Lightroom Classic

I am working on one LR classic catalogue with smartpreviews offline.ISSUE : When i select 10 images and apply preset it applies but then i go to correct some sliders only the first one selected of 10 gets change and remaining 9 stays within the previoulsy applied preset.Same thing when i work with full resolution data works just fine.What can be the issue  and the solution ?Since I edit few 100’s of images daily I need to work smartpreview with latest update to speed up my tasks as 50 megapixel full resolution in develop module takes some time with masking and things . 

Set a custom color profile in the Print module, then switch to another module and back. The choice is not preserved. In general the color profile selection is not preserved. I have to reset it every time. I've tried all workarounds I could find online.

I took a photograph of people riding on a bus, from the outside of the bus. As expected, there are window reflections on it. I tried to remove the reflections in LRC but it did not remove any of them. Moving the slider to -100 shows a black image, indicating LRC did not find reflections. I opened the same image in Camera Raw, and there the reflections were mostly removed. Moving the slider to -100 shows what Camera Raw detected as reflections. I don’t understand what is going on. Can you help? I am including relevant screen shots: Original Image, LRC 100 Removal, LRC -100 Removal, CR 100 Removal, CR -100 RemovalOriginal ImageLRC 100 RemovalLRC -100 RemovalCamera Raw 100 RemovalCamera Raw -100 RemovalMy system info:Lightroom Classic version: 15.1 [ 202512101606-1bb801a8 ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: en-USOperating system: Mac OS 26Version: 26.2.0 [25C56]Application architecture: arm64Logical processor count: 10Processor speed: NASqLite Version: 3.36.0Adobe GSDK Version: 1.4.

my thumbnails are not loading.  I thought reloading lightroom classic would help 

Recently (current install) when l import my NEF images they appear as grey pictures in both library & developer view, it has not done this previously, when l select an image the picture will appear and stay displayed until l select roughly the next 4th or 5th image then the previous one will go back to being greyed out. I have tried refresh of Windows 11 and reinstalled Lightroom classic but no change.2 screen shots from Library View and Develop View 

I received a batch of DNG files from one of our freelance photographers that have small previews. I imported these into Lightroom with the expectation of being able to export a new batch of DNG files with full-size previews. However, all I can get is files with the same small previews. There are 2 reasons I need full size previews.1-We use Photo Mechanic for culling and ordering images before renaming and processing them through LR.2-Our DAM relies on extracting the JPEG embedded in the DNG files for downloading.   Am I missing a setting somewhere, or is there really no way to force LR to create a DNG file from scratch with a larger preview?Thanks, 

Using a new Windows PC. LRC ran perfectly well until I installed the latest update. From that moment the Assisted Culling demo pop-up appeared every time I tried to import images. I’ve rebooted many times, used tips to do an action first and tried turning off the assisted culling. I don’t need it or want to use it. 

I have a reproducible issue where Lightroom Classic (15.3) does not recognize the GPU on my Mac Studio (M1 Ultra).  macOS 26.4.1 GPU shows 0.0 MB / not supported “Use GPU” is greyed out Denoise returns: “Requested adjustment is not applicable”  Important: The exact same setup works on a MacBook (same macOS, same LR version, same files). GPU is recognized and Denoise works there.  Already tried:  Reset preferences Clean reinstall Cleared Camera Raw cache Tested with single display  System reports GPU + Metal correctly (system_profiler).  → Seems Lightroom fails to detect GPU on this Mac Studio only.  Anyone seeing the same on Mac Studio?  

Adobe Lightroom Classic and Lightroom CC both freezing/turning white and showing "Not Responding" during basic use (browsing photos, editing sliders, zooming). Started on or around 28-Apr-2026. I have used Lightroom CC for 11 months, and this is the first time it has acted up this bad.

sony raw files produce normaly a export file size of about 123 MB occationally 288 MB..why?the develop settings are the same also noise reduction and resolution are the sane ??? 

In LrC the date is now formatted in milliseconds (in the Dutch version dd-mm-yyyy-HH:MM:SS.msmsms) I cannot recall when this has been changed, but on 16 april this year I still had the date format in seconds on my PC. Except for the fact that it is not practical for most users, this format is neither supported in MsExcel, and thus makes the output of PlugIns like ListView difficult to use in picture data administration programs/spreadsheets.Is there a way to format the date in LrC to custom? Time goes too fast in the multimedia world of today to bother about milliseconds other than in sports.Cheers,Louis

This post applies to Lightroom Classic and the Lightroom Ecosystem products.Post Camera Raw feedback here This thread is now closed. Please update to LrC 14.x or LrD 8.x. If you wish to provide feedback, please go to the new article. The Lightroom team is sharing an early look at Generative Remove, which makes it easier to remove unwanted objects and distractions, even on complex backgrounds, with a simple brush stroke. Generative Remove is powered by Firefly AI.   How to use Generative Remove on a desktop: You can find Generative Remove under the newly renamed Remove panel (aka “Heal”). Make sure the “generative AI” checkbox is enabled before you start brushing (note: when unchecked, Lightroom will use Content-Aware Remove to fill your brushed spots).  By default, you will be given a moment to refine your selection with an add or subtract brush. Remember to include shadows for a more accurate result! You can also skip this step by holding down ‘CTRL’ on windows or ‘CMD’ o

