Questions

Have client with a catalog issue that I cant resolve AI edits with remove tool and masks need to all be updated all the time took these steps 1. Go to Library Grid view. 2. Click All Photographs. 3. Do the menu command Photo > Stacking > Expand All Stacks. 4. Select all the photos. 5. Do the menu command Photo > Develop Settings > Update AI Settings. only updated a few, not all of them questions why do they requires updating and why did the update AI setting miss most of them   Mac OS Sonoma 14.5  Lightroom classic 13.5  

When working with multiple masks in Lightroom, the app consistently freezes when toggling the “before/after” view (using either the “Eye” icon or the “\” keyboard shortcut) while the top mask is a Subject Mask. Steps to reproduce:Create two masks on an image.Make the top mask a Subject Mask.Apply any mask adjustments.Repeatedly toggle the “Eye” icon or press “\” multiple times to view before/after.Lightroom will eventually freeze and become unresponsive. System info:macOS Sequoia (reproduced on multiple devices)Lightroom Classic 14.5.1 Screen recording demonstrating the issue is attached.Note: In the video, I’m clicking pretty fast just to trigger the freeze reliably, but in normal use Lightroom can still hang after just a few before/after checks.

Hi, I've reached a frustration point where I'm ready to look for alternatives to Adobe.One day I create a catalog & a collection and it syncs to my lightroom.adobe.com library beautifully and then another day I create a different catalog and collection and it refuses to sync. I'm using Lightroom Classic 15.0.1 on Windows 11 Home, with plenty of Ram (64GB) and a 4TB drive, my raw cache is set to 60GB.Current sample set is 849 images.I have imported every way possible - w standard previews, w 1:1 previews, w smart previews, etc.I create a collection, I initiate sync.EVERY TIME, I see my photos "sync", but none of the images actually do - I receive this error for every image.  Every single image.  If I go to my ipad to view the sync'd files it gives the same error, the grid with grey blocks is there - with no image actually available for me to edit. The issue started before the updates that were just released to LR Classic.  I've "permanently deleted all

Lightroom Classic has been misbehaving intermittently for a few months now.  I had hoped the latest version would fix things but it hasn't. When scrolling in the Grid,or Filmstrip image display sometimes stalls for several seconds.  When importing, the folder structure of the hard drive where my photos are stored sometimes does not display in Destination, and now I sometimes get a green screen when selecting 100% view in the Library module.  If I quit LR and re-open the problems go away but eventually return.   I have the latest version of LR classic (15.0.1) installed on my internal SSD drive (2Tb with 360GB free space).  I have done all the recommended actions to improve LR performance including uninstall and re-install of LR, deletion of preference files, checked cache size is adequate (it is set at 50Gb and is on my internal SSD), optimised catalog.  Graphics processor is on auto.   I have deleted any unused plug-ins. I have a Mac Studio M1Ma

Hello,   Unfortunately, my Lightroom Classic (offline version) has recently been crashing as soon as I try to import photos. I use Win 10 64 bit. The LogCollectorTool has uploaded the file “AdobeLogs_20251012_065820_950-win-GS.zxp” to Adobe. I have also worked through the instructions, but unfortunately without success: https://community.adobe.com/t5/creative-cloud-desktop-discussions/can-not-get-the-latest-version-of-lightroom-lightroom-classic-and-photoshop/m-p/13794814   The instructions also said to send the two CoreSync Folders to Adobe. But to what mailadress?   Can you help me?     Best regards and many thanks for your help.

Lightroom Classic - Seeking Apple Mac Studio Configuration Advice I’m planning to get a new Apple Mac Studio computer and want to determine model and configuration so it will be good enough for 5+ years    I primarily use it for Adobe Lightroom Classic and Nik Software and most interested in editing speed.  I’m currently a basic user - primarily sharpen, mask, crop, B+W editing (in Lightroom and Nik Silver Efex Pro), generative fill, and likely will do more advanced editing in the future so would like to configure accordingly. I don’t edit videos. I can afford to get upgraded CPU, GPU and unified memory if it makes sense.  If “supersizing” computer costs more, but not really make things noticeably faster, OK with not doing so. Base ModelsM4 Max $2K 36 GB Memory, 512GB SSDM3 Ultra $4K 96 GB Memory, 1TB SSD I really don’t know how CPU, GPU and unified memory affect editing speed. Seeking recommendations for which model to get, a

adobe lightroom classic 15.01 does not start after the update, the process is in the task manager, but the program does not open, while version 14.0X is stable, everything opens immediately.

