Questions

Will Lightroom Classic read the metadata that I have added to the jpegs of my jpeg+raw pairs of images?I don't own Lightroom yet. I shoot jpeg+raw. I have added keywords and star ratings to many of my jpegs. If I decide to get Lightroom Classic it would be nice if it would read this information from the jpegs and associate it with the raws.

I bought LR5 in 2015 for my Mac with High Sierra OS. I have a new Mac with Sequoia OS but LR5 cannot be migrated to the new Mac. I am told by Adobe the new operating system is incompatible. My question is 1. How do I use LR5 on my new Mac - which may be unfeasible and 2. How do I salvage my work on my old Mac? Can I upgrade to the newest version of LR and how do I import my work from my old Mac? Thanks.

Using LR Classic 14.2 on a new PC, settings for the "single-slider" local adjustments like Temperature, Tint, Contrast ... are not remembered. On another PC, they are remembered as expected. Concrete steps (example):1. Press M to crate new gradient2. Select Temp -> show some value like +253. Edit value to +10 (name of adjustment changes from Temp to Custom)4. Draw gradient5. Press M to draw new gradient -> we are still adjusting with Temp slider set to 106. Select another adjustment like Tint and work with that7. Later, when selecting Temp again, we expect to get back to the last used value 10.But on the new PC, we get strange value, often changing by +-1 (and oftemn not close to previously used value) What can be wrong with the LR installation / settings on the new PC ? 

I have a new Laptop running Windows 11. My old was Windows 10. I can't get my new LRC to present my pix  or thumbnails from my previous catalog. The library screen populates with 270 blank thumbnails showing the edits symbols for those pix but no images. If I want a particular image who's name is evidient on the blank thubnail, I need to import it individually. How do I organize the files to populate the images? 

Some photos in my Lightroom catalog have been moved, so Lightroom can no longer find them.  Such photos are marked "!" by Lightroom, but Lightroom does not appear to allow me to search for them and mark them for removal from the catalog.  Marking each such item manually is exceedingly laborious.  What am I missing?  Is there a means of searching for and marking such items?

PC is an i7-13700k, 96GB RAM, M.2 SSDs, GPU is NVidia 4070 Super 12GB Prior to yesterday I have had the same configuration for one - two years except the GPU was NVidia 1660Ti 6GB.  Lightroom Classic had generally run okay but was slowing down with each update. Most have told me this is likely due to each release optimizing moreso for newer GPU technology. In the past month things got bad to the point that photos with a small handful of healing brush uses or masks would almost freeze up and take several minutes to render in the develop panel before allowing extremely slow and jerky editing. VRAM usage typically say around 5.5GB of the 6GB my card had. Swapping to another photo without masks/brushes would not decrease VRAM usage but would allow LrC to return to normal operation. I upgraded to the 4070 Super yesterday. I installed as a clean install the newest driver from NVidia. Generally performance improved considerably including on photos I had trouble with before

Heya Team!  Having an issue with the Denoise feature in lightroom. Running the process, no errors, warnings etc, but the result seems to be ineffective. Ive checked hard drive space, updates, drivers etc. but no issues I can disern. Runs to completion, but no impact on image quality. It did work before. No idea what has changed. Thanks in advance for help!  

Hi all,since I upgraded from LRC 13.4 which worked flawlessly to 14.3.1 on my Macbook Air M3 on Sequoia 15.4.1 ; I see Cpu consumption extremely going up beyond 100celsius and GPU temperatures upt ot 80celsius; It seems following to me:- For some reason rendering preview data consumes much more CPU/GPU than before- For some reason even consuming almost all CPU/GPU for rendering of Previews is much much slower- For some reason on switch ot the next Image the preview seems to be rendered/caclulated again, CPU/GPU ruuning to 105c/80c degrees for about 2-3 seconds. On LRC 13.4 this worked as expected, fast only short spikes of CPU and after rendering of previews very fast with low CPU as you woud expect from the 2nd fastest ARM CPU beside the M4; But even with more CPU-Power it seems all CPU is sucked up like in a black whole.I deed already a lot- purged review cache- Resetted LR Preferences- Deleted the review Cache and then started the LRC againThe Preview Cache for 81 Nikon Z8

I was having an issue with Lightroom Classic 13.4 staying on top of all other windows when using it. Selecting another app in the task bar did not bring up that app on top of Lightroom, I had to minimize Lightroom in order to see any other application, including Photoshop when I would attempt to open an image in PS from Lightroom. I am running Windows 11, version 23H2 with all updates on a Lenovo laptop and 32 GB RAM. A tip from a post originally posted in 2018 and replied to in 2020 has solved the problem more easily than restarting Lightroom which only solved it briefly. Here's the tip that worked for me:In LR Classic go to Window/Screen Mode and choose Full Screen with Menubar.Then immediately go to Window/Screen Mode again, and this time choose Normal.

