Lightroom Classic

Hi, is there any way to reduce the RAM consumption of LrC 14.0.1 on Mac Apple Silicon? I have a MacBook Air M1 8/256 (Sequoia 15.1) and I have noticed that LrC consumes more RAM than version 13. It starts with 3 GB of RAM occupancy then It comes to 7/8 GB of memory occupancy, particularly when I scroll through images in the DEVELOP section (with a little lag between photos) or when I use DENOISE AI. Memory pressure is yellow. Thank you very much.

Hello again! My 8tb hard drive corrupted but I am still able to open and copy files. My 16 TB drive comes today- I am planning to copy my photos to the new drive. I also purchased a 5TB drive. I would like to start fresh and have ONLY my current albums I am working on, put onto this 5 TB drive along with my current backed up LRC catalog that has all my edits and presets actions etc. is this possible? It also would be great to put my catalog on the internal drive of my Mac for faster performance but only house the currents projects I'm working on, not  all 130k photos it has now however I don't know if my Mac has that much storage either as it's only 1 TB. Anyone have a clear step by step way to do this ? I am so slow when it comes to this stuff & it's fall and I'm so behind in editing thanks to this mess! Thanks so much to anyone who reads this! 

Hey everyone! I’ve been using Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop for about a year and a half now. I’m very happy with them, but I’ve run into a few issues. Photography has become a serious hobby, but it’s not yet something I can make a living from. I can’t afford a new laptop that meets all the requirements for the Adobe apps just yet. Hence my question. Is it possible to install Lightroom Classic and Photoshop on an external drive and use the programs directly from that external drive? Like a online storage space?  And, can I store the photos on the external drive to keep my laptop “free” for my studies? All my photos are currently stored on my computer. Could I store them in an online storage space and still be able to use them in Lightroom and Photoshop?I understand that this doesn’t solve issues like the driver, but the programs are too heavy for my laptop, which affects its speed. If I put the programs on an external drive, it will save memory on my laptop

I make profiels based on export of a .cube file from a Photoshop file with adjustmentlayers. They show up and work inside Camera RAW. But only some show up in Lightroom.Any ideas?

Hello,I try to import files into LrC from the Download folder, but doesn't show them.The import worked for several months normally, sometimes it already showed this problem. But after restarting it was fixed. But know the problem is stable, the import doesn't work with anything - whether a different folder, nor a conncected device.I'm working with Mac OS Catalina, LrC 10.0, and LrC has granted full access to the hard disk, so this couldn't be the source of the problem.Has anybody an idea to solve this?Thx!

Dear fellow Lightroom users,I have suddenly come across a problem in Lightroom with the images looking way oversharpened in the Develop module.This problem definitely just emerged in the last two weeks since I last edited a photo, it was all fine before.Just for clarification, I use both a Panasonic MFT camera as well as a Sony A7 and I only shoot RAW images. Problems occur on all images from both cameras. There are no presets or other settings applied on import. In the library view, all my pictures look perfectly fine. As soon as I switch to Develop mode, the image displayed in 1:1 ratio looks highly oversharpened, as if I would have upped the setting from 40 (default) to 80 or higher.But in the small preview window within the "details" toolbox, the image shows the correct amount of sharpening.To clarify, the image looks less sharp in the details box then in the main develop window. If I switch back to library, the image again looks correctly sharpened. Exported images are also f

My raw images look completely different between the Library and Develop modules.  Libary looks more flat and green, Develop looks oversaturated in the reds/cyan. I went back and looked at shoots from a few months ago and there is no problems between the modules.  Nothing changed in my cameras, so it has to be a Lr problem. I also checked my laptop, which has 13.0.01 (my problem is with my desktop, which has 14.0.01) and there is no problem with the same image. How can I fix this??  Rolling back to 13.0.01 would, I assume, cause a lot of problems as this entire catalog has been updated to 14.   

Desde hace poco, el catalogo de lightroom me hace cosas raras al importar. Me crea las carpetas fuera del catalogo y otras cosas raras. En mi disco duro aparece bien. 

Why does my new macbook pro not recognise my raw files on LRC 

Hello everyone, I'm really curious about the decisions behind the app updates and their differences, whether they are intentional or not. Why when I'm using masks on ACR or Lr and they need to be updated I get a pop up as a notification with a button to update the masks and instead on LrC I've just to care about a little red dot near the mask icon, I've to enter in the masks module, I've to select a mask and then I can choose to update them?!?I really don't understand these differences, expecially in an app like LrC which seems to be declared the most complete.

