Bonjour,Après une sélection de photos(+-500), j'essaie d'utiliser le module Diaporama. Celui-ci bug plusieurs fois d'affilée. Depuis, toutes les photos de mon catalogue (+de 60000), non sélectionnées pour le diaporama, n'ont plus d'aperçu ! Je peux voir les photos dans le module Développement mais jamais plus de trois à la fois... alors que celles sélectionnées pour le diaporama sont toujours bien présentes. Que faire ?Quelqu'un a t il déjà été confronté à ce problème et comment le résoudre ?MERCI !Philippe Mac Mini 2022MacOS Sequoia 15.3.1LRC V14.2

I recently had to move my photos folder from one place to another (old drive died, copied files from a backup to a new drive). At the same time I updated to the latest Adobe, that now has assisted culling for example. Main catalog updated fine, was able to view photos etc. Then I tried to import. Since it's a new version of adobe it's now showing me the new fetaures.. in this case assisted culling. No problem, click on the X to close the dialog.. nope.. hmm.. I can't click anywhere to get rid of the dialog. Thought maybe adobe crashed, so i clicked on another window and low and behold there's another dialog behind the culling sample one.. it's showing that the old destination folder no longer exists, which is true. Ok, click on Ok. Nope.. instantly the culling dialog is back.. so now I'm stuck. I can't close the culling dialog, and I can't close the missing destination folder dialog. I can only kill the process.. Anyone have a solution for this crazy one?

Hallo und guten Morgen, ich benutze einen iMac und Lightroom Classic in der neuesten Version. Ich möchte gerne XMP-Dateien beim Import erzeugen und habe dies auch in den Katalogeinstellungen aktiviert. Das funktioniert aber nicht, die Metadaten werden immer in die Originaldateien geschrieben. Auch ein nachträgliches Schreiben der Metadaten in eine Datei funktioniert nicht. Die Schreib- und Leseberechtigungen sind gesetzt. Nun habe ich alle meine Fotodateien markiert und versucht, XMP-Dateien zu erzeugen. Bei einem Teil der Bilder hat das funktioniert, bei den meisten aber nicht. Großes Rätsel.Den ganzen Vorgang habe ich auch mit einem neuen Katalog vorgenommen, es funktioniert auch dort nicht.Kann jemand helfen ?Ich bedanke mich sehr und viele GrüßeBernd

Dear Sir, My name is Ronak, i am an wedding photographer from India.I have canon r6 mark ii camera, when i open m rawy photos in lightroom classic the library modules loads faster photos, but in the develop module it loads the photos too slow. I feel one photo will take 3-4 seconds to load. I have also changed my prefrences settings , increaed camera raw cache, optimize the catalogue but yet the same problem. Problem 2.... In develop module copying settings from previous photo and pasting on the next photo it takes 5-6 seconds which was not earlier. I have latest Lightroom Classic 15 version too.  Please do help me. I have done all the settings which i read in many post here. Still finding the same ptoblem as this eas stated in this post https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/photo-switching-performance-in-develop-mode-is-slow/td-p/14439290

Good morning, I am using an M4 MacBookPro with a Wacom One Tablet. At the moment, when I am brushing to add/subtract to a mask using the tablet and pen, if I then use the laptop's trackpad it alters the size of the brush.  Is there any way I can change the setting so that any movement on the trackpad moves the image - like in Photoshop when refining a mask? Many thanks in advance. Kind regards, Paul

Can anyone tell ne how to contact Adobe Tech Support (chat or email) regarding what appears to be a resonably common problem with V15, one that has made the app unusable for me?

LR Classic V 14.5.1 -  Win 11 24H2Import from catalog fails. I have done this many times in the past with no issues.Importing from a small catalog to a larger one fails on “scanning for masks”.The progress bar did not move for several hours - stalled just before the “C” of cancel.On cancelling the files had been imported.As a test (suggested by adobe agent), I created a new empty catalog and imported the same file. No issue, imported normally as in many times in the past.I had to re-import one folder from the smaller catalog (instead of the whole thing). Same issue. Same result.Neither catalog contains LR masks.It appears that the import is trying to scan the entire larger catalog for masks. Agent suggested that this is “normal”This is completely unnecessary and a gross waste of time.Both catalogs pass an “integrity check”."Expected result" is no need to scan entire catalog!"Richard

In all previous versions of LrC, double-clicking on a develop slider returned it to its global default value, which is zero for most sliders. In 15, it isn't working that way. It appears that it may be resetting to the value associated with the applied preset instead, which in about 99% of the cases where I do it means that it will have no effect at all. If this was an intentional change, I hate it, and the option to have it work the old way needs to be available in the Preferences menu. If it's a bug, please fix it.

i just did the most recent Lightroom classic update and it asked me to update my catalogs, which I did. However, I forgot to plug in my external hard drive before doing so. It updated the few folders I have on my computer hard drivejist fine, but now when I plug in my external hard drive it didn't seem to update these folders and I can't find them anywhere through Lightroom classic. The folders still exist on the external hard drive as before, but Lightroom won't recognize them.

