Lightroom Classic

I didn't call this a bug... but do you think I should? If an image in a folder under Folders in LrC is replaced with an image by the same name, and then Synchronize Folder... is picked, LrC discovers that the metadata has changed and puts the exclamation point on the image.  When that is click and the new data pulled in from the disk, the image itself is not updated.  LrC knows the file has changed but assumes the image is the same image.  To me, that is just silly. The work around is to delete and then re-add the image. I hit this because I'm doing a weird publishing chain up to SmugMug.  I want to put a name plate on each image for a particular gallery I have on SmugMug.  My current (awkward) process:Publish the images to my Hard Drive (publish -- not export so only the files that change are updated)go to my Terminal app and run a script which creates new images that have been modified (via ImageMagick)Import those images into LrCPublish these

I have a keyword of Animals and for some reason in the drop down list of keywords some other keywords have become sub-items of the Animals keyword.  I would like to move the out from under Animals so they are at a higher level and be their own keywords.  How can I do this and what do you think may have caused this.  I use commas to seperate my keywords when I specify multiple keywords in the input box.  Thanks!  I am on Windows 11 computer.

On my iMac 27" (2017) it's not possible to update the OS anymore. Therefore, the LTR Classic catalogue, which was recently updated by a brand new MacBook, cannot be opened.The question:is there a way to update the iMac OS at least to Mac OS 14?I know there's a possibility to downgrade the LTR Classic to a previous version, but I've recently done so much work  with my new Macbook which would be lost if I did it.Any suggestion?Titusminor

Bonjour,LRC15.1 sous W11, je n'arrive pas à sauvegarder le catalogue sur mes disques durs alors qu'il y a de la palce et que j'ai les droits amdin partout.Merci de m'aider.YannHi, LRC15.1 under W11, I can't save a backup of y catalogue on any HDD of my computer whereas there is enough free octets and I am admonistrator of the computer.Thx for your help,Yann 

Idea: The ability to mark a Collection as a favorite and have ability to somehow turn on/off display of Favorited Collections or some other way to seperate Favorites. This would be real nice for those with large collections - not having to search for that commonly used collection each time. Maybe incorporating colors into it somehow (sort/filter collections by color labels?)

There has been some discussion about the problem LrC has with ACR masks.  See my comment in this discussion: https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/lightroom-has-encountered-problems-reading-this-photo-since-upgrade-to-lightroom-14-0-1/m-p/14943179 That problem is not easy to reliably reproduce, but when making extensive use of masks, at some point LrC reports there has been an error and the file can no longer be edited.  At that point you were toast and all your work was lost.  There seems to have some improvement in v15.1 since when the error occurs now after shutting down and restarting it is sometimes possible to continue editing and exporting the file.  But the performance is erratic.  Most of the time with light use of masks no error occurs. In order to try to avoid this error I have started Using LrC to open files as smart objects in Photoshop26, and then do the ACR edits in PS.  The smart objects seem to work as

[Win 11 & LRClassic with all current updates.]Upon synchronizing some folders, LR showed that a number of files were "Missing."  However, the files are very much NOT missing.  They are healthy, stable files that are located in precisely the right spot.  And yet, no amount of Finding or Locating these files seems to convince LR of their presence.  Recently, I've had this happen occasionally, but I could simply Remove the image from the Library, then immediately re-sync the folder. Problem fixed. (Not actually fixed, but a workaround, at least.)However, the workaround is no longer working around.  LR is insisting that files are Missing, and I am unable to convince it, otherwise.  I've been using LR since 1.0, so I'm pretty familiar with these things, but this one has me stumped.  Hopefully, it's just me, and I am failing to see the obvious.  Any help would be much appreciated.PS: Now, on top of all that, I'm trying to include a series of e

Bonjour, depuis que j'ai installé Lightroom classic sur Mac je ne peux pas utiliser la reduction de bruit. Quand je coche la case, un page m'indique le chargement de la detection de bruit par IA, mais lorsque que celleci à finie de charger la case se décoche. Et quand je veux la recochcer ça ne marche plus. Cela ne vient pas de mes photos car j'ai pu faire cette manip sur un ordi windows et pas de soucis. J'arrive pas a savoir si ça vient de mon ordinateur ou du logiciel.  Avez-vous des solutions ?Merci d'avance pour vos retour. 

Hi FolksI have been using LR Classic for over 3 years without any issues.Suddenly though, I am unable to import images direct from either of my two cameras in the usuial fashion.The Import screen does not appear to detect any images on the memory card. (It doesn't matter how long I leave it - even if there is only 1 image too! (Pic attached)Then I can not close the Import screen and have to use Task Manager to close LR.It will not let me drag and drop from the Windoes 11 Folder menu (Pic attached)The only way I can drag and drop is to copy the Images(s) from the Mem card into a new Folder on the PC and drag them from there. This is obviously unsatisfactory.I wonder if it is anything to do with the recent ipdate to 15.1? (System Info attached)Camera are Nikon Z8 and D850.I hope somebody can help.Thanks  -David   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.

Recently when I synch HEIC images from my iphone they are not visable in lightroom classic or photoshop. LR says it has encountered problems reading this photo and photoshop says an unknown AIDE library error has occured. Strange thing is these images are viewable on the creative cloud desktop and can be opened in Lightroom Desktop.I have the latest codecs and Ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling all three programsAny ideas?

