Questions

I am on Windows 11 Pro and I have the latest Creative Cloud with PS and LR Classic, Nvidia 2060S with the latest drivers. This error started appearing a couple of months ago. I start Lightroom, never mind if I open the catalogue or click the icon, and it takes 20 minutes to pop up. Task Manager shows it’s running, but it takes 20 minutes to show up.

In 15.4.1 I have found that in Lens Blur the Blur option of Brush Refinement seems broken.  Using it does the same as the Focus option.  Anyone else noticed this?I am running the Mac version.

I’ve noticed the crop tool is sticky again. Lightroom Classic version: 15.5 [ 202607291506-b8869fa7 ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: enOperating system: Windows 11 - Home Premium EditionVersion: 11.0.26200Application architecture: x64System architecture: x64Logical processor count: 24Processor speed: 3.4GHzSqLite Version: 3.36.0Adobe GSDK Version: 1.4.0.213CPU Utilisation: 1.0%Power Source: Plugged InBuilt-in memory: 65292.0 MBDedicated GPU memory used by Lightroom: 11351.4MB / 15995.0MB (70%)Real memory available to Lightroom: 65292.0 MBReal memory used by Lightroom: 12382.0 MB (18.9%)Virtual memory used by Lightroom: 24292.0 MBGDI objects count: 1276USER objects count: 4660Process handles count: 19316Memory cache size: 0.0MBInternal Camera Raw version: 18.5 [ 2673 ]Maximum thread count used by Camera Raw: 5Camera Raw SIMD optimization: SSE2,AVX,AVX2Camera Raw virtual memory: 1660MB / 32646MB (5%)Camera Raw real memory: 1926MB / 65292MB (2%)Cache1: NT- RAM:0.0MB, VRAM:0.0MB,

Since going to the 15.5 release, the Masking tools are not working correctly.  As with the attached screenshot, though there is clearly a subject, the Subject mask cannot find it.  I tried with several other photos and got the same results (on equally obvious subjects).

since updating to 15.3, I’m finding that Lightroom Classic is quickly hitting a memory leak and freezing or crashing.  I’m processing RAW Canon CR-3 files, often adding AI object removal, and synchronising my edits across groups of photos (including masks, AI object removals & colour grading).  I find that I can only run for approximately 30 - 60 minutes before I start to encounter memory issues and either the app pauses (and doesn’t come back to life) or crashes altogether.  I keep getting error messages telling me that my system has run out of memoryThis has only been a problem since updating to LrC 15.3 a few days ago.system tech specs: MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2021)Apple M1 Max64gb ramMac OSX 26.4.1  

HI,I have LR classic and LR web, On LR classic I want to synchro somes photo and video, but the program stay blocked, i try to take off the synchro but it stay the same!!Can you help me?Antoine 

Any mask that I create in LRC the selection turns to B&W.  The only way I can revert back to color is to undo the mask.  if I leave the Mask Edit menu and go to Basic Edit menu, the selected objects are still B&W and all the sliders work as expected on the B&W object, i.e. if I change the Exposure slider the B&W object change brightness just as the rest of the image. This happens with both .nef & .dng files. Ken Anderson (aka keniliamna) 

Hardware:Mac Mini M4 Pro with 24 GB RAM and 16 GPU cores. The same issue also occurs on an M1 Pro. Lightroom Classic 15.2 macOS Tahoe 26.3 RAW ARW files from Sony A1, A9ii and A9i as well as compressed DNG converted files behave similarly. GPU acceleration is enabled in Preferences > PerformanceObserved behavior with AI Denoise Lightroom Classic Denoising a single image via the Detail panel is very fast: 5–7 seconds. When batch-processing even just 2 images, the first image processes quickly (normal speed), but the second image takes 38–40 seconds — about 5× slower. In larger batches (e.g., 100 images), the first image remains fast, but all subsequent images (the remaining 99) are consistently slow. Creating a preset that applies only Denoise and applying it to a single image results in the slow processing time (~40 seconds). Denoising one image quickly, then syncing that setting to another image, is also very slow.Workaround comparison: Manually scrolling through thumbnails and cli

In the recently released 15.5 LrC when modifying the capture time the list in the Library filter is not updated. Before edit capture time 001 is updated, not shown as selected on todayLeaving folder and re-entering brings in new date of 001.Modifying 002 does not show its new date. This started with LrC 15.5, in 15.4 the date list was updated immediately.Checked with Flag and Rating these new values are shown immediately when set.This is on Windows ARM.

My Lightroom Classic catalog got corrupted so I created a new one and imported all my photos from the corrupted one. That worked fine. Now, I am trying to get it back to syncing properly. I enabled sync on the new catalog. Lightroom created a "From Lightroom" collection set, but all downloaded collections remain empty. Sync stopped after approximately about 2,000 photographs and has remained at that count for several days even though there are over 30,000 photos to be synced. Sync Activity continuously shows cloud asset downloads, but no progress is made. The original local collections remain intact but are no longer linked to the cloud. Enabling sync on one of those collections creates a duplicate cloud album instead of reconnecting it. Does anyone know what I should do?

Why does the Develop module not populate the image, but is a blank grey space? G, E all quickly populate proper display, but Develop, Flagging, Starring are SUPER SLOW, as in 30 seconds to register the keystroke, if at all.    What is bogging this down. Came out of blue, however the images are stored on an external HD, and my Mac battery expired while the external hard drive was attached and LrClassic was open.   I have the latest MacOS and Lightroom classic updates onboard.   

