Questions

Hi, Curious as how it would be possible for several photographers and editors in a studio to collaborate in a Lightroom Classic setting. If there would be two assistant photographers and the owner, how could these get the new images into the main Lightroom environment? If they are physically on the same location I guess bringing over SD cards to the main editing computer would be possible, but could this be accomplished over the Internet somehow? Similarly, after selecting images to be edited the raw images or PSD files should be delegated to offsite editors, and then transferred back after editing. How could this be accomplished in a Lightroom Classic environment? Or, is it impossible with LrC? Could these kinds of use cases be supported by Lightroom CC? But then, I have understood that application is limited compared to classic in the organising and editing department. Or, could these two worlds somehow be combined? Rgds, Carolina   

I have made some kind of error trying to move my photos to a new Hard Drive H.  As far as I know I followed the Lightroom Queen steps but obviously not carefiully enough.  The photos are on the drive ok and I can see them in Lightroom if  I search hard enough.  At the top of the screen ADD is highlighted which I press and nothing seems to happen.  At the bottom there is Done and  Import.  I have tried Done with no apparent effect but do not press  Import as I made that mistake last time.m  I would be very grateful for any help in resolving this.  Eain

Hi. I have been using Denoise AI feature on Lightroom Classic and Lightroom. I am relatively new to this software. Since last month, Denoise AI Enhance Process is not completing and leaves no error message as well. It processes upto around 90% and suddenly stops and shows no photo displayed. However the feature continues to work in Lightroom and having issue with only Lightroom Classic. Today I did update lightroom classic and it did not solve the issue.I am using Macbook M1 Pro with MacOS 14 Can someone help me in troubleshooting this issue ? Thanks in advance System Info :Lightroom Classic version: 13.3 [ 202405092057-40441e28 ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: en-DEOperating system: Mac OS 14Version: 14.5.0 [23F79]Application architecture: arm64Logical processor count: 8Processor speed: NASqLite Version: 3.36.0Power Source: Battery, 52%Built-in memory: 16.384,0 MBDedicated GPU memory used by Lightroom: 2.232,7MB / 10.922,6MB (20%)Real memory available to L

Hi everyone, can anyone tell me what enabling the "Enable HDR in Library" tickbox does?I have been editing in HDR since the feature came out without having to explicitly enable the feature. Today when I loaded LR I got the tips dialog box and it said "In Preference dialog, go to Performance tab to enable HDR in Library." Curious, I went there, and it was unticked. And yet the HDR button was there all along above my develop sliders. So I ask, what does toggling this box actually do?! Thank you so much!

Over the last couple of years I have had experienced more and more issues with Lightroom Sync. When it worked, it might take a day or two for even a small album of 10 images to sync but it would get there eventually. After a while it would stop altogether and I would have to rebuild sync data to get it to update itself. Now I find I cant get even that to work. When I try to 'Rebuild Sync Data' it closes Lightroom (back-up already saved) and reopens immeadiately with no rebuild. I have done the usual log out/log in, click on collections and deselect. I have recently unclicked all collections but they are all still included in sync.  I have checked 'View Sync Staus' and there is nothing listed there yet, LRC is stuck trying to sync 418 images and has been for a number of days.  I am running Mac OS Sonoma v14.5, LRC v13.4 

I exported my photo's and catalogue to an extern hard disk.No problems,but the date behind the maps on the left side are greyed out.How can I fix this?

Hi! How can I update LR 6.14 (1 PC) to the Photo Abo (1 TB) How to synchronize PC with a new Laptop (cloud?), how to transfer picture files, library, presets etc. 

Hey folks!Do you have any idea as to what happened to Lightroom Classic.I used it today after a couple of months and, of course, I updated to the latest version.As soon as I open a picture, the memory usage spikes to 10Gb and it freezes even after the simplest edit.It can take even one minute to move between pictures while in development mode.So far I tried to:Update the graphic card driversSet the GPU usage on Lightroom settings to AutoCleared the cache on Lightroom Even created a brand new catalog and uploaded like 10 pictures (RAW).   As it is right now there's no way I can use it for work. And I can confirm that this never occurred to me in the past so I would think that the latest update messed things up.    I read online and it seems I'm not the online one with this issue. Is Adobe doing something about this?

Buongiorno, vi segnalo una cosa anomala. Quando vado ad importare i file, mi appaiono delle cartelle di foto private che ho cancellato e che nella cartella di riferimento non esistono più. Come posso fare  per eliminare quelle voci? Il problema è che se clicco sulle voci in questione mi si aprono le anteprime e mi da la possibilità di importarle ma io quelle foto non le ho più da nessuna parte sul mio pc!Vi allego un'immagine per provare ad essere più chiaro. 

Sonoma MacOS & Lightroom Classic (Latest Version) Recently I bought an external SSD and moved all my photos to that drive. My Catalog too.I want my LR backup to be on the external drive., I want to free up my computer from any large file systems. I do not care about having the backup and the catalog in the same drive, as it is backed up online daily. If I lose the drive, I still have online access. That drive is synced online with dropbox. Now I am trying to backup my catalog and I get this error: "Please check your folder permissions, and make sure that you have available space on  your backup drive and main catalog's drive."To make sure the external drive was not the issue, I changed my backup folder location to my laptop's SSD. I still get the same error. I  also created a new catalog and imported the old one,  still get the same error. What else can I do?

Anyone else having issues with Lightroom Classic? It suddenly changed the colors of my images, so I restarted my computer and now it will not even launch from Creative Cloud.

I am using Lightroom Classic V 13.5 and many actions ar now suddenly taking a very long time to execute, eg deleting images takes a few minutes while the system "gathers information" even changing the rating of a single image takes so much longer. this is making the software almost unusable. I have my images and catalogues on an SSD drive to speed things up and its now slower than ever. IM on a iMac i5 Quad Core with 64GB of ram. 

