Lightroom Classic

Since updating to latest version 15.3 I cannot use my presets or update AI edits.When I try I get a box appear saying I am downloading AI models. This gets to 99% then stops. Then when I try to use presets or update the AI edits I get a red box that says ‘some Ai models failed to download. Please try again later.This has been going on since yesterday. I have tried uninstalling LR and reverting to previous version but problem persists.  Any ideas?  

This post applies to Camera Raw and Lightroom Classic. Dust Removal is no longer in Early Access status and can be found in the Remove edit panel for Camera Raw & Lightroom Classic. Dust Removal helps remove distracting spots in an image that may be caused by dust on a camera's sensor and is also effective on dust on the rear lens element. Once enabled, your image will be scanned, and any detected dust spots will be automatically removed using Content-Aware Remove. For refinement, you can select one or multiple spots to delete or refresh. Batch removal is also supported; simply select the "Dust" checkbox under "Remove" in the copy settings dialog.Please note that scanned negatives are not in the scope of this feature at this time.  Dust spots on scans tend to be located in the focal plane, with the negative and very sharp, while sensor dust is typically positioned out of the focal plane and therefore not in focus. Scanned negative dust typically appears as white spots on a darker b

Having a photograph with people in it—whether in any location, close-up, background, etc.—when I try to apply a mask to detect people, the program tells me that “no people were found”, and therefore it doesn't generate the mask. This started happening after the latest updates, though I'm not entirely sure since I don't use that feature very often.

Prior to around 10:00 am  today, I could right click an image I was editing in Lightroom Classic and select "Edit In" and then "Edit in Adobe Photoshop 2026..." and it would open  Photoshop 2026, if one wasn't already open, and then open a TIFF called "<image filename>-Edit.tif" with all my Lightroom edits. It was working this morning, but now suddenly when I right click the image in Lightroom Classic and select "Edit in"and then "Edit in Adobe Photoshop 2026..." it will open Photoshop 2026 but will not open the file...it just stops at the Photoshop Recent File list.  I have tried all of these:1. Checking for updates. Non available.  I’m all up to date.2. Trying through the top menu: Photo>Edit in> Edit in Adobe Photoshop 2026...” but that didn’t work.3. Restarting my computer. That didn’t work.3. Uninstalling both Photoshop and Lighroom, restarting my computer, and then reinstalling Photshop first and Lightroom second.  I did it twice: once keeping all of the plugins on my

File raw di Nikon. Computer Apple M4 pro quando applico la riduzione disturbo da giorni mi esce la dicitura:  la modifica è temporaneamente non disponibile e la riduzione del disturbo è minima e non corretta. Inoltre quando voglio trasferire la fotografia da Lightroom a Photoshop con PHOTO MODIFICA IN PHOTOSHOP la fotografia non passa in photoshop

I just discovered something weird that in over 15 years of using Lightroom Classic (and it's several other names over the years) I have never seen before.  I have 165k photos imported into my catalog.  I have a photo with the name DSC01885.ARW and a virtual copy of it.  When I sort the photos by capture time they are separated by several photos.  Looking carefully at the times of the photos I see the several photos were taken at 12:52:09 to 12:52:47 on 2009/12/23.  Here is the order they appear in grid view when sorted by capture time:DSC01885.ARW 12:52:47DSC01882.ARW 12:52:09DSC01883.ARW 12:52:31DSC01884.ARW 12:52:46DSC01885.ARW 12:52:47 (virtual copy)When I sort the photos by file name they are not next to each other either.  They appear separated by several photos.Weird.  Any ideas?Mac version.  Backup function performed on every exit daily.

This post applies to Lightroom Classic and the Lightroom Ecosystem products. Camera Raw feedback can be found here.   Generative Remove makes it easier to remove unwanted objects and distractions with a simple gesture, even on complex backgrounds. For more accurate results, be sure to include the object's shadow in your selection and/or expand its size.    Detect Objects uses AI to find the objects underneath a brushed area. The masked areas will now appear larger than the Early Access version of this feature. You can also circle objects for quicker selection now.    We have also updated the spot selection experience to make it easier to manage variations, switch the fill type, refine the selection area, or re-generate as needed.    Batch updating is also now supported for Generative Remove spots.    Try out the latest updates and share your feedback with us here.

Hello,Hopefully I can explain this so it makes sense. I inadvertently deleted stored photos from my computer, however, I have the memory card that still has the photos. Can I direct LRC to those photos? Do I need to import them again and when I do will I lose all my edits?Thanks for the help.

I have issue where lightroom won’t open  I have tried unintalling and re installing it fresh but not opening 

Ich habe Luminar AI unter mac OS deinstalliert. Es taucht in Lightroom Classic (Version 15.6) unter "Bearbeiten in" aber weiterhin auf, selbst wenn ich es in "Externe Bearbeitung" lösche!

New user - LRC 15.6 imports Ricoh GRlllX DNG files as B&W even though Preferences in LRC are set for Adobe Color?How do I change to get my imports in Adobe Color?

A small but very welcome feature, but this version is very crashy on Windows 11 - in a way it’s never been for me.

Då och då filmar jag med min Iphone 15 pro max och mobilen skapar då en format som heter .mov. Detta format klarar inte Lightroom Classic vers. 15.6 att öppna och spela upp. Jag tvingas därför använda programmet HandBrake för att konvertera filerna från .mov till .mp4 format. Då fungerar uppspelningen i Lightroom Classic.Varför klarar inte programmet  uppspelning av .mov filerna?

