Questions

Hi! Kind of a noob here, so please bear with me.   Problem: Today, while working in Lightroom Classic, I noticed that a bunch of my photos had an exclamation point icon added to them. See the image below. When I hover over the icon, it says "Error writing metadata" (pretty scary) Clicking the icon opens the window below. When I click "Import Setting from Disk" my adjustments seem to be cleared away (not great, lol).   When I click "Retry Metadata Export" that seems to fix the issue. The only problem is that there are thousands of photos that display that icon.   At first, I thought the issue was isolated to photos that I had made edits on, but upon further investigation, it seems that that is not the case.   Personal Investigation I'd Done: Naturally, I googled the issue but haven't found any definitive answers. In this thread, someone with a similar issue (I think) is told by @JohanElzenga  that this is a non-issue, Adobe is aware and working on a

I have always been able to rename my photos during import but recently that has not been working properly.I name my photos by date, then custom text, then a sequence. YYYY-MM-DD_custom-sequence #000When the photos import they are renamed in a random order and not in the order I took them.For example the 15th photo I took on my camera would be renamed 001Importing without renameing works but importing while renaming has worked since I have started using lightroom so I’m not sure whats happening. I also have not seen much on this issue online   

Les "modèles utilisateur" que j'ai créés apparaissent dans le panneau de gauche et dans l'aperçu en haut à gauche, mais ne sont pas visible dans la fenêtre principale (style de disposition : collection personnalisée) et donc, ne sont pas utilisables. De plus, le panneau de droite reste figé et ne permet pas de créer de nouveau modèles (p.ex. le sous-panneau "cellules" n'apparait pas).

Bonjour,Je fais des photos de concert et je les "débruite" systématiquement. Je viens de constater que sur ces photos le processeur  (Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700T CPU @ 2.90GHz) est occupé à 70% dés que je commence à travailler sur la photo. Quand je décoche "réduction du bruit" tout redevient normal. J'ai investigué un peu : les curseurs "haute lumière" et "ombre" déclenchent ce phénomène . Si on les remet à zéro , plus de problème. J'espère que je suis clair dans la description ...Ce problème est il connu ?  Sinon , quelqu'un peut il faire l'essai ? Merci et bonne journéeJoël j'ai oublié : widows 10 sur le PC    

How can I make a layout for collages for printing and save them (for future use) in PS or LR ?

I'm having trouble with the program synchronization between my Lightroom collections with the cloud. I had a photo that was appearing multiple times in every online collection taking place of the photos that has to be there, so I deleted the sync data and then created new sync data. Now I have the green check icon in the cloud, but it's not uploading any photos to view online. I've already uninstalled and reinstalled the program, but it still not working.

Hopefully someone can help or point me in the right direction. I got a new MacBook Pro and loaded the current version of lightroom classic. The problem is when I import photos into Lightroom (either using a card reader or directly from the camera) - the photos are NEF in Lightroom but on the hard drive they have shown up as Topaz Denoise. I deleted that to see if that would make any difference. But when I imported again - Lightroom had NEF but the hard drive had NX this time. I’m not tech so I have no idea how to fix this. I'm importing  COPY with copies going to designated spot on my hard drive. Thanks for any help as I’m really frustrated. 

LRC seems to have severe GPU memory leaks, at least v.13.3. It keeps growing till consuming 80-90% of 12GB VRAM (*), at which point all GPU-intense operations such as AI noise reduction become unberably slow, so I have to restart every 20 minutes or so. It does not contribute to a smooth workflow.Does anyone know a simpler workaround than just restarting the entire thing (that does not involve disabling GPU acceleration of course)? -----*) 80-90% is per Windows Task Manager when no op is running in LRC. Lightroom itelf says litreraly the following in System Info: "Dedicated GPU memory used by Lightroom: 13884.1MB / 12107.0MB (114%)" 

Regardless of how I try and open LR Classic on my MBP M1 Max 64GB memory Ventura 13.2.1, I rcecive the same error report : "Adobe Lightroom Classic Quit Unexpectedly" It occurs with Lightroon CC as well.I HAVE SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED, BUT TO NO EFFECT.Any thoughts?Cath Here's a selection of the report sent to Apple:Process: Adobe Lightroom Classic [2163]Path: /Applications/Adobe Lightroom Classic/Adobe Lightroom Classic.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Lightroom ClassicIdentifier: com.adobe.LightroomClassicCC7Version: 12.4 (12.4)Code Type: ARM-64 (Native)Parent Process: launchd [1]OS Version: macOS 13.2.1 (22D68)Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT)

When I Delete photo from disk while in Develop panel, after deleting next photo is not selected and I have to take mouse and select it. When I try to use arrow keys to jump to next photo, it jumps to the end or beginning of stripe. It is annoying and slowing workflow.

LRC is not importing pictures. When I open the import window, I see the files, but the thumbnails are grey. When I press the import button nothing happens. When I stop the importing I get a message that that no videos or photos were found to import.

