When in Libary, move to a day with has a DJI Mavic 4 still photo .dng (114MB) the application becomes unresponsive showing the spinning colorwheel.  When Importing from the DJI media, it also imported the .jpg file.  The apps needs to be Force Quit.Loading a .dng file takes very long (~15 sec) and then after another ~15 sec it becomes unresponsive.Easiest to see experience with a second monitor, but also happens in Library single photo.The import also contained .mp4 files.  Lightroom Classic version: 15.3 [ 202604090947-8f3672ed ]Apple M4 Max - MacOS Tahoe 26.4.1Screenshot does not show the spinning color wheel but the zoom loop (in the center of the controller display)  

I wanted to follow up on this topic as it's been radio silence on it for nearly 8 months since AI DeNoise was launched.  In the meantime we've not only had multiple updates by Apple to Ventura, we've also had the release of MacOS Sonoma which is rapidly approaching the release of version 14.2.   While I have pretty much left Topaz behind with the release of Adobe's DeNoise and my dissatisfaction with earlier releases of PhotoAI, I just checked it again and with their model updates its now back to being the equal of Adobe's Denoise, but it's a lot faster--it takes less than half the time to process a file on my M2 Ultra with Topaz as it does with Adobe DeNoise.  They are using the Apple Neural Engine, regardless of any bugs--and this is confirmed as I can monitor the power draw of the neural engines in the console as I process images.  DxO is also using the neural engines.  Clearly there are ways to work around the bugs, or these companies have already taken adv

I’m getting the “AI Edits Storage Error” in Lightroom Classic, and I’ve already followed all the steps listed on Adobe’s help page, but the issue is still happening.Here’s what I’ve tried so far: Confirmed there is enough free disk space Restarted Lightroom and my Mac Ensured only one instance of Lightroom is open Gave Lightroom Classic Full Disk Access and Files & Folders permissions in macOS Verified my user account has Read & Write permissions Checked that the catalog and .lrcat-data folder are accessible Not using any cleanup tools or cloud sync on the catalog while Lightroom is open Despite all this, the error continues to appear and AI edits fail to save properly.

It will not let me open lightroom classic. It pops up as repair and the process stops, and wont move. I’m paying for something i can’t use.

Mon processus actuel est de passer via bridge pour la previsualisation et les mots clés, puis d’effectuer un premier jet de traitements via Camera Raw.Je viens de faire des importations dans Lightroom classic et là surprise, je ne retrouve pas les modifications effectuées dans Camera Raw?Pourtant les xml et air sont bien dans le même dossier que les fichiers raw.Comment faire?Merci

in a RAW landscape photo, when I want to emphasize distance I should be able to use the Depth Range mask. I should be able to access it via the Range Masks. where one can find Luminance Mask, color mask and Depth Range. Depth Range is greyed out and not available. Using Shift D yields no response. why can it not be used? Isn't it available to LRc version 15.3.1?

Is it possible to import my PSE26 catalog to Lightroom Classic? It seems looking at the list only up to 2021 might be supported. Lightroom Classic 15.3.1 Photoshop Elements 2026 Organizer PSE26DB catalogIf it isn’t, is it likely to be added or do I need to make a decision about whether I can be bothered to start over with 50000 photos which have been tagged, faces added, albums created, dates and places all checked?

Lorsque j’indique le n°de série pour la mise à jour de LR5 soit <deleted>on me demande un n° de série précédent que je n’ai plus puisque cela fait très longtemps…Pareil pour LR6 soit <deleted>, or sur l’explication de l’installation on me dit que si on me demande le numéro précédent, il faut indiquer 0000-0000-0000-0000-0000-0000 mais rien ne marche, on paye et nous ne sommes pas libres de réinstaller nos ACHATS, merci Adobe….

Lorsque j'importe dans Lightroom Classic un fichier raw et son xmp déjà traité dans un catalogue Lightroom Classic sur un autre Mac, les modifications déjà faites n'apparaissent pas... Comment faire??? Merci

Seit ein paar wenigen Tagen erstellt LrC keine Himmel-Masken mehr. LrC scheint diesen nicht mehr zu erkennen. Vorher lief das problemlos. Die anderen Masken scheinen zu funktionieren (Ausnahme: Landschaft. Auch dort erkennt er keinen Himmel). Habt /hattet ihr das selbe Problem?Konntet ihr das lösen und wenn ja, wie?

This error message appears when I try to open LRC. The version I have is 15.3.1. I have exited LRC on my other laptop. I’ve also tried to uninstall LRC but it isn’t doing so. Any suggestions, please?

When trying to open a recently created catalog in LR Classic 15.3.1 it crashes. This happens when opening one specific catalog under Tahoe 26.5.1. Other catalogs open just fine with no issues. This happens if I launch LR first then go to ‘Open Recent’ or if I double click on the catalog and try to open it through the finder. It is as if the catalog has been corrupted.  

