Questions

I have imported photos into lightroom, editted them and because I have moved the imported photos from their original location I can no longer continue editting them since lightroom can't find them. Is there a way for lightroom to find the new location of the photos or to set this up manually? I would like to adjust the editting without starting again from scratch by re-importing.  

I recently installed 14.0.1 and now previews of images are not showing. I am getting this message:"Lightroom encountered and error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit"   I found a thread addressing the issue from 2013 but it is locked so posting here as the recommended actions are not working.    Most of the deeper thread comments point to external drive problems as the issue, but this is not my case.The method for resolving the issue recommends deleting the Preview Cache directory which ends with Previews.LRDATA  but I'm not finding that. The closest thing I could find is a large (14gb) Previews.LRDATA file located in the Previous Catalogues folder, not an entire directory.   I tried copying this Previews.LRDATA file to an external drive, deleting the original and restarting LR but no luck.Any assistance very welcome.MBP  M1, Sonoma 14.5 [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]   &nbs

Hi, I have used Lightroom 5 in many years, and now upgraded to Lightroom Classic on my Mackbook Pro (Sequoia). I have a new MacBook Pro and imported my about 90 000 pictures there. Unfortunaly the tagged keywords are not there with the pictures. This keyword jobb is many hours work during the years. Is there a method to import the keyword so that they are connected to respective picture? I have read a lot about metadata, but 'i can't figure out a way to do it. It's an understatement to say that I would be very very happy if there is some way to do it! BR Göran/Sweden

So I printed all day yesterday, on my Epson 7570 printer, using the LRC Print Module, printing on Exhibition Canvas Matte, with the installed ICC profiles. Today, I go down to continue with my Print project and my ICC profiles have suddenly disaapeared form LRC. And I don't have the option to select the proper profile in LRC profiles list. I can only see my older profiles, for my older printers. But all of the new ones for the 7570 have gone missing.Any thoughts as to what might have happened here? And a solution/suggestion?Thanks.- Sol

Hi all, recently my old Macbook Pro from 2012 died, so I bought a new one. I had Lightroom 5 that is working badly now with Sequoia, so I downloaded Lightroom Classic. Actually everything went very smooth, the old catalog got quickly updated and all the work I did in the past seems to be there. I was running some check on the catalog to be sure everything was really fine, one of them being "Finding all missing photos" from the Library menu: Lightroom found none. I then tried to synchronize the root folder of the catalog and here someting weird happened. The tab "Remove missing photos from catalog" found many picture "missing" (about 4%), but checking them through "Show missing photos" I noticed they are not missing at all. The pictures have no check that they are missing, and if I press cmd R on one of them they appear to be in the right folder within the rooth folder. I saw in the forum that this problem is not entirely new, but I couldn't find a solution. Perhaps it is connected to t

When you update your (older) pictures to a new process version, I noticed, that stacked photos will not be updated automatically. You first have to unstack the pics. 

Bonjour, c'est la premiere fois que je créé un post j'éspére ne pas me tromper d'endroit !J'aimerais pouvoir exporter mes photos avec la même nomenclature que mes dossiers de base, c'est à dire que je choisis le dossier à exporter et qu'il me fait les exports dans des sous dossiers avec chacun leur nom dans laquelle les photos restent classées. Est ce possible ?cela me ferait gagner un temps précieux plutot que de devoir recreer, renommer et classer à nouveau les photos une fois exportées. Par exemple sur ma capture d'écran pouvoir exporter tout le dossier 02.12 en gardant le classement. Je n'ai pas trouvé d'informations à ce sujet sur le net, peut être n'ai je pas le bon vocabulaire ? Merci beaucoup à vous

In LRc, it is possible to change the file name modifier of externally edited photos from 'Edit' to whatever you want. Is there a way to change the modifier for merged photos (Pano / HDR) or Enhanced photos? 

About 3 weeks ago, LRC 14.0.1 simply failed to launch.  Before this it was working fine. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it a couple of times and tried rolling back to previous versions (13.5.1 & 14.0), but no luck. I don't get any error message and can see the app running in task manager, but nothing happens. Any suggestions how to trouble shoot this?  Could it be to do with a windows update?  I'm running W11 Pro 10.0.22631 Build 22631 on an i7 Dell XPS with 16GB RAM Thanks,  Chris

Hello,Only recently I started using lightroom classic and thus I am pretty inexperienced and I am sure this is merely a matter of me not having a clue how this happened or what I do next. However I would really appreciate the help.I was going through my last set of photos making selections while all of a sudden the classic way lightroom has always looked split into two windows - like you can see in the screenshots. The full view of the image was before I force closed lightroom completely fullview and I was not able to minimize it or interract with it. Upon opening lightroom again this is how it looks.Normally the fullscreen view of the image can just be closed with Esc and then you'd return to the normal library view. Right now I have no clue how to get back to seeing my collections or library as a whole.If anyone could help a newbie I would be forever grateful

Anyone else dealing with constant crashing in lightroom cc? As soon as I start editing, light room will just freeze up and close.  Ive noticed it happen alot more when I start doing i am multitasking or moving to fast. This has been happening for about a month.

