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.

Bonjour , ce matin impossible d'acceder a mon abonnement Lghtroom. Il m'indique abonnement expiré.   Quand je regarde mon compte mon abonnement annuel , il reste 330 jours.... je n'arrive pas a contacter Adobe , j'ai essayer de me connecter et reconnecter .. mais rien n'y fait. Une solution ? Merci de votre aide  

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?

Ook niet als ik meerdere afbeeldingen selecteer , Foto / Verbeteren uitvoer. ik kan dan ook niet batch ruis verminderen laten uitvoeren. op een enkele afbeelding kan ik wel ruis verminderen. is wel erg veel werk om 250 afbeeldingen stuk voor stuk te laten bewerken. wat is er mis? best regards, Walter Frankvoort    [moved from bugs to discussions according to the commuity rules - Mod.]

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

I want to create a 16" wide by 20" high print. I have done this successfully in the print module and used print to file . Everything looks ok but the picture looks paler/less vibrant. So I went to the usual export process in the library module. . The aspect ratio is set at 4x5 but lightroom will not export at 16"x20" . It will keep 16" but then changes the other dimension to 12.5" . When exported if I try changing it to 20" high the horizontal dimension moves to 25". I'm not sure what's going on . How can I export correctly at 16@ x 20" ? 

I have the lastest LR classic 15.1 and whenever the PC awake from screen timeout, the LR and the whole system would freeze, causes PC automatically restart with the message of TDR error  or DPC watchdog violation. If I stops the GPU acceleration options in Preference>>Performance than everything is fine. 

I have some 850 images to import to LRC 14.0.1, and many among them are heavily underexposed. (no fault of the photographer as they are of a speaker and their slides in a room with house lights dimmed). I would like to apply the "Auto" radio button as in "Develop", but when calling the Apply During Import dropdown, I get a huge range of choices that does NOT include  the simple "Auto" which is offered in "Develop". Can anyone out there please suggest a fix for a relative novice? (Clearly we will not be keeping all 850)Anthony

I have spent that last few days trying to view full sized photos stored in the Lightroom cloud vs just Smart Previews as I have exceeded my 20GB limit. I'm just a photography enthusiast so really don't need more than this. There doesn't appear to be any way to do this. I can view the Smart Previews, but trying to see the Non-Smart Previews seems impossible. I have contacted Adobe Support directly about this and have case ADB-43196329-Y5W0 open. Two support people tried to assist. The first seemed to have dropped the chat when it became too difficult and the other did a remote support screen share session which I ended as they weren't addressing the question but started to look in various folders and looked like they were just guessing at an answer.  The question seems fairly straight forward. How do I filter for non-Smart Preview photos in the Adobe cloud so that I can delete them? It would seem this filter has been removed to drive customers to higher tier cloud pl

I have been unable to import any photos to lightroom classic and would like to know if anyone has resolved a similar problem?  I can get all the way through the import box, click 'import' and then it looks like my files are importing but the screen just displays 'importing...' for hours without actually bringing any photos into lightroom classic. I have both my MacBook Pro and Lightroom Classic updated to the latest software and have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Lightroom. All of my permissions for lightroom classic are set to full drive access for my machine and hard drives. I'm a bit lost as to what to do next and have followed all the troubleshooting advice and conversed with pros currently working in lightroom classic without any progress. I would really appriciate any help resolving this issue.  The software is succesfully importing large JPEG files without any issues but gets stuck importing RAW files.  

My lens blur only works very occassionaly since updating and now almost never. It sometimes worked if I restarted but not any longer. Very frustrating.

I have created a number of custom print templates for specific projects, most of which were set up for my Canon Pro-1000 printer.  When that printer died, I replaced with a Pro-1100.  Somewhere along the way I deleted the Pro-1000 printer from my system (Windows 11).  Now, none of the custom Print Templates or Saved Prints are working.  They have all reverted to 8-1/2 x 11 pages (most were A3+), the cells are crushed together randomly, and the printer is set to a generic Brother printer attached to my system rather than the Pro-1100 that is also attached.  Setting the printer to the Pro-1100 and changing the paper size doesn't solve the problem or restore the correct Template settings.  I cannot reinstall the Pro-1000 as it is no longer available, and even if I could it doesn't seem like that would restore my print templates to what they were. I may be able to dig up an old Lightroom catalog backup that has the working Templates, but restoring that wo
