Questions

Been using Lightroom classic for several years on the same system – PC, Windows 11, with external harddrive. Opened it today and an error window popped up. Clicked on Next and LRC opened, but my photos could not be found.My workspace folder list looks like a version I had 3 years ago. Since then, I've added many folders, remaned a bunch and deleted others - All through Lightroom. I do a catalog backup every time I exit the program. I checked the hard drive and all my files are there, in the folders as I build them through LRC.Did the V14,2 update and still the same.Is there a way to reclaim the workspace catalog I had two days ago?Here's a screenshot of my overall workspace. 

Buongiorno, ho un problema con il collegamento tethering: uso windows 11 su portatile, cavo tethering professionale e Canon 5D mark IV.  Dopo aver iniziato l'acquisizione diretta questa si interrompe dopo 7/8 scatti, Devo spegnere tutto e riavviare lightroom

I just installed Lightroom on a new Macbook Pro and connected to my external drives where i store photos.  It is not showing any photos when I try and import them into a new catalog.  When importing from a memory card I get a message saying can't show preview when using Olympus RAW ORF files.  They used to work just fine before.  Attaching screenshots.  Any suggestions?

Windows 10.  Lighroom Classic 14.2 If I edit color tonal values for an image before converting to B&W, I'm finding that the converter is ignoring those edits.  Suppose I have an image with a blue sky and a blue lake and that I want to darken the blue in the sky, but not the blue in the lake prior to B&W conversion. I select the sky, select the blue color in the sky, and then turn the luminosity down to something significantly darker. Then I convert to B&W. The tonal changes to the blues in the sky do not appear in the converted image - the sky has the same gray tonal value as it would have if I had not made the mask at all.  This seems like a bug to me.  The B&W conversion should be using the image color tonal values in their final edited state when it does the conversion. As it is, it appears to be ignoring some edits. Obviouly I could use the color picker to turn the blue luminosity down globally, but this will also darken the lake. 

OS Windows 11 home 64 bit on ASUS 0413_DU25285_G713P_V3_ALRC 14.2 lightroom classic makes no updates of my catalogue, no matter what setting I choose in "bewerken/catalogusinstellingen/back-ups" (Dutch version)

Every time I edit an image using Denoise or Photoshop, LR changes Date Time Original to reflect the edit date, casuing the images to be out of order when sorting using Sort by Capture Date. I tried Metadata>Edit Capture time but it doesn't make any difference. I've enclosed a couple of screen shots and appreciate any help. 

Not sure if this is a bug so initially looking for some help in case theres is something I'm missing.  I have photos from last year shot RAW on my phone (Pixel 8 Pro) and I had edited them to my liking - in LrC 14.2 - but now, when copying all adjustments to other images I am noticing a totally different result. I made a virtual copy and  reset it, tried to reapply from the edited version and it's completely different. I am using a profile (JW Kodachrome PROFILE) set to 42 but I'm not having this issue with other images shot and using profiles.Now, I've tried manually editing the image to bring it back in line with my edit but I can never seem to get it quite right, close but not right.Examples:1st BAD COPY2nd MY EDIT3rd ORIGINAL RAW Any help would be appreciated!GARETH.

BonjourJe fais face à un problème auquel je n’ai pas trouvé la solution, merci de m’éclairerJe fais des modifications  à l’aide de la gomme et de l’IA GENERATIVE , ainsi qu’avec le module FLOU DE L’OBJECTIF. Ces modifications sont plutôt performantes et je les apprécie.Néanmoins, je suis face à un gros soucis :  Ces modifications disparaissent après quelque temps ou fermeture de LRC.  IL FAUT METTRE A JOUR certains paramètres notifiés d’un point rouge, pur retrouver la photo modifiée. Il faut refaire cette manœuvre à chaque fois !Il y t’il une solution ?(Pour info: je n’ai pas de crédits génératifs)Merci d’avance

When trying to export Lightroom Classic 14.2. one photo top jpg (a process I have done many, many times) I get a notification "An internal error has occurred: ?:0: attempt to index a nil value". I can't get by this problem, hence I can't deliver any photos. 

