This is a bit of a weird one. I was importing all the images off my SD-card, and for the most part it worked just like usual. About 700 images on the card, half of which had been imported on a previous occasion. Other half was being imported for the first time. Suddenly I saw that an image I took almost half a year ago appeared in "previous import" together with the new photos, and after a quick double-check I discovered that one image was missing in the place where this old photo appeared. There's a decent chance the old photo was taken on the same SC card, but the card had been reformated at least five times since then. Other than being taken with the same camera, the two files has completely different metadata including different file names. I tried to import the missing photo again and could see the thumbnail for the missing photo on the import screen and select it, but when I imported I got the same old photo instead. I was able to reproduce the bug several more times, even after

In Lightroom Mobile it says I have about 6700 files synched. Almost all of these are full size RAW files synched from Lightroom Classic on my Mac. It is also indicated that I am using only 2.7 GB of my 1 TB of cloud storage.  How is this possible?  I don't think Adobe does a very good job of explaining how their cloud storage works with their Mac and iPadOS apps.  Maybe I`m dense, but each article I read gets me more confused. Also: I was synching file from LR classic yesterday.  When I went to bed the app indicated that 450 files were still uploading.  I left the Mac on and the settings were set to prevent sleep while synching.  When I got up this morning it still said 450....WTF?

Okay, here's an odd one. I'm making a slide show in LR. All Photos & music are original. No copies or copyright issues. Somewhere in the slideshow, after playing for about 10 seconds, one of the songs will just start over from the beginning. I've tried moving the songs up & down the queue and this might fix the problem for one song but then the problem shows up in a different song. I am using 10 songs to fill the full 30 minutes. Anybody ever hear of this?

I think this is a bug, but I'd love to help and try and be useful, so if there is anything I can do to help pinpoint the issue please say. I'm running Lightroom Classic 13.2 (so camera raw 16.2) on Windows 11 (22H2). Previously images from my Lumix G9 Mark II have looked great (annoyingly I don't know when "previously" means, but definitely this was true in late Jan 2024), but now they look flat and desaturated. This is true of old images that I took that previously looked good, and new images. I've tried opening in other raw processing software (including the absolutely awful PhotoFunStudio that Panasonic provide) and the images look way more alive in them. None of the Lightroom (Adobe or camera matching) profiles get there. Camera matching "standard" is closest, but still much flatter. How can I help check if this is a bug, a deliberate choice or me being silly?   

Quando cerco di utilizzare la riduzione disturbo su un file, la finestra con le possibili opzioni/regolazioni e l'anteprima dell'immagine modificata non appare in primo piano.Lo strumento funziona ugualmente perché schiacciando il tasto TAB e poi INVIO si genera il file NDG con la denominazione MIGLIORATO.

I have just fished updating LrC in connection wtih buying a new Mac mini. After the update I imported a folder with photos but they appear in a new "photo" folder. I have attached a screenshot with the new folder and subfolder above the "old" just containing a test folderI have all my photos on a shared network drive on a Synology NAS - the shared drive is the "parent folder" for all my subfolders. When I reveal in finder both the "new" and the "old" shared drive points to the same shared drive in finder. The same applies regarding single photos.Why does LrC see 2 versions of the same shared drive and why does it suddenly decide to link new imports to the "new" shared drive? .... and does anyone have a solution to solve the problem?Thanks in advanceCarsten - Denmark

Hi guys,1. My Adobe Lightroom just updated to 14.3. But 2 unexpected things happened - not sure why or at what point: when I open my Library in the usual way from the dock a) I find that the last image available to me is from 3.26.25 instead of from less than a few days ago and, b) a large number of thumbnails are greyed out and hard to re-link.2. But If I click on my LR external drive in Finder then on Lightroom Cat & Image Files, I find folders listed vertically that mirror those in my Library.3. And if I click on any of these folders and drill down to where I can click on an image file, I find that every last one of my latest images is included and that it is fully clickable.4. That tells me that all my images are safe, complete with adjustments.5. So how do I get it all to work as intended when I click open Lightroom from the dock?Thanks a lot.

When assigning a color label to a photo, it is not showing in Develop Filmstrip nor Grid in Library. I have the option checked to tint cell with color label.(it has worked flawlessly in the past, all of a sudden it has stopped)Running Sequoia 15.3.2

Bonjour, je suis sur Lightroom Classic et l’histogramme ne s’affiche plus en arrière-plan de la courbe à points. Je n’ai trouvé aucun moyen de le rétablir. Merci de votre aide.   {Moved from Lightroom Cloud to Lightroom Classic Forum by Moderator} 

Having issues with exposure 7 after latest update. At first I couldn't export. I got it working again, but it only allowed me to import back to Lightroom Classic twice then would not give me the finish button any more to allow the import. Any ideas what happened?

