Lightroom ecosystem (Cloud-based)

Hi,I’m experiencing a persistent issue with Lightroom on my iPad and would appreciate help from the community or an Adobe engineer. Setup:iPad with M1 chip, iPadOS (latest) Lightroom mobile, latest version 70 GB local-only catalog — photos were never synced to Adobe cloud ~40 GB free storage on iPad The issue:Lightroom loads and shows my complete folder structure with correct image counts, but the images themselves never load. The right panel is completely blank with a permanent loading circle regardless of how long I wait (tested over an hour). Tapping into individual folders makes no difference. Local storage in settings shows “calculating…” indefinitely. What I’ve tried:Full delete and clean reinstall of the app Deleting Managed Catalog.mcat-shm, .mcat-wal via iMazing Deleting Managed Catalog.wfindex and its WAL/SHM files Deleting the blobs folder SQLite3 integrity check on .mcat → ok SQLite3 WAL checkpoint → 0|0|0 (clean) Testing in airplane mode Logging out and back into Adobe acc

I have upgraded Lightroom to 9.2 and was testing the generative upscale feature.  It goes through all the right windows and progress bars.  But when I check the new DNG photo, it has not been upsized.  I have tried raw and jpg files, I have tired different size files to upscale (from 500k to 6mb) and all act the same way.  The itching the process, it appears to be working but when I check the new generated files there is now size/resolution increase.  I am VERY familiar with Lightroom and this is just confounding me.I have restarted LR several times, rebooted several times.  Still it persists. MacBook ProMacOS TahoeM3PLUS36gb ram 

I have 20GB in my plan. I do NOT use it. But somehow 21.1 GB got into cloud storage and I get all these messages asking me to upgrade my plan. The problem is that I have tracked down about 10 GB of files and deleted them but there are 12 GB than I cannot find. I just want them deleted or the cloud storage whacked, eliminated, disposed of, terminated, as it is a useless piece of garbage as far as my use goes (I backup all to HD or external) Short of closing the account permanently, is there a solution? 

Lightroom CC gets stuck while trying to import a user preset created on Spyder Checkr, and the Create Preset option is disabled.   Importing presets from the Preset panel - Import Preset or from File - Import profiles & presets results in the same scenario, Lightroom stuck in the stage of Importing/Loading presets. The option of Reset Hidden Presets in the Presets panel is also disabled, and cannot be clicked.   Version of Lightroom CC: Lightroom version: 8.5 x64 [ 20250805-2023-ec91a85 ] (Aug 5 2025) Platform and OS version: macOS / OS Version: macOS 15.5 (24F74)

Ik werk op een 27 “ iMac met Tahoe 26.3. Lightroom versie 9.2.Tot voor kort exporteerde ik een bewerkte foto en zag dan in het exportscherm, de laatst gebruikte bestandsnaam. BV “65OA4605 - Kolgans” Om de nieuwe foto te benoemen moest ik dan het laatste cijfer aanpassen en bv. Brandgans typen.Na de laatste update krijg ik ieder keer “NAAMLOOS” te zien ipv de laatst gebruikte bestandsnaam.En moet vervolgens na iedere bewerking alle gegevens opnieuw intypen.Vervelend daarbij is dat je bij het exporteren niet de bestandsnaam van de bewerkte foto in beeld heb.Klik ik bij bestandsnaamgeving op ORIGINEEL ben ik mijn ingevoerde tekst weer kwijt.

I have used the LrC cloud based on my phone for a while due to not having computer. Now that I have a laptop, I noticed that it is low on space due to sync photos.I have also bought a compute and a 12 tb external hard drive and have followed the instructions on a subsequent topic for backing up my files to the external hard drive. Required space and programs not able to open the program, I have Windows 10; have me researching how to resolve this issue, so I can used the program to edit, for which I have yet to do.Thank you, gratefully,MIM

Hello, I'm creating photo series for photo booths and I need to stay within Lightroom to manage the flow of automatically captured images. I need a plugin for Lightroom Classic that allows me to automatically apply background transparency and apply an image that I load to the background of a series of images in print mode.