Since the latest update to Lightroom Classic when browsing profiles in the Develop module, I have found that the image occasionally remains in  monochrome even if another profile is chosen and will not respond as usual when pressing the Alt key and adjusting the white and black points. The only remedy appears to be to select another image in the filmstrip and return to the image being processsed. Lightroom Classic version: 15.0 [ 202510171722-44f87028 ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: enOperating system: Windows 11 - Business EditionVersion: 11.0.22631Application architecture: x64System architecture: x64Logical processor count: 24Processor speed: 3.7GHzSqLite Version: 3.36.0CPU Utilisation: 1.0%Power Source: Plugged InBuilt-in memory: 32670.9 MBDedicated GPU memory used by Lightroom: 2485.3MB / 4004.0MB (62%)Real memory available to Lightroom: 32670.9 MBReal memory used by Lightroom: 5673.8 MB (17.3%)Virtual memory used by Lightroom: 18356.5 MBGDI objects count: 1950U

I have ~250GB of files in LR at the moment which I have (had) sucessfully synced to LRC running on my home desktop. The problem began when I noticed I was running out of space on the drive where the synced images were located. From Preferences I changed the location for the sync files to another drive with more space and when prompted, confirmed that I wanted to move all files to the new location. The move had not gotten very far when my machine black-screened and restarted (this happened a second time as well). There was no obvious way to restart the move and but I did have some success by pointed sync location first to the original drive and then to the new location. However, when LRC indicated that it was finished with the move I quickly found some problems.  First about 100GB had not been moved. Second, the file structure was not the same between the drives - on the original it was Lightroom Sync/Mobile Downloads.lrdata/various device subfolders and in the new location al

I am an editor for another photographer and he sends me the catalogs using Smart Previews for me to select and edit.However, since the last update I made about 5 days ago (according to the Creative Cloud app's records), the Library module freezes while I am selecting photos. I can only access the photos via the horizontal filmstrip (clicking on them), but the main Library viewing area remains frozen afterwards.System Specifications:LR Classic Version: v15.0OS: Windows 10CPU: Intel Core i7-9700KFRAM: 32GBGPU: 1660 6GBCatalog Location: SSD (Solid State Drive)-----------------------------------------Versão PT/BR Estou passando por um bug de congelamento no Lightroom Classic (LR Classic) após atualizar para a versão v15.0.Eu trabalho como editor de outro fotógrafo e ele me envia os catálogos utilizando Visualizações Inteligentes (Smart Previews) para que eu faça a seleção e edição das fotos.Desde a última atualização, realizada há cerca de 5 dias (conforme registro do aplicativo Creat

I would appreciate any insights into how I can optimize this particular workflow: I like to use LR on my MBP and iPad as a way to strip photos off a card and do some initial work on them - culling, starring, and light editing. I prefer to use LRC on my powerhouse machine at home to maintain my legacy catalog and because I have long ago worked out reliable storage and backup protocols. I organize the photos on my LRC-linked NAS by year and then sub-folder by subject or event.  This works well for me and want to maintain that as the basic organizing principle. So . . . I understand that the full file I load up to the cloud is synced back to my LRC machine and I can access those files directly or more easily via the (cloud) LR collection that I create when doing the inital import into LR.  What I want to do, is to move the collection and the full file data into one of my year folders on the NAS and then have that same folder sync back to (the same) collection in LR. Th

I have the latest version of Lightroom Classic 15.0 installed on more than one Apple computer with M processors, and it's almost impossible to have a reasonable workflow, let alone a good one. There are many errors, such as when I move to the next photo it randomly reverts to the previous photo's settings; if I crop a photo, the subsequent photos are in a nonsensical format. Adding to the already known problems of selecting automatic white balance, the photo gets stuck and won't advance to the next one unless I change it with the mouse, as the keyboard controls are inactive. Adobe's solution: - Disable the "Use graphics processor" option- Disable the "Use GPU for preview generation" option So what's the logic in having a Mac Studio with 30 GPU cores? This isn't a solution; Adobe is just a patch.   And I'd like to take this opportunity to express my indignation at them having "DUPLICATED" the price of the products with the justification of AI, when what "REALLY MATTERS" is what it'

LR classic 15 on Mac OS 15.6.1. There are two pictures stacked. One is a raw file, the other one is a PSD version of the raw. I crop the PSD file, select both files, PSD file is the active file and sync the develop setttings (in develop mode). Only the crop settings are selected. The crop of the raw file does not change.  I did redo the same with other pictures and it did work.

