I created nested Keywords without any problems but tonight I can't created keywords.   I creted the following keywords: WHO, WHERE and WHAT.  I had to create the WHAT keyword inside another keyword and then drag and dropped where I wanted.  The "+" on the Keyword List tab doesn't seem to be working anymore.  I tried adding the following keyword, 0 GENRES PORTFOLIO as the top level of nested series.  When I click ok it never appears in the list and it gives no errors.  One fix said to delete the helper.irda files which I did,  but it did not resolve the problem.  Should I reinstall Ligthroom Classic?  That's what I use.

I have had successful uploads from LR to Blurb for years. For the last three months it has failed to upload. I want to send to Blurb to publish the book. I do not need PDF only - I need to send to Blurb for publishing.I have tried all their suggestions with no success.Blurb says it's a glitch in LR.Any ideas? Thanks  

When using the Remove tool and ticking the "Use generativeAI" box, it identifies the areas. When you click the remove box it comes up with a message "We have encountered a problem and cant complete your request. Try again later". Tried restarting the program and the PC and get same message

I'm wondering if anyone has seen this before and has an explanation for what is going on. I shoot Fuji RAF format and have a preset on Import that applies my preferred profiles & default Develop settings. Sometimes I make a few other edits before eventually converting all my images to DNG (typically I wait until I'm connected to a power source to do the DNG Conversion because it drains my laptop battery).   Here's the random bug I've experienced over the last few versions of LR: I'll batch convert hundreds of images from RAF to DNG in LR. Then I'll notice that some random images have lost all my edits - including the default edits applied on Import. The History Panel will show "From Metadata" and if I go back one state everything is back the way I had it before the conversion. (see screen recording of one such file) It's quite annoying to have to go back through ALL my images and check each one to see if it has lost the edits as there is no way to filter and see only the ones

Bonjour, J'utilise Lightroom pour déplacer mes photos du SSD de mon iMac vers un NAS depuis de nombreuses années. Ayant un peu de temps, je voudrai faire du tri dans mes photos et transférer les photos les plus anciennes vers mon NAS et en faire une copie sur un disque dur externe. Cela ne m'a jamais posé de problème jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Lorsque, depuis Lightroom, je déplace un dossier de mon SSD vers le NAS, une fenêtre s'affiche avec le message suivant : Déplacement de fichiers sur le disque.Ceci déplacera les fichiers correspondants sur le disque. Si vous continuez, ce déplacement, ou toute modification effectuée avant ce dernier, sera irréversible. Quel est le sens de ce message ?Vais-je perdre toutes les améliorations apportées à mes photos ?Ou bien, ne pourrai-je plus revenir à l'état original de mes photos ? Avant toute validation, je voudrai être sûr de ce que je fais. Je n'avais pas ce message par le passé.

I have a "newbie" question. How can we  find photos with "Undetected" face region i.e. photos in which Ai tagging did run but didn't find any face?.

I am buying a new Imac so will need to move my LRC phootgraphs over to it.I see that I cannot have my Adobe Login open on two computers at the same time, so I have no idea then how I will move my photos over. If I have my login open on my existing computer to load all my photos, how do I then download and install LRC on my new computer?  I use Time Machine backup on my MAC. So plese advise how I should move all my phootgrpahs over to my new computer.

You haven't confused the meaning of the word Denoise? I need to remove noise, not add it. To remove noise, do I need to press Noise? Everything was working before, what did you do to this feature? 

Bonjour, J'ai exporté mon catalogue sur un disque externe. J'ai installé Lightroom sur le nouvel appareil et j'ai importé le catalogue. J'ai aussi installé Photoshop 2025 et des extensions Topaz Gigapixel, Denoize  et Sharpen. Dns mon ancienne installation les photos de mon catalogue étaient sur le disque externe. Et le document Catalogue.lrcat était sur mon disque C. Sur ma nouvelle installation j'aimerais que mon catalogue soit sur mon disque externe au lieu de prendre de l'espace sur mon disque C. Même si mes photos étaient toutes déjà sur mon disque externe, en créant la copie du catalogue ainsai qu'une copie temporaire complète des photos sur un dossier dédié à l'installation de Lightroom (Lightroom-transfer).  Je suis capable de modifier dans Photoshop les photos qui sont sur le disque externe dans le dossier Lightreoom-transfer. Mais je suis incapable de modifier dans Sharpen ou une autre application Topaz. Lightroom refuse d'ouvrir ces images

HiI was wondering if a new version of Lightroom Classic for Mac would be released soon. I'm sure this isn't a normal thing Adobe would tell us but my Lightroom Mobile app updated, I made edits & they won't sync back into Classic because it hasn't been updated. It says "There are photos edited with a newer version of Lightroom in your catalog Enabling sync without updating Lightroom Classic first will cause incompatible edits to be lost." I would rather not lose whatever edits I did in Mobile. If I did would it just be features not yet in Classic? I know I should have made sure they were both compatible with each each other... Thanks

Bonjour comment activer Lightroom Classic sur imac en 2025 avec un abonnement Lightroom 1T ?Je ne trouve pas le catalogue et l'historique des retouches photos...Merci

I'm usding the Lens panel in Lightroom Classic to clear up chormatic aberrations and fringing. Under the menu Profile it only has less than a dozen older Canon lenses and nothing of the newer RF models. I think I must be missing profiles but I don't know how to find the profiles, do they need to be dowloaded or shouldn't they be already included in Lightroom? I have the latest version. How do I bring in the newer profiles so they will show and can be used?

