Questions

Hi, I have LrC installed on my Windows 10 Laptop and my new Windows 11 Desktop.I haven't been able to open my catalog (now on my desktop) with my laptop. I decided to uninstall the laptop. How can I do it without affecting the installation on my desktop?.Thanks in advance for your help.

I just upgraded to LRC 14.0.1, and the denoise feature no longer works. It says, "Denoise is not currently compatible with this photo format." The file is a full-size CR3 from a Canon R5c, which worked with denoise in LRC 13.x.  I am on an 2021 M1 Max Macbook Pro, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB SSD, 10 cores.  Adobe mentioned, "The October release of Lightroom Classic version (14.0) has disabled Apple Neural Engine support for AI Denoise on macOS."  Does this mean denoise doesn't work for me or is this a bug? I've reset preferences, restarted my machine, and uninstalled/reinstalled LRC. Any help is appreciated! 

Hello everyone,first of all, all the best for the new year! I have a problem with removing disturbing elements in the background via generative removal. Normally this works quite well, but here the newly generated areas have a different grain (caused by ISO) and you can clearly see the transitions/borders to the original background.Does anyone have any ideas on how I can improve this? Or do you know a good tutorial on how to do this? Many thanks and best regards!

As of November 22, LightRoom Classic is 10.0 Release, iMac is 10.15.7iPhone has latest iOS.  iPhone 11 Pro Max Every time I import from my iPhone, I am presented with two different photos for each photo I shot, with different aspect ratios.  I recall this happening after an iOS update. Is there anything that I can do to stop these multiple version imports?I have attached a sample of what my import looks like. Is there anything that I can do?Thanks  

So have noticed for the last couple of months that when I switch from the Develop module back to the library module, I get kicked out of the app to another app that happens to be open on my desktop could be a web browser, document in progress, Google Earth, whatever is open.As soon as I click on the library module, Lightroom (LRC 14.0.1) doesn't close or shut down. I simply get bounced out of that window to another app., I can still simply click back to LRC but it is a pain.I keep hoping that update or restart resolve the issue but it's persistent. Any thoughts? I'm on Sequpia 15.1.1 btwTIA

According to JV16, Adobe products account for about 2/3 of Windows 11's boot times. On my system a clean install of Windows 11 takes about 35 seconds. Now that I have Lightroom Classic and Photoshop loaded, this varies from about 70-90 seconds. Is this normal and typical or is there something to be done to shorten this time. 

I think older versions of the Adobe DNG Converter allowed you to convert jpg files to dng.The current version will only convert raw files to dng.I understand that some may not think this conversion is a good idea. I just want to know how to do it.Thanks.

hello, can someone please share their wisdom regarding this issue, some of my .CR3 imports are coming hidden for some reason, and Lightroom is unable to detect them in the Import Module, i am on MacOs and by clicking on "Command + Shift + . " the CR3's are visible in my folder, however Lightroom is still unable to see or import them. please refer to the screenShot to understant my issue,many thanks!

I am trying to remove a folder from my catalog and when I select that folder and clich remove nothing happens.  I even tried to delete the original folder on my physical drive and that did not work.  I subsequently created an new folder on my hard drive and selected find missing folder and nothing happend.How do I delete this folder.   It is called 2022 and I am using windows.

I was planning to reedit some of my favourite pics (from 2016), air to air session with Blackhawk helicopters, when I ran into something that I haver never seen in Lightroom Classic before. All pictures where I have yellow ( can´t use the correct word due to dual meaning)  fields in the background look allright in library mode but overexpose the background to an extreme level when I go into develop mode. It´s been some 7-8 years since I worked with these pictures, but this was not a problem then...Any clues or hints on how to solve this?

I haven't used LRC for several months but updated through those months.  I just returned to LRC, making some imports to catch up.  I understand the catalog is larger now after the last few months of updates but I had no idea it would be 135mB and take a while to load (I can't get high speed internet where I live just yet). That said, however, I wonder if there is a way to reduce the size by eliminating some of the folders in my catalog. This is the catalog as in LRC: label cat.jpgThis is the catalog in OneDrive where it is stored: cat2.jpgThe catalog looks quite different: cat3.jpg.  Is this correct? Thanks for your time!Bruce   

Hey, I am having trouble with getting lightroom to open. When ever I try to open a catelog all I end up with is a black rectangle with the name of one of my catelogs (always the same one not matter what catelog I try to open). The same catelog still works on a different device (connect via onedrive). Lightroom is also running in task manager. Has anybody had a similar issue to this and if so what are some possible solutions? Thanks in advance

Bonjour,Depuis peu j'ai un gros problème d'affichage de mes photos dans le module impression : au début plus rien dans la fenêtre d'aperçu et maintenant, bien plus génant,  une image tronquée (juste le haut est affiché) dans la fenête principale (voir saisie d'écran jointe).J'ai fait une mise à jour du logiciel et même une nouvelle installation mais cela ne résout pas le problème.Une idée pour corriger ce bug ?Merci. 

