Questions

I recently replaced an old PC running Windows 10 with a new PC that came loaded with Windows 11. I installed fresh copies of Lightroom Classic and Photoshop on the new PC using Creative Cloud Desktop. I've had no problems at all for the past month or so, until now. I just tried publishing one of my photos to my Flickr account, and ran into an issue. After dragging and dropping the image into the Flickr Collection (that worked fine), when I clicked on the "Publish" button, Lightroom threw up the following error message:  I did what I always do and Googled the error message. I found several forum posts (mostly on the Adobe site) that gave suggestions on resolving the issue. Most involved removing authorization and re-authorizing the plug-in. I tried that, several times, and it didn't help. I tried running Lightroom as an Administrator (another suggestion I read); still got the error message after trying to re-authorize with Flickr. I emptied the browser (Google Chrome) cac

Lightroom Classic issue after Mac OS Updates: Software: Lightroom ClassicOS: Mac OS Sequoia 15Issue: Catalog freezing; Sync would not progress; Upon import, could not locate/existing Collections not displaying; endless/frozen Optimize Catalog I've been having issues with LrClassic ever since the big Mac OS and Adobe updates in October 2024. Here are the issues I'm running into lately!  1 - Catalog Freezing: When I open LrClassic, it freezes for 2-3 minutes completely before I can do anything. Once it is unfrozen, if I want to import images to my catalog, I cannot add anything to existing collections (they do not display, the list is empty). 2 - Sync does not progress:Sync is just stuck spinning, nothing syncs.  3 - Optimize Catalog does not work:If I try to optimize the catalog, it sits infinitely and I have to force quit Lightroom.  I spent 4 hours on the phone with Adobe, and they got it working once we copied my catalog into a new catalog. And then Mac

I recently saw a blurb attributed to Adobe saying that if one elects to use the Denoise tool that it should be the first step in the editing process before anything else is done, and it made me wonder if there is a "best" or "preferred" order for applying other tools like Enhance Details, Super Resolution, or for that matter if there exists a general guideline of the order in which one should attack the editing process?  It seems to me that setting white balance should be done before adjusting saturation, for example, but I'm wondering what I may be overlooking in the order of other steps?    Thanks for any suggestions!

I'm comparing the results of converting ORF files type (Olympus RAW files) to JPG using Lightroom Classic and using OM Workspace. It looks like the algorytm used by OMW is much better than the one from Adobe, generating images much more clear, with less noise and better general quality. I understand that OM is the creator of the ORF files format and can manipulate  them better than a generalyst software like Adobe. My question is if there is a way to play with different configurations of the JPG conversion method (other than the few ones that appear in Lightroom when exporting files) to achieve better results.  Has anyone experienced this problem and find out a way to improve it? Thanks

I am wanting to edit some images in a particular folder in Lightroom.  When looking at the folder in File Explorer there are almost 100 image files in the particular folder.  However, Lightroom only sees 22 files.  I've selected the folder and tried both IMPORT and SYNCHRONIZE however nothing happens.How do I fix this?

Pues eso, que no me deja instalar LR Classic por no cumplir con los requisitos del sistema. Sé que antes te dejaba instalar versiones más antiguas para evitar este problema. ¿Es posible hacer eso ahora? Gracias

Hi, I cannot seem to find Capture Time in the metadata anymore.  Used to use it every shoot to correct 2nd shooter's (slightly off) camera times.  I thought it was in EXIF, but I can't find it anywhere.  And if it's gone how are you supposted to change the capture time now?  Thank you!

Most of my clients work in a team environment, where they like to make there own image selections for their specific usuage. In the past, they were able to see their teammates selections/comments as well as there own. That appears to no longer be the case. Is this a glitch or did something change? I can see all their individual choices on my side of the proofing gallery, but it's making it hard for my clients team to collaborate.  Thanks

New Denoise AI incompatibility with photo format....Why ? I've updated to the new LRC and wanted to try out the new Denoise Ai but in every image in my library, it says that it doesn't support the photo format. I shoot with a nikon D500 on a Sony XQD card in Jpeg......What is so radical about that format that it wouldn't be supported by the new denoise AI ?

My GPU is an RTX 470 with 12 GB of RAM. Adobe says that to use the new preview generation in LR Classic 14.5.1 it needs 16GB of RAM. So I tried it with my GPU. On AUTO (in Performance) it uses a little of the GPU, but I have to switch it to ON to force LR to use more of the GPU. Even then, it only uses a maximum of 30% of the 12GB available. Not sure whether it is any faster, but it does lower CPU use significantly and thus CPU temperature. So why does Adobe say it needs 16GB, when it doesn't even use more than about 4GB of my current GPU? Bob Frost

I'm using Lightroom Classic 14.5.1. I recently moved catalogue files on my harddrive.  As of now, they are all back in their original location, and everything seems to work fine in my LrC desktop client.  As soon as I try to go to my synced, public collections on the web though, they show as empty (even though they are showing the correct images in my desktop client).  If others try to access the same collections, they get a notification that those collections are private (even though they're showing as set to public in the desktop client).  If I try to go to lightroom.adobe.com, I get an error message saying "We're sorry, but an unexpected error ocurred." Searching around, the source of the issues seemed to point to the The MobileDownloads.lrdata file.  That is back in its original location, too, but still no luck on the web side of things.  I have a lot of online collections distributed and would really like to get these back to regular wo

