Lightroom ecosystem (Cloud-based)

Hi there, I bought myself a new iPad for the first time in 5 years, and launched Lightroom CC on it. At first things looked good, but then I started to see a new entry in the Recently Added list, for this exact time, for photos that are 20 years old.   It appears to be duplicating a large chunk of my Lightroom CC library, if not all of it.  And it's syncing them to the cloud, I can see those "recently added" photos on Lightroom CC on the desktop, too.  I remembered I could pause syncing, so did that, but how do I stop the madness? thanks,Michael H. 

I cancelled my lightroom subscription probably 2 years ago because I wasn't using it due to covid and my camera broke. I guess I never synced my photos anywhere, because I can't find them anywhere. I bought a subsription to Lightroom on mobile again to see my old photos (someone asked for a high res copy of one of my shots) and there were all my albums, but no photos. I opened lightroom on my computer, and there they were! At first, I wasn't able to download the full size files because lightroom couldn't find the originals. I saw that lightroom began a sync, and then 5 minutes later it's showing the same as my phone--all my albums are there, but photos says 0. I'm assuming the photos were stored on lightroom locally because my computer hadn't synced since Adobe deleted my photos, so when it finally did sync I lost everything. Did I screw up so bad I'll never see these photos again? How do I get them back if they do exist somewhere in the cloud?? Please help :'(

Hello team AdobeI can't download sky & subject features in my subscription Lightroom Fix it as per as soonPlease Thank you 

I have a brand new M1 Ultra with 64GB RAM, 20 cores, 48 GPU Cores.Yet LightRoom still will not support anythig beyond "Limited graphics acceleration".When Use Graphics proceesor is set to Auto, this is all it says.When I change to Custom, I see "Use GPU for Display" is checkmarked.The other two options; Use GPU for image processing and Use GPU for exportt are greyed out.From timed tests before and after the recent update with GPU accelerated export, I notice no difference in time to export 1000 images.  Both ran within a few seconds of each other.It seem other Apple M1 users have these options. How do I get them turned on?I called Adobe support, but I hate to say, Adobe simply does not know anything about their own products.I tear my hair out every time I have to call them.Hopefully someone here will have some helpful information.Thanks!

In the old lightroom, I used to be able to hover my mouse on my photo and see RGB levels. How can I do that in this new lightroom?  Thank you - 

Hi, I just got done with a shoot and had to get these photos done within a few days. I opened Lightroom CC (the latest version) and it shows the "Add Photos" button to be greyed out. I've looked everywhere but can't find a solution to this. I've tried reinstalling, installing older versions, signing in and out of Creative Cloud, and rebooting so far. The add/import photos button on the menu is also greyed out. If anyone could help, that would be fantastic! Thanks. Screenshot of the issue:

Hi: I was asking some questions earlier on this forum and got a 'private' response suggesting I email Adobecare@outlook.comThe response:"Hi,You can Directly send Email to our Customer Care Team at Adobecare@outlook.com and they will help you via Email.Team Adobe."When I responded, the reply, in slightly broken English, asked for my Adobe login email AND my password.Anyone on the forum met up with this?ThanksDonald

Hi all, I do most of my work in LrCC and want to be able to export two versions of everything when I'm done -- I want a small version for social media, and a full size (max 100MB) version for sending to my printer.  I'd like these assets to be automatically in the album with the orignals, and tagged appropriately. At present, I need to export to a file, then re-import and manually tag. Is there  a way to automate this process avoiding the export/import?

Hello! Im needing help with trying to organize my literally thousands of presets (no judgments please, I have realized i have too many) into groups i create within the preset folder in the module. The new version does not allow me to click and drag into groups i created, I cant just click on a menu and try to find the file explorer folder to be able to take a file that I could just click and drag into specific folders that I created in the preset folder, I have to literally right click on EACH PRESET then choose 'move to group' and choose. I cant sit here for HOURS upon DAYS to move all these?! please tell me theres an easier way to do this??

Hi there,Any way to implement an in-app account switch in Lightroom CC (cloud) that would allow switching between two accounts in a fraction of a second? I have a business account of all apps from my workplace and a personal account for my Lightroom CC (1TB) plan. The only way I can separate them (on a Mac) is through user switching which is extremely frustrating. Why isn't there a seamless option to switch between accounts?

As the title says, i found someone else's pictures in my lightroom on ipad when i was syncing with my mac version. These misterious shots are not present in the other devices, only the ipad. How so!?