I have a question about LrSocket's receive processstartRecvHttpServer = function() LrTasks.startAsyncTask(function() LrFunctionContext.callWithContext("sign_in", function(context) local running = true local serverSocket = LrSocket.bind({ functionContext = context, plugin = _PLUGIN, port = 9999, mode = "receive", onConnecting = function(socket, port) end, onConnected = function(socket, port) end, onError = function(socket, errorMsg) end, onMessage = function(socket, data) logger.Info("Receive Callback: " .. data) running = false end, onClosed = function(socket) running = false end, }) while running do LrTasks.sleep(1 / 2)

For the first few weeks, opening an image from Lightroom into new DxO PhotoLab 8 by going to Plug-in Extras and choosing Transfer to DxO PhotoLab worked perfectly. Now, fo unknown reason, the only way I can get this to work is to close down PhotoLab and go back to Lightroom and again choose to tansfer the selected image, starts up PhotoLab 8 and successfully opens the image. Of course, I would rather it would just transfer the image to PhotoLab while the program is ready and opened.Is it a glich I should just live with? Any ideas on this or how to correct or fix? TIA, Ken

While I am generally satisfied with Adobe's customer support, my experience with Blurb has been quite disappointing. Their response times are significantly delayed, often taking days to reply to emails. This level of service is unacceptable, particularly when dealing with time-sensitive tasks such as reordering a book. Although Blurb is a separate entity, Adobe heavily promotes their services, and as such, I believe Adobe has a responsibility to ensure that Blurb maintains a high standard of customer support. It is surprising that Adobe continues to endorse a partner with such inadequate service, especially when alternatives with more reliable support are available.

I love the F12 single-button command to activate taking a photo. Now I want a key command to activate tethered capturing. Does it exist? Have I just not found it in my searching? Please reply. If it doesn't, consider this suggestion for future updates. Everyone currently must use a mouse/stylus to navigate via File>Tethered Capture>Start Tethered Capture. To have an option + Command/Control ___ something-or-other shortcut would be amazing; a great time saver. I want it for just getting started and also because, some days, I start, stop, and later re-start LrC to jump back into tethered shooting. Sometimes the whole works just keeps crashing for reasons only the Gods understand and we are quitting LrC and starting over to re-establish camera connections. Tether capture seems like a major function of LrC so a "get started" shortcut seems wise.

  When merging HDR in Lightroom, strange artifacts like the photos occur around bright light sources or their surrounding areas This issue mainly happens with nighttime photos that have intense lighting It occurs regardless of whether 'Auto Align' or 'Auto Settings' is enabled, and I'm using three exposures: -2, 0, and +2 Increasing the deghosting amount can resolve the issue if the problematic areas are included in the deghosting target (since deghosting works by addressing such areas without merging multiple images) However, if the area isn’t identified as a deghosting, the issue remains unresolved       Additionally, when merging sunset photos, applying deghosting to address issues like moving clouds often causes noticeable color banding along the boundaries of the deghosted areas (last 2 photos) The color and tonal gradation don't align properly, creating visible layers I'd like to know how to resolve this issue Also, if there's a specific name for these

Bonjour,Synchronisation des paramètres de développement entre images ne fonctionne plus, tout comme le copier/coller depuis la dernière mise à jour. Chaque tentative me bloque Lightroom, et je dois débloquer en utilisant la touche échap !!L'utilité du logiciel est mise à mal, puisque le principe même est de pouvoir faire un réglage pour le coller sur les photos de la série...

When using the object masking tool LR has suddenly begun making a result like the one in this screenshot.It will make the square/rectangle, partterned, selection around the selection i have made. In this example i selected the the opening in the middle, above the handrail, with the 2 beams and the blownout sky. Does/has this happened to anyone else? if so, how did you fix it?

HelloThe following situation occurs: I have lightroom classic on iMac os Monterey. One on MacBook Air os sequoia 15.1.1 . My photos and Lightroom catalog are on external SSD disk. The last few weeks I have been working on my MacBook Air. Now I recently reconnected my external disk to iMac and get the message that the catalog is not compatible with the os version on iMac and I have to update the operating system to a later version, but my iMac can no longer be updated to a later version of os. Is there a solution for this? Or do I have to create two separate catalogs, one for iMac and one for MacBook Air?This probably means that I have double work with entering keywords. Or is there another solution?Thanks for your answer.

Hi everyone! Yesterday I purchased a preset from Archipelago. I download it and it worked. Today I had some problems with Lightroom and decided to reset all the settings. After that, the preset is gone. When I try to download it again, it shows me this message: Unable to import preset. All items were already imported.  I'm not any kind of a technical person unfortunately, so I really don't know what to do to restore the preset I bought. Can anyone help me? Would appreciate it a lot!

I have recently been unable to create new catalogues in Lightroom.I select File > New Catalogue but then I am endlessly given the New Folder option and not the create option.This is probably really simple and I'm not techy in any respect - all suggestions gratefully received!Thank you.

I am using the Lightroom Classic App on my HP Laptop and i have been exploring preference settings not that i have Topaz AI. I was able to add the plugin so i can "Edit in Topaz AI" however, when trying to adjust the preferences to utlize the app and editing software i am not getting many options. Some of the tutorials i have seen i see them go to (Edit>Preferences>General, etc..) and a bunch of options come up to set the gb of photo you export, exporting in Raw and so on.The problem i am having is that when i go to edit, then preferences i get very little options at all and not seing at all the options i am seing in these tutorial. What i am doing wrong or what is going on here? I hope someone understands what i am trying to say and can help! Thank you,Ryan
