Dear I would like to use a smart collection that depends on the keyword and I am having many problems:if the keyword has many words for instance “blue birds” and there is also a keyword “birds” if I look for photos with just “birds” it also shows photos of “blue birds” if I work  with keyword trees, for instance I do have “birds” and inside two other keywords “small” and “big”. Some photos do only have “birds” and other do only have “small” or “big”. If I ask the filter to show “birds” it also shows those photos with “small” or “big” keyword and that do not have the “birds”. another problem with the keyword trees: supose that I add another keyword “dogs” and inside it I have “small” and “big” keywords. I did not find the the solution to make the smart collection show photos with the specific  “big” keyword inside “dogs”. I have tried “dogs > big”, “dogs / big” but didn’t work I have been trying to use a synonim for each keyword with a code without spaces and asking to include the co

Hi, I had new 2nd shooter working with me yesterday, his CR3 files don’t show in my Lr Classic. I downloaded normal version of LR and all fine. I worked with CR3 files before and didn’t have this issue. Photos show fine in Photomechanic too. When i open a photo via photo viewer, it says “Locked” though i checked all settings and files are not locked, or read-only. I am lost of what else i can do ? 

I’m curious how other Lightroom Classic users handle the file-management side of their workflow when working with a lot of photos.After culling/editing/exporting, do you still end up doing things manually outside Lightroom — renaming files, moving images between folders, separating selects/exports, preparing files for another tool, etc.?I’d be interested to hear what your workflow looks like, especially the repetitive parts that Lightroom Classic doesn’t completely cover for you.

On my laptop I use Lightroom & Lightroom Classic. I am told that Lightroom Classic can be used on 2 devices. How do I get it on my phone. I downloaded the free Lightroom from the App Store. Is that different to the version I pay for.

i deleted light room classic files and now im trying to export files from aftershoot to lightroom classic and it wont open 

See attached screenshot.

Lightroom Classic 5.7 terminates when trying importing files.Worked well av few hours ago but now when starting the computer and Lightroom it terminates immediately.

I’m trying to bring out more luminance in my photos on my MacBook Pro with an XDR display. When I increase Exposure, Lights, or Whites to expand the histogram into the extra HDR stops, the colors end up looking like they came from an acid festival.When I check the exported HDR photo in the Gain Map Demo App, I notice that the gain map contains colors. However, when I look at HDR photos from Instagram or the Radiance+ app on iOS, their gain maps appear monochrome.Why is it like that, and how can I change it? Also, why does adjusting the HDR version of the photo affect the SDR version too? I already have a finalized SDR photo—I just want to add luminance for HDR without altering the SDR image.

In Lightroom Classic, when I use either the Radial or Graduated Filter, there is no handles. I cannot adjust the filter because there is nothing which allows me to move it with. Is this how it should be. It is not like this in Lightroom.

This is the screenshot…  … anyone else get this?

If I have two keywords, say, “Bob” and “Mary” I know how to search for all photos containing BOTH keywords. Is there a way to search for all photos containing one OR the other (or both)?

Create collection in LR not working. I click the button, nothing happens. Even with Smart Collection too.. no error message or anything.  I’ve tried to reset the preferences, I created a duplicate/new catalog. Nothing is working. Also, I can duplicate a collection, but I cannot rename it.. 

Bonjour,Je constate pour la première fois que mon LRC m’affiche “analyse des photos” et que progressivement sur chaque vignette il apparait une croix rouge. Qu’est-ce que ça veut dire ?  

J’ai posé une question il y a plusieurs semaines sur le thème [Lightroom Classic Discussions] Re: problèmes récurrents de synchronisation impossible à diagnostiquer. Je n’arrive pas à la retrouver dans la nouvelle communauté, et les liens contenus dans les notifications ne débouchent sur rien. Je veux reprendre la discussion et qu’on trouve enfin une réponse à mon problème !une personne Anshul_Saini m’avait demandé de lui envoyer par message privé un gros fichier de diagnostic. Il m’en a fait un accusé de réception, depuis plus rien. comment retrouver les messages enoyés et reçus ?Comment peut-on avancer ? je suis las de la complexité du fonctionnement de ce forum.

can’t elaborate any more . It makes no difference if I select brush, objector any other mask, the area selected area is blue and yellow. I have tried to get copilot help, but all to no avail. It seems to be since the last upgrade 15.5.1

