Lightroom Classic

Hello everyone, I realize this issue has been discussed before, but I still haven't found the information I need. I am using Windows 10 as my operating system, and I store my Lightroom catalog and raw images on my D Drive, while Lightroom is installed on my C Drive (which is the same as the OS) - both fast 1B m.2 nvme.I plan to implement the 3-2-1 backup strategy and would like to have a grab-and-go capability. In the event of a disaster (like a fire or an earthquake), I want to be able to quickly grab my external storage and run. I also intend to back up my documents to the same drive for that reason.For this purpose, I want to add an external drive and a cloud backup. My current question concerns the external drive, and I’ve identified three methods:1. Use the "Export This Folder as Catalog" option from within Lightroom.*Pros:* - This will copy all my raw images and the catalog to an external drive and update the catalog, allowing me to work from it immediately.- *Cons:*&nb

LRC freezing up and causing "App Memory Exceeded" alerts on my iMAC. (2017)...help!

Recently LR classic crashes periodically. I have a fairly new computer with 32 gig of ram. No other programs are opened while using it except Windown. Any one have this problem and a solution? Thanks

Hi,  I work with two Computers / Installations and Accounts.  And one shows a hirachiy the other does not. Support of Excire tells me this is native beahaviour of Lightroom as soon as Keywords and Tags are within a different hirachy. Can anyone tell me what to do to get rid of this hirachy within Lightroom Classic.  See the XMP shows nothing which I could identify as a reason that the behavior of both installations is differently showing the Tags.    Where can I adjust this in Lightroom Classic to NOT show the hirachy. You see the difference on the last two pictures. Best Regards Timo 

Ich habe Win11 vor einem Monat installiert und es gibt seitdem das Problem.Grafikkarte: Nivdia Quatro GForce RTX 3000 Laptop GPU 8 GB.Die Treiber sind laut Linovo und GForce aktuell. Treiberversion: 31.0.15.3878 vom 10.06.2024Laut meiner Beobachtung über den Task-Manager -> Leistung, kommt die Grafikkarte selten an ihre Leistungs-Grenzen und trotzdem friert LrC ein!Wer weiss die Lösung, wäre für mich sehr hilfreich!Danke im Vorraus!Johann

I have created a sub-catalog with some raw file. I then save it to an external drive and remove the original folder. I then import the sub-catalog and edit one of the raw file. How do I save the edit. I try setting the (Edit > Catalog setting > Automatically write changes into XMP) and also (Metadata > Save Metadata to file) to create a xmp file but when I re-import the sub-catalog, the preview show the new edit but when I go to "Develop", it revert to the edit when I originally created the sub-catalog. I also try using "Export as catalog" to create/update the catalog without saving the raw since it is on the external drive but nothing get updated in the external drive/folder. I think it is a bug or a feature not put in. If you know of a way to proceed or a new update, do let me know.   System: Windows 10 Lightroom Classic v 13.5.1   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

Click to Zoom suddenly lightroom changes to people search. How do I reset it?

When I filter on portrait aspect photos and set the crop it to 1x1, the screen goes black.  I've tried 3 other defined crops without an issue.  Once the screen is black, other selections within the panel are no longer availalbe and escape doesn't work.  I can go back to the grid (G) or press undo multiple times to get back to a non-black screen. I'm using a Mac running Sonoma 14.6.1 and LR classic 13.5.1 Is this a bug?

My hard drive failed and I no longer have the original files to my imports in LRC. I've tried to extract previews, but I dont have them either. I can't find anything on the internet that has been helpful. I even backup my catalogs each week but going to those folders hasnt helped. What do I do?

Lightroom Classic using all my Ram,cannot understand why its using 15gb of 16gb ram on my Macbook Pro M2.

