Lightroom Classic

Hi all. Recently I upgraded my SATA 2TB Hard Disk to a NMVe 2TB to use on Lightroom Classic. I always have a mirrored backup of all my photos, synced with the drive origin. Some days ago I tried to open one file and I got a exclamation icon saying that the file is corrupt. Unfortunately I don't have the original files on the Hard Disk before copied to the NMVe. I only have the backup from the NMVe, so my backup has the file corrupted too. Maybe the problem is the NMVe hardware, but my question is simple: There is a way to select all files from a folder and check if it is corrupted or not? Inside the Lightroom Classic? Generating previews? Or a simple way is available? Just wanna check to see what is corrupted from my catalog.  Thanks! 

Somehow, when accidentally touching the screen with the cursor while editing an image a little dimension box appears that cannot be gotten rid of unless I quit Lightroom and re-start Lightroom. It also stays on screen going to other apps, for instance signing on to these forums... there it is. What is it and how do I turn it off? The excape key and all other keys do nothing to get rid of it. I need help as it's a plain nuisance... TIA,  Ken

After the Lightroom Classic Beta disappeared from my computer, it appears all of its catalogs did as well. I did not uninstall the software and I've searched multiple times in Finder for a .lrcat file and haven't found any older than June 30. I've opened that catalog, updated it, and it's empty. Backups are also gone. Where did my files go?!

I know Lightroom 6 is End-Of-Life but trying to install it. Customer support said I can ask the community.It completes installation and then says installation failed.

Hi I installed Lightroom 6 on my new notebook, but i wasn't able to activate the license.I currently installed it on one PC und tried to install it on my notebook. I tried to logout from my saved backup VM from my last notebook, but it was not successful. How can i install Lightroom 6 again? Regards

Since the Healing/Spot Removal tab received the Generative AI addition, when I try to sync spot removal from lots of photos (not using generative ai) it takes forever. I am removing 2 dust spots from 120 images for a timelapse right now and it is taking 14 minutes because LR says "Your edits were synced, but updating AI settings may take some time". I didn't use any generative ai, I went through my normal process to remove dust spots. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hello. Please help, I don’t know what to do or what the problem is. I have already watched 100 tutorial videos on how to save photos, tried different methods, but I still can’t save the photo in HDR. Although I have set all the settings for saving, what could be the problem? Please let me know. I urgently need a solution. I processed the photo for work, but I can’t save it, so do I have to process it all over again without HDR?

In Develop module/Soft Print mode, My "Create Proof Copy" button is AWOL (LrC 13.4, Mac Sonoma 14.5). To send photos to a print house, I need to modify them so they will print accurately. I want to maintain a copy of the original and a copy (as .dng before export as .jpg) of what I send to the print house. Ideas? Thanks!

I had to create a collection that contained photos from many different dated folders. Then I wanted to delete all those photos. As it's not possible to delete a photo from viewing a collection (which seems strange to me but anyway...) I had to use the "go to folder in library" option and delete from there. However that leaves the navigation pane halfway (or more) down the list of folders, when I want to be back in my collection. So I have to move the scrollbar all the way to the top, expand the list of collections, select my collection and repeat the process. It was really tedious. Is there anyway to either (1) collapse all the open folders with a keyboard shortcut so I don't have to scroll up to the top again or (2) use a keyboard shortcut to go to collections in the navigation pane?

Lightroom Classic is really slow, everything including zooming, masking, panning.. Yes I have last drivers, yes I have studio driver, yes i setup driver to prefer max perfotmance, yes i have extra catalog for each shooting, i7 9700K + RTX4060Ti + 64GB RAM, fast SSD.. and this software getting more and more slow with every update. Is there a way to speed up LR?

I have multipul backups but cannot seem to load any of them it happened with a window mad swiich and to add insult to injury i cannot find the windows hard drives that i pulled when I took the home tower out.any any help will bless me. this has been devastating. 

I would like to remove the -2 at the end of my photo file names after moving them, that gets added if I did not clean out my import folder. Is it possible to automate this?

I just purchased a new camera, Panasonic Lumix FZ80D. I wasn't able to upload photos to Adobe Lightroom Classic and figured I needed to download to the latest version of the application. However, the download failed and I got the message that I wasn't able to overwrite with the same version. I'm sure I wasn't using the latest version but now I can't check because I can't open Lightroom at all and get the message "The application Adobe Ligntroom Classic can't be opened." What do I do now?   Doris    P.S. I have a MAC

Raw defaults aren't applied to a Denoise DNG when the DNG is imported. To reproduce in LR 13.2 / Mac OS:   1. Download, unzip, and open this small catalog in LR: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ewd4kyct5pqw4t9/raw-defaults-bug.2024.05.19.zip?dl=0   2. Do File > Import Develop Profiles And Presets and import "Exposure = 5.xmp" from the catalog folder.   3. Set Preferences > Presets > Raw Defaults > Global to User Preset: Exposure = 5.   4. In the Library Folders panel, right-click the folder "raw-defaults" and do Synchronize, with Show Import Dialog Before Importing. Ensure that Build Previews: Standard and Develop Settings: None are set.   5. Observe that the raw default preset Exposure = 5 has been applied to IMG_9340.DNG (an Apple ProRAW photo) but not to DSCF2425-Enhanced-NR.dng (made with Denoise).    6. Edit DSCF2425-Enhanced-NR.dng in Develop. Observe that Exposure = 0.   7. Click Reset and observe that Exposure is now 5.

Have been noticing since installing LRC 13.4, performance on my M1 iMac is very slow and now is causing serious crashes.   HW: iMac M1, 8GB RAM, LR catalog lives on an external M.2 drive.  Been using this drive and hardware for several years without a problem.  Disk Utulity shows external drive is fine. I have a large catalog (~2,5TB) setup on the M.2 with 1 folder per year, and subfolders using the YYYYMMDD_TITLE format. Since installing 14.6.1 yesterday, I tried to access a 2019 folder.  LR indicates there is noting there and I get a spinning beachball.  In a minute or two, LR crashes AND I get a notification that the external droive has been ejected.  My iMac requires a reboot for the M.2 drive to be recognized agaion. Acccessing the past couple of jobs/subfolders in the 2024 folder on the M.2 is OK ... slow ... but no crash. I can access the entire M.2 drive through Finder, and with other image programs such as NX Studio (Nikon

I am experiencing the spinning wheel every time I try to export a photo from Lightroom. This wasn't a problem until I loaded some presets. Now I'm not sure how to save my work or fix the issue. Does anyone have any ideas?  Thank you in advance!

Hi guys,My camera always sees my Extreme Pro Sandisk 128 GB memory card. My LRC on the other hand ... not always; it sometimes takes cajoling. Is it a matter of aging copper contacts (or whatever they are called)? Or is it jut dirt?  Any ideas?  Thanks a lot.
