Questions

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!

I've recently purchased a new Copilot+/Snapdragon X Elite laptop, and running Lightroom Classic via the 'copy/transfer' workaround method that many other users have suggested, in order to circumvent the lack of native availability on these devices.  At first all was working well, now I'm noticing certain AI features aren't working consistently. Masking in particular is being painful; it will work on some images, but not in others in the same gallery. I've not encountered this when I was using LRC on my previous device. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Recently upon launching Lightroom Classic, I received a message saying my catalog was corrupt. I initiated the repair process, which it completed, and upon launching Lightroom Classic afterward, all of my files are in a random order when I try to sort by "capture time", most of the previews no longer show, and the metadata doesn't show in the metadata tab. As you can see from the screenshot, there appears to be a date below the files, but not on the right side in the metadata tab. Also a lot of photos that were shot vertically are appearing horizontally.   Any tips on how to correct this?     [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.

I have used an external harddrive in the past to store my photos. When I go to import now from it, it won't show ANY of the folders. I know it has at one point because my library has the harddrive listed with other folders that have been imported in the past. Lightroom is recognizing the harddrive and that it's connected (because it shows it as an option in the import panel). But it just says "no photos found." As you can see, it show the harddrive, and it's expanded to show subfolders, but no subfolders are showing. (And yes, I have tried with the "show subfolders" box clicked too.) I am using a MacBook pro 2019, Ventury 13.6.9 Any ideas?

For some reason I can no longer advance the selected image from the film strip by pressing the left or right arrows.  I thought I had a defective keyboard (after a small coffee spill) so I replaced the keyboard but to no avail.  Hopefully someone can help me resolve.  The up and down arrows do work in the G view mode but no lateral movement with the L R arrows.

When I begin a new book project I generally dublicate an existing book, select it as the Target collection and then remove all the photographs from the filmstrip before adding new ones. This use to work fine but I have noticed that now when I do the same process  and subsequently change the layout of a page that the original photos reappear. I then have to remove these photos from the target collection again. This does not impede the creation of my book but is slightly annoying!  Any solutions?   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.

LRC stopped opening all of a sudden on laptop with windows 11. I was running v13.4 and reinstalled and still wouldn't open. It shows up in task manager only. I deleted again and installed the earlier version and it worked fine for a month the there was an update to windows 11 and it repeated the same problem. I deleted and reintalled the last three versions and LRC still won't open, only shows up in task manager. I've read some of the fixes and tried looking for the cache file metrics. json to delete it like suggested and its not there.Thanks in advance for any ideas you can offer

I have a Mac Studio with the latest OS and Lightroom version along with the up to date camera raw version. I recently purchased a Lecia SL3 and the profile doens't show up when importing a DNG. I see my Leica M11 profile show up but for some reason the Leica SL3 does not. After talking to Adobe Support they say the Leica SL3 profile is not in the application. How does one import the camera profile? 

My current catalogue is using 41GB of RAM, which is larger than the amount of disk space the catalogue is using.  Is this a bug?  It's soooOOOOOooooo slow I cannot do any work.What's it trying to do? Is it loading all the photos into RAM? Or is Adobe scanning them all and stealing them for their Firefly?I reset Lightroom, tried it without GPU, but Lightroom Classic 13.5 is making my life a misery.  I done with this nonesense.System Specs:Threadripper Pro 3975WX 256GB RAM Nivida RTX A6000 Windows 11 Pro 8 x 1TB nvme M.2 drives - One for system and software, one for projects, a few for media files and exporting locations and one dedicated entirely to cache folders for all the software.😞

Greetings, Using LRC on my desktop computer, I store my images in external hard drives connected directly to my computer through a switchable hub that allows me to turn on the specific hard drives I am working with.  When everything is working, they appear as folders in LRC as Vol2, Vol3, etc with the appropriate subfolder structure for each external hard drive.  I also back up LRC each time I exit as a safety precaution and periodically, I delete old backup folders because they occupy so much memory.  I delete all but about 5 or 6 of them while LRC is running and upon exiting, I create a backup. Over the past month or so, subfolders of Vol2 would show subfolders of a different drive and all of the subfolders are grayed out, e.g. Vol5.  At the same time, the same issue would appear at other folders/subfolders and all of the folders would be grayed out.  Sometimes when this problem appears, one of the external hard drives does not appear in the list of

Adjusting any slider in the Basic panel in Develop will update the process version to PV6. I suspect this is a bug, but perhaps it's the intended behavior. I understand that this probably affects exactly zero users in normal use. To reproduce:(1) select a single photo in Develop and reset it(2) in the Calibration panel, set the Process to Version 5, 4, or 3(3) Adjust any slider in the Basic panel (exposure, contrast, etc.)(4) See tht the Process has reverted to Version 6 I'm using LrC 13.5 on MacOS Sonoma 14.6.1.

