Seit dem Update von Lightroom Classic auf Windows 11 wird beim KI-Entrauschen keine neue -Verbessert-NR.dng mehr im Ordner erstellt. Der Entrauschungsvorgang läuft scheinbar durch, aber das Ergebnis wird nicht persistent gespeichert. Beim anschließenden HDR-Zusammenfügen werden wieder die ursprünglichen RAW-Daten verwendet, wodurch das Rauschen zurückkehrt. Früher funktionierte der Workflow korrekt: RAW entrauschen → neue DNG-Dateien entstehen → HDR aus den neuen DNGs erzeugen. Getestet mit DNG- und TIFF-Export, Neuimport der RAWs und erneutem Laden; das Verhalten bleibt unverändert.

Hi Community,I’m experiencing severe performance issues with Lightroom. The app is extremely slow, barely usable, while all other Adobe Suite apps run smoothly on my system.I’ve tried restarting the app, change settings, edit on my SSD but the issue persists. I haven’t made any recent changes to my setup that would explain this. I use Windows 11, release 15.2.1 and Camera Raw 18.2.2Does anyone have suggestions on how to resolve this?Thanks in advance for your help!

I want to just open adobe lightroom but it take me through the creative cloud and then it looks weird and not what it used to be before it got deleted. I want to just open my lightroom but i can’t and it looks the mobile version, i’m on windows 11 PC. I’ve linked an image as to what i have to open to get to lightroom and i don’t want to do that.  

Lightroom Classic v 15.4 backup attempt results in progress reporter showing “Checking catalog integrity → Copying catalog → Compressing catalog backup,” then reports “Lightroom was unable to back up the catalog named “Lr6 Catalog-v15-4”.  Please check your folder permissions, and make sure that you have available space on your backup drive and main catalog’s drive.”Lightroom has full disc access and backup folder is specifically set to “read & write” for all users.  The backup generator writes a folder named for the backup date into the Lightroom “Backups” folder, but that dated folder remains empty.System specs:  iMac Pro (2017) OS Sequoia 15.7.7, with Mac SSD 2 TB with 790 GB available (far more than the size of a catalog).  Chosing a different folder at parent level produces same result.  Restarting Lightroom produces same result.  Restarting iMac and Lightroom produces same result.  Lightroom restarts and functions (for now), but I am unable to back up my catalog. Thanks for a

it says “Adobe Lightroom Classic” is damaged and can’t be opened. The file was downloaded on an unknown date...

Even submitting this report has a problems. The category selection is organized weird as well. The Denoise function in Lightroom classic constantly need to be updated and never actually updates. The image never stays denoised. It just keeps asking the user to update and fails without notification of it. It just prompts you to update the denoise function again.

I import CR3 files in daily directories into my catalog. I process the CR3 files then export them converting them to JPG I then import the JPG files to put back into the daily directory they came from and to keyword them. The counters on all the directories are set to zero after this import. I have to exit and restart Lightroom to get the counters reset to their actual number of files in each folder. If I delete the CR3's as no longer necessary the counter goes negative by the number of photos removed.

I’ve already tried every option to improve or fix the slowness in Lightroom’s Develop module. Nothing worked—nothing at all—except downgrading to an earlier version (but that’s absurd; I pay to have the best).

Suelo trabajar con un ajuste general a todas las fotos y luego repaso una x una en caso de necesitar algo más.El caso es que a veces uso la herramienta quitar (con IA) o bien, algún preset que contiene alguna máscara.El problema ha empezado cuando le he dado a quitar ruido (y no funcionaba) he actualizado lightroom y ha funcionado. Pero a partir de ahí, cada vez que copio una foto que tiene la herramienta quitar o el preset con máscara, se convierte en una odisea, y me sale en el cuadro de ajustes esto: “El procesamiento de IA está en curso para esta foto.La edición no está disponible temporalmente.”Insisto, hace 4 fotos no me pasaba. Y no sé que hacer. Es muy desesperante.

I’d love to see Adobe introduce AI-powered keywording in Lightroom. With several AI features already added, AI keyword generation feels like the next logical step.I have a relatively small catalog of around 8,000 images, yet keywording is still by far the most time-consuming part of my workflow. I haven’t found another Lightroom task that takes as much time and effort.An AI feature that could automatically suggest accurate keywords would make organising photo libraries much more efficient, allowing photographers to spend less time managing catalogs and more time editing, sharing, and enjoying their images.Is AI keywording something Adobe is actively considering for a future release? I’m sure many Lightroom users would find it a valuable addition.

LR Classic not opening. Macbook Pro, Tahoe 26.6. I have tried various options, including reinstalling the software and restarting the app, testing catalog integrity etc. Any suggestions?

I have a new laptop which I have installed my creative cloud elements. I can open a verson of Lightroom but cannot open Lightroom classic. 

I am having a hard time understanding editing off of a hard drive. I understand smart previews and how it generally works (all on LrC), but I don't understand the importing process. When I got the photos I wanted to import off of the folder on my hard drive, I just clicked import. Am I supposed to be doing something with the "add" button? Also, I'm not understanding collections. Are they a good equivalent to albums? And should I even use them if I have the folder connected to LrC through my hard drive? How do I move the photos to a collection if needed? Will storage be used if collections are used? For reference, I am a portrait photographer editing/culling about 600 photos and delivering galleries of about 100.

I have been using Lightroom AI Denoise for years. I haven't changed cameras, have not updated my camera, and have not changed RAW settings on my camera. All of a sudden AI Denoise no longer works. 

