Lightroom Classic

Hi,   I use LR Classic to import photos and sync them to LR Cloud. In LR Cloud i tag, edit, etc so i can share it with other people. But for quite some time now, my LR Classic isnt syncing anymore. The sync process is stuck and there are 20000 photos pending. I've already checked if there any file with sync problems (Preferences/Sync Tab) and there are none.   Can anyone help to fix this issue?   [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]

Lightroom has never been incredible agile but the latest version are horrible to work with. taks that took seconds now are taking minutes and as soon as I start a task in lightroom it freezes my computer. Photoshop or other video applications that consume more resources work fine.  Is there any option to live support? all the options for calls is to sell not support

I'm new to the web-based version of LrC (used LR5 years ago) and have just imported my first folder and created a collection to get my LrC legs under me again.  I'm not really interested in saving the little bit of work that I did in LR5 (I've been in a photo hobby drought for years due to work demands) so I'm starting with a clean slate, so to speak.  I've always held my original file photos on my laptop internal drive which I've backed up (dragged and dropped) onto two external SSDs.  It's been a while, but I recall just backing up my catalog to the default internal drive location (I know, risky business, but I'm learning).  Reading through quite a number of posts on catalog backup methods, I'm wondering if, after backing up my catalog internally, if it's okay to just back up/replace the entire Lightroom folder (drag and drop) onto the external SSDs, or is that even appropriate.  Also, since I'm importing from my internal drive into LrC, if/when it fails, wou

I'm using Version 13.3 of LRC on a PC, Windows 11.  I am unable to open any of my saved catalog backups.  When I click on the zip file, I get the following error message.  I am storing my backup catalogs on my OneDrive so they are also backed up to the cloud.  I have set the permisssions on the LRC folder in my Onedrive to full access - read/write/edit.  I would greatly appreciate any advice!  

Twice now I've had to spend 2 hours relinking one folder at a time because LRC forgot where my phtos are. It's tedious and actually phuysically painful from the perspective of repetitive stress injury.  It does not seem complex that once we've pointed LRC to the root folder that ALL the folders and photos are in it should be able to read the names of the folders and files and relink them automatically.  In my opinion, having to do this manually is a nightmare and the very worse thing about using LRC. FIxing this would be a major upgrade and I would think be a priority becuase it's an issue of foundational functionality (as oppsed to having AI stick a bird in a photo for example). Im not a programmer so I don't know.....but this seems straight forward...... Thanks for listening. Comments? 

LR Classic doesn't show properly synchonized files in folder structure for Mobile Downloads. Files are there.   Steps to reproduce:  Add photos in Lightroom mobile (Android tablet or iPhone); Add them to a Collection (create new album if needed).  Open LR Classic on Windows Desktop.  Observe LR correctly syncing the Collection and downloading the files in sub-folder structure in the "Mobile Downloads.lrdata"; You can navigate to folder location from the Collection; You can see count next to the folder name; In Collections you will see the image:  From the photo in the folder select "Go to folder in Library"; You will see an empty folder (but the tree shows content)   Files are indeed there (via "Show in Explorer"): Expected: Photos are properly listed in the view.   Note: You can also "Synchronize folder" and "Show missing photos" and get to the list of files in the folder. They are not missing; You can move/copy/edit them from the list.   [mo

Can I install an older version of Lightroom Classic to work with Catalina ?

Hi,I have had to reinstall windows and all apps after a significant hardware failure.I have had LRC and LRMogrify for several years and never had this problem before.I am trying to export 2 files from LRC 13.4 with LR Mogrify text anotations:CC25-07-24 (15).ARWCC25-07-24 (12).jpgExport as TIF or JPG there are no issues, export as PNG the following error occurs. The export settings are identical for each other than a change of extension.The export post-processing filter failed to render the file.

Running Lightroom on an Mac. My Mac was running out of storage space I needed to move entire Picture Folder to an external hard drive. How do I reconfigure Lightroom so it knows to look at the external drive when using Lightroom so it is not looking at the internal IMac hard drive? Light room files etc were in Pictures folder. Any steps on how to do this would be appreciated.

See: https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/cr-sdk-00554910-tmp-grows-very-large-user-appdata-local-temp/m-p/13857318#M325246 I've observed a very strange behaviour with LrC when using the new Enhance Noise Reduction feature.For some reason, when I run the noise reduction on a large selection of photos (200+) (photos filtered by HighISO metadata i.e. anything above 3200) at some point Lightroom seems to start writing to my boot drive like crazy:This results in a very large file, that fills my C: drive completely:Curiously, the file-size is only visible in the explorer, once lightroom stops the AI Denoising because it "ran out of memory" or if the User cancels the process once. Keep in mind, that this trashing of the OS-Drive DOES NOT happen prior to some arbitrary number of photos (another community member tested with 35 photos). I haven't pinpointed exactly after how many photos the app starts to misbehave, but it is probably around 100-150+ photos. C s

Je traite un fichier panoramique en PSB dans LR et je l'exporte en JPG dans LR. Un aperçu est alors généré pour le JPG. Si je modifie les réglages du PSB et que je le réexporte en JPG dans LR, il arrive que l'aperçu reste le même et ne reflète donc pas la modification. Que faire ? Peut-on régénérer un aperçu manuellement ?

Hello, I performed the Lightroom CC Classic upgrade, and when it asked to upgrade the catalog, of course I clicked yes. Now the program opens, and there are zero photos in the catalog. I can navigate to only two ircat files now, and they are both brand new files with zero images. My original catalogs are gone! ???? Please help!