Hey y'all, For the last few months I've been encountering an irritating bug that I would love some help solving.  I have a catalog of around 90,000 images--a mix of digital camera files as well as film scans. Running Mac OSX Sonoma 14.4.1 with Lightroom Classic 13.2 (CC, updating automatically). The issue: In Library grid view, I see my edited images, but when I select an image, after a few seconds of "thinking", the edit dissapears and the image shows as if it just came straight from camera (unedited). This remains the same when I move into the Develop module. The edit history is still intact, so I simply have to navigate to the most recent (top line) of the edit history and select it to reload the edit. Almost like I'm reminding it that it's been edited.  This bug only affects images from before a certain date. So if I import new images and edit them, they hold their edits just fine. But the majority of my libary is affected by this issue. It's not the e

I am having issues with LR (15.0.1) behavior when applying auto profile lens corrections (via copy/pasting, "paste from previous," or creating/applying a preset).   As soon as I reduce the "amount" of distortion or vignetting, the profile setup gets changed to "Custom" and as such copy/pasting applies the exact lens profile (the model & profile of the copied image) to the next image regardless of whether it used that lens or not.   My usage case is something like the following: 1) I have pictures taken on a Canon EF16-35mm f2.8, as well as pictures taken on a Canon EF35mm f1.4 and a Canon EF50mm f1.4. 2) Often when I click "Enable Profile Corrections," I like to turn the distortion correction to "0", and reduce the vignetting correction to 50. 3) When I proceed to the next image and paste from previous, LR also applies the Lens corrections with the lens profile & model of the previous image. The can be quite frustrating, as any change of lens means I have to avoid cop

Suddenly i am receiving a 2nd prompt screen when Exporting a photo to disk. As far as i know i have not changed any settings. The first screen has "Export To: Hard Drive" and "Export To: Specific Folder" with a valid folder selected. When i click Export a Windows File Explorer window appears with the proper folder already selected and i simply need to hit "Select Folder" to continue. Anyone know why this is happening?Thanks in advance. Windows 10Most current version of Lightroom Classic

Hello,I need a download link for Lightroom Classic 12.5.2 - I know I was given one a few months ago, but can't seem to find the download anymore. Life was very hectic the last months, please forgive the redundancy of my request…Thank you !T.

I have configured Lightroom Classic to use the GPU,  all settings are checked in Preferences.   Yet when I check System Info GPU is clearly NOT enabled.   V15.01 takes minutes to load evern with an empty catalog and subject masking amongst others takes forever.   I have been working on this for days and have now run out of ideas.   Please check my System Info : Lightroom Classic version: 15.0.1 [ 202511041508-dddee541 ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: enOperating system: Windows 11 - Home Premium EditionVersion: 11.0.26200Application architecture: x64System architecture: x64Logical processor count: 28Processor speed: 2.1GHzSqLite Version: 3.36.0Adobe GSDK Version: 1.4.0.171CPU Utilisation: 0.0%Power Source: Plugged InBuilt-in memory: 32536.5 MBDedicated GPU memory used by Lightroom: 2760.1MB / 15907.0MB (17%)Real memory available to Lightroom: 32536.5 MBReal memory used by Lightroom: 3144.6 MB (9.6%)Virtual memory used by Lightr

I have run into a problem after upgrading to the latest version of Lightroom Classic. I keep having an exclamation mark on my ultimate parent folder, but there is no exclamation mark on any of the subfolders. Hence, I can see if there are any missing photos. Everything seems to work fine but I’d like to get rid of the exclamation mark. I have tried to make a new catalog with the same photos. This works and the exclamation mark disappears but I am loosing all my collections. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

I'm using Lightroom Classic version 15.0.1 on a MacBook Pro, Sequoia 15.7.1.I understand that you may get an icon showing that folders have missing subfolders in them. My main folder, Pictures, shows the icon. I have gone through every folder & subfolders within that parent folder, and none of them have the icon.I have no idea how to get rid of that icon without starting a new catalog and reimporting all my images (26K+).Is this a bug as was suggested by a Lightroom Classic guru, or am I missing something?Thanks! 

Running LrC 15.01 on Mac mini M4 Pro with 64GB of memory and Tahoe 26.1. Catalog is on the main drive with over 300GB free. I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling LrC. I also tried factory reseting the preferences on LrC.Certain things are not responsive. The most recent example is exporting. I selected 10 photos to export and hit the export button. It took over a minute for the export dialog to come up. I selected the options I needed (nothing exotic and nothing that has not worked quickly before) and it has been several minutes already and there is no sign of the export happening. Another example is marking a photo as rejected. I hit the X and it says the photo is rejected but it is not marked with an X nor grayed out in the grid view until minutes later.I observe that LrC is often running at around 100% in the background regardless of whether I am doing anything or not. I left it overnight and it was still doing 102% CPU usage in the morning. I have paused sync, AI culli

I recently had the external hard drive containing all of my images fail. Today the 4 TB WD SSD from Backblaze arrived. My Macbook Pro shows this new drive in Finder but LrC is not seeing it. I've used multiple SSDs in the past as I travel quite a bit and never had a problem with it recognizing any of the Samsung T7s that I use. I am using LrC version 15.0.1. Apple M2 Pro  Sonoma 14.6.1. 

Problem: If I made a mistake in a face assignment to a named person, I cannot fix it. Steps to reproduce: Double-click the face of any named person to open up the collection of faces assigned to that person ("Confirmed" panel). Right-click any face - no menu available. This means that if I made a mistake in the assignment, I cannot fix it. I'm pretty sure that this worked before the latest LRC update.Expected result: Go to the People panel, right-click on any of the named people and you'll get a menu including the option to "Move to unnamed people".Version of the app: 13.2Platform and OS version: Windows 11 Pro - 23H2Thanks, Adriaan Sachtler

Hola, En Lihgtroom 15, cuando se importa un preset despues no sale en la lista de la izquierda. y si se crea uno, no aparece en las demás carpetas. Aunque esta instalado y no se le puede llamar. Es decir que creas un peset y no lo puedes usar en otras carpetas o catálogos. El preset solo lo puedes usar en una carpeta.

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