I have backed up my Lightroom Classic catalog about once a week since early 2020 using the popup when exiting Lightroom Classic. Ever since January 2023, I have been unable to backup my catalog as usual. Every time I have gone to backup the catalog since then, I receive the error message "(Lightroom was unable to back up the catalog named "Lightroom Catalog-v12") please check your folder permissions, and make sure that you have available space on your backup drive and main catalog's drive". STATS:Windows 10 Home Version 22H2Lightroom Classic Version 12.3Main catalog is located on C: drive with 235GB of free spaceBackup folder is located on B: drive with 985GB of free spaceLast successful backup was on January 14, 2023, named Lightroom Catalog-v12.zip, and is 1.8GB in sizeThe backup fails at roughly 70% completion and the last visible stage is "Compressing catalog backup" before receiving the popup error message After version 12.3 was released today, I updated and tried yet ag

I haven’t been using LrC recently (the last 6 months or so) during which I’ve seen several updates.  Today I needed to process several hundred CR2 images (5760x3840) and find that performance has gone through the basement.  Switching between images now takes anywhere between 2 and 15 seconds with no rhyme or reason for the long delays.  Even skipping back one image, which is usually instantaneous, sometimes takes 5-6 seconds.  Here’s my hardware:Ryzen 9 7940HS (8 core 16 thread) with Radeon 780M 64GB memory LR catalog, previews, and raw cache are on a local SSDI have tried all settings of GPU acceleration (off, on, auto, custom) with no discernible effect.  I tried increasing the raw cache size to 50gb, but LR doesn’t seem to be using it.  After scrolling through about 200 raw images, total cache usage is only 28MB, far below the actual size of the raw files (11GB)I’ve also optimized the catalog, purged the raw cache and regenerated standard previews.  That last step helped somewhat bu

Verwende LR classic 15.1. Meine Bilddateien befinden sich im Netzwerk auf dem Synology NAS DS418 im Verzeichnis Bilder. Unter \\DS418\Bilder kann ich auch darauf zugreifen. Wenn ich neue Dateien importieren will, so finde ich dieses Verzeichnis in der rechten Spalte des Importieren-Fensters jedoch nicht. Und das obwohl andere Verzeichnisse auf dem NAS angezeigt werden.Ich bitte um Abhilfe.Mit freundlichen Grüßen,Joachim Müller-Klink 

Introducing Assisted Culling (Early Access) in Lightroom Classic. For providing feedback for Lightroom Desktop, click here.  TL;DR – Assisted Culling is getting faster, more powerful, and more accurate as we head to GA. If you tried in October 2025, we urge you to try the new version and give us feedback – especially for wedding & portrait photographers. We’re eager to hear your feedback!  Assisted Culling has received several updates since Early Access launched in October 2025. If you tried it then, here's what's new:  April 2026  Significantly improved handling of shallow depth-of-field for photos – a major customer ask. Images with intentional background blur are now more reliably recognized and kept rather than rejected as out-of-focus.  We’ve retrained the “Reject model” so it has more accurate identification of reject-worthy images. Additionally, an image can now be flagged under multiple reject reasons simultaneously:  Exposure Issues: includes a sensitivity slider so you

I have a Windows pc with LRC installed. What should my settings be in the export dialog in order to export 24MP photos at full resolution. At present, images exported are no longer shown at full resolution or size, after switching to a new pc? Also, images exported with JpegXL selected do not export correctly. The Microsoft Store has tried to sell me a download for the problem - does Adobe have a fix?

I've been experimenting with different cinematic editing styles recently and noticed trends seem to change every year.Some photographers prefer moody film-inspired looks, while others like cleaner cinematic color grading with natural skin tones.I've been testing several preset collections, including my own Cinemora presets, and I'm curious what styles Lightroom users are currently gravitating toward.Which cinematic editing style do you think is most popular in 2026?

Hi,I just moved LrC (v15.3.1) to a new PC (win 11). Moved images (NEF files) from card into a folder. In LrC clicked on Import, selected the folder. LrC shows message “No files found”.I can’t figure why. Am I missing something? Something happened to the LrC during the install?Thank you very much.AK

Something I found recently that may help https://colorsuite.app

For around (I think a month or so) I’ve had issues with masks and some of the pre-sets in Develop module.For example if I go to ‘Enhance portrait’ on many photos where there is a clear person it will fail and pop up a window with title - Preset: Enhanced Portrait Error.An unexpected error occurred while processing. (1){filename here} That’s all it says.Or other times I’ll ask it to pick a subject or I’ll try to create an object and after selecting object or subject then nothing. Nothing is selected. I’ve also seen it where I’ve applied a setting across many files, then it will ask to re-apply the AI settings (this is in masking again) even though nothing has changed. Lightroom Classic version: 15.3.1 [ 202605261338-e36f8566 ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: enOperating system: Windows 11 - Home Premium EditionVersion: 11.0.26200Application architecture: x64System architecture: x64Logical processor count: 32Processor speed: 4.4GHzSqLite Version: 3.36.0Adobe GSDK Version: 1.4.0.2

Lightroom Classic 15.1 — exporting from Smart Previews despite originals being linked. No ! badge on thumbnails, Show in Finder finds the CR3 files correctly, folders appear linked, but all exports come out at ~2000px (Smart Preview size) instead of 6000px. Catalog has ~10,000 missing photos from previous folder moves. Tried: Update Folder Location, Discard Smart Previews, Optimize Catalog. Nothing works."
