Reproduction (probably only on my catalog)I select the image, select a "normal" JPG export to Disk (RMB -> Export -> Export...). The progress bar at the top appears but never finishes.The file is never written to disk (but if the options say it should be placed in a subfolder, that subfolder is created). The export works fine with other files in the same folder from the same source, with similar edits, etc. This only happens on 5 files out of ~100 from the same camera/phone and ~175 in the same folder. But it's only with the same camera. Things I have tried so farExport to different folder and even drivesRename the fileChange the quality & metadata settings (everything else is off anyway)Change the output format to PNGTurn off and/or force GPU export Strange things I have noticed with these filesI cannot create virtual copies. Instead I get the following error message:Sadly, I cannot resize the window or select the text inside it. Is there a way to get the full

Hello,I'm having a problem with Lightroom. When I name people, for one person it gives me 2 "keywords" when there is only one. I don't know why. It goes the same in "faces" and in "keywording tab"... Please why?  Thank you

Hi Community, I'm desperately hoping someone here can help after spending 2 hours on a chat with Adobe support and getting nowhere. What happened is that I inadvertently deleted an entire folder of ~300 photos from disk through Lightroom CC. I restored the files from my trash can along with their corresponding XMP files. All files are now back in the original location. I re-synched the folder to bring back the deleted files. However, none of my edits have been restored, causing me hours of lost work. My understanding is that my edits would be contained in the XMP sidecar files but I can't seem to figure out how to access it. Any assistance from the community would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

  Hi everyone,I really need help here. I recently moved all my files from my external 5TB drive (E:) to a new 8TB internal SSD (C:) that I just installed to replace the original 1TB drive in my laptop.At first, when I opened Adobe Lightroom, things seemed fine. Some folders showed the "?" icon, but I was able to repoint them to the new location on the C: drive, and they appeared to work normally.But then I made a huge mistake: I moved the folders that contained all of my Lightroom catalog files (including the .lrcat files) to the C: drive as well. After that, everything disappeared. When I open any of my catalog files now:There’s no folder tree on the left panel.No thumbnails or previews.No “?” icons, so I can’t even repoint missing files.It’s like the catalog is completely empty, even though the .lrcat files still have size and aren’t corrupted (as far as I can tell).I even tried copying the catalog folders back to the E: drive where they originally were, but the same issue

Good morning all,Recently upgraded my monitor (3440x1440) and have also upgraded my GPU (4070 Super) but since doing so, Lightroom runs at an incredibly slow speed. It doesn't load thumbnails during import, and even when imported, there's no thumbnails.   I've done everything I can think of, including rolling back to 12.5 and doing an entirely fresh install of 14.0.1, but still, there's not difference.It almost paints the window in brushstrokes when loading as well.   Thank you so much for your help Please see my system info below.

Adobe Lightroom Classic: Importing LR catalogues to existing one - import issue  Hey everybody, I need help and can't find anything in the internet. I edit all my pictures in Lightroom Classic and have one master catalogue. One day I thought it would be clever to create new catalogues from time to time, as they can grow quite large. However, this was not a good idea. Since them I have trouble to update them or to merge the catalogues again.I finally managed to update my old catalogue to the latest version, however I still have issues to import / merge the rest of my photos into my master catalogue. I have merged about 80%, but then I always get the same issue, it basically says "Lightroom could not import this catalogue because an unknown error occurred." (in German "Lightroom konnte diesen Katalog nicht importieren, da ein unbekannter Fehler aufgetreten ist.")I searched the internet, but issues are often: old computer, not enough storage/RAM, outdated LR software, catalogues in c

While consolidating my cataloges into a single catalogue, I encountered an "Unknown Error", which stopped the import. File > Import from another Catalogue.   After about 2 days of investigation and fixes, these are my findings:   Issues were from catalogue entries in 2022 and 2023.   Possible causes incluce: - stacked images (I unstacked them all) - xxx.dng images created when using denoise, either Adobe or DXO (I removed all .dng images from my catalogues, but left them on disk so I could import them later) - xxx.tif images (these may not be an issue, removed them as with the .dng images just in case)   Other possible suspects: - previews (remove all previews Library > Previews > Disgard xxx previews)   After doing all this I managed to import all my older cataloges into a new consolidated catalogue.   One way to identify what is causing the issue by splitting your problem catalogues into smaller catalogues. Another solution is to just keep impor

Thanks for your help in advance. I've never had too many issues with Lightroom Classic other than operator error, but lately renaming photo's has become painfully slow. Even renaming one photo can take 12 - 15 seconds. My importing and exporting of pictures works great. I'm not the strongest on Lightroom, but I've tried to do what I can. So far I've checked for updates, turned off cloud sync and optimized the catalog. Thanks..!!

