A recent change made by Google will render previous versions of Lightroom Classic's Map Module's Search (top right of the Map header) non-functional. To restore Search functionality please update Lightroom Classic to version 14.2 or later.  

Hi everyone, I would think this is a common issue...photo files keep getting bigger and storage needs grow exponentially. I like to know what other people are doing.  I work directly from an external 5TB hard drive. I keep two backups - so that means I have three 5TB hard drives total.As I am getting close to exceeding 5TB does that mean I just need to keep buying larger drives? Or...do people start splitting their photos into smaller catalogs?Smaller iterations would mean I could use smaller external drives which are cheaper. So the question is - just keep buying bigger external drives OR think about splitting into multiple smaller iterations ---- so separate photos and catalogs. Or maybe there is another option? Thanks 

Hi - earlier, I tried importing photos from my Canon EOS xsi (I know, it's not young) to Lightroom Classic and the import screen showed the camera, but no photos. In an attempt to correct, I updated:  1. OS - now running Sequoia 15.3.1 2. Lightroom Classic to latest version (14.2 release)  Now, LC won't read my camera at all. When I try using Image Capture, most of the images render an Image Capture Core Error 9934.  I have a MacbookPRO and both Image Capture and Photos recognizes the camera, so I don't think this is an issue with the USB cable. Also, Lightroom (not Classic) seems to be able to read and import the photos.  My goal is to import the raw photos - currently importing from Photos to LC is "degrading" the images to jpg.  Concerned there may be a compatibility issue given the age of the camera. Any other troubleshooting ideas? Thanks! 

Bug report template: Issue:  Lightroom Classic Version Number:  3.14 Release OS Version Number: Windows 11 (23H2) Steps to reproduce: Start Lightroom Classic Open Catalog with more than 1 image (Or import multiple images) Select one of the images Select "P" (or Photo > Set Flag > Flagged) Select Develop Above filmstrip at bottom right, 'Filter' select the 'flagged' icon (Or: Select the dropdown > flagged) Verify only flagged photos are shown in the filmstrip   From the edit menu on right, under the Detail Pane, select "Denoise..." Select Enhance  Verify the system completes denoise operation Verify the filmstrip still only shows flagged images. `Fail: Shows all One must select flagged again to return to flagged only.` Expected result: One should not have to keep filtering to 'flag' after using the denoise operation. Actual result: After pressing denoise, the filmstip does not keep only flagged photos (Guess what I do for a living....) &#128521

Repro steps:1. Open a catalog in grid view2. Open second monitor in loupe view3. While using mouse wheel to scroll through photos quickly on the second monitor loupe view, press P or X to flag / reject photos. Do this before the photo has fully loaded. Result - incorrect or no photos are flagged. Unfortunately I ran into this bug after culling over 5000 photos from a recent trip - thank goodness for backups but I need to now spend days culling these photos again. Seems to also be mentioned in this discussion: Re: Keyboard Star Rating Being Applied to the Wron... - Adobe Community - 14094236

I had no backup.  I thought I was screwed, but then I realized that I do pay for adobe CC, and yes, there are 100 GB of pictures.  But... does Adobe also back up the catalog itself?   Or am I left restoring those 100GB of pictures, and then just starting a new catalog?  I don't see anywhere to find the catalog on the adobe cc website.  Thanks!

Lightroom Classic 10.2 Camera Raw 13.2 Win 10 Many of my ORF files from my Olympus PEN E-PL5 are marked with an exclamation point in the photostrip and when they are chosen to view a label appears saying "The file appears to be unsupported or damaged." In the past these files appeared to display perfectly OK. These photos are stored in OneDrive. I am able to view them with Windows Photos both the Raw and Jpeg file and they look OK there, so apparently they are not damaged. Why are these apparently no longer supported? I had been quite happy shooting with Raw+Jpeg mode, but now I wonder. Lightroom does not allow me to unstack the ORF and JPEG, so I can't even view them in Lightroom, they appear as a blurry images. Creative Classic tells me I am up to date. Is there a way to get around this problem? 

I have updated my Lightroom Classic to Version 14.2 and when I look in my Catalogue folder, I see the above. Can I delete the ones that are not v13? Also, can I delete the file named Lightroom Catalog-v13-3 Previews.lrdata? It is taking up a lot of space.

