Lightroom ecosystem (Cloud-based)

Description of Issue The Expected Result: In previous versions of Lightroom Cloud, when working in Edit mode, I was able to Tab from one edit setting field to the next; e.g. from Exposure to Contrast to Highlights, etc. I was also able to Shift-Tab to go back up the settings list. The Actual Result: This is no longer available. Now, selecting Tab ‘enters’ the value (like selecting ‘Return’). The second Tab closes the panel and a third Tab re-opens the panel. Lightroom Desktop Version Number: v9.2 20260217-0314 dfbaf86 Build OS Version Number: 26.1 on a 15” M4 MacBook Air 16GB ram Step-by-step Reproduction Instructions: see aboveI realize this may not be a “bug” but a known change in code. If that’s the case, please re-instate the former use of Tab / Shift Tab as it was far more helpful and powerful than wasting it on opening an closing panels.

I want to quit lightroom and download all photos from the Lr cloud. This has an -amazing- speed of 4GB per day! Which means 200 days of downloading before I have all my photos on my laptop. Uploading goes at a great speed. Downloading a single file, even large ones, is working fine as well, but this special function to download all files (via https://lightroom.adobe.com/lightroom-library-download) is obvious slow on purpose. Yes there is a mirror function, but this is a single file on my laptop. I want to use a script to compare it to my main storage to see if I miss any photo. I can’t use the library for this. Is there any other faster way or is Adobe really doing its utmost best to keep you a client by making it hard to exit?

Whenever I copy settings on a photo in local mode with AI masks and paste them to many photos, most masks will update to the photos, but some photos will have the masks from the previous image (not always the one I copied the settings from). Even if I delete the mask and manually add a mask, it still incorrectly masks to the previous image. The only workaround I found is to use heal tool on a spot of the mask then using the update AI prompt (which doesn’t prompt when the masks are wrong).This is only after the most recent update. I have restarted Lightroom and my laptop.

I updated Lightroom today to version 9. I go to edit a black and white negative, and the curve information is gone! It's just a gray mess with no information. I figure I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what, so any help is appreciated. I'm looking for the graph (?) where I could adjust the white and black points in the curve--there would be a bunch of lines that look like a mountain. Sorry for the low-tech explanation. Thanks!

I can’t uninstall Lightroom - it gets blocked - is it a bug / trojan??How do I uninstall? AI suggests downloading more Adobe trojans (Adobe Clean).I’m hesitant to have more of these rubbish programs on my device…I thought Adobe was legit.  Now I see it’s not. HELP.

ANROID LIGHTOOM MOBILE: Can't Post Photos Exported from LR Mobile to Instagram   Has anyone else had issues posting exported photos from Lightroom Mobile (Android) to Instagram? I have a Samsung S24 Ultra and have not been able to share edited images to Instagram since I got my phone a month ago or so. My work around has been to post edited photos to Facebook which works, then save that file back to my phone from Facebook, then upload that to Instagram.   I get a "Photo can't be posted" error every time regardless if I'm on cell or Wi-Fi.

This is my second time posting this bug months later as none of the comments were helpful. The only suggestion was to fully update Lightroom Cloud (I use cloud NOT classic) and upgrade my laptop. Both are fully upgraded.  I have been having an issue where when I copy a radial or linear mask and then attempt to paste it 3-5+ times, the entire app will freeze and I will have to restart it to be able to click anything/continue editing. This is frustrating as I just bought a really intense Macbook to make sure my editing (M4 Pro 48 GB memory) was as quick and seamless as possible. It’s that what is seemingly a bug is getting in my way with every shoot I do (I am very high volume, so this is really getting in my way). Does anyone know how to resolve this? Version of the LR Cloud app9.2 (Fully upgraded as available) Platform and OS versionM4 Pro, Tahoe 26.4 (Fully upgraded as available) Basic steps to reproduce the problemCopy mask and paste it 3-5+ times, sometimes it will take 10+ timesExp

I normally edit in LrC, and sync my edited files to the cloud, for display in Lr on my iPad & iPhone.  I needed to edit a photo taken with my phone, and needed the reflection removal tool, so I installed Lightroom Desktop on my MacBook, and proceeded to edit the photo in Lr Desktop.  Before I did, the photo had already synced to LrC on my Mac mini.  I completed the edit in Lr, which in addition to the remove tool included a couple of masks, and a crop.  When I opened the photo in LrC, the remove synced, as well as global adjustments, but none of the masked adjustments or the crop appeared.  When I reopened the photo in Lr, the masks and crop were also gone.  I was able to use the Lr versions, to get back to my final edit.  Now how do I make that final edit appear in LrC, without re-editing the photo there?

Hello! Ever since I changed phones, I’m no longer able to use the AI Denoise tool in the desktop version of the app. The legend calls out a non compatible photo format; However, the denoise option is available on the mobile version of lightroom. With that being said, denoise done on my phone does not sync with the desktop version, while all other settings do. This makes it unnecessarily complicated as I have to export out of my phone instead of doing the work directly on my desktop if I want to use images with Ai Denoise.I’ve tried a few steps, such as deleting the contents of the modelzoo folder, reinstall lightroom, and update video drivers with no positive effect. I’ve checked settings for my camera on the phone as well as within lightroom, but have found nothing that would directly affect AI Tools. Is there anything else I can do? This didn’t use to be so complicated as the feature worked directly out of the box in the past.

