Lightroom ecosystem (Cloud-based)

I import my images using Sonys Creators App. I edit them using Lighroom, and afterwards i usually wanna get rid of the raw files on my phone again. Unfortunately, i can't store them all. Even with a lot of storage. So i tried to delete them from the Creators folder until i recently realized, that this also deleted all images i exported using lightroom. therefore i need: An option to export files in another album, Lightroom only, that does not link back into the Creators App album. Please add such an app option asap. It slows my workflow down drastically and causes data loss for me.

I like to cull pictures with my iPad when i'm on the train and so on and I do that with synchronized albums between my Mac and iPad. My problem is that the resolution is low and between similar shots I can't see which one is the sharpest or if there were some slight focus issues.  Is there any possibiilty to higher the resolution in synchronized albums?  Thank you guys very much!

I recently edited many lightroom mobile hdr images its looks good on dekstop and other but a problem is there  when exporting a Gainmap induced jpegs or other than avif or jxl. The Gainmap in minGainmap values are going way too below -1 is bad reproduction of existing image . The negative gainmap results in very odd pictures if exported through editing with mobile.Please fix the output of negative gainmap to some what above -1 or equal to zero.

When attempting to apply the Denoise function, Lightroom consistently freezes and is unable to complete the operation. This occurs even when no other adjustments are applied and the Denoise feature is the only setting enabled. As a result, the noise reduction is not applied to any photograph, and the process never completes. The issue occurs regardless of the number of images selected. The same behavior is observed when processing: Small batches (e.g. 30 images) Large batches (e.g. 300 images) The problem is reproducible every time. This issue severely limits the usability of the Denoise feature, especially for professional workflows involving batch processing. My laptop is a Macbook Pro M4. I would appreciate your support in investigating and resolving this problem. Kind regards,margherita   [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]

Hi,I currently use Lightroom CC (NOT the classic version, but the cloud) through my school account. I’m graduating soon, which means my school email will stop working and I’ll lose access to Adobe software. I would like to continue subscribing to Adobe services using my personal account.  This question has been asked for many years already, so I’m wondering if in 2026, there is finally a way to transfer all Lightroom CC photos, folders, and albums from an educational account to a personal one. I honestly don’t see any real downside to allowing users to continue using the service seamlessly after graduating. Manually exporting and re-uploading everything is extremely painful, especially when dealing with several years’ worth of photos and limited local storage. From a user perspective, enabling this would make it much easier to stay with Adobe after school, which seems like a clear win-win. Thanks in advance for any clarification.

So title has its all, I've got base m3 mb air with 8gb ram. Installed latest lightroom, not classic, and trying to edit my lossless compressed raw files from gfx 100s II. Even switching between photos takes ages for machine. Exporting is also extremely slow.I heard so much billshit about apple silicon being so powerful and ram usage absolutely another compared to windows and so on, but in real cases it's just bad.  

I use DxO Pure Raw for my initial denoise/sharpening. I added it to the Edit in menu, but then it seems to export a TIF file, which DxO doesn’t open. Is there a way for it to export the raw file directly to DxO, or is this a not yet feature?  Thanks!

Hi! When using lightroom I import photos from folders in my OneDrive, if I delete them within Lightroom does that also delete them from my OneDrive files? 

 LR CC will not load my local images, it does load the cloud. i use windows 11, i tried uninstalling and installing, reset my laptop, but lightroom just shows the blue spinning circle / loading circle 

I have RAW files saved to my harddrive with the corressponding XMP files. I exported the files from Lightroom CC: originals plus settings. How do I import them with the settings again into Lightroom CC?   I tried to import the presets before and after. Nothing worked. I found this thread, but I don't get the settings applied automatically. If I have thounsands of fotos a manual way won't work: https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-ecosystem-cloud-based-discussions/bulk-import-xmp-sidecars-with-raw/m-p/10420465#M16580    Thanks so much

I am looking at several Lightroom albums that have many files but I have not been able to find the documention that shows where the source file resides?Please advise.

Hello, I am having issues exporting a number of AI edited photos. The system glitches and asks to update the AI. I click accept, and then it is "stuck" at 0%. Version of the app - 9.1Platform and OS version - MacOS Sequoia 15.6.1Basic steps to reproduce the problem - have tried 10 different times to export large amounts of photos and small amounts, still no difference. Expected result and actual result - I need to export these files as JPEGS for this couple.  Can someone please assist? This for a couples wedding album. - Seton

Ich gehe meine alten Fotos durch und würde gerne einige davon ausdrucken, resp. die Qualität verbessern. Ich habe gelesen, dass man Fotos mit Lightroom hochskalieren kann, leider finde ich das im Lightroom (Webbasiert, 9.1, auf Windows 11) nicht. Ich habe natürlich bereits alle Updates gemacht, die von der Creative Cloud vorgeschlagen werden. Danke für eure Tipps!

