Questions

I am a photographer who uses mostly Photoshop and Lightroom classic. I shoot both Sony A7R5 raw and also have the smaller APS-C Sony 6000 shooting raw for street, travel and hiking. I have been using them on both with an Intel MBP and a Intel WIndows 10 machine. My computers are getting long in the tooth so I'm looking to upgrade to either a: MBA M3 15", 8-CPU, 10GPU, 24GB Mem with a 1TB SSDorMBP M4 Pro 16",  14-CPU, 20GPU, 48GB Mem with a 1TB SSDorMBP M4 Max 16",  16-CPU, 40GPU, 64GB Mem with a 1TB SSD I love the size weight and price of the MBA M3. To me 15" is just right. The 14" MBP is too small and the 16" a little to big. Cost is roughly 2k, 3k or 4k respectively. I can afford the extra cash if it would really offer me a lot more performance for my workflow. I do a lot of panorama merging and some HDP Panorama merging. That is my current bottleneck on my older machines. Takes a long time to build previews between Spherical, Cylindrical and Persp

The new version of Lightroom Classic is slow and badly broken. I recommend NOT upgrading to it yet. This is running on macOS 11.0.1. It shows wrong data (e.g. a 1 star on an image in the develop module where there is none in the loope. It refuses to edit some things with the spot removal tool. It looses brush strokes using the adjustment brush. It sometimes shows a different edited state of an image between the loope and the develop module. Basically, I can't trust it for serious work at this time. Even panning or zooming is slower than it used to be. I even changed the preferences from Auto use of the GPU to always using it. It tells me full graphics acceleration is enabled. These are just some flaws that come to mind. I am not trying to do formal testing. This release is, at best, Beta quality.

Hello,I updated my LRC to 14.1 and now when i hit on export it takes around 5 minutes for the export dialog to show, i have a deadline for this assignment, is there an urgent fix pleaseThanks,

Why is Lightroom creating a jpg with my dng on import?I noticed today that I have a jpg with my dng in it's folder. If that comes from a preview of some sort, that is fine. However, I have jpgs dating back to 10-22-24 still there. And I definitely don't need those previews anymore. Am I missing something?

Quando vado a esportare le foto dal catalogo lightroom mi appare questa frase "Non vi è nessuna foto sottoposta a rendering su disco" e non mi fa esportare nulla, nessuna foto di nessun catalogo, anche cambiando l'estensione (tiff, jpeg ecc). Sapete come mai? Lavoro con Windows 10

LrC 14.1 Camera Raw 17.1Raw File from Sony. Import converted to DNG. I did several adjustments to the picture.Have 3 Masks And in the Development screen I see such yellow blocks in that picture. They are not visible in the Catalog View. But if I export the picture, I get them at another place. What is they? How to get them away!

Hallo, ich habe einen Mac mit Sequoia 15.2, Lightroom Classic 14.1 und Camera RAW 17.1.  Ich musste gerade feststellen, dass die KI Funktion "Entrauschen" nicht funktioniert. Sie lässt sich anklicken, ist also nicht ausgegraut, hat aber keine Funktion (es passiert nichts).  Manuelle Einstellungen (Luminanz, Details, Kontraste....) lassen sich durchführen. Weiß jemand wo hier der Fehler liegt? Besten Dank. Gruß Harald

Hallo zusammen, ich habe sein einige Tagen das Problem, dass die KI-Entfernung bei den entsprechenden Bildern (z.B. nach Wechsel in die Bibliothek) immer wieder aktualisiert werden müssen. Das nervt sehr und hält total auf, ausserdem verballer ich enorm Credits für jedes Aktualisieren.Hat jemand das auch bzw. eine Lösung, der Support hat bisher keine Lösung?

the short of it:  Is there a way to save snapshots (develop settings for a particular photo) to a selection of images instead of just one?  the long of it:  Snapshots is a great feature that lets me save a “snapshot” of my develop settings at that time for a photo. I use it compare edits I make to an image, for b/w versions, varied crops, and many other uses.  In particular it’s saved me more than once when the develop settings for a photo will reset without explanation. I don’t know what causes it and Undo feature skips undoing the reset develop settings so it strikes me as a bug. (May be my PaletteGear editing knobs that might be the cause.) Thankfully it’s rare but it does happen, probably a dozen times this year, and can be a big problem to have those settings cleared for some images, leaving me with only the flattened exported JPEGs that I'll never be able to preceisly match in LR again.  This is the first main reason I’d love the

Hello,   I have had this issue since a while now - I'm trying to zoom into an image to edit details, sometimes, it works flawlessly, sometimes I can press Ctrl-Space till I'm blue in the face, nothing happes, the too doesn't switch, LR (not the system) appears frozen for a couple of seconds. All I can do is wait until it zooms into some arbitrary location.   Is this because full size previews have not been creted? I always used to have that on, I just looked into the catalogue settings & prefereces and couldn't find anything on fiull size previews except on how long to keep them.Edit: I just tried zooming out of the next image I clicked on (was automatically zoomed to 100% after being at 100% on the last image) and it took 5-6 seconds to react.  Zooming back in took close to 3 seconds. Latest version of LR (14.1), Win 10, Quadro M5000 on Auto, 128 GB RAM, all M2 key SSDs   [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]

