Questions

I'm having some issues with the HDR feature in Lightroom Classic. When I select the HDR feature in lightroom and export the image, with HDR export selected, the exported image does not look like the HDR preview. It looks like the 'Preview for SDR display' option. I'm working on an m1 pro macbook with macOS Ventura which supports HDR. I thought maybe it was just the preview app so I moved it to the photos app and activated HDR display but no look, still looks like the SDR preview. I have also tried looking at the image on my phone and uploading to instagram, both of which are supposed to support HDR but neither display it properly which makes me think the issue is with the lightroom export. Anyone know how to correctly display HDR images?

Buonasera.vorrei sapere, visto che mi trovo diverse librerie cosa succede se le elimino e lascio solo quella in uso.Grazie

Im unable to use Lightroom Classic and Lightroom. It keeps crashing everytime I open the app. I have updated everything from my computer all the way to each app I utilize. My screen is saying my version is outof date, but it is not.

I am using an external SSD and Windows 11. Whenever my laptop's screen turns off after some minutes of inactivity (no sleep mode, but this also happens after sleep and waking up) Lightroom Classic prompts "Lightroom encountered an error and needs to quit".  After restarting the catalog everything is fine. How do I avoid this error? I do not wish to edit screen time out or sleep settings. The Removal policy of my SanDisk Extreme SSD is set to "Better performance" instead of "Quick removal". 

 --- updated based on further testing, this is not related to import from SD card or Hard Drive, I can reproduce it from either source-- This problem started with the latest version of Lightroom Classic (14.1, but persists in 14.1.1) - MacOS 15.3, MacBook Pro M4Pro, Sony RAW files (*.ARW) extension After importing RAW files using "Copy as DNG" vs "Copy" to a new collection specified to be sync'd: Expected behavior:1. Conversion of files to DNG2. Indexing3. Adding to specified collection4. Syncing of photos to Adobe Cloud Actual behavior:1-3 happen normally4. Syncing of photos doesn't happen - I DO see a new collection created on Lightroom Mobile ecosystem, but no photos are synced to it (photo count of zero), and there is no sync activity on Lightroom Classic. Pausing and restarting syncing does not solve the problem, unsyncing and syncing the new collection does not solve the problem, quitting and restarting Lightroom Classic does cause syncing to happen again

I imported and edited images in to a new catalog yesterday. Today, all the images aren't showing. When I choose "All Photographs" it says "1377 of 1395". All stacks are expanded. I tried importing the ones it won't show me, but they are greyed out in the Import window, meaning they are in the catalog somewhere. I have tried searching by file name and no results, yet I worked on them. No attributes selected. How to a enable visibility for literally all photos in a catalog, regardless of status?

Hello everyone, can someone tell me how to insert the Location metadata? If I drag the photos onto the map, the GPS coordinates are inserted, but not the Location. Thanks to everyone

Hi.   I would like to submit feedback regarding Lightroom Classic on Windows 11 with an RTX 3050 graphics card. When performing Denoise in the background while viewing the Develop panel, the screen occasionally flickers. Additionally, when applying multiple masks to an image, severe lag occurs not only for that specific image but also for all images in the filmstrip.   This issue began at some point after a Lightroom Classic version upgrade, as it worked fine during the initial period of using the RTX 3050. Despite attempts to resolve the problem through graphics driver updates and Lightroom version upgrades, the issue persists.   I suspect this may be due to memory leaks or similar bugs, and I believe it requires further investigation. The performance degradation significantly impacts the workflow, especially when working with multiple masks or performing background tasks like denoising. Your attention to this matter would be greatly appreciated, as it affects the overa

Ive just come back to Lightroom ater years away, yeah I maybe mad, but so far so good, just one thing, my documents folder in my Macbooks storage has now got 213gb, is this correct? it all seems to be photos, is this normal or have I done something wrong? Many thanks

Bonjour, J'ai installé ligtroom classic sur mon nouveau mac (sequoiai 15.2) J'ai 2 catalogues. Pour un, tout est OK, j'ai tout récupéré. Par contre, pour l'autre catalogue, il a bien toutes les photos, sait où les trouver mais il n'a plus les mots clés (je ne peux d'ailleurs pas en mettre de nouveau). J'ai l'impression qu'il est toujours en attente de quelque chose car à gauche de param prédéf. dans le module bibliothèque, une roue tourne sans arrêt. Merci et bonne journée. 

I am using Windows 11 with 32GB RAM and an RTX 3060 Ti 8GB. My graphics card drivers are up to date, and all my programs are confirmed to be the latest versions. My computer runs normally, but whenever I use the Denoise function in Lightroom, the screen turns black.It's not a monitor issue, and the PC itself keeps running, but only the screen goes black.I have also tried disabling the graphics card in Lightroom's performance settings, but the same issue persists.What could be the cause of this?

