Questions

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?

Hi, lately I noticed that LR doesnt show previews in the library module for many of my photos. It did not even build them without "force" - I had to select the image and then after some time, the preview was built. I deleted the complete preview folder, but the problem persisted. SOME photos got their preview rebuild nearly instantly when I scrolled through the library, others refused to show their preview. Task manager showed LR idling at 0.5 to 0% CPU (and I DO have a nice machein!)Playing around I at least found WHICH images are the problem: Metadata -> Develop presets. ALL images WITH (any) develop preset work as exprected, previews created ultra fast. All image without preset have problems with preview.Questions:1. Anybody else with this problem?2. Any "workaround"? Like adding a "dummy" preset to all images with no preset?3. Is it a bug or something corrupted in my catalog?

Bonjour, Je cherche à mieux comprendre les nouvelles conditions d'utilisations des services Adobe, et notamment ce point : 4.1 Contenu. Le terme « Contenu » désigne tout texte, toute information, toute communication ou tout matériel, tel que les fichiers audio ou vidéo, les documents électroniques ou les images, que vous téléchargez, importez, intégrez dans les Services ou les Logiciels ou créez à l’aide de ces derniers. Cela inclut-il les photos stockées localement que l'on importe dans Lightroom Classic ? La formulation est très ambiguë et laisse entendre que oui. Or les droits que s'attribue Adobe sur le-dit contenu sont quand même assez étendus. Cela pourrait sembler justifié pour le contenu sur le cloud, mais plutôt abusif pour le contenu local. Et qu'en est-il des nouvelles fonctionnalités d'IA génératives ?  Si une petite partie de notre photo a été retouchée avec la nouvelle gomme IA par exemple, la photo entière devient-elle automatiquement d

Hi,I know that starting with the May 2024 release of Lightroom Classic (version 13.3), listed Sony cameras are now supported for tether capture. Has anyone SONY camera users able to tether it? My current camera is Sony A7C II, firmware 1.02, Lightroom Classic v13.3, as promised but has failed to do so. Suggestion please...

I see a massive difference between a picture in Library module and Develop module.  The picture in Develop mode is what I am looking for, with all the tweaks I've made, but the library view is close to as shot.   I've attached examples below.  It's not just one picture either.  it appears to be across my whole catalog.  I have turned on lens correction on import.  It's almost as if Lightroom has forgotten my edits when I leave develop mode. Further, the picture exports as it looks in Library, not Develop as I would expect.  I've tried exporting with different color spaces (Adobe RGB, ProPhoto RGB and sRGB) and nothing changes. I'm running the latest update for Lr Classic (13.2) and Windows 11 Home is up to date as well.  I've searched through the community and haven't found an answer that fits for me , so I'm bringing my problem in with the hope someone can tell me what the issue is.     

Bonjour, je voulais tenter de fusionner des photos faites en bracketing, et tous les sites et vidéos disent en coeur qu'il suffit de sélectionner les photos dans Lightroom, de cliquer droit et de cliquer sur "Fusion de photos". OK, super facile, mais que fait-on quand "Fusion de photos" n'existe pas dans le menu photos ? et pourquqoi cette fonctionnalité n'apparait-elle pas ? (je suis sur Lightroom 5.7.1 à jour) Merci pour vos éclairages.

Video playback performance in Lightroom Classic CC is generally bad and usually degrades after attempting to playback a few videos. Playback is typically choppy, even with relatively lightweight HD files, and especially with UHD or 4K+ content. The video will often stutter when playing, sometimes skipping large sections of video, or playing at a low frame rate and other times completely failing to playback the visuals all while the audio finishes playing. Video in Lightroom Classic usually also appears very low quality when attemting to playback, usually playing at lower resolution with lots of jaggies / aliasing.  Lightroom Classic has advertised a lot of useful video tools (see: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/help/video-lightroom.html) that are nearly impossible to use properly due to its inability to playback video properly. This issue has been persistent in LRC for years, across multiple systems and any catalog with more than a few videos in it. 

