I can't call up any programs over the top of Lightroom 8.1, which I just upgraded to today.Is it a preference I'm missing or such. I had to for instance minimize LR to see the browser and type this post.thanks

I'm running Windows 10. Lightroom Classic updated to 13.2 yesterday, and now I can't export photos. No matter what I do, when I select one or more photos to export, the progress bar appears in the top left, but even if I leave it for up to an hour, nothing ever gets exported. If I select export... the regular panel comes up so I can select options, but nothing gets exported. I've paused face and address lookup. I've disabled all plugins. I've tried selecting photos in the Library and Develop modules. I've tried using the right-click context menu and the File menu. I've tried it using presets and without. I've tried many combinations of output location including different physical drives, image format, file name, sharpening, metadata, watermarking, etc., and none of it ever produces an output. The only photos I can export are images that I've already exported, by using Export with Previous Nothing else works. This is driving me nuts. I had to take a screenshot to send someone an image t

Hallo,   mein Lightroom classic öffnet sich leider nicht. Es versucht ein Dokument zu öffnen. Es kommt die Meldung, dass das Dokument beschädigt ist. Was kann ich da tun?

I hope someone can help please.I'm using both a laptop and a computer with Lightroom Classic. When I keyword my files on my laptop for example and then sync those files to my computer the keywords are no longer there and vice versa. I would have thought once the keywords were attached to a file they would stay, or am I missing a step somewhere?

I just accidentily imported photos into lightroom classic with embedded sidecar.  When I switch to the develop module will I be able to see the raw image or do I need to re-import them with standard preview and convert to DNG? Thank you

I am printing for the first time from Lr CC to Epson R2400 since updating Apple notebook to Catalina (this is only variable since last Print session pre-lockdown). Issue = Print button is greyed out. Driver working as I can display ink levels. Can print ex Word. Thanks. 

Hi!I want to insert a page with multiple photos (18 photos) in the book mode of the latest version of Lightroom Classic but ther's no option to do it. There are only few preset that have less or more cells than needed. If i try to select all photos and drag-n-drop in the page ther's no allinement layout and i have to drag those manually.Please help.

I have two computers (a Macbook Air, a desktop PC), and one Android phone.  I subscribe to the full Adobe suite.  I've been using these apps for many many years, and there's still so much that to me, is un-understandable.  I think one part of the problem is Adobe's lack of universal terms - like on mobile a "collection" is actually a FOLDER (yeesh I worked on that for an hour until I figured that out).Anyway, I want to be able to sync photos I take on my phone to BOTH my Macbook and desktop - but - they are using two different catalogs.  So...am I screwed?  No way to have the same photo on all threee devices?So then what does Adobe mean by "sync across all devices" - it seems that is IMPOSSIBLE, correct?Thanks...

When I first started editing a few years ago, I learned on Lightroom Cloud. Now that I know what I'm doing I'd like to switch over to Lightroom Classic because it seems like there is some more functionality with Classic. The problem is that for some reason the keyboard commands are different and the ones on classic dont seem to make any sense with hand placement, but there also isn't an option for Lightroom Cloud keyboard controls, which would seem like a no brainer. So much so that I assume I just don't know how to switch them over. Does anyone know where to do so?

I am trying to export a shared drive and Lightroom Classic reported that the specific folder is not writable. However, I can read/write without issue from Windows Explorer on the same computer. Also, within the "Choose Folder" dialogue box I can create a new folder without issue. If I select the newly created folder, LR Classic complains again. Additionally, I can right click in the Choose Folder dialogue, select New, then add a new item to the folder. It can successfully add the item. So the folder is definitely writable! Why is LR Classic thinking it is not writable?!    I am running Version 13.4.  [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.

Hello!I am noticing a weird bug? lately in LR Classic on Macos Monterey.  With raw file white balance, or It/something seems to have changed , more recently,  from what I can tell.  Basically, my raw image(s) white balance appears to shift as I edit my Canon R5 Raw Files, which didn't happen before/in the same way.  Sometimes the image now will turn more purple or blue, when it might have been more orange in the base raw exposure/AWB in the past.     I have attached the split view/before after, and other specs/version imformation.          [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]

I have found that Lightroom Classic 13.4 and 13.3 both wipe out pre-existing Histories and Snapshots in the Develop Module.Have you perhaps seen this problem too?LrC 13.2 does not seen to have this problem.   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

Let me give you an example: if I have a folder called USA, and a sub-folder called California, and in that, one sub-sub-folder is called San Diego while a second sub-sub-folder is called Los Angeles, is there any way for those names to be read so that the contained images' keywords to have "USA," "California," and some of them also have …, "San Diego," while others have …, "Los Angeles?"   I know how to do this manually, but I want to know if there's a faster/easier way to do this.   Thanks!

