Questions

My catalogue has become degraded and there is a huge mismatch with the photos file. what should I do 

My experience with LR Classic face detection is - unfortunately - abysmal.Yes, it detects (most) faces.No, it gives not always proposals - even for faces that are shown in sufficient resolution and from people who have been correctly tagged in the catalogue hundreds if not thousands of times. Just a "?" appears.Proposals for faces where the hit rate should be 99.99% are often not correct and need manual input. It is beyond me how in the age of AI and face recognition (China, cough) this feature is almost completely useless in LRC. Is this any better in Lightroom Mobile? If so, can detected and tagged faces be transferred to LRC?

I suddenly started having this problem when I try to export photos.  During the export process, as soon as I click the button to select the folder to export to, Lightroom freezes.  It freezes to the point where I have to completly restart my PC to get Lightroon working again.  I am on Windows 10 and am running the latest version of Lightroom.  Any suggestions?  I need to get this fixed ASAP.  Everything else seams to be working fine, develope module, etc.Thanks,Rich

Due to an mistake I made,I lost all the original presets in lightroom.Can I find them somewhere on the internet?  

Hello. I have been using Lightroom for... MANY years. Never had any problems. Today i noticed that when none of my imported photos from the last weeks are in the folders they supposedly should go to. When i import i get my photos organizes by date inside the main folder. I tried to look for the problem and they are being "imported" to the camera card. I mean, the camera card appears as a folder in the left panel and the photos are there. I tried to change the automatic import options and choose a folder - didn't work. I tried changing the import folder in the right side menu in the import pannel but there is no import folder option tehre etc etc etc... I looked at many online answers etc... I am desperate and that's why i am bothering you guys. It used to be so simple =/ Can you please help me?

As above both programmes are so slow. They freeze and lag whenever trying to edit. Could it be that one of the hard drives is not an SSD? At a whits end with what the issue could be.    System settings below, any ideas welcome.    <span;>Lightroom Classic version: 13.1 [ 202312111226-41a494e8 ]<span;>License: Creative Cloud<span;>Language setting: en<span;>Operating system: Windows 11 - Home Premium Edition<span;>Version: 11.0.22621<span;>Application architecture: x64<span;>System architecture: x64<span;>Logical processor count: 16<span;>Processor speed: 3.5GHz<span;>SqLite Version: 3.36.0<span;>CPU Utilisation: 1.0%<span;>Built-in memory: 16295.2 MB<span;>Dedicated GPU memory used by Lightroom: 2409.9MB / 8038.0MB (29%)<span;>Real memory available to Lightroom: 16295.2 MB<span;>Real memory used by Lightroom: 1819.8 MB (11.1%)<span;>Virtual memory used by Lightroom: 4923.

Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me. I'm new to Lightroom Classic, and have been using Lightroom CC for a few years. Anyway, I tried exporting all my CC presets and importing them into Lightroom Classic, and it worked but not entirely. The preset pack I use the most (ironically) is only showing 2 of the 8 presets in the pack. When I try reimporting, it says all presets have already been imported. I did try reading some previous posts and attempting to problem solve based on that, but haven't had any luck. Here's what I did try:- Deleting and reimporting- Importing a RAW photo and seeing if they'd pop up- Making sure all presets were selected as visible in "Manage Presets"- Selecting "Show Partially Compatible Develop Presets" in Lightroom Preferences > Presets Thank you in advance! Again, I'm new to Lightroom CC so could be something really simple I'm unaware of!

  Tengo un problema. Al reducir ruido con IA, el DNG que crea sale morado. Tengo la versión 13.2 con Windows 11 actualizado.

When I attempt to laod Lightroom Classic it opens OK, but then a grey overlay appears on the screen and I cannot access the program. I need to shut down the program via Task Manager. 

Guten Abend in die Runde.Ich bin gerade unterwegs und wollte wie immer meine Bilder bearbeiten, welche ich in Form von 1:1-Vorschauen auf meinem Laptop mit mir führe. Jedoch steht da wenn ich auf die Datei klicke, das die Datei fehlt, bzw. die Originaldatei nicht gefunden werden kann.Ich hatte jetzt schon probiert, dass Problem zu lösen, in dem ich meine HDD wieder anschließe, und erneut Smart-Vorschauen generieren lasse. Jedoch tritt das oben genannte Problem weiterhin auf.Bin dankbar für jede Hilfe 🙂Beste Grüße Timo Hellmuth

Recently started using CF Express cards (with USB card reader) and LR Classic seems to treat them differently from the CF and SD cards I've used previously: LRC no longer remembers my last-used Import Preset (please note: bottom of Import dialog, NOT "metadata preset"). Unlike CF or SD cards, I have to re-select this every time.It also doesn't pre-highlight the newly-inserted card on the left side (Source) panel of the Import dialog. I have to manually click on the drive letter for the CF Express card. Once highlighted, it doesn't see any subfolder of the CF Express card (unlike CF or SD). I have to manually click the "Select Subfolders" button every time.Finally, the option to Eject when finished is not available for CF Express cards. Besides just being annoying - these differences are making my import workflow slower and more error-prone.  Basically, I think this is all due to Windows 10 seeing the CF Express card as a removable Hard Drive - NOT as a memory c

As the title says LR gradually slows as I edit after about twenty photos it is basically unusable if close reopen or give it a break it seems to figure itself out. I have tried messing with the RAW cache right now I have it up to 100GB which seems extreme. The catalog and cache are on a m.2 drive. I have tried playing around with graphics card settings turning them off on running in auto and have done all the usual changes except switching to smart previews but since it works okay initially that seems like that would not necessarily fix it. The only thing I am seeing in task manager is high GPU utilization and I do a lot of masking so could it be my GPU just can't keep up with all the new AI features? Open to ideas. The computer is Ryzen 3600 32G ram sabrent m.2 and 2060 12g and 4k monitors. The photos are craw from an R7.

