ARGH Just made a huge mistake trying to free up space in Adobe Cloud Storage...removed a lot of photos from All Synced Photographs without realizing that also removed them from their collections. Any way to restore the collection contents??? Thanks– 

Anyone any ideas?

I have LRC on Win 10 that can't upgrade to 11I have installed Creative Cloud on new Win 11 computer & put images on D drive.How do I install LRC catalog in Pictures in C drive?Thanks

Since upgrading to LR 14.4, I have lost the loupe info display in develop mode. Nothing happens with the keyboard shortcut 'i'.    I've checked in 'view/loupe info' and the display info box is ticked. I've tried toggling on and off, restarting etc. and I just can't get the info to display. Any suggestions? Thanks.

最近ノートPCを新しくしたのですが、LRCとPhotoshopとの連携がうまくいきません。LRCで右クリック、他のツールで編集、Photoshopで編集が選択できない状態です。LRC、Photoshop共に最新の状態です。どうかご教授ください。

Hallo,ich wollte heute die Funktion "Störende Elemente" entfernen und hier "Personen" ausprobieren. Egals welches Bild ich mit Personen wähle, es wird immer über das gesamte Bild eine "Maske" gelegt und keine einzige Person erkannt, egal wie deutliche diese zu erkennen wären.ZUSÄTZLICH: Sobald ich diese Funktion nutze, funktioniert im ANSCHLUSS auch nicht mehr die "Maskierungsfunktion" --> Person erkennen.  Es wird im Kartiereiter "Maskieren" dann keine Person mehr gefunden.LR muss neu gestartet werden, und dann wird unter der Maskierungsfunktion wieder die Person mit (Lippen, Mund, Haut usw) gefunden.Bitte um Unterstützung - ist das ein Fehler?DankeLGEva

Hi, i just received from adobe the email "We’re writing to inform you that since you have not subscribed to Lightroom in over a year, your entire catalog, including unsynced local assets, saved presets, and purchased premium presets, will be permanently deleted in 30 days.". Now, i have lots of presets saved in lightroom, but i can't save them on the mac because i dont have an active plan so they wont let me enter in the "develop area" and i cant even speak to the customer support for the same reason. Do you have any ideas how to avoid losing all the presets? preferably without purchasing an annual plan  thanks!

Hello- I have  the latest vrsion on LRC, never had problems with exporting to a designated folder on my hard-drive  (Windows 11),  seems like that changed today.   My export box opens and when I scroll down it seems to keep trying to save on the CD/DVD option (I don't even have a CD or DVD drive),  I now have to select the Hard-drive option everytime.  Is anyone having the same issue?     Is that a new bug in this app?  Thanks  -Terry

I have been using lightroom for 10+ years for color processing my RAW images. I've been having this issue for the past 3 months and I can't figure out a solution. I will color grade an image and then try to either sync or paste on other images in the same lighting/same settings  - No camera settings changed, nothing different, same exact settings - and the same settings will appear different on some images, but the same on others. Its EXTREMELY noticeable on studio images.   I have tried starting a new catalog which did not fix the issue. I also reset my camera and that didnt fix the issue either. I have no idea how this has started but I'm desperate for a solution. I am using MAC and my lightroom classic is updated to the current version. I've attached an example below of the issue. The settings are the exact same on each image. Same lighting, same camera settings.    [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]

I am having a problem with where the Sync Images are being stored on my Win laptop computer ( LrC 14.5,1, Win 11 see info. On my Signature below). The info in the LrC Preferences shows an incorrect file path ( I believe this path was inherited from a Catalog I was using on my iMac ). When I attempted to make a change to a new location on my Win laptop a popup indicates to copy the existing data this fails as the data was sent on a path that does not exist. I am thinking of using the Delete All Sync Data option, but I am unsure. Any Ideas? See the screen captures below  

Hi,I am looking to upgrade my Windows PC and was hoping someone may be able to tell me how long it should take to Denoise one 45MB photo in Lightroom using the recommended spec'ed PC for Lightroom Classic? My current PC takes about 14 minutes per photo.

After all my work creating in LR book module, I cannot send the created book to Blurb using the button in lower right corner.    Halfway through the process, I get this error message: "An error occurred while creating the book".  I have retried many times.    For info, I can export the book as a jpeg to my hard drive.  I thought I may be able to save the book in pdf and then upload to Blurb on their website. However, I cannot even export the book as a pdf to the hard drive.  I have save other pdf files so I really don't know what is the problem.   I saw that some were reporting this problem a few years ago.   Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have created several keyword sets, but selecting an image or images and clicking on the applicable keyword set in the dropdown does nothing.  

