Bonjour,  Lorsque j'exporte mes photos, je n'ai que des photos de carrés de couleur dans le dossier 

I made an adjustment preset that included a centered, circular radial gradient mask. When I apply the preset to a photo captured in a different orientation (portrait), the gradient changes to an ellipse. The issue depends on the orientation of the original photo from which the preset was based. If I make another preset using a portrait orientation image, then it becomes elliptical when applied to an image captured in landscape orientation.   The distortion also occurs when using a simple copy/paste mask command between landscape and portrait images.    Screen shots attached showing the mask overlay of a circular gradient created on a landscape orientation photo and then applied to a portrait orientation photo.    Mac OS Sonoma 14.4.1Lightroom Classic v13.2 

Lately, everytime I log into Lightroom, it asks me to "Upgrade the Catalog".  If I do this, it reverts back to my original version, and I lose about 5 years worth of images.  Fortunately I have been able to find the last version I used, but this is tedious and very stress inducing.  How do I stop this message, and what is the proper way to get back the version I need?  Right now I am just stumbling through steps.  I have a Windows 10 system. Please help! Linda

HI all. I'm trying to install Enblend (in order to be able to use the Enfuse plug-in), but the weird thing is that when I click on the .exe file that I found inside the downloaded folder, it simply doesn't respond. I tried downloading as a system admi, tried the compatibility options (installing for an older version) - nothing's working. It just doens't do anything. Anyone have this? I really just need to be able to use the Enfuse plugin in Lightroom!!!

This has happened to me about a dozen times now over a couple months...   I'll be running Denoise from the Develop module, the computer will get maybe halfway into it, then just shut down.  No warning or anything, just shuts down.  When it restarts it doesnt even give me that "your computer shut down due to an error" message or anything.   Running 2017 iMac, Radeon Pro 580 GB GPU, 40 MB ram, Ventura 13.6.3.  Lightroom Classic 13.2  Sony A7R4 ARW Raw files. Anyone else have this?

I have using LRC  and taking regular backups every time I quit Lightroom.. Recently my catalog seems to have been corrupted. When I tried to restore the most recent backup the only backup files I can find  in the Pictures/Lightroom/Backups folder are very old ones. I can't understand where the most recent backups have gone.

Buenas no me deja instalar presets estan en formato XMP me podrian ayudar? gracias. {Moved from Lightroom Cloud to Lightroom Classic Forum by Moderator}

 Hello, I want to move a Lr Catalog to a new disk with a larger capacity. To do this, I use the Free File Sync software, which verifies the copy of each file. I can't copy the catalog because of the previews subdirectories for which I can't change the access rights in Windows. Here's the Free File Sync error message (translated in English):Unable to open directory "V:\4 Catalogue Lightroom ...\Catalogue Lightroom ...\Catalogue Lightroom ...-v13 Previews.lrdata\3\365F".ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED: Access denied. [DirReaderPlus] Here is the error message from windows to modify access rights (translated in English):An error has occurred while applying security information to .../0008C4.... Container object enumerator failed. Access denied Here's the procedure I'm trying to follow to restore access rights, but it doesn't work for the Lightroom previews sub-directories: https://www.minitool.com/data-recovery/access-is-denied.html What should I do? best regards,&nb

LR Classic: If I move all of my photos from one external drive to a new external drive within Light Room, will all of my collections and book projects still work?

It is nice being back on lightroom after leaving following LR 5 and the move to the subscription service.  There are other options out there but none put it all together with photo management and editing in one package as well as LRC. I remember the early days beta testing along with Aperature - and buying books for each lightroom version.  I enjoyed the books as much for the photgraphy as the lightoom content.  Books by authors like Martin Evening; Mikkel Aaland; Scott Kelby and Victoria Bramption.   I assume I am not the only one that has amassed a collection over the years.  I still have a soft spot for the Photoshop Lightroom Advenuture from 2007.  Anyone else have a favourite? Cheers!

My iMac just can't run LRC anymore. The CPU is freezing up everything, even moving the exposure slider is delayed and useless.  I have 3.4 Quad-Core i5Radeon Pro 570 4GB card32GB RAMRunning Ventura 13.6.3 I've deleted the library, closed all other programs when using, rebooted, freed up RAM - even with just LRC running, CPU freezes the whole system. I need some help 😞 Thanks!

