Lightroom ecosystem (Cloud-based)

I shared a photo titled "Eastern Bluebird" with the community but it still says "This edit is still processing. Check back later". I have removed and attempted to re-share multiple times but the message persists. This has been happening for several days. I am able to share other photos with no problems.

I am using a MacBook Pro M2 with Sequoia 15.1.1. I have been using LR Desktop for about a year now. It has run perfectly. LR was automatically updated to 8.1. Unfortunately, now when I launch LR Desktop, the left side panel shows Favorites and Browse. When I click Browse, nothing happens. My external drives do not appear and I cannot select my photos. Sometimes I get a blue spinning circle. A couple of times after several minutes, the drives appeared. However, if I quit the application and launch again, the side screen is black again not showing any drives and not permitting me to Browse to find them. I also have the latest version of LR Classic and that finds my drives just fine. Is there any solution to LR 8.1? I no longer use Classic. 

The Lightroom app on both my iPhone and iPad is automatically adding hundreds of photos to an album even though I have "auto add" turned off. It's turned off on both my phone and my iPad.I have manually removed all the photos that didn't belong from the album only to have the app automatically add them again. I'd appreciate any help you could offer.

I keep getting the note "Some AI settings need to be recomputed" but when I try to update it fails every time, giving me the note "something went wrong". I can't use the Lens Blur feature, the Masking feature won't detect the subjects and gives me the "something went wrong" note, and most of my downloaded presets won't load on my photos. I can use the Lens Blur featue and Masking feature on my mobile device without this note and with no issues, but using my HP laptop with Windows 10, I keep having issues. I have uninstalled Lightroom and reinstalled it and nothing changed. Not sure what to do from here?

  I tried some photos I took today with my new SonyA1M2and opened the photos in the local folder (not the cloud). I was surprised that every time I had done some edits I got the message "lightroom cannot save edits to (name of the file) because it is read only, please change permission and try again or send it to the cloud" ????? What am I doing wrong? I first transferred the photos from my memory card to my PC in the specific folder with the name of the birds I took and opened them from there in LR

Hello, I have an active premium yearly subscription for Lightroom app, on an android phone (next payment date in Mar 2025, as shown in the google play store). Nevertheless, part of process of buying a new handset and transfering my apps to the new phone, i am unable to "restore my purchase". I get the next error message on my new phone: "the purchase found could not be restored, because i has been already been claimed".As suggested, i am logged in with the same account in both the lightroom and the google play store. The old handset went through a 'factory reset', all data has been erased. Thank you in advance for any advice.

I had bought the Lightroom premium monthly 40GB plan earlier this day and waited about 3 hours for it to update. Still it is not activated and unable to access the service. Is there something I am missing?

I generally process Canon CR2 files and then Export As jpeg to output files. I have been happy with the results, which reflect my Lightroom edits. Today, I processed some jpegs from a Fuji compact camera and again Exported As jpeg. I noticed that some of the Exported As jpegs were much darker than they appeared in my Lightroom app after editing. I have never noticed this before. I then saved the same files using Save To Device instead and this time they faithfully reflected my Lightroom edits. I don't understand the difference between these to output choices. What I do notice is that exporting my edits using Save To Device takes longer than Export As jpeg, however. Can anybody shed any light on my experience? Thanks.

WHen I am in Grid mode in LR Web, photos are overlayed with their name, size, resolution ... some metadata. It almost covers the photo entirely when vignettes are small. I can't see the photos clearly any more.I dont remember this was by default before, or perhaps you could remove it by pressing J several times.I cannot find where to hide those metadata in the various menus of LR Web. If my explanation is unclear, and you are more used to the LR app on iphone/ipad, this can be done by tapping 2 fingers several times, until no more information is displayed on the photos in the gris view). can someone help please? thxdan 

Previously after editing a picture when I went back to the album in Lightroom it would show two fingernails. One had a download arrow and the other one had a pencil. I discovered that the one with the pencil has always been the original and so I deleted those. Now, After editing pictures it is only showing the one with the pencil. When I tap on that it does open up with my edits. If I tell it to save to device it still does not show up with the download arrow.  I can't find the originals to delete any longer. I have looked on the device as well as in the Lightroom albums that are showing. As a secondary question, I am an amateur so don't need the originals after they are edited. Is there no way to simply overwrite the original?Thank you for your help.

Hi - my Lightroom Mobile no longer pulls up thumbnail previews for my overall library as well as for different albums. I've tried clearing the cache and disabling full resolution loading. Any suggestions?

Hi, I need to find out how much space I am using from my purchased storage, please. 

My cloud storage is almost full but I dont actually want to use cloud storage since I pay for extra Google Drive space and would prefer to just store photos there.  How can I stop using the cloud and just store them locally on Google Drive. I've read it's better to use Lightroom Classic for this? How would I transfer my photos to Classic? Also any other tips and tricks to keep your photo library smaller? 

Hi all, is something like this possible: 1) Take RAW/ProRAW photos on an iPhone, import them into LR mobile, develop them in LR mobile(I have this much sorted out) 2) Move the RAW/ProRAW photos along with their adjustment settings from the iPhone to my Mac running LR Classic -- but WITHOUT syncing them from LR mobile to Adobe's Cloud, then syncing from Adobe's Cloud to LR Classic on my Mac? I'm hoping to take better quality photos with the mobile on the go, but then keep everything centralized in my LR Classic -- and seems much better if I can do this: Developed photos on LR moble >>> Developed photos in LR Classic Rather than: Developed photos on LR moble>>> Adobe's Cloud >>> Developed photos in LR Classic Thanks for any suggestions!

Hello,since months I have the problem that I cannot use the masking tool anymore. The system shows an error: "an unexpected error occurs".  I have de-installed Lightroom and the creative cloud, have just re-installed everything, I have disabeled the GPU in the preferences, the drivers are the latest ones... Any help is much appreciated as I am really helpless with this issue.Thanks and best regards,Katrin ------ Here is the description of my system:Lightroom-Version: 8.1 x64 [ 20241205-0700-3674d7f ] (Dec 4 2024)NGL-Version: 1.39.0.9WF-Version: 7.1 8eff0d6VF-Version: 1.0.154HIL-Version: 40501CAI-Version: adobe_c2pa/0.9.3 c2pa-rs/0.31.0PH-Version: 5.0Betriebssystem: Windows 10Betriebssystemversion: Windows 10 Home (2009)Anwendungsarchitektur: x64Systemarchitektur: x64Computermodell: Acer Swift SF314-52G / Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7500U CPU @ 2.70GHzAnzahl logischer Prozessoren: 4Prozessorgeschwindigkeit: 2,9 GHzFür Lightroom verfügbarer phys.

On my Device tab in iOS app, I have to open a photo and then close it before it is marked with LR. In other words, Lightroom is not properly marking imported photos I have to take this extra step to determine whether photos have already been imported.