Habe einen neuen Laptop, um im Urlaub Fotos bearbeiten zu können. Läuft unter Win 11, habe den alten Desktop (Win 10) auf LR C 13.5 upgedatet und 13.5 auch am Laptop installiert. Habe am Laptop einen neuen Katalog kreiert, habe dort im Urlaub täglich Fotos importiert und bearbeitet. Daheim habe ich alle Bilder rüberkopiert, synchronisiert (alles erfolgreich) und dann (über Netzwerkverbindung) aus dem am Laptop gespeicherten Katalog importiert. Es kommt eine Fehlermeldung ("unbekannter Fehler ..."), es sind aber alle Entwicklungseinstellungen übertragen worden - mit Ausnahme der Freistellungsüberlagerung, und Stapel wurden auch nicht übernommen. Da ich viele Panoramen aus jeweils bis zu 10 Fotos dabei habe, ist das äußerst lästig, weil ich bei jedem Panorama wieder die Freistellung festlegen und dann die Ausgangsfotos in den Stapel darunter legen muss. Habe die unterschiedlichen Bildschirmauflösungen verdächtigt, an beiden Geräten die gleiche Auflösung eingestellt, das Resultat ist das

Hi guys! I just got my first Fuji camera, a GFX 50R. From what i understand lightroom should have camera matching profiles that match Fuji's film simulations in Lightroom but they dont show up in my profile browser? As you see in the screen grab its a fuji RAF file, which should have the camera matching profiles? Thanks for any help   

When importing RAW files from either Canon or Fuji cameras, many of the sliders in the Develop module have values other than zero. I have no Develop Settings to apply during Import at all in that menu. Additionally, I cannot simply click on the individual slider cursors to zero them out. Reset button does nothing. I have to manually reset each value by clicking into the window and typing "0". LR 13.5.1MacBook Pro M2 Pro 64 GBOS 15.0.1 (but the problem was occuring in the previous OS as well)Is this a bug or another setting I can access to control this?

Hi there, I am a wedding photograph and I usually outsource the culling/selection of the wedding photos. I do this by sending the person in question the catalogue with the photos and smart previews. When I create the cataloque, however, I also create "medium" previews. Here's my question: If I send the person who is does my culling the previews in addition to the smart previews, will it help their computer go faster when culling? I can't send them all of the raws because it would take forever, but I can send them the previews file if it helps them. I hope this question makes sense. Thanks!Matt

Szenario:1. Rate images in Bridge.2. Import directory of images into LrC.3. ReRate images in Bridge.4. LrC does not see updates, but directory must be removed and newly re-imported. Q: Is there a way not having to re-do step 4 every time one re-rates images? 

Hi everyone, I have a problem with my develop page. When I move from one image to another in Lightroom Classic, the page reloads twice and this is really annoying. Is there a solution? I also think this appeared in the 13.5 update

Hallo zusammen, ich wollte auf einem Macbook (macOs High Sierra 10.13.6) Lightroom 6 per DVD installieren.Zuvor war auf dem Rechner Lightroom 5 installiert. Alles lief ohne Probleme. Was ich gemacht habe: Lightroom 5 deinstalliert. Und zwar habe ich das Lightroom Icon einfach nur in den Papierkorb verschoben.  Danach habe ich Lightroom 6 installiert. Leider bekomme ich immer folgende Fehlermeldung (siehe Anhang.) Der Computer ist aber mit dem Internet verbunden und Uhrzeit und Datum sind korrekt eingestellt. Wenn ich auf dieser Fehlermeldung auf "Support" klicke, steht dort, meine Seriennummer wäre ungültig? Die Software wurde aber zuvor noch nirgendwo installiert. Ich hoffe auf Hilfe. Lightroom lässt sich derzeit überhaupt nicht mehr öffnen (da die 7 Tage Testversion abgelaufen ist) Danke und Grüße     

I've never found a workflow that works well in my use case — hoping some of you all can help:1) Shooting Tethered to a desktop (Lightroom Classic)2) Sometimes Processing on that Machine but...3) Sometimes need to process on a second machine I'd prefer to keep everything in Classic (since the tools aren't quite the same between them, and I have a different license on the second machine anyway). The online editor doesn't work very well for my needs. I'm fine connecting the machines to transfer images, but want to make it simple, fast and seamless. Any thoughts are much appreciated!

I was looking through the SDK documentation and cannot find a way to Paste Previous via the SDK. Am I missing something?
