Questions

In Lightroom Classic (Release 15.0) on Mac I want to apply a preset with DeNoise and a Subject Mask (inverted) during Auto Import.My goal is to create a workflow, where I can Auto Import RAW files, and have DeNoise applied during import, such that the image is ready for further editing, when I turn to the computer.The preset works fine, when I apply it to an already imported image.I have selected the preset in "Auto Ingest Setting | Development Setting"I can see that the auto imported images has an invalid mask added, although Lightroom can do Subject detection on itIf I apply a "simple" preset, like a a black & white preset it work fineIt seems like a bug to me

Bonjour,Je possède un iMAC fin 2013 (OS Catalina) et je souhaite installer/acheter LightRoom Classic .J'ai bien vu qu'il ne correspond pas au recommandation hardware , mais cela est il possible et cela  fonctionne t'il ?  (évidement plus lentement) Cela me permettra d'attendre quelques mois avant mon changement de matériel.

Howdy, since some time I notice that the view on the second monitor does not open when lightroom classic is started (on Windows 11 Home with latest updates). In the configuration the correct monitor is selected and does not change across sessions.I always have to press F11 to show up the second screen.Earlier LR remembered that the second screen was open and reopened upon start.Is this a bug or a feature now?

I have moved to a new Mac running Sonoma 14.1.1 and I have noticed a problem I didn't have on my older Mac. My LR catalog is on the internal SSD and the image files are on a new external SSD. In the past I would be in LR, go to "delete rejected photos", and then choose "delete from disk" and the images would go to the trash. Now I get a LR message that it "cannot delete files from a drive that doesn‘t support trash". It then offers "completely delete images". I can remove/delete from disk LR images that are on the internal drive fine but I keep getting the error message for files on the external drive. The external drive has APFS formatting and LR has access to my internal and removable drives so I'm not sure why this problem is occurring.

Warum hat es Adobe nach Jahren nicht geschafft in Lightroom Classic beim Import einen Filter zu integrieren der Dateitypen ausschließt. Man muss zuerst alles importerien um dann wieder zu entfernen. Es geht kaum umständlicher. So etwas rudimentäres ist längst überflüssig. Bevor man auf sinnlose KI Funktionen den Focus legt wäre es einfach schön wenn man das mal auf die Todo Liste setzen würde.

Dear friends, when I use the blur tool in LRC everything works fine UNTIL I modify the focus range sliders. As soon as I shift the focus range the application freezes on the "Analysing" message, and I need to kill the taks in the taks manager. I run the latest Win 11 update, a AMD Ryzen 9 5900X processor, 64 GB Ram and an 8GB RTX 2080 Super Graphics adapter. Any ideas? Thank you,Jerry

Posted my experience, including system detail, etc. a week ago, and received numerous recommendations, none worked. In working through one of the recommendations I came up with a screen showing that I have been "syncing with the Cloud," a surprise to me since I had no idea that I was doing so. Could this be the problem? Attached is a screen shot showing my syncing status which seems to indicate that I have a group of files waiting to be synced.  My thought is to delete my synced files, particularly those waiting to be synced. Any help will be appreciated.

I can't get LRC to import my new files while leaving them in their current location. For several years I have been using Photo Mechanic to offload the files from my camera's SD card, rename them, and place them in the proper location on my hard drive while also creating a backup folder as a safety measure. I then select all the files and drag and drop them onto LRC, which opens the import window and creates thumb nails of the files to be imported. I then add keywords and select "import". Normally, the files load into LRC in the same location that Photo Mechanic placed them.  Today that is not happening. Looking at the import dialogue screen, the source location is correct but LRC is changing the destination location of the files by adding a subfolder named "2025" to the destination location and a second subfolder inside of that named "2025-10-29" (the date the photos were taken). It then creates new copies of the photos and places them inside this "2025-10-29" folder whi

In my current image download folder, I see a bunch of acr files, which still bear their original import file naming, along with my NEF files and their corresponding xmp files. Most are small- 9-26k, but some are quite large, several MB in size.   As I understand it, the acr files have something to do with masking, but what I want to know is when I renamed my NEF files, and the corresponding XMP files got renamed, should the acr files have gotten renamed as well? I do not see any acr files that have been renamed to match the NEF/xmp files.   If I still have those acr files in the folder, but they still have the original file import names, does that mean that when I deleted some raw files in Lightroom, it did not remove these acr files, and they are now safe to discard now?   Photoshop 25.11.0, Lightroom Classic 13.4, Camera Raw 16.4., macOS 14.6.1

I just updated my  Adobe Lightroom Classic. It keeps crashing. The error message tells me that I need to update my "graphics card driver".I click on fix but either nothing happens or it takes me to a page where nothing makes sense. I have ZERO clue as to what to do. I click on the link provided in the error message, and it takes me to some Intel page.Intel® Driver & Support AssistantOn that page, there are instructions on how to download a driver assistant. However, some warnings say that..." this download could hurt my computer" JEEZ!!!! I really need some help. I have no freaking clue as to what to do. I need my software to work because that's how I make my living. The card information I can find in my computer is  Intel(R) UHD Graphics 630How in the world do I find this driver or update and how do I install it and make it work?!?!?I'm using windows 11 home BTW Photoshop and all my other programs work . Only LRC! Update-I updated the drivers pro

