Questions

Just a conversation. Over the years of color workflow I have experienced a lot of confusion and mixed results trying to manage my color output. I spent a lot of time getting the correct icc's, making sure my management was properly setup and doing test prints until I was able to WYSIWYG for photographs. These days it just all seems to work better? But what I really dont get is why? I have lots of different paper stock and I am not using any icc's and the print workflow is very basic-but the proof is that the prints tend to look great on the first )or sometimes second) try.  I still feel the page setup-printer setting-print dialog-print configuration is all way to cumbersome, but again the prints look good?  Why?

Hey there, I have recently created a preset using the Spyder Color Checker. I'm trying to apply said preset to all 200 images of the series other than by selecting each individually and clicking the preset. I've been working with LR since 10 years now, so I'm asking myself what's going on.I have found all sorts of (outdated) guides on how to achieve this, since the logical way via "Sync" doesn't seem to work - via Develop module, Quick Develop etc. Once I click any other image than the "root" image to check, no matter what I sync, the preset isn't being applied automatically. I just can't believe this can be that difficult. Please help. Thank you!Win 10, most recent version of LR, 14.2 release,  the build of which for some reason I can't copy from the popup

Hi there   I am on OSX MOnterey and use Lightroom Classic. Yesterday I was closing Lightroom and while save the catalog, Lightroom crashed. Unfortunately, the catalog is not there anymore. After re-opening Lightroom is says: "Cannot find catalog at /Users/myuser/Pictures/Lightroom/mycatalog.lrcat"   The folder "/Users/myuser/Pictures/Lightroom/Backups" does not contain any data. Somehow everything seems to be deleted (I did not delete anything). I tried to recover the missing ".lrcat" file using data recovery tools such as "Wondershare", "EaseUs", "Disk Drill" but none of these can find my catalog. Any idea what happened and how I can recover my catalog?

To be clear, I'm referring to the File | Plug-in Extras | Process with Topaz Photo AI, (not the right-click contextual "Edit in Topaz Photo AI")I use this plug-in frequently and would like to create a keyboard shortcut.  I'm using macOS 15.3 (Sequoia) and LrC 14.2. Thanks!

Whenever i select a mask for a subject it makes the subject go dark (this is not the mask overlay), if i come out of the mask selection the subject stays dark until i delete the mask. This is making editing very difficult. Please help

Pour libérer de l'espace sur le disque dur de mon iMac  je voudrais pouvoir modifier et sauvegarder mes fichiers photos Lightroom à partir d'un disque SSD externe. Actuellement, j'ai 90,000 photos pour un poids de 1.42 To. Que me conseillez vous?

My lightroom classic has been fine. Today, I cannot open up my smart folders though! Help! 

I have this issue but without having any other maskes applied to the photo. In fact I completely reset the edit, to make sure of it, but the outline still remains. Has anyone come accross this?  [Branched off from another thread by moderator, because it is not the same issue as that thread]

I always compare photos in front of a client in the survey mode.  The client then moves a favourite photo into the next star rating .  So out of a batch of say  four in the survey mode i click on a photo say 2* and it used to just move that one photo into the two star folder.  Easy. Now - its putting all the photos highlighted in the survey mode  into the two star folder  WHY??

Hello. I've read some other topics about issues like mine but nothing that a i've tried worked for me. First of all, sorry for my bad english. The problem is that Images look very different between devolp and library modules. I'm using windows 11, lightroom classic 13.2,  an LG monitor ultrawike 29" 29wk600 model with  AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT video adapter importing using 1:1 previews and it doesn't matter what I try to do differente, the difference between the imagens in the modules are so different. In develop imagens looks sharper and with more texture as the example below: (first one from  develop and the second from library). Other example (first one from develop and second one from library) What do you think should I do to solve this, please? Thank you!

Hi, Two nights ago I had a serious problem. I quit and backed up my Lightroom Classic catalog (as I always do) after around 2 hours of sorting photos (over the past 2 months I have compiled 66,000 images and put them into folders). When I tried to open Lightroom again (to make my second backup on an external hard drive), the catalog was gone. The Lightroom start window opened, but all I could see on the screen was my second catalog (that I had transferred from LR 6). I am using LR 10.1. / MAC OS Catalina 10.15.7/ 2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5/ 16 GB 3733 MHz LPDDR4X/ Intel Iris Plus Graphics 1536 MB (I might not find the right terms, sorry, I’m not a native speaker and my Lightroom menu is in a different language too). I then tried several times to open one of my catalog backups, to no avail. After restarting my computer twice and many attempts to open one of the Lightroom backups, there were suddenly 3 LR icons (blue LRC Cat + Helper+Previews) on my desktop and the cata

Hello, in a file lua, by a command, how can i get the imagepath of a selected image in lightroom:I selected images by:local images = catalog:getTargetPhotos()and now i need to get the images paths Thank you  

When I set the Limit aspect ratio for one picture, I can lock it by clicking the lock icon or press a while in 'R-Mode'.But I cannot set it as before to 'for all locked'. It is always after import in unlock Mode.I not even can sync it. When I set one picture to locked, than select a second picture and use the sync function, than both pics are unlocked after this action.Also I cannot save it into a preset. I need this 'always locked' ratio after import!

I got few panorama shots in which my prefered photo just need more background from the previous or next shots, but everytime I create Panorama, LR use my least favorite shot as the main picture and build the rest around it.  Besides of Photoshop, is there a way to force LR to use one particular image as the main canvas to build the panorama around it? 

