Questions

I downloaded the latest 14 version of LRC last week. This week I imported new photos to edit, and there was constant error with the subject masks I use, that every time I 'fixed' it as the LRC asked, it came back again.  I read in this forum that there is another update 14.0.1 that fixes it. I downloaded it also, and the problem hasn't gone.  After a lot of tries and frustrations I downloaded back the old 13.x version, and went back to the old catalog,uploaded the photos all over again, started to edit again and still this error exist!  I can continue working with this right now, and I have costumers waiting for their photos, and also I have my whole time dedicated to editing - I simply can't edit and do my work because of this bug!  Please, help me and fix it!

I've seen commentary by people who appear to be expert Lightroom users, giving contradictory information about large catalogs in Lightroom Classic. Some say 100,000 images in a catgalog is totally fine, and others say that Lightroom starts slowing down when you hit 10,000. I have LR 6.14 on a desktop PC with about 46,000 images in the catalog. The PC is running Windows 10 and has 24 GB of ram and a quad core CPU. The catalog is on an internal SSD drive. It sometimes get pathologically slow, for example taking 10 seconds to click on an image when selecting it in the Grid view. Sometimes it seems to just go out to lunch for minutes with the program winking out and reappearing, unresponsive until it settles down. On the other hand, scrolling in Grid view is usually responsive. I have the graphics accelerator suppor turned off becuse LR crashes more often with it on (yes, I have the latest drivers).  

Good morning a help . While it was working normally . it does not show me the photos now . can someone help me ? thanks a lot

I use a laptop for all my editing but it only has a small SSD drive and so at the moment I have the original files stored on a portable external 1TB hard drive which I plug in when I want to use lightroom. I have just purchased a NAS for backups but I also thought if it was set up as a personal cloud at home, I could store my original (ever expanding) photo files on that drive and access them with lightroom classic on my laptop. (leaving the catalogue on the local laptop drive)1. Is that setup possible and my best option?2. How do I set this up in LR once I move the files from the portable external hard drive?Thanking you in anticipation.Gavin

Hello I am trying to move a folder from one parent folder to another but LR is telling me the folder already exists in the destination folder and does not allow the move.. The folder is named by a date, 2022-07-03 and I want to move it into that years images.  The parent folder is just called 2022. There is a folder with images in the correct location in my library but is does not show up in my LR folder list. The folder I want to move is also in my Library and shows the same images as the other folder.  I can search "All Im ages for an image from the folder but only the one is found, in the folder I want to move!. If I try to import the images from the first folder to the folder supposed to be in the Library already, they  cannot be selected and on the destinations side, the folder shows as being in place. To try a work around, I imported an image into the destination folder, gone to the file location and it is the only image in that folder

I am using the blur background adaptive preset.  But it doesn't select everything perfectly.  How do I refine the mask created when using that preset?   Thank you for any help.

I've been going crazy trying to get my prints to match my screen. I have a color-calibrated monitor, and I have used both self-generated (via i1Studio) and Canon-supplied profiles. Last night I made two prints, one from Lightroom Classic (14.0.1 release) and one from Photoshop Beta 26.2.0 release. Same computer, same paper, same Canon driver. I specified the paper as Canon Pro Luster paper. I specified that Photoshop and Lightroom would manage colors, each using Canon's "PRO-1000/500 Photo Paper Pro Luster" profile. The Photoshop print came out with a distinct green cast. The Lightroom print came out very close to what I had on my screen. See attached. Any suggestions as to what is going on? MacOS 15.1.1

I've been digitizing B&W negatives with my OM System camera and processing the files through Lightroom Classic. Generally good results. I decided to try high-res mode, where the camera combines a series of photos taken as the camera's sensor shifts microscopically. Processed in Lightroom (import with card reader, crop to edge of negative, desaturate, run through Negative Lab Pro) you can see the film grain, but it's very fuzzy. But the same files loaded into OM Workspace then immediately exported as TIFFs to Lightroom and otherwise processed identically, produce cracking sharp images, with film grain clearly delineated. It seems like Lightroom isn't properly handling the OM System file. Why not? I am using Lightroom Classic, version 13.2, running on Mac OS 14.2.1 (Sonoma). The camera is an OM-1 Mark II. Here's a partial screen shot showing a comparison, zoomed to 200%. 

