Questions

I would like to know how I can edit an image, save the edited image, and re-edit it at another time. Now, if I edit an image and then delete it from the library (not the disk) then re-import it , all the edits are gone. 

I've been using Lightroom Classic exclusively for years. In the past month, it stopped loading completely. When I try to open I get a brief pinwheel and and then "non-responsive application" force quit error message. I'm using a 2023 Macbook Pro with 32gb of RAM. The Lightroom Classic version is 14.01.  There were no updates/changes to my system that would have triggered an issue. After the problem started I updated the operating system to Sequoia thinking that might be causing the problem but no luck. I Lightroom Classic completely and re-installed, still no luck.  Lightroom CC and Photoshop work fine. Any help would be appreciated.

Bonjour à tous.  Depuis quelques temps j'ai ce message d'erreur qui s'affiche sur certains de mes exportsIl apparait de temps en temps et ce quelque soit le type d'export (Jpeg, TIFF, 1980px ou full...)Je tente de changer quelques réglages de nom, taille, format... impossible d'exporter. J'ai essayé de créer une copie virtuelle puis de l'exporter, idem. Cela m'arrive aussi bien lorsque j'exporte en lot qu'à l'unité.  Quelqu'un a-t-il déjà eu ce problème ? Merci d'avance pour vos réponses. 

Hi,Is there a way to hide the little eraser icon so I can see the genereated result? The icon is just right on the spot where the fixing was needed. I'd like to see the result and select the one I like the best, not just guessing.     

I ordered a new MacBook Pro M4 Pro with 512gb disk. I don't believe I need my system drive to be so big, plus the upgrade cost is just SO EXPENSIVE! Right now my Lightroom catalog + photos are stored on an external SSD. I figured I would keep the photos externally due to necessity, as its 3TB+. But thought I would move the catalog to the laptop for performance (and because I would no longer need to actively move between a laptop+desktop... this laptop is the everything-device). But then I was a bit shocked when I checked my catalog size. It's definitely taken up MOSTLY by the Previews+Smart Previews lrdata (407 GB) https://imgur.com/a/7ClHfnz  I think my LR settings are to not discard previews, so go figure it would grow to such a size... but also that's part of the performance; having the previews there for you? I believe I can change it to discard after i.e. 30 days but I don't think I can limit it by size? Should I stick to just keeping it on an externa

Why I can not install Lightroom Classic on my m4 MacMini? It says it is not compatible. Why is that? 

When I try to upgrade my LR Classic Catalogue from v. 13-3—as required in order to keep using this application—I get a spinning disk and have to force quit. I have done this a number of times. I have tried restarting my computer which didn't change the outcome. I'm on a Mac OS Sonoma 14.6.1. I've been using LR for many years, have upgraded many times, and this has never happened before. I have another catalogue which is working just fine. Any suggestions for fixing this problem? Thanks!

I just updated to Lightroom Classic 14.0.1.  All develop history on edited photos is missing.  Is there a way to get the history back?

i'm a long time user of lightroom classic. today when i opened the program and went to edit a photo i received a messgae that the developer module is disabled, please purchase a membership (which i already have and have been using for years). it also says i can sign out via the help menu and enter a serial number if i have one (i don't). i tried signing out anyway and nothing happens. any thoughts? thanks!

I am getting this message everytime I try to import files into LRC - anyone tell me why and how to fix it? Only thing new is I updated the latest LRC Update.  

Lightroom Classic Product Manager attn: do you have in your backlog a feature to enable subtracting not only what is available/possible there today, but also any previously user-created masks?

I noticed that once I process a face using the AI Denoise tool in Lightroom Classic the face dissapears from the face detection. Any way to get it back? 14.0.1 Release

After updating LR Classic to v14.0.1 all pictures are green in Develop module. Library module works fine. Disabling GPU acceleration solves the problem, but slows down the work considerably. MacOs Sequoia 15.1 on Mac Pro 2019 (Intel CPU)  with AMD Radeon RX 6800 GPU. Never had this problem before. Could be bug in Metal support? Hope this will be solved in next update...

good morning, I installed my lightroom 6.0 on a new computer. First I logged out of Lightroom on my old computer. Installed Lightroom 6.0 on my new computer and logged in. Despite this, Lightroom 6.0 does not start.What can I do now that Adobe no longer supports this product?   {Moved from Lightroom Cloud to Lightroom Classic Forum by Moderator} 

Seit dem letzten Udate von LR auf vs. 14.01 auf dem M1 (Mac mini, Mac Book Air) beide 16 GB und Mac OS 14.7 dauert das Entrauschen viel mehr als doppelt so lange als in der vorherigen Version. Vorher ca. 45sec. nun 1:45min.  Nicht sehr schön.