I use Lightroom as a catalog. All of my photos have a copyright date set as an import preset for the current year - in this case 2024. If I export a file to a new name (for example to edit in Evoto) but in the same client folder, it doesn't automatically show up in my LR catalog - of course! I have checked the exported file to see that the copyright date is still 2024. Next, I synchronize my folder to bring the exported file with the new name into the catalog. When I do that, the copyright date (in the Preset field at the top of the metadata box) is reset to 2018 instead of the original copyright date. This sure feels like a user error somehow, but I don't know where to start looking. I have checked my LR preferences and catalog settings. I initially thought it was Evoto doing it - NO. Then I thought PS was doing it - NO. Now I realize it is happening when I synchronize the folder. Any ideas what it going on and how to fix it? Thanks

It says it can't find the file when I click learn more it says to make sure the file is in the same folder which it is as seen in this screenshotWhen I click continue it pops up with thisProplem:This happend after lightroom said it had an update.If anyone has any idea how to fix this please respond!

I may remember this incorrectly. Or something changed. As I remember it, when you choose to Edit in Photoshop (from LrC), upon finishing your edits in PS, if you choose "Save As" instead of "Save", the finished photo would not import into the LrC catalog automatically. To Clarify, two workflows as I remember in the past: In LrC select a photoSelect Edit In PSAccomplish the editsIn PS select "Save"In LrC, the new image appears in the catalog or In LrC select a photoSelect Edit In PSAccomplish the editsIn PS select "Save As"In LrC, the new image does not appears in the catalog, you would need to SYNC. So, am I remembering urban folklore, or has something changed Oh, and:LrC v13.5PS 25.11.0WIN 11Files tested are Fuji RAF.PS save as TIFFCatalog and photos on local hard drives, OneDrive not used, Cloud not used.

I previously had a MacBook Air from 2013. I use Lightroom and have always had it set up with the catalog and photos on an external hard drive to save space on my internal hard drive. I recently purchased a MacBook Pro 2020 with the new m1 chip. I had seen that Adobe Lightroom was supposed to be compatible (and run native), so I assumed no issues to upgrade. Now, when I try to open my catalog on the new computer I get an error message saying "Lightroom cannot open the catalog named "xxx" located on volume "yyy" because Lightroom cannot save changes to this location." with a further message that "Lightroom Catalogs can not be opened on network volumes, removable storage, or read only volumes." Can catalogs no longer be housed on external hard drives? If so, how do you solve moving between computers? And if a catalog can still be housed on an external hard drive, any idea what my mistake is?

Mac Mini 2023 M2 chip 16GB memoryLightroom Classic 12.5 release Build [202308091523-68a7abd6] When I press \ or YY button to view the before and after changes in the develop module it shows the before with a colder white balance. This starts partway through editing my imports and even if I have not made any changes the before and after should be the same. Looking at the photo in the library you wouldn’t know that there was a problem, the photo is as expected.I edit my photos in the order they are in the folder.  The initial edited photos have the correct before, then the problem occurs and the remaining edited/unedited photos with the WB problem.  E.g. a folder of 114 images, numbers 84 to 114 affected.Also, if I edit a photo and then press \ and find that the white balance has changed and become cooler, if I then return to the after view, very occasionally, I have lost all of my edits, they have reset to 0. The history is still there so if I click on each change the set

I'm at my wits end trying to figure out why LR Classic version 13.4 keeps shutting out when I'm trying to cull my images.PC -win 10,  64 bit,  32 ramAMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor 3.80 GHz ,AMD  Radeon RX 6700 XT,   Adrenalin Edition says that my 24.7.1  driver is up to date but device manager states that it's using  windows driver 32.0.11029.1008I have rebooted my PC a number of times, uninstalled and reinstalled LR Classic but problem persists. Plenty of space on my HD"s

I‘m looking for suggestions about publishing 2,000 or more images on the web for our historical society. Our museum’s image collection has keywords from a custom controlled vocabulary which provides a great way to navigate them in Lightroom CC Classic on the desktop. This works very well for in-person visitors working with our archivist. Now we want the public to enjoy similar online web search features by exposing our keyword tags and hierarchy in the image browser. Does Adobe offer an image publishing feature for the web that shows keywords and hierarchy for navigation?What other vendors offer web image catalog products with good keyword support?I looked at candidate solutions from Adobe. As far as I can tell, Adobe Behance doesn’t show keywords and is intended for small (a few dozen) images in collections. Adobe Stock Image is good with a large number of images but they’re all in the big pool of millions of photos that are unrelated to our museum. There are uncountable WordPress plu

At work, we organize and store pictures via a Lightroom Classic catalog. The catalog is shared via a shared server, that you must connect to before accessing the images in LRC. I upload the raw photos, along with the XMP sidecar files to the Lightroom Classic catalog. On my computer, the pictures show they are edited in the previews and elsewhere. The issue is when my co-workers access the catalog and synchronize folder, the photos appear but they are not edited. Is there are reason the XMPs are not syncing to their computers? Is there an extra step I have to do? Or is this not an LRC problem, but rather a server issue? I'm using a Mac, and so is one other coworker. The other is using Windows. Hopefully, this makes sense. I'm rather new to this job and have not used Lightroom Classic as a catalog before.

I have been using Lightroom for a while so this is a new issue. When I now go into Library to review my photos, they are all there but all grayed out. I followed the 'Color Management' process to make sure default is RGB, but the problem did not go away. Any ideas what it could be and how to fix it? The strange thing is that when I go into Develop, the images are still grayed out but when I click on one, that one will show also temporarily in the thumbnails and on the bigger window. When I click on another image, the thumbnail of the previous imagine becomes grayed out again. Help!
