Hallo zusammen, ich schlage mich mit einem kleinen Problem herum unter Lightroom Classic. Ich nutze macOS auf einem iMac M4.Ich habe das Problem, dass ich beim importieren von Bildern, diese permanent auf die das Laufwerk des iMac geladen werden. Ich habe meine Bilder aber auf einer externen Festplatte, die direkt an den iMac angeschlossen ist.Ich habe nun versucht unter den Voreinstellungen bei Lightroom die Synchronisation einzustellen. Dort gibt es den Punkt. "Gib ein Speicher Ort für die synchronisierten Bilder von Lightroom an". Ich kann hier auch meine externe Festplatte auswählen.Leider wird bei jedem Neustart diese Einstellung wieder zurückgesetzt und Bilder werden direkt auf die Festplatte des M4 geladen. Ist das ein Fehler im System oder mache ich hier einen systematischen Fehler?Würde mich über einen Tipp sehr  freuen

After updating to 14.2 I have new problems with Lightroom Classic. Again! This time Lightroom causes continuous high disk usage, even though I am not doing anything. What's more export isn't working! When I try to do export, nothing happens. How to get Lightroom to work again? And it's not catalog drive, it's my photo storage.

Hi, I have a brand new PC with Win11, and i cant install Lightroom Classic or Photoshop because... an update is required! The error is:       Update required! If you would like to install Lightroom Classic, you must update your system.   That's when i try to download, not even when trying to install. There is no way to get more details on the error 😞   I looked at the requirements here, and my system seem to be meeting all of them. https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/system-requirements.html The only thing i could see is the 2Gb for a GPU. I dont have a dedicated CPU. Same as my previous PC where i had a i5-12600k.   My PC specs: Processor 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-12900H 2.50 GHz Installed RAM 48.0 GB (47.7 GB usable) Windows 11 Home N (installed media feature pack 1000.26100.48.0), Version 24H2, OS build 26100.3194 No GPU   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

Hi everyone, I run Lightroom Classic Desktop 14.2 (not LRC).By trying to start it a few minutes ago, it said "developing mode" is deactivated. I need to login. So I tried to log in. I had to type in my serial number, which I did - now its saying the number is wrong.Well its the one I have from my creative cloud abo.  My laptop doesnt support the latest LR version - so I am stuck. Adobe Help Center say, the version I run is still supported.Any idas on how to solve this?

HelloWithin the past month or so (as I haven't used Lightroom much during this time) half of my current catalogue has gone missing. They are not even displayed as greyed out on my current catalogue. These files are saved on an external hard drive, and always appear when I plug in that external hard drive, however now they do not. The files are indeed stll saved on my external hard drive, yet they are simply not diplayed in Lightroom Classic. I think the problem has come, as I recently asked 'One Drive' to back up all my files online. It appears that the Library path on my LrC catalgues and backups has now moved to to the folder in my one drive account on my PC's C Drive, and is no longer set to link to my normal catalogue which still also exists on the normal folder on my C Drive. (I can see this when I go to when I go to 'System Info' under Help menu). It's strange as the One Drive folder now created, is an exact duplicate of the previous one (Both are current and saved on my PC

Guten Tag, ich war bisher zufriedener Nutzer von LR 6.Nun habe ich, da mein Lightroom nicht mehr starten wollte (Fehlermeldung, daß die Creative Cloud nicht richtig funktioniere), notgedrungen eine Adobe ID erstellt und dann Lightroom neu gekauft.Jetzt habe ich Lightroom 14.2 Classic, mein alter Katalog ist auch importiert worden (hätte ich nicht erwartet, daß das ohne Reibung geht).Jetzt habe ich aber auch ein Abo für Lightroom. Kann ich das Classic 14.2 auch nutzen, wenn ich das Abo wieder kündige? Das Cloud-Dings brauche und will ich nicht.Gruss 

I have been struggling with this issue for about a month. When I am trying to import photos to Lightroom, the previews won't load for about 3 hours. I have tried importing them from the SD card as well as from my passport external hard drive. I have cleared out my hard drive on my Mac because I thought maybe it was too full, and got a brand new external hard drive. Any ideas as to what the issue could be?

