Have been noticing since installing LRC 13.4, performance on my M1 iMac is very slow and now is causing serious crashes.   HW: iMac M1, 8GB RAM, LR catalog lives on an external M.2 drive.  Been using this drive and hardware for several years without a problem.  Disk Utulity shows external drive is fine. I have a large catalog (~2,5TB) setup on the M.2 with 1 folder per year, and subfolders using the YYYYMMDD_TITLE format. Since installing 14.6.1 yesterday, I tried to access a 2019 folder.  LR indicates there is noting there and I get a spinning beachball.  In a minute or two, LR crashes AND I get a notification that the external droive has been ejected.  My iMac requires a reboot for the M.2 drive to be recognized agaion. Acccessing the past couple of jobs/subfolders in the 2024 folder on the M.2 is OK ... slow ... but no crash. I can access the entire M.2 drive through Finder, and with other image programs such as NX Studio (Nikon

I am experiencing the spinning wheel every time I try to export a photo from Lightroom. This wasn't a problem until I loaded some presets. Now I'm not sure how to save my work or fix the issue. Does anyone have any ideas?  Thank you in advance!

Hi guys,My camera always sees my Extreme Pro Sandisk 128 GB memory card. My LRC on the other hand ... not always; it sometimes takes cajoling. Is it a matter of aging copper contacts (or whatever they are called)? Or is it jut dirt?  Any ideas?  Thanks a lot.

Hello! One of the files in my LRCC catalog on macOS ("lightroom catalog-v13 previews.lrdata") is very large, already over 25GB, and I don't have many photos, around 1,000 to 1,500 RAW files. In creativecloud I have about 5GB occupied. It seems that this file increases in size exponentially. Does anyone know if this really works?   [Moved to Lightroom Classic forum by moderator, according to forum rules. This is about Lightroom Classic after all]

How do I get lightroom to run on Widows 11? The error is 0x8007016A which deals with Onedrive, I tried what was suggested which was to remove the CURRENT file. I can't remove it but I can rename it, but when I try to run the program it just recreates the file and I get the error again.   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.

When I try to start Lightroom Classic, it won't open and only loads for a bit. And when I look on task manager it doesn't show that it has started.   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules. A ‘bug’ is not just another word for any problem with software!]

So, I now have LrC v13.5. Fine, but I do not see any mention of that in the community, Nothing in Announcements. And via a Google search, nothing in any Adobe Page, or anywhere else. (/edit/ see followup bellow)    And, as visible in the first screenshot, an update to Lr, and to ACR. No v7.5 in Lr Community Announcements, no ACR v16.5 in Camera RAW Community .Announcements Does anyone have a link to what is new and bug fixes yet? Note that YES, in LrC I can click on /Help/Whats New../ and I can see this: And in that screen, if I scroll down I can see a link like: But clicking on that link yields v13.4 info. _______________________________________________________ Followup If when you use Google to search on Lightroom Classic v13.5, and select via Tools to look at last 24 hours, at least one link shows up (so far only Link I have found) https://gregbenzphotography.com/other/lightroom-expands-support-for-hdr-display/ And now

Bonjour à toutes et tous,Lors de de la fusion d'un panorama ou de photos HDR, l'image finale ce retrouve dans un dossier à part de celui de départ, alors que mes photos sont bien dans le même dossier, et si je coche de créer un pile une fenêtre s'ouvre m'indiquant " Les plies ne peuvent pas contenir des photos stockées dans des dossiers différents" alors que toutes les photos comme je l'écris plus haut  sont dans le même dossier.Je ne comprend pas pourquoi le panorama ou la fusion HDR ce retrouve dans un dossier à part a lors que dans mon finder la photo est bien dans le même dossier.Je suis sur Mac OS Ventura la dernière version ansi que LRC.Y a t'il un paramêtre afin que le panorama ou la fusion reste dans le dossier d'origine dans l'explorateur de LRC ?Merci à toutes et tous de votre aide.

Today I used Generative Remove AI in Lightroom for the very first time. Nevertheless I have now encountered a problem. Since then, every time I click the Erasure Tool button my photo changes from color to black and white. Does anybody have an idea what's going wrong? Why can I no longer edit the photo in color (the problem occurs both in Generative Remove AI and in the old situation as I was used to). In short, when I click the Erasure Tool button the photo immediately changes from color to black and white. Thank you very much for your cooperation!!

Hi everybody, I'm a Lightroom user with a MacBook Pro 2,3 GHz i9 8 Core Cpu and 16 Gb Ram. I'm experiencing a very high usage of CPU and RAM even if I'm just scrolling through the gallery (like 160%), and if I edit some images, sometimes I get that my photos appear to be glitched, with red and green stripes on them, but only the photos, not the entire screen. Any ideas on what could it be?   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules. A ‘bug’ is not just another word for any problem with software!]

HiI recently edited some headshots in photoshop using the raw sony files I had everything set to SRGB. Im using a Dell Monitor which is set to display as SRGB and my macbook pro which I also have set to SRGB display. Both macbook and monitor image looks the same.When I import the file into lightroom for the final colour edit changes it to looks the same and I have set the export as jpeg/SRGB. On my monitor and macbook my picture looks as intended the issue is when I open the same picture file on several of my phones the image is completely over saturated and the image is ruined.My understanding was setting everything to srgb was the safest way to export images to be viewed on multiple devices. But this is not the case for me or am I do something wrong? I sent the files via we transfer for the client to look at which she downloaded via her phone and the same issue happened she appeared way to saturated in the images. How can I fix this?