Lightroom Classic 15.4.1 always quit unexpectedly under MacOS Tahoe 26.6 beta when using Silver Efex Pro 3.0 plug in

When I switch to the developement modul, the warning sign in the thumbnails don’t show anymore. When I switch back to Bibliothek, they show again.How can I get rid of the red symbol with the white "X" on my thumbnails in the bibliothec modul? All pictures are correctly connected on the hard drive; lightroom can show them in the finder. Is it a problem with the new analyzing tool? 

LRC v15.4.1 will not open. I do not want to open a catalogue, just the LRC app.  I get a message that an earlier version (loaded on an old computer that is no longer accessible) Lightroom Catalog-2-2-v13-4 is corrupt.

Since the recent updates I have intermittently experienced a number of issues when using Lightroom Classic 15.4.1 on a Windows 11 PC (System info below):program crashed on one or two occasions; program switches from Develop to Library mode by itself;  clipping indicators show in green rather than red;  ‘Before’ image does not appear when selecting Before / After; Masking fails to find landscape features, subject or object and pop-out closes; Adaptive colour profile does not work.None of these issues were present before the update, and I tried the masking in Lightroom (desktop) without problems on an image where LR Classic failed to find the subject or landscape features. I have tried switching between ‘use graphics processor’ and ‘off’ but it does not seem to make a consistent difference - sometimes things work as expected, the next time they don’t.Lightroom Classic version: 15.4.1 [ 202606201310-b9f148a4 ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: enOperating system: Windows 11 - Busine

Lightroom Classic renders local Radial Gradient masks differently in Develop vs Library/Export Hi,I have a reproducible issue in Lightroom Classic that started after moving to a new computer.My workflow relies on presets containing local Radial Gradient masks.On certain photos (not all), the image looks correct in the Develop module, where the Radial Gradient is applied properly.However, when I switch to the Library module, the image immediately becomes darker, as if the Radial Gradient mask is no longer being applied.The exported JPEG matches the Library module, not the Develop module.I have already tried:* Updating Lightroom Classic to version 15.4.1* Rebuilding previews* Disabling GPU acceleration* Creating new previews* Testing on multiple imagesAdditional findings:* The issue only happens on certain photos.* It is related to local Radial Gradient masks.* Creating a completely new Radial Gradient on a different image works correctly.* Saving the problematic edit as a preset reprodu

Hello,my interface menu (font size) are so small that I cannot read the menus.How can I change this?  I am on a MS surface PC.

This has just started happening !  LRc version 15.4.1  PS Version 27.8.0When I select A RAW file (Sony ARW), and edit in Photoshop the resulting PSD file has the creation date aet to the date/time of editing and appears out of sync in the Lightroom develop module as a result. This is very annoying since it results in the original file and the edit PSD not appearing next to each other when the images are sorted by creation date. THIS IS VERY ANNOYING and has only just started to happen - it didn’t used to be like this - the creation date of the image in the ARW and PSD files used to be the same with the PSD adopting the the creation date of the RAW file.The image below shows what I mean - the image shot on 24/07/2026 - the psd fille has a creation date of 25/07/2026 - which is when the image was edited, not when it was created. If I look a at some images from just a month or so ago this did not happen the image below shows an image taken on 01/05/2026 and edited a few days later - the o

I've always had issues going back and forth with clients on proofing — Lightroom's own Web Gallery never quite cut it for this, so I'd end up just sending a folder of images, they reply "I love these three, hate that one, and can we lighten this one up a bit," then I'm cross-referencing that back into Lightroom by hand.Built a plugin that fixes it for myself: it generates a self-contained HTML gallery straight from Lightroom, the client stars favorites and leaves notes right in it, sends back a small file, and it re-imports the ratings/notes straight into LR.Cleaned it up enough that I put it up for sale (ProofingGallery, $29.95 one-time, not a subscription — enginecollective.studio/proofinggallery) but honestly just want to know if it's useful outside my own workflow. I've got 2-3 free licenses if anyone's interested in trying it out and sharing their thoughts.

Windows 11, latest Nvidia studio driver, latest Lightroom Classic version. AMD 5800X, Nvidia 4070TI. The program has started to hang on launch. It launches as a background app in Windows task manager, and next to whatever Catalog I have asked it to open it will create the usual companion files:CatalogName.lrcat-shm CatalogName.lrcat-wal CatalogName.lrcat-lock Nothing happens no matter how long I leave it. I have to kill the task, and those 3 files remain. Even though I have Lightroom set to prompt me to select a catalog every time it starts up, no matter what I try it keeps trying to open the catalog it failed to open every time it starts, even if I start it by clicking and entirely different .lrcat file.The *only* way to get the program to launch at all - even after rebooting Windows - is to remove/rename the .lrcat file it is looking for, and then it will start as normal, get to the splash screen, and create a new empty catalog with CatalogName.lrcat.  From there, I can get the progr

I have LR 15.4.1 and get frequent catalog corruption when LR locks up. The problem existed in 15.3 so it is not related to the 15.4.1 update.If I have background AI updates active then there is a good chance that LR will just freeze. I have no option except to end task. And after this point I have seen the corruption. So now I backup 3 or 4 times per day so I don't loose too many edits. On relaunch of LR, there is no UI. the all sits around 5% CPU and just a few hundred MB of memory use.The lockup does not always happen - I could update a batch of mages (select images, CTRL+ALT+U) to refresh AI info such as masks or denoise… and this could work fine for 20 images, or lock up for just 2 images.