Hello,Since yesterday, when I want to zoom in on an image using my mouse wheel, I have to hold down the Alt key instead of the Ctrl key. Am I the only one experiencing this problem? Is this a new setting? Or is it simply a bug due to the Lightroom Cloud update?I should mention that on Friday I updated my PC to the latest Insider Dev version of Windows 11: https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2026/04/17/announcing-windows-11-insider-preview-build-26300-8276-dev-channel/ 

When the NVIDIA Control Panel option "Dedicate to graphics tasks" is enabled, Lightroom (Cloud-Based) crashes upon opening a photo for editing. The application launches normally and the crash does not occur immediately. It happens only after entering the editing module. Disabling "Dedicate to graphics tasks" resolves the issue. This behavior is not documented in Adobe or NVIDIA support resources. Tested Environments: Lightroom v8.5 Windows 10 and Windows 11 Multiple NVIDIA graphics cards tested

Hey, quick feedback on the masking feature - the “All People” option isn’t working properly. The buttons are greyed out, so I can’t actually create the mask.It’s also noticeably slowing down the whole editing process, which makes it pretty frustrating to use in a real workflow.Would be great to get this fixed ASAP - right now it’s blocking usability.

After completing photo editing, when I make adjustments to the crop (including aspect ratio or image dimensions), the image’s brightness and exposure values change unexpectedly.This issue occurs specifically when:Saving a crop adjustment, or Using the automatic horizon alignment toolAfter applying either of these, the image appears significantly altered, with exposure and brightness parameters visibly shifting, even though no changes were made to those settings.Expected behavior:Crop, aspect ratio, or alignment adjustments should not affect exposure or brightness settings.Actual behavior:The image brightness and overall exposure are drastically modified after confirming crop or auto-alignment changes.Device:iPhone 16 Pro MaxApp:Lightroom Mobile (iOS)Impact:This is a serious issue because it disrupts the editing workflow and forces re-adjustment of exposure settings after cropping.

Estoy experimentando un problema al intentar abrir Adobe Lightroom (aplicación de escritorio, no Lightroom Classic) en Windows. La aplicación no inicia correctamente. Al ejecutarla, se queda bloqueada en la pantalla de carga inicial y pasa a estado “No responde”. No llega a abrir la interfaz ni permite interactuar de ninguna forma.Pasos para reproducir el problema: abrir Adobe Lightroom desde Creative Cloud o acceso directo, esperar a que cargue y comprobar que la aplicación se queda congelada en la pantalla inicial sin responder.El comportamiento esperado es que la aplicación se inicie correctamente y permita trabajar con normalidad. El comportamiento actual es una pantalla de carga infinita, estado “No responde”, sin posibilidad de interactuar y obligando a forzar el cierre desde el administrador de tareas.He probado varias acciones sin éxito: reinstalar la aplicación, probar versiones anteriores, reiniciar el sistema, cerrar todos los procesos de Adobe en segundo plano e intentar el

Ik importeer een RAW foto in LRC van 7008x4672, bewerk hem en exporteer, zonder de foto te verkleinen, naar mijn map. Tijdens de export verkleint LR toch de foto tot 958x1437. Wat gaat hier fout?

Hello everyone,I have a question. Will Adobe Lightroom be released on Huawei devices? I know there are login issues, but a solution could be developed for this. On Huawei cameras, RAW shooting is available in DNG format, and as far as I know, DNG was developed by Adobe. I am currently using the Huawei Pura 80 Pro, and although its camera is excellent, I feel like I am missing out on Lightroom.The phone supports HDR and DNG, but when I try it in a different way, it says HDR is not supported on this device.I contacted Huawei, and they told me the issue is related to the developer. They said I can create a request list through AppGallery, which I did for Lightroom, but I believe you (the developers) could find a faster solution. Do you have any idea about this?Thank you in advance for your help and response. This is a translation.

Since this morning, my own presets on Lightroom takes ages to load on my PC. After the recommended presets that were not loading for a month and that you finally fixed, this is another issue. I’m really upset with you guys.

I primarily use LRC and sync all my photos through LR and LR Mobile. I want to “pull” all my photos from the cloud in the original resolution I uploaded them, not smart previews, so I can make proper backups. All my photos still appear (and are editable) on all 3 platforms but they appear to be smart preview quality.Is there any way to get the original DNG from servers or is the Adobe Cloud Sync not actually a real Cloud Sync system? Where it still depends on the files being present on one local source? What shows in LRC 

Accidentally deleted all photos in Lightroom.I deleted on one device and sync to all other devices, then all devices can’t see the photos. Any way to recover all deleted photos? I really need all the edit history and those photos.

Watch the video included in the post! After two weeks of using Lightroom Mobile on my new phone, this issue suddenly appeared. The flickering (happens after you press "before") only occurs on photos where Denoise AI has been used and photos without it work normally. Deleting and reinstalling the app temporarily fixes the problem, but it comes back once I close and reopen the app. Has anyone else experienced this issue?
