Lightroom Classic

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

I can not import .jpeg and .mp4 files into Lightroom since the last update (lightroom classic v 14.01, running on Windos 10 on my PC) I still can import .NEF and .DNG files. Is this a known bug or can it be aan setting issue in my system? Wim Spijkervet   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

It just sites at "import files at their current location".  If i cancel, it shows many videos were not able to be imported.  Docs say that failed imports are logged so canceling shouldn't mean that on the next import the same files are attempted for re-import.  Is there a codec issue?  I'd be ok skipping videos but when you select a top level folder there isn't an easy way to specify file types or extensions to ignore.  I think if i kept import going for the next couple of weeks, i'll see progress but know there must be a way to minimize time it takes to go through the videos.  Photos, on the other hand seem to import at a reasonable rate.

After the recent update to version 14.0.1, the import hangs after 125 photos.Windows 10

Before the recent update, AI Denoise (in Lightroom Classic on my MacBook Air M1) was working fine on all my images, but ever since it updated, when I try to use Denoise, it will load almost all the way and then when the loading bar is nearly full and then crashes and throws me back to saying there is no image selected and the image is not denoised when I click back into it.  I have tried contacting adobe help several times but nothing has done anything for it and it still crashes just the same. I have no idea what to do to fix this. 

Wacom Intuos PTK 640 and pen will not move Lightroom sliders. I can tap the slider but can't slide it. Windows 10 and lightroom are all up to date. Uninstalled and reinstalled my Wacom and no luck. Any other thoughts? BTW Windows Ink, disabled or enabled..no difference.

Masks dont work, for example if I move the shadows slider affects all masks at once. Problems with adobe lightroom version 12.2.1

Hi All,The issue has shown up for me since I updated to Lightroom 13.5 and still exits in 14. Whenever I quit lightroom and re-open it forgets all of the previews that are generated for the catalog. This means I have to regenerate the previews every time. The previews file exists in the same directory as the catalog, but for some reason isn't making use of it. I have tried deleting the previews file and starting over but the same issue occurs. Not sure if anyone has any ideas? Lightroom 14.0.1 on Mac OS Sequoia 15.0.1

Someone please help! I'm desperate here. I have a Mac book pro and using the new version of LRC up to date.. I got an error message stating that my Mac was unable to repair the disc ( my external hard drive that has my catalog and photos on)The error also says I can copy and open files on the disc but unable to save changes to the disc. I did make a backup of the catalog and copied it to a diff external drive before this happened. The backup is a zip because it's so large. I am so behind already in my editing and I need this to get up and working! I tried opening Lightroom and it said it was corrupted and unable to repair. I then made a new catalog and am currently trying to import the backed up catalog. Is this the right thing to to do? Or do I have to start all over and re import my albums and presets etc, have I lost all my edits? I want to crawl in a hole lol Any help is much much appreciated!! 

For many months now I have been experiencing an issue when doing any one of the subjected issues (applying a mask layer, toggleing the layer and clicking before and after of file). A lagging that one at first might put down to a lack of CPU, MEMORY or Disk Space. However I am using an, Acer Swift x 14" laptop - intel® core™ i7, 1 tb ssd. With, Installed RAM: 16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable) a 64-bit operating system and ambient. Without Lightroom Classic open, my system processes sit at, CPU 2%, 40% Memory, 0% Disk and 0% Network.   Once opened, this data reads at, CPU 4%, 67% Memory, 0% Disk and 0% Network.   There has been various suggestions in multiple formums to look at Performance settings. I have custom Grapics Proccesor in use and I have set my Camera Raw Cache to 50GB.   Information about what I edit. I shoot RAW and JPEG files (at the same time) on a Canon R5. My average file size estimates at, 50GB. I have the up to date version of LrC and my sys

ich bin Hobbyfotograf und arbeite auf einem Imac Mini. Ich habe fast 300.000 Fotos im jpeg Format in einem Katalog. Ich würde gerne weiterhin nur in einem Katalog arbeiten, aber im Moment ist LRC so langsam. Ich markiere ein Foto und bis ich sehen kann. dass ich es wirklich markiert habe, vergehen einige Sekunden. Es macht überhaupt keinen Spaß mehr. Kann es an dem Plug-In Excire Search liegen? oder sind es tatsächlich einfach zuviele Fotos - aber laut Community können es durchaus bis zu 1.000.000.000 Fotos in einem Katalog sein.  Hat irgendjemand eine Idee, was ich tun kann?

I'm using the AI Denoise feature in Lightroom Classic on an M1 Macbook Air with 16GB RAM. The resulting image has dark squares spread throughout the image. Here's a screenshot of what I'm seeing - I raised the exposure a few stops to make the boxes more obvious:  Things I've tried so far: - Rebooted system- Tried all possible permutations of graphics acceleration, from fully disabled to fully enabled- Downgraded Lightroom Classic to n-1 and n-2 versions- Tried using Lightroom Cloud insteadAt this point, I'm at a loss, and can't process these photos. 

