Questions

Have been using LRC for more than a year with the same laptop system running on Win Home 11 (25H2). After update version to 15.1.1 in Jan 2026,  constantly experienced system crashed after opening LRC.Tried to disable the GPU processor and update the NVIDIA driver to the latest version, even reinstalled LRC again, unable to resolve this issue. Noticed, working on LRC after each reboot, it becomes lethargic and ultimately crashed out. A search from the internet, found someone having the same exact issue, managed to stabilize the program by reverting back to LRC 15.0.1I’ve no choice but to give a try by uninstalling the 15.1.1 version and reinstalled back 15.0.1, will monitor the condition. Do hope this issue can be resolved as soon as possible, it really a nightmare with no confident in using the software.

The lens profile is available for manual selection in the list of profiles, but the tools cannot automatically assign it, unlike with other lenses when selecting "Enable Profile Correction."   [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]

The new forum has its own quirks for including photos in posts.  Some tips based on what I’ve learned so far: If you want your readers to see a screenshot or the result of some LR action, use the Insert Image button to include the image inline with your text:If it’s important to include an original photo file, e.g. to troubleshot a LR problem with that photo, use the paper-clip Upload Files button to attach the file to your post:I’ve been able to attach raw files, text files, and .zip files, as long as they’re under 50 MB (contrary to the error message that says the limit is 5 MB).   However, if you try to attach an original JPEG, the forum will always convert it to Webp format, defeating the purpose of attaching the original JPEG. To work around this forum bug, use Mac Finder or Windows File Explorer to compress the file to a .zip and attach the .zip. If your file is bigger than 50 MB or the forum fails to attach it for some other reason, upload it to Wetransfer, Dropbox, Google Drive

Siehe oben. Das Entrauschen dauert seit einigen Tagen inakzeptabel lang. Am Rechner wurde nichts geändert. Nach den Auftreten des  Fehlers wurde der Treiber aktualisiert, was keine Hilfe brachte.

I am now having a doubt (shame on me, an expert user that doens’t know this) The question:Is it faster to import form “Source > Device” or “Source > Files”?What is the best choice?P.s.In my defence I didn’t know that whatever you type first before posting now becomes your title and you can’t edit it.I look like a total analphabet. 

Hey Gang,Forever, I've been using a LR plugin from Capture Monkey that would read the QR code in an image, then rename following photos using the data in that QR code. This made volume photography a breeze. The plugin is no longer being developed, so I'm searching for a replacement... There is a TON of intrest in a product like this if someone wants to develop a plugin.   Anybody know of any alternate solutions? Rob

When importing Leica M11 DNG files using Adobe Default (as shown in the Preferences / Presets -- Global setting) Adobe Standard is applied as the Profile instead of Adobe Color.  When I create and specify a Preset which specifically uses Adobe Color as the Profile, Adobe Standard is still applied.  If I specify to use Camera Setting, then the embedded M11 profile is correctly applied.  As a work-around,  I can indeed force the Adobe Color profile to be applied if I specify it as the Apply During Import - Development Setting (right-hand panel when importing) and select under the Defaults presets - Adobe Color + Lens or similar.

ince upgrading to Lightroom Classic 15.x (currently tested up to 15.1.1), I’m experiencing severe performance degradation in the Develop module, specifically when switching between photos.Symptoms: 0.5–2 seconds freeze when moving from one image to another in Develop Happens even with previews already built Occurs regardless of GPU acceleration being ON or OFF More noticeable when photos contain AI masks (Subject, Sky, People, etc.) Important details: This does not happen (or happens far less) in earlier versions Hardware is more than sufficient (Ryzen 7 5700X, RTX GPU, 48GB RAM) RAW files are ~24MP Catalog stored on SSD Tests already done: GPU completely disabled → no improvement GPU enabled only for display → no improvement All previews generated → no improvement Downgrade → only ~20% improvement This strongly suggests a regression in the Develop pipeline, likely related to AI mask re-evaluation when switching images. There are multiple reports from other users desc

Please help.Lightroom takes and age to open, or doesn't open and gets stuck on the start up and won't get further than the start up screen, if I'm lucky enough to get to editing, when I choose and work with masks, more often than not LR crashes and freezes the whole computer giving me no choice but to hold down the power button to reset the entire laptop.  I have an ASUS pro art p16, AMD Ryzen AI9HX, 2 TB drive with 933GB used, 32GB Ram 8GB dedicated graphics  and the card is an Nvidia GTX4070, Its about 6 months old. Windows 11. I have a download speed of 15.4MB/s, i have no idea if this is enough. My lightroom is up to date, the latest version, catalogue has 1200 photo's in it. Anybody got any ideas why its not working for me. Its getting depressing as I would like to actually do some editing, I switched computers as my old HP omen was getting slow but having recently booted that back up again it has over 1800 photos on it and is lower spec'd than my ASU

Following the instructions below, I can not initiate a batch process for Super Resolution”: Batch Super Resolution in Lightroom Classic 15.1.1The key rule (important)You must apply Super Resolution from the Detail panel with multiple images selected. Lightroom will then queue and process them sequentially.Step-by-step (works reliably)1️⃣ Select multiple images Go to Library or Develop Select multiple photos: Shift = range Cmd = individual picks Best results with RAW files   2️⃣ Switch to Develop With all images still selected Make sure one image is active (lighter highlight) 4️⃣ Enable Super Resolution Tick Super Resolution Leave Raw Details unchecked unless needed Click Enhance At the final step only one image is processed.

