Lightroom Classic

Hello! Ça fait déjà un moment que j'ai remarqué que mon iMac (2019) chauffe beaucoup (~60°c) dès que j'utilise Lightroom Classic.. Un peu embêtant quand on est pro! J'ai pas mal augmenté la mémoire cache Camera Raw (50go) + cache vidéo (10go).Dans la mesure du possible pour soulager un peu le Mac, quand je travaille sur LrC, il n'y a que lui d'ouvert... Mais ça devient quand même problématique toute cette chauffe! D'autres personnes qui rencontrent le même problème ? Adobe ou autres, quelles solutions pour y remédier? Merci d'avance! 

I've been working with Nikon support on an issue with "high" ISO noise in my RAW images from the Nikon Z8 camera. They had me import these images using their NX Studio and standard MacOS file copy to a local drive. WHen viewing the unedited RAW images in NX Studio or directly from the memory card using MacOS Finder, the images look as shot.When importing into LightRoom Classic or Lightroom (current versions auto-updated via creative cloud) the images are initially rendored in the Library multi-image view as expected, but then each one starts to get covered in a 30% "screen" or dark overlay as if they were shot in darkness. This introduces a lot of luminous noise into every image.For images shot at ISO 64 or 100 I don't notice this as much if at all, but as soon as I hit 400+ (typicaly ISO 800) I start to see it, and above ISO 1000 it is killer.This has bee going on since day one of my Z8 and I thought it was my camera, but then we tested wtih NX Studio and no problem. I know

Lightroom v 13.3.1 on Windows 11 I have searched for answers to this, but seems it's not a common problem. Happens every time.  I changed the motherboard, processor and GPU a few weeks ago in a big upgrade on my PC. All was working swimmingly and lovely.  Then, for some reason, overnight, Lightroom has started taking forever and an age to open. I open it, the first frame of the app appears, then it hangs for a while. Then the splash screen appears, then disappears, then nothing happens other than the small blue circle spinning. Nothing loads.  It then says Lightroom is unresponsive and stays like that. For about 4 mins!!! It then appears, finally, but takes a while to load all the images. Once up and running, it's relatively smooth, but after about half an hour of editing, it starts to significantly slow down.  My computer runs from a 1Tb SSD M.2 drive with two others as dump drives. It's now running an MSI Z790 motherboard with BIOS co

When I'm in Lightroom Classic and choose to use the Attribute_Virtual Copy filter I get this message "No photos match this filter". I use this all the time and just noticed it stopped working yesterday. I, at first, thought it was due to this being in a new folder but, when I went to old folders and tried the filter it didn't work on them either. I rebooted the Mac and tried it again but, this filter still doesn't work. After doing all my "post" on a shot, I always make a virtual copy of it, so when I am done working on photos in a folder I can just apply this filter and "export with presets" the result.

Hello Lightroom Community,I'm experiencing a persistent issue and need your help:Lightroom unexpectedly closes while I'm editing.After this happens, the catalog file doesn't show up on my external drive (WD My Passport 4TB on Mac OS).Setup:Over 2.5TB of photos on an external driveMultiple catalogs on different drivesThis has been happening on and off for over a year. I've spent 9 months organizing and editing these photos, and I'm worried about losing my work. I do have back up for the files but not the new Cat that I upgraded.Questions:Why does Lightroom keep closing on its own during editing?Why does the catalog file disappear from my external drive after these incidents?How can I prevent this and recover my catalog?Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I have a problem with LRc on my Macbook Pro M1 (32 GB RAM/ 2 TB SSD): everything is running extremely slow. Changing from one photo to another takes e.g. about 30' in the "Development" module. The slowness applies to almost everything. It was not there from the beginning, but gradually increased within the last few months...   The Adobe support is underground: first one has to talk to a robot until the robot decides to give over to a human. The humans are little better, as they give general place paste/copy suggestions and refer to websides that are acessible anyhow, but all these suggestions do not help. Needless to say they fade away shortkly afterwards... . No advertisement for the expensive subscription 😞   I read here in the forum that the slowing down of LRc seems to be a common problem with Mac OS, but could not find a real solution. I wonder whether someone has found the problem and how to fix it. Below the system info...   Wolfgang Lightroom Classic vers

Hi, when I try to export the color profile generated by Xrite Color Checker Camera Calibration, I manage to visualize the profile from the image that generates it, but when I copy and paste the processing settings in another image, the generated profile does not appear. I uninstalled and reinstalled Lightroom Classic, but the problem is not solved. The path to the folder where the profile file is located is C:\UsersNameUserAppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles. Can you help me? Windows 11Lightroom Classic v. 13.5Camera RAW v. 16.5

Seit gestern 15.08.24 (letztes Update) lässt sich Lightroom Classic nicht mehr starten !!! 