I have dealt with Adobe's Customer Care Support for a long time.  When an issue is difficult, the agents are ot always able to help.  When I request an expert I get resistance.  One issue took about a year to fully resolve. Now a new issue and I am not getting appropriate help.  None of the agents so far have been able to figure out a solution.  One that I worked with thought he had solved the problem, but later it occurred again.  He called me again about this, decided the Catalog had been corrupted.  He did what he called "collecting" my catalog, which I assume meant he brought a copy over to the Adobe computers.  Told me I would get an email about it and he would call the next day with instructions for what to do.  This occurred on Thursday, the call was supposed to call Friday.  I have not heard from him yet. I have sent multiple emails to Adobe Customer Care requesting help.  Finally got an email this morning with a

I start I'm getting the exclamation symbol on 12 photo. I can't find them anyware I look in the coresponding folder I look in the rest of the forlder from this year  and even the previous year and and even in the trash and I came out empty handed. but the rest of the photos the I took that night are ther.

The anyone had or have this issue before. cos I can think any more I can't find any solution. need a little help. 

I am very new to Lightroom, Lightroom Classic Release 9.1.  I’ve managed to create a Lightroom catalog.  I moved about 5000 pictures into it initially and have added another 1000 in batches of 25 -100 over the last couple of months.  I’m concerned that I doing something wrong as I have a number of similar named files when I look in the Finder on my Mac.  I’d like to better understand the file structure and correct what I’m doing before I compound the problem over and over.  Can someone advise me on this? When I look at my Lightroom folder, which is in the Picture folder of my Mac hard drive, I find a file called Lightroom Catalog and Folders which appears to contain all my photos, I also have a number of Lightroom Catalog folders labeled:Lightroom Catalog.lrcatLightroom Catalog-2.lrcatLightroom Catalog-2-2.lrcatI think this is where my metadata and changes are stored for each picture.  I don’t understand why I have three of these folders.  Am I d

Is it possible with the latest version of Lightroom Classic, v14.1, to sync full resolution images that can be shared with Lightroom (not Classic), instead of Smart Previews, and, if not, why? Why does LR Classic only sync Smart Previews?

How to use generative AI in Photoshop to feel in the white gaps? Step-by-step instruction, please. I work in Lightroom and am badly familiar with Photoshop. I have noticed that white ares are not part of the image after I open image for editing in photoshop from lightroom, so i cannot edit them neither can select them. I can, for example, use crop tool in Photoshop to expand image and use generative AI but these gaps left from Lightroom still not filled in. How to fill them?1. I edit RAW photo ln lightroom.2. I use transform without cropping - it makes photo with white gaps3. I hit "edit in Photoshop" - it opens image in PS and white gaps became chessboard4. What next?Thanx a lot

Using current versions, I can't edit NEF images from Lightroom Classic into Photoshop. I have reinstalled both programs and Camera Raw. I'm able to open TIFFs and HEICs with no problem; also,  I can't export NEFs.   [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]

I'm running LRC 14.1 with ACR 17.1 on a Mac M1 Ultra and Apple XDR Pro Display A question for the community: When the checkbox "Enable HDR editing by default for HDR photos" is checked in LRC settings (see first image) does this mean that the HDR button in Develop should be automatically pressed for HDR photos (see second image)?  Because this is NOT happening for me... even though I have that option checked, I still have to manually hit that HDR button in Develop for photos with HDR content. And if that's the case... what's the point of that checkbox? Thanks.

I'm using LrC v 13-3. Unfortunately, I didn't set the time and date on my cameras before I did an event. Now, after importing my images, they are not in order, and sorting them by date and time won't matter. Is there a fix to arrange images in a custom order without having to export them individually?

Windows 11, Lightroom Classic V 13.5I have just installed a new 2TB M2 SSD on my MSI motherboard to host my working files (At the same time there was an update to LR 13.4). I have 4 other SSD’s used for back-ups etc. At the same time Creative cloud updated Lightroom Classic to v13.4. All programs are on the (separate) C: drive. Working files are all in a single OneDrive folder on the 😧 drive with a full back-up on E:. On installation of the SSD I had to re-allocate the drive letters to make sure the new drive was the 😧 drive. (Lightroom 3)I needed to import some images and discovered that Lightroom does not recognise the new drive in the import dialogue. The main catalogue sees it on the files structure and library (lightroom 1) and I can access all the folders and sub-folders, but when I come to import and click on the drive letter no folders or sub folders appear (lightroom 2). They appear normally on all the other drives. The folders all appear in the back-up E: driv

All my images are on an external drive which is where want to keep them.I have no images on the Mac and have never imported anything.

To date, there have been over a dozen reports of the following: When the user hovers the mouse over a preset in the Presets panel, the preset is correctly previewed in both the Navigator and Loupe (main) views. But when the user clicks on the preset to apply it, it doesn't get applied to the photo, and moving the mouse away restores the photo's previous appearance. For most of these reports, resetting preferences fixes the problem.     These previous reports will be merged here to make it easier for users with this problem to find the authoritative thread.
