Es la primera vez que me pasa, muchas gracias

[Windows 11 debugging help Qs] I just moved up to a new computer. Before I had a 1080ti and enabling graphics acceleration made LRC so unusable that it was difficult to disable it again. OK, new computer, but same hard drive. I now have a brand new 7900xt graphics card, with brand new driver installed. Enabling graphics acceleration corrupts the image.   The best way I can describe it is that all the brightest parts of the image get lowered a gray, maybe a 75% gray.   Anyone seen this before? I have no idea what might be the problem. And yes, it's the most recent driver. Windows 11.   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

Hey Adobe community! I've been doing photo editing of my RAW files in Lightroom, but I often struggle to maintain the natural color accuracy of my photos, especially after adjusting exposure and contrast. The colors sometimes seem too enhanced, and I’m not sure if I’m over-editing. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hello.I have a problem with Lightroom Classic, which is not able to open photos from previous years that have already been added to the catalog, and works perfectly before. It tries to access them but it is very slow or it doesn't even open them.The PC should be more than enough and I explain how it is configured:Intel Core i9 14900k (new, not damaged by anything previous), ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 Hero (latest Bios 2703 with all Intel patches), 64 GB of 6200 Mhz memory, SAMSUNG SSD NVMe 990 PRO 2TB (WIN 11 and programs), SSD NVMe 2TB (here is only the Lightroom catalog and it is also used as a virtual drive for Photoshop to use), SSD 1TB (photographs from the current year), HD 6TB with previous years.If  I'm working with the current year (the 1TB SSD) and I don't leave that unit, there's no problem (close open Lighroom perfectly) , but although it's not very fast (and look at the PC that it is). The problem comes when I want to go to photos that are on another unit (the 6TB HD, alth

Can someone advice me what to do? Before i used to see the SFTP option when i want to upload content (i am contributor) but for the last 2-3 months not sure how long i cant see the option to upload using SFTP. Contacted Adobe Customer service 10 people were transfering me one to another without answer and one even said Adobe dosnt have SFTP option....Anyway. I did clear cache browsing history cookie and yet dosnt show me the SFTP option. Is the problem in my Chrome browser or something as i use it as main default browser or the problem is in Adobe?   [moving from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]

I've been experiencing a strange issue over the last few days, where instead of thumbnails, I only have grey tiles. There's a link to a screenshot below. I've reinstalled Lightroom Classic twice, tried going back two versions, reinstalled Nvidia drivers twice – nothing helps. I deleted the entire configuration folder and launched Lightroom Classic again – same issue. The problem only occurs on my laptop with Windows 11; the one with Windows 10 works flawlessly.Help, please – thanks in advance! 

Well... this is not fun!  I just updated Lightroom Classic this morning and when trying to edit a photo it becomes extremely unstable and unresponsive and finally crashes.    Not good considering I have a number of photos I need to edit... Why is this happening and how to I fix it? Here is what Event Viewer says:The program Lightroom.exe version 14.0.0.9 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Security and Maintenance control panel.- <Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event">- <System><Provider Name="Application Hang" Guid="{c631c3dc-c676-59e4-2db3-5c0af00f9675}" /><EventID>1002</EventID><Version>0</Version><Level>2</Level><Task>101</Task><Opcode>0</Opcode><Keywords>0x8000000000000000</Keywords><TimeCreated SystemTime="2024-10-15T20:28:58.6601800Z"

Hallo Ich habe ein Verständnis-, und vielleicht auch Bedienungsproblem, und bitte um Hilfe. Meine ArbeitsumgebungBei meinem Abo sind 100 GB Cloud inkludiert. Ich arbeite mit LrC, wobei die Bilddateien auf einem NAS liegen, sowie mit Mobilgeräten, die Lr installiert haben. Meine FeststellungNun, wenn ich in LrC gewisse (grössere) Sammlungen über Lr Mobile synchronisiere, verändert sich der freie Cloud Speicher nicht. Wenn ich eine Serie Bilder ab einem Mobilgerät synchronisiere, braucht es diesen (natürlich). Die FragenMir ist klar, bei bei Synchronisationen ab LrC nicht die ganze Datei hochgeladen wird, aber dass es selbst bei 200 Bildern nicht mal eine MB-Kommastelle verändert, ist schon faszinierend. Ist das wirklich so? ...und jetzt aber mein eigentliches Problem:Die mobil hochgeladenen Bilder würde ich zuhause natürlich dann gerne auch auf die NAS verschieben, und nur die Vorschau noch online belassen. Leider kann ich aber aus der Sammlung die Bilder in LrC

Hi in meinem Lightroom Classic treten neuerdings einige Probleme auf. Die Bilder werden nicht immer aktualisiert nach einer Bearbeitung im Entwickler-Modul oder Photoshop. Vorschauen verwerfen und neu erstellen, oder ein Leeren des Cache hat keine Abhilfe gebracht. Im Entwicklermodul, bei den Masken, verschwinden die Buttons (Auge) um die Masken aktivieren oder deaktivieren zu können immer wieder. Abhilfe bisher ist aus dem Modul raus, allenfalls einen Neustart vom LrC... Läuft auf einem MBPro M1, Sonoma 14.6.1  

Hello, For years I've been attached to a volunteer project, trying to impose world peace through art. I used to have Lightroom, but with the purchase of my new Nikon Z6iii camera, it seems that I must now necessarily rent the latest version of Lightroom. I'm only interested in two factors: restoring the color as close as possible to its original on the one hand, and restoring perspective on the other. Strictly nothing else. To avoid reflections, I often have to take a picture to one side to restore perspective. Thank you for your advice. Jean-Paul 

Hi everyone, I am facing issues with updating my LRC/LR and PS. When I try to update I get an error message "Updates have been disabled for this machine. Please contact your administrator." If I try to update in creative cloud it says everything is up to date. LRC installed is 13.1, but the latest one is 13.5 I searched but I only see drastic solutions to uninstall everything and then reinstall the latest version. This seems to be a bit of a hassle especially when you have to do this every single time an update is released. Any words of wisom on the matter? Thanks in advanceRoy

Few hours ago I updated to version 14.01 and after few hours of trying different things I just downloaded Capture One.   This software is a joke. Have been using it for years, while it was getting slower and slower but this latest update tops everything. After generating 1:1 previews the program becomes completely unresponsive. It takes 4-5 (sic!) seconds to move from one image to another in library!   And no, this is NOT hardware issue - before update navigating images was normal, took <1 second. It all changed within 1 hour after update.   Thanks for nothing Adobe, you just lost a customer. And looking at other posts here and on Reddit - you are gonna lose much, much more!

there are 4000 photos in the original folder, but only 3600 photos are imported, not all photos are imported, and so with each folder that I want to importI do the import from an external hard drive

Has anyone noticed that with update 14.0.1 each time a label a photo with 1 star...could be any rating, when editing the photo it removes the label and it says no photo selected. No updates available to either Lightroom or MACOS. Tried to search first but couldn't find anything. Thanks. 

Hi,   Today I opened Lightroom Classic and found I had to update my catalog to open it due to the recent update (14.0.1)   After the catalog update, I have lost ALL pictures in my catalog except for the ones done in the last week, the collections are there but they are fully empty.   Please tell me this can be fixed, I had in there collections of my late wife going back years. I can't see myself redoing thousands of pictures. This is breaking me.   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]
