Questions

As the title suggests, I'm still using Lightroom Classic 5.7 on my Winwos 11 and suddenly today - LR started crashing when trying to import new images. Does any one know how to fix this? Many thanks in advance.

So I am following these instructions to retrieve deleted photos:https://helpx.adobe.com/pl/lightroom-cc/using/restore-deleted-photos.html It says under "View Deleted Photos" : Click the "MY Photos" Icon.  Where is this??

Lightroom Classic is constantly "forgetting" where I usually import files from (my download folder on my Mac) and where I usually put them (a Misc folder in my library).The program collapses the folder structure for both the "where from" and the "where to" locations, forcing me to laboriously re-open folders to get to the ones I want to use.Is there a way to store a preset for these locations, or some other method that would prevent this unnecessary work?Thanks for any help the community can give here.

Hello, I have two work stations. One is my PC at home and other is my laptop I carry while working. I have only been using Lightroom Classic all this while and have never used the web versions of it until now. I recently looked into syncing which would be beneficial for me rather than keep transfering files from computer to computer. The issue is that when I am 'enable sync' from the cloud icon in Lightroom Classic on my home PC, it starts downloading the files stored in laptop (I already have local copies of it in my SSD). How do I stop it from downloading local copies but just let it sync to the cloud so I can edit on laptop whenever needed. Is there even an option like that?

Hello,   I found that this feature was requested several times and as it was not fulfilled, I add my voice and ask again for displaying file names in filmstrip view. When You edit thousand of pictures and Your client sends You a photo selection based on file names, it would save a lot of time to see the file names directly and not be having to mouse over and look in the status bar. It would be much better for orientation when scrolling through a huge collection.   Thanks!   Radim

On my Macbook Pro 2021 M1 the Lightroom Classic masking tool is keep on freezing. Specially when i work with the brush tool. After some time of using it, it starts lagging and it slows down significantly and it becomes unusuble. Then even if i just want to move to another picture it takes like 30 seconds till the new picture shows up. And when i want to restart the LRC it just freezes and i have to force quit it. Does anyone witnessed the same issue? Is there any solution for this problem? Thnx...

I selected the Remove tool.  Selected Use Generative AI and Detect Objects.  Brushed over object to remove.  But the remove button was not active.  I had a similar issue with the landscape Mask.  What is the problem and the solution?  Creative Cloud is indicating my software is up-to-date. [Using Apple 14 inch, M1 Macbook Pro].

This has been an issue since I started using Lightroom 6-7 years ago and never really thought about if there is a way to disable this. But when transfering settings to each image, why does lightroom more often than not, rotate masks to the improper positions, making me have to adjust them almost every single photo?  The photos are from the same set and are not wildly different, so there is zero need to constantly rotate them out of place. Exact same lighting, same background, only different poses with people. Very often times even if it's nearly identicaly, but just minor differences like looking a different direction, or eyes open vs eyes close.......it will still rotate the mask out of position.    It seems to LOVE slowly but surely rotating masks that are vertical, to always point from corner to corner instead or sometimes horizontal, completely off from where it needed to be or where it was, when copying it to multiple photos.  Can literally see t

So in the last few months Lightroom has been crashing increasingly frequently on my Windows 11 system. I have tried everything that I could think of including reinstalling, cleaning up graphics drivers and reinstalling, moving cataolog to different disk, creating new catalogues, disabling GPU in Lightroom, Resetting Lightroom settings, but nothing worked.   Initially things started with LR crashing when importing relatively large number of images (from few hundred to few thousands) but lately they have very frequent, like crashing every few minutes.   The crashes happens   1. When lightroom has to build a number of thumbnails and previews. This is related to imports (though I have turned off preview generation) when thumbnails for imported images are generated, it also happnes when I navigate to a collection (smart or regular) where LR has to generate thumbnails from many folders on the disk.   2. Doing heavy edits.   3. Strangely even if I am doing nothing and

Thanks for taking the time to read my post and provide help.  I'm guessing that my problem is a simple enough one, though I'm unable to find a resolution online. When saving a Preset in Lightroom Classic ("LrC"), as a standard the "Group" that it saves under defaults to the last one which was used (see the 1st attached screenshot).  For me, this has been the case for the last several years that I've been using LrC, and it makes sense so that when you're editing photos from an event, every time a Preset is saved you shouldn't need to reselect the same Group.  That would be such an annoying waste of time!About a month ago, I noticed that instead of this continuing to be the case where the default Group is the last one which I had selected, it has been reverting back to the original "User Presets" Group each time, including while I'm editing photos from a single event like a Wedding which I am currently editing.  I want each Preset to save in the same Group/ Folde