Ever since I downloaded Lightroom Classic (version 14.2) on my new macbook (Apple M2 Pro 2023) I have problems with importing photos from my Nikon D800.When Importing, some thumbnails show up but the rest remains grey, no matter how long I wait. When clicking import it just says "importing" without actually importing.I tried de-installing and reinstalling without migrating former catalogs or presets, to see if it works with a clean slate. The problem still remains.Similar threads suggesting deactivating GPU support, tried this, but it doesn't solve it.Importing DNG files from an external hard drive does work.What to do?  

For some reason, everytime I try to use AI on LrC, it crashes and I have to close and reopen the program to continue using it. The way it crash is that it wont hsow me the settings I do on the picture. It will only show me on the preview in the left corner and it also wont cut the picture. But its only when I use AI, for example masks and lens blur. At first it was only when I tried to use lens blur, but now it also does the same when I try to use AI masks. So annoying and it makes my work go slower, because I always have to close and then reopen the program. I hope someone in here can help me! The system info is:Lightroom Classic version: 14.2 [ 202502071718-3869eef7 ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: enOperating system: Windows 10 - Home Premium EditionVersion: 10.0.19045Application architecture: x64System architecture: x64Logical processor count: 12Processor speed: 3,9GHzSqLite Version: 3.36.0CPU Utilisation: 19,0%Power Source: Plugged InBuilt-in memory: 24512,6 MBDedica

Hi there.  Never had an issue renaming my images before; I have my custom file naming set up as always.  When I go to rename, it somehow changes the star rating on it and the image disappears to a lower star rating.  It's looking like the original file name suffix option for renaming isn't working and it glitches and does something else??  Been using LR since it was built, so this is weird...this particular instance is post PS editing a tif...not sure that has anything to do with it.   Has anyone experienced this?  Is there troubleshooting I can do?  I work in volume, so this needs to get fixed asap....thank you in advance!Astri

Recently LC is no longer importing images.  I have tried to import directly from a CF card or SD card, also by copying to my hard drive first and then importing from hard drive, either way the import process shows the images to be imported but when I import all that shows in LC is grey boxes.  The import shows that the images were imported but the grey boxes do not respond to any develop or other module views.I currently have more than 30,000 images in my LC catalog.I am using an Apple Mac Studio running Sonoma 14.6 and LC 14.2.What is happening? How can I fix this?

Hello, all my settings are on Dutch (Nederlands). Still, when i open photoshop and lightroom classic, they present in English. I followed the selfstudieguide, but when i open the app-side, i can't set any settings for in stalling.Is there anybody who can help me???

When I want to select the teeth of an entire group and I go to > Create Mask > Select People > All People and then select Teeth I get a terrible unusable mask. But if I go in an manually select each person lightroom detects one by one the mask is fine. It would save some time to not hae to manually select each one and just do all, but the all people doesnt make good mask when selecting teeth. Its been that way since day one of this feature and hasn't gotten any better over time. Seems like there is some kind of bug preventing the proper mask to be created when using all people. Is there any reason why this should work this way? Thanks!

Seit ich einen neuen Mac Mini M4 nutze kann ich keine Rauschreduzierung in LrC mehr durchführen. Das Vorschaubild blitzt nur kurz auf und verschwindet dann wieder, dann kommt im weiteren ein unbekannter Fehler. Kann mir jemand helfen?

I have been using my MacBook Pro  for all of my editing. I keep my RAW files on an external SSD, but the catalog is on the laptop harddrive.I will be getting a Mac desktop for home; I want to have the same LR Classic  catalog for both computers and will continue to have all of my RAW files on external SSD.1. Am I correct that having the  LR Classic catalog also on the SSD will allow me to see all of my edits seamlessly on either computer once I have the same SSD plugged in?2. Please tell me how to move the catalog to the SSD?  Do I simply copy and paste? 3. There are several components to the catalog; do I copy all of them? Thank you for your help!Theresa

LR 2015.12 / CR 9.12 / Build 1125239 on Windows 10When editing a photo in the Develop Module, I occasionally tab and shift-tab between values to quickly enter/change them, specifically the Presence (Clarity/Vibrance/Saturation) values. Sometimes when I do this, I get stuck into an infinite loop of modal error dialog boxes which is super annoying.When the bug occurs, a grid appears on my photo, and the text box for entry next to "Distortion" appears enabled with focus, but I can't type anything in the box. Every time this text box loses focus, I get stuck in an infinite loop of modal dialogs popping up with "Invalid Numeric Entry. A number between 0 and 200 is required. Last value inserted." Unfortunately because the box is disabled, there is no last value, and focus continually returns to the disabled field I can't type anything into. Wash, rinse, repeat. I can't disable or collapse anything in the Develop module sidebar to pop focus back to an enabled text entry box.Workaround:Before

I have been using lightroom for years now and don't believe I've ever had this issue before.. When I upload my images, i go into develop, and some of my images will flicker green right as they are uploading and then its fine, no other issues after that.. I have opened the same images in photoshop, and also looked at them through preview and don't have the problem. So not sure whats going on?
