Lightroom Classic

I managed to desync my folders from lightroom classic and have lost all my edits in progress, and edits made ready for export. Is there a way to restore this?

I’m done with this. With every single update, Lightroom becomes more of a mess. Now, out of nowhere, the brush tool and masking have completely stopped working. I can't get any work done.I have already tried all the standard "fixes":Toggling GPU acceleration on/off - no effect.Restarting macOS and Lightroom multiple times - no effect.Resetting preferences and clearing cache - still nothing.And don't even try to blame my hardware. I am running this on a Mac Studio M1 Max and a MacBook Pro 16 M1 Pro. The exact same issue occurs on both machines after working for a while. This isn't a hardware limitation; this is your buggy, unoptimized code.I posted about this exact problem months ago in this forum, and nothing has been fixed. You keep charging a monthly subscription fee, yet you fail to provide a stable environment for basic functions like masking. This is my last year with Adobe. I am officially looking for alternatives that actually work and don't waste my time and nerves.Fix your sof

I shoot with Sony a7v and Sigma 35mm 1.4 dg dn II. On may 22th 2026 I have updated  LrC and Camera Raw, which include the lens profile for this Sigma lens (verified archive .lcp into the folder lensprofile>>1.0).The Raw files taken with this lens edited in Lrc comes with “built in” profile, but when I try to change to custom and select Sigma 35mm 1.4 dg dn II (A026), it doesn’t show up, and when I select “auto” it selects a different lens.How can I solve this?thanks a lot,kind regards,Pablo 

I constantly have to tick 'photo comment ' away, it pops up at random or whenever you click on the photo frame. Does anyone else has this? 

There are some nice predesigned borders, but you cannot adjust the size or the position. Could that be made possible? 

i have a folder with a subfolder named MLS. when i exported images to it, i mistakenly entered “mls” (i.e. lower case. LrC dutifully created a subfolder labelled mls, and it now shows two subfolders: MLS and mls. i tried to move the image from the latter to the former but LrC wouldn’t do itWindows File Explorer only shows one subfolder: MLS, with all the images

I re-edit a photo from Lr Classic in Photoshop. It is in my target collection which is my sync collection. Lightroom Classic says the sync is done. The new version is visible in Lightroom on the web (Chrome). The thumbnail in Lr Mobile is correct. When I open the image in Lightroom Mobile it reverts back to the old previously edited version. Thanks

I have a book of multiple pages, and I need 10 pages to change place to another book. The only way I found so far to do this is to export the whole book to pdf, and put 10 pdf pages to the other book. But the problem is, you cannot change anything anymore (as it is a pdf and not the different photos). Is there a way to drag whole pages  from one book to the other, so if you would drag them, the photo’s and the layout on the page go as well to the new book? 

The only solution i have found is to open the photo first in another module, then go back to the book module, then add the photo in the book. But this takes extra time. 

I have a 5TB image folder on one external HHD. (Catalogues are on my internal SSD) The drive is showing signs of possible failure so I have split the images onto two external SSD for safety. (Also backed up twice) I used the same naming structure for the nested folder. Combined they have all the folder/images of the orginal drive. Is there a way to point the catalogue to these two different drives?Drive A (failing) Images_africa_32 nested foldersDrive B  Images_africa_12 of the 32 foldersDrive C Images_africa_20 of the foldersIn the Lightroom panel, if I choose the 12 folders on drive A that match Drive B and do Update location. And then chose the 20 and update location to drive C, will this work? Can it point to the two drives? I tested one folder and it seems to work, but before I do everything, I just wanted to see if I was handling this correctly?Any assistance would be very welcome. ThanksNancie   

When Soft Proofing viewing the monitor gamut warning just change the entire display area to red. Note this also happened in 15.3. Destination gamut warning works correctly.Windows 15.3.1 release, everything up to date. 

I purchased my sony a7V in February 2026 but the raw files are still not supported by LR classic. I was on the phone with your support twice this week. Although I’ve read online that LR classic now supports these files,  a supervisor from Adobe told me yesterday that it is not so.  Please get this update for us  asap - us Sony users feel left behind. I have 2000 photos not supported by LR and had to go back to using my A7iii until you update. thank you

When clicking on the Remove Section before it would automatically open all the Remove tab (as there wasn't a Distraction Removal tab) however now it's automatically closed and just means having to click on the Remove tab. I much prefered it before, as now it just means 1 more extra click! As there's only 2 sections in the Remove tab then it may as well just have both open.

Hi all,I work with large sets of photos in Lightroom Classic and always found metadata (titles, captions, keywords) to be the most time-consuming part. Recently I have been experimenting with a small plug-in I built that uses AI to help generate this information and write it directly into the IPTC fields in LrC.It is still simple, but for stock photography and bigger projects it has saved me time. I am sharing in case others here are exploring similar workflows, and I would be interested to hear how you handle metadata automation in your own setups.If you are curious, I put a short description and the download info here:https://www.metamagicplugin.com/Mods: if this type of post is not appropriate, please feel free to remove.

Lo he cerrado varias veces para el reset y asi y todo se va en fallo el programa y no puedo trabajar en el 

After I used the available colors in the refresh, I pressed sync for other photos, and my app stopped working, but my computer continued to use other apps simultaneously as normal.

This issue is really affecting my editing workflow.  As I scrolling (right/left) through images on the strip to edit, intermittently the selected photo is not showing on the main editing screen. Somehow it get stuck on the previous photo.  See sample on the photo.  I’ve changed all the preferences to the most efficient and highest performance.  I’m at a total loss… and about to pull my hair out.  I’ve gone to the extreme to update to a high end Windows workstation.  Can someone help me with this issue?The editing photo does not correspond to the selected image for editingLRC 15.3  RAW 18.3Windows 11Intel Ultra 9 285k  32GB memGeforce RTX 5070TiM.2 SSD 1TB  OS, LR catalogs &cacheM.2 SSD 2TB  Photo RAW files

I don't put all the photos i selected in the final book.I would like to be able to select only the used ones, so i can edit only those.Thank you. 

Would it be possible to adjust the text layout for multiple pages at once? If you don't use the standard layout you have to adjust it page by page and frame by frame... 

I'm in Library, Loupe View. I use my arrows on the keyboard left and right to scroll through pictures. Then I hold either key of a couple of seconds and when I release it, the pictures should stop scrolling. However it continues scrolling and very quickly. There is no way to stop it, clicking or escape won't work. Just switching to another program and coming back. This is very annoying as I can't scroll quickly through my pictures. I get very frustrated.  Lightroom Classic 15.0.1Mac OS Tahoe 26.1

Hi, i have trying to use denoise on my sony arw raw files. they are true raw files but but i cannot denoise them. it keeps coming up with an error message. the error message says failed to apply adjustments to following images. i have a macbook pro m3 pro on macintosh tahoe 26.1 and i have no option to use my gpu acceleration on anything. it says system is incompatible which kind of makes no sense to me as the gpu is fairly powerful
