Lightroom Classic

Recently, whenever I import photos the directory in which they are supposed to wind up shows as greyed out and empty in the Folders panel (on the left), but in Finder I see that the photos are actually there in the directory. No filters are active. Lightroom Classic 15.0.1 on MacOS Tahoe 26.1. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Since updating to 15 the lens blur function no longer works. If i apply it to a photo nothing happens even after analyzing. photos that once had it applied now do not and updating AI settings isn't fixing it.   I have tried backing up and checking catalog integrity as some users have suggested but the problem is till here. I'm very close to finishing a wedding edit but this bug has put me back massively. 

Since upgrading to 15.0.1 of LRC all Topaz plugins except AI Studio, fail to load and causes LRC to Freeze completely requiring a forced shutdown.  I have uninstalled the Topaz products and reinstalled them, to no avail. Any suggestions as to what I may do to fix this?  I’m running on Windows 11 with 13th gen of intel i9, and 32gb free ram and 4 tb free disk space, for graphics I have a Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 ti with 12gb ram. Everything worked before the upgrade.

So randomly this week my standard image previews disappeared. Consistent advice was they were corrupt, delete the folder and generate new ones. I ran Lightroom all night to generate new standard perviews, and nothing. Progress bar didn't move for 12 hrs. Generating Smart Previews progress bar completed but nothing showed. Tried importing images with the "embedded and sidecar" build previews option like normal and it gets stuck and will not generate new previews. When I try and close Lightroom and back up the catalog, it gets stuck on preview section and will not close. For context, all files are stored and backed up in SharePoint. It's my first time using cloud storage with Lightroom and unsure how or if that factors here. 

I'm new to Lightroom from Capture one. My macbook runs great on Final Cut Pro editing 4k60 videos and on Capture One but when it comes to LrC some features make it unusable. With graphics switching off on the mac, and all combinations of accelerator on in LrC, I would expect LrC tro use my more powerful graphics card. Ai Denoise takes 45 seconds or more and uses my fast card, landscape mask takes longer but uses my slow card and makes my computer freeze up until its finished maxing out my gpu at 96%. Anyone have a cure for this? I want to only use my fast card. I have a 2019 Macbook Pro 16", 2.4 GHz 8-Core Intel i9, 64 gb Ram, AMD Radeon Pro 5600m 8gb Graphics Card (fast) and UHD Graphics 630 Card (slow) . I'm running Sequoia. 

Hi all - I have been having an issue with my Macbook Pro (2021 M1) crashing on the first photo import attempt. It does not seem to matter how many photos I try to import, the computer crashes upon hitting the import button. After restarting the computer, it usually imports without issues. I have started doing one bogus import to let the computer crash so that I can get on with actual work. I saw one other post about someone's M2 Mac behaving in a possibly similar way, but otherwise I can't find any information or answers about this. I am not sure if this started with an update of LR or the Mac - it seemed to start randomly several months or longer ago. The Mac itself seems fine - All other apps behave normally. My colleague with an older Mac does not have this problem. Any ideas? Thanks

Hi! I use a 16" M1 Max MacBook Pro with maxed out specs and 64gb ram. I’m experiencing severe lag in the Library module when navigating between photos on a Studio Display (5K resolution) connected to an M1 Max MacBook Pro (64GB RAM). Even with 1:1 previews built, GPU acceleration enabled, and low preview quality, the lag persists — unless I reduce the macOS display scaling to a lower, non-native setting (e.g., 2560×1440).This clearly points to a UI rendering issue in Lightroom Classic at high-resolution scaling settings.Please address proper support for 5K/6K displays and Apple Silicon native UI performance. It is fast with the MacBook Pro screen and it is fast with lower resolution on the Studio Display. But it is very very slow when I use the native 5K resolution. Not the upscaled resolution, just the native. So the resolution is Default and it is slow! Please fix this issue because the slow library is making my life really difficult when culling images. &nbs

What happens to my photos if I cancel my Adobe subscription? edits ?

I have several collections set to sync on LrC. All additional photos I add and edits to existing sync'd photos transfer between LrC desktop and the Lr Mobile app. Except one photo. This photo has been syncing for over 6 months across several updates of LrC desktop and the mobile app. I'm including the sync error messsage from my iPhone Lr Mobile app and the sync screen in Preferences on LrC desktop. I also did "Rebuild Sync Data" which I know newer versions of LrC now recommend you do NOT do but that has previously solved sync issues in the past. I also made minor edits to the photo on both LrC desktop and Lr Mobile as that has often "kick started" the sync process to work when photo syncing wasn't working in previous versions of LrC over the years. Neither has impacted this issue in any way that I can see. Why is this one photo not syncing and how to fix it?

Habe meinen Rechner gewechselt und habe jetzt folgende Fehlermeldung beim Öffnen von Lightroom Classic. Kann mir jemand einen Tip geben welche Einstellungen hier falsch sein könnten? Vielen Dank schon mal

Looks like the latest update for Lightroom Classic Desktop 15.0.1 has bricked the program. Can't open existing catalogs or create a new one. Running Windows 11 on a desktop. Used previous version yesterday with no issues.    [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

Since I upgraded to V15 and subsequently V15.01 it takes several minutes to open Lightroom and I am on a high end PC.  This was never an issue before the upgrade !!  What changed ?

LRC 15.0.1 PS 2026 I have an issue when I'm taking an image from LRC to PS to edit. When I save that image in PS it comes back to LRC without being added to the collection the original was in. It means I have to go to Catalogue - All photographs to find it then add it manually to the collection I'd grouped it in. Any ideas. Thank you.