When using the background mask or gradient mask, it makes that area extremely over saturated. This is hapeing on all catalogs and from all cameras and lenses. I even went back to a past catalog I edited last week which was working fine when I edited it, and now its doing hte same over saturate dthing when I select the backgroud. HELP!

I am working on a desktop and a laptop. My Catalog is saved on and external SSD. The photos are located on my desktop but laptop is also connected to this drive over wifi, this worked fine and I never had problems. Yesterday it came with an error and that the catalog was corrupted, I thought I fixed it by going back to a backup but now the same happens again and all the edits I did yesterday are gone and I need to update all AI Masks that are still there....

I have an issue when I right light in LRC 13.2 and select to "edit in adobe photoshop 2024". Then in photoshop all I am doing is removing some background rubbish using the ai generation tool. Finally I save and then I find the edited tiff file is on the disk but does not reload in LRC. Usually the images do load back but now and then they do not for some reason. I have photoshop window open and LRC so I can see the save is complete. in LRC, after photoshop save is complete I see the LRC screen screen go blank and only have the original file below in the filmstrip but not edited version anywhere.

in previous versions of photoshop and lightroom cc i was able to bounce back and forth from lightroom and photoshop while editing a photo now that seems not possible if there is a way i would like to know how?

When I open Lightroom (Mac) I can't import any kind of photo. When I click on "Import file" it appears this.If I try to search this folder on my laptop it doesn't exist anymore. Can someone help me?I tried to re-install lightroom, to reset settings, to install a new version of lightroom or an older one.I tried to change the permission of account and users for lightroom but nothing helped. I don't know waht to do anymore and I have a near deadline for some work...

I have older macbook whis mac OS Catalina 10.15.7 and i cant instal older version of Lr Classic from Creative Cloud

I am sure i broke it some how 😞 As you can see it adds a 2024 foldr under 2024.  Where cn I change this?    

I purchased Lightroom 6 (not CC) and have a serial number for it. I just purchased a new laptop and want to install. Went to My Account and Orders, and downloaded from that link. Everything downloaded fine, but when I went to enter my serial number and I got this response in a yellow box: This serial number is not for a qualifying product. Please try another. Underneath there is a dropbox with a selection, however, the list of "qualifying products" is Lightroom 1-5! What the heck is going on? I don't understand why this download from my account isn't working... can anyone help?

Bonjour à toutes et à tous,Aprés un fonctionnement parfais jusqu'à présent. Tout ce qui comporte un lien avec l'IA se termine par une erreure dans lightroom. Que ça soit le débruitage, le flou d'objectif ou certains "presets". L'analyse commece et renvoie sustématiquement une erreure "Une erreure inatendue s'est produite et la demande n'a pu être traitée". J'ai réinitialisé toutes les options à l'état par défaut, rien n'a changé. J'ai réinstallé LrC, pas de changement. Au niveau matériel, rien n'est changé depuis des mois (même si mon système est un peu faible, ça a touours fonctionné raisonablement). Peut-être une mise à jour de windows 11 ??? La derniére mise à jour effectuée est la "2024-04 Mise à jour cumulative pour Windows 11 Version 24H2 pour les systèmes x64 (KB5036908)".Merci d'avance pour des pistes de résulution du probléme eventuelles.

Recent updates to LR and PS to most current versions on my M1 Studio desk top has severed the connections between the two applications. In my LR preferences dialouge box for external editors, LR states that it can not find Photoshop, and therefore I can not entere a version in the selection box.  PS runs independetly just fine.  Topaz plug ins are still recognized but not PS. How to re connect so I can 'edit in' PS again.  Thanks   Also I have dumped and reinstalled fresh versions of both LR and PS to try and correct the situations  to no avail.  THanks again in advance for any help offered.    [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]

For some reason when people are masked there is this horrible pixely mess around the edge.  Not sure why this should be so.Like Capture One can there not be some control over tidying this up.  They have refine! Also you could blend the edge better and give us some control as it's time consuming to do it by hand.  Almost quicker to select the person by hand first, which defeats the objects of the auto mask!

Il semble y avoir un bug dans l'utilisation de courbes de tonalité sur LrC (version 13.2 sur un macbook pro 2015 en macOS 12.7.4) : lorsque l'on clique pour créer un point sur la courbe et qu'on le déplace pour ajust er les tonalités, le curseur revient à sa position initiale une fois la souris relâchée... Pas moyen de faires réglages sans entrer une valeur en input et en output. Merci d'avance pour des proposition de solution
