Hi, I need to know how to get develop presets in Lightroom clustered together in the preset panel. After a lot of examining of the .xmp files, I notice the .xmp files that are grouped contain a line of code crs:Cluster="#01 PRESETS CLUB".   This appears to group presets with the same cluster name together. If I remove the text between the quotation marks in an .xmp file the relevant file is not grouped or clustered.   To modify this line in all my presets would take time.   I am using both presets I have created myself and presets I have purchased.    The independent developers must have a way of doing this quickly or have special s/w which allows them to create the .xmp files with this info. Further testing indicates that this data in the cluster line must be in upper case otherwise it won't work and will in fact corrupts the preset panel.   If you look at the two screen shots I have attached it will explain it better.  Note there are a couple of pr

Buenas a todos:No se si os pasara igual que a mi, pero me cuesta mucho ver ligtroom con ese fondo negro. Pregunto, es posible ponerlo mas claro o de otro color para verlo mejor? Gracias 

Afternoon, I'm just looking to reach out as this hasnt happened before and I'm not to sure what im doing wrong or whats changed.  My photos I've taken are are over 20mb once imported, edited and exported the files are only 6mb and 6.5mb. They still look fine and everything but it's usually at least double that in size. I'm just wondering if im doing something wrong or missing something. Thank you

I am running circles trying to undetstand exactly how the file management works between LR Classic and Lightroom.  Example scenario:Create a new album in Lightroom, add a photo to testOpen LR ClassicI see the new album in my "From Lightroom CC" collections after sync updatesTo test I click stop syncing in LR ClassicThe album them disappears from LR Question: why would the album dissappear when I created it in Lightroom in the fist place? Shouldn't those files stay whether I want to see/edit/sync them in LR Classic or not? I read the help articles and can't get my brain around how the file management works. 

In the past few months, I cant seem to get my external SSD's to appear anymore inm my sidebar/library mode...what am I missing? TIA

Looking for help resolving an issue. Here is a rundown of what I did that resulted in this. Wanted to start a new catalog since the one I had was so big, 500K + photos Moved all catalog files to external drive as a backupCreated a new catalog in LR ClassicPrompted to sync to new catalog, selected yes assuming it would pull all prior sync catalogs from other LR Classic catalogAs sync completed, noticed many synced folders contained less files than prior, one about 8500 less photosNoticed that also changed what was showing in Lightroom (mobile/cloud)Opened old catalog in LR Classic hoping the sync files would show back upOne specific folder shows over 9500 photos but many now missingMade sure the sync folder was the same as the prior sync folder on local driveLet sync run and files still not returningLightroom (mobile/cloud) still shows way less photos so essentially appears I lost them?Sync online shows zero issues Looking for help getting back the prviously synced catalo

Hola, creo que necesito ayuda.Tengo el plan fotográfico y hasta ahora no he tenido problemas, al menos como este.Ha habido una actualización y el catálogo del LR se ha desconfigurado. Han desaparecido todas las etiquetas de las fotos (unas 127.000), los ajustes de usuario (exportar, filtros de biblioteca, etiquetas...) también han desaparecido.He hablado por chat con un técnico muy amable que me ha ayudado a recuperar la copia de seguridad (no lo había tenido que hacer nunca), he recuperado la del día 9... y nada, la del día 6 y nada, me temo que la solución debe ir por otro lado. En este momento no hay técnicos disponibles.¿Alguna idea? Gracias

I have been banging my head on this for a good day or so, so looking for some help. I have a Plugin which I need to do some metadata tweaking when images are exported.  The code (see below), sems to work and returns the expected results to the logfile, but the export doesn't continue and no image is exported. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong or missing ? Thanks local LrLogger = import 'LrLogger' local LrTasks = import 'LrTasks' local LrApplication = import 'LrApplication' -- Simple logger initialization for testing local logger = LrLogger("TestPostProcessActionProvider") logger:enable("logfile") -- Ensure it logs to Lightroom's log file logger:info("Plugin has started executing") return { sectionForFilterInDialog = function(viewFactory, propertyTable) return { title = "Update IPTC:Headline with Title", } end, postProcessRenderedPhotos = function(functionContext, exportContext) logger:info("Post-process act

To start I have no problems with Photoshop/PS Beta or Premiere Pro, only LR Classic. I have a pretty powerful system and I built it with overkill in mind. I won't say it's not the system but it has SSDs for the Operating system and I have a separate SSD as my Photography drive that houses my photos and the Lightroom files.I wish there was a way to reinstall LR over the current install and see if that does anything but I don't see a simple solution.I'm updated on all my drivers and current versions of Apps... Maybe someone can see in the system info that I copied from the preferences in LR...   Lightroom Classic version: 14.0.1 [ 202410161356-30922cfc ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: enOperating system: Windows 11 - Home Premium EditionVersion: 11.0.22631Application architecture: x64System architecture: x64Logical processor count: 16Processor speed: 3.8GHzSqLite Version: 3.36.0CPU Utilisation: 0.0%Power Source: Plugged InBuilt-in memory: 65461.8 MBDedicated GPU m

