I selected the Rename option to rename raw files on Import from my Windows 11 C drive.  That worked.  Then I tried to import a different set of files from the C drive, but specifically unchecked the Rename option.  However, the files were still mistakenly renamed.

Hey folks, Anyone know a reason why the LrC app window has such a terrible refresh speed when being resized? I made a video which starts with Capture One for comparision.https://youtu.be/Lki7DtByTR8

I am in the need to find all entries in a LR Classic database, that actually have their link to the original photo broken. I haven't found a filter/attribute to do this.

When I download a group of pictures from LR, LR will add (number in sequence) in front of the actual number the pictures came with from the camera. How do you stop this? Original Number 1411after download from LR  -  001-1411 is there a fix?Im on LR on line Windows 11

I am having a challenge in the print module. I'm using LrC 14.5.1, Windows 11, printer is an Epson ET-8550. I have been trying to print 8.5 x 11" prints with a small border. I have all the margins set properly in the print module page layout, everything looks proper on the screen. It's the way I have been doing the prints for years. But the resulting print is consistently coming out as a 5 x 7" print on half of the paper. I'm not using any print template. I have two other printing programs, Qimage and Epson Print Layout, and they both print as expected. But I'm puzzled because LrC doesn't want to seem to print the full-page image. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi!I have not used LR for the last two years. My LR catalogue contains 200.000 photos and I desperatly want to see and handle these photos.I started the Photography plan 2013. I have Windows 10 and my hardware doesn't allow me to update to Windows 11.Today I logged in on my Adobe ID. When I click the latest LR catalogue the  question on trial comes. Why trial, I have payed since 2013!I am scared to update to the latest LR version since my old computer hardware may not be compatible.I really likes LightRoom and it's a perfect way to get an overview of my photos and make collections. I can't handle my photos without LR.Please, can anyone advice me how to proceed? RegardsLotta from Sweden

Hey y'all! I work across a bunch of different catalogs as an event photographer. About a month ago I started facing an issue where LrC won't open a new catalog on my system unless I reboot the computer fully. In practice, that means I have to reboot the computer any time I'm trying to switch between projects. I don't receive an error message - LrC just never launches. Any thoughts? Windows 10 64 bit - could this be a windows 10 issue? Should I just update to 11 with support life cycle ending this yearLrC 14.5.1

I am unable to save preference changes - I suspect the "Done" button is at the very bottom of some page, which I can't get to as the page can only be moved up a couple of cm.This is on an HP laptop, 15" screen

Hi there.  I have used LR Classic for years. I am on a PC laptop. I have LR verson 14.5..1 Yesterday evening, I closed the lid to my laptop and left for church. When I came back, Lightroom was shut down and would not load. I rebooted, tried again. Nothing. I uninstalled, rebooted, then installed again from the Creative cloud.  Rebooted, then tried to load.  Nothing. A mentor advised to delete a .LCK file. Did that. rebooted. Still nothing. I really need to have LR working as I'm working on an album which is due before next week. Please help!

My last post got flagged for spam so hopefully this goes through.       I am experiencing a wierd bug where whenever I try to use the denoise tool on my photos, the box gets a checkmark like it's going to process the image, but then it just quickly unchecks itself without giving me any kind of error message. I've tried eliminating all the easy fixes that I could think of. Whenever I restart lightroom, the denoise tool will make more progress but only really lasts a few more second before it stops itself without giving me an error message. I'm running the 14.5.1 version of lightroom on my sequoia 15.7.1  2020 mac book pro with well over the ram requirements. I am editing cannon raw files with no other edits made to them before attempting to denoise. I tried resetting lightrooms preferences, turning the denoise tool on and off, and even creating a new photo catalog. Nothing has fixed the issue and my workflow has been completely disrupted. I have no other im

I've encountered an issue in Lightroom Classic (version 14.1.1) on Mac OS 15.2.0 when using the \ key to toggle between edited and unedited states of a photo. After importing an .xmp file with previously saved edits into the RAW folder and syncing the metadata, the \ key no longer displays the original, unedited version of the photo as it did before.Below are the detailed steps to reproduce the issue, along with the expected behavior and what actually happens. To illustrate the problem, I’ve also included a link to a video demonstration:https://youtu.be/jZCF08MaPb0Has anyone else experienced this or found a solution?Steps to Reproduce:Import a photo into the application.Make some adjustments to the photo.Press the \ key to view the "before" version of the photo (i.e., without edits).Place an .xmp file containing previously saved edits into the RAW folder and import the metadata from the .xmp file.Press the \ key again to view the "before" version.Issue:After importing the met

