Questions

In 15.3 they worked fine.In 15.3.1 pressing the button makes Lightroom think for a second but no mask is added.Downgrading back to 15.3 solved the issue again. 

My Adobe corporate account is no longer active as of 6/5/2026 and I forgot to transfer/download my LR photos to my personal account. I can't access the adobe account. Any other ways to access my former LR library? The articles I'm finding show how to initiate a download but you’d need to access the original account.thanks!Terry

j’ai sans cesse un problème de mise à jour IA pour les masques. Lightroom me dit que les paramètres doivent être mis à jour afin d’assurer un rendu de qualité. je fais “tout mettre à jour” mais cela ne fonctionne pas. le masque d’objet apparaît avec un triangle danger J’ai tenté ces deux solutions sans succès  :Problème de calcul IA bloqué :Va dans Bibliothèque Menu Photo → Paramètres → Mettre à jour les paramètres IA Attends sans toucher (ça peut être long et silencieux)Cache Camera Raw corrompuTrès fréquent avec les fonctions IA.Va dans :Édition → Préférences → Performances Clique sur Purger le cache Camera RawPuis :redémarre Lightroom relance “mettre à jour les paramètres IA”J’ai éteint et rallumé plusieurs fois.J’ai aussi fait la méthode indiquée dans le fil de discussion par Johnrellis et ça n’a pas fonctionné:1.

This was meant to be a bug report not question but oh well. Lightroom stalls when the bar get to ~5%.

How do I do this?WHen I try to import, with my iPhone plugged into my Mac, the Destination does not show up in the Import Module in LRC 15.3.1.    If I try to save or import from iCloud, all the photos show up as HEIC files, and are greyed out.   I have several hundred photos on the iPhone 17 that I’d like to import into LR. I’ve done some work on them using SnapSeed, but I prefer Lightroom.    

Lightroom Classic versjon: 14.4 Operativsystem: Mac OS 15   As of this new version I am not able to denoise a batch of photos, only individual ones. Can't find any guidance as to how this can be fixed. Hope you can help me, thanks.

Several of my folders have images that were imported and now are not showing up. For example, a folder in my lightroom catalog says I have 334 images when the folder  actually has 350.  If I choose import, it shows I have no new photos. When I go to Synchronize folder, it tells me 16 are missing and when I hit import in the Sync dialog box, it says no new photos are there. Pulling my hair out. I have deleted preview.lrdata file, reset preferences, expanded stacks, and tried all the suggestions in previous posts about this problem.  HELP. thanks. 

I have some old collections in LrC that were put on 500px using their now-defunct Publishing Service. I’d like to delete them, but I can’t. And I can’t reinstall the publishing service because when I do, 500px doesn't return a login code, because the plug-in is no longer supported. Any thoughts on how to get rid of these published collections if the original publish service is unavailable? Thanks.(Just trying to de-clutter my library...)  

Currently, Lightroom automatically reorders rules after saving and reopening a Smart Collection. This destroys the visual structure created by the user and makes complex collections significantly harder to read and maintain.For example, I often group rules like this:Photographer ACamera Serial Number 1 Camera Serial Number 2 Camera Serial Number 3Photographer BCamera Serial Number 1 Camera Serial Number 2Photographer CCamera Serial Number 1After saving, Lightroom rearranges the rules by field type, making it impossible to see which camera serial numbers belong to which photographer. Please preserve the user-defined rule order exactly as entered.In addition, Smart Collections would greatly benefit from organizational tools such as:Rule groups or sections Collapsible categories Visual separators User notes/comments Labels for groups of rulesComplex Smart Collections are often used as production tools and can easily contain dozens of rules. Without organization features, they quickly beco

I am using Lightroom Classic and I have a storage issue.Whenever I import photos into Lightroom or export them as JPEGs, it seems that copies of the files are being stored on my computer's internal drive. I would like to avoid this because my internal storage fills up very quickly.Some time ago, I copied all of my camera photos from the memory card directly to an external hard drive, and I want the original files to remain there. When I export photos as JPEGs, I also want those JPEG files to be saved directly to the external hard drive.My goal is that no photo files are stored on my computer's internal drive at all—only on the external hard drive.How can I configure Lightroom Classic so that both the original photos and the exported JPEGs are stored only on my external hard drive and nothing is saved on my computer's internal drive?

Hello,I use command+L a lot to switch quickly between filter on and filter off (especially when deleting photos).Again, after some time it happened, that it stopped working to turn filters on. No matter which filter I use (preset or manually), command+L only works one more time to turn filters off. Second command+L does NOT work to turn filters on again. Every following command+L shows “Library Filters Off”.When this happened before, AI told me (after trying many changes in settings and restoring files) to restore an old Lightroom catalogue. This worked then, and I did so because I did not loose many changes and hoped, the error would never occur again. But today, the idea of going back to an old catalogue causes sweat and tears.Why is the ability to switch between filters on/off stored in the catalogue?The above described solution can not be the only one! How can I get to turn on and off filters (with command+L or by using the menue) to work again as intended? It is too time consuming

Since Lightroom 15.3 update sometimes when I am going through photos in Develop mode photo wont switch, it switches on filmstrip but not on main window so I need to go back and forth for it to refresh. Same problem on 2 different computers, only fix is downgrading to 15.2. I dont know if its a catalog bug or not but my catalog is not corrupted, I tried optimizing it, changing integrity, disabling gpu acceleration.  Anyone experienced same problem? It's really annoying and time consuming.EDIT: title should say stuck, sorry for that. Cant change it now.

