Lightroom Classic

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.]

I've been trying to synchronize my vacation pictures from the iPad (LR) in LRC 13.4 for 2 days. I can see them all now, but the synchronization still says "481 photos are being synchronized". In LR on the iPad & iPhone & in the browser the synchronization is complete or there is no longer a message. Recently I can no longer see which picture is “stuck”. I can only switch to WebLR. Where do I see the error now?   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules. A ‘bug’ is not just another word for any problem with software!]

Hi, I've read the threads about the time it takes to process AI denoise and I'm curious. I'm not a computer guy, maybe someone can help me understand. I have images from a Canon 5D mkIv and the estimated times on random photos range from 40minutes to 860 minutes. My machine has an Intel I7-3770K CPU @ 3.50Ghz and an Nvidia Quadro K4000 GPU (11 GB memory). I grabbed a photo with a time estimate of 38 minutes ( it took 20 minutes ) but I opened task manager and watched my component usage and my GPU usage was hovering around 2% but my CPU shot up to 100% ( Lightroom was using 98% ) .. All the threads I've read point to the GPU as the culprit for these long processing times but my task manager showed barely a blip on my GPU while my CPU was maxed out.  I would greatly appreciate any thoughts on this. My motherboard is ten years old and I'm not sure about just plugging in a more modern GPU when I don't fully understand what's happening. Thanks in advance for any help.

I appear to be stuck with the exact same version of Lightroom CC that I acquired in 2015 (2015.1) running on MacOs 10.15.7 (Catalina) despite being up to date with my subscription payments.  The built in 'Update' function under the 'Help' tab does nothing.  My plan inludes entitlement to both Lightroom and Lightroom Classic as well as Photoshop. However when I try to install either from their downloaded dmg files the installer fails to commence. Could this be because I have not firstly uninstalled the 2015.1 version of Lighroom CC?  I am reluctant to do so because I don't want to loose 9 years worth of edits. Can anyone please advise, Thanks

Does the program continue to name faces as I add new names to the database. For example, if I name a face in one folder, does the program update similar faces in other folders. Thus, as I add names to faces, the same faces will be recognized in other folders.

Hi, it has been days since I cannot move or modify a mask after creating it in Lightroom CC. When I create a mask, there is no lines to modify it (to modify the feather of a radial mask for example) and I have no "point" to move, extend or rotate it. This is really frustrating, can someone help me with it? Thanks

Things work fine until I use the crop tool, then gpu accelaration gets disabled (graphics acceleration has stopped due to an error) and the develop module stops updating when I make changes. Downgrading to LR 11.1 and updating to newest video card drivers didn't help. Lightroom Classic version: 11.1 [ 202112022200-7fd1f998 ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: enOperating system: Windows 10 - Home Premium EditionVersion: 10.0.19042Application architecture: x64System architecture: x64Logical processor count: 12Processor speed: 3.7GHzSqLite Version: 3.36.0Built-in memory: 65465.7 MBReal memory available to Lightroom: 65465.7 MBReal memory used by Lightroom: 6931.9 MB (10.5%)Virtual memory used by Lightroom: 12531.8 MBGDI objects count: 1255USER objects count: 3566Process handles count: 2481Memory cache size: 0.0MBInternal Camera Raw version: 14.1 [ 993 ]Maximum thread count used by Camera Raw: 5Camera Raw SIMD optimization: SSE2,AVX,AVX2Camera Raw virtual memory: 1295MB / 3

I haven't changed anything in my workflow and out of nowhere with this last update,  older photos are being replaced in my imports with random photos. Anything older than a year is being completely scattered throughout my catalog. All the import dates are changing. My entire catalog is being changed with out my doing. Even private shared albums are putting the wrong files which  is a huge privacy issue. I need help. I currently stopped every shared album I have because I can't trust that it's going to send the right photos to the right people. I attached a screen recording to show why my albums are doing.

Hi there, LR Classic 13.4 is suddenly runnnig extremly slow, freezes and crashes on Mac OS 14, Version: 14.5.0. on an MBA M1, 8 GB Ram Maschine that's been fine for years.  It takes ages just to load a picture in Dev. Module (spinning wheel of Death), changes in Dev. Module result in the same behavior, export to jpeg only works for single files and also suddenly takes ages. With multiple files LR freezes and has to be restartet. Have allready optimized the catalog multiple times, restartet LR multipile times and restartet the computer multiple times.  Am completly at a loss what's causing this, haven't had this problem before. LR Systemreport shows plently of memory available.

Hi all. My name is Marek. I need your help 😉 On my NAS Synology 423+ drive I have several directories with photos. While importing one of them, LrC "recognizes" 21,000 photos, but physically I have less than 31,000 on the drive. Comparison of the memory, respectively 700 GB "recognized" by LrC and 950 GB on the drive. What could be wrong that LrC does not see all files that are jpg or RAW files? Thanks for any hint 😊

Suddenly, edits done in PS do not update in LR; saved as a copy. The  image shows in explorer correcly., but in LR it is the old image.   If it is a new image with  edits, that seems to work.  I have re-installed PS and LR.  

