Questions

Hello, I would like to know what pieces of HW should I look for if I finally want smooth running Lr Classic.I edit thousands of 45 mpx images every week and I would like to build or buy a computer which will be powerful enough to run LR fast and smooth. I've never experienced smooth and fast running Lr Classic during editing/browsing higher megapixel images. So what should I look for, what should I buy if I want to use Windows?1. desktop PC2. laptopCould someone recommend how specs or models of computers which can run LR Classic smooth?Thank you so much.

Hi everyone, I have seen some disscussion about this online, but havent been able to find the solution.  I have a canon R6 mii (with firmware 1.5) and use an HP laptop (windows 11 updated) with lightroom Classic (latest version 14.0). I'll leave the specs under my issue.  After upgrading to a Canon R6mii in august 2024 (already the camera was supported) I am unable to see the photos while tethering on lightroom classic. The Camera is recognized in lightroom, able to see the screen on live view and even use the trigger to take a picture, but files do not pop up in lightroom.  I tried resetting preferences, created a new catalog,changed the destination location, etc etc but the photos still did not pop up, so I ended up going to the folder that I assigned and it seem that it doesn't import the photos to that folder either. I have tether before with my Canon R6 with no problem.  Maybe its a setting that I am not seeing either on Lightroom or my camera?&n

Hallo TeamIch habe das Lenovo thinkpad e15 intel core i7 1165g7 1tb ssd mit Iris® Xe Graphics und 32 gb RAM. Win 11 Pro 64 Bit - Lightroom Classc 14. Eigentlich entspricht es den"empfohlelenen" Anforderungen oder übertrifft diese sogar im Arbeitsspeicher. Woran liegt das, dass die Belegung des Arbeitsspeichers und des Prozessors mit der Zeit immer weiter ansteigt. Dieser sinkt auch nicht wenn ich nicht mehr weiter arbeite sondern füllt sich immer weiter. Ich muss Lightroom beenden um den Arbeitsspeicher frei zu geben. Sonst kann ich nicht weiter arbeiten....Sooo miserabel ist der Rechner doch eigentlich nicht oder?Gruß Eder...ach ja Danke schon mal für jegliche Hilfestellung was ich tun kann. (ausser Neukauf)

Hello! I changed my macbook and I wanted to transfer my presets from the old one to the new one, in lightroom classic.I tried to import presets in the develop module but some of the presets won't show up and when I do it again it shows: already imported."Show partially compatible" is checked but they do not show. I also tried to put them in the folders but again, they do not show. I bought some presets and when I import them to the new pc, it only show half o them.Can someone help me?

I've created an image by taking a crop of a panorama (first image below).  I then applied noise reduction to the image (second image below).  Both images have been synced to the cloud. The images are links to those images. Note how the image with noise reduction has white space at the top and bottom, which I'm guessing might be the result of the merge process and what shows before the warping process is implemented. The image as shown in LrC does not contain any white spaces (see the screen capture below).   Image 1 https://adobe.ly/3VavLc1   Image 2 https://adobe.ly/3Zm1f1g     Oh yeah, now, for some reason, after about 30 seconds, LrC crashes every time I open it.   LrC version 14.0.1 Mac mini M2 Pro, Sequoia 15.1.1   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

I've searched through the forums but not found what I need. Everyone seems to have 'missing' issues or a case of things merging but from what I can tell, my images have just vanished from lr altogether.Recently got a new pc (win 10) and restored my old catalogue from external drive (where it's always been, along with all my images). Hadn't really looked at it until now but I've just booted everything up to edit some images from last year and the folders are gone. Not "missing", actually gone. I name my folders/files by date and you can see in the screen shot that 2015 and 2016 aren't there. Everything still appears to be on the ext drive but nothing is showing up in lr. The images don't seem to be in 'all photographs' or in another folder, they're just gone.2017 just has the one subfolder it should have as I've only shot once so far this year and just imported everything and haven't touched it since. I don't even know if the folders were already gone before then or if I've somehow done

I have the Raw versons of my personal photographs on one portable external 5TB HD, backed up to a RAID and to the cloud. This drive is getting old and I'm thinking of moving it to a newer portable HD. If I move everything from the old HD to the new one, including the LR catalogue, will it function exactly like the old one or will it lose the groups that I have put the images into? Also, in order to be sure that all adjustments move with the images, should I do a command S on all images or is there is way to save adjustments which will take up less HD space?

Moin - kann mein LR nicht mehr updaten. Es handelt sich um einen IMAC mit macos Monterey 12.7.6. Verlangt wird neuerdings das Ventura. Bedeutet dies: Rechner-Neukauf? LG Udo 

I am looking for some help.I currently run a Ryzon 7 5700G with 32GB RAM , Navdia Geforce GTX1650 Super, 650w PSU, 1TB SSD and I find that when using lightroom some of the process are slow. ie: deNoise. Will upgrading the graphics card to RTX 3060 help or do I need more memory?

