Lightroom Classic 14.3.1Windows 11 Pro 24H2Since some weeks, my Lightroom library seems to have hiccups.When opening a picture in Develop mode, it is often not shown. There is only an empty screen.When I select another picture in the bottom bar and then select the first one again, in the end it is shown.However, when I select the other picture again, the first picture remains shown.None of my edits (edits, crop overlay, remove, masking) are shown in the right sidebar anymore. Everything seems to be reset.Some pictures indicate a mismatch between the Lightroom catalog and the file on disk, but for most pictures this is not the case.All XMP files are still there.Trying a backup catalog does not resolve the problem. Clearing disk space (used to be 25 GB; is now 125 GB) does not resolve the problem.Do I need to remove some of the .lrcat-data files (and is it a destructing operation)? Any advice on how to repair my library is appreciated.

I was typing a folder name when lightroom opened and whatever I was typing must have started facial recogniction. "pausing" it in the upper corner does not stop the process at all and everything I found online doesnt seem to do anything!Looking for help on how to stop it as i am afriad itll crash the app or my computer if it continues! 

Hi Adobe Friends -I have upgraded my 2017 iMac to a new Mac Studio.  It's now time to move a few things over (LrC presets and Photoshop).  I've been down the YouTube rabbit hole and it seems everyone has very different and very confusing advice on this.   So, I thought I try my questions here.   First, in LrC, I don't want to move all my photos over.  I have a ridiculous amount and I'd just like to start fresh.  I would however like to move my current presets over as they are now.  Is there an easy way to do this?  Do I need to install LrC and/or Creative Cloud on my new computer before I move my presets over?   Moving Photoshop over looks to be a little simpler, but I'd take any advice/instruction on that if you have any.   I feel like this is going to require a call to Adobe and I'd like to avoid that if possible.   Any help you could provide would be much appreciated.   Tony 

Is there a LRC and PS version that can be purchased once with a lifetime activation that doesn't use the CC? I store all my work on my pc and would only update if/when an update is available. I've seen one site that offers both LRC and PS 2025 for $48.00 US dollars a piece. I'm not sure if it's legit or not.thanx

I have successfully used and had books print from LRC to Blurb but this time I have a problem.I am using the previous update as I had started this book a few months ago and didnt want to update LRC half way through a book.When I try to 'Send the book to Blurb'.   It goes  just over half way across in the top left 'Uploading Book to Blurb'.  and then an errornotice comes up but doesnt tell me what the error is. I close Lightroom down and start again.Earlier it gave me the photo which was the problem so I removed it from the book and used a different photo.. The Export Book to PDF worked ok.I really dont want to make a mistake this book has taken me so long to make so any help appreciated.I am using LRC 12.4. on a  macOS Ventura

Hi there,I had a broken catalogue, afterwards Lightroom "repaired" the catalogue.Now the star- and colorratings from my most recently used folders are missing. Everything is rated with zero stars.I made a backup yesterday, is it possible to import just the starratings from my backup?Because i dont want to loose the editing progress that i have made since then. Thank you for any help!Best regards Valentin 

In LrC, I inadvertently clicked “Don’t Show Again” option for the Edit In > (PhotoShop) command pop up menu. How do I turn it back on?Apolgies ~ pretty sure this is a rookie mistake, but I've been unable to find it on my own.I am using the most recent versions of LrC, Photoshop, and Mac OS on a Mac Studio.TIA

I have an annoying issue, botn in LRC an in PS often, while the pc is working to apply a correction, importing images, run AI tasks, my keyboard turns off. I have to unplug the USB connector and plug in again. I changend Motherboard and Graphic card and PSU, but this issue still remains. Every 5 minutes I 've to stand up, go to the back of the case, find the plug and so on.... No change o version and drivers helped me.

When editing images in the Develop module, images will randomly (without being directed to) rotate in the main viewing screen. I am using the most current version of LRC (v14.3.1). On a PC. Please see attached screenshot from 5.12.25 showing what is happening in the Develop module. The image has not been rotated and appears correclty in the Navigator window and the filmstrip view at the bottom. Please see second attachment for my computer specs. Since updating to version 14.3.1 a couple of days ago, this has happened to me at least 10-20 times. The only way I have been able to get the image to return to its proper orientation is to exit LR and reopen it. However, sometimes this is not correct the situation. Any suggesions or help that you can give is much appreciated. I am on a very tight deadline to complete edits of photos for my client who is a graduating senior.

