Lightroom Classic

Hi guys,I am a wedding photographer and web developer quite okay with colour spaces. So here is my problem. Adobe Lightroom Classic is using Adobe Colour profile for my images but when I export the images the image looks totally different. Before you think I am a newbi here is what I have done so far. 1. I understand colour space differences. I also used the soft proofing option within LR with sRGB profile to see how it will look. Soft proofing and develop module gives me the same look, but after exporting is totally oversaturated. 2. I am using my Dell Ultrasharp Premier Colour monitor calibrated to perfection and I am using the monitor in sRGB mode. 3. The exported image is oversaturated compared to LR on ANY DEVICEs. So I export the image, and that images looks exactly the same oversaturated on Iphone, Ipad, Samsung phones, and laptops. 4. I have the same version of Lightroom on my laptop, and if I export it there, it does not alter the settings. I use the s

I use the fabulous autostack by time feature in LR Classic (latest version as of the date of this post).  This neatens and clarifies what is included in any stacks I have made most of which are in the hundreds of raw images.However when I want to select a stack to export to other applications selecting the stack only grabs the first image and the stack must be laboriously expanded and then the firsts and last images must be selected (in windows) via the shift key.  This is not so easy when navigating down several pages of thumbnails.A simple feature beneath the right click ‘stack’ option could be added to those already there to ‘Select all images in the stack’ Simplez  cheersIan

AI processing is in progress for this photo. Editing is temporarily unavailable. Happened on a few photos when I tried to sync settings. Hasn’t resolved and its been over 24 hours. 

Hi, I’m using macOS 12.7.6 (Monterey) and the latest Lightroom Classic isn’t supported on my system.I have an active Adobe account and I’m also a student.Could you please help me access or provide a download link for Lightroom Classic 11, which is compatible with Monterey?Thank you very much!

Lightroom Classicでファイルを開くと、画面左上に表示されるプレビューと、画像表示領域で色味が異なります。 （画像を添付します。）本来黒い文字が青っぽく写っていると思います。サンプルのためにPNGファイルを開いたときに気づきましたが、これがPNGファイルに依存しているかどうかは確認できておりません。Lightroom Classicはどうして色差が出る仕様なのか、また回避策があるのか知りたいです。環境：・Lightroom Classic（15.5.1）・OS: Macbook Pro (15.7.3)よろしくお願いします。---When I open a file in Lightroom Classic, the preview shown in the upper-left area of the Library module displays different color tones compared to the image shown in the main Develop view. (I will attach sample images.)The text that should be black appears blue.I first noticed this when opening a PNG file, but I am not yet sure whether this behavior is specific to PNG files or not.I would like to understand why Lightroom Classic shows this color difference between the Library preview and the Develop module. Also, if there are any ways to minimize or avoid this discrepancy, I would appreciate your advice.Environment: ・Lightroom Classic 15.5.1 ・macOS 15.7.3 (MacBook Pro)Thank you in advance.

Lightroom Classic tether function was finally working without issue, but after latestest update (14.1.1) will no longer fire via the tether shooting panel when camera (Nikon 850) is in mirror lock-up mode. The other functions work fine, i.e., shuutter speed, aperture, ISO.. all communicate with camera and adjust, but after first click of shutter release (via tether panel) camera just locks with "PC" on LCD. OS: Win 11

ISSUE: Main thread pinned in recursive Lua cycle (AgKernel) during Library interaction. It should be reproducible with a stripped catalog and zero-byte files.---Lightroom Classic 15.5.1Camera Raw 18.5.1macOS 27.0 (though it has been occuring since macOS 15)Mac Studio (Mac13,1), Apple M1 Max, 64 GB RAMStudio Display, 5120x2880 (2560x1440 logical)Catalog: 40,748 photos, 1,133 folders---SUMMARY: Within seconds of ordinary Library interaction (scrolling the grid, switching to another app and back), Lightroom Classic's main thread enters a Lua coroutine via a run-loop source and never returns. The run loop stops servicing its Mach port, so the application stops processing events. CPU sits at exactly 100% - one core, one thread. The only recovery is quitting and relaunching. This has persisted for almost two years across fresh macOS installs, fresh Lightroom installs, and rebuilt catalogs.IMPORTANT FOR REPRODUCTION: This requires real hand interaction.