Hello, I have several photos in Lightroom Classic with only the smart preview downloaded even though the original exists in the cloud. Is it somehow possible to force LrC to redownload those pictures or to reset a collection to download the images again? Thank you!

I ht Auto in the develop module and it takes several seconds before anything happens.  I hit R to go into crop mode - same thing. I am on an M1 Macbook pro with 64GB of memory.  This has never happened before.   Help?

Some of my lowest-light photos have had this sort of colored-noise problem (artifacts?) showing up for the past few months. Any idea what is causing it? It's been since I got a new Macbook Pro (M2 Max) and also around the time that Denoise AI was introduced. It doesn't look like typical noise, and part of my problem is that my photos look great in the develop module when I'm viewing the full photo, but if I zoom in or even go to the library module it shows the artifacts. It also shows them on exported jpegs, so it's really making me questsion all of my editing choices if the final output isn't necessarily matching what I'm seeing in the Develop module. So far I've tried adjusting the picture profile, playing with different types of "previews", and adjusting manual denoise settings. I've also tried turning on and off the graphics processor setting in the performance tab.I've attached two jpeg exports of a photo (one without any denoising, and one with Denoise AI), as well as t

https://creativecloud.adobe.com/learn/photoshop/web/photoshop-merge-to-hdr I'm revisiting some older images in LrC v13.5 that I created with this technique 11 years ago. Up until recently they looked as they used to. Now they're flat looking and I need to add about 25-30 points of Contrast to liven them back up. And it doesn't matter if I change the Process Version to v6 or leave it where they were last on v5. Any suggestions? MacOS Sonoma 14.5

Hi all - I'd love some help here as I'm struggling to resolve this issue. For context, I send wedding galleries to an editor and she does her edits then sends me back the catalog. At that point her masks and spot removals don't show up unless I do a mass update of the AI settings. I usually go into Library Mode - Photo drop down -  develop settings - update ai settings, which usually works fine to update all that she's done on the images. However lately every time I click that, Lightroom freezes and I have to exit out via force quit applications because I can't get it out of the frozen updating of the ai settings pop up box. Can anyone shed some light? I can't get her edits to populate and it's a major headache. Thank so much    [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.

Seit dem Umstieg von Nikon D610 auf Nikon Z6III wird bei RAW Aufnahmen bei Profilkorrekturen nur noch Integriert angezeigt. Bei der D610 wurde immer das benutzte Objektiv angezeigt, das ich auch auf der Z6III verwende, . Ich benutze Lightroom Classic 13.4 aber auch in der Vorgängerversion 13.3.1 wird nur Integriert angezeit. Manuell kann ich Tamron auswählen und sofort wird dann auch das Objektiv SP 24-70 F2,8 angezeigt. Hat jemand eine Idee?

 Have just started my first tethering. While I go Live I see full landscape frame so I can adjust the products to shoot. While I change my camera to portrait the live mode cuts the top and bottom of the frame making it impossible to frame the picture.  Could not find any button to set it to full verticle frame in live mode. Can someone guide me on this as 6o how do I see full live view on portrait mode.

Running LrC 13.4 and PS 25.11. Just starting yesterday, I cannot edit my raw file directly in PS from LrC.When I select Edit in Photoshop 2024, PS launches, but it doesn't open the raw file.As a workaround, I can open the file as a smart object (Edit in/ Open as Smart Object in Photoshop).But after editing, I get an error from trying to save the PSD file. The error message is "Error 2: photoshop is undefined. Line:1 ->" (see attached screen grab).When I return to LrC, the new PSD file does not appear in the Library unless I synchronize the folder.I also tried Edit in Photoshop from Lr (not classic). Doesn't work at all: "File could not be opened in Photoshop".When this issue appeared, I was running LrC 13.2. I tried upgrading to 13.4; didn't solve the issue.

I've been using LR Classic for quite a while (2011 I think), first with a Canon, then added an iPhone and an Olympus.  I have only one cagtalog to keep life simple.I always click "don't import susptected duplicates"For the Canon and the Olympus never a problem.  With various iPhones I have to pay close attention because sometimes it WILL import SOME duplicates, sometimes it gets it exactly right with no intervention.  I have all the latest operating systems and versions as of 13 August 2024iOS 17.6.1macOS Sonoma 14.6.1LRC 13.4Camera RAW 16.4I'm on a 2020 M1 Mac Mini and using an iPhone 13 Pro Max.Typically I format the SD cards on my Olympus after import.But I like having as much history on my iPhone as possible so I don't delete much.Today I did all the steps very slowly and carefully - I have screenehots along the way.I did an import from the iPhone just yesterday, so there were only about 4 images to importBut LR wanted to import many more.I unchecked some o

I'm working with stacks in Lightroom- anywhere from 3 to 7 exposures in each stack. When a single stack is slected for an HDR merge, I get a preview window with deghosting optoins. However, when I select all stacks and HDR merge as a group- I have no deghosting options. Does Lightroom use the previously selected deghosting option for all merges? If not, is there a way to tell lightroom which degree of deghosting to use before a group selection HDR merge?
