Questions

Hello everybody, I am running a late version of Lightroom Classic on my M3 MBP. I made a stupid mistake the other night and accidentally created a hitch in my backup system to where I was using Carbon Copy Cloner. I recently got some new SSD drives, my Carbon Copy Cloner task menu was full of old things so I decided to delete everything old.Well, I accidentally made a boo-boo, and I will chalk it up to exhaustion, so I took my Lacey rugged 2 TB SSD, which is one of my two drives and is currently my primary working drive, which I back up to a 2 TB scan extreme when I created the new Carbon Copy Cloner profile accidentally copied the back up onto what is supposed to be my primary drive long story short I went and tried to fix things messed it up. I decided to rename the drive and correct everything. It says my main drive has 668 GB of space left on it. I just tried to download a memory card with 25 photos of the sunset I took. I got the message in the screenshot. I know my Z9 takes large

Hi there,I am new to lightroom. I am currently learning how to use lightroom using you tube videos.I don't seem to be able to find File Handling and New Metadata Preset. Does anyone know how to find them?Thanks Tiger 

How to fix this Error? I not able to reduce noise with AI. My computer is 2014 MacBook Air,  the "Super Resolution" can be done, but AI denoise can't.Hope somebody can help me, thank you so much.

Following the release of Lr Classic 13.3 I have a potential bug that i cannot understand.  If i import a Nikon NEF raw file Lightroom applies Process Version 6 to it.  If i send the same file through DXO PureRaw 4 and then import the resulting DNG file into Lr Classic it applies Process Version 5. Not sure if this is a LrC or DXO issue but i cant remember it happening before the 13.3 update.

When activating DeNoise in LRcc on a NEF image, DeNoise goes through the motions and finishes.  However the DeNoised image does not show up.  Screen says 'no image'. If I restart LRcc then the DeNoised image shows up. I have uninstalled LRcc and reinstalled.  Otimized LRcc and every other thing I can think of. I tried usings Topaz Photo AI with the same result as above. There were also times that Relmove Photo would not allow removal. when restarting however the images were in the trash can. I am flumoxed! Any help appreciated. LRcc and MacOS all up to date.

For the first time using Lightroom, I have that little red button that says my AI masks need updating. I have tried various ways to update them, including ctrl alt U, and nothing works. It won't copy and paste my workflow suddenly. I deleted the presets and reloaded them and tried again- nothing. I reset preferences- nothing. I have the newest version, updated on 08/05/2024 (version 13-4).  Operating on Windows 10. Thanks

Lr Classic does not show black or white clipping on images taken with Nikon Z50 and Nikkor 18-140 mm lens. It does show clipping on Z50 images taken with the 16-50mm and 50-250mm kit lenses. Is this a known issue or undocumented "feature"? Is there some workaround that I don't know?

Hi, I know that I can load JPEGs into the catalogue either as sidecars or as separate files. My question is somewhat different.I like to load them as separate files; sometimes I like to do a JPG slideshow or to compare the JPG to the RAW. Anyway, my concern is flagging, rating, and tagging photos. With two versions of each image (RAW + JPEG) in the catalogue, it seems like I have to flag, tag, etc. each file separately. Is there a way to jointly tag the two versions of an image (RAW and JPEG) at once? Thanks for any suggestions.

Hello. I am trying to open lightroom on my computer and the software is not responding, I have tried restarting the computer and also uninstalling and reinstalling and nothing works, I need help with this. Thank you

Hola, cuando intento abrir el programa sale el siguiente mensaje de error:"Un error ha impedido que Ligthroom Classic pueda abrir este catálogo",¿Alguién puede ayudarme?, gracias.

I have a shared collection in Lightroom Classic v13.4 that have comments from several people. I filtered the collection using @john beardsworth's plugin called AnyFilter, and then created a new shared collection from those images, so my team can further narrow down their final selections. The issue I've run into is that the commments they added in the original collection are not preserved in the newly created collection. Is there a way to fix this or copy these comments to the new collection?

Please help. When I opened LR yesterday, most of my 72,000 photos had somehow been moved from hundreds of folders in my catalog into one large folder called All Photographs. See attached jpg. The photos have not been physically moved on my hard drive. They remain in their respective folders and subfolders, but in LR they “appear” to have been moved. This doesn’t seem like the usual unlinking problem since there are no grayed out numbers for the photos that should be in each folder. Instead the many folders in question indicate 0 photos. Also, my edits from the Develop module do appear to be intact.  This all started after auto update to version 13.4. I uninstalled that version and reverted back to 13.3 but the problem persists. I have also tried opening my backup catalogs, but the same thing happens. How do I return my photos to their proper folders? System info is below.

