Questions

Usually when selecting an image in develop module, it takes a second until the auto tone button is enabled. With the latest version of Lightroom Classic that no longer happens all the time. In fact, the button gets enabled less often than it does. This is Lr Classic 14.0.1 on Mac OS Sequoia. 

(How) can I create a smart collection containing only the photos that have AI features included? I am having some issues with AI-features non updating (AI remove and AI masks). So gathering the impacted photos in a smart collection would help.Thanks.

The update to Adobe Lightroom 14.0.0 has made it almost impossible for me to work effectively. When making adjustments to edited photos in the Develop module, the image loads first, followed by the sharpness! It’s painful to watch. It feels like image loading now happens in three stages:A preview that isn’t very useful.The sharpness of the image.The application of adjustments such as exposure, shadows, whites, blacks, etc., in relation to the previous image. With all due respect, this is no way to work. When editing wedding photos, for example, I might have 800 images to finalize. After just 100, my eyes are exhausted. The sharpness shouldn’t appear after the image itself! And the colors should load immediately as well…I have to wait an extra second after opening an image to get the correct sharpness and colors. You will cause a visual defect in people on a global scale. Please fix this. By the way, version 14 performs significantly worse than version 13. It fr

New update is crashing and causing blue screens.  The pop-up for scanning for compatibility always says my computer is fine.  I have no problem with any other Adobe product.  Only LRC

Lightroom Classic keep shutting down my iMac Retina 5K, 27-inch 2017.  The program first freezes, then after almost 25 sec it shuts down my iMac.  Use Ventura 13.7, have turned of the GPU, still shuts down. Have no external drive connected. What is wrong? And how do I solve it? Fast. 

After the upgrade to Lightroom 14.0.1 the program don't work properly. The images were missing in the folders and I had to delete and try to sync again. It is impossible to edit images as they don't appear; the grey square remains a grey square...  I cannot add "key words": they will not be saved. The program is also very slow. I finally deleted the whole program and installed it again, but it is the same.  So now I don't really know what more I can do. It seems like this upgrade was a disaster. 

Usually I shoot RAW, with an iPhone 12Pro. Yesterday I mistakenly shot JPEG. When importing the files into Lightroom, I highlighted (as always) "Copy as DNG", which says that it will "copy to new location, import, and convert to DNG". However, after importing, the files remain JPEGs. Am I interpreting this import dialog incorrectly? Is there a way to convert these to DNG after the fact? Thanks for any help.

Dear LR community, I've been using LR for years and only recently discovered that I can access the camera's color profiles via the development settings. I only came across this because I wanted to know if I could apply the Fuji film-simulations to RAW files in LR. I found that there is a significant difference between the standard “Adobe Color” profile and the respective standard camera settings (regardless of the Fuji film-simulations). The question for me now is, of course, whether I will only use the camera profiles in future. I suspect that these settings correspond to the color profiles designed by Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon etc. for the respective sensor. Using the Adobe color profile as the default seems to standardize this across multiple cameras. What would you recommend? Does it make sense to switch to the camera settings by default or should you stick with the “Adobe Color” profile if you only use LR? And I would also like to know whether the color profi

Can someone please help me! Last week i had a pop up in Lrc for a small update. I did the update but since then it work so slow.  Importating the pictures is working fine but the loading the original previews is taking forever.  Already brought my laptop to a specialist and they cleaned up the laptop from virusses and slow make anti-virus protection etc. So i am sure my laptop is not the problem (Asus Zenbook Flip 15 with ADM Ryzen 7).    Can anyone tell me what to do? I can't work on photo's when i can't see wich one i am clicking on.   

I am using an Nvidia 4080 on Win11 pro. All drivers and software up to date. I have no idea why Lightroom sees it as windows 10 business. It's windows 11 pro. Regardless, the card obviously blows the system requirements out of the water. Any idea why I can't use this new, 1200$ card for full acceleration? 

I recently upgraded my computer to more ram and a SSD drive. It's not a blazer, but worked fine other than being a bit slow. Since doing this, Lightroom will not startup after closing it once. I have to open task manger then end task, then it will start. Sometimes, but not every time, if I switch to another catalog, it will not re-open.    I even took the new drive and ram out and installed the old memory and drive and it still does the same thing, never had this issue before.I have done a clean install of windows and lightroom 4 times now and every time I have this same issue. I am also having issues importing photos, but it's random, some will import fine some it will just sit and do nothing, I even let it sit overnight, nothing.    I tried installing a GT1030 GPU, (this is an older pc)  no differenceI never had these issues so I'm at a loss of what happened here. Really need some help. Windows 10 pro, 2tb SSD, 32gb ram,  i5-3470. 