Hi,I’m using the latest version of Lightroom Classic on the latest macOS. When I create a mask, it works fine for the first one. However, when I try to create another mask or adjustment using the "+" button, nothing appears on the screen.I’ve seen suggestions about deleting the Preferences, but that’s not a viable option for me. I have extensive data embedded in my setup, and the process of rebuilding everything would take days.Adobe, are you aware of this issue? Is a fix being worked on? Does anyone have a reliable workaround? This is causing significant disruption to my workflow, and I’d appreciate any advice or solutions.Thank you, 

Hey guys, im not new to lightroom but im new to the forum, let me know if you need more information so as to help me.  I have the latest version of Lightroom classic. (v9.1) the problem im haveing is that when connect my SD card my laptop recognises it and I can access all my photos, its not locked. when I open lightroom to import the images it used to open the import part, now it doesnt, I have to open it manually. once open it recognises that there is an SD card plugged in but shows that its empty. as in no photos detected.  for now my work around is that im having to manually take the photos off the SD card and put it into a folder so I can import it (it accepts images off my laptop but not my card). Ive tried fresh installing Lightroom and formatting the SD card, nothing helped.  anyone experienced this? any help would be appreciated thanks in advance.

Hallo, Lightroom kann meine NEF RAW Dateien der Nikon z6 iii nicht lesen...kommt dazu bald ein Update ?Der aktuelle DNG Converter ist nicht kompatibel mit meiner Software Version, aber kann nicht höher als Montgomery  12.7.6. damit...  

On upgrading from LrC 13.x (unsure) directly to 14.0.1 on first run LrC was trying to connect to a loads of domains nothing to do with Adobe and which corresponded to messages I've saved in Apple Mail (sender domains).   I run Little Snitch on my Mac which notifies me asking for permission when any application requests internet access for which premission has not been previously granted. First run of LrC 14.0.1 after updating catalogue and it was requesting access to loads and loads of domains corresponding to the sender domain of messages I've saved in Apple mail.   Definately not bookmarks in Safari (as some fgo back ages and are from registration of accounts. Attached to post a few screenshots of the permission requests.   Lightroom Queen mentioned about connecting LrC with Apple mail but I wasn't even aware LrC could connect to any mail client.   eg, a sample of the requested domains:  airvpn.org, amazonaws.com, apopo.org, appcenter.ms, apple.com, asolo.com

Yesterday (30 July 2018) I updated Lightroom Classic CC to the latest version (LR 7.3.1 ??) . I discovered that one of the new features has been changes to camera profiles. I opened the profile drop down menu and found that I had Artistic, B&W, Modern and Vintage. I was missing the Adobe Raw profiles and the profiles matched to my Nikon D750 (Vivid, Flat, Neutral, Landscape, Monochrome etc).What has happened and what do I need to do to recover these profiles and install them?ThanksDave

Although I know I am using the right username and password, I cannot successfully upload my book to Blurb from the Lightroom Book Module. It keeps saying that my username or password is incorrect. (I don't have a problem logging in directly to Blurb from their own website, though). I have uploaded several books in the past, so I am not sure why it is an issue this time.Any thoughts?

I highly doubt that I can do this, but it never hurts to ask...I own about a dozen lenses.  Most are Canon, and the lens profile is automatically applied.  No problem.  I do own some lenses such as the Venus Optics Laowa series.  It's easy to find them and apply... but I always have to open the drop down list and scroll past a million (ok, half a million) makes before getting to the bottom of the list for Venus Optics.  Again, easy enough.... unless you are going through a few hundred photos from a session and the non-Canon lenses are scattered here and there throughout the few hundred shots... so a simple "sync settings" isn't as easy as it sounds since it might be two pictures here, skip a few, six pictures there, skip a few... you get the idea.  So for each photo it's the drop down list, and a lot of scrolling.So my question is, is there a way to remove some of these lens selections for lenses I will never own?  That would be at least 90% of the li