I’d like the ability to be able to choose to export the current highlighted photo, when I have multiple selected.An example of where this is particularly useful to me, is when I’m looking through face detection photos and selecting all photos of a person to look through. These photos usually span 20+ years in my line of work, and are in multiple folders - once I find a photo I like, I want to edit and export that single photo, without having to deselect everything, exporting and then going back into face detect, selecting all the photos and starting the process again.Thanks!Matt

MacIntosh System 15,6.1 I had to change the credit card associated with my account as the old card had expired. I checked the account information and the new card seems to have been applied. Now, when I try to open Lightroom Classic, it won’t open and a screen asking me to either open an account (new) or start a free trial. My email does appear in the window.  How do I resolve this problem and use Lightroom Classic again. 

I need help escalating a support request. Adobe’s virtual assistant repeatedly says it will connect me with a human advisor, but no agent ever joins and the chat eventually resets.I have an unresolved billing/subscription issue and need a case number plus a real billing specialist. I only need Photoshop and Lightroom, and I do not want my Photography plan interrupted while the account is reviewed.Can an Adobe employee or community manager advise the reliable route to open or escalate a billing case when the signed-in chat queue does not connect? I can provide case details privately to an Adobe representative.I will not post account, payment, or order details here.

I use LRc to edit B7W photos.  When using Select Sky mask LRc invariably selects parts of buildings and begitation that border the sky. I can remove these with the Subtract option for the mask, but it is an extra workflow step that I would like to avoid.  Is there any fix that Adobe is planning?

I experience sync issues in Lightroom Classic for some photos when I add them to a Collection that is synched to the cloud. Only photos that contain Generative AI remove operations are affected. The photos were edited before attempting to add them to a synched collection.I am running Lightroom Classic 15.5.1 on an M4 Pro Mac mini that runs MacOS 26.7.I have found a partial workaround, but it is slow and time consuming. The affected photos appear in the Sync Errors group in the Catalog area at the top of the LH panel. For each of the affected photos, I have to regenerate all of the Removal objects to completely regenerate the data; I have to select each removal object individually to regenerate because there is no bulk operation for a photo. On some photos this may additionally have consequences for masks and I often have to also refresh the masks.Regenerating the AI removal objects does not by itself immediately fix the sync - Lightroom remains stuck. For the sync to complete, I need t

Adobe Lightroom Classic 15.5 import problem on Windows 11Hi Adobe team and Lightroom Classic users,I’m experiencing a serious import problem with Lightroom Classic 15.5 on my Windows PC, and this only started happening recently.System: OS: Windows 11 Pro 25H2 Lightroom Classic: 15.5 Catalog: Tested with both my current catalog and an older catalog Photos: Sony ARW RAW files Import: Using Add Storage: Tested from different physical drives Problem:Lightroom can see and read the photos normally in the Import dialog. For example, I can select 1,446 ARW files and Lightroom correctly displays all the thumbnails and recognizes the files.However, when I click Import, the import progress bar only runs for around 2 to 3 seconds and then disappears.After that, Lightroom returns to the Library and shows:All Photographs: 0None of the photos are added to the catalog.This is happening even when I try importing only a few photos.What I have already tried: Tested the original photo drive Mo

It works fine for a few days and then won’t open.  Task Manager says it is running but I see nothing.  What gives?I should mention my catalog is huge … don’t know if that has anything to do with it.

Select Subject in Lightroom Classic has suddenly become significantly slower on my PC. It previously worked much faster on the same hardware (2-3 sek).System: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 12 GB, 32 GB RAM, Windows 11.Tests with the same images:Lightroom Classic 15.5: 13–14 sec Lightroom Classic 14.5.1, completely new catalog: 7–11 sec Lightroom 15.5 with GPU disabled: 14–18 secLightroom recognizes the RTX 5070 and reports full graphics acceleration. However, GPU utilization appears very low during Select Subject.Since the problem also occurs with a new catalog and different Lightroom versions, it does not appear to be catalog-specific.Around two weeks ago, Select Subject was considerably faster on this same computer.Could you please advise whether this is a known issue or help identify what may have changed?

Have been having a lot of crashes with LRc 15.4.1 for a week or so. Currently the situation is so bad, that moving from library to dev the app crashes every time. I’ve been sending a lot of crash reports. I’ve also tested multiple files from different cameras over past 20 years, the issue stays.I’ve also tested downgrading LRc, issue doesn’t go away. I also tested the other Lightroom, Photoshop, Bridge and Bridge (beta) - all crashing equally the same, when changing to dev/edit or in case of bridge an ps, just opening any raw file. This suggests that the problem is somewhere in Adobe shared runtime stack that is used by all of the apps. I also repaired Creative Cloud installation, no help. Files can be opened just fine in any other capable app. I created new catalogs to see if it was catalog corruption, but it is not. I have gone through all the usual Windows error checkings, sfc, dism, chkdsk, even the memory check. no problems there. All my other apps and even games work fine. Window

 ​@Anshul_Saini I am still experiencing this on 15.6.I have Assisted Culling enabled on my library, there are ~120k images left to process. Memory is not being released, and Lightroom will keep eating it until it crashes. There is no reason why it would need in excess of 20GB to process a queue.