Hey guys, I have clicked the free trial on Lightroom which has led to autorenewal of membership. Unfortunately Lightroom does not work on my PC. It only makes sense for me to cancel the subscription but I have to pay a cancellation fee. I do not think it is fair to pay cancellation fee since Lightroom is not working for me. Do let me know how i can escalate this issue to the concerned department or person. There is no proper customer service for Adobe. Calls are not being directed to the right source and chat assistance does not provide any valid suggestion.  Kindly help me.

Thank you: Yesterday's update destroyed hours of work. Who will pay me for this?I use the iPad Pro for most of my portrait retouching work. Yesterday evening the app was updated. I worked long hours after that. This morning I want to export the images on the Mac for the client, the update comes on the Mac as well. And as a result, all the edits in the cloud were overwritten again with the old status from the computer.HOW STUPID IS THAT?Also, the design of the repair tool on the iPad is much more cumbersome compared to the previous version. After each edited spot extra again adjust settings and click on Done? Are you serious? 

Since upgrading to Lightroom 6.0, Lightroom won't recognize the photos on my EOS R.  Tell me this will be fixed in the future.  It will drive me away from an otherwise very usefull program.I am using Windows 10.

New to this whole way of managing your photos.Trying to develop a work flow.Having difficulties understand the behaviour of cataloging on the iPad.I got the $10/mo package deal. I connect my memory card reader to the iPad to start the process. It is bad enough that I can not vet the images before I actually import them, I have import the whole thing.Once everything is inside the lightroom catalog, immediately without asking me, it tried to upload all those photos to the cloud, yet another process that I have to wait for before I could even get to see or work on the images... I stopped that real quick, so it is not synching, not sure how I managed that, but it is not synching anymore. First round through the photos, I reject eveything that looks out of focus or just plain bad. If it is something I want for sake keeping I rate it 3 stars, if it is something that I want to edit, I rate it 4 starts, and out of all the edited photos, the ones that are impressive enought to be

Hello 👋 Every time I add photos to lightroom (mobile) and then enter the app to attempt to do anything at all, after a few seconds,  the app freezes and eventually my phone displays an error message of "Lightroom isn't responding" Incredibly frustrating and limiting my creativity . I pay a subscription for premium. Thought it was poor Internet speed whilst away - definitely not. Latest app software. Anyone have any ideas why this is happening?Thank you, Lucy x 

Lightroom on my iPad tries to update and crashes after a minute How can I open it without deleting the app (it has pictures that are only backed up there)

Trying to develop a work flow in Lightroom for iPad. It is bad enough that I can not vet the images before I actually import them, I believe one should be allow to view and delete images before the transfer from memory card to iPad storage happens. Once everything is on the iPad and inside the Lightroom catalog, it immediately wants to upload all the images, the bad ones and the good ones to the limited 20GIG cloud space, another bad thing about this process, some how I managed to stop the sync and it has happen anymore. Now we are ready to work in Lightroom. First round through the photos, I rejected everything that looked out of focus or just plain bad. If it is something I want for sake keeping I rate it 3 stars, if it is something that I want to edit, I rate it 4 starts, and out of all the edited photos, the ones that really wowed me and ready to be shared, I will rate 5 stars. Here is my question... That reject feature is not that straight forward and it d

I want to edit a Lightroom file in Photoshop. For some files I see a menu option for Edit in Photoshop, but not for others. I'm on the most current release of both. Why can't I get that option for all files?

Hiya.I'm doing a fundraiser at Christmas and I thought I could offer taking pictures of families/children and changing the background to a Christmas scene.  I am expecting over 100 children.  I can take the photo on a green screen or a plain white background.  I have the design of the new background ready.  I have access to lightroom and premier pro.  Is there a way I can bulk change all images to the same background? Thanks in advance Oliver

Hello,I'm using Lightroom CC, and I don't want to store my files locally on my harddrive (because of space issues). How can I use Creative Cloud as actual cloud solution, instead of just a synching mechanism (with local storage)? Thanks!

I was using Lightroom Classic but decided to switch to Lightroom. What a mistake! Even though I have a very powerful machine (PC) the slow response of the software is just atrocious. I just don't understand how anybody can actually work with it. What's even more unbelievable and hard to comprehend is that the software is installed locally and the performance is so bad. I tried it on two different machines and I saw my colleagues working with it - it's just how this piece of software works. Badly. Adobe, please do something about it if you want users to switch from Classic to cloud-based Lightroom.
