Lightroom Classic

Lighroom import dialogue detects the cfexpress card reader but cannot see any photos in the main direcotry nor in any subfolders.  Import of photos is therefore impossible.   However, Adobe Bridge can see the cfexpress card in the reader and see all the sub folders and photos.  So can the Finder (I am using Mac).  It is possible to import photos by dragging and droppring the thumbnails from Bridge to the Lightroom import dialogue.  I cannot understand why Bridge can see the photos but Lightroom cannot because they are both Adobe products.  Hope Adobe can resolve this issue.  BTW the Import Dailogue works normally with a direct USB connection from camera to the computer (a Mac Mini).  Thank you in advance to anyone who has an answer to this issue. 

Bonjour,J'utilise la version 13.4 de Lightroom actuellement en ligne avec un Macbook pro. Comment mettre en surbrillance la zone choisie pour être copié pour éventuellement la bouger si ça ne me convient pas.Merci beaucoup.

I am reporting an XMP spec error, not a LrC bug, but I can't find a better area to report the issue. An old thread mentioned LrC had no TZ support / didn't recognise offsets in metadata. However, I have noticed that XMP files are created incorporating a TZ adjustment on the end of 'exif:DateTimeOriginal', like this:exif:DateTimeOriginal="2022-09-11T04:28:49.366-05:00" The TZ adjustment in 'OffsetTime' can also include daylight time adjustments too, so one needs to tread carefully. LrC appears to be doing the correct processing from the tests I have done with a Nikon Z6, Canon G7x Mark ii and a Sony Alpha 7 IV. (see attached file for some comparisons). The XMP Spec says:EXIF tags 36867, 0x9003 (primary) and 37521, 0x9291 (subseconds). Date and time when original image was generated, in ISO 8601 format. Includes the EXIF SubSecTimeOriginal data. Note that Exif date-time values have no time zone information. The spec seems to be incorrect and may need to catch up

Some time ago I posted my issue but am unable to find the post, so here goes again: All of a sudden (I may have updated a graphics card or run Norton anti virus) my windows 11 pc takes 8 minutes to launch Lightroom Classic (v13.4). Once loaded I can edit away, no problems.1) I uninstalled LRC from Crative cloud & reinstalled2) I uninstalled LRC and Photoshop and reinstalled starting with PS3)I dissable GOU once in LRC4) I created a new empty catolog on my local drive5) installed previous version of LRC None of the above helped. Can someone please offer a suggest route to fix other than gortmating my drive.

After HDR stacking a couple dozen sets of images, CTRL-H (to invoke HDR stacking) switches to opening Outlook. Tried switching around to different functions and images to no avail. Shutting down and restarting Lightroom gets it back. Forgot to try the menu option, next time it happens I'll try that. 

I have LR 5.7.1. When I'm in library and going through my pictures, flagging some, I''ve suddenly run into a problem where some of my photos, once you double-click them in the loupe view to get a bigger view, are way out of focus. They don't appear to be out of focus in the loupe view .I've never had this problem before. This is in keeping with my changing to another catalog because for my regular catalog I got the message "LR encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit". (an issue I've dealt with before but will probably need help with again.)Also--for the first time in my use of LR, in the tray I've gotten on a couple of photos an exclmation mark indicating I've made some mistake with a particular photo. Now what does that mean?Thanks,Al Marotta

Bonjour, Depuis ce matin le panneau supprimer dans lighroom classic n'a plus d'action sur les photos. Habituellement les outils comme le tampon dupliquer fonctionne bien et même corriger aussi et supprimer aussi mais là ça ne fonctionne plus auriez-vous un indice pour m'aider?Merci beaucoup de votre aide.

Okay, I'm at a loss at what's going on and I desperately need some advice.Lightroom Classic seems to have gone crazy. It will not save any of my AI masks (select subject, select sky, etc.) or the generative AI fill. Every time I navigate away from the image with either of these, I got a little triangle alert saying I need to update my settings. If I do this, the AI masks comes back, but as soon as I move to the next image and come back to that photo, the triangle is there again. I was in a time crunch and so I spent time manually exporting individual photos. Suddenly, asking Lightroom to export a photo took 5 minutes. The loading screen to save the export. It also takes an extremely long time to erase rejected photos from Lightroom and to open a photo from Lightroom to Photoshop.Additionally, Lightroom will no longer back up my catalog. It keeps giving me an error to check permissions on my computer. I've restarted my computer, I've restarted lightroom, I've uninstalled and reinst

Hello everyone, when using the "Denoise" function for images, a denoised copy of the file is created by default and the image is stacked. I was not aware of this function at first, but it now increases the memory requirements considerably. I have now disabled the function, but would like to know how I can combine the previously processed images into one image. Is there a way to do this? Many thanks and best regards!