Hi, Ailandas here.I am reporting a critical bug affecting the core workflow between Lightroom Classic and Photoshop. This issue has persisted for over 9 months and on a completely fresh Windows installation. The standard "Edit In" and "Save" workflow consistently fails, causing me to lose the link to my files and severely impacting my productivity. Environment:Operating System: Windows 11 Pro 22H2Lightroom Classic Version: 14.5.1Photoshop Version: 26.10Problem Description: The core workflow of Edit In Photoshop from Lightroom Classic is failing. After a file is edited and saved in Photoshop, it is not automatically detected or imported back into the Lightroom catalog, leading to a File cannot be found error for the original file and requiring a manual re-import. This issue has persisted for over 9 months, across multiple software and operating system reinstalls. Steps to Reproduce:In Lightroom Classic, I select a RAW file and right-click, choosing Edit In > Adobe Photoshop.I select

Hi everyone! I`ve had this problem since one of the updates of LR for Mac in december`21. I`ve already read all the simillar topics here and I`ve already did everything suggested in comments, all the methods that helped the others. I know that tthe diffeerence of colours is possible, because of different colour space in these modes (ProPhoto RGB and Adobe RGB), but all the way before I didn`t have any problem like this. Everything was perfect.  The problem is that The colors look correctly in the Library mode (naturally, as they always were), the picture is loaded slightly in the Develop mode and the color distortion occurs, the feeling is as if there is some preset. The faded warm filter seems to be applied and I can't change it in any way, because in fact no settings were applied. I`ve already changed the colour profile of my monitor, on/off grafic processor, reinstalled all new and previous versions of LR, wrote to the customers support. Nothing helped. I ne

Would a MacBook Pro m4 pro 12 core cpu 16 core gpu 48gb ram be good enough to edit uncompressed raw files from a Sony a7rv in lightroom classic? thanks

I recently come across the following Issue:   I have a bunch of jpg files I have post-processed in Photoshop that I want to add geo locations to using the Lightroom Classic map module. After adding the locations I mark all images and do right click - metadata - save metadata to file. For some jpg files the data is written into the jpg file (desired behavior and how I know it from LR Classic for the past 6 years), while for others LR creates a seperate xml file (same location same name as the jpg) containing all metadata including the location.   Since this is a recent thing for me I suspected LR 14 to be the issue so I downgraded back to 13 but the issue persists. I already cleared out my complete LR catalog and only importet a hand full of jpg files to test but the issues persists. The issue can be reproduced, it is always the same jpgs causing the issue. When I open one of the not functioning jpg files in Photoshop and save it again in a new location the issue persists. Whe

I am deleting photos from Lightroom but they are still on the hard drive. This is a new development. I have not changed any settings. I have restarted several times.

I have a massive library (just over 400,000 images) of GoPro Raw (.gpr) images from a multi-year time-lapse. Currently all images are stored in a single folder on a storage server. However, just trying to get the import dialogue to display the images is, so far, going extremely slowly. Slower than I anticpated, even for this many images. An hour after entering the import module and after navigating to the folder and LR has just now started showing thumbnails and will populate about 20 images every 30-45 seconds.I'm fully prepared for the process to take some time, but was curious if I should let it just chug along overnight and then import tomorrow when it's (hopefully) done recognizing the images? Should I go back and break up the files into folders of 10,000 (or less?) each and import in chunks?Following Adobe's guidelines for performance optimization, I've alredy set my Raw cache to 150GB in anticipation. I've also disabled automatic XMP write and intend to render full 1:1 prev

When I click on delete rejected photos in LIGHTROOM, I get a notice that says: the files are on a volume not compatible with the trash Do you want to delete them permanently? I have the photos on an external hard drive and I can't think of why it could be.  In the privileges of the disc I have written and reading for everyone.Would anyone know what it can be?Thank you

Issue: LrC Export DNG (or Tiff) file(s) to Helicon Focus Plugin failsLightroom Classic Version Number: 11.5Camera Raw version number: 14.5OS Version Number: MacOs 12.6Steps to reproduce:Select several images in the library moduleGo to Export -> Helicon Focus (DNG) Expected result: DNG files are created, Helicon Focus is launched, DNG files are read / processed by Helicon focus.Actual result: DNG files are created in "private/var/folders/kg/T/...."After the last file is created Helicon focus is launched.As soon as Helicon Focus gets launched, all de DNG Files are deleted. If the Helicon Focus app is deleted (so it won't start) the DNG files are still created upon export but are also deleted when LrC tries to launch Helicon Focus.If I stop LrC before the last DNG file is created upon export, the DNG files do exist in the folder:"private/var/folders/kg/T/...."So the DNG files are created as expected but deleted too early before Helicon Focus can handle them. Di

I'm on Lightroom Classic 14.5.1It's really running very poorly.It has errors exporting and then will export.It won't always move onto the next image, I might have to zoom in zoom out first.It freezes on the current image and won't move to the next even though the preview window has moved on.If I close Lightroom it won't reopen. I have to reboot.It works fine again for a while and then the issues repeat all over.Is it just me?I'm running a very high spec Lenovo Thinkpad. It wasn't an issue until this version.It's getting to the point it might be easier to work in Photoshop.(Personally I think they've turned Lightroom into a bloated mess).

Hello, I recently did an update to my DJI Mavic Pro 3 and I cannot import my mp4 files into lightroom.  There seems to be some new files that come from the new DJI update?  I attached some screenshots and a photo of  the error warning on LR.