Assisted Culling is now generally available in Lightroom ClassicTL; DR: Assisted Culling has graduated from Early Access to General Availability. It gives you a fast, reviewable first pass on large shoots: it surfaces your strongest frames and sets aside the obvious rejects, so you spend less time comparing near-duplicates. You stay in control: review everything, adjust the thresholds, and override any call. If you tried it back in October 2025, it's substantially more accurate now, especially for wedding, event, group, and portrait work. We'd love for you to give it another look and tell us what you think in this thread.  What it does Open an album or collection, run a cull, and Assisted Culling analyzes your images against the criteria you choose: Subject Sharpness, Eye Sharpness, Eyes Open, exposure, and more. It marks Selects and Rejects, shows you why behind every call, and leaves the final decision to you. How far it's come since Early Access  February 2026: Expanded from individ

Exporting a portrait video at Quality: Max (up to 4K) chooses a target resolution that is much less than 4K, with a lower frame rate than the source. To reproduce on LR 15.5.1 / Mac OS 26.6.2: 1. Open the attached catalog. 2. Select the video Portrait.mov and do File > Export. 3. In the Video section, select Quality: Max (up to 4K) and observe that the Source resolution is 2160 x 3840, 60 FPS (correct), but the target resolution is 1920 x 1080, 30 FPS (incorrect) -- it should be 3840 x 2160 (or similar horizontal 4K resolution), 60 FPS:  4. Do the export and observe that the resolution of the output is indeed 1920 x 1080, 30 FPS (incorrect), with the portrait video inserted as letterbox (black borders on the left and right).  The exported video should be 3840 x 2160, 60 FPS (or similar horizontal 4K resolution), with the video inserted as letterbox. 5. Select Landscape.mp4 and export it with Quality: Max, and observe the Source resolution is 3840 x 2160, 60 FPS and the Target resolu

In LrC, German version 15.5.1, Camera Raw 18.5.1, the tool tip for “Punktfarbe”, “Hue Range”, the lower triangle, says “Geringere Abfallkante”. I presume the tool tip in the English version is something like “lower edge”, “lower threshold” or “lower limit” or “lower ramp”. In any case, you would not translate “lower” into “geringer” in such a situation. You would use “Untere” instead, which matches “Obere” for the upper end. Geringer would translate to smaller or less in this context, in the sense of “not as high as something else”, which is arguabely not what you want to say. Note that my mother tonge is German and I am an electrical engineer. Feel free to contact me if you need further input or insight at <Email redacted by Mod> Kind regards, Markus

One feature I still find lacking after switching from Apple Aperture is the ability to “split folders based on shooting time.”This feature splits the folder if the interval between shots exceeds a specified duration.

Hi,after the latest update to v15 of LR for Windows, the behaviour of the cropping tool changed. It's really annoying: It is very difficult to create a selection in portrait format with the mouse in this case. Simply dragging diagonally downwards is no longer sufficient – see my screen video here:https://youtu.be/NYfgYOV3IXE Any idea to get back the old behaviour – not by using the previous version of LR 😉 Thanks!mycc

This post is applicable to Lightroom Classic. ETAs for tethered support for specific cameras are not available.   Tethered Capture is a feature of Lightroom Classic that allows the direct connection of your camera to the Lightroom desktop environment. Images are imported into your Lightroom catalog as they are captured via the connected camera. New camera support for reading the raw files is generally added quickly after a camera is released by its manufacturer.  New camera support can be verified here: https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html.  Tethered support for a particular camera model normally follows a version or two after the raw file support. Adobe relies on the manufacturer’s (Nikon & Canon) SDK (Software Development Kit) to facilitate the tethering of your camera to Lightroom. The timing of the release of a manufacturer’s support via their SDK greatly affects the time to release for tethered support. In additi

Since updating to Lightroom Classic 15, the behavior of the Crop tool when drawing a new crop box with the mouse has changed.I am a high-volume photographer and process around 50,000 photos per year, often in batches of 1,000–3,000 images. For many years, my workflow has been to press R and immediately draw a completely new crop box with the mouse. I do not resize the existing crop by dragging its corners.Previously, when working on a portrait image with a locked aspect ratio (for example 2:3 / As Shot), I could simply start dragging a tall, narrow rectangle and Lightroom would immediately recognize that I wanted a portrait-oriented crop.Now, when I start drawing a new crop box, Lightroom keeps the crop in landscape orientation. It only switches to portrait orientation after I drag the mouse a very long distance vertically. In many cases I have to drag almost to the bottom edge of my screen before it finally switches from landscape to portrait. When the area I want to crop is relativel

When I look at images in grid mode they are different than the image in develop mode. This makes it impossible to use the grid to compare final edits for consistency.

