Lightroom Classic

Hi all,   I am hoping someone can help.  I am having issues dragging-and-dropping a photo or group of photos into a collection.  Any time I attempt to do this, lightroom classic crashes.  I am running the updated version of lightroom 14.5.1.  OS is Windows 11.   I attached the error xml as well below.  Has anyone run into this or have any suggestions?    I have tried the following and issue persists: 1. Restart computer / lightroom 2. Restore default lightroom settings / preferences 3. Update GPU driver 4. Disable GPU acceleration 5. Create new lightroom catalog 6. Revert to prior versions of lightroom.  I have tried 14.5 and 14.4 so far.   Thanks! Andrew        

I cannot get lightroom classic to send emails.  Read all the articles.I have checked accesss to the sever and ports using terminal, and ports are not being blocked.Tried all the usuall stufff disabling virus checkers etc , to no avail.I keep coming back to setting outlook as the default mail app, still cant find out howto do this.I am using outlook with a hotmail account. Also tried a gmil account. Help !!!   

I'm running version 12.4 of Lightroom Classic and have found a possible bug. I can no longer "Clear History" on a group of selected photos. No matter how I attempt to clear history, I'm limited to clearing history, one photo at a time.   Earlier today, I had a live chat session with Adobe Support. The person I was working with asked permission to start a Bomgar session into my laptop to look at the issue. I welcomed the offer. In fact, I had LrC running with four photos selected. I had done a simple crop of one and applied the edit to the other three.   The support person asked me to demonstrate the problem. I had all four photos selected in the Library module. I opened the Develop module. All four were still selected in the thumbnail bar but, of course, only the first of the four was displayed. All this is normal.   When I hovered over the "X" in the "History" tab, the phrase "Clear All" appeared as usual. However, when I clicked on the "X", no dialog box opened asking

I import my images by year and month into a single catalog, matching the windows file structure. I have two duplicate years (2021 and 2025) which contain different month sequences. When I try to move a month folder from one into another I get "Could not complete folder move: Unknown error" or "Folder already exists".  The file structure in Explorer is normal. All images are in the correct place. Any clues how I can fix this?

I have read almost every post here on LR Classic Sync Issues - I have held down the option ket and attempted to rebuild the sync database but I cannot control how and when LR Classic syncs. Yesterday I set up a new folder and loaded 40 images. It synced fine. Today I set up a new folder and put an image in there and nothing happens. If I click the cloud symbol it has a check mark to say it synced. I see no sync activity listed, and online it has created the collection, but the image I put in the collection is missing. I have tried unchecking and rechecking sync with lightroom but nothing happens. I have wasted SOOO much time trying to get this to work reliably.Help! LR Classic 14.5.1MacOS 15.6.1

Running Lightroom Classic 14.4 on a Mac Studio M1 Ultra machine. Up until the 14.4 update, it was running very smoothly. Now, when making adjustments, it takes 5-7 seconds to load the next photo. Other times, it refuses to change a flag or color label. Even more times, I quit the app and it says it's still writing to XMP metadata, when it's clearly not.   Not sure how these major issues weren't caught before release. Pretty frustrating as a pro that my editing time has almost doubled because of this.   Tried optimizing the catalog, increasing cache size, to no avail.

Uso Lightroom 14.5.1 Release e ele está travando IMPOSSÍVEL trabalhar no meu iMac M4, atualizado para o MacOS Tahoe 26.0. Já tentei duas sessões de Adobe Support Remote e os agentes não conseguem me ajudar. Sou fotógrafa e não consigo trabalhar já faz três dias.  

Since updating to the new 13.3 Version of lighroom classic and 7.3 of lightroom my sync status appears to be stuck, stating 'Initializing Sync Data'. It has been stuck like this for the past 24hr's, although I have not left Lightroom running all that time, but it has been running for the past 4hrs with nil change. I did update my Lightroom Catalogue and have around 10k files in the cloud (mostly smart previews).  Is it just a waiting game or is there likely an error preventing further progress.  Any help would be appreciated.

It seems like it would work, but I haven't tried it.   Can you Import ... edit images ... then Export images ... using only a single hard drive.  TY Windows 11LrC 14.5.1  

I'm in library mode and trying to add the same series of keywords to a group of about 60 photos.  All these photos are highlighted at the bottom of my screen but one photo appears to be highlighted more brightly.  I've typed in a group of keywords in my sidebar and then clicked enter.  I thought that action should tag all 60 photos with the same keywords but it doesn't.  Only the brightly highlighted photo gets the keywords.  Surely there has to be a way to tag multiple photos with the same keywords all at once.  I've watched Cris Orwig's video on Adobe and am following the same steps he demonstrates but the keywords are only tagged to the one photo.  Am I missing something simple here? Thank youMark

