Lightroom ecosystem (Cloud-based)

Assisted Culling is now generally available in Lightroom  TL; DR: Assisted Culling has graduated from Early Access to General Availability. It gives you a fast, reviewable first pass on large shoots: it surfaces your strongest frames and sets aside the obvious rejects, so you spend less time comparing near-duplicates. You stay in control: review everything, adjust the thresholds, and override any call. If you tried it back in October 2025, it's substantially more accurate now, especially for wedding, event, group, and portrait work. We'd love for you to give it another look and tell us what you think in this thread. What it does Open an album or collection, run a cull, and Assisted Culling analyzes your images against the criteria you choose: Subject Sharpness, Eye Sharpness, Eyes Open, exposure, and more. It marks Selects and Rejects, shows you why behind every call, and leaves the final decision to you.  How far it's come since Early Access  February 2026: Expanded from individual po

Unable to log into my premium Lightroom account on my laptop 

Added a preset and my picture now has double exposure. i thought it glitched out and would go back but it hasn’t yet! 

Me salen mensajes en Lightroom indicando que “Tu almacenamiento está casi lleno. 19.7GB de 21 GB utilizado.Mirando en Creative Cloud Desktop en archivos solamente un archivo, no hay nada en proyectos ni en Bibliotecas y la papelera de eliminados está vacía.¿Como puedo recuperar la capacidad total de 21 GB.? 

I have Panasonic Lumix S9 and Lightroom on Samsung mobilephone. I use Lumix Lab to import raw files into mobilephone and thenI import raws into Lightroom. On Lumix Lab, On Samsung Gallery, on EXIF reader time is 8:48. But on Lightroom time is 9:48. So, one plus more. I live in Finland and we have that daylight savings stuff. Is that the reason LR shows time wrong but everything else shows it correctly? Nikon and Fujifilm raws are imported correctly.

So you know when you’re selecting subjects or people?That window…When I try selecting the people I dont want to mask, the time the app gives me to deselect subjects is too short, not just that, but I can’t go back and select who I want or dont want, that’s a huge issue.

Let's say I have finished color grading a specific photo, I then decide to use generative remove for whatever reason. Generative remove successfully removes the object I ask it to, but for some reason it also makes the photo brighter, seemingly increasing the highlights. This would be easy to fix if it was simply changing the sliders, you could simply paste the original grade to revert it. This is not the case, though, as the sliders remain at the same values prior to the removal, but the properties of the image visibly change. Adobe, please fix this as it has almost doubled my workflow duration and is unsustainable.

I don't have a question. I'm trying to leave feedback, and it keep bringing me here instead. My issue is,When I export a video file, it sometimes hangs and gets stuck exporting forever.

Lens Blur is not working, it says connecting to cloud and something went wrong. It doesnt work for any photos. Using android

A tela de onde importa as fotos, fica grande e nao aparece a parte de importar as imagens, só consigo selecionar e escolher a pastar . Mas nao importar os arquivos

Hello,I edited photos in local folders using Lightroom (not classic). As part of that editing process, I created duplicates of 12 images to have a black and white version and a color version (most other edits are the same).  I did this by right clicking on the image and clicking “Duplicate 1 photo”. (Create Virtual Copy or any other option is not possible)I am now trying to upload these 24 images (the “original” 12 in color and the “duplicated” 12 in B&W) to a folder in Lightroom Cloud - and I am receiving an error - “12 photos were not added for the following reasons - duplicate items within session”The 12 that won’t upload are the B&W versions (e.g. the color versions, the “originals” upload).  I have tried to change the time, change the flag color, etc. Nothing works. Is there anyway to fix this?Should I have done these “duplicate” edits some other way? Thanks in advance. 

Hello, I’m having an issue with Adobe Lightroom on my iPhone. I previously had a Lightroom subscription, but I cancelled it through the App Store. After cancelling the subscription, Lightroom is no longer opening properly and keeps asking me to take an action that I don’t understand. I have already deleted and reinstalled the app several times and restarted my iPhone, but the issue still continues. Could you please help me fix this issue? My Adobe ID is: [personal information removed by moderator]