Hola, tengo un problema bastante serio con lightroom classic, y es que cuando voy a hacer algun tipo de mascara hace como doble clic, y tambien lo hace en varios panales a la vez, no dejandome crear esas mascaras, tampoco puedo utilizar partes del menu porque donde clico no reacciona ni funciona.Tampoco me deja cerrar la app, ya que cualqiuer panel que abra no funciona.Adjunto un video para que lo veais.Tengo actualizados los drivers de la grafica.Mi procesador es un i5 14600kf y la grafica RTX 3060 Ti 

Bonsoir,Depuis que j ai installé la derniere version de lightroom classic,il se bloque a l importation des photos.C'est long a venir et dés que je clique le choix du disque dur il se bloque de nouveau.Pouvez vous m aider a régler ce problème .   

Since upgrading to 15.x I have an issue when importing images, where when trying to highlight a series of images using Shift+Left Click the highlight won't stick, it just flashes and leaves the first selected image highlighted. I have to wait around 30 seconds before the highlight sticks and I can tick the images for importing. I don't know what the app is trying to do at this time, but this didn't occur in 14.x and whilst doesn't seem like a major issue it still has an impact on my work flow.  Steps: Click ImportClick Untick AllSelect first image I want to importSelect last image (holding shift) in the series I want to import Highlight won't stickWait 30 secondsSelect last image (holding shift) in the series I want to import Highlight sticksPress spacebar to tickClick ImportHURRAH! Once it's finished with this silliness, I can open Import and it'll be responsive as normal. If I eject the SD card and re-insert it'll do the same 30 seconds of it doing 'some

This is a new bug. It worked in LrC v14 (and all versions before that for the last 10 years or so). I am running LrC v 15.0.1 on Windows 11. I have checked File -> Library Filters -> Remember Each Source's Filter Separately. (Also "Enable Filters and "Lock filters" are checked).   I am usine various filters for individual folders. What happens is that LrC sometimes remebers the filter, but sometimes the filter is overriden by another one from a previously viewed folder (as if "Remember ... Separately" was unchecked)   Steps to reproduce (on my PC at least):Folder 1: Set some Filter 1Go to Folder 2: Set different Filter 2Go back to Folder 1: The Filter 1 is there as expectedGo back to Folder 2: Now there is unexpectedly Filter 1 as well, instead of Filter 2I am not exactly sure why it sometimes works, but it fails very quickly, so to replicate it is usually enough to just keep switching folders 🙂

Lightroom has worked fine for me for years until last week. Now I cannot import photos. I am working on a Desktop Windows 10. I plug the camera in like usual. I select the photos that I need to import (ensuring they all have the tick). and I click Import. And the bar opens up but no progress happens. I left it all night and nothing came in. I can manually cancel the import, and when I do it says "No photos or videos were found to import." I have tried the following:  - Restarting the computer - copying the images to a hard drive and importing from there (same problem happens this way too).   below is a screen shot of where it gets "stuck."   {Moved from Lightroom Cloud to Lightroom Classic Forum by Moderator} 

I have tried the following and issue persists:1. Restart computer / lightroom2. Restore default lightroom settings / preferences3. Uninstall lightroom CC, Restart PC, Install Lightroom CC, Restart PC4. Update GPU driver5. Disable GPU acceleration6. Create new lightroom catalog I am not sure where the error log file is located since there was a error prompt and it seemed to have uploaded to Adobe directly

Hey Folks,  I'm trying to determine the official line on whether you can store photos on a NAS and import them to your Lightroom CC catalog. You'd think this would be a simple enough question, but no... Some users say you can, while others appear to have constant issues. If you contact Adobe support, they will tell you the answer is NO; you cannot store images on a NAS and import them to your LR Classic catalog.  However, the LR Classic FAQ (here) states, "Can I store or share a catalog on a network? No, you can't store catalogs on a network, but you can store or share your photos on a network." If you point this FAQ out to Adobe support, their response is a frankly ridiculous claim that by "network," they actually mean "cloud." Now, I ask you, what company that runs a gigantic cloud storage service would suddenly decide to refer to it as a "network" instead of a cloud in a support FAQ?  There's no way this FAQ was ever written to mean that.