Na een probleem in Windows teruggegaan naar een herstelpunt toen alles nog goed werkte. Van Adobe kreeg ik de opdracht om in Creative Cloud desktop de updates te draaien. In m'n account zag ik dat alles geupdated was. Na het starten van Lightroom Classic kreeg ik een foutmelding van Adobe: 'Sorry, er is een fout opgetreden'. Het bericht is Fout bij het initialiseren van Lightroom Onverwachte systeemuitzondering. Als dit probleem blijft meldt het, zo gedaan.  Er draait geen versie van LR in taakbeheerAlleen geen oplossing gevonden/gekregen. Wat te doen en waar staat in begrijpelijke taal hoe Lightroom te verwijderen en opnieuw te installeren. Het vreemde is dat Photoshop gewoon start.De Lightroom versie is 14.2. Het is een Windows-systeem, AMD Ryzen 7 3700X X64 besturingssysteem, AMD Radeon RX580 met 32GB

Have just moved to a new Macbook. I used Apple Migration Assistant to move everything exactly across from one computer to the other. All 26000 photos are de-linked. For the most I can just find the new locations and then its fine. However, my oldest photos are from a Iphotos and Photo Library catalogue. These were working fine on my old computer. I can see that the photos have all been moved across. Issue is that when I go to find the new location the Iphotos and Photolibrary folders are greyed out in the folder. What should I do? The photos are definately on the computer in the location I need I just can select the location to relink??  

Everytime I make a change to a tif file in photoshop, Lightroom is not automatically updating with the changes. This message appears. Even if I click on "Import Settings from Disk", the changes are not persistent within Lightroom. The preview icon in the bottom strip reverts back to the original preview. This did not always happen. I am not sure what changed or how to fix it.  

Estou sofrendo de um erro em todos meus aplicativos adobe, todos meus aplicativos estão com problema de verificação de rede e no site quanto tento ver minhas informações tambem dão erro estou com esse erro ha duas semanas e agora a Adobe tirou meu acesso aos aplicativos, preciso resolver com urgnecia, tentei de tudo mas não consegui   

I took a LOT of pictures on my last vacation and there are 2 dust spots (GRRRRR!). Luckily, they show up mostly in the sky. This makes the steps using the healing tool in the "dust spot in the sky" photos repeatable. Is there any way to "heal" the dust spots in a single photo, copy those actions, and then "paste" them onto a different photo? This will save me many, MANY key strokes. Since I have done no editing to any fotos, I could make this the  first edits, then go back and do any other touch-ups (color, lighting, etc.) afterwards....IF that made a difference.

Hi to the communityI discovered lately that 2 specific folders don't display all pictures, some are missing.Typically these 2 folders contain respectively 575 and 121 pictures (confirmed by the Windows File Explorer).Lightroom classic shows only 460 and 22 respectively.When I try to synchronize the folder again, the first pop-up window shows that some files must be imported. But then when I hit synchronize, no new photo are display, as if there are already considered part of the catalogue.Here is an example with the folder with pictures from my trip to London in October 2024:  Please help me recover these photos which were properly imported at first, since I could edit them and even synchronised some on Adobe cloud. That is how I discovered that they were missing on my local catalogue.For information, these pictures are on a local drive. I'm using Windows 11 24h2 (latest build) and Lightroom Classic latest version (release 14.2)

Has anyone got a solution for the printing issue that currently exists in LR and PS with the Epson injet printers? The problem is that there is no way of selecting your paper/printer icc profile in these programs and therefore epson color controls the color output, see screen shots below. I have uninstalled all adobe software and then deleted all epson software and then reinstalled it all. Any ideas how to fix? I'm using a macbook pro - sonoma and epson sure color p800 printer. The only solution I have come up with is to let the printer manage colors and then you can select colorsync and then select your icc profile.  

