Lightroom ecosystem (Cloud-based)

When I open my images from my iPhone in lightroom they automatically are edited and like "smoothed" out. They become brighter and less defined - and I can't seem to stop this happening. Does anyone know how to stop this?  

I'm trying to import .dng photos into lightroom.  They look sharp with lots of detail when I open via Microsoft photos viewer or on my phone when I zoom in.  As soon as I import into Lightroom they look fine but then it says "loading" for 3-5 seconds and the photo loses a lot of detail.  It looks like someone smeared vaseline all over it.  Any ideas?  I'm super sad that all my raw photos from a trip might be uneditable in lightroom.  I included a picture zoomed in on a cloud to show the loss of detail.  Left is lightroom.  Right is Microsoft photos.

Lightroom on iPad didn't use to do this. I've attached two screenshots of the same RAW unedited photo from my Sony A1. One screenshot is viewing it in iPhoto and the other is viewing it imported to Lightroom.  Neither has been edited. In Lightroom the quality tanks; it's terrible. I checked App Store and Lightroom's up to date. This just started happening and with all RAW imported photos, the quality goes way down. Any help would be appreciated. 

Hello all. Album covers from my Spotifyaccount appear in my library every time. I've looked for how to get rid of this but can't find it. Where do you disable this option?

Unable to login to Lightroom dektop or Creative Cloud dektop for what seems like the umpteenth millionth time. Repeated cycle of asking for login credentials which appear to work but don't actually sign me in. And maybe two hours from now it will work just fine. This has been an ongoing issue since purchasing the plan 8 months ago. I've deleted tokens from Credential Manager - no change.  Can not uninstall the app because - it requires mt to sign in.  Can't contact customer service because it requires me to sign in.  And even then you don't actually get to speak to someone - it's chat only and very delayed at that.  Sigh. Lightroom v 8.4, Windows 11.

With Lightroom Classic now able to export HDR JPEGs, could you share the roadmap for bringing the same capability to the cloud-based Lightroom desktop app? It’s surprising to see this feature already present on mobile yet still missing from the desktop version.

Adobe Lightroom Version 8.4  Apple M3 Pro - MacOS Sequoia 15.5  Lightroom is lagging/stuttering when the desktop app is in use. It gets hung up on "preporting" when attempting to export, indefinitely. This means I can not edit my photos properly and then I can not export them to be saved. There is a bug that needs to be fixed. As of now I am unable to proceed with my photography because the app is so bugged. (Cloud-based). [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]

What’s the easiest/best way to keep track of who receives the photos I share, and which photos are being shared? I plan to be sharing lots of photos soon and I can't rely on my memory, so I have to ask around. I appreciate all useful suggestions.

Hi Adobe Community,I’m a happy Lightroom user on the 3TB plan. My library contains many valuable photos.Is Adobe Cloud alone sufficient for long-term access/reliability?Do you recommend an additional backup (external drive or second cloud)? If so, any best-practice suggestions?Thanks, Robbert

When I open Adobe Lightroom for iPad it no longer remembers where I was last editing. Every time it just opens to the top. So, being that i have almost 30,000 images in my Lightroom, and if I'm editing 5,000 photos deep, it no longer remembers that and I have to scroll down and find it each time I open Lightroom. I removed the app and reinstalled it, and it's still doing the same thing.    I hope this is an error and not a new feature. I have no desire to use a cloud based system that can't remember where I left off.

using Lightroom how do i convert raw orf to JPEG?

I use Lightroom across multiple devices. iPhone, iPad mini, iPad Pro.  The pro keeps having problems downloading original images from the cloud. Saying the file location doesn't exist or hanging.  

I've been having this issue latley on Lightroom desktop (not classic) where the 'red' brush overlay is stuck even when im not editing/just in preview mode. I'm on the latest update and still nothing (version: 8.3.1 ). It could be a software bug on the recent updates -but I honestly think its more to do with the fact that I only have 8gb of ram. I currently use the 2022 Macbook Pro m2 8gb ram- 256gb storage. what I don't understand is why my ipad doesnt have this problem- it runs better on there tbh.  Any help would be appriciated.    (the red lineral brush overlay is stuck on the bottom)

I'm using Lightroom (the mobile version) on my M1 Pro MacBook Pro, but recently it suddenly was signed out by itself. Then I tried to resign in by using my Apple Account, and it would lead to the link that helps you sign in by your Apple Account but always said error "503 Service Temporarily Unavailable". I have restarted my Mac many times, redownloaded Lightroom and then resignin but nothing happened.

I am trying to change the opacity and position of the watermark of my Initials NAH but after adjusting the settings, it reverts to something that is not elegant to me and is to much opacity, but no matter how many times I adjust it and like what I see on the preview screen, it does not change after agreeing to the changes. What am I doing wrong.

Having the Same Problem with LR mobile for iPad. The GPS data is not shown. When I use  LR web with the same picture impage the GPS date is shown correctly. Is this a known issue of LR mobile or a missing Feature?

Bonjour. Quel que soit la sélection de photo que je réalise dans LR, le bouton "Associer dans une pile" reste toujours grisé, non accessible. Comment dois-je procéder ? Merci

After I crop a photograph, if I try to move the frame along the photograph (for example, to focus on different areas of the image), it doesn't move fluidly. It seems like it's snapping to some grid or moving incrementally. Because of this, it's very difficult to center the image and get the composition how I picture it in my mind

I am using hte most updated version of Lightroom Cloud, I edited an image last night and just as it finished the export or just after it locked up and I had to force quit. Today I went to work on the edit at work but it hadn't synced I figured it just didn't get a chance to full upload the edit before crashing, but when I got home the picture didn't have any editing anymore. Its not in the deleted folder and if I look on another device it shows the alert that there are edits waiting to sync. I've tried restarting both PC and Lightroom itself to no avail. So is my edit just lost? Will it just sync back up randomly? 

Buenas, en febrero elimine unas fotos de la aplicación, pero también se eliminaron de mi galería de fotos. Trate de buscar y recuperarlas, pero no pude. Necesito recuperarlas de manera urgente. ¿Como podría hacer?Muchas gracias

I have entirely uninstalled lightroom and reinstalled, I have restarted my computer twice, cleared old files, and I have both turned on and off GPU processing. Nothing is working. I click on any of my smart presets and they technically work but I can't adjust them at all. The slider sometimes disappears and if it doesn't, after i click on the slider and move it nothing happens and then the slider disappears. What do I do now?