Version 15Windows 11 PRO I imported 6464 RAw files, marked 5096 as rejected and eventually deleted all jected photos with CTRL + BACKSPACE: I ended up with a folder that still says 6464 photos but in practuce only  1395 photos are present (verified from file explorer) I then marked as rejected one more photo and deleted again all rejected photos: I ended up with a folder saying 6463 photos but in practice only  1394 photos are present (verified from file explorer).To solve I had to remove the folder from catalog and reimport again.

I'm getting the common Error 10000 "We can’t verify your subscription status." message when I'm logging into Lightroom Classic on my PC. I have tried several of the tips on here in different threads to resolve it and am having no luck. I am logged into internet (tried on three separate networks) and have been prompted to log in multiple times. I was editing only two days ago and did not have a problem. I feel like since my subsciption is on auto-renew and is active, that the last time I was editing, it should "know" when my last verified date was and if the current date is before my subsciption renewal date. This has happened for a while and it's very frustrating when it makes a program unusable when I am working somewhere without internet, or in this case, with internet and there is another issue I can't fix. Anyone else run into the same type of recurring issues? Any way of actually being able to get resolution from Adobe on it? 

This is reporting a bug in Lightroom classic 13.1 build 202312111226-41a94e8 on Windows 11. I recently returned from a European river cruise and ran a tracker on my iPhone and Apple Watch to gather tracklogs for the trip. That worked out fine.  The program, Geotag Photos 2, created a GPX file and I verified that it matches the GPX schema, with latitude, longitude, and UTC timestamp for each logged point. There are some serious problems in using this with Lightroom classic, however: The GPX tracklog contains timestamps in UTC, per the GPX XML schema. For most of Europe, that's an offset of +1 hour over UTC. However, when I load the tracklog for each day of my trip into Lightroom, it converts to local time: currently UTC-6 for my location in Texas.For example, in the map module, if I hover over a portion of the track near an already timestamped photo that shows 11:04AM, the tracklog reports 5:03AM (see attached image--off by 1 minute is ok). This is the UTC timestamp

Running LR 12.4 on an iMac (Monterrey 12.6.3) with a second monitor. I have LR on the main iMac screen in Full Screen with Menu Mode and other apps on the 2nd display. Almost every time I click on an app in the 2nd monitor, the LR window switches to that display and I need to change the screen mode to Normal, move it back to the primary screen the go back to Full Sxreen with Menu. This has been happening for a while with several different versions of both OS and LR. It's driving me nut and any fixes would be greatly appreciated?

Hey! I have been unable to import pictures to Lightroom classic. It says that it is unable to because the destination is not writable. I have made sure that all permissions are correct. Half of my gallery was able to unload while the rest was not! Please let me know how to fix this. Thank you! 

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

I have tried to create a slideshow in the Slideshow module, but the quality is very poor. I'm not talking about the images themselves, they look fine, but everything else, such as text and borders, is rendered very poorly. The text is barely legible, even with a fairly large font size, and there are strange lines around the borders that shouldn't be there. I have selected High Quality, but I can't see any difference from Draft or Standard quality. The ready-made templates are no better either. They all look like drafts. Am I the only one experiencing this? I haven't tried exporting the slideshow, but am just showing it directly from Lightroom. I use LR v. 15.0 and a MacBook Pro M5.

Hello, I got today an automatic update to LRC v15. When I try to open LRC I have a request to update my last catalog to a new one with apparently a new format. I accepted the request but it goes nowhere ! The system stays inactive after a very small blue bar ! Any idea about this problem. As I need to work today should I come back to the v14 with the old catalog ? Thanks for your help 

Hallo, ich habe auf Lightroom Classic v15 aktualisiert. Jetz habe ich nur noch Probleme mit dem Programm. Es hängt sich regelmäßig beim editieren auf, Prog stürzt ab, Bilder werden in der Vorschau teilweise mit falschen Farben angezeigt. Die Probleme hatte ich bei v14.51 nicht.

How do I migrate collections from an old catalog to a new one?The old one was corrupt and slow so I had to start a new one from scratch.  How do I export the collections from my old catalog and import into my new one?The old one will open but after a while it slows down and hangs due to the corruption issues.