Lightroom has not updated to 9.2 and I dont have the option to update in help

Hello, I am having problems with Lightroom mobile. My cloud is constantly synchronizing on mobile app (iOS) - not having any sync issues listed and having more than enough cloud storage. Also when I am editing on web/desktop version my edits will not save, I am guessing that is because of the bugged syncing. I am signed in on both devices with the same Adobe account. I tried logging out both from mobile app, web and desktop version as well as reinstalling the app so I am sure it is up to date which solved the 4 pending photos to sync I had, but when I tried editing a photo again the same issue occurred - I am still not able to save my edits and it is constantly synchronizing. Can this be solved? Regards,Tea

I’m so confused. I got a new mac, macOS Sequoia (version 15). On my last mac, the lightroom app looked completely different and there was a local and cloud option. On this new version, I only have a cloud option. I don’t want to upload photos every time that I edit them. Am I missing something? I already went into my settings and give the app full disk access, but that didn’t change anything. This is what it looks like. I miss being able to just edit photos that are on my desktop without uploading, how do I get that back?!?! I feel dumb, and can’t find an answer that helps anywhere lol. Thank you!!  

Hi. I may be having a 'senior moment' here but I am confused why my version of LR on my Mac desktop looks different to any pro videos I watch. For starters I don't see my 'Library, Develop, Map....' etc in the top right hand of the screen, in fact I can't find the develop tool anywhere! I leaning roward the fact I have a different version of LR. I have searched for LR classic on the app store to no avail, just LR. I've attached a pic of my MAC screen. Thanks. Al. 

I took some photos yesterday that needed a tight crop and upscale. The Generative upscale was working fine yesterday, then out of the blue it stopped working. Will not work on Photoshop, or Lightroom, both Topaz and Firefly.I am on a Mac with plenty enough memory, 48gb, and plenty of disc space.Please let us know when you get a resolution to this issue!

I have been having a problem for several days with accessing and uploading photos to the cloud within the Lightroom Mobile app. I am using the mobile version of the app (latest Android version and latest app version), and the  new photos will not upload. I also cannot access the photos that have already been uploaded. I can see them and edit them, but I cannot export them (“couldn't complete export”).Steps I have tried:I reinstalled the app, cleared the cache, and tried using the web version of the app on my computer, where it allows me to edit and export the photo, but that edit does not upload to the cloud, so I cannot see it on other devices. I have active subscription till 10/2026. I use app everyday so I it real problem for me. 

Filter auto+:retro isn’t working anymore after last update. None of any filter inside category is selectable, and can’t apply. Others filters are working, just this isn’t anymore.

Avec l’ancien l’ancien Lightroom, je traitais mes images et lors de l’enregistrement je pouvais renommer le fichier .jpg tout en conservant le nom de fichier (appelé chez vous : nom de fichier conservé).

I want hoodie so I can design my own hoodie for my business  

Twist the picture to orignal. 

Lightroom keeps randomly closing out and the "AI settings" for photos like lens blur or whatever. And the app just errors out and closes! I pay $12 A MONTH for this app and i'm going to swith if it keeps happening. 

As fotos que mando pro aplicativo estão demorando muito pra baixar na nuvem. Elas estão demorando muito pra carregar. As pastas que tenho compartilhadas demoram pra aparecer para as pessoa a que tem acesso com a pasta. As vezes para de carregar também 

I’m not sure if this is a LR or a PS question.  When I attempt to export a photo to PS (v27.4.0) from LrC (v15.2) using the CMD E command I get an error message. On the LrC screen a small window opens with a PS on top, saying that a component is missing in Applications and the program should be reinstalled. I have done this but no help. I can manually open PS and use the File/open command. With PS already open, sometimes the CMD E command works and sometimes not. Does anyone have a fix for this?Thanks. 

Lightroom and Photoshop needed to be updated and now I get this error when trying to open multiple photos from LR in PS  

I have recently had to change my Google Password and the passkey I had for the email function now (of course) no longer works. I have tried all sorts of help listings but none of them seem to be upto date with the latest google information. It keeps showing ensure 2 step, then “signing in to google” “select app passwords” neither of which seem to exist in my versions. Any help please. 

I’ve edited CR3 files in my lightroom classic (version 14.5.2) in the past, but now when I try importing them in, it says “Preview Unavailable For This File” and then when I hit import it says “the files seem to be unsupported or damaged”. The files are not damaged, they are working perfectly in my other programs. I also tried other files from a different SD card and got the same results, but I can see other CR3 files that I had already edited and imported in September (that were taken on the same SD card that I’m using just in the past). I can’t update my Lightroom Classic since my iMac is on Ventura 13.7.8. Why could I edit CR3 files in the past, but not anymore? What can I do to fix this? This is so frustrating that it’s worked in the past, but not anymore.

After Google KeyPass was enabled for authentication, all requests started to return 401/403 errors, and now it is impossible to save or download files.
