Questions

Ik wil de integriteit van de catalogus van LRC testen.Ik kom er niet uit met de beschrijving van Adobe.Waar vind ik het dialoogvenster voorkeuren, dit moet te vinden zijn ALVORENS LRC op te starten.

Hello,  My photo edits over multiple project folders have gone missing after doing a reinstall of lightroom.  I do have backups of the catalog but non of them seem to recover my photo edits, it only seems to retain the my custom presets.  Please let me know if there is a way to recover my photo edits.  Your help is much appreciated. Lightroom version 15.4

In the Remove tool, there’s the healing and clone stamp tool which have to have a source. In previous versions if you hold down cmd on mac, and you drag the point, you can determine where the source should be exactly. And the original point where the healing takes place should show a preview of the source. In Lightroom Classic 15.4 when you hold down cmd and then drag the pointer of the heal or clone, you can not see the preview, only if you let go of the mouse. I attached a screenshot, it clearly shows that the healing doesn’t update the preview of the source.How it should work: It should display the preview of the source as it worked in previous versions.Software: Lightroom Classic 15.4Hardware: M1 Max MacBook Pro

Stepping from photo to photo in develop module is still very slow. Also there’s a bug in the Healing and Clone Stamp tool, where you press cmd and drag, the preview doesn’t show up like it used to.

I recently got an external hard drive (24TB) to store my photos, since my MacBook only has 1TB. I set the hard drive up through Lightroom since that is what the YouTube tutorials recommended. After set up (external showing in Lightroom), I moved over (drag & drop) roughly 3700 photos from my Macbook to the , which was roughly 200 GB on my Mac, my external is now showing full 23.7/24TB. What did I do wrong? And how can I fix this?

I’ve had this problem for awhile now and haven’t been able to find a solution.  On the import tab when attempting to import pictures it takes Lightroom classic forever to generate the thumbnails. I’m not talking about the previews that get built based on my choice during the import. I talking about the grid view where you can select which files to actually import.  I just tried on a sample of 280 pictures and it took the better part of 3 or 4 minutes to generate the thumbnails. Which is about as long as it takes to do the actual import AND generate 1:1 previews…  I’m shooting primarily a fujifilm XT5 with and only shoot .RAFLightroom version 13-3 (but has been happening for the better part of the last 2 years) I’ve got a very good homebuilt computer Intel Core i7-13700k (liquid cooled)RTX 4070 (GPU acceleration turned on)64 gigs of RAMHarddrive in question is a 30% full M.2 NVME SSD I previously bought a high end card reader and usb 3.0 cabling hoping this would help. Which is doesn’t.

My masking panel is basically gone. The default is that the panel opens separately from the other tools and thereby, sometimes, it will cover a part of your image. I grabbed the panel and drag & dropped it into the column with the other tools but cannot get it back out.  If I select >Tools >Create New Mask then it will open all the masking tools in the right column above all the other tools. However, it says “No Mask Selected” at the top in the grey bar. And, there isn’t a bar to ‘grab’ at the top and drag it back over onto the photo part of the screen. Has anyone seen this before? What is the fix? Thank You!

This is my post from nine years ago:  It’s STILL an issue  after the full rewrite of the plugin.  How de we get this addressed?  Capture One and Canon’s EOS Utility get this right.  Lightroom Classic does not. I’m using an EOSr5 in an M3 MacBookPro running 26.5.1

Lightroom Classic shows a message “corrupted catalogue” but is unable to restore (the system stalls). This is a very serious bug for a software that I use since years and >100.000 photos. Getting earlier versions from the backup does not help.I am using the latest version of Lightroom Classic and the latest Mac-OS operating system on a desktop Mac.

I only recently discovered the LrC ability to edit filenames during import.  However, LrC has no Filename Text Editor in the right pane of the import window. The two panes available are File Handling and Apply During Import.Adobe Help keeps referring to “Restoring Filename Editor in Adobe Learning Manager Desktop Application” but I have never used Adobe Learning Manager! I’m a newbie to LrC. Maybe I have missed something, or my search input is misworded but is there a human out there who knows how to solve this dilemma? I really could use this feature in  LrC.  Thanks.

