Questions

This bug has been around for several iterations of MacOS Lightroom Classic and I've never reported it because I've always thought "surely, the developers have noticed this minor issue and will fix it in the next release." Nope.   So give it a try. Pull up a photo in the Library. Then switch to the Develop module. Before you do anything, click the profile dropdown and select a different profile. It won't change it. Now do it again. This time it will change. (see attached screen recording)   Another work around is to change any other Develop setting after you switch to the Develop module before you try to change the Profile. Then it will change.   Bottom line: You can't make a profile change the first thing you do after switching to the Develop module.   Can any of you replicate this? It drives me nuts because it's at the top and one of the first things I try to change in Develop.

Hi everyone, I'm using Lightroom Classic 2024 and trying to create a panorama with images that have been rotated slightly using the crop tool because the images I want merged were all tilted at different angles apparently. However, when I do a panorama merge, the images are sticked together as if the angle correction did not take place. I attached a sample of what my panorama looks like right now. It is approximately a 150 degree panorama and obviously, the lake horizon line is not supposed to be warped upwards where the mountains are. I know lightroom does non-destructive edits on photos, but since all my images are RAWs, is there any way to force it to take stuff like rotation changes into account when stiching panoramas? Thanks! 

The past couple of weeks, Lighroom Classic has been so slow to upload pics, change to a different picture, and do everything with editing. I'm on a 2021 Mac with M1 chip. At first, I thought my storage was running out but my storage is just fine. I need HELP PLZ!!! I have 2 photo shoots to edit and 1 coming up this weekend. I literally can't edit efficiently, it's WAY TOO SLOW. 

Hi, Ever since I updated to 15.0 yesterday on my windows 11, I cannot see what/how much blur I am putting on my photos in Lightroom. I'm having to export before I can tell then blindly adjust. Is there anything that can be done about this? It's driving me nuts and waisting a ton of precious time...

I am looking to increase my subscription from and android account purchased via Play store to a desktop account, and have a few worries about this.I want to be able to still have the seven day free trial, but dont want to lose my mobile account should I decide not to take the desktop version.I only have 6.1 gb of data in the cloud and wondered if I would lose this should I cancel the android account. I have tried asking these questions using the online chat and have had three different answers, which doesnt fill me with any certainty at all and is making me question wheter to move to a different programme.

Hi all, with the last version of LRC, the mask AI creation became slower related to previous version.I use a gaming laptop with 32GB RA;m Intel 7 10gen, dedicated GPU nVidia RTX2060 with 6GB Ram, SSD 1TB with 2 partition (LRC is installed into second partion with catalog and relative cache)When i created a landscape mask, depending by photo, LRC take almost 20sec to create the 3-5 masks. the GPU memory is load around 4-5 GB. The library works fine; my catalog is around 3000 picturesThe regulating sliders work fine but the mask creation is very problematic.I already tryed to re-install LRC and check different youtube tutorialDo you think that my laptop is underated?Do you have any suggestion?Thank youBest regardsGiorgio Facco

I am having an issue in Lightroom Classic CC.  When I go in to the develop tab, it says "loading" at the bottom of the image, but never loads.  It is just stuck like that and I can get no work done. Any help would be appreciated!!!!

lightroom classic appears to load but nothing appears on the desktop.  I checked the Task Manager which reported it running.  Lightroom and Photoshop run without a problem.

在lightroom中，於描述檔項目套用Leica Q3的"嵌入"，得到很奇怪的顏色。 但Leica Q3 43mm則沒這個問題。

Hi, I recently upgraded my MacOS to Sonoma (23A344). My Lightroom Classic version is up to date, version 12.5.Up until this point, my workflow for culling or deleting photos was to go through and reject the ones that I didn't want to keep. Next, I would select all rejected photos and "delete from disk," at which point the photos would appear in the trash. I could then recover any inadvertently deleted photos or empty the trash. However, I noticed today that when I am selecting the "delete from disk" option, the files disappear from lightroom and the folder (as expected) but they are NOT appearing in the trash. I tried restarting the computer and deleting other items, none of which have any issue, but those deleted files are not showing up in the trash. I am working directly from my computer and there is no shortage of free space. When I drag and drop files from the folders to the trash, they appear in the trash. The issue only occurs when deleting via Lightroom.&nbs

Lens Profiles Now Available for V-AF, Prime, and Zoom Series

Hallo, with the recent update of LrC, it upgraded my catalog file and then ended with an error screen telling: Failed to initialize AI Edits storage   What/where is AI Edits storage? How to open my catalog file?   Windows 10 with latest AMD drivers. LrC 15.0 Build 202510171722-44f87028 That catalog file is 1.3 GB free disk space is >100GB

Lens blur works once or twice, then stops working. If I clear cache and reboot, it works for a while, then have to do the same over again. Win11, LrC v15.0.1, Nvidia graphics.

This is a chronic but itermittant issue for me. No matter how often I reboot the computer (Mac Sequoia 15.2) or cycle through "J", or reset the LR preferences the Flag icon is repeatedly disappearing. After cycling through all the recommended fixes,  the flag icon may start to show for a few days, but then it reverts to no icon. I know the images are flagged, because when I ask it to select flagged images, they are properly selected. But in Grid, Filmstrip, Loupe... it doesn't matter. The flag icon is constantly disappearing.Been happening for a couple months (It's now Jan 15, 2025)

I tried optimizing and checking for integrity serveral times. I can't get my catalog to upgrade. There's only this message: Lightroom encountered problems when trying to update the format of the catalog fileand cannot use this catalog in this version of Lightroom. It sends me to a tech note that has nothing to do with my problem as far as I can tell. My OSX is up to date an on v26

In the last few months, Lightroom Classic has been adding keywords to my photos on import.Here is an example... Birds, Blur judgement:Appropriate, Exposure judgement:Appropriate, Water I have searched everywhere looking for an option to automatically add keywords based on the content of the image, but I cannot find anything. Please, someone, help me make it stop.

