Lightroom ecosystem (Cloud-based)

Hi everyone, I am wondering if anyone else has had this issue. My lightroom has all of a sudden stopped being able to apply blur, detect subject for masking, and it crashes after 5 minutes of use. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. Anyone have any suggestions?

I have Lightroom premium for mobile and am properly signed in. When using a mask on portrait photography, "select people" is not an option. Anyone know why?

1). Version 8.42). Windows 103a). When using the remove tool, sometimes drawing multiple selections will make all previous selections disappear and you must restart.3b). When using the mask tool, when selecting to add or subtract from an already existing mask, it will always select "Add" even if your mouse is hovering over Subtract. P.S. I am so tired of dealing with countless bugs using this app when I pay $20 a month for it (PS bundle). These aren't the only bugs I've experienced, I've just been brought to sincere rage over using an app that can't work properly with a monthly subscription. I'm so tired of this Adobe. Lower your prices or compensate users for this ridiculous experience

The last week, I have had a horrible time with Lightroom, making my job ten times harder when I have to keep closing the program and reopening it.... and i have it updated ect. 

Sehr geehrtes Adobe-Team,ich habe ein Problem mit meinem früheren Adobe-Account. Während meiner Schulzeit hatte ich einen Schul-Account (vermutlich über eine Education-Lizenz meiner Schule) sowie einen persönlichen Account, die beide mit derselben E-Mail-Adresse verbunden waren.Ich habe damals in Lightroom viele Fotos bearbeitet und dort gespeichert – vermutlich in der Cloud meines Schul-Accounts.Mittlerweile existiert mein Schul-Account nicht mehr, und ich habe keinen Zugriff mehr auf diese Fotos und Presets.Ich möchte gern wissen, ob es eine Möglichkeit gibt, meine Fotos aus dem früheren Schul-Account wiederherzustellen oder herunterzuladen.Falls Sie dazu weitere Informationen benötigen (z. B. Name der Schule, E-Mail-Adresse oder Zeitraum der Nutzung), teile ich diese gerne mit.Vielen Dank im Voraus für Ihre Hilfe und Ihre Zeit!Mit freundlichen Grüßen

I shoot JPEG + RAW on my camera. For most shoots, I only want to import the JPEGs. On the iPad version of Lightroom, I can filter on the import screen to only show JPEGs. How can I do this on the OSX lightroom app?

Any star-ratings applied to RAF files coming from the new Fujifilm GFX100RF are not being recognized by Lightroom (nor Bridge). In-camera star ratings applied to GFX100RF JPG and HIF files are being imported recognized no problem.   I have tested with both uncompressed and compressed RAF files. No difference.   RAF files that were star-rated in-camera on my X100VI or X-T5 work properly; the ratings appear as expected in both Lr and Br. This problem only seems to happen with RAF files from the GFX100RF (for me).   As a sanity check, the star ratings are clearly visible in the RAF files using EXIFTOOL, Photo Mechanic, and FastRawViewer.I've tested this on the Mac, iPhone and iPad versions of Lr.      

I recently bought an ipad. I am loving editing my photos on it. It's brand new 512gb with only lightroom and photoshop downloaded onto it. However, I have had to reset some of my image's multiple times due to a problem stating "settings could not be loaded. The settings of this photo are too large for this device." I have changed multiple settings, and even stored the photo locally, waited for syncing to complete befor exiting the app. Spontaneously a few hours later it will not allow me to edit the image any further. I have restarted multiple images roughly 4 times now. I've tried waiting to talk to an agent online and have waited 3 hours before not eharing from anyone. How can I work around this or what do I need to do to fix? I understand it could be an adobe account setting or lightroom mobile setting, syncing issue. It's reached the point were it is costing me valuable time as I've had to edit the sam eimages multiple times.  This doesn't occur to all images, so I truly dont

Not able to add photos. Even if i try add photos in any other way it tell me to click the add photos button however it is grayed out. What is going on and how do i fix it?

I have an image exported on lightroom mobile I noticed did not look equal to my straight out of camera jpeg.  It was blurry.  I edited the raw file to match the jpeg and exported again and still not as sharp.  Then I tried exporting on desktop and sending to my phone on dropbox, and voila, the image is sharp!  Attached are two screenshots of the bird image, notice the eyes are more pixellated on one. Settings for mobile export:- Export as:- JPG, dimension 2395 pixels (same as cropped image), 100% quality.

Once I remove something (remove panel with AI generate), such as some fly-away hairs, the coloring isn't the same over the sky.  This happens mainly when I have a mask.  Even after AI updates are done (I go through each option/icon....edit, crop, remove, mask) with the hope it will show I need to update.  Sometimes it will update but still doesn't fix the problem..  It doesn't matter if its feathered or not.     I have tried removing the areas then applying a mask....still does it.  I will apply a mask and then remove...still does it.   I'm using Lightroom - cloud based. Please see attachment as an example.  

(MacOS) I'm about to lose my Adobe subscription (graduation) and mostly want to make sure that I don't lose my 15,000 photo library that I have in Lightroom. I have the storage to move it to either a cloud or an external hard drive, but I'm struggling to know the best way to go about it. What would be the best way to make sure I have a backup somewhere? Both catalog but also the actual photos. I'm also confused about where I can find my Lightroom library. I'm using Lightroom CC, and can't find my photo library in the Creative Cloud application. On the home page, under "recents" some photos show up, but I can't find the rest of them in the app. I thought I was supposed to be able to since the photos aren't being stored anywhere else on my computer?Sorry for the rambly post, two seperate questions/issues really. Thanks for your help.

