Questions

I've added an outside editor DxO PhotoLab to aid in processing the raw file that is already imported into Lightroom Classic. Once edited it saves a DNG file right next to the original CR3 file in the folder that is linked to Lightroom. I realize that what we see on screen are sidecar jpeg files and that is all I know. But the edits are somehow kept by Lightroom and saved and the results are viewable, I always only modify a 'copy' of the file being chosen to work on. Back to the original question, after fiddling with the file in the outside editor I want to be able to see it and even work on it again at least for cropping and some editing which Lightroom does so well, but I can't see the file or call it up from withing Lightroom. I understand or hear that I need to 'Sync' that file to bring it into Lightroom and that is where I am drawing a blank. What is the right way to make this edited DNG file visible in Lightroom? I hope it is even possible.... TIA, Ken

Using Canon R6 Mk2 camera, I have been importing my photos using a USB C cable. (to my Mac). The camera would show in the import window. (This is not tethered shooting) This has recently stopped working . SD card in card reader slot works as expected. The native "Photos" app on my Mac sees the Camera via USB C, with no issue.While isolating the issue; restarted the Mac, used other USB C cables, tested other SD cards, but issue persists.Tried reseting import settings, issue persistsI setup a test user account on my Mac and connected my camera with a USB C cable and LRC did show it in the import function!Feeling very much like a setting in LRCMac running Mac OS 15.1.1 and LRC is 14.0.1I can only assume that it's some setting in LRCAny thoughts?

Hi all,I just bought the bundle "Photo-Abo" (german site) and I am trying to install Lightroom classic. After succesful installation of the CC-Desktop the installation of Lightroom classic crushes below 10%.  I repeated several times trying out some possibilities. This is what I did until now.- tried to install LrC as normal windows user as administrator- tried to install LrC logged in as administrator- both trials having the antivirus software (Avast) switched on (while watching if any app is blocked - it isn't), but also swithed off.- internet connection is stable - 100 MB/s- using Win 11- I have restarted my PC for several times- I resetted winsock- I signed out and in for several times- for information: Lighroom classic v 6 is installed on this PC (the version I worked until now) Please help!Thanks in advance, Hans! 

LRC 12.0  for Mac Previews in both library and develop modules show as incredibly grainy with ANY amount of grain applied to files. Grain only returns to normal after zooming in 1:1 and grain returns again when making any adjustment, switching modules or viewing other photos. Before and after 1:1 examples attached.  My files are quite large (Fuji GFX100s) and generating 1:1 every time I revisit an image winds up being incredibly time consuming. The only work around I've found is editing without grain and adding as the final step, but then I need to remove it if I want to revisit an edit, which is often. It's proving to be quite frustrating and IMO completely unacceptable. This software has come way too far to be hindered by something as basic as grain. Please fix this soon. It's ruining the experience.

Hallo Community ich habe in den Voreinstellungen in LrC die externe Bearbeitng von Photoshop mit Dateiformat TIFF eingestellt. Die Datei wird aber immer im RAW Format in Photoshop geöffnet. Ich habe noch Topaz als weiteren Editor eingestellt da funktioniert das und das Fenster für die Abfrage wie ich die Datei übergeben will kommt. Leider kommt dieser Dialog nicht für Photoshop.Beste Grüße 

Bonjour. Depuis quelques jours je n'arrive pas à ouvrir Lightroom Classic. Je paie mon abonnement, toutes les mises à jour sont faites. Mais quand je clique pour ouvrir, rien ne se passe, aucun message ne s'affiche. Merci pour votre aide !

With the rollout of "Advanced Color Management" in Windows 11 which changes how existing ICC profiles are handled, is LrC or any other creative cloud app ACM aware or not?MS details: ICC profile behavior with Advanced Color - Win32 apps | Microsoft LearnAdvancing the State of Color Management in Windows - DirectX Developer Blog Basically IF the apps are ACM aware then you need to nothing and they still work and display accurarely.  If they are NOT aware, they're clamped to sRGB despite the display Gamut unless you use the compatibility troubleshooter on a per-app basis.So question, are any Adobe Apps ACM aware at this point OR if ACM is enabled, do we need to use the legacy ICC troubleshooter option to keep access to full display gamut?

