Questions

Hi,after the latest update to v15 of LR for Windows, the behaviour of the cropping tool changed. It's really annoying: It is very difficult to create a selection in portrait format with the mouse in this case. Simply dragging diagonally downwards is no longer sufficient – see my screen video here:https://youtu.be/NYfgYOV3IXE Any idea to get back the old behaviour – not by using the previous version of LR 😉 Thanks!mycc

This problem hasn't been resolved for years. Can anyone help me? My patience with Adobe is running out. It seems like a very serious problem. Every time I launch export, Lightroom Classic gets stuck at about 15%.

Hi Lightroom Classic Community, I have trouble using the AI denoise function. I don’t get any errors when the denoise box is checked, but I also don’t yeld any changes even when the slider is at 100. What am I doing wrong? 

I use a Macbook Pro. I import from a folder on my Macbook into Lightroom Classic. While editing I want to discard some photos from Lightroom but also from my Macbook . The option is there to delete from Lightroom AND my laptop but it doesn’t delete the file from my laptop. It used to do on earlier versions of Lightroom (which I know not) but it hasn’t done for quite a while. What I have to do now ouside Lightroom is go into my laptop and delete to unwanted photo files.

I recently went from using Lightroom Classic on a PC to using on a MAC. I had no issues with the PC. On the MAC with the same library I get "Photo merge error unable to merge photos. Failed to import the final merged result". The message pops up everytime I try to merge any photos. All my photos are RAW. Please help.

LrC无法正确实识别显卡的存在，且在处理图像的过程中，主要工作的是CPU，在进行去杂色的时候，也是CPU为主要负载，GPU没有负载，在Intel Arc显卡的老驱动中不存在这个问题，但是新驱动存在这个问题，那边已经进行排查发现没有问题，一个是Adobe这边没有进行适配。

For years I’m using a LR Catalog located somewhere under c:\MyLightroomCatalog … since an update or so, LR now always starts with an empty catalog from C:\Users … despite I load the correct catalog - close LR - start again and it opens the empty one from its default location.How can I fix this bug and force LR always to open the correct / only one / last one catalog like the decades before?

I have already cancelled my subscription but they have charged me for that still. I need a refund.

When I load LrC select subject and object masking does not work at all so I have to open the image as a smart object in PS and use ACR where it works just fine. The next time I load LrC masking works again but only until I exit, then it will fail again the next time and I will have to do the masking in PS again. When it fails it doesn’t even try to find anything,  I just draw the shape and then nothing happens. Any ideas? It seems pretty strange and only started happening after the last LrC update. The things I’m trying to select are very obvious and ACR in PS has zero issues with it but I would like to do it in LrC most of the time. Thanks in advance.

Previously when in soft proofing mode in the Develop tab when I started to make any adjustment to an image an automatic pop-up would appear asking me if I would like to make a proof copy.This no longer happens, and now if I want to create a proof copy I have to click the Create Proof Copy button under the histogram in the top right.I don’t know when this stopped working or if it was following a version update.I have checked and done all the following to try and fix this:definitely not working already on a copy the Reset all warning dialogs in Preferences is greyed out suggesting there are no prompts to reset reset preferences by removing preference file from foldersAny other suggestions greatly appreciated for how I can get this auto prompt back. 

This is the screenshot…  … anyone else get this?

Major malfunction with Lightroom Classic:I tried to Import (Copy) about 20 images from my CF Express card to my local SSD - exactly as I always do.The Import dialog window gets stuck with no progress and never ends, for a task that should take a few seconds. In the Import dialog window, the image thumbnails don't render any images and display only as grey boxes. I Forced Quit, ejected the card, restarted my Mac, reinserted the card and from Finder I dragged (copied) the images into my Users > Pictures folder on my local SSD. No problem. Relaunched LrC and ran the Import process again, and again the same issue. Forced Quit again and restarted my Mac. Again, I tried to Import (Add) but again had to Force Quit when the Import dialog window got stuck. I restarted my Mac again. Tried Library > Synchronise Folder but it just froze and I had to Force Quit.When I cancel the Import process, I get a dialog box saying "no photos or videos were found to import" even though they’re on my loca

My lightroom classic crashed. I restarted my computer and when it opened back up it said my catlog was corrupt and I can not get it to open. So I followed online advice to move it out of the folder and then create a new one, but now all of my existing work is gone. 

Thanks in advance but I am flustered.  I have a Macbook for travel and a desktop PC for home.  Recently cam home with about 950 images edited on the road with LR Classic.  Tried to import this a few times into the catalog into my desktop.  Each time, after hours of seeming to imp rt (scrollbar SLOWLY moves), get an error message and task is not successful.  So then, I tried to export the laptop catalog to the external HDD without “negatives” and previews.  The catalog moved to my external HDD.  But, when I open it, all the images are greyed out.  If I open an item under the develop module, it appears (complete with metadata and edits), but the disappears if another image is then opened.  I don’t deem sable to get this catalog in a working state to the external HDD so I can move it to the desktop PC. Pertinent information…...folder exported to external HDD contains folder with images and .xmp files, {XXX Helper.lrdata}, {XXX.lrcat}, {XXX.lrcat-data}, {XXX Previews.lrdata}, and 3 files I