App Version: Lightroom Classic 14.2 OS: macOS Sequoia 15.3.1   I would really appreciate some help with this. I'm not sure if it's even a bug or if I'm just doing something wrong. I just noticed this issue on some recent images from a recent trip when trying to export. When exporting from a RAW file with the correct lens profile assigned, the exported file doesn't appear corrrected as I am seeing it in the Develop tab. Everything looks great in the Develop tab when I view the image as ‘Fit’ in the window. The moment I zoom in on the image in the Develop tab, the distortion is incorrect; the same way it appears in the exported file. Here are a few images for reference. The first image is what I want/expect; all the lines are nice and straight.     Additionally, it all looks fine when previewing it in the develop tab but if I switch to the Library tab, the distortion appears like the image below. This is what I get when I export:     And here's the image with n

When the Preferences/Interface/Font size=150% the widget is too big for a laptop monitor, and the "OK" button is outside the visible area when the W11 Taskbar is visible. One needs to set the taskbar to "auto hide" in order to see the "OK" and "Restart Lightroom" buttons. That is an obvious bug, which must be fixed. Windows 11 Pro, Monitor size the very standard 1920x1200, scale is the (recommended) 125%.

How do I get rid of the vignette effect on unchecked images? I'm trying to import images into a collection from a file location and when I uncheck all I get this vignette effect which makes it very difficult to see the images and distinguish between shots.

One of my image folders is showing an incorrect number of images.  The folder itself contains 2000+ images, they are all visible in the grid view and all editible in the Develop Module.  I have a screen capture that shows part of the grid view which contains all 2000+ images.  I have screen captures of the grid view but I can't post them because I'm being asked for labels for each image but I don't know what labels it is referring to. There is nothing wrong in the grid view or in the folder itself, but the catalog on the left column says that there are only 14 images.  Clearly that is wrong.  Both Windows explorer and the count summery at the bottom the Grid View agree on the 2000+ number.  But the left column says there are only 14 A second screen capture shows the image count of 14 but again, I don't know how to post it.   I see no other errors.  I have no idea why this particular folder vs all the others, is wrong.&nbs

Hello,My LR Classic becomes extremely slow after viewing a few photos. While image processing works fine, there is a delay between the filmstrip and the large window, even if I just add a star.This problem has been going on for a long time. We added RAM to the computer, and although I'm no expert, I think it's a high-performance machine. Of course, I've already reinstalled LR.I also created a second catalog in which I added a few images, but the problem remains the same.Here are the technical specifications for LR: Hello,My LR Classic becomes extremely slow after viewing a few photos.

All of my catalogs keep getting corrupted almost every day (sometimes even multiple times a day), and this is absolutely frustrating!   I am using Lightroom Classic version 14.0.1. Running on macOS Sequoia 15.0.1. MacBook Pro M2 Pro. My catalog files are stored on external SSDs along with my RAW files. I don't save catalogs on my laptop's internal storage because the Lightroom previews take up a significant amount of space. Before you start suggesting that it might have something to do with my SSDs, I'm pretty sure that's not the case because this is how I have been working with the previous versions of Lightroom Classic and I never had a problem. I have five different external SSDs (some new, some a few years old) with five different catalogs, and ALL of them keep getting corrupted multiple times a week.   Usually, after repairing the catalogs, they start working again, but I don't want it to keep happening since it significantly slows down my workflow. I'm afraid I mig

I have a Collection of more than 240 images. The Book module will only import the first 240 into the Filmstrip and Book Layout. By placing multiple images on some pages, the Book is now only 187 pages. How do I import additional images beyond the first 240 in the Collection so as to have a Book that is 240 pages long but with many more images than that?

Hello everyone,Lightroom Classic slideshow freezes the music and starts it over again. I've been having this problem for a couple of months now.Does anyone know what's causing it and how to fix it?Sometimes I can fix it by putting the song on the faster SSD, but that doesn't always work.Help please!

I have a catalog of several hundred photos I have been editing for the last three months. I thought I finished today, but when I scrolled back, an entire section was no longer edited, even though I know I edited them previously. The photos are still there but show no record of being edited. I went looking for backups and realized the catalog had not been backed up, even though it was set to back up once a week. I am using Lightroom Classic and updated today to v 14.5.1. I have no idea if the edits were there before I updated it or not. I would really appreciate any advice!

Often when I am trying to move a picture from Lightroom into Photoshop, selecting "edit in photoshop" does not work.  If I then select it a second time, it opens in Photoshop as expected.  Pretty annoying. It has been doing this for a while over several versions of LR and Photoshop, but currently I have: Lightroom Classic 14.5.1Photoshop 26.10MacBook Air, Sequoia 15.6 Thanks!

I'm a long time Lightroom user and I'm running Lightroom Classic 14.5.1 on MacOs 15.6.1.Over the last few Lightroom Classic updates, but more so in this version, I'm noticing an issue. After importing photos and creating a collection which is synced, one can 'flag' photos. Sometimes (not always), the 'flags' don't always sync to the photo online - even though LR has completed the sync (ie; cloud icon on far right has green tick).Updates to the photo (exposure, contrast etc) are applied to the version online  just fine - just not the flagged status, leaving me to have to manually find the photo and flag it in the online version.As I said - it doesn't happen ALL the time, but happens several times a day..I've tried reinstalling, restarting, etc - so reaching out!
