Lightroom Classic

I am confused. I have recently started using Lightroom as well as Lightroom Classic – which I have been using for ten years. I have all my photos on a 2TB SanDisk. There are a total of 46,618 photos taking up 742GB of space. When I use LR I can see all the photos. When I use LRC (latest version 15.0) I see just 38,508 photos. As an example I have three screen shots. The first shot shows the information on my SanDisk for the folder titled Angela poster2. The second screen shot shows LR and all the photos. The third screen shot show LRC and has just two shots. Why are there six shots missing in LRC? I have tried to import and I have synced – all to no avail. Can someone please help. I much prefer LRC and I do not understand what I am doing wrong.

Hello there!Recently I purchased an m4 macbook pro and generally im very pleased with the performance vs my windows machine but this thing is getting to really ruin the experience. When i switch between photos in the develop module it happens usually almsot instantly but sometimes it gets stuck and then it takes 3-4 seconds to do it. It shows in the thumbnails i switched but can only see the previous photo and no settings loaded. I have 30gb cache set up and these are 20MB jpegs so i feel soemthing is going wrong here. mac os 15.7.1

I have ~300 photos from an event that I need to export. I ran them through denoise. When I go to export them all, I get a message that some of them need AI update. OK, but it hangs up every damn time. So I try to select all - Photo -> Update AI Settings, but that option is grayed out, evidently because one or more files don't need AI Update...So right now I'm having to go through each file, one by one and updating AI. What was supposed to save time has now become a huge time suck. I'm working under a deadline and this is killing me.

In the Book module, when using image files stored on external drives that are connected after launching Lightroom, some of these files are incorrectly recognized as offline and the book export is failed. However, they are fully accessible and visible in the Library and Develop modules. To make the Book module recognize them correctly, I have to restart Lightroom with external drive connected. It would be great if this issue could be fixed.

I have imported a lot of scanned images into my library, mainly from 35mm negatives but also some 35mm slides and 110 negatives. I would like to create a smart collection for each type but haven't been able to figure out how.  I have used the "Source Type" field in the "IPTC Extension Administrative" metadata section to identify each type, e.g. "Digitised from a negative on film" and so on. However, I can't find a specific entry for "Source Type" anywhere in the Smart Collection settings but I've tried "Any searchable text", "Any searchable Metadata", "Searchable IPTC" but none of them seem to work. That suggests that the "Source Type" field is not searchable for some reason. Anybody got any ideas on where I'm going wrong?

Since I have updated to LRc 14.4, 14.5 as well as 15.0.1 my CPU (Intel i7 8900, 32 GB RAM, Win11) is running at 50 up to 100% load as soon as I switch from library to development mode, but only if I have activated AI-denoise function. Even when denoise is finished, the CPU is still running at about 50% constantly while the GPU is at 2-3% (Nvidia GTX 1070, 8 GB VRAM). Adobe recommends to apply AI-denoise at first step before all other development work. But when I follow this, my workflow from photo to photo is slowing down dramatically, impossible to work quickly. The only work-around I found is applying AI denoise as final step of my workflow. What could be the reason for this? Could you please help me to solve this problem?

  How to provide Full Disk Access on macOS Since macOS 10.14 (Mojave), Apple introduced a new privacy structure to help ensure that all applications obtain user consent before accessing documents, downloads, desktop, iCloud Drive, and network volumes. This has been reinforced in newer versions of macOS. This change prevents unauthorized access to user files and folders. When Full Disk access & Accessibility permissions are needed, users may be asked to or be required to change the setting in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Full Disk Access for Lightroom Classic manually.   While for the File & Folders access, the user is prompted to allow or deny when needed.  Why provide full disk access to Lightroom Classic? Insufficient or broken permissions may restrict Lightroom Classic from functioning correctly and break your workflows. All tasks that require access to the computer's storage — importing/exporting images, cross-app workflows, reading/writing metadata,

Kun olen käsitellyt kuvat ja poistun Lightroomista ja painan back up symbolia, niin se aloittaa, mutta hetken päästä se lopettaa ja ilmiottaa ettei se löydä hakemaansa catalogia. Mahtaako tämä ongelma johtua siitä, että Google ei käynnistynyt toissa päivänä ja ilmoitti että uBlock Origin oli kaatunut. en saanut mistään ladattua sitä uudelleen, mutta sitten sain Googlen ladattua. Nyt sit Lightroomissa on tullut tällainen ongelma. Kuinkahan sen voisi selvittää?

Hello Team! I'm having an issue. When I do the first edit in Photomechanical 6, the label color doesn't transfer to Lightroom. Not sure what I should now. Any idea?  Btw, Lightroom has just been updated to the latest version.  Thanks in advance for any help! CAm 

I'm on a mac using Tahoe.I've given permissions for Lightroom Classic to have full disk access. I've added it to Accessibility, App Management. Under Files & Folders it says it has full disk access, but I'm still getting the error message.  Any ideas? 