I have two photos taken with two cameras only a few seconds apart. But the timezone of the cameras differ. This is correctly reflected in EXIF, but Lightroom fails to recognize this.The FIRST photo has the following relevant exif tags (as per exiftool -H -n):0x9003 Date/Time Original : 2026:03:29 16:52:550x9004 Create Date : 2026:03:29 16:52:550x9010 Offset Time : +01:000x9011 Offset Time Original : +01:000x9012 Offset Time Digitized : +01:00and Lightroom Classic’s getRawMetadata returnsdateTime = "796488775"dateTimeDigitized = "796488775"dateTimeDigitizedISO8601 = "2026-03-29T16:52:55+01:00"dateTimeISO8601 = "2026-03-29T16:52:55+01:00"dateTimeOriginal = "796488775"dateTimeOriginalISO8601 = "2026-03-29T16:52:55.000+01:00" now the SECOND photo has:0x9003 Date/Time Original : 2026:03:29 11:52:090x9004 Create Date : 2026:03:29 11:52:090x9010 Offset Time : -04:000x

As a result of the recent upgrade to v15.4, I "lost" over 4,000 photos that are "Missing", according to LRc. I have followed numerous on line recovery suggestions, but have been unable to make any of them work. Have others experienced an issue?

I updated LRC today from v15.3.1 to v15.4. Upon loading, it said my catalog was outdated and needed to be upgraded for this version. Afterward I opened the program, and while the edits still seem applied to the photos, each photo’s edits have been wiped from the History panel. I rolled back to v 15.3.1 and went to import the backup it made before upgrading (from the Old Lightroom Catalogs folder) but the backup zip has no .lrcat file in it. All the previous backup zips have their respective .lrcat files, so it appears Adobe broke both the upgraded catalog as well as the backup. My secondary backup is only recent up to a couple weeks ago so I will have lost a lot of work if I have to roll back to that one. I read in a Reddit thread from 2 years ago that v14 did the same thing to a lot of people, and Adobe quickly released a 14.1 hotfix that apparently fixed it. Hopefully they’ll correct this, just want to register the bug and see if anyone has any other solutions. The backup zip does ap

When searching my library I often use the metadata KEYWORD drop-down.  Instead of having to scroll through hundreds of keywords, it would be super helpful to have a text box into which I could type the keyword instead of scrolling.  Also, as an added bonus - have the feature begin preloading options from the list as the typing progresses. 

All four of the new filters that allow to filter by EXPORT status, STACK status, LIKES and COMMENTS need to be manually toggled off to disable them. None of these allows to select the NO FILTERS option from the drop-down menu to reset them, especially when combined with other filters. When any of these filters is enabled, the drop-down menu only shows choices CUSTOM FILTER (which this is), SAVE CURRENT SETTINGS AS NEW PRESET and RESTORE DEFAULT PRESETS.This is a bug or overlooked necessity. LR Classic 15.4 on Windows 11, all latest everything.  

Ever since LRC 15.2 I’m no longer able to create AI masks on any image. It starts to createthe mask then exists the mask creation with out creating the mask.  I’m on the latest build of LrC and have updated the drivers for my Nvidia 5020 GPU. I do not get the same behavior on Mobile. 

I added masks to about 140 photos yesterday, closed Lightroom Classic and when I reopened LrC, about 50 images had lost their masks; I can’t think of any steps that I had done to delete these masks, and I have .xmp files being created for all of my images, so I don’t understand how I lost the masks.I do have a fairly large (probably around 50,000’ish, could be more) collection of images on my hard drives, and my LrC catalogue is getting quite large (it takes a while to save); I’m not sure if this has affected LrC saving my masks. I’m a reasonably advanced LrC user, and this is the first time that this has happened to me (I’ve been using LrC extensively for about 3-4 years).Any reason why (like user error?) that I could have lost my masks?

