Lightroom Classic

Hello,what I have to do for repairing my Lightroom classic?Rainer Perschk

I became aware of a security update for Lightroom Classic yesterday evening and set it to run over 12 hours later it’s still not 70% downloaded. Is this right or do I have an issue.It’s on an M4 mini only 6 months old. 1TB drive capacity and 32GB RAM. Thankfully I’m an amateur photographer not one who has deadlines to meet.  

I have noticed that LrC fails to create panoramas when, at least to me, it is obvious where the matches are.  I have attached a screen shot of the the photos and the proposed Merge, in 150628 and 105728 respectively below.I have a similar result taken at a beach where again it seems obvious to me, but the merge doesn’t include all images, see 110215 and 110427. 

 I took a photograph of people riding on a bus, from the outside of the bus. As expected, there are window reflections on it. I tried to remove the reflections in LRC but it did not remove any of them. Moving the slider to -100 shows a black image, indicating LRC did not find reflections. I opened the same image in Camera Raw, and there the reflections were mostly removed. Moving the slider to -100 shows what Camera Raw detected as reflections. I don’t understand what is going on. Can you help? I am including relevant screen shots: Original Image, LRC 100 Removal, LRC -100 Removal, CR 100 Removal, CR -100 RemovalOriginal ImageLRC 100 RemovalLRC -100 RemovalCamera Raw 100 RemovalCamera Raw -100 RemovalMy system info:Lightroom Classic version: 15.1 [ 202512101606-1bb801a8 ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: en-USOperating system: Mac OS 26Version: 26.2.0 [25C56]Application architecture: arm64Logical processor count: 10Processor speed: NASqLite Version: 3.36.0Adobe GSDK Version: 1.4

Vorrei sapere quali sono i problemi di qualità di questa foto

I have around 200 images where the originals are missing but I have decent smart previews available.I fully understand that previews are not raw files, I just want to export the previews as files (in the highest possible quality), then reimport them incase anything happens to the previews database/cache. How do I export the previews?Whenever I try, the folder is empty and see errors that originals are missing. Have tried ‘Original’ and dng Have tried selecting and exporting preview images, and exporting as a catalogue.Any help much appreciated. Cheers

I used to use two different fonts, colors and text sizes in the identity plate, after the update it only shows one font, singular color and all in the same size.   On the edit screen it looks like it looked before and should look.  

Hello, I’m having issues exporting some specific files from a catalog in Lightroom Classic.I’ve since upgraded to the latest version and the issue persists. The export hangs and never finishes. (Maybe related: if i try to create virtual copies on any of those files i get an internal error)Extra details: The original file is jpg. It is on an external ssd drive.Other files from same storage / folder   work just fine.What i’ve tried:Upgraded to latest version of Lightroom.Disabled GPU.Disabled plugins.Test Catalog integrity.Reset all edits to the file.Cleared Cache (hope i did this correctly)Tried to export to different format (didn’t work)Tried to export to other locations (didn’t work - not a permission issue)If i copied the original file to a different folder and imported that folder in the same catalog the export worked, but this is not a scalable solution.  

I Got error message "We've encountered an issue and cant complete your request at this time. Please try again." but this problem has been going on for more than a day.I was checked my cloud status and the status is always “trying to connect with server” I've followed all the advice on this forum, including disabling Windows protection and antivirus, changing my Wi-Fi connection, and even reinstalling the app, but the problem still exists.please help me 😭

Running LrC catalog from USB drive (Samsung P9 1TB) where I have all images and the catalogue file (latest version as of today). The anytime the crowd strike fancon scan triggers LrC will freeze with error saying there has been issue accessing the catalogue file. This makes LrC completely unusable.

Hello everybody,Currently I plan to update my MacBook and would like to get some recommendations / feedback from you. My current setup is 15-Inch MacBook Pro (2017) with 2,9 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 (Radeon Pro 560 4GB) with 16GB Memory & 512GB SSD, macOS Ventura 13.7.8. Main camera is a Canon 5D Mark IV (30 Mega Pixel 6720x4480).I run Lightroom Classic 14.5.2 and Photoshop 27.3.0 and Apple Photos. Currently I consider the 14-Inch MacBook Pro with 1TG SSD in these options:M5 Chip with 10‑Core CPU, 10‑Core GPU, 16-Core Neural Engine and 32GB MemoryM4 Pro Chip with 12‑Core CPU, 16-Core GPU, 16-Core Neural Engine and 24GB MemoryBoth options would cost 2.549 Euros Potential updates for the M4 Pro Chip version:From 12 to 14-Core CPU, from 16 to 20‑Core GPU, 16-Core Neural Engine would be additional 250 Euro (Number of Core CPU + 16% / Number of Core GPU + 25%)From 24GB to 48GB would be additional 500 Euros My questions would be:Is it better to spend the money on a faster processor (P

