Questions

Hi, for over a month I have an issue with spot removal tool. I have over 500 photos with small dust spots from scanning, so I cleaned all of them with delete spot removal and since then whenever I restart Lightroom I have to update them. I didn't use generative AI, so I don't even understand why I have to do this. I was looking for solutions and none of them worked. I moved .lcart file from Lr folder, I used the ctrl+alt+U shortcut in the library module after selecting all photos in folder and none of these worked. The latter didn't even do anything, because when I looked in develop module, none of the spots were updated on any photo. There's also an issue with mask tools that may use AI (sky selection and object selection masks), I have to update them every time too.   Lr Classic 14.0.1 Windows 10 v.22H2   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

In  'All Photos" it often shows duplicates in the same folder. When i go to the folder, of course there is only one.  It also will show a missing photo right next to the actual photo. When I try to find the missing photo, it tells me it already exists in the catalog. I hopoe there is a solution for this.

My back button on Lightroom has dissapeared. Whenever I edit photos, I have an arrow that wipes all the edits I have made and I am unable to delete my last step as the back button arrow is no longer there. Please help

I would like to see more options for the crop guide overlay in Lightroom Classic. Specific example: I'm using the Golden Spiral overlay, and the smallest point in the spiral always shows up in the upper right area of the image. What if I want to put it in the lower left? I can see no way to do this.

Hey all,   I'm having issues with AI denoise. I've tried many times and waited forever for the same photos, checked the original folder for the dngs, tried different amounts of noise reduction, updated my computer, and nothing seems to work.   Thank you   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

When exporting files, the export process seems to take a long time - sometimes up to 10 minutes - to actually start exporting.I've found Lightroom in general to be running really slowly since the upgrade, so don't know if this is part of a wider performance issue.

WHAT'S GOING ON? I just opened LRc, and it turns out I've lost everything. All the presets I've been working on for years are gone. I can't even add photos to the program. Adobe, what's wrong with you lately? You've been making so many mistakes recently! How am I supposed to recover years of my work now?

Hi, I have Epson ET-8550 printer installed with latest drivers. When I print from lightroom, printed colors are way off from what I see on my monitor, but absolutely correct when I print exported to Epson Print Layout. Same paper ICC profile is set in lightroom and EPL.  What I'm missing? 

I dragged and dropped all  'lrcat'  files from the MacBook internal to the new external.  When doing so on      two of them I got a message that there was a newer version of that file so I didn't copy those two.  Should I also move them just to be safe? I thought I read that the next time I want to open LR I will click on on of the files on the external and somehow LR will then do that automatically in the future.   But does that also mean I won't be able to use LR without the external drive being connected? Can I now delete the internal drive files?   Thank you

I just hooked up a new OLED that has a comparable brightness to my MacBook Pro's display, yet I only see approximately 1 additional f-stop worth of Dynamic Range on the right side of the Histogram divider with HDR editing turned on.  The remainder of the HDR half of the histogram is greyed-out.This doesn't seem right to me. How does LR know my display's capabilities? Is it taken from settings baked into the current monitor profile? I use a Calibrite Display Plus HL colorimeter to profile my displays, and I built this profile to target D65, 2.2 Gamma, and the display's measured luminance (i.e., I didn't try to match 120cd/m² --I simply cranked it all the way up and made sure "HDR" was turned on in the System Display Settings dialog). Am I somehow choking LR's HDR capability with my calibration profile? EDIT (to clarify solution): So, I learned a lot of stuff about my external display, and about Apple's latest OS "improvements" that moved various settings around,

Hallo,ich bearbeite seit 3 Jahren meine Fotos in Lightroom auf dem IPad. Dazu nutze ich gern die KI-basierten Presets für neue Anregungen. (Unter Presets und dann auf „Empfohlen“)Nun bin ich auf einen Mac umgestiegen und nutze auch da u.a. diese Lightroomversion, neben Lightroom CC. Allerdings funktionieren hier die KI Presets nicht. Die Fotos sind lokal, deshalb wahrscheinlich keine KI Funktion.Auf dem IPad läuft es aber weiterhin, trotz voller Cloud. Was läuft auf dem IPad anders, als auf Mac oder PC? Durch die volle Cloud könnte ich doch eigentlich auch keine Bilder mehr auf dem IPad bearbeiten, wenn die KI nur mit der Cloud funktioniert. Was muss ich tun, um diese Funktion auch auf dem Mac nutzen zu können?Und zu meiner 2. Frage:Wie und wo sehe ich, was in meiner Adobe Cloud gespeichert ist? DankeMarcel

