Hi everyone! I have a problem that Lightroom is not exporting PNG's with transparency on some files. My process is usually this, if it might help: I import the RAW files, edit them, then send them trough Lightroom to edit them in Photoshop, making a transparent background. Then I rename the files and and export them in PNG's of 3 different resolutions (low medium and high). The files come out with a white background instead of transparent and I don't know why, it only happens in certain files... The work around I'm doing is exporting the PNG trough Photoshop, importing those PNG to Lightroom to batch export the other medium and low resolutions. Does anyone knows whi this is happening? Thank you in advance!

Hello,After the recent update on 14 August 2025, the review of denoise in LrC has disappeared. Has anyone else experienced the issue, and how can we fix it? I appreciate any help you can provide.

I have a 2019 Mac Pro, i7, 16GB RAM, and I recently noticed through the Mac’s Activity Monitor that it uses very little processing power during export with Lightroom Classic, as you can see in the attached image below. With other tasks, the fan even kicks in, but not with Lr Classic.Is there any way to make better use of the processor? I believe the export could be much faster!Or does anyone know if Lightroom (cloud-based) is faster? Or perhaps Camera Raw via Bridge? 

I recently upgraded to lr 14.0.1 and not it won't detect subjects in any photo. PS won't find the subject either. Any ideas? Lightroom Classic version: 14.0.1 [ 202410161356-30922cfc ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: en-USOperating system: Mac OS 14Version: 14.7.0 [23H124]Application architecture: x64Logical processor count: 16Processor speed: 2.3GHzSqLite Version: 3.36.0Power Source: Plugged In, 76%Built-in memory: 16,384.0 MBDedicated GPU memory used by Lightroom: 1,091.4MB / 4,080.0MB (26%)Real memory available to Lightroom: 16,384.0 MBReal memory used by Lightroom: 2,187.8 MB (13.3%)Virtual memory used by Lightroom: 44,465.0 MBMemory cache size: 594.2MBInternal Camera Raw version: 17.0 [ 2043 ]Maximum thread count used by Camera Raw: 5Camera Raw SIMD optimization: SSE2,AVX,AVX2Camera Raw virtual memory: 1079MB / 8191MB (13%)Camera Raw real memory: 1404MB / 16384MB (8%)Cache1:Final1- RAM:427.0MB, VRAM:0.0MB, DSC08468.dngFinal2- RAM:37.0MB, VRAM:0.0MB, 881D54E7-2411-478E

Bonjour, depuis la dernière mise à jour quand je clique sur l'icone de raccourci sur mon bureau de Lightroom il me dit l'erreur suivant " Lightroom Ircat-data introuvable" alors ce que je dois faire pour réeussir à l'ouvrir est d'aller dans mon dossier image ou est stoquer la dernière version de ma sauvegarde de mon catalogue et quand je clique dessus alors il s'ouvre sans problème. Ensuite si je referme Lightroom et que j'essaie de l'ouvrir à nouveau alors il faut que je refasse les memes étapes pour arriver à relancer en passant par ma sauvegarde dans le dossier image et cliquer sur le fichier lrcat.Que faire, je ne comprends pas pourquoi quand je clique sur l'icone du bureau ca ne fonctionne pas et quand je clique sur mon fichier lrcat dans ma sauvegarde tout souvre correctement!!! Merci à vous 🙂

updated from 14.4 to ver 14.5  upon update i opened lightroom and it reopaired my catalog and now all my photos are gone, went back to 14.4 and still nothing never had this issue running windows 11 

Time to upgrade from my 8 GB EVGA 3060 Ti.   System is ASUS ROG Strix-E-A and 670e chipset.  AMD 7900x CPU and 64 GB Micron RAM.

Updated Lr classic a few mins ago and went my import section to add some new images. While zooming to check for focus issues, my zoom options are all scuffed. It only zooms out now to a smaller scale and will not zoom in as it has for the last 10yrs or so ive used LR, unless i go to the manual zoom slider? Ive checked for a fix online but no results. Any fix to this i may have missed as its hindering my efficiencies and an actual annoyance.

How doI get LRC to print 16 x 20 on Epsom printer?

Llevo varios meses, que lightroom no sincroniza las fotografias con la  nube de adobe. Sin embargo, si entro en la web y las subo no tengo ningun problema. Alguien sabe que pasa o como solucionarlo.  Gracias.

