Lightroom Classic

I've spent three days trying to change FROM capture time to the order that I want for images in a slideshow.   I've tried to followhttps://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/sorting-order-in-slideshow/m-p/14539253#M361302as well as two other adobe help/howto pages.I ultimately created a folder in the library module with only the 6 slides I want and in "custom order" (as suggested).   I move them to the slideshow module and they're in my desired order in the film strip.   But often when I "preview" I get "Preparing slideshow not responding"  and then when I 'preview' it's in created order or worse.   EVen the rare time it "prepares"  correctly,  I then get the created order.   I would really, really like to be able to do this so I could save and use them as Instagram reels.   But somehow I just can't get it to work.   I'm not new to LR - have been using it usually daily for about 15 ye

My LrC works fine when I use it. I have my photos on an external drive. But if I leave LrC open and go away from the laptop for a while it crashes (after about one hour, I think). Every time! Then, when I come back I get the message that an error has occured and that LrC needs to quit. When restarting it does a check, finds no problems and I can resume work.However, when restarting it does not pick up from where I was when the problem occurred. Instead it starts in the place I was last time I shut down the program in the normal way (Ctrl+Q). I have submitted the error msg to Adobe innumerous times, but no reaction from them.  I suspect the problem has something to do with my external drive, which is protected by BitLocker. In the beginning (when the laptop was new) BitLocker would shut the disk down after some time, which of course had consequences for LrC, as it no longer had access to the photos. I then changed the settings of BitLocker so that it trusts this disk

Dear all,  I was used to create books (240 pages) from my old imac in lightroom 6 and print them with Blurb. But this is the first time i try this operation with my new configiration : Apple Mini M4 + Lightroom classic., all pictures beeing shot with a Canon R5. And it went wrong. When i try to upload my new book (240 pages) in Blurb, it fails on the "cover page" upload step.When i simply try to export the book as a PDF file from lightroom, it works and i can read it perfectly in AcrobatReader. (Cover page file and all pages file). When i try to upload this pdf file via the Blurb website, it also fails with unexplicit error (just asking me to call my support line)I tried to upload some subsets of my books. It worked once for a subset that included the cover page and the first 45 pages, but it is not systematic. Now i cannot upload anything (even a very simplified 20 pages book with no text, no legend, just pictures and a cover page). It always fails on the

I'm constantly experiencing memory drain in Lightroom Classic. It seems to be a constant issue across all versions of LR, on different computer builds. On the latest versions, it's incredibly frequent and severe. I've noticed that it consistently happens when using auto masks and denoise. It also happens during normal work with brushes and the healing brush.An interesting observation: the program's performance is affected when the memory exceeds 8GB. It usually reaches 15GB and then stops. It slows down significantly.My system has 64GB of memory.Can someone help? What can I do?

when using generative ai on an image is it permanently stored on adobes servers? i ask because I keep getting generative ai failure notice with something about guidelines in the message when just removing people out of a photo

I am using LightrromClassic 14.5.1 on a MacBook with M1 Pro processor running version 15.6.1.  When I try to import Fuji RAF files they won't import and I get this error message:I did previously have a trial version of Capture 1 (now deleted) but I think the icon suggests LR thinks this is a Capture 1 RAW file??? Any suggestions would be most welcome.Thanks Terry

Hi all,i just have given my mac pro a new ssd and now i try to activate Lightroom 6.14 / 2015.14.Every time i start the program, it asks again to logon and to enter serial number.

When I start Lightroom 6 (from year 2017) on my new computer it asks to sign up. I tried to use the scan and I use the: //to.adobe.######I get an e-mail with the verification code and enter it then password insertion and I am signed in. I accept the software licensing agreement.After that nothing happens.When I start Lightroom again, it asks to sign up again.... I never get out of this loop!Is there an alternative way to get Lightroom working again?

