Questions

Currently trying to backup my existing external hard drive that I used to store all my LR stuff to a secondary hard drive for safekeeping and it keeps failing.  Error message reads as such:“The finder cannot complete the operation because some data in “AMW_Lightroom Catalog 2-v12 Previews.lrdata can’t be read or written. (Error code -36)”This is my current active catalog that I have been working off of with no problems so I do not understand where the problem is coming from. currently working on a newer MacBook Pro.The file tagged with the yellow dot is the one that keeps failing. 

HEllo!I am hoping that someone could help me with my LIghtroom Classic problem.  Last week, I was unable to open  Lightroom on my windows computer.  It would twirl around and then stop.  SOmehow or another we got it to open but it seemed clunky and slow but I was happy to be using it.  My folders were not all present but everytime I tried to move them from my back up drive, it would say the files were already there.  My frustration mounted but I decided to edit some photos for a wedding video that I am doing. I neede to crop some of the photos but as I was doing that, I got a message to delete files from the C drive.  Lightroom would not let me do anything else...even close it out.  We deleted files from C drive and it sorta worked but not as usual.  I thought I should go back to Catalog 13.3 and see if that would open correctly and my folders return so that I could see them.  I was (am) thinking that one issues is the catalog and the h

Hi,   I am using LR CC and I created the Smugmug connection to upload pictures.  Is there a setting to upload pictures in full res to Smugmug directly from LR CC?  My files are being being published at a much lower res.    Thanks,

Why are the 24mp files from my nikon d750 now showing as 16.1mp files in Lightroom Classic?

Bonjour, j'ai un bug avec mon Lightroom, mes fichiers sont tous présents mais je ne peux plus voir de quoi ils ont l'air sauf quand je clique dessus. Une fois cliqué, ils restent visibles, mais pas plus de 4 ou 5 fichiers à ;a fois. Quand je clque pour visualiser un autre fichier, ils se remettent en gris comme sur l'image. Quelqu'un sait ce qui se passe et comment régler ça?    [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]

Hi all,I've been using Lightroom Classic on my new PC for a while, but have the following problem:  First, everything worked fine - but soon the problems started when Lightroom wouldn't open for some time and I had to click the shortcut multiple times for it to happen. This went on for a while, but then all of a sudden, Lightroom did not open anymore at all. I would click to open it, the cursor would show a loading circle for a while and then absolutely nothing happens (in the taskmanager Lightroom is listed as a background process multiple times). I tried to reset preferences when opening with ctrl+alt, which allowed me to open one of two catalogues that I had (Catalogue A) - but it is completely empty. Then I tried to open the other one (Catalogue B) from within Lightroom and said to restart - a black pop-up would appear roughly saying "opening catalogue A.lrcat" - but it would just stay there forever and nothing happens. So I closed the software again, and re-startet again

Hello, Until now I only use the Lightroom Version. Now I want to change to Lightroom Classic. How can I export and import my own Presets to Lightroom Classic? Best regards Kim 

Lightroom Classic 12.5, Windows 11 Pro My Previews.lrdata "file" seems abnormally large. I had Lightroom delete any Smart Previews that might be lurking.  I believe it found 72, and they're gone.I did the same thing with 1:1 previews, so they're gone. A search in the previews file shows around 250,000 preview files (standard?), which is 2 - 3 times the number of images in the catalog, about 70,000 of which haven't been updated since 2020. Is there some intelligent way to remove old standard previews and other junk in the previews file rather than deleting the whole thing and making Lightroom start over?I presume Lightroom always deletes any previews associated with a file it deletes, but is there a way to check or have Lightroom check that orphan previews DON'T exist in the catalog - and delete any that are there?

Hola mi catalogo aparece como corrupto estoy usando la verdion mas nueva de lightroom classica en mac os podrian decirme que hacer 

For the last month this error is recurring with only one of my catalogues. The only solution has been reopening the catalog from a catalog backup file.Even so, some days later it happens again, and again. The other catalog I work with is fine.Can you please help me?

Hola: No se como etiquetar varias fotografías a la vez, es decir seleccionar varias y etiquetarlas con un solo toque a la etiqueta en lugar de una en una, me parece una perdida de tiempo innecesaria tener que hacerlo de una en una y seguro que hay una forma que yo no soy capaz de encontrar. Gracias

Hi Guys, Im using the latest Lightroom Classic, and I've had the same problem with tthe previous editions. When I scroll trough my images in Lightroom, either Library or Develop mode the image starts out sharp, then a second later it get a bit blurry and stays like that. When I zoom in it shows a perfectly sharp image, but when zoomed out it stays a but out of focus.  I'm using a BenQ monitor together with a MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2019) and I've had this problem for about a year, before that there were no issues. Looking forward to your tips:) Stijn  

I uploaded my photos to LR and they were fine but then I remembered I have to use LR Classic to be able to export multiple images to Photoshop for focus stacking.  So I then used the same flash card and uploaded to LR Classic but the images are blurry.  Can anyone explain this?  I wish I only had to to learn to use adobe not how to constantly fix it! 