I have a folder called " to edit" . In that folder I have photos and another folder called "more edit". I tried to send the photos in the 'more edit" folder to the "to edit" folder. Lightroom says it already exists. When I try delete them from the "more edit" folder , then it is deleted in both. So "more edit" is a sub folder in "to edit" folder. How can I delete them in the "more edit " folder. Thanks for any help

After making the basic edits in Lightroom CC I continue editing them in Photoshop by choosing "edit in Photoshop". When I'm done in Photoshop, I merge all layers, then hit "save".Normally, this image then returns in Lightroom  immediately.However, lately, either it doesn´t show up in Lightroom at all, or it takes a very long time for it to show up. All programs are updated.Does anybody know what the problem is?

I've been using lightroom classic since november, it ran fine first but now "2 days ago" when i touch one knob it takes longer to render than it took the graphics team to render the blackhole scene on interstellar. Is lightroom classics code written on the web version of python, and how long does it take to write "hello world"?  How is it possible that my computer can run rdr2 80fps on max but it takes a quantum computer 10 to the power of sweet jesus to raise exposure by 0.01 in lightroom classic if it evens opens up the software that is. Now yea ive tried every solution that has been written on the web since google was published to the public and to no avail. If by some miracle anyone in here has the golden solution to fix my "lightroom slow" incident here, i will for eternity pray upon your soul that nothing bad ever happens to you.   Below are my computer specs: More than good enough to use a photoediting software.    

been on numerous calls with adobe reps to no avail since October. Synced images in Lightroom delete from Collections in Lightroom classic.  Have uploaded the diagnostics log with no response. Please help

I back-up my catalogs regularly and have my preferences set to Open Most Recent Catalog. To free up disk space, I delete old back-ups. However, when I delete a specific back-up and the one to which show as the location of the catalog, things get messed up. This is a fairly new issue that arose about 3-4 months ago.I would think the location of the catalog would update to the most recent back-up. What am I misunderstanding or doing wrong? Thank you

Adobe Creative Cloud is trying to update my Lightroom and Photoshop to 14.1 (I think), but it never gets beyond 13%. It advanced from 11% yesterday, however. So, the update is either very slow or has some other problem. I have no other issues with my Internet connection. This is the yearly basic plan with 20GB, and it is a Windows 11 system.

Hi all, I have an unusual problem with Lightroom that I can't seem to fix, and it appears to be due to the way Windows stores files. I have a folder with an archive of old weddings, but on first import, Lightroom only imported 6000 of the 23000 images. When I right-click>synchronize on the archive folder, Lightroom tells me there are 17,000 new images. However, when I hit Synchronize again, it says there are no images to import. Where things get stranger is when I drag the images in to import from the individual subfolder, it creates the strangest file structure:  As you can see above, there is the original "processed" archive where some images are, and the strange new one Lightroom has added with the ~ signs. Has anyone experienced this before and could suggest a fix? Many thanks. 

I cant import ANY photos anymore.. No matter which folder i choose in the import dialogue - i only see a little spinning animation in the bottom left and no file appears in the main window of the dialogue..I already had problems in the last days with trying to import files from my iCloud, but since the update today, no files showes uo anymore... any idea ?

Hi....I have been using PS Elements & Photos on a Mac for many years, and want to change over to LRC.   I have done lots of reading etc but am getting more confused.    Currently I import and store my days photos into Photos, and save on an external hard drive keeping the original file names, and then delete the unwanted ones from Photos......... then upload to my website.What I woud like to do is to import the photos, go through and delete the unwanted ones, change the file name to sequence (now there will be gaps in original file names from the deleted ones)......then export the new file name/sequence photos to my website.Where do I start?  How do I get the newly named sequential photos onto my hard drive to save as the originals?    Some of these would be edited at a later date in LRC and saved/sent to clients.   I would create a new collection each day for the photos, and delete etc from there.....

Default presets that come with lightroom classic are no longer showing in left hand side bar. I am unsure if this was caused by an update but it has been missing for quite some time. I see most complaints about this regarding presets users have loaded themselves but no information about the standard presets that come with Lightroom Classic are they are the ones i was learning to use. So far i have tried a few settings in the prefferences/presets area but no luck. If anyone knows what may be wrong advice would be much appricated. Cheers

Hello, having recently removed Luminar Neo from my Windows 11 computer can anyone help with me instructions on how to remove it from 'Edit in' list in Lightroom Classic.many Thanks David

Windows 10, Desktop, Lightroom Classic 14.1.1If I select the red label filter in "All Photographs" only a single photo is displayed. However, if I select a collection (with sub-collections) then all 15 photos with the red label are displayed including the one that was displayed in "All Photographs". I'm expecting that all 15 are displayed when using "All Photographs". I've ensured that no other filter is active other than red label. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? Thanks for any help.