Hello!  I was working with the DeNoise AI for several days, and it seems like after a back up was done, it's just not working anymore. Everytime I try to run DeNoise the error, "There was an error writing the file" and it's referencing the .Nef file.  Is it the .NEF files themselves?  I have reset the preferences, un - installed and re-installed Lightroom, cleared the cache and checked my GPU memory to make sure I have enough (and I believe I do) and it's still not working.I must be missing something.  Below is the system info:  Lightroom Classic version: 12.3 [ 202304101834-a085245c ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: enOperating system: Windows 8  - Business EditionVersion: 6.2.9200Application architecture: x64System architecture: x64Logical processor count: 12Processor speed: 2.5GHzSqLite Version: 3.36.0CPU Utilisation: 8.0%Built-in memory: 32528.9 MBDedicated GPU memory used by Lightroom: 2353.6MB / 4019.0MB (58%)Real mem

I know the question was asked and I have ideas as to the best solution(s), but so I don't totally mess things up, here I am.I created a new Catalog and successfully got the contents of my old catalog into the new one. All was fine until I synched the new catalog as it brought in stuff from Lightroom (not LrC). I believe I likely should have chosen the option (?delete synced data), but did not. This created virtual copies that I have cleaned up, but also a lot of duplicates that show a filepath of Lightroom/Mobile Downloads.lrdata/downloaded-smart-previews.I see the option in Sync Preferences (click the gear) to delete all Synced Data. Is this what I should do and resync?Thank youDavid

My lightroom classic 14.2 is SLOW, laggy, not previewing or even able to rate photos.  I'm running on Apple M3 Max 128 GB ram Sonoma 14.7.2 I have ample storage. Anyone having issues or have solution?  

LRC 14.2. Raw 17.2 Mac ventura 17.4 I'm using Sony RX100 v7 inbuilt panorama function is JPEG and poor quality so I take a number of overlapping RAW images & import into LRC. I highlight all image on LRC > Right Click >Photo Merge>panorama - nothing happens. I closed the application I reopen the application I highlight all images on LRC > Right Click >Photo Merge>panorama and the 9 images then merge into the expected panorama. This never happened with my (beautiful and much missed) canon 5D mk2   Its a pain but I get what i want with a work around but wonder why this might happen - and it does every time. - Any ideas please? (I cant add files - too large)   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

I now have 7 hours invested in trying to install Lightroom Classic on my new iMac, not including the download. After stalling out at about 43% after 4 hours, I searched for answers and followed the Adobe recommendation of uninstalling the creative cloud desktop app and reinstalling it. Now another 3 hours in the secon time around, I managed to reach 70%! Making progress, I guess. It's been at 70% for the past 35 minutes:  why is this taking so long? The downlaod is done - just trying to finish the installation.

Lightroom Classic Build [202502071718-3869eef7]Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5051987)Import dialog hangs for over 2 minutes before it even lets me browse to a folder. Changing import source folders also takes way too long. Please help. 

I'm on an iMac 2017, OS Catalina 64GB ram. Recently I upgraded to LR Classic 11.1 and for the last few days, I've been experimenting with all the new stuff.  To record what I was finding out, I was alternating between LR Classic & Pages app to type notes. Today, a small screen popped up, supposedly from Adobe, asking for permission to record my computer's screen. I denied it, but would like to know why it would do that. It causes me some concern. Thanks for any answers.

Good day! HELP!!!I downloaded the light room set-up trial and when I installed it, it only updated the Creative cloud. When I press again to install it takes me to the page to purchase AGAIN the light room application. What can I do? thank you.

I'm missing a few folders in LR classic, they are not in Finder or the cloud.  What should I try next?  Thanks.

I have renamed the files in my cataloge.  The files are Tiffs.  I want to export them as Jpgs into a different folder and have the jpgs use the new name given the Tiffs.  However, the exported jpgs revert back to the original file name. Am I missing something? I am running Lightroom Classic 14.2 on a Windows 10 machine with 32gigs of RAM.

Can anyone tell me how to remove filters and view all of the photos?

Hi! I have got a problem with my login to the Adobe apps (all updated to lastest verions). Every time I start the computer (updated win 11 pro) and try to open Lightrom Classic, I get promted to login with my passkey (QR-code). This never happened before, and is quite annoying, since I also have to deactivate my current PC(!) every time to allow "this device". The PC name and ID is excatly the same every day, so I wonder if any of you have a suggestion on how to solve this problem? I could not find any solutions by searching. Grateful for any help 🙂   Cheers, Thor   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]
