Hello everyone, I'm currently having an issue i can't manage to fix myself. My Lr CC is running on my Windows 10 computer and i have a one for all library in it that holds every images i've taken. Every images with a certain rating goes either in a "saving" dynamic collection or in a "portfolio" dynamic collection based on the stars given. In my case the saving collection has something around 500 images and 100+ for the portfolio one. Then i have a folder that has 2 copies of the dynamic collections but not dynamic to sync them with my cloud in order to find them in Lr on my other devices (iphone/ipad). The thing is that since they are not dynamic at all unlike the 2 that they are meant to stricly copy/paste, whenever i make a change in my ratings or add images, to save me some time, i just clean out the collection completly and select all images in the refering dynamic collection (Ctrl+A) and clic and drag in the normal synced collection. It's important to note that when i do this, i

RAW files I edited years ago with old heal and clone tools are considered as AI remove edits by the AI edit status tool. This behaviour, that I suppose being a bug, makes it unclear if AI has been used in the editing of a specific RAW file, while I think we should all be aware of what technologies we are using and when. Also, this is relevant because if we use Content Credentials, some photos will be marked as using AI while they are not. This behaviour is common to Camera Raw 17.5 and Lightroom Classic 14.5.1, I do not know about cloud-based Lightroom as I don't use it. I would like Adobe to state very clearly what technologies are being used in all the object-removing tools, and correct this AI edit status tool behaviour if it is a bug. Thanks in advance

Oh my goodness. I want to bash my head in. I'm 100 photos away from finishing a wedding, and Lightroom is being so so slow that I can't even stand to work in it right now. I've tried adjusting preferences, upping cache size, disabling parallel previews, turning GPU on and off, resetting all preferences, using only Smart Previews, etc. All it's done is make it even more sluggish and given me more grief with editing. It takes at least 8 seconds to switch between edited images, preview presets, and forever to sync edits...I just want to rip my hair out!! Here's my computer stats:Processor 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-11900K @ 3.50GHz (3.40 GHz)Installed RAM 64.0 GB (63.6 GB usable)System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processorEdition Windows 11 HomeVersion 24H2Installed on ‎2024-‎12-‎17OS build 26100.4946Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.197.0 And I'm running Lightroom Classic 14.5.1 that just updated today.

I'm using a powerful Epyc 9575F+RTX5090 workstation, but I find that Lightroom classic's performance is way underwhelming. The example is doing a batch enhance detail for 500 images. This is AI based so it should run under GPU and yes it run under GPU on my old computer and Mac. But I find that in here it runs on CPU, and more disappointingly not fully saturating the CPU. I enabled CCD as virtual NUMA node so task manager will show 8 graphs, and each graph present 8 cores. You can see that only one CCD is used (likely to because of Windows's scheduler trying to bin on one NUMA node aka CCD, which is the reason of enabling virtual NUMA to enhance L3 cache hitrate), and only half is saturated. There's VRAM allocated but GPU not computing. Except for AI functionality speed the overall performance is even worse than my M4 Pro, which is so disappointing. The system information also shows only 6 maximum camera raw threads. Full GPU acceleration is manually enabled and system information prov

Salve, ho davvero bisogno di aiuto sulla mia versione di lightroom classic. Premetto che ogni volta che esco da lightroom faccio sempre il backup, che viene salvato in una cartella nominata: cataloghi ligntroom con data di salvataggio. Lavoro sempre con un unico catalogo su cui ho salvato migliaia di foto rinominate e con vari tag e informazioni inserite. Il problema è che dall'ultima volta che ho salvato con il bakup, riaccendendo il giorno dopo, apro lightroom e è VUOTO dalle fotografie!!! Ma coem è possibile. Non ci posso credere avevo catalogato migliaia di foto. Fatto sempre il backup. Qualcuno mi può aiutare? 

My Lightroom Classic is stuck in full screen. I cannot access the three buttons in the top left to reduce it. I tried the usual; restart but no change. Please advise, Thanks. iMac-macOS Monteray with latest downloads.

Get started with editing your astrophotography images using Lightroom Classic with this easy step-by-step guide.    Editing images is a very personal thing. Some people like a lot of contrast in their images, some like a lot of color and others like to keep things as natural as possible. In this tutorial, I will show you the basic workflow I use to edit my Astrophotography night-time images. You can either use your own image to work on as you follow these simple steps or you can download my sample photo here.   The image I am using for the tutorial was taken on a Nikon APS-C camera mounted on a tripod in portrait orientation. I used an 18-55mm kit lens set at the maximum aperture of f/3.5 for 30 seconds at ISO1600. For this particular image, I left the shutter open slightly too long and as a result, you may see some star trails because the Earth's rotation, but zoomed out the stars look acceptably round. The ideal shutter speed for this scenario, considering that it was

I can't get the star rating to appear below the thumbnails in the bottom bar in Lightroom Classic. Please help. This is shown in the screenshot.

How can I make Lightroom import only RAW and not JPG files? (Some camera's require you to save a JPG next to a RAW to generate the best preview on the camera LCD)

Hello, I am trying ton connect a MX CONSOLE LOGITECH. It is necessary to give autorisation by external controlers. But I don't see it, though a have the latest version of lightroom classic. Help me please Thks André Callewaert

I have recently updated to Lightroom Classic version 15.5 and am having problems opening the app on my M3 Pro MacBook Pro, running MacOS 15.6.  When I first try to start a session it either fails to open and I have to force quit and try again, or takes a very long time to open.  When I do eventually get it to open if I close it down and reopen it does so with no problem. I have tried uninstalling reinstalling the app, but this makes no difference. 

