Hi all,I have my photography files stored in NAS drive. And I can't take it with me on 2 month vacation.I would like to copy somehow several folders to external drive with me to work on during summer. How can I do it in Lightroom catalog without messing it up?  I don't want to MOVE the files - as (God forbid) anything might happen to that drive and I don't want a chance of losing my files. Is there any solution to keep current catalog with 2 copies of the same files (temporary) and then somehow replace new edited files to my NAS after I return back? Anyone has a system for these sort of situations?Thanks!

Hi,  Running Windows 11 v23H2 Lightroom Classic v 13-3-2   Recently took multiple photos in a new location without adjusting camera for 8 hour time difference.   New to Lightroom but following tried to adjust and the time and date shown in the EXIF data for the images does NOT change whilst if I go back into the Edit Capture Time Dialog Box it seems to have recorded the change. It may be a simple fix but I haven't found it yet so HELP!   {Moved from Lightroom Cloud to Lightroom Classic Forum by Moderator} 

Hi. I have a problem with the connection. On a desktop PC, shooting with a connected camera works perfectly. As soon as I press the shutter button, the picture immediately enters Lightroom. Everything is stable and without problems. But everything is bad with the laptop. I'm trying to connect the same camera with the same wire. Lightroom sees the connected camera, sees the settings of the connected camera, even live view shows perfectly. But after the shutter button, not a single picture gets into lightroom. It's just that nothing happens.  I have already reinstalled windows on my laptop, but the result has not changed. P.S. if I shoot through eos utility, then everything works fine. and on a laptop. I tried to work in lightroom through eos utility, but it takes longer than in lightroom right away. Help!

I've downloaded the LR/Enfuse plugin. I've added it to the LR plug-in manager, but when I open Enfuse to blend images I get this message "Please Install the Enfuse application via the “Configuration Tab”" and the Enfuse Images button is greyed out. I can't do anything with this plug-in? Can anyone advise please as I don't understand how to load this plug-in via the configuration tab - I followed the download instruction from the Photographers Toolbox website. Thanks. 

So since the last update, I cannot upload files to a Lightroom gallery via my synced collections. Is there a fix for this?   My normal process is to sync a collection of images and then hit the Make Public button, which usually works like a charm. Now I go through that process and no images are uploaded.    I am operating a Mac Studio with M1 Ultra chip and my OS is 14.5   Thank you in advance for any advice you might have.  [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.

 I've been having two problems with getting multiple raw files to move from LR classic into one PS document.  I've tried to use the Edit in-Open as Smart Object Layers in Photoshop, but only the first selected file opens in PS.  I've also tried to open each raw file as a Smart Object separately.  With multiple files open as Smart Objects in PS, I tried to select all/copy/paste one of them onto another.  The file I copied lost its Smart Object icon when it was copied into the other file.  Even if the Open as Smart Object Layers was not working, I would think the copy/paste method could give me multiple Smart Objects in one file.  What do you suppose is the problem?  I'm using the latest updates for both LR classic and PS, operating on a Windows 11 desktop, also updated.  Thanks for your help. Kathy B

Hi - does anyone have - or can point me to - a converter for a Huawei P20 Pro DNG?Principlally to eliminate the horrible vignetting/colour hue.Or a Lightroom preset? Is this something that Adobe shoule have somewhere in their library? I have Lightroom 6 and Elements 2019. Many Thanks

I always keep the crop padlock closed. On this one rare occasion, I opened it, and now it's open every time I go into Crop mode. How can I get back to my preferred way, which is to have the Padlock always default to being closed every time I go into Crop mode? At the moment, I have to close it every time I go into Crop, which is annoying. Thanks. 

I had to create a new catalogue and re-import everything in my old catalog. So far it appears I have or can easily restore everything that matters back EXCEPT the colored lables on my folders. Where is this data is stored? I'm on the latest version of Lightroom Classic on Windows 10, but with my own file structure, so I need to know where it is relative to other Lightroom files.

I printed two 8x10 cells side-by-side on a roll of paper. I set the Paper Width to 17 inches and the Paper Length to 10 inches. I wanted to save paper, so I figured making the length 10 inches would leave enough excess at the top and the bottom to make a 1/8-inch border, which it did. The problem is that the right side border had no border where I was expecting, as shown by the Lr Print Module and the Print Preview, a 1/8 inch border. Now, the 8x10 print on the right side is wasted. I checked the paper roll, and the paper is flush with the side of the paper feed, so this is not a paper alignment issue.  Why did this happen? Below are my printer properties settings and screenshots of the Lr Print Module screen, Print Preview, and the resulting print.  

