Lightroom Classic

After updating to Lightroom Classic 13.5 it starts/loads really slow.  Once started it seems to work as norma

Hi - I have the most current version of LRC and also camera raw. I'm trying to import a folder of raw files but LRC seems to be treating them as if they already exist in the catalog, which they don't. The import button stays grey. If I create an empty catalog they import without any problem. I don't want to discard my existing catalog. How can I fix this?   [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]

Hola! Tengo Lr Classic en Windows 11 version 13.4 y no aparece la pestaña HSL. Que tendría que hacer?

Quick question: is there an API to apply an existing  filenamePreset?I see photo:applyMetadataPreset( presetId ) but not the equivalent for filenamePresetsIs there another method that must be used?. 

I just update lightroom classic with 13.5 on my mac m2pro and sonoma 14.6.1 and I was working at a photo and I should do an automatic mask all kind(subject, background or radial or linear mask) the image disappear and the screen become black or white. I m never have this kind of problem on this section on developing tool, happen after the 13.5 update. I attached a radial mask image.

Hi everybody,  I am not sure when the latest update happened but now I am missing a number of recent folders in my most recent catalog. Strangely enough, older ones are still there and the latest two are there as well but the ones in between are not. So I tried looking for them and I have saved them on my external hard drive per usual, but for some reason, I can't find them in Lightroom.  So I thought maybe I just look at an earlier version, and then I get asked to back up - and that is not working either  (see screenshot). I looked here in the forum, but I can't seem to find the answer. Short of re-importing all those folders and starting work on them again, I am at a loss. Oh, and I have plenty of space ... so not sure why that would be an issue. Plus of course, the backup not working is not helping as I may lose them again if I don't back up... Any clever ideas what I can do?   

LrC 13.5MacOS Sonoma 14.5 Is there a way to display the quantity of Collections in a Collection Set?

I do not see the option to set a B&W or Color treatment in the Basic Panel. I am using version 13.4 release on MacOS Sonoma. Any clues on how I can get it back?    [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules. A ‘bug’ is not just another word for any problem with software!]

Bonjour, Depuis quelques semaines, j'ai rencontré un problème avec Lightroom Classic. Lorsque je clique sur l'application .exe dans l'explorateur de fichiers ou sur le launcher de Creative Cloud, je vois le curseur de la souris en mode chargement pendant quelques secondes, puis plus rien ne se passe. L'application apparaît dans le gestionnaire des tâches comme un "processus en arrière-plan". J'ai remarqué que les autres applications de Creative Cloud, telles que Photoshop, passent en "Applications" une fois lancées, après avoir été en "processus en arrière-plan". Cependant, ce n'est pas le cas de Lightroom Classic, qui reste bloqué en "processus en arrière-plan" (voir capture d'écran ci-jointe).Pour résoudre ce problème, j'ai bien sûr vérifié les mises à jour de Windows et de Lightroom Classic, désinstallé et réinstallé l'application, et effectué des recherches, dont deux solutions que j'ai trouvées dans ces posts (https://helpx.adobe.com/fr/lightroom-classic/kb/troubleshoot-gpu.h

I am having an issue after updating Lr Classic to 13.5, all my sync images are getting updated with a custom WB, it's affecting the whole catalog. A new entry was added in the history log, changes from Lr mobile, I didn't used Lr mobile. best regards,Rafael

Bonjour à tous,Je me permets de vous écrire car nous rencontrons un souci quant à l’application « Lightroom Classic ».Depuis quelques jours nous ne pouvons plus lancer l’application, nous avons le message « le catalogue Lightroom « … » est corrompu ».Le processus de réparation se lance mais une fois terminé, nous avons le message suivant qui apparait sur le bureau :L’application ne se lance pas et nous sommes obligé de forcer l’application à se fermer via le « gestionnaire de tache ».Nous avons essayé de lancer l’application avec « ALT » afin de forcer la réparation du catalogue mais rien ne se passe. L’application ne veut pas se lancer.Nous ne savons pas s’il y a une incidence mais notre quota cloud a augmenté subitement sans que nous comprenions la raison.  Nous avons 16 Go de disponible sur le C : sur nos 250 Go et nous avons un autre disque ou sont synchronisées nos photos ou il reste presque 1To.Nous allons