I'm seeingt a bug in LR Classic Print Module's Identity Plate. Now that I've upgraded to Big Sur (11.5.2), I can no longer select the text to edit in a text box. The text shows up when I add it in the Idendity Plate panel window, but then I cannot select it on the image, so I can't move it. Useless this way, since it just shows up over the middle of the photo.  Is anyone else having this problem?    This is the second, and probably more serious of the Big Sur Print Module bugs. The other one is that the image has a color shift and desaturates when viewing in the Print Module.    I'm on an M1 iMac, MacOS 11.5.2, v10.4 LR Classic.

I just installed Lightroom CC on my Windows 11 PC, when I apply Denoise AI, my picture turns blue/purple. Any help please!

Hi everybody, I hope somebody can provide me with the right hint. I would like to view/play my slideshows with a stroke border, black or white, on the edge of each file/photo. However, when the file is cropped, very often the desired border does appear correctly in the preview but does not show at the edge— but rather at a distance from it—when the slideshow is played; the larger the crop, the more distant it shows. Why is this? I've tried with several combinations of Crop & Straighten settings (custom, original, locked/unlocked, etc.) but could not find the correct way out. Can anybody help? Thank you in advance.

In LrC I click on the Mask icon ... when I click on the brush and go to paint everythings seems fine.  When I want to lighten/darken that area there is no eposure (etc) slider ... I know it's somewhere!  An easy fix for sure but I've tried all I know ... Thanks for your help!

I am nearly finished making a photobook, but now I need to add an extra picture. I import it to the library and it sits there, I can use Develop on it,  but I cannot get it to appear in the photobook - even if I designate it a cover page in the Library!Deleting is easy but how do I add an extra picture to a photobook in progress? There are hours of work involved already, so I don't want to just clear the book and start again as each page always needs a lot of manual adjustment and captioning!

I use a hierarchical style of managing keywords. Today I noticed I had two redundant keywords, Bird and birds. I selected all photos in the catalog, clicked the arrow next to the number by birds to select all photos containing that keyword. Next I clicked on the left side of Bird to add the Bird keyword to those images. Then I unchecked on the left next to birds. Now no images have the birds keyword. But wait. It shows a 1. I selected Metadata, Purge unused keywords, and that didn't fix it. Next I exited LR and deleted the Helper.lrdata file since I read that can fix cache issues. Opening LR Classic again (Mac version), the keyword is still there. Is there any other way to fix this?

I am getting worried and pretty desperate.   I got a Mac M4 and downloaded lightroom and transfered by catalog on to the M4.   My lightroom clasic is working insanely slowly so so that it take hours to move a few pictres from one folder to the next, deleting a file takes minutes, and moving from one file to another also takes along time. I tried to move a folder from one external hardrive toanother and I could not do it (3000 pictres). On my old compter I could do it all and fast (that compter was 12 years old). I do not know where the problem is. Please help me.   NB: I had Adobe on the line for two hours and the staff could not come with solutions. The second level assistance was reqested but after more than a week, I have still not received a call.   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

In LR 11.0, MacOS 11.6.   I select several images in the grid view. Edit the location info in the Image section. The metadata is only set on the 'most" selected image. It used to correctly set the data on all selected images.   This is a real problem for me. If I go out and shoot a few hundred images, now I have to edit each one individually. Unacceptable.   I did not check to see if any other fields exhibit the same behavior. This was enough for me.   Is there another (reasonable) way to set the location os a set of images?

Bonjour,Depuis quelques semaines, il m'était impossible de copier/coller les paramètres d'une photo à une autre (ou une série d'autres). Je pensais que la dernière mise à jour allait permettre de résoudre ce problème. Raté. Il m'est toujours impossible de copier/coller les paramètres...Suis-je seul à vivre ce désagrément ? Quelle pourrait être la solution ?Merci de vos réponses,Olivier

It appears DNG photos taken on the recently released Pixel 10 mobile phone are being treated as JPEGs by Lightroom Classic in the Develop module.  In  the profile section, the full range of profiles are not available, ie Landscape, Portrait,  Adobe Colour, Standard, Vivid etc. What's available is Adaptive Colour, B&W and  Google Pixel Monochrome.Is this correct? The same thing happened on DNG photos taken on the Pixel 9, that was soon corrected, I'm not sure whether Adobe solved it or Google.  I have tried to attach a DNG photo, but the uploader says the DNG is not a supported file type!

After using Lightroom classic without significant problems for 15-20 years,today when I started the app, the Folder panel was empty. I am currently on a photography subscription and always keep my apps up to date. Apps are running on Mac mini M4 MacOS 15 Sequoia. LRC version 14.5.1. My pictures and catalog files are stored on an external ssd. All of the files and folders are findable using Mac Finder, and when I am in the Catalog panel, viewing All photographs, I can select any photograph and right-click and choose Show in Finder and there is no problem, the photos are present and in the correct folders and subfolders.However, if I right click on a photo and choose Go to Photo in Library, I get a message "No Photos in selected Folder".I also attempted to import some recent photos from my camera and got an error message:"An Internal error has occured.AgPathUtils.getStandardFilePath: can't create directory at: /Users/kenberean/Pictures. Error message = %@"Clearly, these two problems are

Curious is anyone else is having issue with Lightroom freezing since the last update. It currently happens when I select an image, make a right click and then it freezes. I am not able to change screens or apps. I have to CTRL+ALT+Delete to exit the program. Is there another option besides un-installing at this point?