Hello, I have a Mac Studio M2 and the latest updated version of LR Classic.I have a slideshow of 60 images that I want to export. Each image is already exported in JPG < 5 mo (to make sure the issue don't come from the images).When I play the slideshow inside Lightroom, everything looks perfect (smoth transition). But when I export the slideshow, then, some weird flickering effect happens during some transition (not all). It's like images A start to fade transition to image B, and then, suddenly, A become full opacity during a 1/10 of a second, and then the transition continues as if nothing happend. It's very subtile, but you noticed it when playing the video.  I first thought it could come from the player.I have tried to use different video player, always the same issue.  I have done some research on the internet. One guy suggested that it could be the codec used to export the video, and to re-compress the video with QuickTime, or HandBrake. I tried,

I read that with the last version of LC (v15) and the latest leica SL2 firmware (6.2.0) it was possible to Tether via LC. But it is not working for me as the camera is not regognized by LC.Any suggetsions? 

I've searched and I see this question asked, but unanswered from a year or more ago. I'm hoping that someone will be able to give fresh eyes. I am getting the error:Lightroom cannot create a catalog named "Lightroom Catalog" on volume "OS (C:)" because Lightroom cannot save changes to this location.I have checked the permissions and they are set to Everyone, Administrators, and the profile of the user signed in as Full. This is a Windows 7, 64-bit installation.How do I solve this problem?

This morning I changed my billing for Lightroom from monthly to annually, in order to save the 50% price increase for the monthly billing. I asked if everything would remain the same with my account and was told it would. However, I just tried importing a DNG file and LR doesn't see it on my desktop (Mac OS 15.7.1/Sequoia) after downloading from my phone (iPhone 14 Pro/iOS 18.6). I have imported DNG files every day for the last year without issue. Can anyone tell me what's going on here? 

Dear Community,Here is my problem: I cannot display the "file handling" panel anymore.I tried the following:- right click on the header of another panel..weird as the "file handling" panel is not in the list of panels.- reset preferences- re-installed- same as above but moving the catalog to another HDD Thank you. Attached are: system info & a couple of screen captures  

How slow will be AI Denoise for AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 / AMD Radeon™ 890M?Will it take like 2 minutes for 30 MPx? or more?Does anyone have this CPU?

I clicked Read Metadata from files on a batch of photos and all the editing is gone. Is there any way to undo this and get them back?

Hi, I am having the exact same issue, background - I've got a brand new upgraded PC more than suitable for photoediting, everything is current in terms of updates, Photoshop seems to work fine, but not Lightroom.  I've tried all of the above troubleshooting, I did manage to get into a photo set for editing, but it froze with the first 6 images.  Now it won't get past the 'What's New' screen.This app was fine on Windows 10 with a lesser graphics card, what's happened here?  I'm paying for a subs for something I can't use?

On my Windows 11 and new Lightroom Classic V15, with the help of ChatGPT, I found a bug. When importing a raw file that already has xmp and acr sidecars, the edits in those sidecars do not appear in the Library module previews. However, they do appear in the Develop module. But, by using the Library/Previews option in the Library module to set 1:1 or standard sized previews, the previews are updated and properly display the xmp/acr sidecar edits. ChatGPT led to this tip after 3 rounds, and declares it a definite bug.

When using dark mode on macOS, export settings field text doesn't display (see attached screenshots).Switching to light mode immediately recifies the issue. Obviously it's easy enough to get around, but still annoying to have to switch OS themes every time! M1 MacmacOS 12.4Lightroom Classic 11.5

Nach dem letzten LR Classic Update habe ich jetzt wiederholt das riesige Problem, dass Lightroom die zuletzt genutzte Datei inkl. RAW, JPG und LR Ordner komplett von der Festplatte löscht bzw. nicht mehr vorhanden oder aufrufbar ist.   Die Dateien auf der externen Festplatte scheinen komplett verschwunden zu sein. Bitte um schnellstmöglichen Support, da ich meine Arbeit komplett einstellen muss, nach dem letzten LRC Update. Zudem ist LRC sehr langsam geworden nach dem letzten Update. Meine Kunden warten auf ihre Bilder, welche komplett verschwunden sind. Wo sind die eben noch bearbeiten Dateien geblieben?

Whenever Lightroom Classic is open, let alone editing, it slows my whole computer to a crawl. Delaying typing in web browser and super-jittery movement of windows.Now, in Lightroom, everything is slow menu-wise when importing, changing preferences, whatever. But, as soon as I add more than one mask, the whole program stalls and barely functions. Now, from my understanding, this shouldn't be happening with the specs that I currently have. LRC version 14.4Windows 11 ProIntel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700KF CPU @ 3.80GHz 32.0 GB RAMNvidia RTX 3060 12gb1 TB SSD with over 100 GB free None of these resources are going above 75%, with most settling around 50% in task manager. What could be causing this app to make my computer so slow?

LrC is pretty good at removing people...but not so good at identifying ALL of the people.  How do you select the ones it missed?  Just manully remove with the AI tool?
