Lightroom ecosystem (Cloud-based)

I am a headshot photographer.  I crop one headshot and then copy that shot and batch paste the other headshots.  I have been able to do this, as soon as I have uploaded my images into Lightroom, as the photos are syncing.  Recently I haven’t been able to do this.  I have to wait until all the images are totally synced to the Cloud.  If I don’t wait, the paste settings freeze (where the blue status bar stops half way and doesn’t move) and the paste setting have only affected a few images leaving the other images untouched.  I have to quit Lightroom to reset everything.  This is really frustrating and time consuming when I have a lot of team headshots to crop and edit.  Not sure why this has started happening recently?  Any ideas?

Hi,I'm experiencing an issue with Generative Expand in Lightroom Desktop 9.5.1 on Windows.When I enable Enable Expand in the Crop tool and extend the crop boundary outside the original image, both Method and Generate remain greyed out. Therefore, Generative Expand cannot be started at all.The issue is reproducible:On every photo I have tested With RAW and other images Even when extending the crop boundary only slightly After restarting Lightroom and Windows On two different Windows PCsMy Adobe subscription is Lightroom 1 TB and I currently have 249 generative credits available.Other Firefly features work normally. In particular, I regularly use Generative Remove in Lightroom Desktop without any issues.I also tested Generative Expand in Lightroom Mobile using the same Adobe account and cloud library, and it works correctly there.Generative Expand had also worked previously, shortly before this problem appeared.This seems to indicate that the problem is specific to Lightroom Desktop rath

We are under a business account and another employee had the libraries and licensed photos under their account.  I went through support to help with the transfer and now as the account/contract owner my adobe stock library is empty.  I saw another post where it seems someone with a similar issue was able to get help recovering the content. Due to this being a business account I am really hoping this is possible for my case so I don’t have to spend hours finding the exact licensed photos our teams use. Any insight and help is much appreciated, thank you.

I’m on Adobe Lightroom app (not classic) on Macbook Pro M5 and running the latest version.I was editing photos, copied edits from one photo, and pasted it onto maybe 10 photos. Lightroom crashed, and now if I open Lightroom and view those photos, it crashes Lightroom. It does this non-stop now for days.

Severe lag, CPU spikes, and sustained heavy disk writes while editing (Lightroom 9.5.1, macOS, Apple Silicon)App version: Adobe Lightroom (cloud) 9.5.1OS: macOS 26.6.2 (Build 25G83)Hardware: MacBook Pro, Mac15,6, 18 GB RAM, Apple SiliconSymptoms:After just a few minutes of ordinary RAW editing (Leica DNG files), Lightroom becomes severely laggy. Sliders stop responding smoothly, preset previews don't render, and the system heats up with fans at full speed. This isn't tied to any heavy feature like Denoise or masking, it happens on basic actions.Measured evidence:- Lightroom's own CPU usage has been observed as high as 341% and 574% (Activity Monitor), with GPU usage spiking to 40%+ during simple actions like dragging one slider or switching to a new photo.- macOS generated an automatic disk-writes resource-violation report during one editing session: Lightroom dirtied 2,147.67 MB of file-backed memory over 2,123 seconds, an average of 1,011.51 KB/sec, against the system's expected limi

Boa tarde, após realizar a atualização o meu lightroom nao está funcionando a seleção de objetos, estou tendo que enviar a foto para o photoshop para realizar ajustes mais finos, preciso de ajuda

Why does my system keep crashing when I try to remove people in Lightroom

Hello Lightroom team,With iPhone Duo arriving, it would be great to see a dedicated “laptop mode” in Lightroom mobile: One screen (or half) shows the image at full size. The other screen (or bottom half) shows the editing controls (sliders, masks, presets, histogram).This would mirror the efficiency of dual‑monitor and Reference View workflows on desktop and make serious mobile editing much more practical on foldable devices.Current mobile behavior (tapping to hide/show controls, press‑and‑hold for before/after) is good, but a persistent split layout would be a big productivity boost.Thanks for considering this.