Hallo Community, seit ich auf meinem neuen Rechner (etwa im Dezember) Lightroom Classic installiert habe, stürzt LRc ständig ab.OS: Windwos 11Rechner: Yoga Slim 7 Pro X 14 Grafikkarte: Nvidia GForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU (31.0.15.522) 4 GBWenn die Hardwarebeschleunigung aktiviert ist, dauert es keine drei Minuten, und LRc verabschiedet sich: Sanduhr, Bildschirm friert ein, dann Fehlermeldung, dass LR geschlossen werden muss. Wenn ich die Hardwarebeschleunigung deaktiviere, kann ich etwas länger arbeiten, oft 15 Minuten, dann stürzt LR allerdings auch ab. Ist dieses Problem bekannt? Wie kann ich dem Abhilfe schaffen? Liebe Grüsse Günter 

Bonjour Quand je désire importer un profil icc d'imprimante dans Lightroom (Mac), celui ci apparait bien mais en grisé et impossible de le selectionner Merci pour votre aide Thierry

Running latest LRC version 14.0.1 on latest Windows 10 Pro build 19045.5131 1. Have the area available for listing Metadata filter options set to a few lines high (e.g. 5).2. Have photos in a folder or collection using more dates than will fit in the available lines.3. On the Library Filter bar at the top select Metadata.4. In the Date column, use the vertical scroll bar to scroll to the bottom. I expect the Date column to show all the dates used by photos in the folder/collection. The last date used by the photos is not shown.  If I drag the split pane divider to make the area for the list long enough to show all the dates at once without scrolling, then the hidden date becomes visible, so it is in the list calculated.  However, unless you make the area for displaying the list large enough to have space at the end, the last line is effectively hidden under the horizontal scroll bar and can not be selected for the filter.

From one day to another I cannot import dng pHoto's from my Iphone to lightroom classic.I don't see the preview,just a grey window.When I start "import" lightroom "hangs" there and don't do anything. 

Somewhere along the line, Lightroom imposed a new limitation on keywords preventing the use of either commas or spaces in keywords, because they now say commas or spaces are used as a keyword separators.  (What was the separator character when these characters WERE allowed?) For years now, I have created hundreds of keywords using both commas and spaces to tag people by last name, first name and towns by city, state.  Do I now have to manually change all of those keywords to eliminate commas or spaces? I would like Adobe to add more keyword separator options.  For example, "." and "/" can be treated as keyword separators when reading metadata.  Why are these characters not allowed as separators for keyword entry?

In LR Classic 9.1, the Map module has the wrong hemisphere (E versus W) for the GPS location. So instead of showing the location as northern California, it shows it in China. I exported iPhone photos from the Photos app on a Mac (export unmodified original; checked Export IPTC as XMP). When I look at the file itself in Preview, it shows the following (correct) coordinates (northern California): Latitude: 40° 26’ 32.508” NLongitude: 123° 59’ 20.04” W  I imported the photo into Lightroom, and it shows the following GPS coordinates (China). 40°26'32.508" 123°59'20.039" If I manually add N and W to the GPS coordinates, then it shows the correct location. I don't know what to do to correct this before I start editing/modifying thousands of photos!  

Help me. You need to download lightrum version 12.5.1, but it was removed from previous versions. This is the most successful version for my PC. It works perfectly and does not crash, unlike versions 13 and above that were left. Where can I find a way to download Lightroom 12.5.1 and older versions?   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator. This is obviously not a bug report but a question.]