Dall'aggiornamento a Sonoma e ancora successivamente con Sequoia, collegando fotocamere sia Nikon che Fuji non avviene il riconoscimento da parte del software. Per chiarezza con CaptureOne il riconoscimento avviene in una frazione di secondo.dal momento che quindi non si tratta di problemi hardware come cavi etc e non ho modificato nessuna impostazione da quando le fotocamere venivano riconosciute, vorrei sapere se altri hanno o hanno avuto il problema e nel caso come lo hanno risolto.Grazie

Bonjour tout le monde,J'ai depuis hier un problème de taille. Depuis hier matin, certaines photos (RAW) ne s'affichent plus dans le module de développement, mais uniquement sur 1 dossier. Je ne peux donc pas les traiter !!! j'ai tout essayé, activé/désactivé le CPU ; réinstaller LR classic, mais rien ne change ! c'est la première fois que je vois ce problème ! d'ailleur en règle générale, depuis 20 ans que j'uilise LR, je n'ai rencontré aucun problèmes ! il y a trois jours aucun problèmes !!! le dossier s'affichait parfaitement. 

I have always been able to drag and drop images from the Library Grid view into a collection in Lightroom Classic.  Just today, this stopped working.   The image cannot be picked up from the grid and dragged, let alone dropped.  I can't find any settings in View options that affect this.  Help?  Release 14.5.1.

All of a sudden my dialogs have become unreadable. Anyone seen anything like this? I'm also losing the brush disks in clone, remove and masks, which may be related.  

I am with you there, I have spent now countless hours after work and my day off on the Lightroom chat . Only to be told the issue is resolved. But nothing has changed i am unable to sync any photos to any device. I desperately need help, I have sent two emails and still no rely.   CRM .00425000002942On one chat the person said theynhad to re sync so 50 thousand photos and then the issue would be resolved. This took for ever and there was no change. Another chat the person took over my computer again told me it was fixed and again no change, PLEASE HELP

A too large number of files imported into LRc are grey-ed out with the message that preview could not be created .A significant number of them are of images of documents.  So, I considered that as a source of the problem,but I have plenty of other documents imported into LR and the preveiw process worked as advertised.I tried importing just the problem images (the previous import were part of a bunch of images importedat the sae time. Still could not get previews.  I tried forcing the ffiles to convert using "Build Previews"  No luck there. Could not find a solution in the posts. I did not start deleting catalogs and then re-importing the files as someone on another post suggested (!?)  Do you have anything to suggest I should consider doing to correct this?I am running an Apple M3 with whatever is the latest and greatest OS.  All images are Tiff.Thanks in advance for any help you can spare.

Hi there, I just opened Lightroom. There was some sort of update, and now the images in my book module are showing, but when I press develop mode it says the photo cannot be found. None of these photos can be found. They were all on my external hard drive which is plugged in, and I can plainly see them on the hard drive separately, so I know that they're there. Can someone please assist with this? I have no idea how to fix this, but I'm pretty sure it can be fixed, right? That book took me a long time to put together I cannot start it over again. Thank you in advance to anyone with any suggestions!Sarah

recently upgraded my Mac computer. new computer running Monterey OS versus High Sierra previously. Now having problems loading my Lightroom 4 product. (Lightroom 2 + Lightroom 4 upgrade pkg). System loads the Lightroom 2 disc but not the Lightroom 4 upgrade disc. Why? Is there a fix? Other options?

Hi everyone,I’m experiencing a persistent issue with Lightroom Classic after updating to version 13.3 (May 2025 release). The application freezes randomly during basic tasks—especially when I switch between the Library and Develop modules or try to export a batch of images.System Info:macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 (also happened on Ventura)MacBook Pro M1 Pro, 16GB RAMLightroom Classic v13.3GPU acceleration enabledCatalog and images stored on an external SSD (Samsung T7)I’ve already tried:Disabling GPU accelerationResetting preferencesCreating a new catalogReinstalling LightroomNothing seems to help, and the app becomes unresponsive requiring a force quit. Activity Monitor doesn’t show anything unusual except for high CPU usage before the freeze.Has anyone else encountered this since the recent update? Are there any workarounds or specific settings that help stabilize performance?Thanks in advance!

LR Classic CC 8.0.  I thought I have everything checked or unchecked to prevent this from happening but LR still opens when I insert my SD card into the USB reader.  Is there anything else I can do to stop this or perhaps something I missed?   I like to review all pics taken before I import them, I find it too cumbersome to review and delete images I don't want to work within the LR space.  Thanks  Ralph