Notifications for likes and comments in shared albums (public synced collections) don't appear in LR 13.4 -- there are no yellow badges.  And sorting by Last Comment Time doesn't work.   (A previous report for the lack of badges in LR 13.3 and 13.3.1 is marked as Fixed.)   Here are the steps I took and screenshots of the results:   1.  In LRC, I created a public synced collection "Test Sync" and added four photos to it.   2. In LR Web, I marked the second photo with a like and the third photo with a like and a comment (photos sorted by capture time).   3. After waiting for the sync to LRC complete, the likes and  comment appear in the Comments panel. But there are no yellow badges and the thumbnails are not sorted by Last Comment Time (the second and third photos with likes and comment should sort first and second).  View > View Options > Cell Icons > Thumbnail Badges is enabled, as demonstrated by the GPS badges on the thumbna

Hallo, ich habe in Excire Foto Stichworte  in meinen Fotos erstellt und über Metadaten schreiben in das Foto eingelesen. In LR-Classic habe ich dann die Metadaten neu eingelesen und muss nun feststellen, dass alle meine Fotobearbeitungen weg sind. Das würde ich als Katastrophe bezeichnen. Ich hätte jetzt nicht erwartet, dass die Metadaten etwas mit meinen Bilddaten zu tun haben. Kann mir das jemand erklären.

Hi, I've got a bunch of images taken outside with a rolling hill in them. Two things break this hill: the subject couple (wedding image) and a dead tree.I did a "Select Sky" mask in Lightroom Classic and wanted to make the clouds more dramatic (as they were at the time). Now I could lower the exposure, or highlights, or whites, or dehaze - or a combination of all of these. Indeed that's what I did - a combination.The problem is that the mask selects a little bit of the top of the hill so when you lower anything you get a bit of a "ring edge" or "fringe" to the hill (it is less noticable around the couple themselves).I've tried only adjusting one of those things at a time and the issue remains much the same. Before:After - note the "double line" of the horizon. Before:After:I know it's the mask as when I simply lower the exposure dramatically I can see the effect well - it must be selecting part of the hillside and/or feathering and including the hillside. Any idea of a quick

I have just replaced my old 27" FHD monitor with a new 27"QHD one with far better colour accuracy, since swapping the monitor LrC constantly freezes and crashes to desktop. Is there an issue with higher resolution monitors?  Even the web based newer Lr seems to have issues too, just not as bad as LrC. 

When exporting the files everything works normal, but then Lightroom doesn't stop.The LrC Symbol in the taskbar says "finished" because the loading bar is gone.But inside Lightroom the loading bar in the left corner says still exporting the last picture.If I open the export folder I see files appearing and disappering all the time.This process never finishes. I tried everything like stopping the export, restart the computer, omptimize the cataloge, and so on.

Hello, everyone,I have been experiencing this problem for a long time, which causes me a heavy workflow slowdown.My setup is as followsmacbook m1 pro 16gb ram, mac os Sonoma 14.5, apple studio display, and the files are nikon z8 48mpx.The files and the catalogue are ONLY on an ssd storage, I normally ask lightroom to convert raw files to dng and generate standard or advanced previews (nothing changes between the two in terms of loading time).Each time to make the selections I have to wait 2 to 4 seconds for the previews to load, and when I have about 5000 files to select from you can imagine that the loss of time is a lot.Can anyone help me?Thank you very much!

Hi, I'm a novice lightroom classic user. Recently I noticed there is an annoying change where the library previews of images appear much different than the develop module which looks normal. Essentially the library (as well as the images for the import preview full size, but NOT the import preview thumbnails) images all appear pixelated and like a sort of low-dynamic range version. I've tried optimizing catalog, and created a new catalog and reinstalling lightroom and still present. I have no idea why things have changed because I certainly don't tweak settings. The only thing I can think is that I recently got a new monitor in the past few months (Alienware AW3225QF). Video card settings all up to date (RTX 4070). Lightroom up to date (13.4). Windows 10. Image for Example - I didn't include the develop module screencap because when I try to screencap that it doesn't accurately represent what I see on my monitor:   Any help appreciated!   [moved from bugs to discussions acco

Running LC vs 13.4, metadata in right bar does not update or display, data can be seen in librar, why? how to fix  

Hey!since Lightroom Classic 13 the teeth-detection is terribly wrong if i select "All People".The same when using Preset -> Adaptive: Portrait -> Enhance Portrait  or Whiten Teeth.Also the same if i'm copying a preset using such Adaptive Preset from pic to pic. Using Preset or adding a mask->People->all People this is an absolute terrible and not acceptable result(Detected teeth are red-colored). Teeth are either not detected at all or completely wrongAdding a new mask -> people -> select one person -> add all other person -> select Teeth the result is fine This looks like a very terrible bug. Lightroom Classic version: 13.0.1 [ 202310121438-d2af310c ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: enOperating system: Windows 11 - Business EditionVersion: 11.0.22631Application architecture: x64System architecture: x64Logical processor count: 16Processor speed: 4,4GHzSqLite Version: 3.36.0CPU Utilisation: 0,0%Built-in memory: 64662,8 MBDedicated GPU