I’ve recently started using the Adaptive Color profile as the default base for most of my images. While building a modular preset toolkit (e.g. curve-only, sharpening-only presets), I noticed consistent color shifts when applying these presets to new images, even though Profile, Color, and Calibration were not selected when saving them. After moving to desktop and inspecting the preset XMP files, I found that presets authored on images where Adaptive Color was already applied contained non-zero Camera Calibration values (e.g., BlueHue, BlueSaturation, etc.), whereas identical presets authored from a neutral-origin image did not. These calibration values are not visible or editable in Lightroom Mobile/iPad, but they persist and affect color when the preset is applied elsewhere. I’m trying to understand whether this behavior is expected or an unintended side effect of authoring presets under Adaptive Color.   Below is an example from the .xmp file for a preset that I authored which

I am posting here because after more than a month of ongoing issues, I currently have no reliable way to reach Adobe Support, and the support process itself has now become the main blocker to my work.ContextI am a professional photographer working with the Lightroom ecosystem (Classic + Lightroom cloud/mobile). Lightroom is central to my livelihood and to active client deliveries, including a book project that should have been completed weeks ago.Over the past month, I have been in repeated contact with Adobe Support regarding a serious Lightroom workflow failure. During this time:My case has been reassigned and case numbers changed multiple timesContinuity has been lost repeatedlyI have had to re-explain the same issue across different agents and departmentsMost recent failure (and why I’m posting publicly)Today, I was given a scheduled callback window (1–3 PM GMT+3). I was available the entire time. No call was made.This was not a missed call on my part — Adobe did not call.After the

Hi, I'm trying to export all of my originals, about 10,000 images in my Lightroom library. I've tried many times but Lightroom consistently fails to complete the export for one reason or the other. I do a Select All > Export on all photos or even just a large album and after a while it fails to complete. I am exporting to a local hard drive and have the latest Lightroom version and macOS version on my Mac mini desktop. I've also tried accessing my library via Creative Cloud but it does not show up there. Thank you. 

Tonight its not able to export a silly little photo, that cant be even 5mb. Internet is working great on other websites and apps. This is such a creative-flow killer. I just want to turn of my computer. Adobe is always *** in one way or the other. Its stupidly expensive, and the roll out tech like its silly, yet their basic functions are amateur at best. Even this bug report is bugged. I understand there will be snags, but why put out broken software out there and charge for it? [Removed profanity]

Dear Lightroom Cecosystem (Cloud-based) Community, I am baffled by a current need and thought that perhaps someone here could help. I have an external HD with hundreds of folders, each corresponding to different events. Each folder contains many image files for each event indicated by the folder: For example:*External HD**Event 1 (folder)***Event 1 (image files)**Event 2 (folder)***Event 2 (image files)**Event 3 (folder)***Event 3 (image files) I'd like to find a method by which to quickly create Albums in Adobe Lightroom (currently using v9.1) that correspond to the folder names in my HD. Without this, I have to create each album manually and import the images into each newly created album. This is extremely time intensive and it seems like there should be an easier way to migrate a folder/image structure on an external HD to the folder/album/image structure in Adobe Lightroom.  I've done a bunch of research but can't seem to find a solution. One option p

Hi all, I am not a pro. I cannot update anymore some apps of my Creative Cloud because my system is "not compatible" (mainly Lightroom classic and Ligthroom for could). My computer is no more compatible with more recent versions of mac OS. I use a 27" iMac, quite powerful for my personal use (48 Go RAM). I bought it in 2017, and run Ventura 13.7.8. I do not intend to replace it; it works flawlessly, and is still faster than more modern computers for stacking astrophotos. Would the unability to update infringe my possibility to keep using the version of LR I am still able to run in the future ? Best regards,Stef.   

I tried to solve the problem now for several hours and am tiered of not getting any solutions.  Lightroom just crashes on startup with the EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION and basically says he cannot work with my gpus, because i have an rtx 4060 and i9 with uhd graphics build in. I asked AI first to help fix the issue but I did everything he told me to and still nothing is working. I already tried to uninstall and reinstall drivers, the program, creative cloud. Disabled the intel gpu, deleted cache and reset preferences and restarted my computer several times, checked my system files. I hope someone can help me and my pc runs windows 11 btw. And if someone can tell me where to find crashlog files and not only the crashlog in the moment it crashes I can also post the crashlog here.

Hi.My memory card got corrupted and I can't access it via android.My lightroom mobile app was moved to it since I was running out of internal storage.I've used up my 40GB quota so I wasn't able to sync new albums to the cloud.Thing is that I can see memory card and all of its files on my PC so my question is can I somehow move files from memory card back into internal storage so that my Lightroom Mobile app can work again with all of its files restored since I plan on upgrading my plan so that I can sync it all up in the future.Is it possible to restore app back into internal storage of my android phone?
