Lightroom ecosystem (Cloud-based)

When trying to download Lightroom, I'm being told to complete the install , I have to update my Operating System to Windows 11 (version 21H2 or later). My operating system is Windows 11, version 23H2. How can I fix this?

As the title says I have a customer that is experiencing constant crashes in Lightroom ecosystem. It gets to "loading preferences" then closes to desktop. He is on Win 11. I checked the logs and there is nothing there. I reset then deleted preferences but it still happens. Uninstalled Lightroom eco, removed all traces of it on the PC, restarted the PC and then re-installed it but it still happens. There is nothing in the Event logs as well.

Would want to try but with free photo eraser

Hi friends, I have lightroom on my laptop as well as the app. I notice lately everytime I export my edits on my laptop the colours don't come out looking like they do in lightroom- it looks dull and flat. But if I export in the app, it's fine?How do I fix this please? It's driving me crazy. Example photo included.Thank you!

Hi there! I had creative cloud and lightroom on a personal account and have now migrated to a school account but an old client is asking to re-download her photos but I no longer have access to that personal account - is there anything that can be done? 

My company had been paying for my subscription to CC on my personal account where I was doing a lot of company work but also personal work with Lightroom. Thousands of company photos and tens of thousands of personal photos. A couple of years ago, CC made me move all my files to the cloud. It was all very confusing but I figured it worked. Anyways, fast forward to November 2024 - 3 months ago- and the company suddenly closed and we had about a 2 weeks notice. The next week, my plan was cancelled. Life was obviously in a flux so I didn't resubcribe to Lightroom (and Lightroom Classic that are now pacakged together) until today, January 22, 2025. Notably, my work previously had me on the full CC package.  Now, when I go into my Lightroom, it says there are no Cloud files. None at all. None that were deleted, zeros all around. So, my question is, will I ever be able to get my photos back or is my life's colletion of photography lost becase Adobe made me upload all my f

images are not in lightroom anylonger once Adobe LR updated. 

When using Lightroom Mobile I've always been able to import directly from the “Favorites” album on my iPhone. It made editing so much easier since I could quickly flag my best shots and import them in bulk.   Recently, I noticed this option is gone. The “Favorites” album doesn’t show up when I go to import photos. Has anyone else run into this? Is there a workaround or did Adobe quietly remove this feature?   If it’s gone for good it’s going to be such a pain to sift through my whole library. Hoping someone has some insight!   Thanks!   [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]

In the Photoshop Elements I used to simple right-click (windows) a photo in my catalog to copy it and then paste it into either an MS-Word, MS-Powerpoint or MS-Outlook document. The only copy-paste items I can see in Lightroom (Classic) are greyed-out. Is there a workaround other than exporting the photo(s)? 

Lightroom updated to where when you try to import and plug in your camera, it asks for permission for you camera. I didnt know what it was so I denied it and now it wont access my camera! How do I find how to grant access now? Really annoying to add that extra step in for no reason.  This is for DSLR camera, it isnt showing up on my privacy and settings but it shows up on image capture. Im unsure whats going on and really need the help to be able to import again! Thank you

good morning! I would like to know how to export a group of presets on an Android device. On iOS this is possible, but on Android there is no option to export groups of presets. I know this is possible, as there is a competitor of mine that provides groups of presets in .xml this way, but I can't find how to do this!

I exported some TIF photos locally to Cloud and edited them in both Lightroom Desktop Cloud and Lightroom Mobile for iPad.  After editing them, I clicked archive album locally...saved them back to the original local folder and selected the option to replace existing files.  Lightroom Desktop exported the TIF files to the local folder, deleting existing files and removed the Cloud Album and moved the TIF files to the deleted folder.   When I opened the exported TIF files in the local folder, it exported the original files that I imported WITHOUT the edits.  Is this the way this feature is supposed to work?  I would have expected it to archive an edited file or the original file with edits, as I understand it, Lightroom can export a TIF file with orginal file and the edits.  If not for the fact that Lightroom moved the edited files to the deleted folder so I was able to restore them back, I would have lost all my edits.    Please advise.  An a

Yo, Can you blur a license plate or face in LR?

I have been using Lightroom mobile on my ipad for years and photoshop as well. A feature i like is using the "edit in photoshop feature" when i am Lightroom.  It seems to have disappeared. Advice anyone? I have the basic subscription. I have an IPad Pro 11 third generation. Advice please.  I use this feature. I am travelling and not able to access my computer. 

have light room 8.1 can"t adjust the zoom level of just one thumb nail withot the program auto changing the remaining zoom size of all the other pics in that albu to the new pics zoom level.  

All the edits l have made are in the "Recent Edits" folder and l can't remove them. Also Lightroom keeps rearrainging my photos after an edit..... Help

Hallo,seit dem letzten Update (mit der KI Leiste) sieht man im normalen Barbeitungsfenster das Bild nicht mehr ganz.Es zentriert sich nicht in die Mitte der Arbeitsfläche. Erst wenn ich die Bearbeitungsleiste schließe, sehe ich das Bild im Vollbildmodus.Vor der KI Leiste hat sich das Bild immer mittig im Arbeitsbereich zentriert. Da ist sehr nervig, da man nur einen Teil des Bildes sieht. Verkleinere ich das Bild mit (command -) ist es dann zu klein.Mit der Bitte um Anpassung.Freundliche GrüsseStefan Donner

Dear everyoneI couldn't import any photos since opened Lightroom CCCouldn't found the way to fix this problemcould I ask why this problem happens?Thank you

Imagine this: You’ve just finished shooting a wedding or a real estate property, and you’re staring at hundreds of photos—all slightly crooked because your camera was tilted. Now, you’re stuck rotating each image one by one, clicking, adjusting, repeating. Sound familiar? It’s a tedious time-sink that kills creativity and productivity. That’s why Adobe Lightroom *needs* a batch rotate feature. With batch rotate, you could fix an entire set of misaligned photos in seconds, not hours. Select, rotate, done. It’s a no-brainer for photographers juggling tight deadlines or massive galleries. This isn’t just about convenience—it’s about respecting our time and letting us focus on the creative work that matters. Lightroom prides itself on being a powerhouse for photo editing, so why not eliminate this frustrating bottleneck? Batch rotate isn’t just a feature; it’s a game-changer. Adobe, let’s make it happen! (sorry for the ai generated text, but this should've been implemented eons a

Good day,  hopefully someone can assist.My Lightroom crashes as soon as it is open, or a few seconds afterwards.  I have turned the GPU accelerator off, I have uninstalled and re-installed it, I have run a diagnostic tool on my RAM and all my apps are up to date, including Lightroom.  It has been doing this for a few months now, but is worse the last month. I have seen a few suggestions for settings in Lightroom, but most of the time I cannot navigate in Lightroom because it crashes so quickly.

I"m a long time LR Classic user but I've been away from it for a couple of years.  Looking to jump back in with both feet, including a computer upgrade.  I might switch to LR Ecosystem. Big question:  what are hardware requirements between Classic and Desktop Cloud Mode?  Also, are there any workarounds for making full use of Sensei image seach in Classic?  I'm actually toying with the idea of copying .jpgs of entire library into a folder outside of LR just to enable access to the more robust AI search tools in iOS Photos or Google -- using that folder has a look up to direct me to the full res image from LR.    Any advice would be greatly appreciated  - Frank