Sync is broken since the update to version 15.0...My computer is online more them 12 hours and nothing sync. And yes... it is online with a working internet connection.Everything was working fine and after the update the catalog start sync LOTS of images and its stuck ( look like all updates are metadata uploaded ).The LR CLOUD BASED is working fine and can access the catalog without any sync.No missing files, no issues with the catalog, it was optimized after the update, tested the integrity... no errors. Restarted the LR sometimes and the sync keep stucked.

Hi all!I have two copies of the identical photo.  The only difference is that one copy has had some photoshop changes and is a .TIF file, and the other is a raw file with a few lightroom adjustments.  No changes to the crop, rotation, angle, etc. have been done that might skew a localized adjustment mask.  I am using Lightroom 5.0 on a PC.I have an adjustment brush mask on my raw file that I would like to copy over to the .tif file.  I've tried both the copy settings/paste way of doing it, as well as the synchronize way of doing it (both times ensuring that all 'Local Adjustments' options and 'Process Version' were selected and nothing else).  Both approaches have the same result, and in both cases the result is way off.  (I've attached a photo to show what I mean).  What am I doing wrong?  It's not even close enough to warrant slight adjustments on my part.  I even exited Lightroom and re-booted it.As you can see, not only is the mask way o

I've got a new problem with images not rendering in the develop pane in Lightroom 14.5.1. The images look like they are out of focus effectively, every single one. I can elave the sceen for long periods of time (half an hour) and the image doesn't render at all, it still looks just out of focus. The only way to get each image to render is to zoom in to 100% then back out again, which is a real pain. Move to the next image and then back to the previous one and it is blurry again. I've rendered smart previews, standard previews, 1:1 previews, nothing makes any difference.  Using an M3 mac with 1gb free space on the drive and 32gb memory. I've also tried optimising the catalog, and trying a new test catalog, all the same.  Before anyone asks, yes, the images are definitiely in focus. Any ideas?

Hallo!Ich habe plötzlich Probleme mit der generativen Ki bei Lightroom Classic, aber auch bei Photoshop. Ich wollte das Doppelkinn einer Kundin leicht reduzieren, was mit der generativen Ki bisher immer perfekt geklappt hat oder kleine Unreinheiten, Schatten im Gesicht.  Jetzt wird mit aber immer folgende Fehlermeldung ausgespuckt: "Es gibt ein Problem mit deinen Ergebnissen. Bitte sieh dir unsere Richtlinien an und versuche es erneut". Ich habe mir die Richtlinien angeschaut und jetzt beim schnellen drüber lesen kein Problem mit meinem Versuch Hautunreinheiten zu entfernen gefunden.  Habt ihr Tipps für mich? 

Should standard previews be sized to the longest edge of the display's physical resolution or to the longest edge of the display's scaled resolution? I ask because the auto size for standard previews on my 4K display is 3840, even though my display is configured to display at 1920x1080 in system settings->display.

When working with multiple masks in Lightroom, the app consistently freezes when toggling the “before/after” view (using either the “Eye” icon or the “\” keyboard shortcut) while the top mask is a Subject Mask. Steps to reproduce:Create two masks on an image.Make the top mask a Subject Mask.Apply any mask adjustments.Repeatedly toggle the “Eye” icon or press “\” multiple times to view before/after.Lightroom will eventually freeze and become unresponsive. System info:macOS Sequoia (reproduced on multiple devices)Lightroom Classic 14.5.1 Screen recording demonstrating the issue is attached.Note: In the video, I’m clicking pretty fast just to trigger the freeze reliably, but in normal use Lightroom can still hang after just a few before/after checks.

Hi, I've reached a frustration point where I'm ready to look for alternatives to Adobe.One day I create a catalog & a collection and it syncs to my lightroom.adobe.com library beautifully and then another day I create a different catalog and collection and it refuses to sync. I'm using Lightroom Classic 15.0.1 on Windows 11 Home, with plenty of Ram (64GB) and a 4TB drive, my raw cache is set to 60GB.Current sample set is 849 images.I have imported every way possible - w standard previews, w 1:1 previews, w smart previews, etc.I create a collection, I initiate sync.EVERY TIME, I see my photos "sync", but none of the images actually do - I receive this error for every image.  Every single image.  If I go to my ipad to view the sync'd files it gives the same error, the grid with grey blocks is there - with no image actually available for me to edit. The issue started before the updates that were just released to LR Classic.  I've "permanently deleted all

Lightroom Classic has been misbehaving intermittently for a few months now.  I had hoped the latest version would fix things but it hasn't. When scrolling in the Grid,or Filmstrip image display sometimes stalls for several seconds.  When importing, the folder structure of the hard drive where my photos are stored sometimes does not display in Destination, and now I sometimes get a green screen when selecting 100% view in the Library module.  If I quit LR and re-open the problems go away but eventually return.   I have the latest version of LR classic (15.0.1) installed on my internal SSD drive (2Tb with 360GB free space).  I have done all the recommended actions to improve LR performance including uninstall and re-install of LR, deletion of preference files, checked cache size is adequate (it is set at 50Gb and is on my internal SSD), optimised catalog.  Graphics processor is on auto.   I have deleted any unused plug-ins.
