Lightroom ecosystem (Cloud-based)

I have LrC and also LR (cloud).  If I sync a directory to the cloud, it uploads a smart preview.  If I go into LR and work on the smart preview, will the resolution be good enough to edit with?  I'm used to using LrC on my big desktop, but would like to use my laptop so I'm not isolated from the family as much. I've been struggling to try and find a reliable way to upload RAW to the cloud and work on that in LR, but I just can't get a reliable way to do it, and still sync back to LrC.   It's been a struggle for me to try and wrap my head around this. My last attempt, I tried sync, so smart previews are in the cloud.  I then went into LR, loaded RAW from local to cloud.  I then ended up with LR showing original in both places (local and cloud), but when I go back to LrC, I see that the originals I uploaded in LR show up as virtual copies, but not stacked with the original.  Don't quite know what to do with that, or if that will even be w

I am having a problem with both Lightroom Classic and Lightroom CC. When I use the brush tool to subtract part of a mask Lightroom stalls. The brush itself will continue to subtract, but nothing else works. I cannot move on from the brush to another tool, close the mask, or do anything else. The app freezes. This does not occur when I use the brush to create a mask, only when subtracting. The apps will not even shut down. I need to force quit. Macbook Pro, M4 chip, 48GB RAM.

I'm gettting a weird issue where lightroom CC is manually overriding my pc's audio to 67% while lightroom is my active window. If I switch to another window like file explorer or chrome, spotify, etc the volume goes back down to what I had it set to. This happens with speakers and bluetooth headset.I'm in Windows 10 Adobe Photoshop Lightroom version 4.1 20201120-1311-17d302b Build

Any thoughts on what works best to store and edit photo's when travelling, a tablet running Android or a Microsoft Surface Pro 11? I am using Lightroom on my (android) cell phone, and know it works OK. I also use Lightroom on a Windows laptop, and that (of course) works OK too. Only, I consider my laptop to bulky. I am curious what your experiences are with either device. 

Hello, since the last update when i download images onto my i pad they are very pixelated. It is making editing almost nearly impossible. 

Lightroom Creative Cloud - Desktop Windows app - Version 9.0   The Lightroom App fails to upload new photo's after importing them or new adjustments to the cloud. Photos imported through the web app or mobile app do download on desktop, but the other way around does not work since October.    I tried: - Restart app and computer - Deleting the syncing photos and import them again.  - Forcing a sync by making a small adjustment to an already synced photo without importing other pictures - Deleting the lightroom app and re-installing it   Could you provide a solution for this issue?

When I use Super Resolution (under detail ) On Lightroom Creative Cloud (CC) It says applying super resolution give me the percentage and then once it done I get an error with no changes made to my photo. I understand there is no more enhance  feature with the new LRCC but why am I getting this error? I have Adobe Ligthroom Version 8.5.1 

I just got a new laptop with the latest Intel Ultra 9 285 processor, an NVIDIA 5070 GPU, and 64 GB of RAM — but Lightroom (the standard CC version, not Classic) runs incredibly slow. The web version actually performs faster. Is the Adobe team just not capable of optimizing their software for Windows?

Hi! I have been having an issue since the last update where when I copy a mask and then attempt to paste it 5+ times, the entire app will freeze and I will have to restart it to be able to click anything. This is frustrating as I just bought a really intense Macbook to make sure my editing (M4 Pro 48 GB memory) was quick and seamless. Crazy that what is seemingly a bug is getting in my way. Does anyone know how to resolve this?  Version of the app9.0Platform and OS versionM4 Pro, Sequoia 15.6.1Basic steps to reproduce the problemCopy mask and paste it 5+ times, sometimes it will take 10+ timesExpected result and actual resultExpected result is for system not to freeze Thank you! Jillian

Hey guys! So I use Lightroom pretty consistently on different devices like my phone, tablet, and home computer, have always been able to edit on one device and then continue on a different one. But for some reason, my editing laptop (used for video editing on Premiere Pro) cannot show any of my photos that I've imported, nor show any of the photos I have edited in the past. Here is a screenshot of what shows up when I first load up Lightroom. Anything could help! Side Note: I've updated to the latest version of Lightroom, as well as updated my laptop's graphics card, restarted my laptop, and updated my laptop still. Nothing has worked.

In Lightroom CC, I keep being prompted that I'm almost out of storage space.  To fix this, I want to sort my library by file size so I can delete the largest files.  Can anyone help me figure out how to sort my library by file size?   Thanks.