I messed up.  I accidentally deleted over a thousand photos from flickr, and have 572 more photos in a group marked "Deleted photos to remove" that I *DO NOT* want to remove from Flickr.I know there's nothing I can do from within Flickr, but after reading through all of the answers in the Adobe forum, I'm not sure if there's any hope for fixing things or escaping more damage through Lightroom.Here's what happened:I edited about 50 or so photos in LR and prepared to publish them in flickr.  I have only one publish service for flickr in Lightroom, named "Photostream". About half of over 10,000 photos in my flickr photostream were published through Lightroom, the other half through other methods. When I dragged the 50 photos into my "photostream" publish service in LR, I noticed that there were over 1,500 photos in a group marked "Modified photos to re-publish".  Not sure why they were there, since I didn't make any modifications. I did not want to re-publish, and couldn't

Hello, 2 questions :  1/ When you transfert a Collection from LightRoom to Porfolio, how can you make sure that the target will use the personalized order of Lightroom and not the capture date? It drive me crazy as once tranfered, I need to change again all the order of my photos in Porfolio 😞 2/ Is it possible to move multiple photos in once when you want to change the order of the photos in the grid 3/ How can you change the cover image of a Portfolio collection. It always take the first one. 

Je suis sous Mac OS Sonoma v14.6.1 mon Lightroom plante régulièrement, impossible de l'ouvrir.

Avez-vous une solution?

Hi, I've used Lightroom 9.4 for work for years and after upgrading the drive of my Mac (HDD to SSD, upgraded from Mojave to Ventura), I've had to reinstall all of my programs. I've tried the latest Lightroom, as well as Lightroom 10, and they've been incredibly slow and ruined my workflow. This is my livelihood and I'm desperate for any version of Lightroom 9. I've contacted customer care and they suggested that I ask here. Please help me figure out what to do.

Hello! I am exporting a photo and noticed that after export, the black portion of the photo has blue grain. This blue grain does not appear in LR itself before export, and am wondering how to fix this issue? I used various brush tools in those areas so maybe that has something to do with it? Not sure as to what could be the cause. Thank you!

Hi I got a pretty weird issue, hoping it has an easy fix. When i open lightroom in develop mode, i can browse my pictures with the arrow keys on my keyboard(PC). But if i go to library and back to develop, they do not work if i copy develop settings, or delete an image. Then i have to select the next picture with my mouse. This slows my workflow down A LOT. So every time i visit my library and go back to develop, i must close LR and open it again. The same problem on both my laptop and desktop. Tried all general solutions like reinstalling, updating etc.Thanks in advance

LrC Library 和 Develop 中显示的图像在颜色、对比度等方面不一致 重新安装 Win10 并更新使用 Lightroom Classic 后，我发现将图像导入 lrc 后，库中显示的图像与修改后的照片中显示的图像不匹配。 我从帮助中了解到“库模块和第二个窗口使用与修改照片模块不同的颜色空间和渲染图像预览的方法。 但是，在查看升级后的系统和软件之前导入的图像显示相同，这与Adobe帮助中描述的不同，您能否请帮我解决这个问题？   （1）升级前进口。显示一致且正常。（2）升级换代后进口。显示不一致。

Hi all, I have created camera profiles with color checker software for all of my Sony, Canon and DJI cameras. For the DJI Mavic 3 Pro, that's three profiles, one for each lens. These profiles have worked fine for me, but since a few months, the one for the 24mm lens on the Mavic 3 Pro has no longer been showing in Lightroom when I am working on a DNG taken with that lens. The ones for the 3x and 7x are showing with their respective DNG files. The .dcp files are all visible in the Application Support>Adobe>Camera RAW>Camera Profiles folder, but somehow it just does not want to work. I tried to delete and create a new profile, but when I want to import it, Lightroom tells me that it cannot be imported since it is already imported. This problem only occurs with the DNG's taken with the 24mm lens on the drone., only this profile cannot be found or imported.What worked for me a while back was degrading the ACR plug-in, so it appears the problem lies within an update to AC

Is there a way to recover your quick collection if you accidentally cleared it? I store a lot of photos I'm currently working on within my Quick Collection, but I mistakenly hit the hot key I think and I've done too many actions since hitting it and can no longer just Undo to get it back. PLEASE let me know if you have a fix

Hey everyone!I have an issue with the AI denoise in Lightroom where on every single image that I denoise, it creates these big white (purple hue) squares all over my image. It doesnt matter what gallery I am in or how much / how little I denoise the image, it just adds these blocks to my photos. I updated Lightroom yesterday and it's only been an issue since then.I've looked all over to try and find a fix to this issue and nothing. I've attached an image to try and give an idea of what is happening. I hope someone has an answer for me! Thanks so much! 

 Can someone please explain why every time I select a preset to use on my photos on Lightroom Classic, that it can't apply to the photo? It just says, "Some masking models failed to download. Please try again later." I posted the picture above. I am using a Lenovo RYZEN 4000 series 7

Hi all,  My lightroom classic catalog has run into some major issues and im hoping to find a way to fix it ASAP.  My lightroom has of the past few months started to run slow. I know my laptop is old but I was not able to update my computer at this moment. For the most part I could deal with it lagging a bit because it wasnt major and there was never any issues that was concerning. Recently I imported photos in, added it to a collection and started to rate them. I noticed as I was rating them 1 star or changing some back to 0 rating. It wouldn't take away the 1 star. I didnt think much of it because when I do a second round of selecting it would go away. When I clicked on the fliters section to see all of the photos I rated 1 star it woudn't show me and said there were no photos in this collection even though on the side it showed 258 images in the collection. Additionally the "previously imported" section also said 258 photos and when I clicked on that it said