I'm stunned how much of a delay there is when starting to paint over an area using the Remove tool. The behavior is often random. Sometimes it takes several seconds before it even accepts any mouse/pen input drawing over an area, sometimes it is alost instant. I tried to see if I can see a pattern. Definitely if I move to the next photo and start removing objects, it's slow. Sometimes it gets faster after the first delay, but sometimes the delays happen again on the same photo I've been working on for a while.The remove tool always had performance issues in Lightroom since I can remember. I understand it needs to decode the raw data first to be able to determine the area I'm trying to remove, but also a greater area to find a good source to clone from. But here is the thing, when I start drawing over an area I want to remove/clean up, the software doesn't need to do anything but draw an overlay showing the brush stroke. It doesn't need to process anything. Let me just draw the area out

Hi,   I recently got a Ricoh GRIIIx HDF and imported the photos from the camera using Lightroom Classic running on Windows 10.I shot both RAW+JPG but I do not see any Ricoh GRIIIx profiles in Lightroom when viewing the DNF file in the Develop tab.How can I get the Ricoh GRIIIx profiles?   [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules, and moved to the correct community - Mod.]

Bonjour, lorsque j'essaie d'ouvrir mon lightroom depuis la dernière mise à jour d'il y a 2 jours, je vois que l'ordinateur essaie de l'ouvrir mais il ne se passe rien. Lorsque je regarde dans mon gestionnaire de tâches, il est en arrière-plan. J'ai redémarrer mon ordinateur, remis la version ultérieur et rien ne fonctionne. J'ai vu qu'il y avait un post avec le même problème en mars dernier et j'ai essayer les solutions proposées et rien n'a changé. Je ne sais plus quoi faire!J'utilise Window 11, mes pilots sont tous à jours et vérifiés. Merci de m'aider. 

I have created a synced collection with 37 images, 4 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 4 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 PC, pausing/restarting the syncing, clicking on the 3 dots at the top of the images nothing works.I am able to export the images so the source files are present on the PC.

when i finish editing and removing with generative AI on a photo and go to the next one if i came back to the photo mostly the Generative AI resets and asks me to "update all" for this photo and a punch of other photos

Hi, i am running the Lightroom Classic ver.9.2, my whole hard driver is 3TB, but the Catalog Previews.lrdata is about 2TB, it is too big!i am setting the "delete 1:1 Previews after 30 days", but the previews is not deleted automatically,why?so can i delete the Catalog Previews.lrdata just in the windows File manager？Thanks for any wisdom shared.

I'm hoping someone might provide some tips. If there is a simple fix, I can't find it.In Lightroom Classic under Export->Post-Processing->After Export, there are default actions to Open in...Mine shows an option for Adobe Photoshop (Beta) but I'd like to change or add Adobe Photoshop 2025 installed on my system.The workaround is Open in Other Application and then select Adobe Photoshop 2025. It works but it would be nice to have it as one of the defaults. 

I have been using Lightroom Classic for several years now.  I like to modify my filenames when I import, with the "Custom Name - Sequence" option.  I key my custom name into the dialog field in the Renaming Panel, and things were working fine.  The photos would import in the order I have them using the custom name, and starting with the sequence number in the Renaming Panel (Custom Name - 01, Custom Name - 02, etc).  A year or so ago (late 2022, early 2023 maybe), my photos started importing and assigning a very random sequence.  For example, the 17th photo in my import list would be "Custom Name - 01", the 4th photo would be "Custom Name - 02", the 22nd would be "Custom Name - 03", and on and on.  I've scoured the app looking for a box to check or uncheck, with no solution so far.  Any ideas?

On Adobed's site I follow the Lightroom Purchase link and it then gets to the $9.99/month page, but for the cloud version. How do I buy the desktop version?

For context: I am a professional photographer who uses LrC every day. My catalog is based on originals located on various external hard drives, and the Catalog file resides on an external SSD, which I need to use with multiple computers in my studio. I use Lightroom Classic only on Mac systems. Hello CommunityFor a few days now, my catalog has been showing external drives as folders, rather than actual external volumes. These folders are grouped under the main "Macintosh HD" drive, but I would like them to be shown as separate drives, as they actually are and as it was until few days ago. I must say that I am not experiencing any issues with offline files or lost links, but I would like to go back to the previous view, which was easier to navigate and keep in order. In fact, in the previous view I could see the photo count and available space for the individual drive, and now this data is no longer shown. I have not made any changes to the Catalog recently, I have not renamed

Sempre que imporoto as fotos, ja marco para criar as visualizações 1:1 e as Inteligenbtes também.Porém, após a ultima atualização do programa, esse processo está levando MUITO TEMPO para ser feito, as vezes parece até que nao está funcionando de tanto tempo que leva. Antes ele criava as duas ao mesmo tempo, agora ele faz primeiro a 1:1 e depois a inteligente.
