Lightroom Classic

Hello.  I have one catalogue but the photos are split over two hard drives.  One of those hard drives is an old HDD and i have created an exact copy of the files (file structure and photos within) to an SSD of the same size.  I thought it would be easy to then just start using the new SSD but although i can see the hard drive appear within "folders", i do not know how to ask lightroom to point to this hard drive to view and start editing the old photos off this new har drive.  Is there an simple way of doing this that i am missing? Many thanks

Está acontecendo algo muito chato já faz um tempo, toda vez que eu salvo uma foto no PS que ela volta para o LRC como PSD o LRC aplica um ajuste nela, se eu não ficar atento eu envio fotos ruins para os meus clientes. Daí, após editar todas as fotos eu tenho que sair excluindo esse ajuste que foi colocado no PSD que voltou do PS para o LRC, um verdadeiro atraso para o meu fluxo de trabalho, como resolver isso? Versão do LRC 15.1 e do PS 27.2.0

Hi everyone, I’m hoping for some clarity on an issue I’m seeing with Lightroom Classic and exports. I’m editing photos in Lightroom Classic on a Mac with an Apple studio display. Inside Lightroom, the image looks perfect and desired to me, skin tones look clean and neutral. However, once I export the image as a JPEG (sRGB, embedded profile) and view it outside of Lightroom (email preview, WeTransfer download, airdrop.), the photo consistently looks a bit greener / yellower and slightly darker — even when I’m viewing it on the same computer. So it’s not really device-to-device differences it’s: Lightroom preview vs the exported JPEG in other apps on the same Mac I’ve already: Turned off True Tone and Night Shift, Checked that my export settings are correct, Confirmed this happens across multiple non-Adobe viewers. And I see too that my display on Studio Display is not the culprit as I sent it to myself and the export still differs. I’m trying to understand

Depuis 2 jours le debruitage prend 10 min par photo. Le seul changement que j'ai identifié est la mise a jour de adobe creative cloud v 6.8.1.1865. Comment résoudre cela? Merci

I have a customer that sent me a preset to use on their photos.  When I go to import the preset into Lightroom Classic on a PC, I get an error message "unable to import presets all items were already imported".  Is it possible that they took a preset that I have already in LR but it has a different name?  If yes, how do I import the preset my customer wants me to use, or determine what the duplicate with a differnt name is?  I have quite a few presets.  

Bonjour,Certaines fonctionnalités dans Lightroom Classic, dernière version mise à jour, ne fonctionnent pas ou sont très aléatoires.Par exemple, le "flou de l'objectif" affiche systématiquement un message d'erreur lorsque je veux m'en servir ou encore les masques ne sont pas tous utilisables.Je précise que je suis sur Windows 11, que mon GPU et ma carte graphique sont désactivés.

I don't know if anyone can help, but I have recently bought a Canon iX6850 printer and am struggling to get good quality prints out of Lightroom Classic. I am experiencing banding including faint black lines, which are noticeable in the whole print but especially in the top corner of the attached example. It seems to print fine outside of Lightroom... I have tried two different papers: Fotospeed PF Gloss 270 and Platinum Etching 285. For each one I used the relevant profile. I have done hardware tests and it is not the hardware. It prints clearly with no banding from Windows Photo viewer and the print heads and rollers are fine (I haven't used it much yet). The colours are a long way off too, but I suspect this is because I haven't calibrated my monitor. Any help would be appreciated!

Whenever I click on Edit In there are all these items listed that I don't want to see.How can I remove them?Thanks. 

I backed up my LRC catalog about 24 hours ago, reopened it today to import some photos, and then closed it, backing it up again.  When I reopened the program, all my photo folders had disappeared.  I had no luck trying to open older LRC catalogs -- the same issue occurred. I tried resetting my preferences per recommendations from this forum the other day, which solved my problem at the time.  Today, that action has no impact. I have tried to attach sceenprints of LR, along with screenprints of my catalogs and files, but the forum will not allow me to either drag & drop the documents or post them from my file, so I embedded them in the post itself.  Per a request from an earlier forum member (on another issue), I am also attaching system data from LR.  When I double-click on the LR Catalog.lrcat, I get a spinning wheel for several sconds, then nothing. How do I access the catalog I saved yesterday which showed all my photo folders?   I have Windows 10 PC with a 2TB SDD with 400GB+ o