I store my photos on an external hard drive. My catalog was on C drive. I moved it to the same directory in a new computer. However, the .lrcat files appear as folders and not a clickable file. If I excutre Lightroom, it creates a .lrcat file which, when I click, does not recognize any folders in the left panel and only suggests that I import the photos. This obviously will cause 15 years of hard work to be lost. What have gove wrong and how can I fix that? BTW - the old computer shos the .lrcat files correctly and when I move them to Dropbox for sncronization with the new machin they still look okay. But the new computer doesn't recognize them as clickable .lract files in Dropbox either. Your help will be grealty appreciated.

My system is Windows 11 with all the latest released updates. No beta code.       I had an interesting issue with LRc today. I could do everything except export to a file (e.g. jpg).  The error was To cut a long discussion short, the answer was that it doesn't like my use of the SUBST command to shorten and manage different directories.   The actual error was "The file could not be written (1)" followed by the name of the RAW file (even though I was trying to write a JPG).   Example: If I have the command: SUBST Y: c:\user\alans\synologydrive\pics Y:\Fuji\writablefolder is no good - I get an error in LR but C:\user\alans\synologydrive\pics\fuji\wrtablefolder works just fine.   Photoshop doesn't have this problem.   I think this is a bug. Every other app I have works fine using the Y: drive.   Cheers   Alan   [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]

Hi all,I am having this error with JPEG mini plug-in. It started yesterday out of nowhere, I have formated the PC and still having the same issue.JPEG mini outise lightrrom is working fine with no issues, it's just the plug in. Maybe some issue with LR? 

Put this as a bug because it seems to be but not sure if it is or if I've changed something? I used to press Cmd+E (Mac OS) when in Lr to open a Canon CR3 Raw in Photoshop. In the last day or so, when I press that Cmd+E it switches from Lr to Photoshop but the file just does not open at all.  If I right click and select open as Smart Object, it works fine and opens the CR3 as smart object. If I manually drop the CR3 from Finder into Photoshop it opens Camera Raw and then I can edit the file. All my apps (Lr, Photoshop & Camera Raw) are up to date according to creative cloud. No updates to install.I've not updated my Mac OS for a couple of months so it's not an update to that which has caused the issue. Any ideas on how to get back to being able to press Cmd+E and it opening the CR3 as a layer in Photoshop like it always used to?

I don't see any difference in my image when I view the softproof version using a vendor specific ICC file vs the original display.  However there is a big difference in the historgram.  Shouldn't I see a difference in the image when I look at the softproof version?

Hello, Since some time already, I've noticed that when using Lightroom Classic (macOS M1) and just clicking on the pictures, it automatically does an editing (very lightly, probably from Camera to Adobe settings or similar, I cannot really tell).However, this is annoying since when I do edit a picture and then I use the filters based on edits, I cannot distinguish those pictures that I indeed edited vs those that I just open to check. As I said, this was not happening before. Is it something I can deactivate somehow? Thanks for your help.

Bonjour,  Je me permets d'écrire ici car j'ai une question toute bête mais je n'arrive pas à trouver une réponse à ma problématique ... Je suis très adepte d'utiliser les différentes touches du clavier pour utiliser lightroom notamment pour le tri des photos. Je passe les photos une à une à l'aide des flèches du clavier et je fais un premier tri pour supprimer les photos floues, ratés, etc ... en appuyant sur la touche supprimer du clavier puis avec les flèches "supprimer du disque". Depuis que je suis passé sur mac les flèches ne permettent plus d'atteindre l'option "supprimer du disque", ça reste bloquer sur "retirer de lightroom" ce qui m'oblige donc à utiliser ma souris ... Avez-vous une solution à ce petit soucis svp ? Je vous remercie par avance pour votre aide !  Pierr

