Questions

all my files mysteriously disappeared out of Lightroom. So I uninstalled the program and reinstalled it, but the files don't come back. It's like my hard drive is not connecting with Lightroom. Does anyone have any ideas for me?

I installed LRC on a new computer, plugged in my external hard drive with all my pictures, and I see all of them, lost all keywords and edits. Re keyworded all, but I cant import new pictures (probably because i didnt create a catalog). What happens to all the pictures if i create a new catalog?

BonjourMa version Lightroom LRC est à jour, ainsi que ma version Win 11. Je travaille sur un PC puissant et avec beaucoup de mémoireEt malgré cela j'ai une lenteur dans l'utilisation de LRC voire une impossibilité d"acceder à certaines fonctions comme les masques. qui ont une lenteur pour par exemple afficher un traitement radial Auriez vous une idée pour acceler mon utilisation, car aujourd'hui je suis péanlisé J'ai essayé de optimiser mon catalogue sans résultat.Auriez vous des idées pour solutionner cette lenteur d'escargot.. ? NB Ma version précédente LR 6.14 est plus reactive sur mon vieux PC qui tourne sur Win 7 Pro Merci d'avance Patrick Voir ci dessous config Version Lightroom Classic: 14.5.1Licence: Creative CloudParamètre de langue: frSystème d'exploitation : Windows 11 - Business EditionVersion : 11.0.26200Architecture de l'application : x64Architecture du système : x64Nombre de processeurs logiques: 24AMD 9 7900 non XVitesse du p

Photos are transferred to hard drive using AirDrop.When the folder that contains these photos is imported, previews are created much slower than they have ever been before.The last import of 425 photos proceeded to 19 of 425, and watited for 5 minutes. Then about 10 minutes later  the import finished. The catalog does have 640,000 photosThe Mac is a MacPro with 10-Core Xeon and 64 GB of MemoryOS is Sequoia 15.6.1Storage is a 2TB SSD with 300 GB available Any idea of the cause? Thanks

Hello,When I attempt to denoise images in lightroom the loading bar gets to around 39% then closes. There is no error that comes up but then I am unable to edit photos further, like a lag but worse.I have checked the usual things like drivers and settings.Also of note denoise works perfectly in photoshop. Can someone help?

I need to focus stack 157 stacks in LrC. Commandas are all the same, send to photoshop layers, then in PS align, merge, flatten save, close. Any way to automate that?

Wouldn't it be great if you could print to a file from the print module? I like to set up print pages so that my image is optically centered on a specific page size. I don't have a printer, but if I could print to a file like a JPEG or tiff, I could then send that file to a printing company.

Desde la version Agosto a mi no me funciona correctamente la mascara paisaje, aparte que se me ha quedado colgado sin llegar a encontrar las amscaras, cuando las consigue mostrar si no separo las tres mascacaras en tres independientes cada cambio de tono color, etc se aplica a las tres mascaras. 

Utilizzo un mac mini M4 pro con 512GB di memoria e 48GB di RAM. Da quando ho aggiornato a Tahoe non riesco ad esportare le foto in jpeg in quaanto mi dà memoria esaurita anche se non è vero.

Subject: URGENT: Lightroom Extremely Slow on New M3 Mac (macOS Sequoia 15.5) – Unusable for Workflow. Lightroom is performing extremely slow on new Apple M3 (macOS Sequoia 15.5). Images take far too long to load in Develop view, causing major disruptions to the workflow. This is a critical issue that makes the software nearly unusable. This is a machine with plenty of available storage and no performance issues elsewhere. Apple Support confirmed there's nothing wrong on their end. Three Adobe technicians have already accessed the system remotely and still haven’t resolved the issue.This level of performance and support is unacceptable, very disappointing from Adobe. A real solution is immediately needed. Please escalate this and respond ASAP.

This issue is driving me a little crazy and I'm not sure where the blame lies—when tethering LR Classic (14.5.1) with my Canon R5 on my Macbook Pro (M1 max, 64gb ram, macOS Sequoia 15.6.1), I rely on adjustments I make to an image to 'carry over' to the next imported shot so I can compare frames. For example, I will take a shot with the laptop, adjust the exposure, use transform and crop tools to give the photo an initial edit. Then I was adjust my exposure or change my flash settings or whatever then take another frame... The edits made to the previous frame do mostly carry over, but if I go back and fourth from the prior frame to the latest, often the newer frame gets reset. Then, when I select the two frames and sync the prior frame's settings again using the button, it frequently fails and I have to do this a few times to get the edits to 'stick'. This issue only occurs when I'm tethering—syncing settings works fine during non-tethering edting. I work with another photographer

Adobe cambia spesso modalità e approcci a per lasincronizzazione di LRC.Siamo sempre da anni confusi tra dati in locale e dati in cluod, tra sincronizzato e no sincronizzato.Basta ! E' sempre molto confuso e farraginoso. La sensazione che ha l'utente finale come me è che non è padrone dei suoi dati ma è Adobe a decidere se, come e quando.Molto molto friustrante, per agevolare l'utenza e cercare di rendere più semplice l'esperienza di lavoro in realtà ci complica la vita. 

Photography – HDR Lightroom problem.Clipping of highlights, over saturation & strange colours when in HDR mode even when in the Develop module.

