Lightroom Classic

I just upgraded to v 14 Lightroom classic and I cannot backup any of my 20 lightroom catalogs anymore after the upgrade. I get always this message: (Lightroom was unable to back up the catalog named "Lightroom Catalog-v13.5") please check your folder permissions, and make sure that you have available space on your backup drive and main catalog's drive. My permissions are fine, I have enough space left in my main catalog drive and my external backup drive where I stored all my backups perfectly fine until this new update. I back up on an external 8Tb drive with 5TB free. Also why when it has upgraded to v14 it still wants to save as v13.5 Ohhhhh upgrades are always such a pain......... Anybody has this happen to them too?

Just reinstalled creative cloud and lightroom on my computer. we have done a system upgrade and I have had lightroom on this computer before and it worked great. WE have upgraded the system to Windows 10 and lightroom still won't work. I have been reading troubleshooting blogs for over a week now and have tried numerous things. I have uninstalled and reinstalled lightroom probably 10 times. I have signed in and out of creative cloud 2758905382 times. I have deleted all associated old files from previous versions of lightroom. I have the latest up to date driver. At first I couldn't develop a picture. It would crash when I would copy settings. Then it started crashing after I woudl click to edit the next picture. Then I deleted a bunch of things and then it wouldn't import images (which I discovered was apparently because I had my printer plugged in??). Resolved the import issue but still can only edit one photo at a time and then it crashes. I used a Nikon d7100 with RAW files. Please

Hi! Not sure if this is a bug, or something I have to change in my preferences! I've just done the recent update and I am trying to export a photo and it choose also the one next to it and it export them both. Thank you in advance!

I've been syncing a lot of photos during the last year between my Lightroom Classic (13.5.1) and iPhone but suddenly this process stopped working. Can't find the problem, anyone who can help me?It only say: "syncing" but nothing happens for hours. Sometimes it works when i shut down Lightroom on my computer but then when I select new photos to sync it stops again.Mac OS Monteray 12.7.5iPhone 15 Pro iOS 17.6.1

  Since a few days I have a problem with enhancing/denoising; all colour images (RAW/ARW/RW2/JPG/CR2) are displayed in only black/white "enhanced/denoised", have already reset Lightroom 12.5 (ABO until 2024), don't know why this suddenly no longer works.

I have just upgraded to Lightroom Classic v14.0. When I quit the program and get the prompt to backup I try to backup. But it will not backup. I get a box stating that Lightroom can't backup. This is happening on both my MacBook Pro and Mac Pro. Both computers are running macOS 14.7 Sonoma. Is anybody else experencing this? Thanks.

All my edit history is gone after upgrading to version 14.0 in Lightroom Classic.I've been trying back ups from the days before. When I try one from before it says that I have to upgrade to a newer version. What do I do??

I just updated LrC today (14.0 release).  Now, the images that I've edited/masked/denoise'd are not being exported (to .jpg) by LrC with those edits.  Didn't ever have this issue prior to this app update.  I need to export these photos with the edits ASAP for a client! macOS: Sonoma (14.6.1)Adobe Lightroom Classic    - 14.0 release    - Build [202410032041-b815649f]

The black photo is the original. I turned up exposure, shadows, and blacks all the way up, and it just looks really weird... any way to save these photos? 😞

Hi all, I wanted to share my frustration with Lightroom Classic because I’ve been having a really tough time since Version 13. It’s been super slow for months now, and it’s making it hard to use for my photography work. I have 64GB of RAM on my Apple Silicon device, and it used to run like a dream. But since upgrading to Version 13, it takes forever to import photos, adjust sliders, and render previews. The lag is really frustrating and is messing with my deadlines. The new version 14 is only worse. I’ve tried everything I can think of to fix it, but nothing has worked. It’s disappointing that this has been going on for so long. If anyone else is dealing with this or has any ideas, I’d love to hear from you! I really hope Adobe is aware of the issue and is working on a fix (we know they wont). For subscription charges they're fast tough. Thanks for your time! Best,Daniel

Looking to update my Export plugin to include a Content Credentials section in the export dialog but the SDK referenced shows no mention of what the entry in exportServiceProvider.showSections would be. Anyone know?

