Hi, this is a post I put up on the Lightroom Queen forum - topic "Thumbnails not reflecting edits (and more!) - I am not able to add the link unfortunately.My issues haven't been resolved so I am posting here instead!  I have added a note to that effect on the Lightroom Queen post. ==Original postLightroom Version Number 13.5.1 Operating System Windows 11-Initially I thought there was a problem with Virtual Copies not showing edits, that is, the virtual copy looks exactly the same as the original in the thumbnails. Even looking at them in loupe view doesn't reflect the changes.But I have now realised that the thumbnails for all my earlier photos (years' worth) are not showing edits! (However, edits done in the last few days do show correctly in the thumbnails.) These earlier thumbnails are showing the photographs as imported. If I go to the History panel, no step is highlighted (the top step is highlighted for more recently edited photos). Also, the 'Photo has Develop ad

How can I determine the bit depth of a lossy compressed DNG made with the JPEG XL engine? I convert an adjusted RAW to a lossless DNG, then use Lightroom Classic or DNG Converter to generate from that a lossy compressed DNG. That lossy compressed DNG seems to have the same dynamic range and tonal malleability (5 stops!) as the original RAW file, so I have to assume it's more than 8 bits, as I'd expect a similarly abused JPEG to fall apart.

As we know, in a Night and Fog action Adobe introduced an incompatibility with millions of existing PC's and laptops. The recent Lightroom version demand for a processor with AVX2 instruction set (Advanced Vector Extensions V2).But Adobe does not provide any simple means to identify said processors!   Every user of Lightroom may now be facing the necessity of purchasing a new computer, and effectively retire and dump the old one to a land fill.  Of course, they will ignore any plea to reverse this action, but they MUST provide a clarity what to purchase now.How to identify the "correct" processor with AVX2?  Most main manufacturers (Dell, Lenovo, HP to name a few) do not provide such information with their devices.

Hello.I've just upgraded my Graphic card from 5080 to 5090.I had my graphic drivers delete and updated.and I have uninstalled Lightroom classic and re-installed it.and still it does not recognize my RTX 5090.In preference setting, Camera Raw graphic acceralation tab is disabled(it's grey and unable to select anything probably because it does not recognize my graphic card)I've tried deleting preference files and everything but I can't find how to make it work!I've used acceration just before upgrade when I used 5080.Does anyone know what's the issue is all about?

Publishing from lightroom Classic to Squarespace? As a travel photographer, currently publishing to SmugMug using theSmugmug  plugin, I now plan to publish on Squarespace and would require that all the country folders, city folders and galleries, together with the titles, captions and metadata are moved to Squarespace directly, or from SmugMug. Has anyone accomplished this effectively, and if so I would appreciate any pointers that you can share. Thanks, Adrian

I am using Lightroom Classic (latest v. 14.3.1) on Windows 11 machine.  I just purchased a Pixma Pro-200s to replace my older Pro-100.  I have installed the printer and I can use it with the Lightroom Print Module.  I am trying to use the Canon Professional Print & Layout Plugin.  I have downloaded and installed the latest software (v. 1.6) and it recognizes the plugin, but when I run it, it shows "Opening Professional Print & Layout" and then stops and doesn't load it.  It will recognize and run the plugin within Photoshop.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both PPL and Lightroom without success.  Any thoughts on how to get it working?

Dear Adobe Team,I’ve been a loyal Lightroom Classic user for over a decade, and I have to say: the recent changes in version 13 and beyond are deeply disappointing.Core tools that were once intuitive—like Radial Gradients—are now buried under inconsistent interface logic, requiring obscure keyboard shortcuts just to behave as expected. Masking behavior is unpredictable, overlays frequently obscure adjustments, and persistent UI elements like unexplained red dots introduce needless distraction.These aren’t innovations. They’re regressions—frustrating, unnecessary, and disconnected from the realities of professional use.I’ve reverted to version 12.5, the last stable release fit for actual work. I strongly urge your team to reconsider its design priorities and return to building tools for working photographers, not for feature checklists. 

There are a lot of GPS tracking apps for the iPhone, and I'd like to get input on which one(s) to use from people who have used them to geotag in Lightroom 4.I've read reviews on some that output a GPX log that they don't include time stamps. Others track, but aren't clear if they output a GPX log. Also, I'd like to know for the ones that do output a GPX log, what method do you use to get it on the computer?Lastly, for those using Android, is My Tracks a viable solution?

Hey everyone,How do you usually handle culling large batches of RAWs before importing them into Lightroom Classic? I’m talking 2-5k images from a wedding or event. I used to do everything directly in LrC, but lately I’ve been experimenting with an iOS app called PhotoPicker that lets me go through photos directly from an external drive — no import needed. It supports flagging, star ratings, etc., and saves everything into XMPs that Lightroom picks up on import. Has anyone tried something similar? Curious if there are other tools or workflows people are using for faster pre-import sorting.