I have an issue for about last month or so that every time I remove something from a photo, it can be a dirty spot in the sky and it can be a socket on the wall, each one of them can take 5 sec or 10 minutes.Sometimes it will remove a spot in a sec and in the next it will take forever. 5-10 minutes.I worked with gemini and this are the things I did to try and solve this:- Created a new catalog and gave it more space for cache, I think 5GB was the recommendation if I remember correctly.- I added memory to my pc now it is 2*16GB.- Changed my wierelles card now my internet is 100GB download 80GB upload.Overall my pc works very fast and has no issues, this is the only one.What else can I do to make this processes faster?I can’t work and provide results for my customers and it hurts my business badly. 

hii copied my lightroom catalogue to an expernal encrypted usb-drive. I can’t open it directly on the external drive (because it is read-only) so i copied it on my notebook (windows).When i open it in Lightroom it updates the catalog (which works fine) and then opens it …. unfortunately not a single preview is shown although i also copied those files with the catalogue(yes, i did not take all original photos with me as i intended to do most work in the catalogue section (where the previews would be enough to have).can i somehow get those previews to be shown in the catalogue? 

I’m an enthusiastic amateur at using LRc, needing help. I have an external 4TB SSD which houses a few thousand images (over 3TB) and the associated catalogue files. I bought 2 x 6TB external SSDs and configured them in Raid 0 because the drive at Point 1 is nearing capacity. These were far cheaper than buying a larger single drive. I have copies of original images safely stored in the cloud. I’m about to go on a photography trip which I will need space for about another 2TB to 4TB. My goal is to move the current 4TB to the Raid Drive, and put the associated LRc files on my internal M4 Mac Mini. Despite reading up on and watching videos of helpful ‘stuff’, I'm not confident or clear how to undertake this 2-part transition correctly without at least one ‘wheel’ coming off.  In summary, how do I effectively move my images to the external drive and move the catalogue files to my internal drive?Many thanks in advance for your help!

Ich habe bei meinem Katalog nur die Backupfunktion eingeschaltet und gleich ein Backup mit Katalogoptimierung gemacht. Und nun sind alle Vorschaubilder weg. Das habe ich ja noch nie erlebt. Wie kann das denn sein? Das Problem ist wirklich erst nach dem Backup enstanden.  

Every time I open a group of profiles in the profile browser, the thumbnails are much smaller than they should be. I prefer to use large thumbnails that should fill the entire width of the side panel. But they only fill about a third of it. I have to select one of the other view modes (Grid or List), and then go back to Large again, then they get the right size. But it's incredibly annoying that this happens every time I open a new group of profiles.   It has been like this for a long time, and a new Mac and new updates to Lightroom have not solved the problem. Am I the only one experiencing this?  

Sometimes, maybe. 1 in 10 when I edit in another program, LR does not properly make a copy with Lightroom edits. It will sometimes even make the copy of a version prior to some final edits I made. It’s almost always. a much brighter version of what it should have done. You can look at the copy and original and they are not the same.

After importing images into Lightroom Classic and performing edits, then selecting Edit in Photoshop and it opens, the images do not retain the LR edits on them and are back to the RAW appearance (No edits applied). I have Uninstalled/Installed both LR & PS with saving preferences and also fully uninstalled/installed without retaining preferences. I have tried Using GPU acceleration and auto. Nothing seems to work. I have gone into so many posts relating to this issue. Windows 11 is up to date. GPU drivers are up to date. LR & PS are up to date. I have a travel laptop that works like it should with this workflow and I set every single preference and catalog setting in LR & PS the exact same and still the same result. I have also created a new (testing) catalog to see if it's a catalog issue but no fix either. The only thing that seems to go with the image is any object removal I have done. No color grading, masking ect.

Lightroom Classic 12.3 (and all previous versions of LrC while running Windows 11, as far as I can remember) Windows 11 (can't remember if it did this in Windows 10)   Let's suppose I have only two applications open, Microsoft Word and my web browser. In windows, when I press Alt-Tab, I switch from one application to the other. If have three applications open, such as Word, Web Browser and E-mail program, Alt-Tab lets me move to the 2nd app and Alt-Tab twice lets me move to the 3rd app. All as expected.   But if one of those applications open is Lightroom Classic, then Alt-Tab once keeps me in Lightroom Classic. Not expected. I have to Alt-Tab twice to move to the next application that is open. Not expected, and annoying.   Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a way to fix this so Alt-Tab when I am in Lightroom Classic works as with any other application? Is this a bug?

There is a scaling bug in the Profile Browser in the Develop Module. The star icons used to favorite profiles are ONLY visible when the Font Size (in Preferences) is set to 150%. If the Font Size is set to 'Medium' or 'Small', the right-hand panel cannot be dragged out or expanded far enough to reveal the star icons, causing them to be cut off. Windows 11, 25H2, Build: 26200.8875

A "Photo Merge - HDR" menüt használva, 3 képet kijelölve, az összeszerkesztés nem fejeződik be. Ez a hiba a korábbi verziókban is előfordult, de nagyon ritkán. Most a legfrissebb verzióban, nagyon gyakori. Csak a programból való kilépés és újraindítás után tudom folytatni, és látom, hogy elkészült az összeszerkesztett kép, de továbbra is látva marad a 3.db. kép amiből összeszerkesztődött.
