Questions

Good evening, After having tried pretty much everything I could find or think of, I'm calling for help from the community, out of despair  Since LR 14.4, I barely can develop my pictures anymore: The Develop interface is very slow / lagging, The changes I try to apply seem to be queued, and executed with a massive lag, However, the changes I apply are applied instantaneously in the Navigation preview,Sometimes I *can* work at normal speed, does not last, Cropping tool will make the photo disappear from the Develop windows, until I switch pic, or tool, and then i will sometimes Switching pictures will make the processing lagging immediately, Switching pictures may display the new photos totally mis formed for few seconds All this symptoms come and go, I could not find a pattern (Not helping to troubleshooting)   The dev tools are lagging too: If I switch from Color to B&W: I keep seeing the Color Mixer If I switch back to Color, I keep seeing the B&W tools The folde

I've just installed a brand new Wacom Intuos tablet and I'm experiencing a strange issue where lightroom won't complete a function until I lift the pen up out of the hover zone. For example, clicking the left mouse on the image would normally zoom in instantly. When I tap the pen on the image the icon changes from a magnifier to a hand but the image isn't zoomed in. I have to lift the pen away from the tablet before the zoom happens.The same thing happens if I hit a keyboard shortcut such as "k" to create a new brush mask. If the pen is in the hover zone of the tablet nothing happens, I have to lift it up. This happens if Windows Ink is turned on or off.I'm running windows 11, all updates installed, all drivers up-to-date. Lightroom Classic 14.2Also worth noting everything is working correctly in Lightroom 8.2

I have presets that I use for sports, and all of the sudden they're turning my photos yellow in Adobe but when I export it turns out fine. How do I fix it? I'm on a Mac

I have spoken to at least ten agents at Adobe LC Support and no one has been able to resolve the issue of not being able to import photographs from my iPhone 16 Pro. I am, however, able to import from an SD card.    When connecting to the phone I am only able to see previews for some of the photographs. If I try to import them nothing happens and I usually have to Force Quit.   Support has elevated my case but no resolves have come. Promises to call me back have been ignored. My feeling is that the call center is pretty much useless for me in this instance and I wish that I could speak directly to someone in engineering.   ADOBE PLEASE HELP ME RESOLVE THIS ISSUE!!!   

When I open the crop tool in the develop module, I often have to wait 4-5 seconds before the tool appears.Using a new Mac Mini M4, and happens with Sony A1 files, Sony A9 mark 1, and Sony A7r3 files.Also happens on my 2017 iMac Pro.Any advice? Everything else runs smoothly, no lag. Literally just opening crop I have to wait, which is annoying because I need to crop/rotate every image.

I have been going in circles for days trying to figure out how this got out of sync. For years I have had a top folder by year and then imported into 'Originals' folder inside of each new shoot by date of shoot. But now, Lightroom is ignoring the top folder year and creating its own folder with its own date for last year being oblivious to where I am asking the new shoot to go.... into ready folders on disk. I have to come here and ask for help. I don't even know where to start as it seems I've tried everything and nothing is working. How can I get back to my old organized way of bringing in new files? Example screen shots for what they are worth.

Windows PC, LRC 13.I want to select an area in an image.  Select subject (or background or sky) doesn't do it.  Select Object does a good job if I just select a small section of what I want.  Now I want to ADD to my object selection to get more of my "subject", and another one and another one.  I may want to get 4 or 5 different selections into my object and have it in the mask...HOW do I create the other objects WITHOUT having to LEAVE my place in the image, go all the way up to the top right, press Add AGAIN, go all the way back, do the selection, then repeat this every time?  I don't care if each selection is a separate Object (if it has to be), I just don't want to have to keep going back and forth and hitting Add over and over to create another of the same type of selection. I thought I saw a presentation where the person created 8 or 9 objects in the mask and I don't recall ever seeing him go all the way up and hit Add every time - is there a keyboar

I have an external hard drive to which I move my archive images, which I'll refer to as Archive here. I back this up to an identical drive, which I'll refer to as  Backup here. I have identical folder structures in both drives. The root is the drive name then beneath that there is a folder called Lightroom RAW files. Below that are all the subfolders. When I attach the Archive drive I can see it as a drive in Lightroom Classic just fine as soon as I plug it in. I can see all the folders and sub-folders. When I attach the Backup drive to my Mac I can see the drive and all the folders subfolders in Finder. Everything in the Backup drive is present and correct. When I open Lightroom I first have to add the Backup drive by clicking + in the Folders panel. So I navigate to the drive in Finder on my Mac and click on the Lightroom RAW Files folder. The drive and Lightroom RAW files folder appear and the previews start to load. Below the Lightroom RAW Files folder in Lightroom I

Hi, I have bought an R5 mk ii Canon camera. The RAW and C-RAW files are not recognised / able to import to Lightroom. Whereas Apple Photos does recognise them. The RAW and C-RAW files from my original R5 are recognised in Lightroom. What to do please? 

Hi,I used to have a Photography subscription, but I had to stop as I can't justify spending 10£ a month being just a hobbiest photographer.Is there any other option available? Can I buy a standalone copy of LrC?Any comment will be greatly appreciatedThanks cheers      

My dears, I am considering purchasing the following product: https://www.amazon.de/Adobe-Photoshop-Lightroom-Jahreslizenz-Download/dp/B076JT5MX2/ref=ast_sto_dp_puisHowever, it is important for me to know in advance what will happen to the LrC application if I do not continue my subscription. Will LrC remain fully usable on my desktop computer (without the CC functions, of course)?

