Im not a photographer, we just save all our family memories.Recently migrated from Windows 11 to macOS Sonoma when we bought an Apple M3 Pro with 18GB of RAM. The first thing I did was try to move the photo catalog of approximately 130,000 files from the SSD of the Windows machine to macOS. It is worth mentioning that the files reside on a local NAS, with which I had no problems from Windows. It was frustrating that I couldn't reconnect the folders in any way, neither using SMB nor AFP. I currently use AFP because using scripts via Terminal works very well and seems reliable to me.Faced with the frustration of not being able to reconnect the folders, I decided to create a new catalog v13.3, believing it would be the best way to avoid problems. At least for the past two days, I've had the machine running almost 24 hours trying to rebuild it with no luck, but it has been impossible. It remains frozen for a long time, the Activity Manager shows it using 0 CPU, 0 network, and 12GB out of t

Hallo liebe Community,  Ich habe ein Problem/eine Frage bezüglich des Speicherorts der XMP Dateien von in Lightroom bearbeiteten Raws und weiss nicht, ob ich gerade völlig auf dem Schlauch stehe.  Meines Wissens nach speichert Lightroom (automatisch) die XMP Datei im gleichen Ordner, in dem auch die Raw Datei liegt.  Nun ist mir eher zufällig aufgefallen, dass das teilweise nicht der Fall ist und ich kann mir nicht erklären wieso. Ich nutze projektbezogen unterschiedliche Kataloge (ich weiß, bei dem Thema scheiden sich die Geister). Nun ist es so, dass bei einigen Katalogen XMPs im Ordner der Raws vorhanden sind, bei anderen nicht. Die Katalogvoreinstellungen sind identisch, soweit ich das beurteilen kann. Wenn ich die Kataloge öffne, zu deren Raws keine XMPs im Ordner liegen, sind die eingestellten Bearbeitungen dennoch vorhanden.  Hat jemand eine Idee was da los sein könnte? Bitte seid nachsichtig mit mir, falls die Frage Kopfschütteln aus

hey guys, I used to use + and - to move sliders, now it's + and >, any idea how to change it?

Hello,In the past few days, I have happily used the new AI remove tool in Lightroom Classic.Today I launched the app and worked on new images, and the same tool does nothing.The red blob appears, I click apply, after a few seconds... nothing. I can even cycle through the three alternatives, but they are all "transparent", invisibile.I have just updated Lightroom because there was a "critical"issue resolved, and I hoped it was this, but... nope.Latest macOS with MacMini M1.

I'm using lightroomclassis 13.3 on a PC and the cloud butotn tells me I have a sych error but I'm not getting messages where do I find the messages as to what the error is.  

Whether it's added time or capture time it never comes out right.

This one keeps happening. After having LR open for some time (indeterminate, but a few days; amount of activity varies) I will get into a state where the crop preview shows an some past image, rather than the current image. Here's the starting point:Then hit 'r':Select a different image on the strip: The preview image is from a prior edit (I don't remember how many edits ago, but it's irrelevant. The preview is clearly wrong. And no, the crop does not get applied in any case. Yes, if I restart LR it works correctly (for a time). The point is that this is some sort of bug that shouldn't (and didn't used to) happen. At least before v13. I hope someone in support or development sees this and accepts it as a problem. 😕😕

For example, when using the brush to create a mask, it will SOMETIMES continue to draw until the pen is lifted more than 1" to 2"off the tablet and then continue to draw once again when pen is in contact with the tablet or back within 1" to 2". When that happens, the only way to "release" the brush is to tap the pen on the tablet.I deleted and reinstalled latest Wacom driver and then fell back to a previous driver version; both to no avail.I also have a Xencelabs pen & tablet which doesn't have the same problem. (Yeh, I know -- why don't I just use that? Answer: I've had the Wacom for years and I like it better LOL)Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Windows 10 64-bitLRC v 12.4

Hello everyone.I installed ligthroom classic on my new PC thinkpad P16 Gen 2 on windows 11 (intel i7 13th Gen, 64 GB of memory, graphiq card NVIDIA RTX™ 2000 8GB GDDR6) and since then, I have had a problem with slowness when updating the metadata (5s for updating a photo). This problem is random and does not affect all of my photos.For all other treatments, I have no problem.And for information, I have exactly the same settings as my old PC for which I have no problem.Likewise, I am currently at version 13.3 of lightroom classic.Thanks for your help.Frédéric

