Questions

I'm bitten yet again by Lightroom Classic's inability to move image files to my system trash.  I've gone through all the solutions I could find:Turned off Full Disk Access for Lightroom, restarted, turned Full Disk Access back on.Created an empty folder on the affected disk and trashed it.Created a Trash folder on the affected disk.I've run Disk First Aid on the disk. I still cannot move image files to my Mac's trash. I'm only allowed to permanently delete them. Are there any new solutions? Thanks for any help. MacOS Sonoma 14.4.1Mac Studio with Apple M2 Max

Description:When working quickly in the Develop module — applying an adjustment, navigating to the next photo with arrow keys, then immediately applying another adjustment — the second adjustment is visually applied for a fraction of a second, then automatically reverted. Both the image and the slider value return to their prior state. This is not a display/refresh glitch — the slider value itself rolls back, indicating the catalog write is being overwritten.Steps to Reproduce:Open Develop module, select any photo. Apply an adjustment (e.g., Exposure +1.0). Press the Right Arrow key to move to the next photo. Immediately (within ~0.3–0.5s) apply another adjustment (e.g., Exposure +1.0) via slider or keyboard shortcut. Observe: the adjustment briefly appears, then both the image and the slider revert to the original (unedited) state.Expected Result:The adjustment applied in step 4 should persist, as it does when waiting ~1 second after switching photos before adjusting.Actual Result:The

If you hit the escape key in the Import dialog, the dialog is exited and all organization is lost. The expected behavior would be to exit Loupe View and return to Grid View (staying within the Import function) as happens in the Library Module. I have muscle memory for this behavior and I keep destroying my organizational work within the Import dialog--(ie: checkmark selections for "Include in import") Either make the behavior consistent between the modes, or add a warning that "All selections will be lost, exit anyway?"

Hi everyone,I'm experiencing severe export slowdowns in the latest Lightroom Classic 15.3.1 on my Mac Studio (M1 Max, 24-core GPU, macOS Tahoe). Exporting 500 high-res RAW images to maximum quality JPEGs takes way longer than it used to, and my hardware is not being utilized properly.During the export process:•    CPU usage is pinned at nearly 100% (Full Red).•    GPU Utilization sits around 60-70%.•    GPU Render and Tiler utilization drops down to just 5%.•    ANE (Neural Engine) utilization stays at 0%.It seems like a massive I/O or processing bottleneck where the CPU is completely choked, while the GPU is just sitting idle waiting for data.What I have already tried (which only partially helped or didn't fix the underlying bug):    1.    Camera Raw GPU Config Fix: Checked the Camera Raw GPU Config.txt file and noticed crs:gpu_preferred_system="" was completely blank. Cleared the entire GPU cache folder and forced LrC to re-test the hardware.    2.    Hard Reset: Performed a full pre

Hi everyone, I recently downloaded some presets and imported them into Lightroom (using Windows), but they’re not appearing in the dropdown menu. When I try to import them again, I get a message saying “All items were already imported.” An Adobe assistant had a go at fixing the issue, but had to go away to look into it further. I thought I’d check in here to see if anyone else has run into the same problem and managed to sort it out. I believe he already tried opening new images, reinstalling LRC, and a few other things. Thanks in advance!

I try to install lightroom classic on my laptop, but the installer continues to run till I force my computer to restart. He gives me a conflict error. I work on a MAC with Tahoe 26.5 installed

When I click “Import” in the import dialog right after it opened and when not waiting until all files (and miniatures) were loaded in the import grid view, the import apparently only imports those files where the miniature/preview was loaded. 