Hi, when stitching panoramas in Lightroom classic (macOS), I get heavy banding / unexpected (blue) color gradients in the sky sections - so both when Lightroom is simply stitching panoramas (not happening when stitching through Photoshop 2026), but especially noticeable when using the functionality "Fill edges" - it's basically completely unusable since version 15.1. See example attached, for comparison between stitching with or without filling edges...By the way, the result comes out exactly like this - also when exporting the resulting file (to Jpeg or tiff ort whatever), it looks exactly the same; in Photoshop stitching works like a charm though, result as always... So I'd say, it's definitely a Lightroom Classic bug.Maybe some of your devs played with the Ai too much, in order to speed things up in Lightroom, and it wasn't tested thoroughly in Beta versions of course - since app. most users don't notice anyway (at least I didn't read any other bug reports on this so far)

Hi all, I'm a lifelong PC user who just bought a new Mac Mini M4 pro. I would like to transfer my existing LrC Catalog and 1.5 TB of photos from my PC to my new Mac Mini M4 pro. I've searched this site but couldn't really find specifics to my exact situation so excuse me if this is redundant information etc.. Excuse my ignorance, but I would like some expert advise before I attempt this transfer since I've read conflicting information on this process. I would like to keep this simple and intend to just use my existing external formatted NTFS drive from my PC which contains my catalog and all my photos and copy those files to another APFS formatted external hard drive on the new Mac. My understanding is that that MacOS can read a NTFS drive but can't write to it so I'm assuming my intended method will work. That being said, most folks recommend formatting the PC external drive to exFat before I copy to the files to my new external APFS external drive on the

Lightroom gives me this warning every time it starts up but I've already learned the hard way that if I don't limit the number of backups it will take over and flood my hard drive with endless backups which I don't want. A few recent backups is all I would ever want and actually have never used a catalog backup in all of the years I've used Lightroom. What do the experts say, just ignore this worning and continue to work with Lightroom and enjoy saving precious hard drive space?

A few days before Christmas, i decided to move my ~30k photos from my local storage to Lightroom CC so that i can access and edit them from anywhere. So what i did for each of my main folder (ex: family, sports, etc): - export folder as catalog - import catalog in Lightroom CC This allowed me to move in batches of 1k-5k photos.   Now i realize i probably made a mistake. Because using Lightroom Classic is still useful.  So i think i should have simply turned on Sync in Lighroom Classic. And that's what i did now, expecting that it would sync only the "test" synced collection i just created. But it seems to be downloading the 30k pictures from the cloud.   I think that now i have 2 complete archive of my pictures, one local and one in the cloud, but with the way i've done things, Lighroom sees those as 2 different things and wont be happy until the remote archive is downloaded, or the local archive is uploaded. Which means what i have done so far was useless. So how can i

Since upgrading to LR 15 and now 15.1, the develop module is very slow. Switching pictures or applying settings can freeze the interface for many seconds, and my CPU remains pinned for a long time after switching images.  I've tried many of the suggestions that I found in other similar posts regarding prior versions of LR Classic, but nothing is really helping now. No matter what settings I use for Graphics Acceleration (and even though it says it's fully accelerated), it's using mostly CPU and almost no GPU. Has anyone else encountered this in 15.1 and found any resolution? Here's my System Info as reported by Lightroom: Lightroom Classic version: 15.1 [ 202512101606-1bb801a8 ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: enOperating system: Windows 10 - Business EditionVersion: 10.0.19045Application architecture: x64System architecture: x64Logical processor count: 8Processor speed: 4.2GHzSqLite Version: 3.36.0Adobe GSDK Version: 1.4.0.171 CPU Utilisation

Happy New Year everyone. So i dont know if super resolution is working properly as i click on the box, the progress bar appears and completes but the pixel count and file seem to remain unaltered . I understood [ a bit like de-noise used to do] a separate DNG file was created but that isn't happening. Advice needed please.

After importing images into a new catalog, they are not showing up visibly. I have to shut LR down, then reopen in order to see the images I just imported. This has never happened before. I use Lightroom Classic on MacOS Tahoe 26.1. It only began after I updated the latest version of Lightroom Classic 15.0.1 The images are all there, but it's not very productive to have to shut down, then restart the program. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Any solutions?

Running Lightroom Classic on Windows 11.  I have not had any issues previously with this setup previously. The issue only appears to happen on images taken earlier than 2025.  I have been running the same hardware, cameras etc for the last couple of years.  I'm not sure if this is related to a recent Lightroom update.  I haven't tried to edit any photos from earlier than 2025 for a number of months. When trying to open files in the Develop module,  when hovering the mouse over the 3 dots above each thumbnail it shows "Loading".  Clicking on the image does not open the file into the module.  My files are all saved as Original + Smart Preview.  I assume it is the Smart Preview that I can "open" in the Library module.  If I right click on the image and "Go to file in library", the file is in the expected folder. If I "Show in Explorer", the file and associated XMP are in the expected location.  I can then open the

My MS Surface Pro won't import MP4 files taken with a Sony A6600.   What's worse, any folder containing MP4 files will prevent ALL photos from importing.  If I pick a folder without any MP4 files - all good.   But any folder containing an MP4 file locks up the entire folder. However, on my Dell XPS 9500 - Everything works - all MP4s import as expected - no issues.The surface runs an ARM processor, which Adobe says isn't supported yet, but it notes that the Intel versions should work. Is there any way to filter the import so it will not try and import MP4s - I will have to separate videos into a separate folder in the meantime. Here are the detailsSurface PC Specs  = Dell specs afterwards Microsoft Surface Pro 12in Copilot PC 11th EditionProcessor Snapdragon X Plus (8-core) @ 3.30 GHz (3.24 GHz)Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.6 GB usable)System type 64-bit operating system, ARM-based processorPen and touch Pen and touch support with 10 touch p