 The screen shot pretty much says it all. I am trying to cleanup my Plug-in Manager by removing all the vestigial/obsolete Plug-ins. The Facebook Plug-in that is highlighted is a good example.  The Plug-in is disabled and useless, but I cannot remove it because the "Remove" function in the menu at the bottom is dimmed and, thus, also useless. There are several others like this in the listing. How do I remove these useless Plugins from the listings if there is no "Remove" function? Thanks, --PS  

Hello, I have a hard drive that I am no longer using, and it has around 900K images. I am trying to delete the entire folder from the catalog, and every time I right click the "remove" folder, which is missing, my LR seems to freeze. Is there another way or method of removing large folders? Thank you,

Sync has stopped working yet again on 13.3 and upgrading to 13.3.1 doesnt' fix it. Strangely, edits of existing photos in the sync'd folders seem to be migrating to sync over, but adding new photos to folders with sync turned on doesn't result in the photos appearing there. I have tried the below with no changes.: 1. Rebuild sync data (before I saw the message not to do so from Adobe... this used to be my first troubleshooting step so instinctively went for it). 2. Made a microadjustment of +1 contrast on one photo and then did "sync settings" and copied that single adjustment to ALL photos. This virtually ALWAYS worked to "kick in" the syncing feature in the past. 3. Deleted all photos from sync'd folders then added them back. The "new" photos (added since whenever this problem started) did not show up after all was sync'd again. I thought of just deleting all sync data as they say you can do in the Adobe Prefs pane, but says to do online. There used to be an optio

My Pixel phone shoots RAW & jpg.  When I try to save files from Lightroom Mobile, I get only jpegs to send.  Is there a way to get RAW files to my desktop PC with using Lightroom cloud ?  

Previous to 1-2 months ago: 1. enter keyword2. realize I made error3. undo4. type in correct keyword and undoing removed bad keyword from list Now1.-3. same4. type in correct and as I'm typing, error keyword is predicted until I "override" prediction by finishing corectly typed keyword.In this latter case, both correct and incorrect keywords have added to my already-too-long list, and needs to be manually removed.  This has slowed my workflow since I rely heavily on keywording to database my images and if I don't stop and delete each error keyword from list, it'll always be in there, temping me on the next use to use the error instead of correct. Is this a bug? Did it come with a new update? Maybe I should just enter more carefully? 😕😕Any help would be greatly appreciated and could hopefully help others. Thanks!Max in Queens 

Hello all. Recently I've noticed that when importing images from an SD card the time it takes to import a relatively small number of images is incredibly slow - around 15-20 minutes for 30 images.I'm using a MacBook Pro M3. I've checked that graphics processor is turned on, optimised the catalog and checked that everything is updated to the latest version but to no avail. The catalog is stored on the MBP hard drive, not external and import is from SD card to SSD external hard drive.Any ideas of things to try would be gratefully appreciated.

Hello, I recently updated to LR Classic 13.3 and I noticed that while working with masks specifically the brush option Lightroom is slow and nonresponsive at times. I have had absolutely no issues with masking at all before 13.3. Windows 1064 gigs of Ram Rysen 7 2700 8 core NVidia Geforce 6 gig 1650

After Synchronizing a LR Folder, LR should return the user to the same Folder. Currently LR deselects the active Folder and the user must re-navigate to the working Folder.This will speed up the workflow. I usually have dozens of Folders (sessions) each with 3-5 sub-folders, within the catalog so scrolling through them to get back to the working Folder (session) is a tedious time consuming process.Upvote if you want LR to be more user friendly and faster to use. Corporate photographer based in Calgary, Canada and Oviedo, Spain.

I can no longer create a collection in Lightroom classic. It is updated to the current version. I click the + sign like I use to do but nothing happens. Help    [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]

Bonjour, auparavant quand on avait une pile de photos créée dans LR on line on la retrouvait dans LRC. or, maintenant ces informations sont perdues. comment faire pour qu'une pile créée sur LR avec des photos importée sur LR soit retrouvée lorsque les photos remontent ensuite sur LRC ? c'est particulèrement ennuyeux quand on a créé une pile automatiquement lors d'une fusion. D'ailleurs je trouve que la gestiondes piles dans LR est étrange : on ne les voit que en mode "toute les photos" mais pas avec des filtres.