Hi.I've had to get a new PC and the main drive is smaller than my previous one, so I'm using an external drive for storing photos,and so they've moved from "C" to "D".I've finally got my backup catalogues installed in Lightroom, but all the pictures in all the folders are greyed out, and on the folders tab it still says "C" drive.How do I change that to "D" drive?Probably very simple and I'm just being a bit dim.Cheers.Steve.

I saved a book but when I reopen I have an autoformat that in no way resembles the book i saved... must be pilot error but cannot figure out my mistake .... any thoughts? Hours of work are going down the drain.

I know Trump gave the Golf another name, but it is not his waters and the international community does not recognize that name change. So the maps should show internationally recognized names outside the U.S..

Ich habe auf meinem alten Computer mit Lightroom 5 (gekauft) und Windows 10 gearbeitet. Jetzt wurde es auf meinem neuen Computer mit Windows 11 übertragen und zeigt nicht mehr die Raw Daten an. Bevor ich die neue Lightroom Classic abonniere, möchte ich die Daten so herstellen im alten Katalog, so dass ich sie importieren kann.Zunächst wurde die Raw Bilder als fehlende angezeigt und ich konnte sie in DNG konvertieren, die erkannt wurden. Ich habe etwas verstellt und jetzt kann man die Daten auch nicht mehr konvertieren, da sie nicht eingelesen werden. Ich bin völlig verzweifelt, weil es um eine sehr große Menge Bilder handelt. Adobe Support konnte mir nicht helfen.Vielen DankKaren

When I edit in Photoshp from Lightroom Classic, it shows ProPhoto RGB as the color Profile.I do not want this color profile. From Lightroom Classic Edit In Photoshop, how do I get it to show Working RGB?

Hey, For some time now my program memory in Lightroom Classic has been filling up - slowly and steadily up to about 80 or 100 GB! After that the program crashes. I have saved the current version of Lightroom. I use a Macbook M1 pro, 16 GB memory. Operating system Sequoia 15.01 What can I do?

Hi,I work with 2 cameras. I set white balance (WB) manually to get same colors from both cameras in similar lightning.Before it was Canon R6 + 5D Mark III.Now Canon R6 + Canon R5 Mark II. When importing images in LR, I'm used to see a small difference versus the kelvins values set in camera. Like +-150 kelvins maximum. But with R5II raw files, the values difference is really big (+-1000k).I can no more adjust the WB for all pictures from a similar scene by batch, which was a BIG time saver when editing. Are you aware of this issue ?Thanks for your time ! The tests I made, under artificial 4500K light, WB set to 4500K in cameraCheck WB values :5DIIIR6R5IIR5II with temp & tint values from R6---System infoLightroom Classic version: 14.0.1 [ 202410161356-30922cfc ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: enOperating system: Windows 11 - Business EditionVersion: 11.0.22631Application architecture: x64System architecture: x64Logical processor count: 32Processor s

Hi! As I needed more space on my laptop, I deleted old Lightroom (Classic) catalogs (and emptied the trash). Then I tried to backup the catalog I was currently using (the catalog which opens automatically when starting Lightroom), it didn't work, so I closed Lightroom. When opening again, most of my pictures were gone. I probably made it worse by uploading the most recent of my backups, which doesn't even contain my most recent pictures. How can I find my pictures? (I have no backup, but I didnt delete it either). Hope someone can help; weeks of work there. Thanks!

Perhaps I'm missing something, and I hope I am.. However after many, many hours cropping and editing photos, when I go to change the aspect ratio of cropped images for printing, it reverts back to the original image as though I haven't done any transform, crops, etc. I've removed onedrive, I've reset preferences, I've purged caches.. what can I do?

My Lightroom Classic updated to the new 14.1.1 (on a Mac), and when I just opened it it asked to upgrade my catalog to match the update I assume. Now my Lightroom is not working correctly (refer to photo). I have reopened this a bunch of times and nothing has changed. When I hover over photos, it seems to have the camera data such as aperture the photo was shot at, so there should be all the data in there, just none of the previews or actual photos are loading. I cannot edit, access, or see any of my photos. It also would not let me import any new photos. PLEASE HELP!    [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

HiThe denoise feature in Lightroom Classic stopped working when I updated to macOS Sequoia 15.3. Lightroom is on the latest version; I also tested it on the previous version, but it didn’t work either. I also tested it on the same batches of images that I had previously used denoise on.- Noise reduction is currently not supported for this image formatThese are the same DNG files that worked previously.

My entire lightroom catalog is in a folder called dropbox cache and I cannot reconnect it to my photos which are on an external hard drive.  I have tried many fixes but nothing seems to work.  The folders in dropbox cache all have question marks and when I try to connect the missing folder to my hard drive - nothing happens.  The only thing that works is reconnecting individual photos manually.  I have over 100,000 photos and this would take forever.