LRClassic ist auf zwei Macs installiert, der Katalog liegt auf einer externen Festplatte. Auf einem Mac (Mini M4) habe ich in der Vergangenheit die Bücher erstellt, dort sind die Bücher sowie auch die Benutzerseiten verschwunden. Die Fotos in den Sammlungen sind vorhanden. Andere Voreinstellungen (Importpresets, gespeicherte Orte im Kartenmodul) sind vorhanden. Schließe ich die Platte am MB Air an, sind die Bücher vorhanden. Eine am MBAir erstellte Sicherung des Katalogs und Start von dieser Datei am Mac mini brachte keinen Erfolg. Ich verwende jeweils die aktuellen Versionen des macOS und von LRC. Weiß jemand Rat, Danke, Wolfgang

I need help fixing a problem I cause moving photos from one folder to another. I had two folders, Lightroom Photos and Guy’s Lightroom photos. They seem redundant so I dragged the photos, in Lightroom, from the Guy’s Lightroom Photos folder into the Lightroom Photos Folder and then I remove the empty Guy’s Lightroom Folder.  Now, when I open the catalog and go the Lightroom Photos folder, all the photos are there but the chronological file system is gone. I have one big group of 14,000+ photos.  When they were in the Guy’s Lightroom Folder the were saved under Year/Month/Day/Capture Time.  I’ve lost that.  Is there a way to created that structure to where I moved the photos in the Lightroom Photos folder?  I’m completely confounded by this situation.

I’m trying to understand whether this is a bug, a regression, or an intentional workflow change.Until recently, I distinctly remember being able to use Lightroom Classic’s HDR workflow and choose Edit In > Photoshop, with the file opening in Photoshop as a 16 Bits/Channel HDR file using an HDR Rec. 2020 / PQ-style workflow. This preserved HDR headroom while still allowing normal 16-bit Photoshop layer operations and creative blending modes such as Overlay, Soft Light, Linear Light, etc.Now, when I send an HDR image from Lightroom Classic to Photoshop, it opens as a 32 Bits/Channel document. That does preserve HDR luminance information, but it disables many important layer blending modes and tools, which breaks a lot of normal compositing/retouching workflows.The confusing part is that Lightroom Classic 15.0 release notes mention updated External Editing support for exporting images to Photoshop in “16-bit or 32-bit HDR formats,” with support for HDR sRGB, HDR Rec. 2020, and HDR Disp

I have 90,000 photos & I have to highlight the most recent edit in history ,then the the most recent edit stays highlighted & and the thumbnail is displayed correctly- but i have to do this 90,000 times- is there a better way no apply it to all photos instead of hitting the enter button 90,000 times

Got a new XPS 15 to replace my old XPS 15. Newer graphics cards, more memory, yet AI Denoise takes an INSANE 45 minutes to render, sometimes more. Even on the old (8 years) computer, it never took more than maybe 5 minutes. What in the world is going on? Any help is tremendously appreciated. 

Description of Issue:In the Develop module, when viewing photos imported from a Canon R5 with the RF 24-105 F4 lens, sometimes when moving from one photo to the next, Lightroom Classic continues to display the previous photo. The issue disappears if I disable both Enable Profile Corrections and Remove Chromatic Aberration for all photos.Lightroom Classic Version: 15.3.1OS Version: macOS 26, Version 26.5.1 (25F80)MacBook Pro M1 Max, 32 GB RAMCamera Model: Canon EOS R5Lens: Canon RF 24-105mm F4Steps to Reproduce:1. Import a series of photos shot with a Canon EOS R5 and the RF 24-105mm F4 lens into Lightroom Classic.2. In the Develop module, make sure that the Lens Corrections panel has "Enable Profile Corrections" turned on and "Remove Chromatic Aberration" enabled for these photos.3. In the Develop module, move through the photos one by one using the arrow keys or by clicking on the next thumbnail in the filmstrip.4. Scroll slowly through the sequence until the issue occurs.Expected Res

So since 2 days ago, every time I try to apply a preset I get this pop-up saying “Some AI models are downloading. Please try again later.” that stays stuck at 0% and doesn't move.I saw one of the possible fixes may be to log out and back in, but when trying to log out I also get an error, the one in the attached picture.I've tried restarting my computer and router, changing firewall/antivirus settings, running as administrator, reinstalling LrC, and none work.It seems like all of a sudden LrC can’t recognize that I am connected to the internet.Does anyone have any other potential fixes? Thank you. 

The entire catalogue of photos is greyed out with three dots in the top right hand corner. It’s happened on two catalogue’s but others are fine. What can I do to bring back the preview image? When I click on each individual one it opens but I need to see the previews so I can batch edit

Running 15.3.1 and exported JPEGs are missing the caption. Other metadata is there. Can’t see it in Get Info as normal, and when trying to burn the caption using a watermarking app the caption is missing. This is a massive bug. 

So when editing photos and trying to save edits to several photos at once, the crop sign is blanked out...like it is dimmed and cannot be turned on or off so it is cropping all my photos!  Also when editing, these stars are showing up and it is taking so much longer to edit.  What is going on??  Biggest issue is the crop.

With an upgrade to version 12.1 LR has become painfully slow to the extent that it cannot be used. It takes around 50sec to start, 20-40 sec to open Preferences, 20-30 sec to go from photo to photo, tethering maybe does 1-2 photos than hangs, etc.When LR is started it literally draws the tools pallete one by one - each one takes like 3-5 sec. Happened with upgrade. Nothing was installed (nor software nor hardware) in between updating from 12.0.1 which ran normally to 12.1. Ok first to mention what I´ve already tried: - reading all the threads about this in the forum and tried all the solutions like:- turning GPU OFF: no effect (might be even slower) - absolutely latest version of GPU drivers (tried Gaming and Studio edition of drivers), Windows updated- resetting the preferences (manually and automatically, deleting old pref files, RAW defaults, etc) - all plugins are disabled (at the moment Mogrify is ON but tried with that one OFF also) - turned the antivirus and malware protection O