Bonjour à tous,  je souhaiterais savoir quels fichiers je peux définitivement supprimer sans perdre aucune de mes données. je vous remercie pour votre aide précieuse {Moved from Lightroom Cloud to Lightroom Classic Forum by Moderator} 

Why? Why is Adobe making ANY change to my export settings? Right click, pick a folder - choose a folder, pick a format - choose JPEG. I generally go 80% quality. Used to be simple. Now... it's changed. I get it? Adobe wants folk to use DNG files (it's Adboe's afterall). But I want to use JPEG. WHY!!! is the option not available? Here are my screen shots when I try to export jpegs. There is no option top change to JPEG. I've had options to change to JPEG before any updates. The below is greyed out.    

Hello Adobe Community,   I'm encountering a persistent issue in Lightroom Classic where, after cropping an image to a 4:5 aspect ratio, the exported image does not match the expected dimensions. Specifically, when I crop an image to 4:5 and attempt to export it with a width of 1080 pixels and a height of 1350 pixels, Lightroom instead exports the image with dimensions of 1080 x 864 pixels.   What I’ve Tried: Setting the crop aspect ratio to 4:5 and ensuring the orientation is correct. Using the "Long Edge" export setting at 1350 pixels. Manually setting the export dimensions to 1080 pixels (width) and 1350 pixels (height). Resetting Lightroom preferences and reinstalling the application   Despite these steps, Lightroom consistently exports the image at 1080 x 864 pixels, which does not match the intended 4:5 aspect ratio. This discrepancy is significant because it disrupts my workflow.   This issue is preventing me from using Lightroom Classic as the final step in

I added around 1300 pictures to quick collection. These pictures also contained stacked pictures.Saving quick collection to a "regular" collection the stacks are not shown in this new collection.When going to orgin folder in library the stack is shown.LR 13.5Is this a feature or just an error/bug?

In Lightroom Classic, I have duplicates of mask choices such as Dodge, Burn, Teeth Whitening, etc... How do I remove the duplicate?   Thank You,RP   [moved to the correct community - Mod.]    

Ojala fuera como Photoshop la opcion de remover o borrar para aprovechar mas el tiempo

Maybe all I need to do is to 'paint' in various intensities for a mask but I'm not aware of a blur effect in Lightroom like you can do in Photoshop. It would be great to 'paint' selected areas that could be then affected with a gradient effects like blur.. Is this possible and how should it be done?

My external hard drive with LR catalog and photos died and I want to restore LR from my time machine hard drive. How do I get the time machine hard drive to become main drive for my LR?thank youjeff

Hello, My computer died with my hard drive plugged in. It will only open old catalogs but not my most recent. SOS!! Not sure what happened, if folder moved or what. I have restarted 3 times, and my updated my lightroom to and it still wont open. 

Previously (and still most of the time) pressing n in Lightroom Classic will revert to a library view with selected files tiled on the screen. This has always worked from the develop module too so you could make a few tweaks and hit n to return to your selection. Makes it easy to tweak and compare edits.  This was all fine but now since the mask panel was updated (yes that's good) if you happen to have added any kind of mask the keyboard shortcut doesnt work, you have to close the mask panel first before it will work. None of the other panels behave this way. Took me ages to realise what was causing this internittent problem. As there is no way to amend keyboard shortcuts (and why not!!!) please can this be put back the way it has been for years, its playing havoc with my muscle memory. Thanks 

Lightroom Classic auto-updated to 13.5 and since the update, my AMD Radeon RX6600XT no longer works properly. The application opens fine, it works for a few images, then some glitching starts to appear and gets progressively worse as I go through the filmstrip, and renders the application unusable as it ends up looking like modern posterized glitch art. The images are unrecognizable.Anyone else having the same issue? It goes away after I turn the GPU off but obviously that's a temporary solution as it's a whole lot more sluggish that way.The rollback to 13.4 seems to have solved the issue but it's only a matter of time until I have to update again.  Attaching 2 files to demonstrate the issue.