Hello,  I have issues with sync from LR to LRC.If I marked some photos in LR, they are not marked in LRC, same behavior with star notation. but if I marked  in LRC, they will be marked in LRI think my sync does work only from LRC to LR, but not in other ways. It worked several months ago.Thanks if you have any idea Hervé

For over four years, your software has been subject to numerous lags when using masking tools.There are posts about this problem every day.You constantly move from the bug section to the discussion section. Because you don't take responsibility for this problem, which is ruining the lives of many photographers like me.Your new solution is to make us turn off GPU acceleration or upgrade to an older version of LRC.Sound like a joke.. I don't understand why you don't take responsibility for this problem. It exists; it's ruining our lives. EDIT: Subject move from idea to discution in 30seg. gg adobe team

I upgraded to Windows 11, and it's worked fine, but recently, Lightroom Classic has become unresponsive. There's no crash prompt, so I have no crash report. My Lightroom catalog is on my C: drive, which has 229 GB free. My system has 64 GB of physical memory. The only way for me to recover is to close Lightroom or end the task. Do you have any idea what's causing this and how to fix it?

Hallo Lighroom-Spezies,ich habe folgendes Problem: Nach dem Wechsel auf einen neuen Rechner (von Windows 10 auf Windows11) bekomme ich diese Fehlermeldung Durch einen Neustart wurde der Fehler nicht behoben.Ich habe vor der Installation meine Bilder vom alten Rechner kopiert und auch die Katalog-Dateien kopiert.Würde mich riesig freuen, wenn jemand eine Lösung für mein Problem hat.Gruß Rolf

Hi guys,Having renamed a file I sometimes need to find out the original file name so as not to delete its master by mistake - if the renamed file is a copy, or if it's a master to a copy used elsewhere. I think you get my point.Thanks a lot,Raphael

Overnight the AI Denoise function says 'Denoise is not currently compatible with this photo format'. I am half way through a wedding gallery, RAW Sony Files. I have already processed many shots with AI Denoise, but now it is not available.I cant find a clear answer online or in this forum.Latest version of LRC 14.3.1 and CAM RAW 17.3.1 installed on MAC Apple M1 Max, OS 14.5Thanks    [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

I must be missing something obvious, but I can't find a way to sort folders or collections by date.  How do you do this? My folders have descriptive names. I have no interest in naming them by date.I would like the most recent at the top so that I could easily look back chronologically. This was dead easy in Aperture, but somehow I can't find sorting options for folders in Lightroom. Collections seems to allow sorting by name or by kind, but that doesn't help either.As it is now, if I want to find the photos I shot a few weeks ago, if I don't remember the wording I used, I have to go back to the Finder, sort by date, find the folder, remember the name, and then go back into Lightroom and look for it in the alphabetical list.

I edited this image in April and submitted it to a photography contest.   At the time I darkened the background with a mask. I then esported the image without any problem.  However now, in June when I export the same image a halo is created around the subject.  In Develop mode the image looks normal (no halo).  When I shift to Library mode the mask moves slightly away from the subject leaving a halo.  I cannot find a way to get around this.  I won a contest with this image and now the contest admin wants a higher resolution image so it can be printed in a poster and place on display.  Help!  Lightroom Classic 14.31 Camera Raw 17.3.1Mac Sequoia 15.5Apple M1 Pro32 GB Memory

I got a new computer and hired someone to transfer all the data. Hundreds of photos in LR are blank or state"this file cannot be found". How to I fix this?

Buen dia, tengo uin problema con la visualisacion en light room classic y light room cloud (las dos apps), al momento de abrir una foto ya sea para revisarla antes o despues de importarla o al momento de revelar aparece la imagen sobre expuesta. Evidentemente no se puede trabajar correctamente. Hice algunas pruebas exportando archivos editados y sin editar  y comprobe que es problema de visualisacion ya que al poner ajuste automatico y exportarla la foto que resulta se ve correcta, con minimos ajuste claro. Alguien podria oprientarme sobre como deshacerme de este inconveniente? Mencionar que las fotos son tomadas con una camara A7 IV con el archivo de sony ARW. De ante mano agradezco su ayuda. Dejare ejemplos en imagenes del problema. 

Today I come to talk about similar faces when I select a face. I had to remake my catalog of 170.000 pictures/videos, and I found that selecting similar faces on person face its like a Captcha puzzle. First faces are easy to resolve, but i have similar faces below separated from the first ones. its like isnt ordered by match percentage and this is making me work more than expected. Imagine having 10/20k similar faces and not ordered by match percentage.. Anyone is having the same problem? Will be fixed or re-make some day? version: 14.3.1os: macos sequoia Best Regards,Ariel

I am trying to find a way to reorder the Mask menu items.  I would like to move the Effects Menu so that it is under the Tone Menu.  I other words, I would like to use the same order I have for the Main menu in the Mask's menu.
