Im getting “unexpected error occurred while processing” when trying to sync a background mask to multiple canon raw .CR2 files from an EOS 5D MkIV, Nikon .NEF files seem unaffected by the issue.

P: Sync Auto Straighten and recompute the angleOpen for Voting

Hi, It's a simple request and an enigma, why it hasn't been done yet. When Syncing a settings of a photo, which has been automatically straightened, just recompute the angle for every synced picture. Make it selectable / deselectable in the sync menu.   Greeting Eckhard

LRC 15.2 does not fix the slowness/lagging problem reported by many users since version 15.0

LRC becomes very slow, unresponsive, and laggy shortly after launching. This problem was discussed on the previous forum extensively, where many users from Mac and Windows platforms reported it. Apparently, there were several different causes for the problem, as some users were able to fix it by following diverse suggestions, which did not work for other users. I am one of the unlucky users who tried all suggested fixes and could not solve the problem or find its cause. Unfortunately, a couple of the threads were marked as Resolved (or Answered) and the discussions stopped. I have been trying every new version of LRC as they become available, but in my case the problem persists and actually becomes worse with versions 15.2 or the previous one, 15.1.1. So, I am back to version 15.1, which at least lets me work for about 30 minutes before the program becomes essentially unresponsive. My question is, will this problem ever be fixed by Adobe?

P: Option to Disable Undo/Redo On-Screen NotificationsOpen for Voting

Please add an option to disable the on-screen Undo/Redo notifications that appear when using Undo (Cmd/Ctrl+Z) and Redo (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Z) in Lightroom Classic.This has been requested by many Lightroom users for years across Adobe forums and community discussions, yet there is still no way to disable these notifications.For many advanced users, Undo and Redo are not only used to correct mistakes but also as a very fast visual A/B comparison tool between two editing states. This allows us to evaluate subtle changes while keeping our eyes focused entirely on the image.Currently, every Undo or Redo action displays a large black notification overlay showing the name of the adjustment that was reverted or restored. This overlay partially covers the image and makes it difficult to accurately judge contrast, color, local adjustments, noise reduction, sharpening, masking, and other fine details.The issue becomes even more noticeable when working in Full Screen mode or with Lights Out enabled,

Smart Sammlung als Vorgabe für jeden neuen Katalog ändern

Hallo, ich erstelle für jede Hochzeit einen neuen Katalog und passe mir die Sammlung Vorgabe an:Finale Auswahl Zweite Auswahl SW-UmwandlungJetzt ist es ja so das bei jedem neuen Katalog von Lightroom eigene Vorgaben schon vorgegeben sind.Kann ich die Vorgabe so umschreiben das meine Vorgaben immer gleich geladen werden? Es wäre so entspannt wenn ich nicht jedesmal die alten vorgaben löschen muss um dann meine zu erstellen. Ich hoffe das jemand eine Lösung für mich hat

I cannot open my Lightroom Classic-it is updated & my plan is paid up to date.

I just cannot open it. I get the spinning wheel when I click to open, but the wheel disappears & never opens.

P: Put the progress central window with estimated time back!Open for Voting

In the latest versuion, the cenral window indicating estimated time is gone, this is an important feature for busy profesionnal photographers, who need proper centralized task manager, now, the only indication left is that vague user unfriendly bar at the top. This doesn’t work, the estimated time allow us to plan work but also free time, if the estimated time is 30 min, we can go cook, take a shower, run to the post office whatsoever we need to do in between.. Thanks

P: Constrain to crop - always ON via an option.Open for Voting

Please Adobe - make such an option. To just completely disable this absolutely useless for most feature. I want LRC to never show these white areas, at all. I am an architectute photograph, i sometimes have a thousand pics a day to run through LRC and a lot of them Auto align with white parts all over. I know a can make a preset for this to be on, but so much simpler just to disable this. Thanks!

P: Update Sky Mask model to include separate areas of skyOpen for Voting

I find the sky selection mask one I use frequently but it fails to select accurately around complex areas such as foliage, especially where the sky is not one continuous body i.e. separate sections may appear through gaps. There are complex work-rounds such as selecting everything but the sky and inverting but this seems a waste of time. I am aware of the updates to ACR including Mask feathering and Edge Control which are a welcome help but these wont help in cases where the sky is divided. Can the underlying AI model be updated to improve the basic sky selection please. Thanks

Lightroom Classic AI crashes

Hey everyone! First time posting so be kind ;) Been using LR for over a decade with no issues on an 11yo gen 3 i7. Perfect, never a problem Fresh new pc build with RTX 5070TI and LrC to move into the Ai world.I can go a week or two perfectly, then I get complete pc shutdown when trying to use AI Noise reduction. Studio Drivers installed. I read that people have issues with this on the threads and stuff. Is it a stability issue with LrC? Do I move to cloud LR? Is it hardware? Is the AI just too new to be stable and this is life? I’ve reinstalled LR, drivers, optimised catalogues, ensured there’s plenty of storage and ram etc. can’t seem to find the problem Open to suggestions, cause my tearing my hair out!