Trying to help someone who is without Internet, today, ... For some reason, the camera they use regularly, is no longer showing up in their RAW DEFAULTS portion of that window (LrC > Preferences > Presets).  It was there... now it is not.  ??They are up-to-date on a macOS (Macbook Pro) with an external drive - no hardware or system issues.There are no bugs in my system (macOS - iMac),  and I could not find any for theirs, either. The last time I added a camera to my system was over a year ago, and I cannot for-the-life-of-me, recall what I did to get that camera model added to my Defaults.  But there it is, happily! They tried to Update Default and Relaunched LrC but got no change.  Even their camera brand (OM Digital Solutions) does not show in the pop-out list.   I have looked everywhere in the community and on Adobe for a solution but am coming-up blank. How do they get the camera model entered to register in the Defaults?&nbsp

Long time Lightroom user since version 1.0. Since Lightroom updated to 14.0.1 (Windows) I have been having trouble Importing photos from my memory card to the (internal) hard drive on my workstation. The process would be stuck at "Copy and Import Photos" and nothing happens. It would not copy the files, let alone renaming and cataloging them. When I cancel the import, Lightroom Classic would say "No photos or videos were found to import" and eject the card.This is the stuck screen.I have tried to:1) Start a new catalog. Same result.2) Uninstall, restart, reinstall Lightroom Classic. Same result. Lightroom has basically become useless. Is anyone else encountering this issue?

Hi there, While trying to use the color picker found within the Color Grading panel, an alert popped-up with the message:  “Adobe Lightroom Classic” is requesting to bypass the system private window picker and directly access your screen and audio. This will allow Adobe Lightroom Classic to record your screen and system audio, including personal or sensitive information that may be visible or audible. I guess it is needed so we can inspect the colors on the image we are working on, but I don't understand why such a broad permission is needed, as the image is shown within the confines of Lightroom app. As I understand from the message, we are granting Lightrrom permission to record our screen and audio system-wide, so whichever other application is open, Lightroom could access it's contents displayed on screen. If somebody knows the reason and could explain it to me, I would really appreciate it. Thanks a lot in advance! 

This problem just started today.  First noticed the problem when trying to export.  As soon as export is selected, LR stops responding and becomes non-responsive.  The only way out is to Force Quit the program.  Even if LR is started, and then I try to exit the program, it hangs up and I have to do a Force Quit.Ive tried deleting LR from the CC app and reinstalling it, to no avail.  I've tried downgrading to an earlier version and same thing happens.  I can't create a new catalog or switch to another catalog without it hanging.  I have no idea where to go from here!Macbook Pro 15-inch, 2018Processor: 2.6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7Graphics: Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MBMemory: 32 GB 2400 MHz DDR4

Something really strange just happened. I have a folder with subfolders , each containing several hundred photos. I was working in one of the subfolders, which contained a mixture of PNG, JPG, and JXL photos. Of the 350 photos, 14 were PNG. Here's a breakdown: I filtered to show only PNG files.Selected all of them and ran an export that converts them to JXL and imports them back into the catalog.After the conversion/import was complete, I selected the PNG files again and used the Remove command to delete them from disk.Suddenly, those 14 newly imported JXL photos are thr ONLY photos that will show up in my catalog. Everything else has vanished—and not only from that subfolder, but from ALL the subfolders in the parent folder. I can't figure out what's going on. If I try to synchronize the folder, it shows that it will import 336 photos, but when the import window comes up there's nothing there because it thinks all the photos are duplicates. If I use the Find All Missing

I have the same (up-to-date) versions of LR and PS on my laptop as my desktop and preferences are identical. LR on my laptop will not enable any of the extended 'Edit In' options for Photoshop 2025 but will for the beta version. [moved from Lightroom ecosystem bugs to Lightroom Classic discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]

Hi, I am new to the community. I have recently bought a new iMac and have the latest updates for LrC installed. Every time I try to import it crashed after only 2 photos! I've disabled the GPU, reset preferences, purged the cache and tried a new catalog. I have plenty of space on my external hard drive and using the same SD cards I've been using for a while now. I've tried two different SD cards and have the same issue.I never had any issues with my 10 year old MacBook!! please, does anyone know how to fix this?  thanksMark

I just updated to Lightroom 14.4 and now the Enhance feature is gone! What am I missing? I use this feature all the time.

In LRC, the Landscape masks do not separate the different masks; they take them as a single mask. It was working well until last week. I made a test with Camera Raw, and it is working ok there.

A l'ouverture de l'outil "supprimer", Lightroom plante et je ne peux plus l'utiliser. Quelle solution ? Je précise que j'ai désactiver mon GPU dans Lightroom pour pouvoir l'utiliser. Merci.

Using Publish services publishing to Google drive streamed folder in physical drive (not virtual drive) and folders that used to publish are usable offline. When Content Credentials are disbled upload works fine. Enabling Content Credentials (any method) causes errors and files are not uploaded. All file requirements are ok.Exporting photos normally (not via publish service) with Content Credentials enabled to "normal" physical folder works fine.