The SDK call folder:getParent() raises the error "?:0: attempt to index field 'parent' (a nil value)" when called on the root folder of some catalogs on Windows -- it should return nil instead. To reproduce on LR 15.0.1 / Windows 11 ARM and Windows 11 Intel: 1. Download and uncompress this catalog folder:https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/t1gksh5hw2ov8g48tcca6/folder-getparent-bug.2025-11-20.zip?rlkey=kxqi5d5bx3tqcalrne14fyv2k&dl=0 2. Move the file "folder-getparent-bug.lua" from the catalog folder to the LR Scripts folder. 3. Start LR and open the catalog. 4. In the Scripts menu, invoke "folder-getparent-bug".  Observe this output: When tested on Mac OS 15.7.1, no error occurs:  Note that on Mac, the call to folder:getParent() returns 0 results rather than nil (though in most contexts, there's no difference).  

I only recently discovered the LrC ability to edit filenames during import.  However, LrC has no Filename Text Editor in the right pane of the import window. The two panes available are File Handling and Apply During Import.Adobe Help keeps referring to “Restoring Filename Editor in Adobe Learning Manager Desktop Application” but I have never used Adobe Learning Manager! Or “In Adobe Learning Manager, if the filename text editor is missing in the import window, it may be due to missing instructor assignment for the course instance” which makes no sense to me. Ok, I’m a newbie to LrC. Maybe I have missed something, or my search input is misworded but is there a human out there who knows how to solve this dilemma? I really could use this feature in  LrC.  Thanks.

I just updated to Lightroom Classic 14.0.1.  All develop history on edited photos is missing.  Is there a way to get the history back?

Well maybe high end is not the best word because its RTX 5060 but still this is not normal. So it goes like this. I open lightroom, i click on masks and detect people, detect sky etc, almost anything that requires AI. It completes normally but then after I switch to another image in develop preview and start using sliders or zooming in photo my whole pc starts to stutter so bad that only solution is to close lightroom and reopen it. If i have music in background it starts crackling, my mouse cursor starts to freeze and stutter, just unusable. AI things that trigger the problem:Masking but smart features like detect people, objects, sky etc. Super Resolution Lens BlurAI things that don’t trigger it:Remove tool DenoiseThings I noticed when problem starts:GPU memory fills to max, Lightroom system info reporting GPU memory is at 120% (is that normal ?)GPU usage jumping to 100% when zooming photo causing stutter to PCGPU memory doesnt go back it stays at max all the time even when AI job is

There is a recurring issue where the Loupe view displays an entirely incorrect image immediately following a folder import. Specifically, if a user enters the Loupe view before the initial preview fetching is complete, the view will load a cached image from a previous session - even if that image belongs to a folder that has already been removed from the catalog.While toggling between images can sometimes force the view to refresh, the incorrect preview sometimes gets “stuck”. This allows the user to browse the gallery in Loupe view and randomly see photos from long-gone folders, despite the thumbnails in the filmstrip displaying correctly. Steps to ReproducePrepare two folders containing a large number of high-resolution photos (to ensure preview generation takes a noticeable amount of time). Import the first folder into Lightroom Classic. Select any photo and press Spacebar to open it in Loupe view. Press G to return to the Grid view. Remove the first folder and its images from the L

Background: I was in the middle of restoring a Lightroom Classic catalog after a drive recovery. During the process, two folders got merged, let’s call them “June” and “July”.  Both folders exist correctly on my external drive.Current situation in Lightroom Classic 13.3:Only the June folder appears in the Folders panel It shows 1212 photos total — approximately 300 June images and 900 July images All images appear normal (no question marks or error badges), but they do have a white square that says Smart Preview.  All images have edits I need to preserve When I click "Show in Explorer" on a July image, it correctly shows the file in the July folder on disk But the metadata panel shows the June folder as the location When I try to drag July images to a different folder in LR, it says "All files selected are missing. No files can be moved."What I've already tried:Adding the July folder via Add Folder — resulted in 900 duplicate catalog entries, so I deleted the folderWhat I need:A safe w