The value of LR_DNG_previewSize does not affect the output dng file.Value of large/medium/none all renders the same output, which appears to be medium. This used to work before version 13.2 13.2OS Version Number: os X sonoma 14.2.1 (23C71)Steps to reproduce:   exportSettings = { LR_DNG_compatibility = 117506048, LR_DNG_compressed = true, LR_DNG_conversionMethod = "preserveRAW", LR_DNG_embedCache = true, LR_DNG_embedRAW = false, LR_DNG_lossyCompression = true, LR_DNG_previewSize = "large", LR_embeddedMetadataOption = "all", LR_exportServiceProvider = "com.adobe.ag.export.file", LR_format = "DNG", } local session = LrExportSession({ photosToExport = selected_photos, exportSettings = exportSettings, }) for i, rendition in session:renditions() do local success, pathOrMessage = rendition:waitForRender() end Expected result: DNG with a "large" embedded" jpeg in "PreviewImage" in metadata.Actua

Hey y'all, So for some reason Lightroom Classic is not giving me the option to click on the "Simulate Paper & Ink" while I'm Soft Proofing a photo. Any suggestions???                        Thanks,  Nick D.   {Moved from Lightroom Cloud to Lightroom Classic Forum by Moderator} 

Hi. Can anyone confirm how many slider options there should be in develop - colour - presence as I'm sure there are less than I used to have.  Currently have texture, clarity, dehaze and vibrance, saturation . Are there more options? I have version 13.2 on a Mac. Many thanks

I am trying to copy photos to a new external hard drive. The photos are greyed out. In some cases the entire file is greyed out and in other cases only some photos are greyed out. these are files and photos that are not in the new hard drive. What am I doing wrong?

I just got a new macbook pro with sonoma 14.4.1 and when i zoom in in LRC and move the image around it stutters very hard and runs not smooth at all. My 300€ laptop does it smooth even. I redownloaded sonoma and resetted my mac. I have 96gb of ram and the m3 max chip. I really don't know anymore

Buongiorno,ho bisogno di aiuto.Mentre stavo lavorando in lightroom il mio Mac si è bloccato e riavviato. Dopo il riavvio la cartella su HD esterno dove viene salvato il catalogo è completamente vuota e, ovviamente, Lightroom non trova più il catalogo. Non trovo nemmeno i file dei backup automatici.Ho provato a cercare i file cancellati nel cestino e in altri modi ma non ce ne è traccia da nessuna parte.Qualcuno ha qualche suggerimento?Grazie in anticipo

The printing resulte are very random.I am using a macBook Pro,   macOS: Sonoma 14.4.1Attached a screen shot.Can someboday give an advice to find a workaround to get back to the original printer driver?Best Jk

Ich habe seit einigen Wochen das Problem, dass wenn ich länger in Lightroom arbeite der ganze Bildschirm sich verschiebt bzw. alles doppelt angezeigt wird und bei jeder Änderungen (Schieberegler bewegen) wird der Bildschirm schwarz. Erst wenn ich zu Photoshop wechsel und wieder zurück, wird der Bildschirm kurzzeitig wieder normal. So kann man unmöglich damit arbeiten!

Hi. I am using LRC 13.2 with Mac OS Sonoma 14.4.1.In an attempt to free up storage space on my internal drive I used the Finder to copy image files from a Folder A on my internal drive to a Folder A on an external SSD drive. LRC displays these files along with their metadata on the SSD drive. Using the Finder I then moved Folder A from my internal drive to a separate external drive, Drive B. The Finder shows the image files from Folder A existing on Drive B. In the folder window in LRC I see both the SSD Drive and Drive B. While I can see Drive B displayed in the folder window in LRC there is no Folder A visible nor is the Parent Folder holding Folder A visible. When I attempt to import Folder A into Drive B in LRC the images all display in the import window but are grayed out. How do I get LRC to recognize the image files in Folder A on Drive B?Thank you in advance for any help with this.-Firislander

Como e onde consigo instalar alguma versao do Lightroom Classic para o MacOS Catalina?

My Passport external Drive has failed!  However I do have an older My Passport Ultra that has about 80% of my photos on it.  When I go to Lightroom I am seeing all the photos and files that existed on the drive that has now failed (all showing with a ?).  However I want to "find missing photos" using my older backup drive.  They were both designated as Drive D my laptop.  So....how do I get Lightroom to look at the new Drive D and find the photos?  PS - am not very "techy"

Hi, I have created a camera profile for infa red images but cannot find out what path I must save the profile to on a windows 11 system. thanks in advance

OK, so somehow I ended up with two windows in the develop module.  A reference and an active window.  How do I get back just the one, active window, closing the reference window.I searched all  over and can not find out how.