BonjourComme décris dans le titre, je ne réussis pas à importer certaine photos qui ont été prisent avec un IPhone. Ce sont bien des jpeg. Et après 2022 je peux toutes les ouvrir. Je parle que des photos issus d’Iphone. Toute les autres photo prisent avec un reflex s’importent facilement. Quand j’essaie de les importer, je sélectionne le dossier, je vois bien les vignettes de mes photos, mais quand je clique sur importer, il ne se passe rien , je suis obliger de cliquer sur la croix pour arrêter le processus. Je joint 2 copies d’écran , la sélection et comment est l’écran bloqué. Et une photo jpeg que je ne réussis pas à ouvrir pour exemple.Version 14.0.1 la version 15 n’est pas compatible.Merci d’avance pour votre aidePhilippe Hauray 

I've just taken out a Lightroom subscription.The version of LR Classic available is 14.0.1 which I have installed and migrating my old Lightroom 6 catalog fails:Any suggestions?

Je développe mes photos sous lightroomC  avec l’utilisation d’un profil que j’ai crée.Je synchronise ensuite des collections avec lightroom. J’ai du importer le profil que j’ai crée sous lightroom également.Lorsque je synchronise avec Portfolio les photos ne sont plus du tout conforme à ce que je vois sous lightroomC et sous Lightroom et je ne trouve pas de solutions. Savez vous pourquoi ? Je vous met un exempleSous LightroomC Sous Lightroom Sous Portfolio  

I am using a Hasselblad X1D II camera with a Hasselblad 35-100E lens. I find that although in filter Lightroom Classic can detect that the images are captured by XCD 35-100E lens, in lens correction tab in edit, when set to default or auto, it will result in no profile and can’t automatically find profile. However there is a Hasselblad XCD 35-100E profile in the list. I need to manually select it and sync across my photos. I’ve tested this behavior in Lightroom Classic 15.1.1 on Windows 11 x64 24H2.

Have been using LRC for more than a year with the same laptop system running on Win Home 11 (25H2). After update version to 15.1.1 in Jan 2026,  constantly experienced system crashed after opening LRC.Tried to disable the GPU processor and update the NVIDIA driver to the latest version, even reinstalled LRC again, unable to resolve this issue. Noticed, working on LRC after each reboot, it becomes lethargic and ultimately crashed out. A search from the internet, found someone having the same exact issue, managed to stabilize the program by reverting back to LRC 15.0.1I’ve no choice but to give a try by uninstalling the 15.1.1 version and reinstalled back 15.0.1, will monitor the condition. Do hope this issue can be resolved as soon as possible, it really a nightmare with no confident in using the software.

Here is a screen shot of my Catalog under pictures:  Please help,  Thanks,   Dale 

When a video is exported from Lightroom Classic that does not have the size 1920x1080 pixels, it is scaled down. Videos that are in portrait format (1080x1920 pixels) are scaled to 960x540 pixels. A video with 1440x1080 pixels becomes 1280x720 pixels when exported. Do not scale videos during export.  

The lens profile is available for manual selection in the list of profiles, but the tools cannot automatically assign it, unlike with other lenses when selecting "Enable Profile Correction."   [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]

The new forum has its own quirks for including photos in posts.  Some tips based on what I’ve learned so far: If you want your readers to see a screenshot or the result of some LR action, use the Insert Image button to include the image inline with your text:If it’s important to include an original photo file, e.g. to troubleshot a LR problem with that photo, use the paper-clip Upload Files button to attach the file to your post:I’ve been able to attach raw files, text files, and .zip files, as long as they’re under 50 MB (contrary to the error message that says the limit is 5 MB).   However, if you try to attach an original JPEG, the forum will always convert it to Webp format, defeating the purpose of attaching the original JPEG. To work around this forum bug, use Mac Finder or Windows File Explorer to compress the file to a .zip and attach the .zip. If your file is bigger than 50 MB or the forum fails to attach it for some other reason, upload it to Wetransfer, Dropbox, Google Drive

Siehe oben. Das Entrauschen dauert seit einigen Tagen inakzeptabel lang. Am Rechner wurde nichts geändert. Nach den Auftreten des  Fehlers wurde der Treiber aktualisiert, was keine Hilfe brachte.

I am now having a doubt (shame on me, an expert user that doens’t know this) The question:Is it faster to import form “Source > Device” or “Source > Files”?What is the best choice?P.s.In my defence I didn’t know that whatever you type first before posting now becomes your title and you can’t edit it.I look like a total analphabet. 

Hey Gang,Forever, I've been using a LR plugin from Capture Monkey that would read the QR code in an image, then rename following photos using the data in that QR code. This made volume photography a breeze. The plugin is no longer being developed, so I'm searching for a replacement... There is a TON of intrest in a product like this if someone wants to develop a plugin.   Anybody know of any alternate solutions? Rob