Hi, What's the best way to un-install my buggy copy of LR Classic and reinstall a clean version on a Macbook running Sequoia, without losing my catalogue, presets etc. Thanks 

Estoy tratando de utilizar el plugin Mogrify 2,  pero falla en la exportación de un único fichero / foto. No importa si es JPG, DNG, GIF, RAW..., y cualquiera de las opciones de exportación que utilice (marco, texto, Watermark, etc.)Otros servicios de exportación sí funcionan,  por lo que pienso que el problema es inherente a Mogrify, pero tras muchas búsquedas, no he conseguido encontrar ninguna pista que me ayude a solucionar el problema. He probado: - Desinstalar Lightroom Classic (Mediante Creative Cloud Desktop)- Reiniciar el sistema- Volver a instalar Lightroom Classic (Mediante Creative Cloud Desktop)- Desinstalar el plugin Mogrify- Desinstalar ImageMagick- Volver a instalar plugin e ImageMagick Nada de lo anterior ha servido para solucionar el problema.¿Alguien puede aportar alguna solución? Gracias anticipadas.  Datos de mi sistema en Windows 11:

Após a nova atualização de Agosto a Inteligencia Artificial Generativa não está mais funcionando no Photoshop e Lightroom Classic e o Adobe Creative Cloud não abre e não consigo desinstalar ou reparar!

I have an accumulation of Other Lightroom Device showing up in the LrC folders (see attachment).  What are these? Do I need them?  How do I get rid of them?  Also, is there a way to reorganize the order of what is in the folders section (like MacHD and external HD with pictures?).  

My plugin EvalFocus.lrplugin ,I select photos from catalog and launch plugin, plugin process photos takes long time, so I do another task, develop for example.when 'Undo" in develop module,Expected resultsUndo operation at develop module just before.Acutal resultsLightroom looks Undo plugin operation. ( Undo (string specified withWriteAccessDo() ) appears on monitor)but nothing undoable, plugin runs continue. Is there way to fix plugin to tell lightroom "plugin cannot undoable" and Undo develop operations?Lightoom 14.4 / macOS 15.6

I've updated to 14.5 today on Windows 11 (24H2 - 26100.4946) It used the GPU nicely and the import was MUCH faster overall.  However, twice it's hung at the last import or 6. I imported 671 photos, and the first time it just hung at "Building Standard Previews 665 of 671". I deleted all the images, and re-ran the import, and this time it hung at "Building Standard Previews 671 of 671" While it's hung like this, the LrC process is using around 50% of my CPU. I've left it for around 10 minutes, and nothing is happening, just using CPU doing nothing it seems.  Anyone else seeing something like this? Images: https://i.imgur.com/7EuyzkA.png https://i.imgur.com/pP3NmJ0.png https://i.imgur.com/JrEEHhw.png

Release 14.2 cannot open Lightroom edited photos in Photoshop 26.5 or Photoshop Beta 26.6. Opens Smart Objects without a problem.

I am having difficulty adding a lengthy quotation to a single slide in a slideshow. How is that done. Thanks

Hi,Whenever I upload new photos to LRC saving them to an external HD and OneDrive I receive an email from OneDrive "We noticed that you have recently deleted a large number of files from your OneDrive". Looking in the recycle bin the files include - Lightroom Catalog Ircat - walmetadatahelper.db -walpreviews.db. journal376E23AC-A33F.......................................... Can anyone help with explaning why these files were deleted, what they might be and whether they should be restored? Maybe this post might be more suited to a OneDrive forum but I have started here. Cheers, Lynton

my lightroom catalogue got corrupted so i deleted the catalogue and was unable to create a new one, then i uninstalled the app  then i reinstalled it but the problem didnt go away. when i try to create a new catalogue it brings up a file not found error 

Hi I have an surface book 2 (3000 x 2000 resolution) with a secondary screen connected (1920 x 1200) over the docking station. For my first screen (surface book 2) , I have the option in Windows 10 that the size of text, apps and other items is shown as 200% (recommended) , on my secondary screen with the lower resolution i have this option at 100 % (also recommended for that screen).   - When I move lightroom from the one screen to other I have restart lightroom that the scaling works fine. (from surface book to external screen and vice versa) - Afterwards everything is looking fine on the external screen except all the menus on the top (File,Edit,Print....)which stay really big.   This seems to be a bug in lightroom because with photoshop and all other programs everything is working without any problem......   Please correct this Adobe!!!!   Thanks a lot

Hello,My CPU temperature easily rises to 95°C and then cools down again thanks to the fan. When I batch process 10, 20, or 40 photos, the same thing happens when exporting these photos to jpg files, and the process slows down considerably.Hardware acceleration is enabled in both Lightroom and Photoshop. I have the latest NVIDIA graphics driver 572.83, completely cleaned of all unnecessary items using NVCleanstall.I should also point out that I have an HP Omen PC with an i7 12700, and I know it's not as good in terms of cooling performance as a PC that has been rebuilt (my CPU fan is 92 mm, meh). But this problem is new, so is this the beginning of a technical problem for me, or is it a bug in Lightroom version 14.2? I would be very grateful to know if I'm alone in this situation or if others have already encountered this problem.Have a good evening and a good day everyone, and thank you for your feedback.