Depuis une dernière MAJ de LIGHTROOM, je n'arrive plus à renommer par lot le TITRE des photos (dans le module bibliothèque). Avant je séléctionnais plusieurs photos, je renommais le titre dans les metadonnées et une fenêtre s'ouvrait pour me demander "voulez-vous renommer toutes les photos ?". Désormais, je n'ai plus cette fenêtre et malgré la sélection de plusieurs photos, il ne renomme qu'une seule photo. Ce n'est plus possible du tout ? ou c'est possible mais autrement ? MERCI !

Hello - I am wanting to report a change in the export menu on LRClassic. I used to be able to export to jpg with long side measurment in pixels.  Is this a bug or how can we fix this?  Exporting seems different.ThanksBarb

Does anybody know of a way to create a virtual copy of an image directly into a specific collection? My use case is as follows: I have several collections of images, organised by 'photo shoot'. I have a need for some photos to be edited with different aspect ratios (typcially 6x4, 16x9 and 16x10) so they can be published on varying media. I then want to collect up these photos into collections based on the aspect ratio. So currently I end up making several virtual copies of some of my images in the original 'photo shoot' collection, then manually adding them to the relevant 'aspect ratio' collection, then removing the virtual copies from the main 'photo shoot' collection. What I am after is a way to drag and drop (or some such) the original photo to an exisiting 'aspect ratio' collection and create a virtual copy there which I can go and adjust. Thanks

Hi dear Community, I'm experiencing a problem with the removal tool in Lighroom Classic. I'm editing a timelapse and I'm trying to remove some dust spots from all photos (around 400). When I remove them from the first photo and only sync the setting from "manual removal" (AI togle was also not selected when using the manual removal or healing tool), it synchorinzes fast, but than a window with "Updating AI settings may take some time" appears and this process takes 190 minutes for all 400 photos...If I stop the process it won't apply the removal spots on all selected photos!F few years back without the AI features in LR, the sync for a removal tool took me seconds.Why does it render it as AI, when no AI feature was used? Any recommendations to fix this?

I was going to post about my Export folders disappearing, but think I have solved that problem.  Somewhere along the way, the "Add to This Catalog" box got unchecked in the Export dialog. Question 1:  If my exported edited files were not added to the current catalog, where are they (from Lightroom's perspective)?  The Export folders and their files are exactly where I expect them to be when I view them in Windows Explorer, that being "Same folder as original photo" in subfolder "Export." Question 2:  How do I go about adding those folders and files to the current catalog so that Lightroom sees them when viewing the Library module? Thanks! 

I am using a MacBook Pro M3 Pro omputer with 16 GB of memory as I have been for a couple of years. I use the internal SD card reader on the computer which I have tested and it gets close to the stated read speed of the card. The computer has OSX 15.7.3. My Lightroom Classic is version 15.1. My SD cards are ProGrade 256GB, 250MB/s cards. I shoot compressed RAW files on a Canon R6 MKII. I think this prroblem started with the upgrade to LR 15.   As an example, a couple of days ago I came back from shooting 3 basketball games with a little over 6,000 frames on the card, about 105 GB of data. I stick the card into the card reader and the Lightroom Classic import window comes up. I have found that I need to wait many minutes, maybe areound 10 for 6,000 files, for LR to read all the files on the card before I actually click import. If I do that everything works fine.   If I don't wait the 10 minutes, and actually verify that LR has seen all the files, they won't all import.   T

Don't know what the issue is but all of a sudden LRC running on MacMiniProM4, the size of the Catalog cannot be changed, fill the whole screen (27" dell) and I cannot make it smaller, no matter what I try.  Turned it on off, etc. nothing helps.  I cannot see menu items and the Apple Menu overlaps the LR Menu, etc. Any ideas?