So I am trying to send some current develop settings to my Stream deck using the SDK and am looking for the right way to obtain the values whenever the Develop Tab is opened, a new photo is selected, or adjustments have been made. From the docs the AdjustmentChangeObserver in the LrDevelopController should provide a lot of that information, but when I set it up like below, I do not see any traces in my log, assuming it's not being called:myObserver = {} -- Function to monitor slider changes local function adjustmentChangeObserverCallback(propertyName, newValue) logger:trace("Adjustment changed: " .. tostring(propertyName) .. " = " .. tostring(newValue)) -- Callback function is triggered when an adjustment changes if propertyName and newValue then -- Log the property name and its new value logger:trace("Adjustment changed: " .. propertyName .. " = " .. tostring(newValue)) -- Example: Perform some action when exposure changes if propert

I've had 4 attempts at uploading photos from an sd card (that has always worked) with 14.1 & 14.1.1Lightroom keeps locking up part way through (at different stages) and crashing my PC. I have ample disk space etc.I'm using windows 10.Very frustrating ... any suggestions?

Lightroom Classic 14.1 on Windows 11 When I edit a photo in Photoshop choosing the option "Edit a Copy with Lightroom Adjustments" with following parameters:File format: JPGColor Space sRGBBit depth: 8 bits/componentResolution: 240Lightroom Classic creates a huge JPG file, more than 100 MB for a 45Mpx image (shot by Nikon Z8) or even for a 24Mpx (shot by Nikon Z6II). The file is so big that PS can't open it and gives me the error message "Photoshop could not complete your request because of a program error". I have no problem opening any other file I have. If I use any other external editor (even Paint, but usually I use Topaz Denoise AI) with the same export parameters, the JPG file created by Lightroom Classic has the usual size of 6-8 MB and I have no problem opening in Photoshop.

I've had my computer taken in twice after randomly crashing, getting super hot- fans kick on automatically the first time they diagnosed a logic board failure. They then updated to 32gb where was 16gb under Apple warranty. Well now it crashes even faster, but passes every diagnostic test. It crashed and froze in the store as well and the repair Apple certified store now has to send to Apple to figure it out and I am not not understanding why it's mostly involving adobe. It has more then enough space, hardware is new. Frustrated I spend so much on the laptop and so much on my subscriptions. Anyone have this too?

Hi,I use a large OneDrive account (several TBs) to store my photos, using them mainly on 2 devices.On this Onedrive account the LR Classic catalog files are also stored. The folder is always / automatically synced. But sometimes I have problems to open a catalog. In the worst case I can't open it anymore – without getting any error message. And in the Task-Manager it looks like this:   My question: can I use/save only the LR catalog file in the Adobe Creative Cloud Storage, but leave the photos where they are, in OneDrive? Thanks!mycc  ... my photos take up more than 100 GB – too large for the Creative Cloud Storage ...  Edit: I was able to repair the corrupt catalog via:https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/kb/troubleshoot-crash-or-freeze.html#:~:text=Press%20and%20hold%20the%20Alt... but my question is still the same 😉

All of my photos and videos are on Network Attached Storage with backups, redundancy etc. I am trying to make an import preset that takes Videos off of an SD card, and copies them to the network folder.   \\HomeServer\Video Yet, when I attempt to import, this network location does not show up as a destination.  There's no way for me to add it.  I only see local drives an mapped drive letters. The problem is that if i map a drive (example V:\ to \\HomeServer\Video) then all of the videos open under a new folder name inside lightroom instead of the \\HomeServer\Video folder. How can I get my imports to go right to  V:\ to \\HomeServer\Video without having a folder called V:\  Hitting the little "+" at the top of this dialog doesn't seem to do anything.

Hi, I have an annoying problem. When I hover with the mouse over a picture in develop mode the picture becomes slightly brighter. However, sometimes it gets darker. This also affects the background (grey in my case). Only restarting LrC helps. Aynone knows what the problem is?

Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to buy Lightroom Classic as a monthly subscription. In my account I only see the option of an annual subscription with monthly billing. But that means I can't cancel monthly, right?

I'm using Lightroom Classic 9.2 on macOS Catalina 10.15.3.  I'm trying to import photos and videos from my iPhone XS Max/iOS 13.3.1.  The import process never ends.  What happens is:Start the import process to import ~1000 items from my iPhone attached directly via USB-C Lightning cable.  The destination folder is one which Lightroom has successfully imported photos to my SD card.At the start of the import process, previews for a few photos are displayed initially and then none until I cancel the import.After a few minutes, the progress bar shows no progress.If I cancel the import process, an error is displayed. "The following files were not imported because they could not be read or the destination is not writable (1)"The error shows a number of video files that could not be imported.  In this example, these files are 452,659,828MB.Generally, the import process has imported many more photos/videos than the previews indicate.  The preview images don't seem