Nikon Z9 nef files trying to import from NAS.  displays an error during import :unknown error.     import setting "add" not move, or anything else... TS steps restart mac m2 try to import by "adding" from NAS. results in unknown error. Deleted files from NAS and imported AGAIN. Same result   Nikon Studio reads the files just fine. Photo mechanic reads the files just fine. Finder reads the files just fine. LRC during import fails.   So lets not go down the road of your images/files are currupt as all other apps open them just fine. This is a newspaper job that wants their pics in a timely manner.  As a professinal that makes a living as a photographer I am absolutely FED UP w/ Adobe and their Beta software. LRC is a complete POS. The last problem I had was LRC shooting tethered and after several attempts to get ADOBE to own the issue, I get the run around on how it's a APPLE problem. Very seldom if ever does ADOBE EVER OWN THEIR issue and provide outstandin

Mac Studio M2 Max OS 14.6 running LRC 14.0.1   yet another problem with lr. first of all, even the forums are acting funny so im almost positive this is all on adobes end, not mine. ive gotten a completely new setup and tried with different controlling variables and i am still seeing the same results. please get your act together adobe, we are tired of paying for this unusable software.    the problem: when creating a collection in classic and syncing to the cloud, the collection will show up on LR web, LR CC and LR mobile but it will not be populated with images. the images havent crept into the album yet and ive left it there overnight. i pop into LR CC and create the same collection with the same amount of photos and they sync across all devices, including back into classic, almost immediately.    i was told during my last saga with tech support (which i do not recommend to anyone, it should be illegal the type of "service" they provide) that there were "tec

Hello,   I am working with the latest update to Lightroom classic and I am getting this error when I try to import from my SD card. I have gone through and made sure that I have privileges in system settings on my 2024 MacBook Pro. I have imported before and had no issues. I can't figure out why I'm getting this error.  I've looked at previous posts with this issue and some of them can't get it fixed either.

Went to upload photos and LRC said "catalog not found" so I clicked "choose different calatlog" and this popped up? Has never happened before I upgraded last week 😭 What is happening?

After using Photoshop YEARS ago, I am now reintroducing myself to it through CC.  I have also chosen the Lightroom option as well.  I have just purchased subscription and have downloaded the Lr program.  But, I am having problems locating my pictures in Photos on my mac.  I can see a sub folder of Pictures - but this does not contain all my photos.Where or how do I get to Photos?  Or do I have to move them out of Photos and into a folder under users?  Sorry for likely inane questions....I'm hoping to keep these basic ones to a minimum.  I just couldn't find the answers anywhere online or here in the forums.

The Transform > Level adjustment doesn't seem to sync properly across multiple photos within Lightroom Classic. If I click on Level in the Transform adjustments, it will level out that photo properly. If I then select several more photos and sync the Transform adjustments, it will turn on Level on all of these photos but not actually level them out.If I now go to one of the photos I just synced, I can see that Level has been turn on, but I need to hit the [Update] button in the Transform section to actually have it calculate it for that photo. To make it worse, if I select two or more photos, the [Update] button changes to [Sync], which will, just like before, sync the settings but not actually to the level calculations.So it seems I have to go through each individual photo one by and and hit the sync button to get all photos to leel out.I'm sure this is not the way it is intended to work. I'm running Lightroom Classic 14.0.1 Camera RAW 17.0 on a MacBook Pro M1 Max.

Bonjour, je voudrais installer de nouveau ma licence perpétuelle de LR6 sur mon nouvel ordinateur. Adobe ne  le prends plus en charge. Il est bien enregistré mais quand je veux le télécharger cela me dit que ce n'est plus valble, y a t'il un moyen tout de même de pouvoir à nouveau le téléchargerMerci

Is it possible to print contact sheets of the face previews in People screens? Bob Frost

I updated Lightroom Classic, on launch it asked to "upgrade my catalog". I upgraded. Now I cannot see any of my photos even though they are fully connected and Lighroom knows where they are – can locate to exact location on external drives where I store them. Which means they are connected. Problem is – it doesn't show them, I can't work with them.   Another part of the issue, is whenever I go to Catalog Settings it freezes the app completely so I can only force quit it. I tried reinstalling the app – didn't change anything.    I am on MacOS Sequoia 15.0.1. [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]

A few days ago I upgraded from 5.7 to 6 (standalone, not cloud). At first it was running fine but now I have problems starting the application (Windows 8). It opens but does not show any photos, sidebars etc. and Windows has it down as "not responding". I reinstalled Lightroom 6 and was able to log in once, but after a restart the same issue came up. I have also renamed my catalogue file - after doing that Lightroom starts and asks to create a new catalogue, but once I have done that clicking anywhere causes the programme to freeze again. Therefore I think it is not my catalogue that is to be blamed.Any suggestions?

Please help as I am getting very frustrated.  I own Adobe Lightroom 6 for many years but lately it keeps de-activating itself.  Why?!?!?!?  It has worked flawlessly for years and have no intention of going to a paid monthly plan.  If there is another option I am all ears.  Please help. Thank you, John

HiI have a imac 2011 running on EL Capitan. Succesfully downloaded and opened the application. However it is now in "Catalog upgrade in progress" stage for the last 90 mts, without the progress bar moving.What needs to be done now?

Hi,When deleting a file in Lightroom and choosing the option to also delete it from the disk, then LR tries to move the file to the recycle bin. Is there a way to have LR delete a file from the disk without it going to the recycle bin? I am on Windows 11.Background: I am having my iCloud photos folder added to Lightroom, and would like to delete photos from it via Lightroom. Unfortunately the Windows client for iCloud does not support the move operation to the recycle bin. When using Del key in Windows Explorer, there is an error, it works only with Shift+Del (=without recycle bin). This seems to be a known problem and I don't think Apple will fix it. So I am looking for a workaround so that deleting files from Lightroom could still work.Regards, Robert