Hola! Tengo un macbook air M1 16gb de ram y estoy trabajando con un disco duro externo de 1tb que está lleno un 60% aprox. Y noto que depende como, porque tampoco es siempre, va lento, al hacer cualquier cosa, pasar de fotos, recortar, etc. (ahora mismo en una carpeta con 600 fotos pero solo trabajo con unas 200). Necesitaría saber si es problema del ordenador, del disco duro externo o del propio programa.Alguien tiene alguna idea? Gracias!

Meine Fotos haben GPS Daten, doch werden diese in Lightroom Classic nicht angezeigt. In der Adobe Bridge werden dies Daten sehr  wohl angezeigt. Früher würden diese Daten sofort beim Importieren übernommen und auch in LrC angezeigt.  Jetzt nicht mehr.Warum?Die deutsprachige Online Hilfe war bis jetzt auch keine Hilfe. Die Englischsprachige schmeisst dich immer gleich wieder raus. Wirlklich toll. Helmut

Hi all, I run Classic on both my laptop and desktop.  Both are Mac, same OS, same LR Classic versions.  I don't use online or creative cloud storage for several reasons, but the largest being that most of my photos are taken on destination trips, and then I do quite a bit of editing in Classic+Photoshop on plane flights, which seem to be the only time I can disconnect and enjoy editing photos.  However, if I don't have that time, the rest end up on desktop for me to edit there. I export my keepers easily enough from the laptop, and sync its entire Lightroom directory structure to NAS when back at home so everything is backed up, but I'd really love to merge those missing dates into the desktop copy. Is there any way to accomplish this, whether via export/import, manual work, etc?  I have all the raws, they're foldered by date so I can also easily sync the directories in, but that of course does not bring the changes in that only Lightroom knows about so I

Hi, I have been hit with multiple problems after running Lightroom 6 for over 6 years.  they are as follows:1. After having a new motherboard installed, I attempted to open LR 6 and informed me I was on a trial license.  Note two days before sending the machine to the shop for a new motherboard LR was working OK. 2. Attempting to reenter my product license number was a nightmare.  I dont fully recall the steps as I cant repeat them now because of the problem I note in point ().  However, roughly the steps were:a. LR asked me to sign in via a QR code but I used the provided URL and did the following steps on my computer in which LR was open .b. I logged in via the URLc. Provided the security code and this was acceptedd. Went back to LR to complete the login but was asked to login againe. Eventually I got locked out 3. I returned to day to try again but this time when I open LR and when I click the button to sign in on the Sign in dialog box (note at th

As i have noticed this is a issue that dates back over 7 years. I didnt like lightroom and want to cancel my subscription as the trial has ended. But the only way adobe let me do this is to update method and PAY! ridiculous.. I need to pay for a service i wont use.  I am going to subscription for Premier pro but if I update my method i will pay an additional 12€~ for Lightroom wich i dont accept.  So I wont pay for NOTHING until this is solved.   

I am using LrC 13.3 on Mac Ventura 13.6.7, but the same problem was in LrC 13.2.  My Sony A6700 HIF (HEIF) vertical/portrait photos in the grid view are not properly rotated.  When I open one it is also not properly rotated.  They are all displayed in horizontal/landscape orientation until I manually rotate them.  I noticed the same improper behavior with LrC 13.2 on my Windows 11 PC, but I do not have it with me at the moment.

Dear LR community, Unfortunately, my wife accidentally imported not only the desired images from the hard disk yesterday, but also many other images, e.g. from programs, due to the "Include subfolders" function. We suspect that she imported the "Home" folder, but she can no longer say for sure.We do have a backup of our Mac, but we don't want to completely rebuild the system.Do you have any ideas on the best way to deal with this? That would be great. Thank you and best regards

Hi Guys, Seeing if anyone else has any issues with thisAnytime I try to import more then 200 photos, my mac will crash, I use Lightroom Classic on an M2 Pro, photos are stored over the network and libary has been stored on an ext hdd over USB 3. At first I thought it was an M1 issue so I moved to an M2 Pro being better specs and processor.Though I am still coming across this issue and I don't know how to fix it, I have tried storing photos locally, still having the same issue, the libary was stored locally orginally.Anyone else come across this issue or know how to fix it?