I have LRc v14.5.1 running & iPhone 15 Pro w/iOS 26 (previously iOS 18) with a high-speed data USB C cable (I've used different ones actually).It is running on a Win11 PC w/i9 14gen CPU & 4070 GPU w/32gig data on Samsung 9100 SSD.I have a large number of photos (7000) that I wanted to import into LRc.I ran it many times in iOS 18 but LRc failed and sometimes just died.I tried it again (several times) in iOS 26 and it each time LRc just failed and died. Now each time it importanted a few some number of pictures. (anywhere from 500 to 1500) before it died. It gave No error report, nothing, just closed itself down. Is there anyway to do a simple import directly from a iPhone of a large number of files?

Hallo zusammen, ich habe seit einigen Wochen ein Problem mit der Backup-Funktion in Lightroom. Die Software versucht einmal pro Woche, ein Backup zu erstellen, doch es kommt immer die gleiche Fehlermeldung: „Andere Sicherungsordner auswählen“. Ich habe bereits verschiedene Ordner ausgewählt und sichergestellt, dass ich die nötigen Berechtigungen habe, aber das Problem bleibt bestehen. Wenn ich die Option „Erneut versuchen“ wähle, erscheint die Meldung wieder, und ich kann kein Backup durchführen. Ich habe auch versucht, Lightroom neu zu starten und die Voreinstellungen zurückzusetzen, aber das hat nicht geholfen. Hat jemand ähnliche Erfahrungen gemacht oder Vorschläge zur Lösung des Problems? Vielen Dank für eure Hilfe!

I'm trying to do tethered capture with my Canon R8 in Lightroom Classic. However, LR recognizes the camera and displays a preview on the screen. Only when I click on the photo does it not save to the folder I selected, and the photo doesn't appear on my computer screen either. I'm using the recommended cable. Can anyone help?   [moved to the correct community and from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]

Lightroom is giving me a ton of errors. Over the past couple of weeks, its gotten progressively slower and slower. To the point where I am sitting here on Wednesday and Sunday's wedding is STILL importing, and I've shot 3 clients since then that are waiting to be uploaded and backed up - I need these images off my cards.   I'm using LRC on a PC, and just upated to the latest version as of October 7, 2025.   When I right click an image, the meny takes almost a full minute or two to pop up.  When I use syncronize settings (lets say, to apply the same exposure to a set of photos), it takes forever to give me options.     I have my catalogue synched to LR. Edited a whole set of photos on LR Mac only to find that LRC can't see them.   For lack of better explanation - it is like LRC is constipated.    I've updated my NVIDIA to the most recent studio, GPU is on I hit CTRL ALT DELETE and turned Lightroom's priority to High   300GB free on my PC... &

Hi everyone: I'd like to upgrade my storage to a 2 bay RAID (6TB each bay) setup to store RAW files and act as a backup. I'm a serious amateur, 79/Z lenses, about 77,000 images, about 2TB of storage required, I've attached a couple of recent images for fun (not relevent to this inquiry).  I've seen quite a few hardware options from Synology, Sandisk, WD, etc and read a bunch of reviews but hoped that some members here might have some real world experience and could recommend a brand/model that is fast and reliable. I'l less price sentive I was good, not cheap. Thanks in advance for any help you might to offer. Colin  

I've seen many posts/tutorials suggesting that increasing the size of the camera raw cache is beneficial to performance. Mine is currently set to 30gb but never seems to grow above 10gb even during a heavy editing session.Curious if anyone else who increased the cache size has seen the increase approach the limit they set? 

Bonjour , je ne sais pas exactement depuis quand mais surement depuis la dernière mise à jour la réduction du bruit par IA ne marche plus . Cela me donne une image en noir et blanc parsemée de couleur voir capture d'écran ci dessous  . J ai aussi essayé la fonctionnalité super résolution qui me fait des bandes de pixels noir sur la photo également mais beaucoup plus discret . Il y a t il une raison pour ce problème ?  ( je vous mets également les infos sur mon PC en capture d'écran ) 

Hi, I have just bought the machine above.  I am very disappointed with its performance with Lightroom CC.  I was previously running Lightroom CC on a 7 year old HP Envy and can not really see much of a difference in the performance of either machine.  Any tips would be most appreciated... thank you...