Probelem opening lightroom files in photoshop! All my software is up to date. Still I get this message: Could not open “DSC02192.ARW” because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. What can I do ? First time ever having this problem  

I needed to upgrade the catalog with the new Lightroom Classic update about 10 days ago (now 13.3). However, it seems that the previews were not included. In the same folder, I see the old preview catalog (500 GB) and a new preview catalog (4.5 GB). I'm not sure why the previews were not incorporated into the new catalog. I've done several hours of work in the past week (before I noticed what happened), so I don't want to lose anything by rolling back and upgrading again. Is there a way to absorb the old previews into the new catalog? Or any other ideas besides creating 500 GB of previews all over again from scratch? What's the best way forward?

If this has already been asked, I haven't found it yet.  So bear with me.  After updating to the latest LR Classic on my windows computer, none of my AI masks work.  This has caused a significant slow down in my workflow.  What could have happened?  And how do I fix it.  Thanks ~Janet~

I've been editing a ton of dance show photos. I edit one photo, copy and paste the settings into others, and adjust the settings. I've always done this for quite some time.   Today I noticed Lightroom Classic not behaving as usual. When I open up the copy settings window, I have no option to actually copy the Remove Tool (Q) (previousy called healing brush).   I guess they changed some tools' naming and forgot to update the copy settings to reflect that. Worse thing is, the Remove Tool is not anywhere in the settings, but they are actually copied!   So when I want to copy only the edits, the color, exposure, etc., I need to delete all Remove Tool instances, and copy settings. And add the Remove spots again if I need them. This is a nuissance.   Can someone verify this? Is this a bug or actual intented way of working? How can one copy the settings without the Remove Tool?   This is happening in a Windows 11, Intel i5 12400F with a Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti   Than

I have 50+ presets with support slider. Applying one of them will show a slider with a default amount of 100. I can change the slider from 0 to 200. What I want is, to set the slider at 60 by default when I apply the preset instead of 100. I have used the presets on various cameras and I found the presets best to use at 60. I don't want to create a new preset. Is it possible to edit the presets.xmp for default slider amount? like example crs:Amount="60"?  Any help and would be highly appreciated 🙂

This is a new issue. I used this feature in June and it created the image and posted it next to the ones I was working on. Today, after I select the images and try a photo merge (Panorama), it processes them and puts them in my folder on my hard drive, where the original files are located, and not in the software. Am I missing something?   MacBook Pro 16-inch 2023 Apple M2 Max 64 GB memory Sonoma 14.5   [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]

I'm fairly new to Lightroom Classic, but I just updated it, so I'm hoping the program shouldn't have an issue there. My MacBook Pro has plenty of storage as well. I uploaded a set of Raw photos from my memory card and they all appear super pixelated (example screenshot attached) when I go to Develop them. None of the files appear missing. The raws did save to my computer's hard drive. When I view the photos using my computer's preview app, the photos are totally normal, so I'm assuming I messed something up during the import process to Lightroom. None of my previous imports or galleries had this issue, causing me to scratch my head at which step I did incorrectly this time.  Does anyone know where I went wrong or have suggestions? Thank you in advance!!

Can there be a difference in image quality between different photo organisers????

I have about 300Gb of unstructured photos (a lifetime of photos) on my synology home RAID.  I am using a Macbook Pro 14inch work computer as my best desktop client.  I may have to buy a new home Mac in the next year as I may lose my job.  Given this should I set up lightroom classic on my work computer now and transfer it to a new computer in a year or just go on-line with lightroom?  I back up my home RAID as there are 2Tb of important files.  I think classic may have more features but want to avoid a hassle that may be associated with switching.  It is going to be a lot of work to organize all my past photos and don't want to do it twice.   

Hello everyone, I'd like to understand how the Lightroom Classic catalog works.I built two catalogs with same photos, one with Lightroom Classic and one with Photo Mechanic Plus. The LrC catalog size is 32 GB and the PM catalog size is 16,57 GB.The previews sizes are almost the same, on LrC is 1680px and on PM is 1600px. Of course I discarded the 1:1 and the smart previews in LrC.How's possible this big difference?