I hope that someone can point me in the right direction.    I'm using LR Classic on an M3 MacBook Pro. Both LR and the OS are up to date.   My images are contianed on an external hard drive and my catalogue backs up to Dropox.    For no readily apparent reason I am now getting an error message as follows:-     I have tried to change permissions in the OS, but it says I don't have the permissions to make such changes.  I've given LR  Full Disk permission but to no effect. I get the same error message.  This problem has come out of the blue and so I'm very confused. I would be grateful for some guidance on resolving this issue.   Thanks Stephen   {Moved from Lightroom Cloud to Lightroom Classic Forum by Moderator}     

I have moved to a new machine (Windows 11) and am experiencing slow performance issues with LR. I am running the latest version. I have all of my LR settings identical to what I had on my other machine (Windows 10) and optimize the catalog regularly. The performance is great except when moving from photo to photo or when trying to run the slideshow. Please see attached.   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

I just installed the new version of Lightroom Classic on my iMac, running OS 10.13.1Suddenly the LR window is huge and unwieldy. Is there any way to resize it to make it smaller?Thank you.

  Hello everyone! I REALLY need help with this tethering problem. I've also never tethered before. In Adobe Lightroom Classic live view I was trying to take a portrait shot. I'm shooting with a Canon 77D on a MacBook.  As you can see my live view is cropping the actual photo (1st attachment, smaller photo on the left is after the photo was taken). When I flip the live view orientation (second photo), it's no longer cropped. But that's means I'd have to flip my laptop on its side for the whole tethering session?? I can't even find this problem on Google and support has to call me back today because they couldn't figure it out (with screen share). Any help is highly appreciated, thank you!!     

After the last LR update, the Preferences menu does no longer open. LR does not crash, it simply opens without showing the Preferences window. Because it thinks the window is open, it does not let me click anywhere else but I can 'close' the imaginery preferences by pressing ESC. Every other menu seems to work. I tried de and reinstalling LR but to no avail. Then I read about resetting the preferences (hold ALT+Shift on LR Startup). This solves the initial problem, but now my whole library has lost the color coding (and probably more, I didn't check any further). Luckily I still have the old 'Lightroom Classic CC 7 Preferences.agprefs' file. If I replace the new with the old, I get my colors back but then again the preferences menu is no longer accessible. I opened the .agprefs file in a texteditor and compared new vs. old in the hope I could just copy over the important part from my old file, but the file is huge and the relevant information seems to be all over the place.&n

New to posting to the Forum here, I'm hoping someone may have a suggestion or two that I havent already tried...lol."Lightroom encountered an error while reading its preview cache and needs to quit". I keep getting this error randomly, sometimes when switching between Develop and Library Modules.

Hi all I was bowled over when Generative Removal came to LrC.  In the previous release I was able to unwanted remove people and objects from my images with absolute ease.  Since I updated to 13.4 however I have not been able to sucessfully remove a single person or object from any of my new pictures. Has anyone had the same issue?   Many thanks 

Hello! 🙂 I have a big big question. Why I can't use Adobe Colour or Adobe Standard in Lightroom for Nikon Z7II? Instead I can use those profiles for Nikon D610. The details in DSRL looks different and more appropiate with the camera. Instead, the profiles for mirrorless are desaturated and dull. For Nikon Z7 i use camera standard profile but the edit is different. I like to edit more the dslr on adobe colour profile. The details look different in edit and the kelvin scale is different too... The lens i use is sigma 35 art 1.4.   First photo. with dslr Second. mirrorless   dslrmirrorlessmirrorlessdslrdslr  

Hello, I have been searching the internet and youtube for hours now trying to understand why i am not able to install the presets that ive purchased for lightroom cc. They are .xmp files, I have went into lightroom > prefrences > show lightroom presets folder, have unzipped the downloads, moved them on to my desk top and clicked and dragged them in to the "develop presets" folder on lightroom then closed lightroom, re-opened it, the folders that are named after the presets appear on the left side of lightroom but when I click on the folder to open it the little arrow points down and the presets are not in the folder/ don't appear. I have tried moving them into different folders, re-downloading the presets, etc. Most instructions online say to right click on the preset folder in lightroom and clicking on "import" then selecting the .zip file, which contain the presets, when I do this the .zip file and the .xmp files are shaded out and I am unable to click on them to import them.