How to reproduce: 1) Open the develop module2) Select a Collection3) Right click and select: "Export this Collection as a catalog..."4) Select a folder5) Select options to export raw files too6) Click on the export button7) Do something else, Lightroom may fail the export with "Lightroom was unable to export the catalog due to an unexpected failure." System info below: Lightroom Classic version: 13.3 [ 202405092057-40441e28 ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: enOperating system: Windows 10 - Home Premium EditionVersion: 10.0.19045Application architecture: x64System architecture: x64Logical processor count: 16Processor speed: 3.1GHzSqLite Version: 3.36.0CPU Utilisation: 5.0%Power Source: Plugged In, 255% Built-in memory: 32659.9 MBDedicated GPU memory used by Lightroom: 5133.6MB / 12026.0MB (42%)Real memory available to Lightroom: 32659.9 MBReal memory used by Lightroom: 3989.1 MB (12.2%)Virtual memory used by Lightroom: 9957.1 MBGDI objects count: 806USER obje

Hello Since its last update, LC is driving me crazy with metadata. I write, over and over again, the title and caption... and they disappear! It's random, some images keep the metadata and others don't. It also does strange things when trying to synchronize metadata (title, caption and keywords, mainly). Please Adobe, this is NOT serious and it is wasting an impressive amount of time. It's unfuriating!

Using LR Classic 13.3 (Windows 11) in Develop mode, I'm pressing Control+U to execute the Auto Settings function of the Basic editing panel.  When I do so, a "Choose Folder" dialog is presented, instead of Auto Settings being applied to the selected image.  (Since I'm not sure why it is asking for a folder, and what it would do to or with my images if I choose one, my response has been to cancel.) The same occurs if I have multiple images selected when I press Control+U. The Control+U shortcut is listed as "Auto Settings" in the Develop Shortcuts pop-up (Control-?) and in the LR Classic Keyboard shortcuts help page updated May 21, 2024.  What am I missing?

I am trying to get a better understanding of what LRC does when I print an image. According to Adobe Help (https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/help/color-management.html), DRAFT printing is done using Adobe RGB, so I have to assume that for regular printing, ProPhoto RGB is used. However, my printer (Epson SC-P800) does NOT have ProPhoto RGB as an input color space option (in the "Mode" setting in the printer dialog). Given this discrepancy, how can printing using the setting "Profile - Managed by printer" ever be expected to give an accurate print?FYI: I am using LRC: v 13.3 on Windows 11-23H2Thanks, Adriaan Sachtler

the release notes simply state, that a new preview method is now in use but does not provide any details.What I have found is that for every photo in the catalog, there are now multiple preview files. The naming of these files implies, that various sizes are created: *_90, *_180, *_360, *_720, *_1440, *_2880 or *_105, *_210, *_420, *_840, *_1680, *_3360 or *_320, *_1024, *_2048, *_4096, *_8192I presume these numbers corrispond to the pixel size of the previews.And I assume, that all of these different previews are being updated every time a photo is developed - which adds quite a lot of processing to the creation of the previews and on the other hand presumably improves preformance when in library module. Hopefully the performance improvements warrant that. What I find a somewhat bad design decision, is that the preview files do not have a file suffix anymore. This makes it very difficult to exclude these new previews from backup software, also b

 Using  iMac 24" M1 chip Sonoma v. 14.5.  LrC v. 13.3.   Lots of beachballing which seems to start after using the program for a while.  Also, the brush intermittently shows strokes when using the mask and at times doesn't show them at all.  Sometimes the strokes show up after a long period of lagging which makes it impossible to figure out where you are on an image.  On a good note, the eyedropper seems to work when on WB now.  Camera Raw limit was set to 10 and have increased it to 20 to see if that makes a difference (saw this suggestion in an older post).  Everything was working fine prior to the latest update.   System Info: Lightroom Classic version: 13.3 [ 202405092057-40441e28 ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: enOperating system: Mac OS 14Version: 14.5.0 [23F79]Application architecture: arm64Logical processor count: 8Processor speed: NASqLite Version: 3.36.0Built-in memory: 16,384.0 MBDedicated GPU memory used by Lightro

Hi, I am new to Lightroom, but have experience in PS. I have an HDR image that was created in Lightroom from 5 bracketed photos. When I go to apply a mask to a specific area of the photo, I follow these steps:Click on Masking button on the right, in the Develop tab (or shift+W)Click BrushPaint my maskNow, when I do the last step, the part that I just masked changes - it's like I applied increased exposure to the masked part. But, I didn't. I haven't toushed any settings yet.It's not the Overlay (thats red).When I exit the masking tool, it's still there.This has happened on several different photos - both HDR and not HDR.It's like LR is arbtrarily changing settings before I apply a mask, but I can't find a way to set it back to 'baseline'. In PS, if I create a mask on a layer without any changes done yet, and use the brush tool to paint my mask, the photo doesn't change - only after I say, for example, change Curves. This is what I expect to happen in LR as