AI Denoise does not work on my fairly new ASUS Zenbook Pro 17. The best results are images that are interfered by small colored squares randomly placed in the dng. (I enclose an example image.) But most of the time AI denoising stops processing, giving out an "unknown error", followed by the "GPU Error" ("The graphics processor has encountered an unrecoverable error. ...") I tried to deactivate GPU support by default, but then AI denoise does not work at all.When I activate GPU support by default, it crashes all time.When I set it to Auto, it crashes most time, but sometimes it works - but with the small color patterns in the dng-results.I also changed the settings of the AMD radeon to "Gaming performance" (= full power) after updating the driver. Any ideas what else could solve the problem?Or is the up-to-date AMD Radeon Graphics just to weak for the new denoise feature? That would be upsetting, because the Laptop is only 4 months old and i bought it especially for picture e

After last update, Lr work as sh... First of all switching beteween photos takes ages. It's completly unworkable in meaning of professional edit. When changes as lens blur its visible only when comare to other picture. I'm using this program professionally almost 10 years and never worked as bad as this time. Is any chance to step back before this update?  My iOS is Sequoia 15.6.1 working on mac Studio 2024    

Upgraded to Windows 11 which knocked out LRC. The program is running now but folders with previews I delivered are gone. All pictures are on an external hard drive and fine but I really don't want to start them all over that I did previews. How do I locate? 

Hi, I have a performance issue.  My workflow is that I add new images to LR via my iPad LR.  It uploads the images to the creative cloud just fine.  When back to my desktop, I open my (Win 11) LR classic, and it starts downloading images from creative cloud to my main catalog.  The issue is, this downloading now appears "throttled" to only 5 images every 30 seconds.  For 1000 images that's about 1h 40 minutes.  It used to be faster, mainly limited by actual network bandwith capacity. Thoughts on my current setup:my network connection is a 1 Gb connection, and every other program I use gets to benefit from its full speed, no problem.  And even LR downloads those 5 images like in one second as a burst.  Then it just waits, no network traffic (from LR anyway) until the 30 secs fill up and it downloads the next batch.  I have observed this visually with windows task manager showing network traffic.My disks are SSD, many Gbs per second,

Bonjour, Quelqu'un serait-il m'expliquer pourquoi dans lightroom classic un paramètre prédéfini s'intègre automatiquement dans l'historique ? Quand je bascule de la bibliothèque au module développement, le paramètre grain élevé s'applique automatiquement à mes photos ? Merci d'avance pour votre aideFabien

I Use Flickr for sharing and posting my photos, directly from lightroom. When I go to publish photos, I occasionally get photos which have been 'updated/modified' but I haven't toched them. Why is this? 

So I thinking of switching from PS to LR for making my panoramas, mostly due to the fact that LR is non-destructive to photos. For those who have been doing their panos in LR for some time, do you apply any settings to your individual photos before merging into a pano (eg. sharpening) or is merging into a pano the 1st step in your workflow?  cheers

Hi All, I've updated to the latest version of Adobe Lightroom Classic. When I swap to different tools (mask, crop, Develop), a box shows up at the bottom that I'm calling "Subtitles" because I have no idea what they are called. How do I turn it off?  Below is an image of what I'm talking about. 

Hi,   Since just now, I've been experiencing a weird bug / crash in Lightroom Classic (on a Mac), where ALL my photos suddenly are fully covered in artefacts in the Develop module.   (Screengrab from the Develop module in Lightroom Classic)   When I check the linked RAW + JPEG source files in Finder, they all seem ok (they don't look corrupted, nor show any artefacts here), meaning the issue is within Lightroom.   (Screengrab from the RAW source file in Finder)   When I export images out of Lightroom (with any setting, edited or even not edited), the artefacts are also present on the export files.   (Screengrab from the exported JPG image)   This problem started occuring soon after I applied the new AI noise reduction feature on just ONE (1) photo.    I already tried:   Closing and re-opening Lightroom Shutting down (fully), and restarting the computer after 1 minute Switching the GPU accelrator setting in Lightroom on/off MY

What in the heck is happenning with the new LR upgrade?  It crashes after I sync two to three images and I can't "unflag" a flagged image by using the u button?!!!  It just angrily beeps at me...Anyone else experiencing this?!

Hi!  I have a LR catalogue (saved on an external hard drive) that opens on my laptop but when opened in LR on my desktop says files cannot be found.  Both LR are up to date.  I have done this multiple times where I edit on both devides and this is the first time I've had this issue.  Not quite sure why it won't open on the desk top!  Any ideas?

Hi all- I am brand new to LR and have successfully downloaded all of my pictures to LR only to find that they are all blurry/pixelated when viewing in the main window of my library, which renders them useless to me.  Any suggestions on how to fix this or why this might be happening?  I have the latest version of LR CC and Windows 10.Thank you for any help you can offer!

In the print module of LR Classic ver 14.5.1, when I check the box "Identity Plate", nothing shows up in the viewer box below it and at the same time my rulers disapear from the top and left side of the editing area. I can right click in the Identity Plate viewer box and my edited plates list shows and I can choose any of them but nothing shows up. If I uncheck the "Identity Plate" option, the rulers come back.  Is this a new bug? I have used Lightroom since version 1 or 2. I'm on an updated PC running Windows 11. I have closed/ opened Lightroom, also updated, several times. I have rebooted the PC a few times.  This just happened for the first time today after the latest LrC update. Thanks everyone!

Hello All, First time posting on this forum. I'm not sure when this happened, but lately (and most notably) since the AI Denoise was introduced, all of my images have excessive noise in them.  I shoot with a Nikon D850 and Nikon Z8 so the sensor is well adapted to not introduce noise.  I just finished a shoot at an outdoor event with plenty of sunshine and the shadows seem to have excessive noise.  Certainly I can run the AI Denoise feature (which works fantastic), but when selecting multiple images to run it, it becomes painfully slow.  Has anybody else noticed this and is there a fix when importing?