Lightroom Classic 14.0.1 stops responding on launch on macOS. Rebooting macOS, force quitting LrC has not helped.CommentsI’ve been using LrC for last year successfully. Issue first occurred around 10/10/24 when I was on vacation. Unable to get LrC to boot, I have been using Lr (cloud) since then but need to get back to LrC now.   Repro Steps Open Lightroom Classic from system tray using latest macOS. Splash screen shows for about 45 seconds, then goes away but no window is ever displayed. Right mouse clicking on LrC in system tray shows “application not responding”.4. I can force quit LrC I see the macOS crash reportTop part of macOS crash report (attached) which was submitted to Adobe:       Date/Time: 2024-11-24 17:06:19.145 -0800 End time: 2024-11-24 17:14:27.835 -0800 OS Version: macOS 15.1.1 (Build 24B91) Architecture: arm64e Report Version: 53 Incident Identifier: F364E692-CE6A-43CF-8AB6-5FF1A182FA73 Data Source: Stackshots S

In the past couple of months, I have had issues with LRC randomly closing when switching from one image to another. LRC is version 14.0.1. The issue has arisen since the last couple of updates. No crash file, and no info on the cause.  It is very annoying and makes it impossible to get any work done. I have done all the suggested stuff on the web. I have reinstalled LRC twice. GPU is off... smart previews are off. I have lots of RAM (64G) and a fast CPU i9 10900K. Gpu is the RTX3080 Ti. All apps on a 2TB SSD, files on a HD in the computer. No issues with PS, only LRC. No other Apps are affected.  The problem doesn't seem as frequent in Library but happens consistently in Develop. 

This is the second time this issue has happened. I create a new catalog, select import, select a folder, then select import... a lot of the images don't import (random) into LR. The load bar at the top left freezes and it can't finish loading them in. After going back and selecting the same folder and picking "new images", they all show up in the library window but after selecting "import", nothing happens.   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

Some photos from my catalog are not exporting from classic. When I hit export, the bar will load to complete but never disappear. and it will stay stuck that way.  photos from the same photoshoot will export just fine. I'd say out of 50 photos, 10 will have this exporting issue.    The only way I have been able to export these certain photos is to right click the photo, hit show in explorer, open that photo in lightroom where it will take away any editing i've done, and then export from lightroom into a folder, and import that photo again into classic where it'll have the same file number but with a -2.cr3 at the end, then i'll sync the unedited photo with the edited that won't export and then the new imported one will export just fine. It's exhuasting lol   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

Hi everyone,I’m using the Sony a9 III and often shoot at 120 fps with pre-capture enabled. On the camera, the "Display as Group" feature is fantastic for organizing my bursts, but when I import my photos into Lightroom, all the burst images are separated.I've tried using Lightroom's "Auto-Stack by Capture Time," but it's tricky to dial in the correct time interval since I sometimes shoot multiple bursts just fractions of a second apart.I’m looking for a way to have this process automated, as it was done in-camera. I have over 2200 photos to organize, and manually grouping each burst (which can have dozens or hundreds of frames) would take an enormous amount of time.Does anyone have a workflow for keeping these bursts grouped automatically, either through Lightroom settings, third-party software, or metadata tricks?Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hi, I recently purchased the Adobe creative cloud package because I need to convert RAW files into jpegs after doing the editing in RAW; however, Adobe has completely redesigned the software. I am using the lightroom classic and i am only available to convert to DNG which removes all the picture's resolution and I end up with pictures that are useless. When I try to burn the files into jpegs, I get a message saying "lightroom cannot burn data because it cannot locate a drive that supports burning." Does anyone else have this issue? I have a brand new Microsoft Surface 2 so I don't get it, but i am beyond frustrated with this new adobe program. I used use adobe lightroom 5 and I never had any issues. Converting raw files to jpeg was easy and it would give you options for what size of file you wanted. I think I will cancel my membership because it is just useless if I can't convert to jpegs.Thank you if you have any advise Abel 's

As of yesterday, when I export a tif file to my desktop, it is now creating a folder titled "2024" and exporting the tiff file(s) to it while also exporting the jpeg (w/watermark) to my desktop directly. Prior to yesterday, I was able to just export the jpeg to my desktop.   How do I remedy this situation?   Thank you in advance for your feedback.   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]