Hi,I have a question regarding HDR editing and export in the newest update to Lightroom.I've been testing it since yesterday, and in general, it works great—as long as I'm working on HDR displays and also viewing the exported files on an HDR display (e.g., on an iPhone or the internal HDR display on my MacBook). However, I've noticed that exported AVIF or JPG XL files are heavily clipped when displayed on a non-HDR display, such as the Apple Studio display.This behavior is different compared to HDR pictures created by the iPhone camera. Those show extended highlights when displayed on an HDR display but also exhibit nice tone mapping when displayed on a non-HDR display.I even tested it with Lightroom: I imported an HDR HEIF made on an iPhone into Lightroom, and Lightroom displayed it nicely in HDR during editing. I then exported it back to Apple Photos as an HDR AVIF. On the iPhone and MacBook HDR displays, the original and exported files looked essentially the same. However, when I mo

I am trying to merge 4 HDR photos at a time in a series of 16 so that I can then merge to Panoramic.  The photos were taken with bracketing on automatically in my Canon camera.  They are the same focal length and f-stop.  I get an error message "Unable to merge photos.  Please cancel and review your selection. " I have tried it with auto-align unchecked and auto settings unchecked but nothing is working. Any ideas of what is happening and how I can resolve the issue?

Just updated to LRC 14.0 and while testing Apple DNG denoise noticed it adds new objects to my Subject mask (after/because AI mask update?). In any case, this is an issue.First photo is the original mask, yellow marks in the second photo - "new" parts of that mask. What's going on?  

I have the problem that older photos in a library are only displayed in the library and not in development mode. In the library the latest version is displayed perfectly, in developer mode I only see a small black pixel! How can I fix this?

Hallo, Ich habe das Foto-Abo (20 GB) schon seit langem und immer mit PrePaid-Codes um ein Jahr verlängert. Ich hatte das Abo im letzten Jahr gekündigt, aufgrund meines Guthabens wird die Kündigung aber erst zum 21.02.25 aktiv. Ich habe jetzt keinen Button gefunden, die Kündigung rückgängig zu machen und nun einen neuen Gutscheincode eingegeben, um das Abo wiederum um ein Jahr zu verlängern (also dann bis 21.02.26), weil ich es doch aufrecht erhalten will. Der Code wurde akzeptiert, aber leider wurde unter meinem Account nun  ein zweites Foto-Abo (20 GB) eröffnet, das dann bis 24.03.25 geht, parallel dazu dann das alte Abo bis 21.02.25. Meine Frage: Können die beiden Abos zusammengelegt werden, so dass ab Februar 2025 mit dem neuen Code ein Jahr verlängert wird?! Bzw. an wen muss ich mich da wenden? Gruß Stefan  

My lightroom on my laptop is very slow the last 1 or 2 weeks. I have no idea whats causing this problem. Maybe its lightroom, my laptop or my external disk. But takes me 2 hours to edit 10 photos or so and it crashhes also sometimes. It also says that some of my photo's are missing or missing information while they are on my external disk.

When closing LRC, I get "photos still syncing" message, even though the sync will never complete "next time."  This kind of hangup has happened before, but I don't remember how to fix it.   Do I need to find the photo in question and either delete or rename it?  How would I do that, please? Or is there a better solution?(Windows laptop running latest version of LRC.)

I recently upgraded Lightroom Classic to version 14.0, and a dialogue box informed me that my current catalog needed to be converted to the new release.  In the past, this process was completed without any issue, but this time when the operation was complete, ALL MY EXISTING FOLDER STRUCTURE WAS REMOVED AND IMAGES WERE ONLY LISTED BY CREATION DATE.  In addition, if I select a date and attempt to rename the catalog, a pop-up indicates that the folder could not be renamed or moved.   There are 19,650 images in this catalog. I have projects that I have to deliver, and I cannot locate anything because my previous organization is gone. Why? I have attached a screenshot showing the conversion results.   

Hi everyone,First of all, let me explain my setup: I’m using original and updated Windows 11, Adobe Creative Suite, with a 10th-gen i9 processor, 128GB DDR4 RAM at the maximum supported speed, a 4060ti graphics card, and an Asus ProArt 27" 4K AdobeRGB monitor. I’ve already set the monitor’s color profile on Windows correctly, using a Spyder 5 Pro calibrator. I also tried using an uncalibrated profile downloaded directly from the ASUS website, but it didn’t make a difference. So, I’m ruling out any issues with the profile or general configuration.The problem is: when I import photos into Lightroom and start making adjustments, everything seems fine, and the colors are correct. However, when I export the images in sRGB, the colors appear altered—mainly becoming more vivid and saturated—and the difference is quite noticeable. I also tried enabling the soft-proofing function, which shows some differences, but it doesn’t solve the problem.I’ve made other attempts, such as setting the camera
