This can be caused by a defective monitor profile. LrC will typically display images with wrong colors if the profile is defective, but can also display no images at all. As troubleshooting, and as a possible temporary fix, try setting the monitor profile to sRGB. (use Adobe RGB if you have a wide gamut monitor) If this fixes the issue, you should ideally calibrate your monitor with a hardware calibrator. This will also create and install a custom monitor profile, which will be more accurate than sRGB.   With LrC closed, go to Control panel > Color management. Add the sRGB profile, then set it as default. Use my settings for this device must be checked. Now launch LrC.   ... View more

I have 56,000 photos in my catalog, and the size of the catalog folder is 40 GB. The largest item in the folder (37 GB) is the Library previews (also known as the Preview Cache). It's name ends with Previews.lrdata.   You can control the size of the Preview Cache by going to Edit menu > Catalog settings > Previews. There are also some options in Library menu > Previews. And as mentioned by @F. McLion , 1:1 previews take up a lot of space. To get a better understanding of how the catalog works, see this page: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/kb/catalog-faq-lightroom.html?x-product=Helpx%2F1.0.0&x-product-location=Search%3AForums%3Alink%2F3.7.2-dev.2   ...

To determine if Raw Details improves the image, apply it, and then compare before and after at 100% view. If it improves the image, keep it, if not, don't use it. Viewing at 100% is extremely important for assessing any image detail. This is the only magnification that gives you a true impression of the image – one image pixel is represented by one screen pixel. Any other view (like Fit) will be inaccurate and misleading because the image has been scaled. If you have a high resolution monitor (generally 4k or more, but less than that if you have a laptop), you might want to use 200% view because the pixels are tiny, and details that you cannot see at 100% may be revealed at 200%.   I have tried Raw Details from time to time over the years, but I have only seen a marginal improvement in a few cases. Most of the time, there is no visible change in the image, so I never use it. It might be useful in combination with Super resolution, which I don't use either. To determine if you should use it with Denoise, create a virtual copy, do Denoise on the original and Denoise + Raw Details on the virtual copy. Then compare the results at 100% view. ... View more

Hello, I'm working with the originals so I don't understand why it's doing this to me, I thought the problem would be solved thanks to the updates but it didn't solve anything. By @Asle Photography   Are you sure that the originals are not missing? If you open an image in Develop, do you see this?     If everything is normal in Develop, and you are absolutely sure that you are not working with smart previews (it will say Smart Preview below the histogram if you are), try resetting the preferences. https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/help/reset-preferences.html ...

Hello, I have now had the problem for some time that I can no longer send my photos from ligthroom to photoshop the selection "edit in" is grayed out and when it is not and I click edit in photoshop well nothing happens.

Your graphics driver seems to be out of date. Downoad the correct driver for the UHD graphics on this page, then install it, and try to turn the GPU back on. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/search.html#sort=%40lastmodifieddt%20descending&f:@tabfilter=%5BDownloads%5D&f:@stm_10385_en=%5BGraphics,Processor%20Graphics,Intel%C2%AE%20UHD%20Graphics%20Family%5D   The graphics card delivers 3840 x 2160 resolution, which is 300% of the "standard" 1280 x 720 resolution, hence 300%. Changing to 200% does not change the overrun.   The scaling I was talking about is Windows scaling – you seem to be be talking about something different. If you go to Windows Settings > System > Display, what is Scale set to? And what is the native resolution of your screen? 1280 x 720 is slightly below the system requirements, which is 1024 x 768.   ... View more

The display resolution is set at 300%, recommended for the laptop.

LrC cannot import PSDT files (which are Photoshop template files), and you cannot export PSDT files from LrC either. Do you mean PSD? And is that the format of the original? Your description is somewhat confusing. Rather than exporting, you should use Edit in Photoshop (Ctrl + E), and after editing the file will return to LrC when you save it, with no need for syncing the folder. Do not use Save As, just Save (Ctrl + S)    Editing a jpg in Photoshop is a really bad idea because the jpg format uses lossy (destructive) compression when saving, in order to produce small files. You may not notice the quality loss at first, but it is cumulative, and will get worse every time you save the file. The jpg format is not intended for editing – it's a final format. ... View more

Yes you can, as long as you have enough space on the drive. If this is the the C: drive, you need to have at least 20% (some say 25%) free space at any time. If the drive is small, it will quickly fill up with image files, and the Library previews (preview cache) will take up quite a lot of space. If you only have one hard drive, catalog backups will have to be saved there as well, so if the drive fails, you have lost all your work. Having catalog backups and backup of images on a separate hard drive (internal or external) is not only recommended, but required. ... View more

MacOS Ventura 13.7.4 (22H420) When using the MASKS sector, the program closes by itself and gives me an error. Then he lets me open it again but every time I want to use the MASKS sector it closes abruptly.

By @tomas_3197   Your computer is 13 years old, and no computer of that age is going to work satisfactorily with resource intensive software like Lightroom Classic.

Hello, good afternoon  I'm publishing this post because I'm starting to have trouble importing photos into my Lightroom Classic. First of all, it is a very heavy block as it is RAW format for editing, ergo, it takes up more space.  This aspect is what worries me, since every time I import them, I get the C: disk of my computer (the memory that comes with the PC itself) and the truth is that they don't usually have much memory as standard. Then I would like to ask you about possible solutions, or alternatives.  Thank you in advance. By @fmrodin91   You can choose what disk and folder to import to in the Destination panel on the right hand side of the import dialog. If you can't see the panel, right click one of the other panel headers (like File Handling) and choose Destination from the list.   ... View more

Copy the folder containing the catalog from the old computer to the new computer. Double-click the catalog file (with the extension .LRCAT) to launch LrC. The catalog folder doesn't have to be in the Pictures folder – it can be anywhere on your computer. For instance, it could be directly under C:  like this – C:\Lightroom catalog. If your images were on the D drive on the old computer, this is where LrC expects to find them, and you're good to go. If not, LrC will report them as missing, and you'll have to rename the drive to the letter it was on the old computer, or relink the images. Note that drive C cannot be renamed.