Hi all, hoping someone can help me figure out what I'm doing wrong re the Dust Jacket cover option. I've built an extensive book and originally had chosen the wrap for the cover but decided to change to the Dust Jacket. But for some reason, LR will not let me add photos to the Dust Jacket. I've chosen the first template in the drop down menu and I see the photo cells, but no matter what I do, LR will not let me drag and drop photos into the cells. Weirdly, if I drag a photo to the space between the cell and, say, the spine, the photo will install there, but only in full, 2-page spread mode. Also, as someone else noted back in 2019, for some reason, the Dust Jacket background is gray and has no grid lines, even though my background color is white and I have grid lines turned on. I have the latest OS for Mac and the latest LR Classic installed. Please see screenshots. Many thanks for any insights, advice, fixes!!

Bonjour, J'ai un problème et n'arrive pas à mettre à jour Lightroom Classic avec la dernière version sur mon PC de bureau (Windows 10).J'ai le message suivant : "Impossible d'accéder aux serveurs Adobe, vérifiez vos paramètres de pare-feu, assurez-vous que les paramètres de date et heure sur votre ordinateur sont corrects, puis réessayer"J'ai déjà essayé les méthodes décrites ici : https://helpx.adobe.com/fr/download-install/kb/unable-to-reach-adobe-servers.htmlJ'ai désactivé provisoirement mon antivirus : pas de changement. J'ai vérifié dans le pare-feu Windows qu'Adobe Creative Cloud est bien sur la liste blanche : oui.J'ai vérifié les date et heure : c'est OKJ'ai alors décidé de tout déinstaller et réinstaller, mais je n'y arrive pas...Avant de désinstaller Adobe Creative Coud, je voulais d'abord désinstaller Lightroom Classic (comme le conseille Adobe), or je ne peux pas :- dans Windows directement, si j'essaye de le désinstaller, j'ai le même message "Impossible d'a

Voici une solution que j'ai trouvée pour le problème de synchronisation avec les serveurs Adobe et le message "Impossible d'accéder aux serveurs"sur mon PC de bureau (Windows 10). A chaque fois que j'éteins mon ordinateur de bureau et que je le rallume, j'ai perdu la connexion aux serveurs Adobe.Pour la rétablir, je suis obligée :- de désactiver complètement mon antivirus.- de relancer Creative Cloud Desktop- je peux ensuite de nouveau réactiver mon antivirus- Creative Cloud Desktop continue à fonctionner ensuite- jusqu'à ce que j'éteigne mon ordinateur- quand je le rallume, j'ai à nouveau perdu la connexion aux serveurs Adobe- je suis à nouveau obligée de faire toute cette manipulation... Je n'ai pas ce problème avec mon ordinateur portable qui a pourtant le même antivirus mais qui par-contre fonctionne avec Windows 11.

sehr geehrte Community. Ich habe mir letztes Jahr eine Prepaid Karte für ein Jahr gekauft. Das "Abo" ist das Photo Abo mit 20 GB Cloudspeicher. Nun die Frage. Kann ich mir nun zum Black Friday in einer Aktion eine neue Karte kaufen und mein Abo einfach verlängern? Das war wohl früher möglich!Freue mich über eine Antwort. Besten Dank. mfg 

Hi! Since 29/9 i can't backup my system because of a damaged file.How can i fix it? I've tried the help and import the latest working one and import the missing folders but when i quit it and it asks for backup it fails after a while.

Früher konnte ich eine RAW-Dateien im Explorer kopieren, dann in LR den Befehl 'Ordner synchronisieren' anwählen und so hatte ich die RAW-Datei als Kopie mit LR verknüpft. Jetzt funktioniert dies nicht mehr. Liegt dies an meinen Voreinstellungen? Wie kann ich Kopien von RAW-Dateien in LR anlegen um einen anderen Look für das gleiche Foto zu generieren?

Is there a way to select images based on certain criteria (i.e. keyword, label etc) and have them be effectively hidden from view in both grid and develop mode? I'd like it to appear as if they simply dont exist, only to come back if i go somwhere in settings to toggle view for these images back on.  Thank you

I'm having issues with the speed of the develop module. It completely disrupts my workflow and significantly slows down my pace. When I'm finished selecting my images and I quickly want to adjust my images in the develop view, most images display instantly as expected. But sometimes the all of the UI changes, except the main image view. I can even do adjustments in the dev panel (I use a streamdeck via plugin to do this) and the commands arrive in the develop pane, but the image in the main view is still the old image, and it does not update. This can take up to 10s.  All this is happening on a Macbook Pro M4 Max with 64GB RAM und 2TB SSD. The images are RAWs from a Sony Alpha 1. From a pure technical point of view, there is really no reason why it could take this long to load 55MB of RAW data from SSD into any kind of other Memory on this type of hardware.   I would love to find out which piece of software is blocking the main image from displaying for such an incr

Lightroom doesn't recognize that I want to add photos. I'm on Lightroom 15.0.1In this release, Lightroom changed the way the Import window works compared to previous versions.The mode selection is a bit different, where you can select if you want to add the photos, or copy them, etc.My problem:In previous versions, if you just selected a folder in finder and just dragged it onto the Lightroom Classic app icon, it immediately recognized that I want to import this folder and selected the 'Add' mode for import.If I had a memory card inside, and just selected import in Lightroom, and I selected the memory card, it immediately knew that I want to copy the files. Now it wants to copy everything and doesn't remember my selections. I think it is really obvious if I drag a folder into Lightroom, I just want to add it. It was working in every previous versions perfectly, I don't know why change this for the worse...:S

Just updated my adobe software. Now when I am synching photos, even with crop turned off, it places the crop on all the photos.  What a pain.  Any suggestions or can they fix this??  Thank you!
