Lightroom Classic

Lightroom Classic will not open. I click on open and it does not work. Nothing happens.

In a mask we can use the Defringe control and it works well.  Sometimes I create a mask over an area using a brush or gradient solely to use the Defringe tool.  Why is Defringe in a mask so easy to use, effective, and without the bad side effects of the complex Defringe in the global tools?The global Defringe tool rarely works well and often it doesn't work at all.  It is common to get a message with the eyedropper that the area is too small or it can't detect anything despite it being clearly visible.  And when it does work you have to play around with the 4 sliders and almost never get a satisfactory result.  And on top of that the real killer is that if there is anything else in the photo that has a similar color (clothing, car, etc.) then parts of that can also be changed to monochrome.I sometimes even create a Linear Gradient over the whole image if I have problems in many places in order to use the mask Defringe which works so well.  So much better results than using the global D

Je n’ai rien à rajouter

Somehow, I have dozens, if not hundreds, of files appended with “-2.”As in “_IMG1234-2.CR3”And they are not in LR. But they are on the drive as “IMG1234.CR3”I can’t think of a way to find, select and rename all of them at once so that Lightroom can find them. I can’t re-import them as they are too old.I can use the “find file” dialog in LR and rename them individually. But I could be dead before I finish.Please don’t scold or call me a dumb ass. I’ve already done that.

In LcR, there is no preference setting to PREVENT the prompt to confirm deletion from my Disk … or at least I can’t find one.I’m an adult and I know what I’m doing and do NOT want to be prompted every time I want to delete a image from disk.  Am I missing something?If this is “By Design”, is there any future plans to address this shortcoming? 

Generative Remove Failed.When I start working on an image on a new day/the following day, I get the “generative remove failed” prompt. It just stops working for whatever reason. I always have to restart my computer in order for it to start working properly again. My current workflow is on a 2023MacBook Pro running macOS Sequoia Version 15.7.5

La función de mascara en lightroon CC no me funciona desde que instale la versión macOS Tahoe 26.3.1. Adobe no me da una solución después de contacto von ellos en varias ocasiones. Estoy desesperado 

I am experiencing a consistent 1-second Develop panel 'grey-out' lag in Lightroom Classic 15.x despite using a fully optimized Ryzen 9 7950X3D (34,745 Cinebench pts), RTX 5080 16GB, and triple Gen5 NVMe setup, even with Smart Previews enabled and GPU acceleration toggled; please advise on a fix for this UI synchronization issue

LrPublishServiceProvider plugin shows 'Publish Services: none' in Plug-in Manager, does not appear in Publish Services panel, Lightroom Classic 15.2.1

After updating to Lightroom Classic v15, AI masks stopped updating automatically when syncing develop settings across photos. In previous versions (14.x and earlier), AI masks such as Subject, People, and Sky would recalculate automatically after copying or syncing settings. In v15, a yellow “Update AI” icon appears, but Lightroom no longer updates the masks automatically. Each photo requires a manual “Update AI Settings” action, which makes batch editing impractical. Additionally, even after manually updating an AI mask, it sometimes resets or disappears. The mask object remains in the panel, but the mask itself turns completely black, with no selection inside it. This happens randomly across photos and affects various types of AI masks.

im currently trying to make the switch from lightroom mobile on my computer to lightroom classic. but, the photos from mobile won't sync with classic. it says its in the process of syncing, but it never actually syncs a single photo.

I just purchased a Nikon Z5 II, setup the cloud, which puts my RAW and JPEG files into Lightroom. When I go to a photo, all of them say The digital negative (DNG) file is incompatible with this version of Lightroom. I have version 5.5   What am I suppose to do?

I am getting this error message when trying to Export as Catalog: I’m running on macOS Tahoe 26.3.1 with Lightroom Classic 15.2 on MacBook Pro 16-inch, 2023 with 16GB of memory and about 197 GB free space on the hard drive.  The target for the export is an external hard drive with 1.85 TB available.  There are about 113 GB of images in the catalog (some are on external media).  A few minutes after starting the export, the progress bar seems to freeze.  About five hours after starting the export, the export process appears to die with the above message opening in its own window.  I’m trying to export around 10,000 images.  While the export is running, Lightroom Classic does not appear to be consuming a large amount of CPU or Memory.

In meinem Lightroom-Classic-Katalog werden dauerhaft 7 Elemente heruntergeladen ("Element wird heruntergeladen"), obwohl in Lightroom Web keine Fotos mehr vorhanden sind.Ich habe bereits:– Cloud-Bibliothek vollständig geleert– „Synchronisierte Daten löschen“ ausgeführt– die Datei Sync.lrdata gelöscht– Lightroom neu gestartetTrotzdem versucht Lightroom weiterhin 7 Assets herunterzuladen.Es scheint eine hängende Download-Queue bzw. verwaiste Cloud-Assets im Adobe-Sync-Index zu sein.Kann ein Adobe-Mitarbeiter bitte den Lightroom-Cloud-Synchronisationsindex meines Accounts zurücksetzen?

When creating a smart collection I have the option to create different conditions but only to select either “Any”, or “All” or “None”. I would like that for each condition I could select if a AND or a OR should be applied.Example: I want a specific collection where I have used any of my main cameras and a specific lens, I want to be able to create something like Camera SN is abcd OR Camera SN is efgh AND Lens is xpto.

I’m getting an AI Edits storage error when opening Lr Classic 15.2.1 and have followed the suggested fixes and non work. I’ve read posts saying to contact Adobe Support for a tool to fix a corrupt Lr Catalog. How on earth do you even contact Adboe Suppor??? All I am able to get to is the Community. How do I fix this annoying error prompt?

Hi there,I would like to clean up some storage space on my Mac and I noticed that most of my Document storage is taken by Lightroom files. Could you please advise me/explain me which of these is safe to delete? There are many backup Catalog zip files, can I get rid of them all apart from the most recent one? What about the other type of files?Many thanks,Lucia 

Have a problem with automatical adjustment of my photos in LR mobile. When I choose a particular photo that I took in RAW48mp for futher editing, LR automatically changing its saturation. Do you have any thoughts how to disable this "improvement"? I am using Iphone 17 Pro Max.

LRC 15.2.1 ARM64. In the removal section for dust spot removal there is no button present to apply the found dust spots.

I use the + and - keys to adjust my sliders when going through photos quickly for minor changes, in particular, for exposure. I find that sometimes (maybe 1 in 10 images), I can see the keypad change occur, but then just as quickly bouce back as if I had never made the change. This happens while still on the image, not when moving to the next. Is this a bug? If not, what can I do to stop this happening?