Hallo Ihr Lieben, ich habe einen neuen Laptop. HP Envy Windows / 32GB RAM / 2 TB Speicher / Nividia GEFORCE RTX 4GB.Jedes Mal wenn ich Lightroom öffne frisst LR bereits mehr als 16 GB RAM. Sobald ich damit arbeite springt es auf 22-26 GB hoch. Auch läuft es nicht so flüssig wie ich es mir erhofft habe. Vorher hatte ich einen Acer Aspire 3 mit 16GB und 512 GB Speicher mit AMD Radeon. Da lief es teils genauso schnell wie jetzt. Speicher in LR läuft über die Cloud.  Habe schon die Einstellungen angepasst. Trotzdem läuft RAM voll sobald ich LR nutze. Woran kann das liegen. Es ist schon ein wenig deprimierend einen neuen - teuren Laptop zu kaufen und bei dem alten 300,- Euro Laptop läuft es teils genauso schnell 😕😕Treiber etc sind schon alle aktualisiert. Bin für jeden Tipp dankbar. LG Ela

Seit einiger Zeit werden bei mir in Lightroom nicht mehr alle Bilder angezeigt, die ich in Lightroom Classic in Sammlungen organisiert und synchronisiert habe. Das Löschen der Bilder in LR und neu synchronisieren hat keinen Erfolg gebracht. Was kann ich tun?

I've used Lightroom desktop for years. But for the last few years I've used my google pixel phone to take all my photos which are uploaded to google photos.  And therefore I find myself using LR less and less.  So, is there any way to use LR (either desktop or CC) to edit/manage photos on Google photos? It makes no sense to download my photos from google onto my PC. I don't want duplicate copies. Plus I  use both a desktop PC and a laptop. So I want a cloud based solution.  I do not want to edit photos on my phone. I want to use my PC or laptop. Does anything exist? Or is it time for me to leave Adobe behind and move on?

Remettez l'export de selection en fait, vousetes completement debiles ouuuu ? Qui exporte 1 par 1 ses photos ????

Gostaria de saber se tem como eu alterar o nome dos arquivos de fotos sem perder as coleções que eu fiz em um catálogo. Já fiz isso uma vez pelo próprio lightroom, mas perdi toda separação das fotos, tive que formatar o meu notebook esse fim de semana e quando reinstalei o programa perdi a alteração que fiz nas fotos e não quero ter que separar tudo novamente.

I can’t upload photos from my SSD drive to Lightroom Classic anymore since updating my Mac laptop. Does anyone know how to fix this? Lightroom especially freezes when I try to import large batches of photos.

Hello, This is a general knowledge question. I don't have a problem. I am just vwey curious. I have Lightroom Deektop on my iMac, Macbook Pro, iPad and iPhone. All have the latest OS. I know all my images, and their edits, are stored in the Cloud - which I love by the way, as I can see every change I make on all my devices. But - are the images and their edits also stored locally on each device? Thanks in advance.

Hi Adobe team, I’m on iPhone running iOS 18 with Lightroom Mobile v10.5.2. Edited videos refuse to export to the Photos app — they either stay stuck “syncing” or complete the export but never appear in Photos. Steps I’ve tried: Cleared cacheReinstalled LightroomVerified Photos permissions (“All Photos”)Toggled sync off/onTried exporting manually and through “Save to Device”  The only workaround that partially works is exporting to Files and then manually saving to Photos from there. Seems like this may be a known issue since the October update. Could you please confirm if a fix is coming or if there’s a stable version I can roll back to? Thank you!

I hope this all makes sense.  I've recently moved from using LR Classic, to LR Desktop and Mobile, so possibly I am not understanding something.  I've had chance to test this on both an iPad and a Mac, and it behaves the same way on both devices, but I don't think it is correct as I have to update every image...  Please see the Process below. This applies to both Lightroom Mobile on iPad, and Lightroom Desktop on a Mac:Lightroom Desktop v8.3.1 arm64 [ 20250505-2344-4fb7147 ] (May 5 2025) hardware: Macbook ProO/S: 15.5 (24F74)-----Lightroom Mobile v10.3.1.71F6C8/202hardware: iPad Pro M4 11 inchO/S: iPadOS 18.5 (22F76)-- Process (same on both devices):Option 1:1. Set up an import profile that will set all images to use color profile: Adaptive Color at 100%2. Import a batch of images (could be 1 image or more) using the import profile set up above.3. Select one of the imported images4. Select Edit 5. In Image Edit, it can be seen

I have 2.7TB of photos to download for backup.I launched the Lightroom Downloader, it found 150k photos, 1k videos.I began "download" and left it for the night. In the morning it was still @ "initializing download..." stage and nothing showed up on my drive. App suggests that something is being downloaded but I am not sure if it is correct. I've attached recording of the screen. Can someone confirm if this is how it should look like and all I need is wait another week or so for it to finish? Thanks.

Adobe Lightroom v8.5.1Windows 11 Professional (pre & post Win 11 OS 25H2 update) Nature of issue is diffcult to produce steps to reproduce consistently, however, impact of issue causing a lot of time lost due to repeating masking actions. Randomly seeing mask overlay disappear when doing complex adding/removing of masks, zooming in & out, etc..  After it disappears, switching overlay on/off, changing overlay color, opaque setting, affected or unaffected area settings doesn't bring it back.  Usually have to delete mask and start a new one OR guess where to apply remaining edits by changing mask settings in light/color/etc..  Former workaround can waste hours of time when editing across a series of images. Latter results in poorer quality editing tool capabilities which often lead to starting over.