I have tried EVERYTHING.  I cannot import or export files.  When I click export, I get the message Unable to export Source Files are offline or missing   YET, when I locate the file, either individually or via folder, it points directly to the location.   I have tried syncronizing, I have unistalled and re-installed lightroom.  I just cannot figure this out.  I also took an original (my photos are stored in lightroom) and put it on my desk top. I cannot import that photo.     ANY help would be so appreciated!!   Tracey Winholt   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

I'm having issues with my edits not uploading to SmugMug (only on some photos, not all of them) Lightroom Classic 14.0.1, Windows 10, SM Publisher Version 3.5.7.0, Lightroom 14.0.1    I believe Smugmug gave up last night after 2 months.  Smugmug:  The Publish manager and Export settings windows appear to be correct. ⬆⬆The problem you are describing is an issue between the Develop and Library modules. This is out of the scope of the support SmugMug can provide for Lightroom.  I would check to make sure the .XMP files are associated with each image. This is really a issue for Adobe as the plugin takes instruction from the Lightroom catalog. N Data is stored or saved in the SmugMug plugin. What's happening is crazy. I can upload anywhere between 10 to 100 photos, but there's always a few edits and titles that don't upload. I always go from LRC to SM plugin to my SM website. I always thought it was random, now I believe I've isolated a single picture that is probl

Egal ob Kopierstempel, Reparaturpinsel oder Generatives Entfernen: Befindet sich in einer Bildecke ein Objekt (Rest einer ins Bild ragenden Softbox) bekommt man es mit keiner Methode sauber weg, egal welche Werkzeugeinstellung man vornimmt - klei, gross, weiche Kante, volle Deckkraft..

Edit In Photoshop 2025 from LrC launches the correct version of Photoshop, but doesn't open the selected image.I've reinstalled both Photoshop and LrC, in that order. Photoshop 2025 is chosen in LrC's external editing prefs.The command works if opening an image that lives somewhere on the Mac HD of the laptop, but not from any external drive. I've tried several drives with different formats (ExFat, HFS+ Extended, NTFS, spinning, SSD), even tried some from friends running different OS's but none work. I built new Lrc Catalogs on both the Mac HD and on an exernal drive and imported new images to each. The behavior remains the same - Edit In opens Photoshop, but doesn't open the selected image.I'm running Sonoma 14.5 on a 2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5, Intel Iris Plus Graphics 1536 MB, 16 GB 3733 MHz LPDDR4X.I'd welcome any ideas. Thanks. 

Hi Adobe friends,I've used lightroom for years and I've never had this issue. When I open LR, this is what I see. I can't move it to see the normal develop / library window. When I click off the window onto another area of my Mac, I can see the window I want to use. How can I close the screenshotted window so I can access what's behind it? Even settings and whatnot open behind this. So strange. Help 🙂

So i purchased the 9.99  Adobe Lightroom/ Lightroom Classic/ PS for desktop.  It appears that im only able to edit in Lightroom and when I say edit in LR CLASSIC it keeps telling me so save my photo which i think i am doing.. In any event when i go to apps i see the Adobe LIght Room and when his the drop down all i see is Lightroom not Lightroom classic and the GUI does not resemble i what i see on line.  Im am new to the Adobe world so a bit  of a learning curve is evident.  But how do i open up to LR CLASSIC. 

Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) v17.0.0 introduced new features and changes that Lightroom Classic (LrC) v14.0.0 did not get.   Denoise not creating separate file !!!! Generative expand Adaptive profiles I assume these features will come to LrC eventually, but I've mostly put photography on hold waiting for this update because the Denoise is SO GOOD and I hate having the extra file created.   I'm guessing February, but I'd love it to be sooner. If anyone can give more accurate guesses than that, I'm all ears.

Working with Lightoom Classic I am used to switching to the Library mode to see the GPS and location details. After being away for a week Lightoom now displays no GPS details in the panel it used to a week ago.If I export a file that appears to have no GPS the meta tags are there when opened in Photoshop.The only meta that does show is the address of the location, but NOTHING else, not even the file name. I have tried all the combinations of Presets but none of them show any more information. I see in preferences I can restore various preferences but have no idea which one of these will do this? I have lots of other settings such as sync preferences I do NOT want to lose so am reluctant to click on all of them in the hope it might fix the problem. Any ideas?
