Questions

Bonsoir à toute la communauté, je rencontre un problème au lancement de Lightroom Classic depuis les deux dernières mises à a jour. J'ai un message qui me signale un problème de droits d'utilisateurs (voir capture écran ci-dessous. Je ne peux pas faire de correction automatique si je clique sur "continuer" le logiciel se lance et je peux travailler dessus. Mais à chaque ouverture de Lightroom, même message. Je n'ai rien changé entre les autres versions installées sur mon mac, cela ne se produit qu'avec Lightroom. Si jamais l'un d'entre-vous a rencontré ce problème et trouvé une solution simple pour se dépanner, je suis preneuse. Merci d'avance pour vos réponses (l'aide d'Adobe ne m'a rien apportée !). Bonne soirée, cordialement

Since updating to 13.3, everything has slowed down to an unworkable situation. Flagging images is even a huge challenge! Plug in to Topaz is crashing. Movement between images in develop & library mode is delayed.  Please advise where adobe is with corrections? Having to roll back to the previous version. Losing work in the process.....   

I stupidly updated only to find that it completely screwed up my system.   lrc 13.3 m1 MBP 16, macos sonoma 14.5   Issues: the develop module seems mostly OK, except undo doesn't work.  The library module seems VERY slow and buggy At first I noticed that when I flagged/rejected a photo, it didn't show up.  I just continued and then noticed that the flags/rejects were taking minutes to show up.   Undo doesn't work or takes minutes closing the app takes 5+ minutes (without optimizing) and it hangs plug-in extras wont launch topaz photo ai applying auto setting does nothing or takes minutes cant synchronize folder, it just hangs it seems like everything I touch is laggy and buggy.   I have uninstalled and reinstalled I started a new catalog and imported my old one (took all night)  i deleted my previews reset my settings   I am at a loss.  Does anyone have any ideas for my to try?  Do i just put off using the app u

Hola, necesito ayuda. Tenía una colección en Lightroom Classic, la sincronicé en la nube y edité todas las fotos en Lightroom, ahora quiero volver a trabajar con esas fotos en Lightroom Classic, ¿qué debo hacer para que me aparezcan en la colección original de Ligtroom Classic, pero con las ediciones realizadas en Ligtroom?

AAAArgh. Have duplicated Lightroom etc on hard drive and uploaded to new PC. Where are the presets??? Bit tired of looking for answers on internet. Is there a human out there that can answer questions?

Since I updated LR classic to v13.1 the program crashes very often without leaving an error message or else. It happens merely after a short pause during which a certain action (skip picture, edit picture .. anything thats needs LR to react on my actions on the screen. When restarting LR goes back to the point where you started before the crash. Clearly no saving has happened during the session that crashed. It is very annoying as it happens at least 3 times an hour when just scrolling, looking and doing almost nothing. Next to that deleting a picture may result in a blanc icon that cannot be entered. This blanc is removed after closing and restarting LR.I tried to go back to an old version but since the version of the library has been upgraded with 13.1 this gives problems reading the library. So I upgraded again to 13.1 which, in contrast with the error messages stating it was not possible, happened anyway. Also the crashes started again after reinstalling v13.1.My feeling

A simple question (?) just want to make sure I understand how things work..... After syncing a collection of images from LrC (to be used in Adobe Portfolio), if I turn off the sync, the files in Lightrrom.Adobe.com will remain, but just not be updated with any subsequent edits. Is that correct? Running ver 13.2 on a PC Thanks

Masking in Lightroom no longer works

Since updating to the latest version fo lightroom classic, none of the AI masks work. They are there to be selected but when selected it says analysing then they drop off. Nothing happens. I have updated AI masks in the develop tab. Nothing is working. HELP

After updating lightroom classic to the latest version, when I open an existing catalog on an external drive, it forces me to upgrade this catalog.  After that is done, I am not able to open the newly upgraded catalog.  It will just hang there for 10-15min.  The catalog has about 1tb of images and the drive is fairly new and rarely used.  I have tried it 3 times already with the same result.  Panicking here that I will be losing my previous work.

I was originally using the Lightroom Cloudbased app on PC. I switched to LRc about 6 months ago. I uninstalled the cloudbased app today cleaning up update notifications.But When I opened LRc, a catalogue couldn't be found. I searched all drives and only LRCAT file found was in users\pictures, but it was created today and no photos show up etc. There's nothing in the recyle bin and no recent files.Would it have been saving to cloudbased catalogue the whole time and is there a way to find that? Thanks for help

My father died. I copied his catalog (which is a mess) and his files to an external drive. I attach the drive to my PC, launch the catalog, Update Folder Location... to let LrC know that the dirve letter is now F: Once I've relocated all of the folders, I try to synchronize one of the top level folders on F: and it finds about  7,000 missing unimported photos. If I hit import it imports WAY more than 7,000, including photos on the C: drive (I stopped it at about 30,00). Same happens if I go to the folder and choose Add in the import dialog box. I figured that there must be a symbolic link in one of the directories but if I bring up a command prompt (as Admin) and dir /AL /S f:\ I get File Not Found I'm on Windows 11 (LrC 13.3). Any ideas?