When creating a mak and using the add or subtract with the brush tool there is no need to keep selecting the brush when you want to brush over multiple areas of the image. If I do this with the object tool I need to select an object, then hit add again, choose object and select the next portion. This is an incredible waste of time. The object tool often is faster and has better precision. Come to think og it, the add or subtract should be sticky until you turn it off. I am pretty sure I am missing something here and it is just an issue of me not knowing how to get this to work in such a way.

I have LR 14.4 and a new Nikon Z8 with 45 megapixal images. I recently switched back to Nikon from a Sony A7R (42 megapixel). I run LR on a 2019 maxed out IMAC (all SSD and 16GB RAM). Yes, it's not the newest in the world, but it handled the Sony RAW files just fine. Building previews took 2-4 seconds per file, so uploading 1000 RAW files took about an hour to generate all the previews. Note, I haven't used my Sony for big shoots in a while, so these times are with an older version of LR. I just uploaded 250 files from my Nikon and it took an hour to generate the previews (10-17 seconds per file). All 6 cores were at 100%, and even though I have "Use Graphics Processor" on Auto (It says my system fully supports acceleration), my GPU history shows that the GPU is not being touched while building previews. Does LR only use the GPU on Apple M chips and no longer Radeon or Intel? This is way slower than it used to be.

I have the follwoing structure on Pictures folder on my Mac Book: Folder Work in Progress, contained in Pictures Folder. When I select Work in Porgess and Synchronize it , Lightroom syncronizes all the Pictues Folder and not just Work in Progress.  

New Folder in LrC I recently changed computers, and since then, when I import photos, everything works correctly, but it created a new folder on my LrC desktop instead of continuing to use the one I already had. Now I have two folders: the old one:External Hard Drive/Images/Lightroom Photos And the new one it created:External Hard Drive/Images/Lightroom Photos/2025 Each folder has its own photo count, and it won't let me move folders from one place to another. How could I have a single folder with the hierarchy I already had and the total photo count? Thanks   

I've been encountering the same issue when attempting to move a file from Lightroom to Photoshop using the "Edit in Photoshop" link.  I get this error: "Lightroom is not allowed to control Photoshop.  Make sure this is allowed in System Preferences>Security & Privacy>Automation".  I've only been experiencing this since recently updating my programs with the May 2025 updates.  Anything you can recommend to resolve?   [Branched off from a non-related thread by moderator]

help! i am in big problem   all of my presets that i used from user presets tab in lightroom are gone and i cannot find them in my folders also   this happened now after updating   they disappeared from my macbook and from my desktop pc also   {made reader-friendly}

I wanted to bring attention to Adobe. There is a bug in the new Lightroom Classic 14.5 update.   I downloaded the update and immediately had problems with the previews connecting to the files.  An error message popped up on the thumbnails when I clicked on it and would not render the photos correctly.   I had to uninstall the update 14.5 and go back to 14.4.   I hope Adobe can address this issue.   Thanks John

I converted my Apple Photos library on my Mac to LRc using the Avalanche program.  All Apple folders became collection sets and all albums in those folders became collections.  When I synch one of these collections to the cloud, an album by the same name is created but it has no pictures in it.  When I create a new collection - even in the same collection set - it synchs just fine.  Album and pics show up as expected.  What's wrong?  

Using LrC ver 14.3.1 on macOS 15.5..I've had 73 photos stuck in sync activity for the last 90 days, I made a little progress (I'm down to 65 now), but wondering if there's any new remedies or workarounds now available since beginning of 2025?Here's how I got from 73 -> 65 images stuck in the sync activity listThe vast majority of the issues are metadata. I clicked on the asset path to go to the file in my collection and saw msgs like below when I clicked on the sync arrow in top right of imageBy clicking "save", and waiting a couple minutes, some the list of files decreased a little.This didn't work for the next 10 items in the sync stuck list so I'm looking for other ideas.I also tried unchecking the box to stop syncing the collection(s) the photo was in. But even after the collection was no longer marked to sync with the cloud, it's *still* in the sync stuck list. Frustrating.mike

Ventura 13.7.7 LRc 14.5I recently added a new ext hd to my system. It is now the source for ALL photo images. I previously used a different ext hd, but when I bought the new one, I copied everything from the old one to the new one. My new catalogs are on the new hard drive, but older catalogs still try to find images on the older, now empty or non existent, external drives, resulting in a lot of time wasted before the message appears that LR cannot find them.I wish to edit the folders panel in Library to have solely the new external drive there as a source for all of my images, old and new, and remove sourcing from all old external drives that were previously used. I have tried to edit with the + and - swtiches, but that has done nothing, ie cannot add nor remove. If I choose import on the lower left, it brings up the import screen, and shows all of my external drives, but when I choose the new external drive, it begins importing all of its contained images—something I don't think I wa

in Lr 14 kann ich weder unter Beschriftung, Titel oder Bildunterschrift in der Bibliothek etwas eintragen. Der Eintrag erscheint höchstens in nur  1 Foto und nicht in allen Markierten. Weiß jemand Abhilfe? Benie