Hi, I used a DJI Mini 3 Pro and imported DNG files and in the profile it correctly shows Adobe Landscape, Adobe Colour, Adobe Standard and Adobe Vivid profiles.I’ve got a new DJI Mini 5 Pro and when I important on the same Lightroom (same Mac etc) the only profiles it shows are Color, Adaptive Colour, Monochrome and Adaptive B&W. I’ve tried different .DNG files from my Mini 5 Pro. Have also installed the latest Mac Lightroom and Camera Raw updated today (29/9/26) but still does not give me the other profiles which is very frustrating as I like Adobe Landscape for my drone images.Can anyone help on this please? Can this be refortified? Thanks in advance, NickLightroom release: 15.6Camera Raw release: 18.7

This post applies to Camera Raw and Lightroom Classic. Dust Removal is no longer in Early Access status and can be found in the Remove edit panel for Camera Raw & Lightroom Classic. Dust Removal helps remove distracting spots in an image that may be caused by dust on a camera's sensor and is also effective on dust on the rear lens element. Once enabled, your image will be scanned, and any detected dust spots will be automatically removed using Content-Aware Remove. For refinement, you can select one or multiple spots to delete or refresh. Batch removal is also supported; simply select the "Dust" checkbox under "Remove" in the copy settings dialog.Please note that scanned negatives are not in the scope of this feature at this time.  Dust spots on scans tend to be located in the focal plane, with the negative and very sharp, while sensor dust is typically positioned out of the focal plane and therefore not in focus. Scanned negative dust typically appears as white spots on a darker b

LrC 15.6 update has hidden my masks on some dng files. The masks themselves aren't displaying in the panel, but the image is showing the adjustments. Is anyone else having this issue?

Hi, when I use "Previous" button in Develop module, I usually don't want to copy masks and crop settings. Could you consider add option to choose, which settings button copies? I saw in Google that first requests for this feature reach 2009 All the bestMarcin

Have upgraded to LR15.3 classic and now I can’t apply any presets. How do I fix this? 

I am a photojournalist and recently switched from a PC to a MacBook (last week). My workflow has been rock-solid for many years, and my old archive copied over to the new Mac system without any issues.My Workflow: Preview & Culling: Photo Mechanic Editing: Photoshop 27.9.1 / Adobe Camera Raw Saving: Exported/saved as DNG files Archiving: Import DNGs into Lightroom Classic 15.5.1 The Issue: For my commercial side work, I regularly apply the "Adaptive: Color" profile to my Raw files. However, since switching to the Mac, when I import these newly edited DNGs into Lightroom Classic, LrC fails to apply or read the "Adaptive: Color" profile. The images import looking completely flat.What I've Tried: I read that updating the AI settings in Lightroom might resolve this, but it did not work. Manually reapplying the Adaptive Color profile inside Lightroom does fix the image, but this is way too time-consuming and defeats the purpose of my workflow. Note: Older images processed this

I would like Lightroom Classic to add a way to acknowledge and dismiss an AI Edit Status warning while preserving the existing AI result exactly as it is.Currently, after using tools such as Denoise, Remove, Generative Remove, or AI masking, subsequent edits can cause the AI Edit Status icon to turn yellow. At that point my choices are essentially to leave a persistent yellow warning on the image or click Update and recompute the AI operation.That is a problem because recomputing an AI edit is not necessarily a neutral operation. With Generative Remove in particular, the generated replacement can change. I may have already reviewed several variations and deliberately chosen the one I want. Adobe's own documentation recommends reviewing the result after updating AI settings, which makes clear that an update should not be treated as merely clearing a status message.The yellow indicator is visually prominent and communicates that something remains unresolved. For a photograph that already

Hi, I’ve noticed in recent weeks that when I am shooting tethered with my Canon EOS 5D Mark iii and Lightroom Classic, the buttons on my camera don’t work properly, but when I unplug from the cable, the buttons on my camera work fine. It’s a tethering issue and I am guessing a software issue, rather than a camera issue since the trouble only happens when I am plugged (Tether Pro cable to macbook Pro running Sonoma 14.3 with Lightroom Classic 15.5.1). Anybody else? I have trouble choosing focus points, etc. because the buttons don’t work when tethered. Super frustrating! Thanks!