Unfortunately I updated to a "banana-version" of LRC. I am no longer workable. Zooming to 33% results in an application crash. Using the new advertised AI-feature for removing distractions, the progress stops reproducible at 75%.   I want the very stable and working older version back. How can I organize a rollback? All answers are welcome! My OS is Windows 10.

Here's my context: I created a collection made in LrC with photos that are synced with Creative Cloud.I can see this collection and its photos accross all platforms: Lightroom Web, Lightroom macOS Desktop, Lightroom iOS and Lightroom ipadOS.All development changes made on these photos in LrC are synced as expected with Creative Cloud and visible accross my whole Lightroom ecosystem. Here's my problem:When I change a development setting in every Lightroom but LrC, this change is not synced back to the photo in LrC. Here's my configurations: macOS 14.5 (MacBook Air M2 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD)Lightroom Classic 13.3Lightroom 7.3 ipadOS 17.5.1 (iPad Pro M4 512 GB SSD)Lightroom 9.3.1 iOS 17.5.1 (iPhone 12 Pro Max 256 GB SSD)Lightroom 9.3.1

Hi i have a new canon r10  and copied photos from this to my pc, when i tried to import to Lightroom but the thumbnail pics say  preview unavailable when I do the import it says files appear to be unsupported or damaged.  Apparently lightroom is up to date, what is required to fix this. Thank you 

I am installing LrC on my Windows 11 PC, this is my initial install.I have run the Import function as described in the online instructions, to create the catalogue.No filters are on, include subfolders is ticked.Over 300 of my folders have not been picked up in the catalogue process.My folders are mostly labelled in the format "yyyy mm dd", plus a few folders with random names. None of the folders after "2021 10 09" have been included in the catalogue.Why are they not included and how do I get them into the catalogue?

Filtering folders and collections by entering text in the field above the folder or collection hierarchy in the panel on the left no longer works. When I enter a text, the result always remains empty. I'm not sure how long this has been the case. It could coincide with the upgrade to version 13.Filtering by color, synchronization or favorites does not work either.I have created a collection set to test this: If I filter for "Teneriffa", "Porto", "2022", "2023" or for "collections marked yellow", I should get hits. However, the results list always remains empty. Here, for example, is the result when I filter for yellow collections: Is there perhaps a setting somewhere that I have inadvertently changed?I would be really grateful if someone could give me a tip. BRThomas  

The Issue:My photos refused to sync across devices, for some reason pushing a new sync then freezing at 140 images.Three agents, three screenshares, and no solution. They actually hung up when they realized they couldnt easily fix it.Tech Team Mirage:Agent #4 promised to escalate to the tech team.Weeks passed—no updates, no magic.Epilogue: Silence:This is my job. I need Lightroom to function. Im editing on my tablet to circumvent this all right now.

We've just gotten the new category "exported files". I have multiple user presets for exporting. Is it possible to make it so a user could choose a subcategory such as: exported files>instagram. That way we could search deeper and also make a "collection" of a specific type of export.? I suggest this because I'd like to keep track of what images I've posted to social media, etc.

I'm running Lightroom Classic V13.3 on a 2019 iMac using Sonoma 14.1.1.  Since updating to the latest LRc version, the system locks up (unable to add or delete) when editing keywords for specific images.  This problem seems to get worse the longer my LRc session runs.  I generally do a shutdown w/o backing up and that fixes the problem for a while.  I've also shut down with backup but that doesn't seem to resolve the issue.  I've been working on LRc for nearly 2 hours this morning and this problem has occurred about 7 times; it was probably 40 minutes before this first happened in todays session.  

I am using the latest version of LrC 13.3, Mac OS Sonoma 14.5, and Canon R5 Firmware v 2.0.0. When shooting tethered LrC is unable to detect camera. I have tried rolling back to LrC 13.2 and it worked for a while and failed again. However, EOS Utility is able to detect the camera, no issue. PS. I tried tethering to my windows laptop using LrC 13.3, the same cable and they are working fine. Anyone using Macbook facing the same issue and is there a solution?

I am looking for workflow suggestions when working with large quanities of images.  I shoot action photography.  One event my have 2000+ images in the camera.  I usually favorite my images using Canon's 5 star rating in the camera.  I don't believe there is a way to import only the starred images in Lightroom.  If I am wrong, please help me discover how to do this.  I rarely need to import all 2000+ images, so it seems like a waste of time and space.   I tried using Bridge, but am not familiar with the application.  I was able to filter only the starred images in Bridge, but then it appears I need to export them to a folder and then import them into Lightroom.   There has to be a better way.  No?  

Hi everyone, ive recently moved my workflow from working with lightroom classic and importing photos into an external drive to just importing the photos to the cloud on a ipad. However now that my online storage is almost full, i want to move a batch of photos into my external as backup and clear the cloud storage. Is there an easy way to do this? Thanks

I'm trying to use Lightroom Classic but every time I launch it, it says "The Lightroom Catalog "Lightroom Catalog" is corrupt and cannot be used until it is repaired." As it repairs, it crashes halfway through and doesn't do anything. I was wondering if anyone knows how to fix this?