I have upgraded to a new MacBook using MacOS Tahoe, V26.6.2 with LRC Release 15.5.1.When I look to import files from my card it does not see anything so I have to use Finder to copy files to my Mac and import from there.  Why does LRC not see the files on the card?

this occurs both in the filmstrip as in the raster mode and in both library and develop module.I use the dutch version of LRC

Using LrC 15.5.1 with CC subscription long term on a new MacBook Pro M5 running Tahoe 26.6.2.Sync generally worked with v15.5.1 previously on my M1, but since migrating to the M5 a few weeks ago not so much.I have about 50,000 photos and am trying to sync them in batches of 2000-4000 at a time. They start syncing fine and then at some point it just stop working and gets hung on a file.I'll just see the sync Local Activity in top right of LrC say it's syncing the same number of files (ie; remaining files) and hasn't changed in hours.In Lightroom Sync tab in Preferences, the same photo is listed at the top of the Sync Activity window and it hasn't changed for hours.The photos all say "Image" in the Sync Activity window of LrC and nothing lists any kind of error.I tried selecting the very top photo and applying a minor edit to see if that would "kick start" the process (the previous fix for some earlier versions of LrC) but no change.There no Sync Errors or Sync Error Album anywhere and t

Dear Adobe team,I recently upgraded to a high-end workstation running Windows 11 (Business Edition, fully updated) with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB, and noticed that Lightroom Classic 14.4 (build 202506051112) does not recognize or enable GPU acceleration.The app displays the message “GPU not supported”, and disables all GPU-related enhancements, even though:The GPU is fully recognized by OpenGL (GL_RENDERER: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti / OpenGL 4.6.0 NVIDIA 576.80).Photoshop CC 2025 detects and uses this GPU with no issue.The driver is up to date (version 576.80).I have tested multiple settings (auto / custom GPU selection, performance modes).This seems to be a listing issue, i.e. the RTX 5070 Ti is not yet whitelisted as a supported GPU in Lightroom Classic, despite offering full OpenGL and GPU compute support.Please consider adding official support for the NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti in an upcoming update of Lightroom Classic.Let me know if you need logs or diagnostic reports (config.l

Hello everyone! I am a travel food blogger, and I regularly take pictures of restaurant food for my website. I am currently using Lightroom to edit my photos, but I struggle with indoor restaurant lighting. The yellow/warm lights in restaurants often ruin the natural colors of the food.For example, I recently visited a fast-food chain to update my guide on the McDonald's menu prices in Poland and the indoor lighting made the food look very unappetizing in the raw photos.Does anyone have tips on how to color-correct harsh indoor restaurant lighting in Lightroom? Or any recommendations for a small, portable light I can carry in my bag?Thanks in advance!Aileen

I’m on Windows 11 and using the current versions of both LR classic (15.5.1) and PS (27.10.0), but seeing different color rendering between the two programs. I checked a lot of color settings but eventually noticed that LR is using Camera Raw v18.5.1 and PS is using v18.6.0.2698. I’ve checked Creative Cloud for updates, but none are available. Why wouldn’t LR be using the current version of ACR?Creative Cloud shows current versions of LRC, Photoshop & Camera RawLRC 15.5.1 is using Camera Raw 18.5.1Photoshop 27.10.0 is using Camera Raw v18.6.0.2698​​DNG file opened in Photoshop immediately renders differently on same calibrated monitor 

I spaced and moved a Lightroom Classic folder in my external hard drive instead of in Lightroom so now the images can’t be found. But, when I right click on the folder or the parent folder in Lightroom the “Find Missing Folder” option doesn’t appear. What’s going on? Thanks!

I installed the latest version of Lightroom, and every time I try to paste a preset onto a photo, I get the message: “Some AI models are downloading. Please try again later.” However, nothing actually downloads, and I can’t use my presets. And also I can’t use the AI in Lightroom Classic 