Unable to post cropped images to IG so I have decreased the scale using the uncropped image, a white border is produced around a smaller image and am then able to successfully post to IG.  Have been doing this for years without a problem.Did this yesterday and this is what resulted. 

I lost all of my edits on images placed in my synced collections in Lightroom Classic. I've checked periodic backups going back years and none of those backups contain the edits I made. The images are there, but the edits are gone so the images just look like they did straight out of my scanner. I tried opening up other catalogs on my system (there were several catalogs, not sure if that's normal). The different catalogs had different combinations of images (some were older so didn't contain the newest ones), but none contained the edits I'd made. I know for a fact that I made these edits because I exported some of those as JPGs and I can see that they are different than the raw versions (even in the edited versions, the edits aren't saved into the file itself, so in lightroom they show up as unedited photos). I'm on the PC that I first edited the photos on and nothing about it has changed. Still the same hardware. Is there anything I'm missing here? I'm not sure what happened to my da

I see people getting similar error that duplicate files exist but I get a folder could not be created. The company I bought the presets tried helping me but they say they haven't seen this error. I looked in Camera raw folder to see if they were there. They look like they are installing and then the error pops up. I have uninstalled and installed LRclassic rebooted computer. Just at a loss and want to use my favorite presets. I did have to wipe computer and reinstall everything. I was just adding back my presets and these from archipelago are not working.

Hi y'all! Please excuse my lack of technical terminology in advance, but I'm having issues with Lightroom Classic and cannot for the life of me pinpoint the problem. Upon importing pictures from SD AND CF cards, I noticed that when clicking from the Library tab to Develop that once I clicked on an image to start editing it, a pixelated color/overlay started appearing over 70% of the image. In some cases it goes away when I click back to Library but in other cases it's stayed. I tested this on another import with other cards and the same thing happened. I also thought it could be a bug surrounding the Import button, but I clicked back on folders with pics from years ago and the same thing happens. This is still happening even after I've ensured my Mac is up to date as well as LRC with the latest version.   The images also appear fine in LRC on my *14-year-old* MacBook (... I don't even know how that thing functions, but the program and same photos are fine).   Can anyone help,

I am posting this here, but I found the issue first in Bridge and then in Lightroom, so I assume it's also an issue here, as it seems by design. And it just continues a trend which I begin to despise in Adobe.No Adobe product I have tried can write metadata directly into an JPEG XL. They all create a xmp file in the same folder instead. Once that file is deleted, the metadata is gone. But according to the file format specifications, JPEG XL does support it, of course it does. And that Adobe software does not, is not acceptable. JPEG XL is a modern file format, the successor to JPEG. It is widely superior to it, and should be fully supported. The same also applies to mp4 audio files, that Audition can't write, for whatever reason. All Adobe products seem to support Adobe's own DNG file format, which seems to actually uses some JPEG XL technology in its latest iteration. So, I am sharing this as a bug. As this should not be the case. It can't be, that we need more and more exte

After clicking the Enhance button on the Denoise pop up window, I keeep getting this message : "The file could not be written due to permission issues". I have the latest version of Lightroom Classic and it is up to date. Am using it on my Mac Mini2. I never had this problem on my PC running Windows 11.

Not sure if this is a bug or intended behavior, but, it's more than a little annoying. So, idea to change, or bug to fix: Situation: Adjusting Lens Blur settings (blur amount; focus range; brush strokes/adjustments) in Develop when "Visualize Depth" is checked. Use Command-Z to undo a change. Result: Change is indeed undone. However, Visualize Depth mode is turned off/unchecked. Expected result: Develop/Lens Blur stays in Visualize Depth mode until user explicitly unchecks "Visualize Depth." I don't understand why it would/should pop out of Visualize Depth mode when you undo a change. Odds are you're adjusting multiple things while visualizing depth and want to stay in there until you're done! --MBP 13" M1 2020; MacOS Sonoma 14.6.1; LrC 13.5.1-- This behavior does not occur in LrD 7.5; a command-Z undo of an adjustment in Visualize Depth mode leaves you in that mode as I would expect.

depuis les dernieres mises a jour , LRC est tres lent et se bloque au bout  d'un certain temps d'utilisation de meme avec photoshop ( processeur incompatible ... erreur 43 ) alors que mon pc est recent  et assez puissant, mais pas de carte graphique. intel I5  13500,  64 GO DE RAM, grand stockage  . carte mere a jour , processeur aussi pourquoi windows desactive la carte graphique du processeur    

I am using Lightroom Classic 12.4 in MacOS 12.6.6.   Since one of the more recent updates of the MacOS version of Lightroom Classic I have been have been having an issue where I will be typing text into the Library metadata fields ("title", "caption", etc.) and it will suddenly trigger some sort of lightroom keyboard shortcut and take me to a "Develop" feature I didn't mean to invoke. This is super annoying! Most recently it caused the photo whose Metadata I was editing to be hidden or moved in the Library somehow so it no longer even shows up in Lightroom search. Again, this is super annoying.   Is there a way to disable keyboard shortcuts or at least could they not be invoked when the mouse or keyboard focus is on a Library Metadata field?