My workflow for several years has included migrating images to external devices (USB connected hard drives) when I need space on my hard drive.  I do this by creating a folder on the external hard drive, selecting the images to migrate and then dragging them to the new folder in Lightroom.  This has worked very well for several years.Yesterday I was surprised to see that the previews for the images with the '!' symbol (the ones that had been migrated off of the hard drive) were missing.  The metadata was still there and appeared accurate, but instead of a picture, I saw only a gray box.In most cases, I am able to get the preview back by attaching the external device and clicking on the '!' symbol to find the image.  But I have around 20 thousand images in my catalog, and there are hundreds of  missing previews.  I can use ratings, labels and sometimes text to filter the images somewhat, but getting back the image previews I want for a particular project is

Why is it that I seem to frequently lose my info overlays in both grid and loupe views in Lightroom Classic? I can only get them back by restarting LR.

Earlier today, LRc updated (13.3) and Mac updated (Sonoma 14.5). Now, it's taking 12-16 seconds per action I'm trying to make on ONE image. I.E., I'm cropping down an image - 7-8 seconds to do so. I uninstalled and re-installed LRc also. I've also restarted my laptop twice in hopes it would help to no avail.  Is anyone else having the same issue and, if so, how do I correct this?

After processing and exporting images to a sub-folder in Lightroom Classic I renamed the files in Explorer.Lightroom still shows the original file names and Library/Rename Photo does not work.I assume if I use Synchronise Folder, Lightroom will  treat the files as missing photos and remove the files from Lightroom.Is there a way to update the filenames?

why does lightroom classic not read or open sony rx1R mark 3 raw files while PS does?

I have just purchased my first Macbook Pro coming from PC. Copied everything from PC to external drives. (Images always been on another external drive). Tried to open the catalogue to which it asks for an update, do that and then.........nothing! It asks me to import images as there is none, but there is also no catologue - no edits, nothing at all.......HELP!

I am using LRC 14.5 on windows 11.  when I drag a single and or multiple pictures to the Map module  to add GPS.  example 8  extra Flags appear. Even if I try 1  Multiple show up. when not selected.  thoughts?

I updated now Lightroom and Camera Raw (that I can't use within Bridge with the Photography plan subscription, but this is another bad story) but I've a problem with the Lightroom Classic update (Error Code: 107).   Exit Code: 107 -------------------------------------- Summary -------------------------------------- - 2 fatal error(s), 1 error(s), 0 warnings(s) FATAL: Error occurred in Expression Evaluator for expression '[IsEnterpriseDeployment]==true', check the expression FATAL: Error occurred in install product workflow with error code 107 error message Invalid condition string specified, Missing variable: IsEnterpriseDeployment identified ERROR: Invalid condition string specified, Missing variable 'IsEnterpriseDeployment' identified -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   [Mod: Refromated for a better readability]

  Hi Everyone!   Try out Generative Remove, powered by Adobe Firefly's generative AI! With just a brush mask, you can easily remove distractions or unwanted objects from your photos. Adobe Firefly will automatically remove the object and seamlessly blend the fill with the rest of the image.   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Give it a try and share your Before & After images—or just the After—and show us the magic you've created in the comments below.   Try it in Lightroom Classic Generative Remove Open Lightroom Classic   Step 1 In the Develop module select the Remove tool by pressing Q or clicking the eraser icon beneath the histogram making sure the Mode is set to Remove.  Step 2 Select "Use generative AI" and use the slider to adjust your brush size.     Step 3 Use the brush to paint over the object you wa

The old version of Denoise created a new DNG. The new version is modifying and overwriting the original DNG ..... AND adding all the subsequent processing to it. I keep my RAW files seperate from LR specifically to preserve their integrity. Is this a glitch or by design. ? If it is I will NOT use Denoise in future as I do not want my RAW files altered.  anyone have any info, regards, Steve 

I just installed Lightroom Classic (version 14.5) on my Mac (running Sequoia 15.6).  I find the contents in the Develop menu to be almost impossible to read, as much of the font is black on a dark gray background.  Is there a way to adjust the appearance of the menus?

LR Classic 14.4To get to the "healing brush", which I use a LOT, it takes a lot of clicks to use: Click Remove Tool IconClick Remove drop downClick Heal Mode icon (unless it was sticky from last time, which seems not always the case)Then when finished, to get back to overall develop screen tab, have to click Edit icon.  Previously closing the healing brush reopened the develop screen tab.  Keyboard Shortcut "Q" merely gets you to step 2 above. Is there a way to change this and bring the healing brush to the surface?  It seems as features have been added it has gotten buried.

Version of the app: Lightroom Classic 14.5Platform and OS version: Windows 10Basic steps to reproduce the problem: Open an Apple ProRAW and the RAW Details option is grey out, saying RAW Details is not compatible with this photo format. While I have no such issue with Bayer RAWs.Expected result and actual result: Able to apply RAW Details as Apple ProRAW is one of the supported formats.