One picture is worth a thousand words. Using LRC 13.5.1 on Mac Mini M1 Sequoia 15.0. This usually happens after LR sits for awhile without being used:

Using the latest version 14.2 of Lightroom, it keeps shutting down on its own.  I use Windows 10 Pro and Nvidea GeForce GTX 645, 32mg of ram on a i7-4770 CPU 340 GHZ.  When I have the graphics processor set to Auto the crashes begin.  When I turn it off as some suggest, I'm now getting notifications that my PC is not up to date.  This problem has occurred with earlier versions of  LR and turning off the graphics processor helps but has always resulted in a slower running app.  The difference now are the warnings from Adobe about the outdated PC to run LR.  I'm at a loss.  Does Adobe support,  anybody,  have any ideas for a remedy?

Hi everyone,  my Lightroom Classic (latest Update) has had Problems recently on my m1 max Macbook:  first, the program didn't open properly, after the initial loading screen the program thumbnail in the bar showed it as open but there was no window to be found.  then after running virus programs and various other tests to see if my mac is working right, it opened. However very slow and once the window pops up the rest of the program is stuck i.e. the thumbnails and photos don't load.  I tried yesterday to optimize the catalog but it tried for an hour after which i tried to shut it down making the program stuck.  now when I open Lightroom it opens with normal speed but then again the thumbnails and pictures don't load and the mouse cursor often turns into that little spinning rainbow showing that something is trying to process.  I am now dreading to have to reinstall everything and wanted to find help here. Can someone give me

Good morning, I have a problem with printing from Lightroom Classic: suddenly, this morning the "print with borders" option disappeared and now I find myself with this page in A4 format, where it does not allow me to do anything: do you see the darker gray border? I can't change it in any way! I find myself with thicker borders than those I had previously and in addition the lower one is also wider than the others.I tried every option but nothing, everything is stuck on those proportions. Lightroom version 14.2iMac whit Sequoia 15.0 

Hello, I am allready paying for the Lightroom and I have to many options to instal and use other apps without paying for them. I used for example the Bridge and I did not have any problem exporting images, but when I want to export a video in Premiere Rush, the program says I have to pay for it. Is it because I have used premium functios?  Why is? Am I going to lost all the work I did? Thank you. Need an answer soon.

Help needed please. My LR classic (windows PC) has stopped syncing to my mobile app devices (Android). Done everything right on the desktop ie. pictures are put into collections inside collection sets and the '2 way arrow ' is switched on.  the sync panel says I have used 3gb of my 20gb allowance.Other odd thing is when I open  a new catalouge and try to sync it tries to sync all photos in my entire Lightroom environment (and not just the ones in the new catalouge)

Hi,I am often traveling with my camera. During travel I download some of the photos from my Fuji X-S10 to the phone through Fuji-X app and edit those jpegs on phone in Lr Cloud. It works perfectly and I have set of edited and polished images ready for my social media. When I get home from travel, I import RAW+jpegs from SD card to Lr Classic and I want to print high quality prints on my printer. Its there any way how to batch-sync all those development settings to imported RAWs or at least high quality jpegs? I did try syncomatic plugin - but it is not exactly that - photos has to be side by side to apply sync and direction of sync is somehow presetted - I couldnt find way how to do it right. Do you have any workflow suggestion how to do this? Thanks,Miloslav

Howdy!  I have a fairly high powered machine. AMD 3950x (16core, 3.5GHz), 64GB Ram, Nvidia 2080 super (8gb vram), and dripping in Samsung 990 Pro M.2's. (Admittedly it was more of a beast in 2020 when I built it. 😉 It screams when I edit in in Premiere, simply tears through ProRes 4k video, both CPU and GPU ramp up to 90-100% utilization and run for hours.  The problem occurs when I use Lightroom Classic...I have an archive of 250k images on a Synology NAS (my archive for old projects) and active projects live on a 2TB Samsung 990 Pro M.2 (connected to the motherboard X570 Master) while I'm editing them. When I import/render previews (say 4k images from a shoot), it crawls...But not because the CPU and GPU are maxed out, as they run at 6-10% CPU and 1-4% GPU. Lightroom just doesn't seem to be trying. It's like it doesn't fully utilize my CPU and GPU. The only time I can get LR to utilize 100% CPU is when I'm scrolling through the grid and images that don't h
