TLDR; when mac loses local network access, lightroom keeps trying to build previews until it hits 120gb of application memory and crashes.    If usung remote storage of photos, and the os drops the network mount lightroom classic keeps trying to build previews without warning.    Something leaks and consumes between 120 and 130gb of application memory.    Network drops for Mac not Windows.  Drops every 5 mins or randomly  New Mac m4 pro, was migrating from Windows,  maybe I'll go back to Windows...   [moved from bugs to discussion according to the community rules - Mod.]

Hi guys,I usually work on adjustments on a virtual copy - or several, and when I am satisfied I transfer the adjustments to the original image via "Sync Settings" or "Previous". Neither seem to work and no adjustments are transferred between images.  This is what happens: "Sync Settings" blinks and stops without effecting any changes; same with  "Previous" but a message flashes on the screen for a fracrion of a second - I was able to decipher "Your changes were pasted .... AI ...., etc" but it happens too fast to read intelligibly.  Seems like it's only happening to this one image. Any ideas? Thanks a lot.

Hello,Since the new update Lightroom classic 13.3, the script ExtractPreviews doesn't work. I have put the new ExtractPreviews.lua, but I have always the same message : "Failed to extrac or write the preview for x photos - this may be because no preview was available or an error occured while writing the preview to the destination".Have you a resolution ?Thanks'

Will LR 5.7.1 run on Windows 11?

Hi , I hope someone can help . I went looking for my missing files in Lightroom and it was a zip file on my Mac . Because it wouldn't let me click on the  zip file , I opened it and whatever it asked me I said yes ! I went back to Lightroom and now all my folders are blank and I thought I'd maybe go and import the images again from my file cards and it won't let me import anything either . it's like my whole Lightroom has grinded to a halt . I've restarted my Mac but it didn't help . I'm freaking out - can someone please help me ! Thankyou so much 

I updated Lightroom Classic to 4.0.1. Every 20-30 minutes the up and down keys gets stuck on temperature (cold/warm)? I can't hover over any adjustment (exposure, contrast etc) to change it with the arrows on my keyboard. When I use the arrows on my keyboard it just adjusts the temperature. I have to optimise my catalog each time to fix it   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

Hello Adobe Community,I'm experiencing a frustrating issue with Adobe Lightroom Classic on my new laptop. After about 1.5 minutes of working in the program, Lightroom suddenly freezes completely. If I wait around 1.5 minutes, the program starts working again as normal, but the freezing continues to happen intermittently.Here’s a summary of my setup and the troubleshooting steps I’ve already taken:Laptop: Only a few months old, with specifications that meet and even exceed Lightroom Classic’s requirements.Software and Drivers: All drivers, including the GPU drivers, are fully up to date.Troubleshooting steps tried:Reinstalled Lightroom Classic multiple times.Checked system resources, and everything seems to be performing as expected.Adjusted preferences in Lightroom and cleared the cache.Despite all of this, the freezing issue persists, making it very difficult to work on my projects.Has anyone else experienced this, or does anyone have suggestions on how to resolve this issue? I would

Bonjour,J'ai la version 12.3 de lightroom Classic, mon problème est au sujet du nouvel outil masquage. Les icônes sujet-ciel-arriere plan ne sont pas actives. Lightroom ne détecte pas les personnes sur les photos. Je peux seulement utiliser les outils de base pinceau, dégradé ... mais pas avec les nouvelles fonctionalités. Quelqu'un aurait il une idée pour resoudre le problème ?Merci d'avance

When running Lightroom Classic the iMac says it is running out of application memory.  My 2TB drive has 400GB available and my memory is 40.  It says LRC is using from 50 to 90 GB of application memory and forces a close down.  Am running on a 2017 iMac with 27" screen.  Can only update to Ventura.

Lightroom Classic 14.0.1 on Mac hangs for long periods of time when I move a lot of photos from one directory to another. Sampling the process seems to suggest that the program is frantically refreshing its views and hanging the UI while it’s doing so. These hangs would last for many minutes and seem to get progressively worse, basically halting the data transfer. One workaround I have found is to minimize the app window while the files are being transferred. Once the files are moved, restore the app window.