Hi Adobe Team, I’m posting this as a clear performance regression report for Lightroom Classic v15.x — specifically the Develop module image-to-image switching latency on Mac. REALLY SLOW. Please do not merge this thread into a generic “performance” megathread and then mark it as “Solved” as if nothing happened. Multiple users are reporting the same behaviour, and it deserves a proper investigation and acknowledgement (instead of being dismissed as an “NVIDIA driver” issue — this is Apple Silicon). What’s happening On Lightroom Classic v15.2, switching between photos in Develop is several times slower than in previous versions. This is not a minor “feels slower” issue — it’s a real, repeatable regression that drastically impacts professional workflows. My setup  MacBook Pro (M3 Max) macOS v26.2 Lightroom Classic v15.2 Preferences → Performance → Graphics Processor: ALL acceleration options manually enabled (not Auto)  Proof / Reproduction To remove any subjectivity, I recorded sc

This post applies to Lightroom Classic and the Lightroom Ecosystem products.Post Camera Raw feedback here This thread is now closed. Please update to LrC 14.x or LrD 8.x. If you wish to provide feedback, please go to the new article. The Lightroom team is sharing an early look at Generative Remove, which makes it easier to remove unwanted objects and distractions, even on complex backgrounds, with a simple brush stroke. Generative Remove is powered by Firefly AI.   How to use Generative Remove on a desktop: You can find Generative Remove under the newly renamed Remove panel (aka “Heal”). Make sure the “generative AI” checkbox is enabled before you start brushing (note: when unchecked, Lightroom will use Content-Aware Remove to fill your brushed spots).  By default, you will be given a moment to refine your selection with an add or subtract brush. Remember to include shadows for a more accurate result! You can also skip this step by holding down ‘CTRL’ on windows or ‘CMD’ o

I am having serious trouble running Lightroom Classic on a Windows II PC laptop. Its GPU is an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. Is it possible this GPU will not support the latest versions of Lightroom Classic?Principally, LrC will begin to run slow or stutter after anything other than simple LrC operations. Start using masks, or for example ask LrC to generate Landscape masks, and sometimes LrC will even crash the computer. Now I can always go back to the old way of working, when I used LrC as a raw image prep for detailsed work in Photoshop, but if I could get LrC to run the way instructors say it should run, I’d be delighted. 

I am unable to launch Lightroom Classic

Greetings, as its my first time on Adobe forums Ill give a run down of who I am, if this doesn't matter skip the next paragraph.My name is Ian, I work as a college sports photographer mainly with two Universities (UMBC and Towson in Baltimore) as well as a few professional and club teams.  Thus I have photographed the same teams for years and have a lot of images of each player.  I shoot Nikon (doesn't really matter) but shoot almost everything in RAW if possible and then cull in PhotoMechanic and edit and organize in Lightroom sorting and flagging using a combination of ratings and color labels to sort my best photos and highlights for each event.  Thus I can quickly find my best photos and through metadata sorting the best photos or my exported highlights for each event or date.An issue Ive been trying to work around is finding all of my photos of a specific player or player number.  I get asked weekly by our Sports department or players or parents themselves for

Depuis l'installation de la version 15.1 message récurrent : Lightroom a rencontré un problème lors de la mise à jour des modifications par IA. Les futures modifications par IA ne peuvent être enregistrées et pourraient être perdues. Je suis administrateur et je ne manque pas d'espace sur le disque   Translation:  Since installing version 15.1, recurring message: Lightroom encountered an issue while updating AI changes.

Absolutely. Here is a concise message you can paste into Adobe Support:Lightroom Desktop – NAS originals location incorrectly shown as offlineI use Lightroom Desktop with “Store a copy of all originals” enabled on a UGREEN NAS.My intended local originals location is:/Volumes/Media/Lightroom Local Copy/Lightroom CC/The NAS contains approximately 36,251 original files in this Lightroom folder, and I can read and write to the folder from macOS. Lightroom Web also contains my complete photo library.My Mac connects to the NAS via a 10GbE direct connection: Mac: 192.168.10.1 NAS: 192.168.10.2 The connection is working and I can access the NAS normally.However, Lightroom Desktop continues to show:“/Volumes/Media is disconnected”and photos can show “Disk Offline / Local Pending”, even though /Volumes/Media is mounted and writable.I have already: verified the NAS folder and originals; tested read/write access; corrected the Mac/NAS 10GbE network configuration; removed duplicate SMB moun

I have created a synced collection with 160 images, 32 of which have synced and are visible in the online gallery, the rest refuse to upload. In fact some of them disapear from the collection (not from the catalog just the collection)I've created another collection, added the same images and the same 32 images upload and the rest don't, similarly some of the images get removed from the collection after 10 or 20 minutes.I have tried restarting lightroom, restarting the computer, pausing/restarting the syncing, clicking on the 3 dots at the top,  deleting all synced data, rebuilding of synced data and nothing works. LRC 14.2, Mac Sequoia 15.3.1