Hello Adobe Lightroom Support,I am unable to install Adobe Lightroom Mobile on my Samsung Galaxy A13.Device details:• Model: Samsung Galaxy A13 (SM-A135F/DS)• Processor: Samsung Exynos 850• RAM: 4 GB• Storage: 64 GB• Android version: Android 14• One UI: 6.1• Google Play Protect: Device is certifiedWhen I open the official Adobe Lightroom app in Google Play Store, it says:“This app won't work for your device” / “Your device isn't compatible with this version.”I have already cleared the Google Play Store cache and data and restarted my phone, but the problem remains. Lightroom also does not appear in the Samsung Galaxy Store.According to Adobe's current Lightroom Android technical requirements, my device meets the minimum requirements: ARMv8 processor, 4 GB RAM, 32 GB storage, and Android 8.x or later.Could you please check why my Samsung Galaxy A13 (SM-A135F/DS) is being marked as incompatible and whether this compatibility restriction can be corrected?I specifically need Lightroom Mobi

After the April 2026 update, the search function seems to have (somehow) gotten worse. I know that the update says it addresses search problems but it seems to have broken things.In all of my photos in Lightroom, I identify people by name and put them into the captions. Prior to this, I could search lightroom and all of this person’s photos would show up. Suddenly I am getting the most BIZARRE results when searching people’s names. The name “Cait” brings back a ton of cat pictures for example - i guess it thinks i am looking for cats? Not everything needs AI. My entire workflow has been disrupted by this, does anyone know how to fix this?

Since I changed my phone, I can't connect to Lightroom Mobile. When I select connect with Adobe ID, it opens an Error Window : "bad_request Request parameters failed to meet all constraints". I'm on the last version of Lightroom 11.5.31 and the last version of Android 16 (August 5 2026).I can connect directly on Google, on account.adobe.com, but not on Lightroom Mobile. I already tried to uninstall the app.If anyone has an idea…Thanks by advance

We get so many questions about this I decided that an authoritative post would be helpful.    If you've purchased a subscription from a mobile app store, (e.g. Apple's App Store, the Google Play Store or the Samsung Store), the subscription is for mobile devices only. Running Lightroom Desktop on a PC or a Mac requires a specific subscription purchased for desktop computers.   The Desktop subscription includes access to the Mobile product but not vice-versa. Lightroom Web is included in all subscriptions. If you've purchased the incorrect subscription for your needs, or your needs have changed, please login here to update your plan: https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-lightroom.html After subscribing to the Ecosystem plan, you can decide whether to cancel your mobile-only plan. Hopefully this helps.     

Edit preview shows less red than exported JPG when GPU acceleration is on (Lightroom desktop 9.6,macOS 27.0.1, M3 Max)SummaryWith "Use Graphics Processor" turned on, the Edit view shows warm tones as noticeably less red and less saturated than the exported file.

Hello, I have got an issue. After sharing photos from Lightroom to my clients they are unable to download the images. Before sharing under settings I always enable "allow JPG downloads and export". I am using the latest vesion of Lr on an iMac macOS BIG Sur Version 11.6 Any advice would be very much appriciated. Thanks and regards, Zita

HeeeeyFor quite some time now, I’ve been getting the error “No retouchable areas could be found” when using the Retouch feature in Lightroom Mobile. I’ve restarted and updated my phone, deleted and reinstalled the app, and made sure everything is up to date, but the error still persists, even when there are clearly suitable areas in the photo that should be retouchable. 

Dear Adobe Team,please put an end to this ongoing AI obsession. Sure, AI-powered masks and dust spot removal are useful and popular, no question about it. But it feels like with every release of Lightroom, new AI features are added that are increasingly questionable. Is this still about photo editing, or is Lightroom’s new goal to become a program that uses AI to generate video or images?I’d much rather see you focus on bringing useful and missing features and options from Lightroom Classic over to Lightroom.For example, I'd like to have the option to automatically eject the memory card after importing, create my own export presets, display more EXIF data on the information page (exposure compensation, white balance, etc.), reset only a photo's edits without changing the crop I've made, and so on. There are certainly many great and useful ideas in the feature request thread.Thank you! A long-time Lightroom user.Best regards,Thomas

My lightroom app on my galaxy tablet is prompting me to restore my purchase. I have tried to do this but each time I do it is taking anything from 3 to over 15 minutes without success. I've signed out and in, cleared cache, powered off tablet etc, all the usual 'fixes' but nothing works?

I want to find specific images or groups/categories of images in my Lightroom cloud library. How do I add metadata to my images so I can find them more easily with search queries? Alternatively, how do I build search queries using the metadata available in Lightroom cloud-style library searches?
