Lightroom Classic

I've tried upgrading to Lightroom Classic 13.3 from 13.2 and had to downgrade twice because each time I try to export images it just kind of freezes. I'll wait for a couple of minutes and it does nothing, but im still able to exit the app.    I've tried exporting from my Macs SSD and external hard drives and I have the same issue. When I downgrade to 13.2 the issue goes away, so obviously there is a bug in 13.3 Is anyone else having this issue? Is there a work around? Thank you!

I can’t delete any video files within Lightroom. When I want to delete video from Lightroom Catalog, it says: ‘The file named ……. could not be moved to the Recycle Bin.’There must be a bug surely?

Hi, Can anyone help?? When editing images that have been taken with my Sigma 150-600 lens and I use the lens correction tool in Lightroom Classic I am always confronted with a tick marker against a different Sigma lens.  I then have to scroll down to find the lens I am using.  As I only have one Sigma lens I find this extremely frustrating especially when trying to process large numbers of images.   Does anyone know how I can alter my preferred lens in the list, please?  

I recently updated my Lightroom Classic to the most recent version on my computer. The next time I tried to pull it up, nothing happens. It will not open and an odd LRCat file is in one of my regular folder where I would have saved the images from my edits and it shows in black on my desktop. .  I tried multiple things, unistalled and reinstalled. Nothing happened and it won't open. I restored an old version and it still won't open up. I'm at a total loss of what to do and have two sessions due today, Any idea whats going on?

I struggled with the crop aspect ratio drop down and the padlock but now knowing they aren't connected I would now like to suggest it to be. I mostly want the same aspect ratio on all my crops and I want the crop frame to default to my aspect ratio instead of starting on full image size. Maybe this requires a new button below "original" (aspect ratio) that means "lock default crop aspect ratio from now an until I change it". And when choosing the crop tool (r) should show the crop frame  by default but on top of the full image. I'm also missing the old possibility of starting a crop (any aspect ratio choosed) from zero. Just put the cursor on the image and drag. This will be a far quicker way instead of chasing the corners on the crop area grid. And I don't like that you have to slide the image inside of the crop. It's backwards. I want to slide the crop frame over the image.  

I am running Windows 10 and updated to Lightroom Classic 9. Every time I open lightroom I get the message that Lightroom wants to update my catalog. I have gone to preferences and tried the option to open the latest catalog and that did not work, I tried pointing to the correct catalog and used the checkbox to always use this catalog and that did not work. I also get the splash screen every time I open lightroom welcoming me to a new version both are very annoying. please help!!

Hello everyone, i used Cloud based Lr for 2 years and all my fav presets are in it. Since the performance of that LR on my iMac was poor i switched to Lr Classic. However, i can not figure how to transfer presets if that is even doable? Generally speaking, how do i download presets from Adobe Community at all? 

Hello,I encounter sometimes (too often) a very strong and blinding pure yellow box as the image is redisplayed after some operations like Before/after (Y) or a crop.So quick that a screen capture is quite difficult to achieve.Maybe it is related to the MacOS version: Macbook pro M1, OS: 14.4.1Is there any feedback on this? It is rather anoying.Thank you

 I started cloning two external seagate drives to store all my RAW files and keep a backup. The drives also have my LR catalog. It's made organzing the images much easier and and I'm able to keep my internal stoarge on mbp freed up. However, It's a bit cumbersome to have a laptop but need to plug in the external drive anytime I want to edit. Kinda defeats the point of the laptop in the first place bc I don't want to risk damaging the delicate external hd toting it around to coffee shops or even to my couch. Anywhere but my desk feels like a risk since i've learned my lesson in the past over having a dropped external drive. Not only that, Since they are powered and I am working all day on the computer it feels like it could easily fail by just being overworked and powering the catalog. Now that external ssd are getting cheaper (esp. since i buy them in pairs) I am thinking when these two fill up I will move over to ssd. But I also started thinking, does everyone plug

Hi, I just installed Lightroom Classic 13.3.1 on my laptop (OS Windows 11) and I cannot get access to my local adjustment brushes.  I added the brushes by going to Preferences>Presets>Show All Other Lightroom Presets>Lightroom>Local Adjustment Presets.  I dragged and dropped my brushes (.lrtemplate files) to the Local Adjustment Presets folder.  I then restarted LrC, went to my masks, clicked the brush tool and there is no pop menu to select my saved local adjustment brushes.   On the Preferences>Preset page I tried a variety of clicking and unclicking different boxes for “Show Partially Compatible Develop Presets” and “Store presets with this catalog.”  I’d click the or unclick the boxes, restart LrC and nothing changed.  Another weird thing is my Preferences>Presets page isn’t fully visible.  Near the end of the page where I should see buttons to restore different options, but the page cuts off where the Restore Loca

Hallo,Ich nutze Lightroom Classic für meine Bildbearbeitung und im Nachgang Photoshop. So sind meine Arbeitswege.Im Herbst habe ich mir einen neuen Rechner zugelegt. Leider gibt es seit längerer Zeit Probleme zwischen LrC und meiner Grafikkarte, zumindestens vermute ich das aktuell. Wenn ich den Grafikprozessor auf automatisch oder auf benutzerdefiniert einstelle, stürzt mir LrC ab und das bei minimalsten Anforderungen. Es stockt, regler sind kaum noch zu betätigen bis es dann komplett abschmiert. Schalte ich die Verwendung vom Grafikprozessor aus, funktioniert alles einwandfrei.In Photoshop habe ich alles auf höchstleistungen laufen und ich habe Null probleme.Hier meine PC Daten:Prozessor: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 8-Core Processor, 4.20 GHzArbeitsspeicher: 32 GBGrafikkarten: 24GB XFX Radeon RX 7900 XTXAlle Programme sind aktuell, ebenso alle Treiber.Ich bin ziemlich verzweifelt, da ich mit meinem Leienwissen eigentlich der Meinung bin, dass mein Rechner das locker schaffen müsste.Liebe Grü