Hallo!Im Netz lese ich zu dieser Frage verschiedene Antworten - bis hin zu Chaos im LrC-Katalog. Daher zur Sicherheit eine konkrete Frage:Ausgangslage: MacBook Air M2, LrC, LrC-Katalog auf der internen SSD, importierte Fotos auf einer externen 2TB-SSD, fast alle Fotos in LrC entwickelt bzw. bearbeitet und mit Stichwörtern versehen.Da der Platz auf der externen 2TB-SSD langsam knapp wird, habe ich mir eine neue 4TB-SSD zugelegt.Frage: Ich würde gerne alle Fotos auf die neue 4TB-SSD verschieben und meine Entwicklungen, Bearbeitungen und Stichwörter in LrC behalten. Ordnerstruktur auf der neuen 4TB-SSD soll ident sein mit jener der alten 2TB-SSD. Geht das und wenn ja, wie? Lg, Peter.

Hello all,I imported some presets on my Macbook Air and noticed the intensity slider does not work with the presets. I have exactly the same presets on my iMac and there the intensity slider works fine.Both Macbook and iMac are Sonoma 14.5 and LR Classic 13.4How can this be?Anyone an idea?Thanks

I'm running LRC 13.3.1 on a MBP M3. Just now (22 June 2024) I noticed this: I batched processed about 150 photos. While I was checking them one by one to see if they were OK, the changes were made (the sliders moved) but they were not visible, not even pressing / (before/after). Once I moved a slider (e.g.: white balance) then all the changes became visible. So I couldn't check the results of the auto processing unless I moved a slider, which needless to say, is annoying.

I have created and saved a custom print template that has five 5x7 fields arranged on a 13x19 sheet of paper. I can add images to these fields and print the page, no problem. But I would like to set up multiple pages with this template and then lay out all my images before printing. When I try to ADD another page, and apply the same custom template to it, the first page disappears along with all the photos I had placed, and a new page with my template replaces it. I dont understand the point of the "Add Page" button if it merely wipes out my page 1 and replaces it with a blank page. Does the "add page" button only work for the canned/pre-set templates and contact sheets? Is there a way to keep adding new pages with my custom template, so that I can keep placing photos and end up with multiple pages of images, and then save that set of prints as a project/print job in LR -- or at least as a multi-page PDF? I am not trying to make a Blurb Book, I am trying to print and bind my own b

The last step of the "Lightroom Sync FAQ" troubleshooting guide says to contact support - how do I do that?? I've been searching their help page for 30 min and it just sends me on endless asine loops through articles & pseudo AI bots as useless as the original FAQ. Uninstalled/reinstalled multiple times at this point as well.   Are there any known fixes to this issue? I am stuck with "553 photos" out of sync, and nothing making it to LR mobile for weeks now.    Looking forward to Capture One launching cloud features so that Adobe has even modest competition in the space.  [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]  

I upgraded my LR Classic to the latest update a few weeks ago and I just upgraded my catalog according to the prompt in LR Classic and now my import is not "seeing" old photos as already imported. I'm trying to import from my phone and more than half of the photos have already been imported. LR has always recognized duplicates and I have everything set the same for my importing, but I have tried multiple times and I get the same issue. Is this a problem after the last LR Classic update?

I have been asked many, many times to provide a story about a photo. Anything about why I took it, what I thought when I took it, where, when. Etc. Also, for personal, and family photos, that may be printed the context and meaning of the content of the photo may be lost. Think two generations down the road. A simple story, even one line, or the names of people in the photo would add a lot of meaning to family members two or three generations later.This could be displayed below the photo. when printed near the info data. I'm not sure where to place it on an export.

I am trying to make some new profiles in Photoshop camera raw and I am seeing that these are supposed to sync with lightroom if closed and re-opened. But once I open lightroom and try to add user profiles, the option to also view user profiles isn't showing up. In Camera Raw ( photoshop ) I can with the profiles I've crated but not in lightroom. Can some help me with this please ? Please note I am talking about profiles and not presets.