After a recent update, stripes started to occur in masks that were added with AI function, such as the people detection function.The people mask auto generated failed to identify the person and covers the whole photo, the mask geneted also contains stripes in it.Tried stopping the GPU, clearing the cache, evening reinstalling the software, nothing helped.The system infor is shown below.Lightroom Classic version: 15.5.1 [ 202608131348-cab7eed5 ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: enOperating system: Windows 11 - Home Premium EditionVersion: 11.0.26200Application architecture: x64System architecture: x64Logical processor count: 16Processor speed: 3.6GHzSqLite Version: 3.36.0Adobe GSDK Version: 1.4.0.213 CPU Utilisation: 0.0%Power Source: Plugged In, 22% (Low) (Charging)Built-in memory: 32253.3 MBDedicated GPU memory used by Lightroom: 13.1MB / 128.0MB (10%)Real memory available to Lightroom: 32253.3 MBReal memory used by Lightroom: 2307.2 MB (7.1%)Virtual memory used by Lightroom: 2

Import photos from one drive to another with a lightroom catalog. Files are copied and sent to new location but progress bar shows an incomplete process (two actually). They get hung up more than ¾ of the way through. I shut LR down and restart. All photos are where I imported them to? LR will not do anything else until I restart. I’m downgrading.

It's all in the title. But here's a screenshot of the problem.Because of this problem, local AI functionality is much slower.I have already tried the troubleshooting steps on the troubleshooting page, but without success.This is intolerable considering that I pay for the subscription to this software.I've attached my dxdiag file.I'm also experiencing the same issue with Camera Raw versions 18.4.1 through 18.6. Only Camera Raw 18.4 still works correctly. And my NVIDIA driver is fully up to date with version 616.56, released yesterday.

Long time LR classic (windows 11 w/ networked 25T NAS) and med term LR cc user (on an iPad when shooting and on road) who has successfully been able to import, visualize, and edit pictures on both platforms using the synched feature and Adobe Cloud Storage. The work flow is 1)import pictures from my Canon camera directly into a new folder in LR classic and onto the 25T NAS with the same folder name for permanent storage with a copy to a 4T external HD (with additional redundancy by weekly automatic upload into the Amazon Glacier S3 Cloud Storage). 2) create a collection (same name) from the new folder  and sync to Adobe Cloud Storage (1T). 3) I edit on any device (windows computer, IPad,iphone, web) and all are synched.  Problem is when I go the other way when I'm on the road shooting and want to edit before i arrive home. Workflow is:1)import pictures from my Canon camera directly into a new album in LR cc and sync to Adobe Cloud Storage (1T). Edit away2)when i return home, I log onto

HI! When I upgraded to Canon R5 from the 5Dmk3 a few years ago my existing VSCO presets wouldn't work properly and a wonderful person on here sent me new dcp files for R5/6 which solved my problem and was amazing! And of course after looking for 3 hours can't find who it was. I have a NEW problem. Went to edit some older images taken on my 5DMK3 and of course my presets dont work properly  - they show in grey italics and the image is a bit washed out . It seem after a lot of searching the problem is the adobe no longer supports this“~~C - Kodak Portra 400_.lrtemplate” Is anyone able to help me please ! Im ready to throw my computer across the room. I have thousands of unedited images on the MK3 id love to finish editing , and obviously want consistency! My images shot on the R5 are still being editing perfectly with my slightly tweaked presets :) cheers Jo! 

Hi, I’ve been researching for a while and tried a few options and not sure how to raise a ticket with Adobe directly so really hoping someone in the community can help please!I upgraded Lightroom Classic to 15.5 and couldn’t upgrade my catalog with it, it kept failing. I had synced to the cloud to edit on my iPad so I started to continue editing in Lightroom CC and forgot about it until I came to needing to export all my original images (so unfortunately I can’t remember what version I was on before or exactly what the error was as I did this in July) but all I could export on LCC today was my Smart Previews and I need to export my full size files to deliver to a client. I’m on Windows 10 version 22H2I’ve tried to open my catalog again in an older Lightroom Classic 15 and downgraded to 14 but it fails when I click to upgrade the catalog. I’ve created and opened a new catalog in old and new versions and tried to import my old catalog but it fails again on upgrade. It says “Unable to upg

Hi! How can I join the Lightroom beta program? I work at a company that assists photographers with post-production. Lightroom is foundational to our work, so I’m looking for a way to stay on top of upcoming releases. Thank you!