Merhaba,Lightroom kullanıcıları olarak uzun süredir Türkiye’de ve Türkçe konuşan pazarda bu ürünleri aktif olarak kullanıyoruz. Lightroom iPad ve iPhone uygulamalarında Türkçe arayüz desteğinin olması harika, ancak Lightroom Classic ve Lightroom masaüstü sürümlerinde Türkçe dil desteği olmaması, erişilebilirlik ve verimlilik açısından önemli bir eksiklik yaratıyor.Türkçe arayüz desteği olması şu açılardan çok değerli olur:• Profesyonel kullanıcılar için yerel dilde netlik ve hız: Özellikle katalog, koleksiyon, metadata, senkronizasyon gibi teknik terimlerin yerel dilde olması, Lightroom Classic kullanıcılarının iş akışlarını ciddi biçimde etkiler.• Erişilebilirlik ve öğrenme eğrisi: Türkçe dil desteği olmayan bir arayüz, ürünün öğrenilmesini ve verimli kullanılmasını zorlaştırıyor.• Eşit kullanıcı deneyimi: Mobilde Türkçe desteğin varken masaüstünde olmaması, kullanıcı deneyiminde tutarsızlık yaratıyor.Bu konuda bir Türkçe arayüz seçeneğinin eklenmesi, ürünün Türkiye ve Türkçe konuşan

I am SO ANNOYED at why This happens EVERY YEAR.  I have spent well over $100 on various USB-C Cables, some work for a bit some don't.  The ones that worked well for a while were designed for the Oculus Headset, so they were high speed.  Most Generic USB-C v3.1 / v3.2 cables will detect the camera on your computer, but then NOT WORK with Lightroom classic. My Setup #1 - MacBook M1 Pro (16gb / 1tb), Running Tahoe v26.0.1LrC v15.1 Camera RAW v18.1Cable #1 USB v3.1 designed for Oculus Headset- This worked Briefly with my Canon R6 mkii (mark 2), then fails at random under LrC- Sketch...

Hola, porque lightroom no me crea los archivos XMP de cada imagen pese a estar puesto que lo haga en las configuración? tampoco lo hace si presion CTROL + S, me crea los cuatro primeros archivos y luego se queda colgado… y aqui se queda sin hacer nada…  

Hello,As many of you probably already know, there are major VRAM issues with the AI features in Lightroom, especially when using AI masking. The VRAM gets completely saturated and never properly frees up afterward. I’ve personally been dealing with this for three or four years now, and honestly, it’s making my life miserable. It’s seriously affecting my work. I do everything I can to keep things running properly: all drivers are up to date, I rebuild catalogs regularly, etc. But this is a problem I’ve been investigating for years at this point, and it’s becoming unbearable. So here’s my question:Right now, I have an NVIDIA RTX 4060 with 8GB of VRAM. Would it actually be worth upgrading to an AMD RX 9060 with 16GB of VRAM? Or am I still going to experience the exact same issues?I’m asking because I already upgraded my GPU two years ago, going from 4GB to 8GB VRAM, and in the end the problem basically stayed the same. I’m even seeing people with 24GB cards reporting similar issues. So in

I accidentally denoised a large number of photos in Lightroom Classic 15.3. Unfortunately Lightroom Classic stores the denoise data in the catalog blobs, so my catalog size on the disk skyrocketed.I unchecked denoise on the raw files and optimized the catalog, but it didn’t remove the denoise data from the catalog.How can I get rid of the denoise data to reduce the catalog size?Thanks-Lajos

My Lightroom classic catalogue file has completely disappeared, file cannot be found, and all of the backups I have (on various devices) are not working. They are saying that the file is not writable and cannot be opened. Lightroom is working as I opened an old catalogue to test. It is this specific catalogue, and every single backup of it that I have that isnt there/wont open.This catalogue opened fine quite literally twenty minutes ago. I was getting a lot of lag while waiting for a mask to load (this is normal, my computer is slow), so I closed lightroom. When I went back into the folder to open the file, it was not there, and all of the backups weren’t working.I have: restarted my computer, scanned my drive for corruption, logged in/out of creative cloud.Images below show what is happening perhaps better than I can explain.Is it just better to create a new catalogue and import everything again? I have most RAW files still.  

I do get massive artefacts (blue areas of rectangular shapes) when developing or exporting large DNGs with complex image processing (i.e. various AI functions applied) on my Apple M2 and Apple M4 Max machines (tested on both laptop and latest MacStudio M4). They disappear when turning of the graphics processor in Lightroom presets.Apple M4 Max, 64 GB Ram, macOS Tahoe 26.5Apple M2, 24 GB Ram, macOS Tahoe 26.5Blue artefacts show both in Library and Develop views, but with different shapes. In develop modules, they sometimes disappear after a minute (some internal refresh?), but unfortunately not all of them. The concerned images do have smart previews and are using virtual copies. They are based on compressed DNGs generated with DXOPureRaw v6 (from Nikon Z8 full resolution NEFs).I am running Excire Search 2026 v5 (latest) as a plugin in Lightroom.Unfortunately the blue areas are also showing in the exported files for printing.Please help as I am stuck now in my workflow...