  Generative Remove in Lightroom Classic   Open Lightroom Classic   Did you know that the new Generative Remove, powered by Adobe Firefly, lets you quickly and easily remove unwanted objects from an image? Also, with the Lightroom Classic version (v13.3), the Heal tool has been renamed to Remove. Learn more here.   Here are some quick tips & steps to get started with Generative Remove and to get the desired results.    ❶ In the Develop module, select the Remove (Q) tool, switch the mode to Remove from Clone or Heal, and enable Generative AI. Select (i) to learn more about Generative AI User Guidelines.   ❷ Adjust the brush Size and the overlay Opacity to Brush over the object you want to remove. You can adjust the selection in Mask Refinement & then click Apply. Additional tips: Enlarge your selection - if your brush stroke is too tight, you will have unexpected results. Removing an object means painting over it, its shadow, reflection, an

Every image I've tried to use the new masking Select Subject/ Select Sky masks on I get the same error:  "No Subject Detected: Couldn't find a subject to select. There might not be prominent objects in the photo."  But I've tried this on so many images at this point, ones with very clear, blue skies with fluffy clouds, or clear human subjects and it never finds anything to mask. I've tried this on raw images and jpeg's just to see if that helped.  Is there a setting I maybe am missing?My system I'm running on:macOS Big Sur v11.6MacBook Pro Retina, 15" Mid2015Processor: 2.2 GHz Quad-Core i7Memory: 16GB Thank you! 

I store all my photos on an external hard drive in one catalogue.  I would like to retire my older hard drive and switch to a new one.   I have backed up all the photos to the new drive.   If I just import the photos to lightroom using the new drive all the edit history is gone.   Could someone please direct me to an article or video explaining how to do this and keep the edit history?  Also, how often do most people retire external hard drives and switch to a new one to reduce risk of failure?    Apologies if this is a basic skill - fairly new to all this!

My MacBook recently died and I lost my Lightroom catalog (was not backed up anywhere aside from internally). However, I can still access this lost catalog and its associated collections / edits from my Lightroom Mobile and web accounts. My question is: is there any way that I can restore these collections and edits to my new catalog on my new computer?

I'm running Lightroom Classic v. 13.5 on a Mac Studio M2 Max under macOS Sonoma 14.6.1.This issue did not exist for me in versions of Lightroom Classic prior to 13.4. Lightroom used to accurately select the subject, most of the time. In my case, the subject is almost always a person, sometimes more than one person. I often photograph people on the street, and I typically use Lightroom's masking to selectively apply edits to the subject(s) and to the background, separately.I just upgraded to v 13.5, and I was hoping that this issue, which first appeared in v 13.4 for me, would be fixed, but the latest version's masking behavior is the same as the previous version: when I go to masking and click on Background, under Add New Mask:, Lightroom creates a mask that includes the Subject.I have "Show Overlay" enabled, and my overlays have a translucent reddish color.I've found a workaround for this. I click on the Subtract button and select the entire person (Subject) who I want to separat

Tengo una camara canon sl3 con el ultimo firmware 3.0  completamente actualizado, y me conecta super bien la camara a lightroom, puedo disparar desde este, ver por la vision directa; pero no guarda la foto en la carpera a lo que dispara ya sea con  la camara o desde la aplicacion, ya prove con diversos cablres y desinstalandoy re instalando la apliccion pero sigue con este problema, y la verdad yo utilizo mucho esta opcion.

I installed Lightroom Classic 13.3 early Tuesday morning. It has been running almost constantly since. I have taken it down about three times and brought it back up. For at least the last 24 hours, when I hover my cursor over the Cloud icon in the upper right, I see "Uploading 13 photos". I have synched another collection and later unsynched another. During those times the number changes for a few minutes but soon returns to 13. I have captured a Lightroom Diagnostic file but am not sure how to get it to you.   Thanks, Alan Hunt.   Here is my system info: Lightroom Classic version: 13.3 [ 202405092057-40441e28 ] License: Creative Cloud Language setting: en Operating system: Windows 11 - Home Premium Edition Version: 11.0.22631 Application architecture: x64 System architecture: x64 Logical processor count: 20 Processor speed: 2.9GHz SqLite Version: 3.36.0 CPU Utilisation: 0.0% Power Source: Plugged In, 100%  Built-in memory: 65220.6 MB Dedicated GPU memory used by Lightro

I have a timelapse sequence of a couple hundred images. Other AI masks sync, but the remove adjustment does not. Is this due to its "beta" nature, or will it always behave this way? Thank you.