I am using a plugin called Focus Points that show the focus point of the camera in a image. https://github.com/musselwhizzle/Focus-Points It shows the focus points for my 5D Mark III after converting the CR3 raw file to DNG, However, when inporting and converting my R5 CR3 files to DNG, it appears that the process removes the entire Canon maker notes section, including all focus information. IMHO this is a bug in Adobe DNG converter and it needs to be checked if this applies to the entire R-Series or just specific models. Why is adobe doing this and how do you STOP it??  Here are 2 sample images taken this past weekend. one CR3 and the same file after converting to DNG.https://photos.wfpics.org/Test-Images/Focus-Point-Test/n-NMg4gQ Thank you.. 

Hello,I’m a real estate photographer, and I usually rename my files using my name after uploading them. I have to do this manually every time, and sometimes I make mistakes when I forget.How can I set it as the default? Right now, it uses the capture time by default.Additionally, the biggest issue is that Denoise in the background still hasn’t returned after the latest update, which I’m quite disappointed about.Please update me about both issues if possible. Thanks 

I'm planning on purchasing a new laptop.My only heavy use is Lightroom Classic.  I seldom use Photoshop.  I never game.  The rest is online stuff and MS Outlook.I currently have a Dell Inspiron 14 Plus with 16GB DDR5, 1x 8GB onboard + 1x SoDIMM 8GB, 4800MHz, an Intl i7-12700H (2.30 GHz) processor;  a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card,  and 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive.I am upgrading to take advantage of advancements in components.  I don't want to spend more than $1,200 and ideally less.  Since most laptop makers offer specific choices, what I'm looking for is specific advice on what I should go for in order to improve/speed up LR Classic (perhaps the best graphics card) and areas where I don't need to get the best (I've heard that 16GB of RAM is sufficient for LR.Thanks in advance!

Since updating LRC in the last few days I can not upload images from a USB stick and I also can not save work from Photoshop into LRC -What am I missing? 

So far, I've gotten multiple different answers to this question, so now I'm coming to the experts for advice. Looking specifically at the new(-ish) UGREEN DXP2800 or DH2300 NAS systems, I want to see if I could set up my LrC Catalog and photos to be stored on the NAS with the capability of accessing on both my home PC (Windows 11) and my Macbook Pro (M4 Pro).  Currently, both my Catalog and photo originals are saved to an external SSD that I can swap between the PC and Macbook Pro. I want to store everything on the NAS, which would be located at my house, so that I have the ability to pull up both my Catalog and photos from anywhere. I also want to be able to have my edits saved to the NAS so that if I edit a photo on my Macbook, I can later pull it up on my Windows PC and pick up where I left off. Obviously, I wouldn't try to have LrC open on both machines at the same time. This is simply my idea for a portable workflow without having to plug/unplug an external SSD

I want to use the Folders Panel in Lightroom to move photo files from one location in the windows file system to another.  I know I must use the Folders panel in Lightroom, rather than Windows Explorer or Lightroom catalog will lose track of where the files have gone.  Normally I use 2 instances of Windows Explorer to move files.  One instance is for source, the other for destination.  I cannot use this technique in Lightroom.  And the Folders panel is really too small to expose two locations in the hierarchical file system to make effective use of drag and drop.  There must be a better way to use this but I don't see how. Tom

I am having continuing issues with working along in Develop when suddenly Lightroom will jump into the Map Module. Very annoying as it breaks the chain of what you are doing and you have to check what was the last thing you did that registered against the photo and get back to the right screen within Develop for what you are doing.   Worse still if you are not online, a message to that effect comes up in a big box in the middle of the screen and the only way I have found to clear it is to exit Lightroom and start again. I have to do a lot of editting Off Line as living full time roaming in a motorhome we do not have internet connection in some places. All the AI stuff has to wait till we have connection.

Is there a way to change the default Denoise setting?  50 is way too high - I'm usually between 15 - 20, at the most...  Or, should I just create a preset  and apply it on import?

On my MacBook Pro, LrC 15.0 is great in terms of features but it is impossible to import new pictures into the catalogue.  That makes it kind of useless.  I had to go back to LrC 14.5.1