Bonjour.   Depuis plusieurs mois, Lightroom Classique ne synchronise plus. J'ai essayé de nombreuses fois de dépanner selon les conseils trouvé sur Adobe et sur internet et aucuns résultats. En janvier le sevice de dépannage Adobe a essayé pendant deux jours de trouver une solution, mais aucunes améliotation. Ils ont aussi pris le contrôle à distance de mon ordinateur pour dépanner, mais rien n'a changé. J'ai génégé un dossier LrSyncDiagnostic.zip pour consultation et qui peut m'aider pour savoir que faire?   Merci beaucoup pour votre aide je désespère. Bonne journée.

I import my files from my camera's always to the same location. Then I edit them and when they are ready I move them fron that location to a location that suited for them. So al bird files go to the bird file location.   About 50% of the time it goes alright but in the other 50% of the time lightroom moves the files to the right location on the harddisk but tells that it was not possible and according Lightroom the files weren't moved at all but gives a location error.   I know how to correct it but it is annoying as hell and takes alot of time to correct it. Am I the only one who has this problem or an more people have this?I never see that Adobe mentioned this problem let alone they solved it.I have an other question. Is there a way in Lightroom to check the health of the libary so you can files other misplaced or mismoved files.Hope that somebody can give me a satisfying answer to solve this. Regards Han

Probleem met Lightroom Classic: Als ik in de ontwikkelmodule een masker aanmaak en een object geselecteerd krijg, krijg ik bij overlay niet alleen het geselecteerde object weergegeven, maar een groter gebied in de vorm van een rechthoek; ook als ik een persoon geselecteerde krijg een rechthoekige ipv de persoon. Ik heb Lightroom Classic verwijderd en opnieuw aanbevolen en ook een keer een vorige versie daarvan, maar niets helpt. Andere maskers werken wel zoals lineair en radiaal verloop, penseel, achtergrond, onderwerp. wie kan mij helpen? Ik heb versie 14.2       [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

System Windows Home 11 (all updates installed) Lightroom Classic 14.2 Issue: Every JPG image that I try to save as Tiff using Topaz Software, NIK Software or Saving As... Tiff from Photo Shop the Tiff image appears at the LRC Library Module but it is not saved into the LRC Catalog. It only happens when I use a JPG image as a source. Always appears as a missing image. The issue only happens with JPG images as originals, I did try with CR3 and PSD and does not happen.   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

I took a bunch of photos using my cell phone while on a trip last week.  I copied the files to a folder on my computer and then tried to import them into LRC.  The folder has 96 photos in it, I selected all photos to be imported.  My import settings show the following:Do not import suspected duplicates - OffImport into sub folders and organize by date When I look at the destination it shows the new sub folder with 3  sub folders which are the dates.  So far so good but here is my issue, the number of photos that it shows will be in each subfolder only add up to 25 not the 96 that I selected.  Why?  I checked everything that I can think of but have been unable to resolve the issue. I am attaching 2 screen shots showing what I mean.

Hallo,Vorabinfo ich arbeite mit Lightroom Classic Version 14.2. auf einem Desktop Rechner mit Windows 11  pro. Ich habe am Wochenende mit dem Entwicklungstool ca 300 Bilder bearbeitet - vor allem im Tonwert (Lichter und Tiefen und in der Präsenz (Struktur, Klarheit, Dynamik). Habe mir dann ein Sammlung erstellt undwar in der Bibliothek, um mir die gnzen Bilder nochmals in der Übersicht anzuschauen. In der Ad-hoc-Entwicklung habe ich dann bei den gespeicherten Presets ein bestimmtes Preset gelesen und habe kurz nicht nachgedacht und gedacht, ich müsse dort standart eintragen... Gedacht, getan und dann hab ich schnell gemerkt, dass ja alle Bilder letzlich zurückgesetzt wurden. Rückgängig machen mit "Control+ Z" ging nicht und auch über "Bearbeiten - Rückgängige Modulbearbeitung" passierte nichts. Bei Adobe hatte keiner eine Idee, aber das kann ja nicht sein, bei so einem weitentickelten Tool, dass ich nicht zur letzten Entwicklungsstufe zurückkomme?! Wer kann mir helfen? DANKE! Grüß

Ontem apareceu uma nova atualização do LR e depois disso as miniaturas da aba Revelação e todas as imagens da aba Biblioteca não carregam mais. Estava dando erro de processador gráfico, mas eu consegui atualizar o driver da Intel e o erro não aparece mais, porém o problema persiste.Instalei versões antigas, falei no suporte da Adobe e usei o Cleaner Tool deles pra desinstalar tudo da Adobe e instalar novamente e nada. Um funcionário do suporte americano da Adobe ficou 1h remotamente no meu computador e também não resolveu (vão passar para um nível mais avançado de atendimento e me ligar na segunda-feira).Não sei mais o que pode ser. Já revirei a internet e nada. Alguém consegue me ajudar?

To those with large megapixel cameras (ie. 60+ mgapxl) did you find that you need have a higher amount of sharpening to get the same sort of sharpness as you would from your lower 20+ megapixel cameras? (I ask because I was reading a Scott Kelby book who suggested this course of action) — If so, this then leads me to ask does that mean my panoramas (with more detail than a standard standalone photo) will also need higher amount of sharpening too? cheers

Im not sure if this is the right forum, but this is a big problem for me. I can't find a solution for this: I have the latest LightRoom Classic 14.2 on my MacBook Pro M4 15.3.2. My Camera a Nikon D7000 with a GPS module, and I can read the GPS information in the cameras view of the picture, so the GPS information is there.I then import to LightRoom Classic (copy to DNG on a drive). I have marked ALL regarding my Metadata import setings But the GPS info after the import is Blank. There is no GPS-info at the picture. Is it impossible to import GPS-data to an DNG-file perhaps?  Any ideas?