First I will describe my normal workflow which has worked correctly for many years in previous versions of LR classic; then I will describe what has happened in 15.0 and in 15.1.1Previous workflow: Record GPS track log with my sports watch (Coros Apex) while taking photos. Sometimes two or three track logs are recorded on one day. in LR classic, Select all images taken that day  load a track log to the map module of LR classic Auto-tag selected photos The photos will be correctly distributed along the track log according to the capture time.  Photos that are not within the time of that track log will not be GPS tagged. load another track log from later that day and repeat the process.  Images taken later in the day will be correctly tagged to the second track log.What happened in LR classic 15.0 and also after I updated to 15.1.1:All the photos taken that day were tagged to the beginning of the track log, including some photos which were taken later in the day and should not have been

Hallo, hat noch jemand massive Probleme mit der KI Funktion? Bei mir ist seit Wochen keine durchgängige Bearbeitung von Bildern möglich, seit dem ich das letzte Update geladen habe. Meist geht es in der ersten halben Stunde. Danach geht meist nicht mal mehr Fusseln zu entfernen. Großflächige Entfernung geht gar nicht mehr. 

Obligé de faire Fenêtre/centrer pour avoir accès aux 3 boutons rouge vert jaune pour iconiser. Cf copies d’écran. Que faire pour avoir directement ces 3 boutons ?

Mes photos sont classées par AAAA/MM/JJ. Si je clique sur le petit bouton à sur année j’obtiens MM et  sur MM j’obtiens le dossier JJ. Mais alors je ne peux plus développer le dossier JJ le petit bouton à gauche est grisé

Lightroom Classic allows quite some opportunities to search in your photolibrary but does not allow a search oin filesize yet. Especially for optimizing your library it makes sense to delete or replace big files. Big files may be produced when making panarama's in .tiff format, or when using Photoshop to improve images. Files of more than one or two Gigabyte may be produced that way.When search for (too) big files would be enabled in Lightroom itself (instead of using plugins to get to that point) it would be much easier to keep your library small and efficient. Big Tiff files can best be exported as DNG without loosing quality really but will be reduced to 25% of less in size.So, I think Adobe would help it's customers to keep Lightroom work optimally by adding Filesize to the search menu in the library.Also a warning for much large files somewhere in the settings the might be an idea.   

PUEDO CAMBIAR EL LIGTHROOM POR EL LIGTHROOM CLASSIC

Hello Adobe Support, I’m using a Canon 5D Mark IV and I usually shoot in JPG. I’ve noticed that when I import my JPG files into Lightroom Classic, the colors appear noticeably different from what I see on the camera’s LCD or when viewing the image in other basic image viewers. The color looks flatter, less saturated, and not as true to what was captured in-camera. I understand that RAW files often lose the in-camera Picture Style when opened in Lightroom, but in this case, I’m working with JPG files, which should already be processed by the camera. Is there a way to preserve the exact color and tonal look of my original JPGs when importing them into Lightroom, without any changes to the appearance? I’ve tried checking the profile in the Develop module, and Lightroom applies “Adobe Color” by default. Changing the profile helps a bit, but it still doesn’t match the original JPG appearance from the camera. Is there any way to import JPGs into Lightroom without Lig

Lightroom 14.5.1.1 won't open for me on Windows 11. When I click the icon, it opens an invisible window named "mainwindowview" in the task switcher. Task manager also shows the programme as running, but it is not visible and does not show as open in the taskbar. Steps already tried:Completing all Windows updatesUpdating graphics card driverUninstall & reinstall Lightroom ClassicReinstalling & repairing all C++ add insPlease can anyone advise any other remedies. Thank you

I just updated the newest Lightroom pocess, which automatically updated my catalog (which is pretty large).  Now, all of my images appear in washed out thumbnails.  In Library, they look like that constantly, but the correct, edited images show in the Develop module.  When I export an image, Windows opens it in the flat, washed out images.  Can anyone help?  I have almost 50,000 images that I need.   Thanks

I have a massive catalog of over 100k images. Most are on an external drive while my current work is on my laptop.I have tried to split the archive off by using Export Folder, but it wants me to select a destination & I don’t need to move all those TB of files because I’m happy where they are.I could export the current files to a new catalog, but, of course, same thing.I have had a couple of instances where the catalog has become corrupted. Lightroom fixed it, but it is both worrisome & time consuming.How can I split a catalog into 2 with selected folders in each without moving the actual files?

I’m a nature photographer and until now I’ve been shooting in JPEG, but I’ve recently switched to C-RAW. I want to upload my photos to Instagram in the same size and quality, but no matter what export settings I use, the image never looks like the original.The only time it looks right is when I set the image dimensions to small in Lightroom, but that changes the size of the crop, which I don’t want.I would really appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.

My entire photo catalog from Lighroom is missing. Thousands of photos.

Using Windows 11 and Lightroom Classic 15.1.1  I’ve had success deleting the Lcat files, but having to do that everytime is becoming a pain. I have also tried resetting preferences while launching Lightroom CC which doesn’t do anything in my scenario.