Since uploading LRc 13.3, the app always presents the same image in Library fit mode.  The image is one that was edited several days ago and never changes, even though I've edited hundreds of images before.  Previous behavior was to open in Grid view in the last folder or collection I was editing.  How can I fix this. Windows 11 Home 23H2Build 22631.3672

Hi, I recently updated my Lightroom Classic to version 13.3.1. When I updated I lost all of my presets, so I immediately uninstalled the version and reinstalled the old. Later that day, my computer died and did not back up my catalog. Now my presets are gone everywhere. I reinstalled version 13.3.1 trying to see if they would reappear. I have the show partially compatible presets checked and looked through every folder. Any suggestions? Thank you!

virtual copies are created spontaneously 

Can anyone give me a solution to a problem I've got in Lightroom Classic? I had a very large folder that I imported into LR but some of the files failed to import. I then did a second import of the rest, but now only the ones from the second import are showing. The first lot are definitely there and they show in the Catalogue under "All folders" but not under the folder itself. I'm working on a Mac.Thanks in advance!

I'm planning to import my Apple Photos library (~20k photos) to LrC on an iMac. I understand that there are ways to transfer the face recognition data from Apple Photos when doing the import (e.g. using Avalanche), but my question is whether this is a good idea. It seems like an obviously good thing to do, given how much effort I have expended in making my Apple faces data complete and accurate. Also, I have around 500 unique, named faces in Apple Photos, so at a minimum it would save me from having to name them all again in LrC. On the other hand, I'm not sure how LrC will use the imported Apple faces. Will LrC effectively treat them as manual face detections and hence as "truth"?  Or might LrC try to modify the imported faces based on results from LrC's own face detection/recognition algorithm? I assume that LrC will at least use the imported faces to train its algorithm when looking for new faces in existing and new photos. Other info that may be releva

I'm wondering if it's possible in Lightroom Classic to see whether, for a given synced image, the full original file or just a smart preview lives in the cloud. At present, I only know how to check this in LrC/LrW/LrM (looking at images one by one, or filtering by Synced from Lightroom Classic). Is it possible to see this status in Classic? -- MacOS 14.3.1; Lightroom Classic v13.2

HiI am using Lightroom classic Ver 13.3.1 and it is really slow to start when opening, around 2 minutes before the screen is functional. I am using a 17 inch HP laptop 8 months old ,it has 32gig of ram terabyte hard drive (SSD) and Intel iris XE is there any way of sppeding lightroom up, once it is running it is fine but just getting to the start screen takes an age. I have also noticed that if you move to the top menu,s it is slow. EG Preferences. I have used it with the graphic card enable and disabled no difference.Using photoshop is fast and I have other Photo progs and they run very fast but lightroom is a total pain.Any help will be really appreciated, thanks

Al aplicar desenfoque de lente, aparece "error inesperado, por lo que la solicitud no se ha podido completar"

I am relatively new to LrC, but I have used it about 20x to edit raw (Lumix S1). I have a color space issue where my purple goes blue. I tried to keep it in there with grade tweaks, but it turned blue in JPEG (delivery format). What can I do to hold the purple?

Hello there. Late last week my LRC (current version 13.2) started crashing at opening. I have done a clean reinstall to no avail. I use a MacBook pro with the M1 Max chip and Sonoma 14.4.1. Problems started right after upgrading to the new version of Sonoma. Thank you in advance for any help

Since upgrading LrC to 13.3 the printer function isn't working correctly.  For example, there is no pre loaded paper size for 4 x 6 inches, nor an option to print borderlessly.  When I set paper size in "custom size" to 4 x 6 inches, with cell size 4 x 6, I still get a slightly cropped image with a small about 1/8inch  border.  Scaling down or up from 100 percent does nothing.  Only way I can print correctly is to export the image and print it using the mac OS print functions.

Been waiting for lightroom to restart during the catalogue optimisation process for about 10 mins now.Looking at task manager lightroom is still very active in background and accessing one of my HDDs. See below.What is it doing? The HDD being read is just where photos are stored, catalogue is on a seperate ssd (L) which  back ups are written to as well .Is it safe to shut down the PC during the period  Im waiting for lightroom to relaunch itself?If this is normal behaviour?, shouldnt there be some indication that the programe is still active in the background during this phase of the process?

Ich möchte Teile einer DNG-Datei gesondert bearbeiten und nutze dafür den Maskierungsmodus. Bisher hat das auch immer gut funktioniert. Nun plötzlich scheint die KI oder was auch immer rasterartig das gesamte Bild im Laufe meiner Markierbewegung zu maskieren. Und das passiert mit jedem der auszuwählenden Möglichkeiten von Objekt, Pinsel und Verläufen. Die Möglichkeit Teile der Maskierung wieder zu entfernen ist ebenfalls nicht möglich. Hat jemand eine Idee, was das Problem ist?   Ich benutze LR Classic 13.3.1   [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]

I have noticed that the little “page flip” that denotes a virtual copy is not showing in Lightroom. I’ve been able to filter them out in the library in attributes but I still don’t see the “page flip” at the bottom left of the image. I have increased the size of the thumbnails, no luck. Below are my interface settings and while I don't see anything specific to virtual copies, I figured I'd include a screenshot. Is this a bug or did I mess someting up? Any help is appreciated. Chris