The command "Edit in Photoshop" doesn't work with the new update or when reverting to a previous version. When I run that option, all it does is switch the window to Photoshop, and then nothing happens; it just stays there. Photoshop isn't frozen, and neither is Lightroom; nothing happens. Since updating to this version, I've encountered error after error. I have more issues, but the post would be too long.   Im running windows 10 with a fairly powerful system.   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.

I recently had to create a new catalogue but new images won't sync with Lightroom mobile app.  I can see that it is trying to sync but nothing happens. When I first started using Lightroom Classic the images from the original catalogue synced with the Lightroom mobile app without much problem. Now I'm not sure that I have the right location for the new catalogue specified. It shows Lightroom Catalog New Helper.Irdata. Is this the correct file to sync from? See screen shots attached.Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone,I am trying to edit a photo to photoshop from Lightroom. But I can't see anymore the pop up menu - "edit original; edit a copy; edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments". It open the photo straight to PS.  After I did some correctionon to the photo, I clicked save and it appered  a pop menu to ask me where I want to save it.  In the past It never  appeaired  before that and one I clicked save the copy with the adjustment was directely visible on LC.  I do have the app updates and I work on a MAC-PRO 2023. How can I fix this? Thank you so much,Fede

I have a huge problem, been using LRC for more then 5 years and this never happens before, I was editing photos from last wedding and now when i try to export the selected photos, the export menu window just wont show up, i try restarting pc for more than 2 times, but nothing, also i found out that few photos wont show in the develop window - they are grey - blank i have the newest version of LRC possible for my macbook pro M2 - 14.4.1 (23E224) osLightroom Classic version: 13.4 [ 202406181129-60d181b7 ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: cs-CZOperating system: Mac OS 14

Hello,Using Lightroom Classic V.13.4 (Windows10 last version) i imported a set of pictures into LR and made some operations on them but not all (sort - add sequence - GPS matches etc ...). Nb : Some operations (like metadatas) update directly original files.When i compare the weight of the directory before import and after export, the exported directory was much greater than the original (ie. 7. 63 GB versus 6.28GB originally). This may be logical.But then i investigated on one picture that was originally geolocalised and i discovered that - original picture is 2.7MB with horizontal resolution 72 PPP and vertical resolution 72 PPP- exported picture is 4.35MB  with horizontal resolution 240 PPP and vertical resolution 240 PPPIs that normal ? Would that means that the exported picture is better than the original ? May be i did something wrong ?Any feedback will be appreciated (sorry for my poor english)Best regards

Hallo,ich habe viele Bilder eingescannt und bin dabei die Personenerkennung zu nutzen.Nutzt das jemand von Euch und ist damit zufrieden? Ich finde die Erkennungsrate ist im besten Fall in einem Beta-Status. Da werden Büsche als vermeintliche Gesichter erkannt. In unserem Hund wird auch einmal ein bekannter Politiker erkannt usw. Adobe baut ständig neue Features in Ligthroom und die vorhandenen Funktionen werden gegenüber Mitbewerbsprodukten immer grottiger. Aber preislich wird ordentlich abgegriffen! Das musste ich jetzt einfach mal los werden.

Hi, I use an Imac  Sonoma 14.5 and when using Lightroom Classic the below message comes up : When investigating I find the folder "pictures" within "users" that contains all the backups. Normally I ignore the message, but now I notice the picturequality of the website I was exporting was inadequate. Also yesterday when I imported a new folder, no pictures were imported, just a set of plain colours. obviously something is very wrong.

I would like to set a default for import so that sharpening and noise are zero on import.  Everything I read says to set them, then alt right click on reset at the bottom which should prompt you to set these as the default.  However on 11.3.1 that is not the case.  Other than creating a preset and applying that on import that has it zeroed out is there a way to stop LR Classic from applying sharpening and noise reduction on import by setting new defaults? Thanks

Hi,  I'm desperate to find an answer because I put in so much work.. but I recent did a whole heaps of editing, then closed Lr. When I reopened to resume editing, none of my edits are showing. It's also mega slow.. like some of the thumbnails aren't even showing or loading properly. So I'm doing a clean up and seeing if that helps, but is it possible they just didn't save?? 

Hello everyone!When using the "Visualise Spots" feature I notice that as soon as I start "drawing" the selection over the spots, a lot of them (the smaller ones) suddenly disappear and only re-appear when the cursor moves in their general direction or gets closer.It's like Lightroom Classic is switching to a low-res preview image of the photo while the selection is being made and only when the cursor gets close it switches to a higher quality or higher resolution of that area.Naturally that's very annoying, it should not change until I've finished making my selection. Of course it's not that big of a deal when you're using a mouse and when you click every individual spot, but when using a graphics tablet to select or draw over larger areas it's really quite unexpected and unwanted behaviour.

System Information: LRC 13.4, Windows 10, Nvidia RTX 2070 Super   After updating to LR C 13.4 it is not longer possible to sort files manually in collections. I used this funtion daily. It does not matter. The drag and drop just does not work, neither with one or many selected images. It is the same problem in all collections, not only in one   I deactivated the GPU, still not possible to manually sort files, I activated the GPU, still the same. I rebooted the system, closed LR and opened it again, recreated the previews, it did not help   Sorting by the predefined paramters like creation date works fine!   Martin   Any clue what is going on? Any workaround?   [moved from bugs to discussion according to the community rules - Mod.]