Hace unos meses (Mayo 2025) instalé y comence a trabajar con lightroom con unicamente 16gb de RAM, no había problema, revelaba mas de 150 cada 3 días y la memoria como máximo usaba 12gb de RAM y un ssd de 256, tenía en aquel entonces windows 10.   Hoy 06 de noviembre 2025, ya con windows 11, actualicé mi hardware con 64gb de RAM y un ssd nvme de 2tb, revelo 200 fotos cada mes y veo que el lightroom usa un total de 58gb!!! está actualizado a su ultima version, ya reinstalé y realicé desinstalaciones limpias, hice ajustes de rendimiento y caché, pero el problema continua, en cada foto no utilizo mas que 2 máscaras por mucho, y eliminacion de ruido con IA lo quité por recomendaciones pero aun así el problema persiste.   He leido que es un fallo en las pc con windows, ya que tambien tengo una mac M1 con 8gb de ram y ese problema no existe.   Si alguien conoce alguna solucion agradeceria mucho su ayuda.

Hi - hoping someone can help When I try to denoise a photo in lightroom it starts the process but will stop and close the photo I am working on. When i reopen the photo no denoise has taken to the photo. Does anyone know why this might be and how I fix it? Thanks in advance

I downloaded the latest lightroom which is the 9.0, and for some reason it cant connect to my internet. I tried connecting to a different internet and its the same. The search bar says its unavailable and the buttons are grayed out. I cant add photos and search, basically I cant use the lightroom. 

Intento exportar un album entero y me pregunta si deseo actualizar las configuraciones, tildo que sí y ahí queda. He reiniciado el programa, la pc y nada. Es muy engorroso porque lo uso para trabajar y genera grandes demoras. Otro problema es que pego una configuración, y luego de pegar vuelve al archivo raw, asi que tengo que deshacer la acción y repetir el pegado y quita mucho tiempo. Por favor solucion urgente a estos problemas.

Just started with Lightroom CC. Some photos uploaded, but now stuck for more than a day with "Uploading . . . . 3919 pending on my mobile. I have updated both the desktop and the mobile app. When I go to lightroom.adobe.com I can see that 3919 files have sync issues. I can select them all. Should I delete them and try adding again from my mobile? They are on my mobile phone. If I delete them in lightroom.adobe.com, will that delete them from my mobile? What do you recommend, since 641 uploaded by the rest didn't. I still have room in the 20gigs in the cloud.

I don't get it. They say there's a free version but only with a subscription? That's not free. I just want camera controls and not Cloud storage. Is thatan option? How can I downgrade. There's no info on that at all.

 Good morning to all,Has anyone had issues with lastest LR update? I’m not able to export files from Photomechanic to light form editing since update. I appreciate the assistance from all. Thanks

I am getting so frustrated with how buggy LR Mobile is these days.   Opening LR Mobile on my iPhone 16 Pro, I am constantly being taken to the middle of my entire history of photos taken. Not to recent.   How long does the message "A copy has been saved to device photos" really need to be shown on the screen? I am editing multiple images and having to close that message manually every single time so I can continue is a frustration.

J'essaie d'utiliser Lightroom Desktop. J'ai un dossier avec 800 photos RAW et c'est vraiment très lent pour l'affichage. J'ai pourtant un PC portable assez recent processeur I7 avec une carte graphique GEFORCE GTX. Dommage, c'est rebutant d'utiliser ce mode.

Antes las fotos editadas aparecían con una etiqueta dentro de las fotos importadas, esto facilitaba la busqueda y el trabajo de exportacion, como puedo activar esta etiqueta?

You have completely changed my interface and I can't get the program to work at all. I don't want my photos to go to the cloud. I am not paying anything else and I don't want my photos in the wild. This new program will not even see the photos in my folders. All I am getting is a spinning wheel.    Y'all have broken the program with your constant updating and I have no clue how to even proceed with opening a photo much less editing one.   

No matter how many times i updated my LR mobile app still it can't read my RAW files from canon R7 and yes that camera also has been updated to the latest software available. LR mobile says it supports Canon R7 Cr3 files but it can't access the RAW file via app, you need to go to your phones/card DCIM folder then select R7 and worst it would not display any image preview (which is very helpful if you want to select a specific file to edit)  Any fixed for this?

I just upgraded to Lightroom desktop October 2025 version and scrolling from one image to the next in Fullscreen mode seems to be disabled. I am running Mac OS Sequoia on an M4 Macbook Pro. Anyone else having this issue?