All of a sudden, all but one photos in my current folder started showing a magenta-green moire pattern, which is most obvious in gray areas. Going back to a previous folder that I looked at just before now has the same problem. I have been zooming in and out in the Library module a lot. I have not done any edits (other that lens correction and CA correction on import.) An exported file (jpg, 1920X1440 px) also shows this moire pattern.  I am using Lightroom Classic 14.2 on a Macbook Air 2020 with an M1 chip. The OS is Sequioa 15.3.1 (24D70). I am looking at HEIC (12MB, 24 MB, and HEIF Max) and JXL  (ProRaw Max lossy and lossless) photos from an iPhone 16 Pro.  All these file types show moire patterns. Lightroom is curently using 6.8 GB. Moire patterns in previews are frustrating and makes exports unuseable. Here's the exported file and screen shot of the same file in the Library module:   

Hallo,   seit der neuen Version von Lighroom Classic kann ich keine Stichwörter mehr eintragen. Ich sehe nicht mal die den Fotos bereits zugewiesenen Stochwörter. Was ist das Problem und wie sieht die Lösung aus? Danke.

Hey everyone .Im having problems getting my Nikon z7 (firmeare v3.70) to be found in LrC (v14.2) using my MBP (OS Sequoia 15.3.1) using a genuine teather tools lead.it did work but has since stopped, however it does still work using this kit and nikon's NX Teather app. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks Alex.

Lightroom sync is constantly showing 6 photos in: "Error". I don't have any detail aout what's the error. But their metada is syncing correctly: when I add or remove star or do some edits, I can see them on my other devices. But the LR Classic app always show sync errors for these 6 photos. The common point is that they are all DNG or TIF. I don't have any issue with RAW (NEF) or JPEG. I don't have any issue iwth my other DNG and TIF. Note that I have the original versions both in LR Classic locally and on the cloud. I have tried the following, without any luck: 1) Rebuild sync cache2) Remove photos from "All Sync Errors" collection, wait for the removal to sync, then add them back I start to think it is a bug regarding the sync status and the state of these photos in the Sqlite catalog and maybe the size ? Is there some API limits ? 

Ich habe einen LR Classic Katalog mit ca. 50000 Bildern. Plötzlich sind alle mühsam zusammengestellten Sammlungen auf Null gestellt. In einem älteren Backup-Katalog sind die Sammlungen noch vorhanden. Dort wurden die Originale allerdings nicht mehr gefunden. Wenn ich die Sammlung als Katalog exportiere und in den aktuellen Katalog importiere, werden sehr viele Bilder importiert, die bereits enthalten sind. Sie haben natürlich ihren Platz gewechselt, aber das müsste ich über "Fehlende Dateien suchen" u.U. manuell lösen.1. Wie kann ich Duplikate verhindern "Mögliche Duplikate nicht importieren" habe ich eingeschaltet.2. Wird die Sammlung wiederhergestellt oder erhalte ich die alten Bilder als neue chaotisch über den Katalog verteilt?3. Wie kann es passieren, dass die Sammlungen auf Null Bilder gestellt werden?Danke

Hello Everyone, I've remembered that in older version of Lightroom the Parametric Curves have had the modified Point Curve displayed as a 'baseline' for modifications instead of the default linear curve. So by using the parametric curve sliders, we directly modified the already adjusted Point Curve and got immediate visual feedback of it. This was viewed as a bug and was fixed accordingly.On the last comment in the linked thread it's said that:'Note that this was a bug in the display of the Parameteric Curve, not in how the actual slider settings were interpreted.'However, I disagree with the last few words. To this day, it seems to be the way the Parametric Curve is interpreted. In a quick experiement I've created a black to white gradient, then lowered the white point to 60 with the Point Curve.This puts even the brightest parts of the image into the Shadows section of the Parametric Curve.However, when I adjust the Parametric Curve, I can only affect the brightest parts of

I've been working with the Custom Metadata Panels functionality in Bridge, building out panels for future use for myself and my department. Is there any expectation that the Custom Panels functionality will be added to Lightroom sometime in the near future?  Or alternatively, is there a way to import the exported JSON file from Bridge into Lightroom?

Ola, gostaria de exportar  as fotos para o cliente, sem que ele possa copiar a edição feita e presets utilizados  nas fotos, evitando a copia para uso. 