I went on a safari shoot and have keyworded each picture by animal.  I have no issue building a Smart collection for "Zebra" or one for "Wildebeest", but can't figure out how to build a single collection containing "Zebra" or "Wildebeest" (i.e. all pictures of either animal).  Every attempt is limited to those pictures that have both keywords.What am I missing?Thanks 

Changes to the LR 14.3 SDK compared to the LR 14.0 SDK: Lightroom Classic SDK Programmers Guide -- Adobe Acrobat says there are no substantive changes. API Reference LrApplication- shutdown()Exits Lightroom. LrSelection- removeFromCatalog ()Removes the selected photos from the catalog.

I have created a droplet in PS based on a bunch of actions I like to run on my images. I've added it to LRC, I can see it in User Presets, but when I go to use it, I am getting an error. This used to run well on my older laptop. Help please!

Hi,  I am new on here so please forgive me if I am posting in the wrong place. I not sure if this has been discussed but I am wanting to cull using voice commands. I have been able to set a voice command to skip from one image to the next by saying next however I want to star rate & say "no" & for it to rate it as a one for instance. I have tried this but when I say no I get a noise but nothing happens. If anyone can help me out on this it would be much appreciated. I have found one youtube video on this topic but for the star ratting it isnt working & I have tried to follow his steps. Kinfd regards Phil.

I have 8TB photo and video library on a local QNAP Server. And a 3.5Gb LRC Catalog on Macos 18gb m3 laptop. Adding new pictures to the catalog is a pain in the a**. Everytime I add 200/500 photos the "Import files at their current location" message stills forever (at least 45 minutes).  I tried SMB, AFP and smoke signals :). How this escenario has to be done? only usb-c local hard drives scenario is valid to avoid these slow working of LRC? which options did you find to get better performance. Best Regards,Ariel

I'm trying to help my wife and frustrated how slow LR Classic is during import and collection creation. My wife had 4 photo sessions yesterday with more than 2,500 photos in total. The import and collection creation process took a very long time.   Here's are system details from LR Classic. Plus, our internet is 500 Mbps up/down. Plus, I was watching Windows Taskmanager with any individual resource (drives, memory, network) not exceeding 10% utilization and the processor peaking at 50%. I cannot figure out what is taking so insanely long.

For the past few weeks, I have been facing an issue where Lightroom classic 14.2 is not creating 1:1 previews in the same folder as my catalog. The previews seem to be saved somewhere on my local drive, which is inconvenient when generating previews for a few thousand images, as it takes up a lot of space. Additionally, after closing and reopening Lightroom, all previews are lost, and I need to recreate them when I want to use them. I also tried to fix this by creating a new catalog, but I faced the same issue.

Since Lightroom classic has updated so I no longer need to change to Rosetta to tether, I'm having so many issues. It will not detect my camera without having to switch off the MacBook and make 20 attempts to get it to connect. And then when it does connect it will suddenly disconnect and I'm unable to get it to reconnect. My colleague is having the same issues. We've tried new tether cables and nothing works. canon 5d mkiv, MacBook Pro m1 Anyone else having these issues and found a workaround? 

When i make a mask of any type, the subject is highlighted in red, per my settings. However, the part of the image selected turns black and white and stays that way regardless of the overlay mode.  Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi guys, Ejecting drives is a problem because there's almost always a notification that they weren't properly ejected - although they were, even when I pull the cable out after I shut down my Macbook computer.   Any ideas? Thanks a lot.

Running Lightroom classic version 13.1 on m1 macbook pro on Mac OS Sonoma 14.3 and every time File > Tethered Capture > Start tethered capture and Press Ok, the application crashes. This happens both with and without a camera connected. My lightroom version is up to date and this crash happens everytime without fail. I've tried clearing the preferences and uninstalling/reinstalling the app as well. Has anyone experienced this? What's the resolution?

Just tried to use the map module and get a report it hasnt loaded correctly and to refer to the Java Script Console, which is no help to me.  Any suggestions?  Tried re-booting but no joy.  Using Windows 11 latest and latest Lightroom Classic..

Anyone encounter this error? Or any fix for it? I am currently using the latest version of LRC