When I open Lightroom, I now get a pop-up error message that says "Connection failed - Please check your internet connection and try again. [#1000]". The error continues to pop-up every time I export my photos and I am no longer able to use my Pixieset plugin. My internet is working fine so not sure what the issue is. Has anyone experienced this as well? Any solutions?

I'm moving folders from external to internal and have to keep expanding the Folders to drag and drop. They keep collapsing/closing randomly/frequently and selecting Option and the trinagle doesn't lock them expanded like I would prefer they stay.  LR classic 14.0.1 Macbook Pro Sequoia 15.1   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

Each time I try to import photos from my iPhone 14 Pro with iOS 17.0.3 into my Lightroom Classic 12.4 library, the preview of the on-device images will show up as empty rectangles. Strangely enough, if I switch my import source to something else (e.g. a local directory), then back to my iPhone, more previews would show up. If I repeat this dance several more times, eventually most, if not all, of the previews would be visible.   This is clearly a bug. Lightroom Classic is able to read the previews, just not the first time.     [Moved from Bugs to Discussions by moderator. Lightroom Classic 13 has been released, so you can't file bug reports for an earlier version]

I uninstalled/reinstalled LR Classic (v14.0.1), trashing all preferences at the time. I even restart my iMac M3. I'm still unable to build previews for all 5000 images in my catalog. When I instruct LR to build all standard previews I get a progress bar with no progress. Oddly, when I click on a grid square the preview builds. But meanwhile I have a 5000 image catalog with very few previews. Very frustrating. Any help is appreciated.

In Develop Module watching the layout of my just created Book. When I find a photo that needs to be adjusted, hit D to move to the develop module, correct the photo, and then... how do I get back tho the same layout in the Develop module that in was watching? Any shortcut? I find that by now I have to move to Grid (hit G), select my book's collection,press on the arrow icon and I'm back. Any shortest path? Thanks in advance.

Just bought a new ACER-Notebook. Lightroom is working, but the 'theter' does not appear in the windows-menu.Does Windows 11 not support tethering?You can write in german language too .)       

Just updating a handful of images, and go to quit out of Lightroom, and I get ' Writing Metdata Changes into XMP. Please wait until the process is complete".   This is taking forever, updated maybe 5 images, and now I have to wait 10-15 minutes for Metadata changes to complete. This isnt the normal , 'writing changes you can quit/cancel and you will not lose data, this is different, the only option is to 'Stop'.   What will happen if I update a lot of images, or try and apply keywords to a lot of images? M1 Mac, Monterey, 32GB, Catalogue on SSD, Images on NAS (over cable).

RIght now, I can right-click (option click on my Mac) on an image in Lightroom and it gives me menu choices of all that I have installed for Topaz Plug-ins. I would like to add the abilty to use DxO Pure Raw as a choice in this menu "Edit in.... " in the drop down menu. Is this possible to add and work with from within Lightroom or am I barking up the wrong tree? - I have installed DxO Pure Raw, re-started my computer and it is linked to Lightroom, somehow, but does not show up in the "Edit in..." menu. This an area outside of my specialty  so need help.TIA,  Ken

I am lost. I modify an image in Develop. I want to find that image to print it out. Where is this modified image located? So that I may print it out?

Hi, I haven't used LRC since early December due to a bereavement, I open LRC for the first time a few days ago and was prompted to update my catalogue to V13. Well now none of the image previews are loading. All the images in the grid view are greyed out, I have to click on the image on the film strip and then it loads the preview. However it removes all the image edits! As though every image has been reset, all 37,515 of them 😬 But if I go in to the develop module to history all the edits are there. How do I fix this? Adobe support have tried, they've taken control of my screen, attemped to fix my catalogue all sorts. I need help. please what can I do to fix this?I have tried looking an another computer, it's still the same.I am on Mac Sonoma 14.2.1 and LRC is up to date. Image attached to show my LRC.

I have been using LRC on Windows PC. But last week, I decided to purchase the Mac Mini as a second computer. I was wondering if I can use my LR Catalogue from my windows PC to my Mac Mini so I don't have to create a different catalogue or library on my Mac Mini. Also, if I'm travelling and decided to edit photos using the Mac Mini, would I be able to add those to my main library/catalogue on my windows PC. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.