I have two external HDDs and one external SSD. All mount in OS 15.7 (Sequoia) with no problem, apart from the fact that after I made a Time Machine backup earlier today, the two HDDs do not appear in LR Classic anymore. In finder they are OK, showing all the image files that they contain, but nada in LR Classic. Do I have to reimport them again into Classic so that they get re-included in the catalog? That woud therefore register their presence as external HDDs correct? My "collection" of Library files seems large (pic). Are there any I can discard?  Thanks for any pointers.

All my presets on lightroom classic have disappeared.  They are showing up in Photoshop only.  When I try to reinstall, it claims they are already installed.  I'm sure i'm doing something stupid, but does anyone have any suggestions? 

I am working with the latest versions of Lightroom Classic and Photoshop on an Acer desktop. I have finally, through watching You Tube videos, learned about the difference between folders and collections. I have been using collections almost exclusively having been told early on to prefer them. But what has always mystified me is what happens to various edits. My work flow calls for creating Collection Sets and then nesting a Select connection beneath that. And often I make a number of copies of a photo in a collection so that I can edit them differently and I presume that those remain in that "select" file. But then because sometimes I need to do additional stacking edits in photoshop, will open them in that program and save them. But are they saved in the same original date identifed folder and since I'm not prompted to rename them, does anyone have any suggestions for how to save them so that I can distinguish them, and am I, lastly, safe to assume these too are to be found in

I made a mistake and moved files and renamed them on my PC. LRc now can't find the file. Can I delete the catalog in LRc and import the new, renamed files? And, how do I go about doing it? Please, need help.

Hi,I want to create a petition or at least gather support to push Adobe into fixing a few real problems that me and my friends from the photography industry deal with every single day. We all work on Windows.Below is a clear list of issues. If you have anything to add, please leave a comment. I’ll gladly update the list. PHOTOSHOPAccidentally activating the top menu (File, Edit, Image, etc.)Can this finally be fixed so that pressing Alt or accidentally hitting keyboard letters doesn’t activate the top menu bar? During fast retouching, panning, zooming, and general workflow, the focus suddenly jumps to the menu and something gets selected by accident. This breaks the rhythm every few seconds. Even just accidentally tapping Alt immediately activates that bar. Hue/Saturation range slider bugWhen dragging the range markers, sometimes the markers “overlap” and the middle range starts behaving illogically. Example: I set the start to 200 degrees and the end to 300 degrees, but afte

I am experiencing a critical issue with Lightroom Classic CC on my PC (Windows 11, 64-bit). Lightroom Classic does not start and gets permanently stuck on the splash screen at the stage Reading Preferences.I have already tried all standard troubleshooting steps, including:Restarting the PC Uninstalling and reinstalling Lightroom Classic CCManually deleting the Lightroom preferences foldersUnfortunately, the issue persists every single time, and Lightroom never finishes launching.This makes the software completely unusable, and I am unable to work on my photos.How can I solve it?

On Sony A7V, when I import the raw files in LrC and I move to the development tab then LrC pops up a message indicating that the files are either damage or unsupported. My LrC is on version 15.1, I also moved the raw files to a local folder but it did not work. Please help I'm leaving for a trip in 2 weeks and wants to have this issue solved before I leave. Thanks for your help.

I've been using Photoshop and Lightroom for years and just noticed a keyword issue that I don't know how to fix. I use heirarchical keywords and see that if a child keyword is used, Lightroom was set up to include the parent keyword. I don't want that. This is easily fixed in Lightroom by editing the parent  keyword and unchecking Include On Export. My issue is that I have thousands of original .psd and .jpg files that also include the parent keywords. The only way I've found to fix this is to edit the Photoshop File Info and remove the parent keywords, saving the changes  and then in Lightroom do a Read Metadata from File. So far, so good. Now, say I need to make another change to the Lightroom metadata such as adding another keyword.  I do that, write the metadata to the file and save that change. Everything still looks good in Lightroom. If I now open that file in Photoshop, the Parent keywords come back. Somehow Lightroom remembers the original keywording s

LRC 15.1 Mac 14.8.3, I have a catalog with 25K+ files, now showing 20K+ 'file not found'. This is a recent occurrence. In the past, I have had a few files with the !, but 20k out of 25k?? Is anyone aware of similar issues, ideas on fixing?