Witam wszystkich.mam pytanko odnośnie importowania zdjęć. Posiadam dysk zewn.na ktorym mam zdjęcia z wakacji.Są to tylko pliki Raw i cala zawartość to prawie 40giga. W jaki sposób powinienem zaimpor.zdjecia tak aby mi ich nigdzie więcej nie kopiowało na zaden dysk c czy partycje. Probowalem te zdjęcia zaimportować ale jak zauwazylem, ze pojemność dysku c zmniejsza sie jak szalona to zaprzestalem. Czy jest wogole taka możliwość aby lightroom brał tylko "ścieżkę " z miejsca importowanego i ich dodatkowo kosztem dysku nie kopiowal? Bede bardzo wdzieczny za podpowiedź co mam zaznaczyc podczas importu

Hello everyone. I'm having the "classic" problem with Lightroom classic that many others have had. LRC won't open a newly created catalogue.Here's the background: I am working with someone to edit multiple photos. She copied all of her files to a Google Drive folder for me to download and continue working. I downloaded ALL of the catalogue files, tried opening the .lrcat file (with all of the other ones in the same folder) but keep getting that pesty error pop up.I also tried the Adobe solution by opening the package of the lrcat-data file and deleting "CURRENT", then restarted LRC to no avail. Same error. This has happened virtually every time before when I've downloaded someone else's files from GD.What gives?

LRC vsn 14.0.1, Mac IOS Sequoia 15.0.1LRC seems to have lost the pointer to my Watermark signature preset folder. Is there a way to reconnect it? I'd really rather not try to recreate all these if at all possible! Here is a screenshot of the path...  

I have paid my creative cloud membership and photoshop opens perfectly on my computer. Lightroom Classic however is not opening, it sends a lot of crash reports. Where is the problem?

Ich habe ein Jahres Abo Lightroom, Photoshop, das ende März 2025 endet. Seit heute habe ich nach einem erfolgten Backup das Problem, das ich zwar die Proramme starten kann, aber durch eine Einblendung, siehe angehängte Datei, komme ich nicht zu meinen Fotos. Sobald ich diese Einblendung weg klicke, schließt das Programm wieder. Könnte ich durch eine Deinstalation und erneuter Instalation, das Problem lösen und werden meine Fotos wieder verfügbar sein?Vielleicht hat jemand eine Idee!

Hello, Since Adobe chat can't help me (the engineer just closed the chat because he simply didn't know anymore what to do?) I'm asking here for help. I've used Lightroom for a while, but had issues with slow responsivness, sometimes crashing etc..So I installed 2 weeks ago Lightroom Classic, but it has more or less the same issues.It is slow, not so responsive and sometimes my screen flickers, go dark, photo's freeze during post processing in pixels, .. and exporting is after 10 sec freezing and LRC is crashing. I have a performant system:- AMD 5800X3D- 32 GB ram 3200Mhz- Nvidia 3090 24GB- W11 2H22 all updates done- drivers of all components are up to date Someone that had semiliar issues and can point me in a direction?  Not the standard things like, updates, reinstall GPU drivers, ...  I used LRc on way less performant systems, and it worked like a charm.  I don't know what is going on.

Hey Everyone,I have just updated Lightroom Classic to the latest version and tried to Enable the new GPU image processing feature. When I go to the feature however the 'use GPU for image processing (Process version 5 or higher)' option is greyed out.I have checked the suggested specs and can see that I meet them, I am currently on Windows 10 pro x64 running dual SLI Nvidia GTX 780's with the latest Nvidia driver as show below:Video Card DetailsSuggested Cards from GPU FAQI have read through the Adobe article (Adobe Lightroom GPU Troubleshooting and FAQ) and tried all mentioned workarounds/fixes, I have also turned off Dual SLI but the option is still greyed out as shown below. Has anyone else experienced this issue and can provide some insight? any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks in AdvanceAdriano

Hi,  I'm unable to install lightroom despite having the required system:ProcessorIntel(R) Core(TM) i9-9900K CPU @ 3.60GHzVideo CardNVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090Operating SystemWindows 10 22H2RAM32 GB

I updated LRC tto the latest version last night, since then the denoise module is useless, its super slow and freezes at the end.  I tried to find a link or email  to report bugs but I guess Adobe wont let ou email them. The AI chat is pretty frustrating and useless as well. 

Lightroom 12.3 has become unuseable this afternoon. It keeps freezing. It doesn't respond to anything I try to do with my mouse. All other apps are working fine. I can't even exit the program and have to use Task Manager to quit Lightroom.  I tried rebooting my Windows 11 computer but that doesn't help.  As soon as I start Lightroom it freezes.  Can someone please help.

Why did adobe take away the ability to move and make adjustments to a mask once it has been applied? It is a huge inconvenience not being able to move a mask, especially if you are batch editing and syncing settings on multiple photos. Minor adjustments sometimes need to be made. Now with the masks locked I have to delete and create a new one for every photo. Please share if anyone knows a workaround to unlock the masks.