When using LrC, after hopping between develop mode and grid view a few times, ctrl+shift+s stops opening the sync develop settings dialog for me, and instead opens a "save as" dialog.  LrC doesn't even have a "save as" option? This is what confuses me the most! The only way to make this stop is restart the program. Support tells me this is due to conflicting commands and I should reset preferences and/or uninstall + reinstall. Has anyone else had this issue happen? How did you solve it?

So many versions later, I think Lightroom Classic 14.x has a GDI handle leak still. I also have a machine with 128GB of ram, and amd finding that eventually Windows grounds to a halt with Lightroom classic open, where opening any other window fails, or eventually just stalls out. I opened a ticket with Adobe and it was suggested I upgrade my GPU (which in 2024 is nearly impossible RTX4080 already)I started searching GDI handles leak and it lead me here.    {Moderator note: Edited the thread title}

Recently installed LRC 14.0.1 0n Mac studio running OS 15.0.1 and experiencing frequent crashes. No apparent reason or solution. Is Adobe. aware of this problem? No system issues have been identified.   {Moved from Lightroom Cloud to Lightroom Classic Forum by Moderator}

Lightroom is closing unexpectedly often with no clear trigger (can occur during almost any activity) since update to 14.0.1. Have sent reports, rebooted computer, etc. Hoping there will be a big fix soon. Running on MacOS Sonoma 14.6.1.

I have been a Lightroom user for many years. The sizes of the original uncropped files and virtual copies have always been  essentially the same. I have discovered that recent virtual copies of my JPEG files are much smaller than the originals. For example: Original - 1.7 MB ; Virtual Copy - 196 KB. I have been unable to find settings that need to be changed and have not found similar problems discussed. File Settings in Export: Image Format: JPEG; Quality: 100; Limit File Size: not checked. I have the most recent version of What am I missing here?

I have created a plug-in to modify Radial Gradient in real time ( the advantage is I don't need to use the overlay) I use photo:applyDevelopSettings Alas this creates many history steps. How is it possible to stop too many steps from being created when using photo:applyDevelopSettings ?p.s.I am not using a slider to modify the mask..

Problem with Lightroom Classic Catalog after pictures folders changedMy Pictures are mainly stored in my OneDrive folder.  The Lightroom Catalog was also stored there, (but I was unaware of that).The file structure of the pictures folders was then changed by me using Windows File Manager but not also reflected in Lightroom. I was unaware that changing the folder structure now meant that LR could not locate where its catalog had gone to.Lightroom would then not start, saying the catalog was corrupted. I tried to fix problem by choosing to create a new catalog and merged it with the most recent LR catalog that had been backed up.Lightroom will now open, but the catalog in Library says that it has 35,000 photo files that it cannot locate. Using “Find All Missing Photos” function does not assist.Tried moving picture files in File Manager back where they originally were but, I cannot remember the exact folder structure before my changes were made; and I also get a message that the

Is there a reason to use LR classic instead of LR? Alex

I took a photo in the develop module, and rotated it CCW to get the orientation that I desired.  The problem was during printing, when I applied a watermark, it was flipped and applied to the original lower corner.  I tried to reset by closing the program, and reopening, and printing again, with no change.  I still received the undesired, flipped watermark ( or backward) in the wrong corner?  Has anyone else experienced this issue and if so did you find a solution?

How to add large title below large group of small photos in Lightroom Classic?

Hi!I took delivery the other day of a brand new Macbook Pro with M2 Max chip (38-core GPU) and experience so much flicker for LRC to be unusuable. This only occurs with my external monitor attached. More details:* This was a directly replacement of my M1 Max Macbook Pro (which had fewer GPU cores, less RAM);* Fresh MacOS install (13.2);* Same data/LR catalog (LRC 12.1);* Apple Pro XDR display (latest firmware);* Preferences > Performance > Camera Raw / Use Graphics Processor = Auto. The flicker presents as if a new color profile is being applied on and off, every time I move the mouse in the Development module. It appears as if a new white balance is applied (the white balance doesn't actually change — it just has the same screen effect as if WB is changing). This makes the program unusuable for any editing.  True Tone and Automatic brightness adjustments are both off, as is Night Shift. If I turn this GPU usage to off within LRC, the flickering is gone —

I have certain presets I use in Lightroom, for instance, "Enhance Portrait," which uses AI to select facial features and adjust them. Lately it seems like it's not making good selections, like it's not coloring within the lines like it used to. I'm starting to notice there is more blur on peoples eyes now from the soften skin feature. Is anyone else having these issues or noticing any problems like this? And any idea what I can do about it or how to fix it? Thanks in advance!