Hallo zusammenIch habe einen Kathalog mit der Version 14.5.1. mit um die 330 Fotos. Wenn ich unter "Entwickeln" und dann unter "Maskierung" das Werkzeug "Objekte" gebrauchen möchte, passiert folgendens:Wenn ich drauf klicke erscheint oben ganz normal das kleine Fenster "Masken", danach wähle ich mein Objekt aus. Es ladet, dann verschwindet das kleine Fenster und das Bild friert ein. Auch wenn ich auf andere Bilder wechsle, bleibt das vorherige eingefroren. Danach erscheint die Fehlermeldung, dass das Bild nicht bearbeitbar ist. (Der Ablauf ist auch Im Video "Problem-Lightroom" ersichtlich).Normalerweise sollte es einfach die Maske erstellen und nichts einfrieren lassen.Um danach wieder normal arbeiten zu können, muss ich einmal Lightroom komplett schliessen und neu aufstarten. Im Anhang:- Systeminformationen- Video, welches den Ablauf zeigt (Problem-Lightroom)

Hello there, even GPT could not help me with this so here I am with my issue: I reorganized my photo folders on my Macbook using finder under naive impression that if I clicked later in LR Classic update folder location everything wouold be fine including of course my edits etc etc. Unfortunately this is not the case. I have been trying all the suggestions that ChatGPT gave me to avail. One example of what I mean: I have 77 photos under one folder whose path is Canon_R5_Photos/Milan by night bla bla. Out of those photos only the 40 are recognized by lightroom the rest no. I tried update foilder location: no, I tried moving within the LR Classic and back: no, the only thing that works is by going one by one photo. With this folder, that would relatively ok, but witha folder that has 100s of photos this would be tedious. Any solutions? Suggestions?  Thanks in advance

Bonjour,   Depuis la derniere version 14.5. Impossible d'utiliser LRC !!!!! À l'ouverture il me dit que j'ai trop de connexion (en plus sur le même ordi !!!!!)  Je désactive pour pourvoir utiliser Mais LRC se referme après avoir demandé une sauvegarde  Et je boucle Bref LRC inutilmisable Merci pour votre aide Thierry 

when I try to sync photos with AI edits, I keep getting an error message that says "could not update AI settings for 1 photo" or however many photos I'm trying to do. Also happens when I hit the "previous" button to try ot sync that way. 

I had intel 7800X intel extreme CPU, and I upgraded to 10980XE about $1100but nothing changed, then from help, they told me to change GPU, I has nvidia 1070, I upgraded to nvidia 4070 12gb, nothing changed.... Also added new RAM 128 GB, same.... I spent more than 2000 usd, and nothing changes....  Update: changed cpu Fan and case, 3 x 420mm cpu fans (arctic freezer) and 6 x 420mm case fans.Lightroom Classic is super slow in latest versions, especialy buiding previews....  

In the latest updated of Lightrrom the denoise feature has gotten much smoother. Instead of saving a new DNG-file next to the originial image it does some internal magic. I have noticed thet the catalogue get huge though. It grows very rapidly. Mines has double the last few days of editing. This is a problem as the backups is also getting very large. I prefered haviing the DNG-file together with the picture not being backuped all the time. Why is this? Is there any way to get around this? Like removing some denoise data for older photos and being able to recreate it later if needed? Why does all this data gets saved into the backup?

My sister has used Lightroom Classic to edit thousands of photos over the course of many years. Three years ago she needed to replace her PC. She's not technical and paid a consultant to help. He installed Lightroom Classic on the new PC, telling her the license cost was $10. She doesn't use cloud storage - all her photos are on her hard drive, with some backed up to an external HD - and she didn't realize that she had a subscription plan that needed to be paid every month. She received popups, but they were unclear and looked like spam. Finally on September 3rd she received an email from Adobe that we've verified with Adobe is genuine, saying that her plan was cancelled due to non-payment, and she has 30 days to sign up for a new plan, or they will delete all her data (we discovered that a small percentage did sync to the cloud three years ago when she first got the subscription) and her software will get deactivated. Her main concern is that Lightroom Classic continues to functi