Porqué me aparece la opción de super resolución no activa en la mejora de ruido al utilizar un RAW3 DE CANON? en Lrc

Would be really nice to have an AI click to automatically remove the glare in eyeglasses. At the moment I moved all my edits to a different tool, a one click thing compared with everything you need to do in Lightroom. Or Photoshop. 

The reverse geolocation feature in LrC is not working. While GPS coordinates are present and visible in the Metadata panel and Map module, the corresponding location names (e.g., city, state, country) are not being populated as expected.I’ve verified that:The “Look up city, state, country...” option is checked in Catalog Settings > Metadata.I have a stable internet connection.GPS coordinates are correctly embedded in the images.I am using the latest version of Lightroom Classic.Despite this, Lightroom Classic does not display location names in the Metadata panel, even after waiting or manually reloading the metadata.Any suggestions?

Lightroom Classic 14.3.1Windows 11 Pro 24H2Since some weeks, my Lightroom library seems to have hiccups.When opening a picture in Develop mode, it is often not shown. There is only an empty screen.When I select another picture in the bottom bar and then select the first one again, in the end it is shown.However, when I select the other picture again, the first picture remains shown.None of my edits (edits, crop overlay, remove, masking) are shown in the right sidebar anymore. Everything seems to be reset.Some pictures indicate a mismatch between the Lightroom catalog and the file on disk, but for most pictures this is not the case.All XMP files are still there.Trying a backup catalog does not resolve the problem. Clearing disk space (used to be 25 GB; is now 125 GB) does not resolve the problem.Do I need to remove some of the .lrcat-data files (and is it a destructing operation)? Any advice on how to repair my library is appreciated.

I was typing a folder name when lightroom opened and whatever I was typing must have started facial recogniction.

Hi Adobe Friends -I have upgraded my 2017 iMac to a new Mac Studio.  It's now time to move a few things over (LrC presets and Photoshop).  I've been down the YouTube rabbit hole and it seems everyone has very different and very confusing advice on this.   So, I thought I try my questions here.   First, in LrC, I don't want to move all my photos over.  I have a ridiculous amount and I'd just like to start fresh.  I would however like to move my current presets over as they are now.  Is there an easy way to do this?  Do I need to install LrC and/or Creative Cloud on my new computer before I move my presets over?   Moving Photoshop over looks to be a little simpler, but I'd take any advice/instruction on that if you have any.   I feel like this is going to require a call to Adobe and I'd like to avoid that if possible.   Any help you could provide would be much appreciated.   Tony 

Is there a LRC and PS version that can be purchased once with a lifetime activation that doesn't use the CC? I store all my work on my pc and would only update if/when an update is available. I've seen one site that offers both LRC and PS 2025 for $48.00 US dollars a piece. I'm not sure if it's legit or not.thanx

I have successfully used and had books print from LRC to Blurb but this time I have a problem.I am using the previous update as I had started this book a few months ago and didnt want to update LRC half way through a book.When I try to 'Send the book to Blurb'.   It goes  just over half way across in the top left 'Uploading Book to Blurb'.  and then an errornotice comes up but doesnt tell me what the error is. I close Lightroom down and start again.Earlier it gave me the photo which was the problem so I removed it from the book and used a different photo.. The Export Book to PDF worked ok.I really dont want to make a mistake this book has taken me so long to make so any help appreciated.I am using LRC 12.4. on a  macOS Ventura

Hi there,I had a broken catalogue, afterwards Lightroom "repaired" the catalogue.Now the star- and colorratings from my most recently used folders are missing. Everything is rated with zero stars.I made a backup yesterday, is it possible to import just the starratings from my backup?Because i dont want to loose the editing progress that i have made since then. Thank you for any help!Best regards Valentin 

In LrC, I inadvertently clicked “Don’t Show Again” option for the Edit In > (PhotoShop) command pop up menu. How do I turn it back on?Apolgies ~ pretty sure this is a rookie mistake, but I've been unable to find it on my own.I am using the most recent versions of LrC, Photoshop, and Mac OS on a Mac Studio.TIA

When editing images in the Develop module, images will randomly (without being directed to) rotate in the main viewing screen. I am using the most current version of LRC (v14.3.1). On a PC. Please see attached screenshot from 5.12.25 showing what is happening in the Develop module. The image has not been rotated and appears correclty in the Navigator window and the filmstrip view at the bottom. Please see second attachment for my computer specs. Since updating to version 14.3.1 a couple of days ago, this has happened to me at least 10-20 times. The only way I have been able to get the image to return to its proper orientation is to exit LR and reopen it. However, sometimes this is not correct the situation. Any suggesions or help that you can give is much appreciated. I am on a very tight deadline to complete edits of photos for my client who is a graduating senior.
