Lightroom Classic

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.

Hello - I purchased a new MacBook Pro recently and need to install my LrC presets on my new Mac. My old Mac is dead. LrC is unable to open on my old Mac so therefore I cannot migrate anything from my current LrC catalog. I have my presets saved in a folder on my new Mac. Is there a way to install my presets to LrC and essesntially start fresh on my new Mac? Please help. I am so lost. 

I use LrC on an  iMac  running Sonoma.  I keep all of my photos on an external drive which is updated to the cloud hourly and backed up on a second drive at night. The drive is getting long in the tooth and I am replacing it with a SSD.  I am using ChronoSync software to mirror the contents of the old drive to the new drive--the content should look the same on both drives, only the name of the drives will differ. So how do I change out the old drive and replace it with the new and have it work seemlessly with my Lightroom catalog from the getgo?   I am pretty ignorant of the technology, so please be clear on the steps. Thanks in advance for your help!Rob

I have a Macbook Pro (M1 Max with 64Gb) with Sonoma 14.6.1 and Lightroom Classic 13.5.  The performance of certain tasks indicates there is a substantial problem.  For example, hitting Auto in the develop module can take up to 10 seconds to produce a result.  Simialarly, doing a cmd-Z or updating the history in the develop module take a long time (many seconds) to complete.  But changing between the Library and Develop module and changing the sliders on the develop module produce immediate results.   One other thing, looking at the Activity Monitor, I see Lightroom using between 100-360% (not less that 100%) of the CPU when I am doing nothing at all.  It is just sitting there in the Library module. Has anyone seen someting like this?  Suggestions?

If try to denoise in Lightroom Classic I get a crash report when it tries to load the preview results.I've updated my drivers and I highly doubt its anything to do with hardware, since I have specs above the recommended

Lens Blur brush refinements aren't copied to the target photo by Sync Settings / Copy/Paste Settings.   To reproduce on LR 13.4 / Mac OS 14.5:   1. Download, unzip, and open this small catalog: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/i8vynvlmbidsyexsackaf/lens-blur-copy-bug.2024.06.29.zip?rlkey=nyedxcdz0vo29067nj0n7d4qx&dl=0    2. Select the two photos, with test1.jpg most selected.   3. Do Sync Settings and select just Lens Blur.   4. Observe that the basic Lens Blur settings are copied from test1.jpg to test2.jpg, but the brush refinements are not.    

I'm using an ordinary Dell U3818 monitor.  If I'm printing I'm using an ordinary Epson 3880 printer.Everything I'm displaying on - ordinary display screen for the web, HD screen (1080p I suspect) for competition, pretty much anything else are all going to be ordinary monitors or TV screens fed from laptops at 1920x1080, or my regular 3818 Dell monitor. In this environment is there any point turning on the HDR stuff in the Lightroom Library or playing with HDR in the Develop module?

hi, i always have error message when i use AI.... sometimes it work, but 75% not.  (see attach file). i have the last version, and a good precessor & SSD. how to have the option withour error ? help ! 

Bonjour. Dans mon lightroom classic a disparu le module à gauche qui me donnait accès à tous mes presets, comment je fais pour le faire réapparaître ? Mille mercis d'avance

Hello, Since updating to version 13.5 today from the previous version, I've been encountering a frustrating problem.As background information, my catalog is very large. I've noticed that loading the metadata takes an extremely long time (see Screenshot 01).This was never an issue with the previous version. Due to this never-ending loading process, my color-marked pictures aren't displaying their colors properly (see Screenshot 02).Additionally, in the left folder view, albums no longer show the number of pictures they contain (see Screenshot 03).Another issue is that my "View Options," which are set to display the filename, ISO, or focal length (and can be switched using the "I" shortcut), aren't showing anything or switching as they should.   Is this a known bug? I really don't want to reset all my preferences, as support often suggests.   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules. A ‘bug’ is not just another word for any problem with softwar

Since the update to Lightroom Classic 13, whenever I edit a photo in Lightroom Classic with an AI mask, e.g. person, background, background blur etc, and sync it to lightroom, the photo does not display in Lightroom with the Lightroom Classic edits at all.Photos with non AI asking applied, e.g. object, brushes and linear gradients DO display with the appropriate edits in Lightroom when synced.I have been on line with Adobe numerous times and they are useless and don't admit that there is an issue, even when I clearly show them my processes, both with AI masking and non AI masking applied and show them in Lightroom the relevant photos not displaying edits and displaying edits.Is anyone else having this issue? This worked properly with AI edits applied in Lightroom Classic Ver 12.0.I have updated to the latest versions of Lightroom Classic August 2024 update and Lightroom August 2024 update.Can anyone help please?

I have recently done an update on my Lightroom and since the update it will not preview the images. When I create a new folder and select the new folder it shows all the images  once but once I have clicked import the task bar trys fetching previews but locks up. the images are imported into light room but till I select one image, which I do not know what it is till I select it, it appears and I can edit. I have tried removing folders and re-importing to no success. Previous folders where I had no issue the previews have vanished, /i makes no difference if images are raw or jpeg, can anyone help   [Mod: Changing title]

I'm confused. The R1 and R5ii were announced on same day, the new update mentions the R1, but not the R5ii. In the long list of supported models, it shows the R5ii but the fields are empty. Did they miss something in this update?

For some reason Lightroom just hangs when i click on the icon. So I updated just now and its still hanging. I open task manager and its there but no launch.Anyone with some help on this please.Thanks

Just upgraded to a new Windows 11 computer.  During the move to the new machine Lightroom (V13.4) grabbed a bunch of folders (such as My Documents, My Videos, etc) that shouldn't be in Lightroom (I have no idea why these folders ended up in Lightroom - but that is beside the point (obviously I did something screwy).  To get rid of those extra folders  - I used the command "Remove From Lightroom" on all the folders that shouldn't be in Lightroom.  In the process ALL 30,000 photos that were supposed to be in Lightroom were removed as well.  How do I get the photos that should be in Lightroom BACK into my catalog?  Is there such a thing as an undo "Remove from Lightroom command" ???  A few points... The images still exist - they just are no longer in Lightroom. (if I somehow get them back into Lightroom - will I lose all my edits and collections?I do have a recent back up on the current V 13.4 catalogI have a catalog from a prior version of Lig