I upgraded the hard drive on my PC a week ago. Prior to the upgrade, I uninstalled Lightroom 6. I did not think I would have any trouble reinstalling LIghtroom 6 on my new hard drive because I have the DVD version of the Lightroom 6 which I purchased back in 2017. After replacing my new hard drive, I tried to reinstall my Lightroom 6. The process of installing Lightroom did not seem to give me any trouble. I went through the process of logging into Adobe and entering my Adobe ID, entered the Lightroom 6 serial number and the installation process actually started as expected. In the end, it actually gave me the prompt that stated that Lightroom has been installed successfully. However, upon launching Lightroom 6, the Lightroom screen appeared but seemed to be "stuck" there. I would click on any "tab", e.g., Import, and the screen would "gray out" and the system would return that Lightroom 6 was "not responding". I closed out the program, uninstalled Lightroom 6, shutdown and restarted a

LrLogger adds an extra "\r" to each "\r\n" contained in logged strings on Windows. Tested on LR 14.5.1.   1. Save the attached file "logger-bug.txt" to the LR Scripts folder.  That script contains: logger = import "LrLogger" ("MyLog") logger:enable ("logfile") logger:info ("line 1\r\nline 2\r\n")   2. Restart LR and execute the script.   3. Observe that %LOCALAPPDATA%\Adobe\Lightroom\Logs\LrClassicLogs\MyLog.log contains "line 1\r\r\nline 2\r\r\n" (incorrect) instead of "line 1\r\nline 2\r\n": $ od -c MyLog.log 0000000 0 9 / 2 3 / 2 0 2 5 1 6 : 4 9 0000020 : 4 4 I N F O \t l i n e 1 \r 0000040 \r \n l i n e 2 \r \r \n \0 \r \n  

Bonjour,je suis sur windows 11, LR 14.5.1j’ai effacé par erreur un grand nombre de photo de mon catalogue. Je suis donc repartit d’un backup. Tout semble normal sauf que je ne peux pas créer de copie virtuelle des photo existantes"une erreur interne s'est produite :?:0: attempt to index a nil value"A l’importation de nouvelles photo, ce problème ne se pose pas.J’ai fermé LR avec contrôle d’intégrité et backup et rellancé sans amélioration.Auriez-vous une piste de solution à me proposer ? Il semble aussi impossible d'envoyer les fichiers anciens dans photoshopMerciThierry

I appologise for the lenghth of this post. In the life of my PC (Win 11) it has experienced one major upgrade and two catastophic breakdowns. For the record these events were unrelated and spread of several years. The good news is that despite this I have not lost any data, mostly photo files.The bad news is that I now have multiple versions of the original folder structure stored on different hard drives  and therefore multiple versions of SOME individual files. In many cases the folders contain slightly different combinations of the files. I am using the LrC catalogues to locate the folder and files.At the momewnt I am opening indiviual folders and copying the file into a version of the same folder held on a differnt drive. This resulted in the recipeient drive being over loaded. On that basis I have invested in a 2TB Crucial X10 which has fixed the capacity problem but I am still left with an excrusiatingly slow process prone to me making a mistake. Is there any tweak or w

I’ve been working on my own preset that I want to start selling, but I’ve run into a question. When I include a skin mask (using color range) in the preset, it looks fine on some photos, but on others the skin ends up looking really bad—desaturated and unnatural. Do you think I should even include the skin mask in the preset, or would it be better to leave it out? Any suggestions or advice would mean a lot. Thanks so much!

I have extended my storage space on my laptop by adding an internal SDXC card (Sandisk 512GB Extreme MicroSDXC Card). I have dedicated this storage space to LR files.  I have beeen using LRC since 2020 mainly to edit my camera files. I am encounering sync problems now and getting a message thats preventing me from moving files.  I dont know how to repair the situation.  Is there a compatabilty problem with the card? I'm not techy, let me add.

My lightroom classic catalogue is corrupt - I get the message and corrupt and cannot be used until it is repaired. When i try repair I get the message 'The catalogue couuld not be opened due to an unexpected error. How Can I fix this please