Hello, I am running Lightroom classic v13-4 and all of a sudden when I go to export even just one photo the export tab opens up top but nothing happens. I once let it sit for 24 hours and it showed it completed but nothing was in the folder. I have tried everything, resetting preferences, uninstalling and reinstalling the app, deleting watermarks and making a blank one, checked my hard drive, checked export settings they're the same I've always kept them. I'm using a 2017 iMac Ventura 13.7 i5 8gb I'm not sure if the age of my Mac has anything to do with it but any help is appreciated thank you!

So this behavior is something new. I've been using LrC with a Synology NAS as my catalog storage for some time now.I recently noticed som sync's being hung. I would run through my workflow, editing photos and such, and then notice the sync was hung on a few images and their "metadata". I would have to "remove these from all synced photographs" to clear out the queue, and move forward. That sucks because then I had some issues adding those images back into the correct collection.But anyways, the issue seems to happen when I am just navigating around in the Library module in a catalog that is stored on my Synology drive (I have some catalogs on my local MacBook Pro drive that do not exhibit this behavior)When I click and image, it's fine.When I open the image in the loupe view, it starts a metatada syncoddly enough, it syncs 2 photos which are the one I clicked, and the immediately proceeding image in that catalog.I've attached a video for referencethis metatdata clears out pretty fast,

Hi: I have Lightroom Classic installed on a Windows desktop PC. I recently bought an iPad Pro. How do I sync my Lightroom photos (collections) from the desktop to be able to view and edit on the iPad Pro using the Lightroom app? Also, as an Enterprise customer I don't have a lot of Creative Cloud storage, so how can I do this using a third party cloud storage service (like Dropbox)? Thank you.

Hi,First time scenario for me. I'm looking for suggestions to how I can safely move my entire photos/catalogue and collections to an external SSD, however, still being able to work on some of them (work in progress projects), when the external SSD is not connected. I've already searched the forum and, it seems, that there are several options to move all my photos from the laptop's internal harddrive to an external SSD: either by copying, deleting source files and updating folder locations, or by 'Exporting this folder as collection...'. Or is there another better way? What I'm still not sure about, would either option keep the collections I created on my internal drive work once it's either reconnected to the new location or exported as new catalogues? In the worst case, they could also be exported as separate catalogues before I move the whole thing?And once everything is exported onto the external SSD, how can I safely remove the original internal laptop photos and col

How do I search for photos in lightroom that are on my computer by file name?  When i go to library > Find.  I enter in my favourites list copied from Pixieset and paste it in the search field and it comes up with no photos match filter.

Hi,I'm new to the forum but not to Lightroom or to Canon printers.  Still, I have a problem.  My old Canon Pro 100 gave up the ghost, and I've replaced it with a Pro300.  I am working from an iMac running Sequoia 15.x.  The printer is on the network, and I've installed the correct cups driver and ICC Profiles.  When I send an image to the printer from LR, I get an Error 88 message indicating a paper size and type mismatch.  Shouldn't LR be transmitting information to the printer to override what appears on the printer screen?  What's my next step?  Thanks in advance for your help.  richard

Here's how it looks:  I've looked in its folder and the icon is there. I've uninstalled and reinstalled a couple of times with no luck.

Ich nutze einen iMac, habe Lightroom CC installiert und es bisher nicht geschafft, meinen alten Katalog von Lightroom 5 zu installieren. Was muss ich tun?

Wondering if anyone experiences this issue with Lightroom Classic on Mac OS. I have a catelogue containing around 376,000 images. Recently I've noticed that Lightroom Classic will report it's 'Saving XMP for ñ photo' starting with the total number of images in the catalogue and running that number down as it goes. The XMP data hasn't changed for photos so I don't know why lightroom is trying to save the XMP again for every image, but unfortunatly I can't let the programme run and complete this task as it just keeps eating up more and more memory as it goes on, eventually locking up and freezing. The last time I looked it was consuming 96GB of memory, my MacBook Pro M1 only has 16GB.  Of course I can quit Lrc and I get a warning saying it hasn't finished writing the XMP data but it's ok and Lrc will continue the task next time it's launched.  The problem is, due to the memory leak, the app never finishes the task. Has anyone else seen this?&n