Applying Denoise in version v14.5.1 on multiple photos takes a long time (for 250 photos, it took 1 hour). But after the process is completed, the filter effect is not visible on the photos. You have to refresh the filter for each single photo; otherwise, it shows as applied but has no effect. This happens both when synchronizing all photos and when shifting the slider to change the synchronized value. This makes it unusable.Platform: mac os Sequoia 15.6.1Version: Lightroom Classic v14.5.1Steps to reproduce:1. Select multiple photos (batch)2. Apply Denoise filter to the batch3. Check the photos for the Denoise effectExpected result: All photos should be processed with the Denoise effect visibleActual result: The Denoise effect is missing unless manually refreshed for each individual photo

I’m having a serious issue with Adobe Lightroom Classic. The program opens normally and recognizes all folders and files in the catalog, but no images are displayed — every thumbnail, preview, and import window remains completely gray.Here’s what I’ve already tried, with no success:Disabled GPU acceleration (Performance → Use Graphics Processor → Off)Reset all Lightroom preferences and deleted AppData and LocalAppData foldersUninstalled and reinstalled Lightroom Classic multiple timesChecked that all image files (.CR2, .JPG, etc.) are accessible and correctly linkedCreated a new catalog from scratchDisabled all plug-insUpdated my NVIDIA Quadro drivers to the latest Studio versionDespite all of that, Lightroom still shows only gray squares and never renders any photo or preview.The issue persists in both Library and Develop modules, and during import.Could you please help me identify what might be causing this problem? 

He instalado Lightroom y no entiendo el uso del catálogo, el catálogo llega a ocupar lo mismo que mi carpeta de fotografías, por lo que en este caso, necesito el doble de espacio en el disco duro. Yo pensaba que el catálogo sincronizaba las fotos, pero que no ocupaba el mismo espacio. Es una locura si tengo en cuenta que tengo 4000 fotografías. Cuantas gigas necesito??    [since writing about catalogs, it seems to be Lightroom classic - moved to the correct community - Mod.]

Find nearby images in brary Mode of LRC stops working . It will find 1  file at a time. ny suggestions Thanks

Liebe Lightroom Nutzer,   habe eine Galerie mit 500 Fotos fertig gestellt und wollte exportieren wie immer. Funktioniert auch sonst alles tadellos. Bei einigen Bilder dauert der Export ewig und irgendwas passt nicht. Letztendlich geht es nicht und nur bei manchen Bildern. Ich dreh bald noch durch und heule gleich. Habe keine Lust nochmal alle Bilder zu bearbeitern und erst auszusortieren.   Hoffe ihr könnt mir helfen.    Vielen, lieben Dank vorab für eure Bemühungen.   LG, Caro   {Moved from Lightroom Cloud to Lightroom Classic Forum by Moderator} 

My partner edits jobs in her lightroom on a MAC and exports them to DNG to send to me for final edits and tweaks before we release a job. On our latest job using the latest lightroom classic for MAC she has used denoise and also in some images used AI to clone out some unsightly buildings and also a dog which we were asked to remove. She has exported them to DNG and we have found denoise is present but has reverted and needs regenerating. In addition the AI cloned out sections of the images have reverted to show the dog and unsightly buildings. This is a major issue for us and looks like. Significant bug. Any work arounds would be appreciated 

HELP!Sometimes LrC closes without warning. Other times i get an error box saying a problem reading the catalog and then closes, others that I can report what I was doing which could be scrolling through my files in the library or develop mode, searching, syncing, and other thing too.this has been a problem for months. I have been traveling with little access to a robust inernet connection and made a new catalog that i have been using for new files. I have kept my Adobe apps up to date. Lrc 14.5.1 currently.windows 11 up to date.Sometimes i will delete the left behind on sudden crash files and other times i just restart Lrc without deleting them. When it does a catalog check as it has on dozens of crashes the program has only done a catalog repair 5 times i believe which has not made a difference. Even after a catalog check it may not start again right away.I have deleted and resynced Lightroom cloud which has somewhere around 40,000 images from my phone/s that are now in one synce

Hi!  I am a professional photographer who sometimes outsources my editing. I provide reference photos to my editor, all of them include overlay masking.I zip my LRC Catalog (including 1) Smart Previews.lrdata,2) Previews.lrdata 3) .lrcat and 4) .lrcat-data) and send it to my editor. When they open the file, they can see my masks. They edit on their end, zip the file, send it my way. When I export their file, I can see my Overlay Masks, but theirs don't work. I can see it's been created, I can see which cursors were modified in this mask, but it doesn't show on the image. I tried duplicating it: not working.Any spot removing/healing is also not working: I can see there was healing done, but it has an orange ! and is not changing anything of the photo aspect.  How can I fix this issue? Has anyone ever experienced this?  Thank you. 

After this update it is impossible to work with LR. 21 picture HDR panorama takes ALL NIGHT to process. Reverted back to v14 and it is ready in few minutes. Is anyone in Adobe testing the software before release?

Start up LRC 14.5.1 and started getting this error message  "oops something went wrong.  This page could not load google maps correctly see the javascript console for tech details.  what do I do?   [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]  

Bonjour,Quand j'importe mes photos sur LR Classique, elles sont de très mauvaise qualités voire inexploitable (de très gros pixels), mais quand je les exporte, elles retrouvent une qualité normale.Pouvez-vous me dire comment pallier à ce problème ? que je puisse post-traiter mes photos de manière optimale.Merci par avance,

I want to merge a small catalog into my main lightroom classic catalog. The photos are all on my Synology NAS, in different folders, and the catalogs are on my local hardrive/computer. I cannot get LRC to recognize the secondart catalog photo folder(s) when I click "import from another catalog."  How do I accomplish this?