Hello,     1.) Lightroom 14.4 German / Camera Raw17.4   I am able to synchronise the KI Denoise over several pictures. If I  remove the Ki Denoise on several pictures I must go to each picture to unselect the Denoise button. Could you get me hints.   Wkr Eberhard   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

can't import nikon .nef files in lightroom classic on my mac Chrome, Mac OS X 10.15.7 LRC version 12.2 

I'm not sure if this is user error, but for the first time tonight, after using this app for about 5 years, the LR Classic window is stuck at the full size of my screen - not exapanded with the green, double-arrow button, but just stretched out accross the whole screen - and though I can move the window around, I cannot shrink it vertically or horizontally. I both force quit and updated the app and it still reopens with the same issue. 

I am using lightroom Classic v 13.0.1 on my Mac OS and am trying to import Nikon Z8 raw files. I do so just as I did before with my Nikon D780 and the previous LrC version and it doesn't find the photos. Apparently it only creates smart profiles and thinks the images are only on the card (which they still are) even after importing. Also, I am unable to use the denoise function. What is going on?

I deleted a collection which was synced to cloud and now it's trying to sync something which doesn't exist. I've tried resetting sync data which works until I close and reopen LRc. LRc tell me to send a diagnostic report to support. I can't do that because this forum appears to be the only option and won't accept a zip file. It can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hNoFF7yC2QXl1F4hboIeppPnDG8yN1-X/view?usp=sharing What can I do to fix this, it renders all syncing unusable.  

I run Lightroom Classic on my desktop (pc) and a laptop (mac air). My primary catalog is on my desktop and the catalog for my laptop is in OneDrive. Previously I had a windows laptop with the catalog in OneDrive and was able to import the laptop catalog, from OneDrive, into the primary instance on my desktop. Now when I try to import from the laptop catalog (from mac) in OneDrive into my primary desktop (pc), I get an error that says 'Lightroom could not import this catalog because of an unknown error.' Previously when I was using a windows laptop, it worked great but now it is erroring out. Catalog runs great on the laptop, just the import is struggling. Any ideass and/or suggestions welcome.

I am using Mac, Sonoma 14.6 and Lightroom Classic 14.4 release. I recently moved my catalogue from the cloud to my hard drive to speed things up. Now I have no images and LR crashes if I hit the "Catalogue" tab in preferences. I have disabled GPU, cleared my cache and freed us masses of space on my hard drive. I am now at my wits end, I can't even try another catalogue as LR crashes if I go to that window. Any suggestions? Please keep it simple, this is not my forte. It's driving me crazy.

Hi,After having issues with all the new features of LrC v.14.4 and bringing that to the Community, some suggested me to create a new catalog and to import the previous catalog into it. After many attempts I figured out I only got a small part of the 70000+ pictures and empty collections. Result: I had to import the previous catalog twice to get all of the pictures and collections with their History. See [V. 14.4 Denoise doesn't work (error)] for more on this.Now both the new Denoise AI and Distraction Removal (Reflections/People) now work as expected..Note: the new catalog had a different name and path from the previous when I created it.I got in trouble again when I started Synchronizing LrC with the Lr ecosystem.First Lightroom Classic downloaded everything from the web, taking days (and that is not yet finished). The "From Lightroom" collection exploded. I had 5 sync errors in LrC which I deleted. I noticed my collections were not in "Sync" status. So I activated sync for

Windows 11 and Lightroom Classic. Can someone explain this red dot. What does it signify? 

I have been working with masks the last week or so and have run into a masking issue where part of the area that is masked is corrupted and has a partial area that is distorted.  Also, when applying a mask from scratch, no slider adjustments of any kind, sometimes the masked area shows up a couple of stops up in exposure. In any case, the masked area has corrupted regions near changes in value, but also somewhat random. See attached photos for the picture worth a thousand words I can't think of right now. Lightroom has been flaky in general lately. Lightroom Classic 14.4 release  Camera Raw 17.4