Guten Morgen in das Forum, hier habe ich bereits einige Fehlerbeschreibungen und Lösungshinweise gefunden, leider jedoch keines, welches bei meinem Problem weitergeholfen hat.   Eine kurze Problembeschreibung:   Nach einem Rechnerwechsel habe ich die alte SSD-Festplatte in den neuen Rechner eingesetzt. Das hat gut funktioniert, die Platte wurde erkannt, mit Windows 10 gebootet usw. Auch die Nachregistrierung wie bspw. MS-Office, aber auch Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design&Web Premium funktionierten problemlos.   Lediglich die Nachregistrierung LR Classic 6.x schlug unter Windows 10 mit dem Fehler fehl, dass der Browser aktualisiert werden müsse. ALLE Browser sind jedoch aktuell.   Kurzerhand habe ich Windows 11 installiert. Nun ließ sich nach Eingabe der Seriennummer Lightroom wieder aktivieren, aber: Lightroom startet kurz, dann schließt sich der Bildschirm ohne weitere Hinweise sofort wieder.   Ziehe ich den LAN-Stecker und kappe die Internetverbindung, läs

Redirecting an ealier, related discussion that ended up on the above topic.  That said, I'm finally looking at cloud storage options to supplement my current laptop HD plus two external SSDs (the often recommended 3-2-1 solution).  I've been reading multiple online reviews, and Backblaze, Carbonite, and iCloud seem to keep bubbling up to the top.  I've also searched this forum, but much of the discussion on this topic seems somewhat dated.  I know this is like asking what's the best car out there, so I'll preface that I just need a solid, trusted, basic cloud backup service for my photos (about 2TBs of space) that keeps everything updated in the background.  I'm running LrC on a W11 machine (and drive a Honda) if that makes a difference.

I have a very big catalogue, and basically all my pictures should be in at least one collection. But sometimes I forget to make an assignment after import, and then it is quite difficult to identify these pictures later. Also copies that are created by editing in external apps are not automatically assigned to a collection even if the original picture was assigned.It would be a perfect solution to create a smart collection for these cases, but I still could not figure out, if/how it is possible to create such a smart collection.

Hi I was importing raw files to my computer and lightroom gave me the following error message: The following files were not imported because their paths contain backlashes. Unfortunately I did not have a second card in my camera so no backup. The card was corrupt. Trying to figure out if I can still save the images. I did manage to drag them out of the sd card and into my desktop - but cannot trasnfer them or do anything with them. Before I contact my client to see how I can make this right with them (for worst case scenario) does anyone have a solution for me? Thank you (Trying not to panic).   {Thread renamed by moderator}

The most recent update to LR classic (12.3) does not contain all of my Topaz Plugins.  I actually unistalled all of them and then downloaded and reinstalled them.  The only apps that I can use the "Edit In" option from LR are Photoshop, Topaz Sharpen AI and Topaz Denoise AI.  I also have Topaz Photo AI, Topaz Adjust AI, Topaz Mask AI and Topaz Gigapixel AI.  How to I get the plugins for these to work with LR like they used to? 

Hello,I use the latest version of Lightroom Classic. When I import a photo that has been marked as protected with the key in the camera, Lightroom behaves strangely.If I import via a card reader, the photo ends up with write protection on the hard drive, which makes further work cumbersome.If I import directly from the Nikon Z9 via USB-C cable, the photo ends up on the hard drive WITHOUT write protection.Why is the behaviour different?Thank you

Pour la suppression dans LR CC et même dans PhotoShop, Google fais beaucoup mieux. surtout dans LR CCJe suis vraiment dessus. 

Yellow badges are missing on shared and commented photos (Lightroom Classic CC desktop)When a comment is posted for a photo, the collection and photo thumbnails should display with a yellow badge () to indicate feedback activity. Unfortunately after reinstalling Windows 10 and Lightroom Classic CC desktop these yellow badges are missing. I can see comments and likes when scrolling over the images but do not want to look it up several hundreds of pics when shared. Other badges are okay (indicating edited photos, cropped badges, keyword badges) and visible, only the yellow ones are missing.1.) Edit --> Preferences --> Interface --> Show badges:  ON2.) View --> View preferences --> Cell icons --> Thumbnail Badges: ON3.) Collections --> Library Window --> Grid view --> Sort: Last comment time switching ON and OFF --> no effect;        Sort: A-Z --> Z-A --> no effect4.)

I've been experiencing a massive drop in performance in Lightroom. On my Windows Desktop (7900X, 64GB DDR5, RTX 4080) as well as on a Macbook 16" (M1 Max, 32gb, 32C GPU). I tend to use a fair bit of masks and often work with panoramas, but I don't really had much issues with that in the past. Especially when working on/with/adding masks, the program becomes pretty much unresponsive and at times even crashes. I've tried with GPU acceleration on and off, experience is pretty much the same. All drivers are also up-to-date. Anyone else experiencing any of the sort? Solutions? Or am I using an excessive amount of masks (I really don't think I am). 

I used Lightroom Classic today to import and edit 631 images, did some editing, exports, closed the apllication and allowed it to backup the catalogue. I now find that LrC will not open, and that lrcat.lock, lrct-shm and lrcat-wal files are continually being created and deleted in the current catalogue folder (version 13.3). Does this mean that my catalogue is corrupt, and if so how can I recover? As far as I know there have been no updates today to LrC or Windows 11.

A client has a Win10 machine running LrC 13.4 and using CanonPro300 with latest Windows driver.. When we save a new print template the selected Colour Management Profile becomes blank. This happens even if managed by printer is selected. As soon as we save the template or we update an existing template the profile becomes blank.  We also got same behaviour with EpsonP900 so it doesnt seem to be dependant on the printer driver.Selecting a pre-saved template results in the profile becoming blank.Our only workaround is to choose a print template, then select the profile before printing every time.

I was working on my laptop and I was clearing space off my mac. Not realizing I had accidentally deleted my LightRoom Catalog it was about 300+ gb. Is there any way I can recover this? I really need it back...The issue also was it didn't finish Synching