Assisted Culling is now generally available in Lightroom  TL; DR: Assisted Culling has graduated from Early Access to General Availability. It gives you a fast, reviewable first pass on large shoots: it surfaces your strongest frames and sets aside the obvious rejects, so you spend less time comparing near-duplicates. You stay in control: review everything, adjust the thresholds, and override any call. If you tried it back in October 2025, it's substantially more accurate now, especially for wedding, event, group, and portrait work. We'd love for you to give it another look and tell us what you think in this thread. What it does Open an album or collection, run a cull, and Assisted Culling analyzes your images against the criteria you choose: Subject Sharpness, Eye Sharpness, Eyes Open, exposure, and more. It marks Selects and Rejects, shows you why behind every call, and leaves the final decision to you.  How far it's come since Early Access  February 2026: Expanded from individual po

Há um tempo já estava sentindo falta de umas fotos em especificas do meu Lightroom nuvem.Até que fui realmente pesquisar e vi que as fotos do dia 16/5/26 haviam sumido. Provavelmente sumiram ha mais de 2 meses, porque não há registro na lixeira e em nem um outro canto.Consegui ver que elas tinham sumido, porque no meu Google photos no dia que exportei as fotos elas foram para nuvem da Google.Então gostaria de saber se existe um jeito de eu recuperar essas fotos.São de pássaros endêmicos aqui de Rondônia, no Brasil, que são super difíceis de fotografar. 

Hello Adobe team, I’ve been suffering with frequent crashes of Lightroom (aka Lightroom CC, but NOT Lightroom Classic) since November.  I had a busy / active forum thread going but it has apparently been made unavailable ~8 days ago when you re-launched the Community site, which is very frustrating. This was the link to the thread - perhaps you can see it still? Summary: I am using Lightroom 9.1 (aka Lightroom CC, *NOT* Lightroom Classic) on my MacBook Pro (M4 Max CPU, 48GB RAM, macOS Tahoe 26.2).  Sometime around November, the app began freezing with a pinwheel cursor while doing routine activities: editing a photo, exporting pics, or even just being left open but in the background. Attempting to quit Lightroom puts it into a pinwheel freeze 90% of the time. I’ve submitted dozens of crash reports, hopefully you can see them (they’re linked to my Adobe account). I also have two fresh log outputs from today (a Console crash report and a Lightroom Diagnostic log) which I’m happy to share

Since last couple of months whenever I try to edit the photos on my phone (Lightroom) It's very squareish and pixelated.All the photos are fine but when I try to edit it goes In o this(screenshot attached)I'm not sure what's the issue. Looking forward to the help. 

  The issue should be self-evident. Tested on macOS Tahoe.

Filtering for “unflagged” images works fine in Lightroom Desktop, for both regular albums and smart albums. But many of those same albums are not filtering for “unflagged” items in Lightroom Web.

I’m looking through “all photos” scrolling side to side. Right clicking after selecting single or multiple photos pops up the right-click menu with the option to scroll DOWN to see all options. Why would i do that? That’s the bottom of my screen.Why doesn’t the menu pop UPWARDS and display all options? 

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!

Nowhere in the mobile app does it note that upgrading your Lightroom account will strictly be mobile. How is it legal to do this? What is stopping people from submitting this to the FTC?

I’m curious how other Lightroom users keep their photo libraries organized over time.My regular work is in medical billing, where keeping information organized and easy to find is important, so I tend to appreciate simple systems that make it easier to manage a large amount of information. I’ve been wondering how Lightroom users approach the same idea with their photo collections.Do you organize everything primarily with albums, folders, ratings, keywords, or a combination of different methods?I’m especially interested in simple workflows that work well when the library keeps growing. It would be helpful to hear how others avoid ending up with thousands of photos that are difficult to search through later.What Lightroom organization method has worked best for you?

I payed for premium features today but do not have access...I have the receipt 

When batch editing, I copy setting ( auto )  from the initial photo after editing it of course. But when I apply the the setting to the other photos, it shows processing and complete, but the setting are not applied. Then I have to manual apply them individually. 

Quando mando exportar imagens, aparece esse erro. Como solucionar.