I have some old Microsoft .MIX images and wonder if it is possible to convert these images to .JPG.  I use Lightroom and Photoshop on my iMac, but these .MIX files are not recognised.Grateful for any suggestions.Thanks  

My hard drive crashed. I had a new hard drive installed. I have LR Classic installed. I need to find out how to restore a LR Catalog Backup. I would appreciate any assistance.

I shoot RAW format with a Z8 and am running LrC 13.5.1. Starting out-of-the-blue with no obvious changes from before, some, but not all, of the images imported do not have EXIF data. The odd images say that the metadata "have been changed" and show only the pixel dimensions of the image. This causes lots of problems to have incomplete EXIF data. Why some images and not the adjacent image I have no clue and have seen no pattern. Anyone else run into this or have suggestions for sorting it out? Thanks

I just opened Library after updating to 14.0.1 and images appear as duplicates 1of2 and 2of2. The "2" is the "developed" (virtual) image. When I choose "show image in finder" both images link to the same original.    Why has this happened?  How do I fix it?  Going throught thousands of images and deleting the virtual copies and re-doing the deveop settings is simply not going to happen.    System: 2021 Macbook Pro, OS 14.5   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

Greetings. The problem I'm having is that the "auto" option in the BASIC tab is disabled. Only after several changes between photos it can be used.  LR Classic: 14.0.1

Hi, I have been trying to migrate my lightroom photos and edits to a new pc (in Lightroom classic). I have managed to transfer the photos, but everytime I try and import a catalog from preferences or edits (and the correct location on my hard drive) it says "No photos found", or you need to "upgrade catalog". Any ideas please? 

Ever since I updated to the latest version of Lightroom (14.0.1) every time I select mask it crashes immediately. Is this a known issue and is there a fix? If not what version would I need to roll back to to get the previous mask option?

Bonjour,J'essaie d'importer des photos dans Lightroom classic, mais les photos ne s'affichent pas.Quelqu'un sait comment régler mon problème?

Auto Import Preferences are set to:Watched Folder: Pictures\01 Auto ImportDestination Folder: The folder of images being edited (I change this each time that changes)Move to Folder is specified as 'PS Edits', since I am editing PS (Beta version 26.1), and I have the file naming set to simply a space and the letter 'p' to the filename In Photoshop I select File>Scripts>Image Processor and process the file to be saved to the above 'Auto Import folder:I then Run to run the process. The file goes to the '01 Auto Import' folder as specified in the processor, but instead of it moving to the folder specified in LrC's Auto Import Preferences, a folder called "JPEG" is created as a sub folder within the '01 Auto Import' folder and the image is saved there:Nowhere in LrC is that location specified to move the file to and this basically corrupts the Auto Import process. It was working in the last version of LrC so this appears to be a bug in 14.0.1  

Today I decided to move from an old version of Lightroom to the latest Classic and CC and begin syncing all of my platforms but then all of sudden the "People" option showed up and before I was given any sort of an option Lightroom Classic began going through my photos and assigning identities to all of the faces, of my family, friends, clients...people whom I cherish and respect their privacy!  I found an option to pause this activity but the progress bar continued regardless!  I contacted online support whom showed me how to uncheck this option in preferences but that still did not stop the progress bar.  How do I stop this private information being taken from me, my family, friends and clients, whom were all not given any sort of option to remain anonymous?  And how do I get back and erase the identity information that has been stolen from me?While I've been a long time Adobe user and fan, this is definitely a line I won't cross...and not only will I discontinue

How come my lens blue feature in LR CC doesnt work? I cant figure out why

Before changing from a windows 10 computer to a new windows 11 one I copied myLR catalog and associated files to a hard disk and plugged it into the new computer, but when I double click on the LRCAT file Lightroom seems to open but it just says this folder does not contain editable files. All the contents of the folder containing the catalog are listed (sync and data files) but the LRCAT itself does not appear and there doesn't seem to be any way to get to it.  

Have been using LR Classic for a while on my MacBook Air, 2022 with M2 chip and 8 GB Memory.  273 Gb Storage available. But - lately I have been getting a message when I have LR running in background:  "Your system has run out of application memory" and I need to close LR to run anything, such as Safari, Mail, etc.   It shows me the memory being used, and all are smallish Mb numbers, but LR Classic shows as 39 GB.  And it keeps getting larger - when I first looked it showed 39.10, then a few minutes later 30.700, then 39.78, then 39.81. What's going on? Thanks