Prise de vues connectée impossible avec Canon EOS 5Dm4 à partir de Lightroom Classic 15.3.1

Je suis habitué à travailler en mode connecté directement à partir de Lightroom Classic.J’utilise un Canon 5D Mark4.J’ai fait tous les tests et manipulations recommandées, mais rien n’y fait…J’ai cependant une piste : ce problème est apparu après mise à jour de mon MacOS. Je travaille maintenant avec macOS Tahoe (26.2). Je ne vois que cette explication…Avez-vous vu déjà ce cas ?I'm used to working in connected mode directly from Lightroom Classic.I use a Canon 5D Mark IV.I’ve tried all the recommended tests and troubleshooting steps, but nothing works…I do have one theory, though: this issue started after I updated my macOS. I’m now running macOS Tahoe (26.2). That’s the only explanation I can think of…Have you ever seen this happen before?

LRC not starting with another catalog after closing the old one

I have several catalogs. When I close one catalog and try to open another, the one I've selected doesn't open in Windows 11. I have to restart the PC. Does anyone have any ideas about this? Best regards, Thomy

Open Adobe Camera Raw in Lightroom for Distraction Removal->Remove Reflections experimental feature

I've searched in vain for a way to open Adobe Camera Raw from within Lightroom on my Nikon NEF RAW files. While I've read that ACR is built into Lightroom, I specifically want to use the new experimental "Distraction Removal->Remove Reflections" feature in ACR on a number of photos that I took out of a bus window in Cairo a few weeks ago. It works fantastically well.While I'm sure this feature will eventually be included in Lightroom, I want to use it now.  The only way I've been able to do it is to find the image in Windows Explorer and then choose "Open with Photoshop" , which brings up ACR. In Lightroom, "Edit in Photoshop 2025" doesn't enable the feature (I guess it's sending a TIFF or PSD) and "Open as Smart Object in Photoshop" and then choosing the Camera Raw filter doesn't enable the feature either -- says "wrong file type". Is there a .EXE for ACR that I can choose in Explorer, or add as a second "Edit in..." option in LIghtroom?  Or should I just wait for Li

AI Denoising is ridiculously slow compared to other AI noise removal tools, even on a maxed out PC rig. Furthermore, quality is terrible, and now I see it adding all sorts of artifacts.

I don’t know if it’s a bug or just something Adobe has to fix, but I am so utterly disappointed in the AI denoising feature in LrC. What’s worse is that I’ve seen it evolve over time. When you first implemented it, it was really inferior to other offerings. Then it actually got good for awhile. But now… it’s like it’s hallucinating and adding the wrong details to images. If I turn it down, it doesn’t even denoise well. As soon as I turn it up, it starts sharpening edges and adding weird swirls in facial hair. It makes my pictures look like an AI generated cartoon. I’ve been forced to go back to DxO Photolab to denoise stuff. Not only that, but DxO can literally denoise a stack of 20 photos in the time it takes LrC to do one. This is just unacceptable. You can do better. Please fix this ASAP.

Super resolution on smart preview leaves artifacts which don't go away when RAW is available

I worked with smart preview and used super resolution. This left obvious artifacts in form of grid.They do not go away when I have RAW available, I discarded smart preview, and even when I disable and re-enable super resolution for that file. (Without super resolution this grid is gone.)Artifacts are even visible in exports.These artifacts do not appear on very similar photo with same edits, but which was never edited as a smart preview.

Book module: when you save a custom layout, text layout or borders are not saved

It is fantastic there is an option to create your own templates, but not everything is saved unfortunately.

The brush tool & masking have completely stopped working

I’m done with this. With every single update, Lightroom becomes more of a mess. Now, out of nowhere, the brush tool and masking have completely stopped working. I can't get any work done.I have already tried all the standard "fixes":Toggling GPU acceleration on/off - no effect.Restarting macOS and Lightroom multiple times - no effect.Resetting preferences and clearing cache - still nothing.And don't even try to blame my hardware. I am running this on a Mac Studio M1 Max and a MacBook Pro 16 M1 Pro. The exact same issue occurs on both machines after working for a while. This isn't a hardware limitation; this is your buggy, unoptimized code.I posted about this exact problem months ago in this forum, and nothing has been fixed. You keep charging a monthly subscription fee, yet you fail to provide a stable environment for basic functions like masking. This is my last year with Adobe. I am officially looking for alternatives that actually work and don't waste my time and nerves.Fix your sof