Hi. I’m trying to work with Lightroom Classic on two computers - a Windows PC (my main machine) and a MacBook. All my photos are stored on a Synology NAS, which I access via SMB. However, I keep separate catalogs locally on each computer.The problem is that as soon as I import into the Mac any photos that were previously imported on Windows, Lightroom on Windows becomes extremely slow to start. The next time I try to launch it, nothing happens sometimes even for up to 30 minutes. It’s a lottery, sometimes it starts in 1 minute, sometimes 15 or 30. The process appears in task manager and I can see that it heavily uses the network connection to the NAS. I can also hear the NAS drives working intensively, so Lightroom is clearly reading a lot of data.Why is this happening and how can I fix that? Why is it a problem if catalogs are separate and only source files are shared?It also has trouble reading and writing metadata to TIFF files. Sometimes it shows that metadata has been changed and

 I have tried to restore 2 different backups.It start the first time , but does not show picture when I change folder. Stays stuck when getting out saying He must save ;XMPs but I didn’t touch any picture.Refuse to restart with same problem as shown.Tried the script for permissions without success.Reports send to Adobe.Picture and XMPs visible in Bridge and Camera raw.

I believe it could be helpful and not too difficult for Adobe smart guys to create.

I have selected multiple photos in the library module and try to apply a caption to all of them but only the ‘most’ selected gets the caption. I believe this previously worked fine. Lightroom Classic 15.3 (most recent build), camera raw 18.3. Images from Nikon Zf. I have shown the steps in the attachment.   

Would like to support desqueezing photos shot with anamorphic lenses on both LR and LR Classic.

I just updated my lightroom classic app and lost all of my photos that I have uploaded. Not all of them were saved to my hard drive. I am incredibly upset and have no clue what to do. I was paid for this photoshoot.

Description of Issue:Plugin floating dialogs created via LrDialogs.presentFloatingDialog on Windows starting in LR Classic 15.2 are forced to stay on top, overlapping content. After the dialog opens, clicking on Lightroom's main window (or any other application) no longer brings the clicked window visually to front — the floating dialog stays at the top of the z-order until explicitly dismissed. This even applies if Lightroom loses focus, for example if the user clicks the task bar to focus another application.Clicks themselves DO pass through to LR's main window (folder navigation, filmstrip selection, etc. all work), so the API's documented intent of "interact with LR's main window" is technically satisfied. But the dialog no longer cooperates with z-order on focus events as it did through 15.1.1 — clicking LR used to bring LR visually forward and yield the dialog's z-order; in 15.2+ the dialog stays visually layered on top, occluding LR's main window even while LR is responding to c

Greetings,I have used Lightroom Classic and Photoshop before that for a very long time.  So for years I used my i1Pro2 meter and i1Profiler software to calibrate and generate icc profiles for my windows PC’s. I hope this is the right place to post this question on the forums.    Now I have a shiny new Asus OLED PA32UCDM ProArt monitor.  Although this is Calman factory calibrated, I am doing a “check” hardware calibration of this new monitor in wide gamut mode with a new meter and Calman software. It will write to the monitor LUT, however it does not generate an icc profile to install in windows.From my recollection, since I am using the ProPhoto colorspace in Lightroom and Photoshop, it utilizes the icc profile to translate the colorspace requested to the current state and capabilities of the monitor.After I do my hardware calibration the monitor will be very well calibrated.  But it will be running with the default installed icc that does not really know the current status of the cali

About 1/20 times when I go from one photo to the next when scrolling in edit view by pressing the right arrow key, the photo I scroll to turns sideways. It seems like it may be applying the orientation from the previous photo to the next. I’ve also seen lags or failures to display copy/pasted edits, which feels related. I’ll copy/paste and nothing happens, then scroll to the next photo and return back to the first and the edits are visible. There seems to be something happening with scrolling that is affecting rendering and edit decisions. This is on a MacBook Pro M4 Max with Lightroom 9.3. I’ve got raw files from a Fuji X-Pro3 and a Ricoh GR IIIx loaded, and I’m applying the same preset to both, then making my edits.

I am trying to erase  a  line using the eraser tool I draw a line  when complete the  the line and release the mouse button the highlighted mask changes and shows other areas In the picture I draw  one stroke form the start of  the white trail to the and after i release the button the mask changes in to the below result . the problem is constantly repeated  After that I tried some random strokes in different places  I get always  the left bottom highlight   

Since the latest Lightroom Classic update, I’m experiencing a serious issue with importing exported JPEG files.Workflow: I work with DNG files in a shared workflow (catalog opened locally after being edited remotely). I export JPEG files (same filename as the DNG, e.g. IMG_1234.DNG → IMG_1234.jpg) into the same folder. I try to import or synchronize that folder to include the JPEGs in the catalog. Issue: Lightroom does NOT detect the JPEG files when synchronizing the folder. In the Import dialog, even when selecting “All Photographs”, the JPEGs do NOT appear. The option “Don’t import suspected duplicates” is disabled. Dragging the JPEG files directly into Lightroom also does NOT import them. The files are visible in Finder and are valid JPEGs. Additional observations: This did NOT happen in previous versions of Lightroom Classic. It happens consistently across multiple folders. Renaming the JPEG files (e.g. adding a suffix) makes them importable again. Exporting JPEGs
