Questions

Bought a new computer and immediately installed lightroom classic to edit photos for my business. Worked just fine. Then the next time I tried to use it, my compter had linked my old computer lightroom information and now I it will not allow me to import new photos to edit. I have tried uninstalling and then re-installing Lightroom. So frustrated and have spent hours on this and nothing is working. I need help! Please!

Bonjour à tous, Depuis la dernière MAJ, l'outil réduction du bruit a perdu en fonctionnalités : plus d'aperçu et plus de possibilité de choisir l'intensité (50% appliqué direct) !Que se passe-t-il ?Merci pour vos avis éclairés.  

 Windows 11 It's reporting the following error, intermittently when synching metadate over multiple images.  This can sometimes be fixed by closing/opening LRC, sometimes, not so much ~~~~~~Arggh, I couldn't replicate, but the error was to the effect that the database or catalog failed ~~~~~  Rebooting the computer was the only working solution.It's also Refusing to accept my titles and descriptions.  When I enter them and move to the next file, if I return to the one just edited, there is no title nor description.  If I type the first letter of the title previously entered, the suggestion of the entire title appears.  After closing and reopening several times, the title and description finally appear.  This is not a lightning fast computer, but it's no slowpoke, either. Also, when two images are stacked and one of them is labeled red, it cannot be unlabeled withoug unstacking 

Hello, I'm finding that LRc starts to become less responsive after a few minutes of edting pictures. I see this mainly in simple things like trying to crop a picture, or even scroll through the filmstrip at the bottom of the screen in Develop mode. The program stops and starts and jerks as I try to do things. I try things like clearing the cache, restarting and it doesn't seem to fix it. I'm really only running LRc and a browser at the same time, so I'm unsure what is going on. Any ideas? System info posted below. Lightroom Classic version: 13.1 [ 202312111226-41a494e8 ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: enOperating system: Windows 11 - Business EditionVersion: 11.0.22621Application architecture: x64System architecture: x64Logical processor count: 32Processor speed: 3.4GHzSqLite Version: 3.36.0CPU Utilisation: 0.0%Built-in memory: 65445.7 MBDedicated GPU memory used by Lightroom: 10480.0MB / 24340.0MB (43%)Real memory available to Lightroom: 65445.7 MBRea

When I import files from my Autel Evo 2 Pro V3 the .dngs look completely different than the actual photos. They import fine but when I click on them the zoom level changes and they turn neon red - the white balance sliders go to the far ends. Also the only profile availble is "XL706" and I can't add or change others. Adaptive color is the only other option and it makes the colors worse.  No amount of sliding fixes this insane color. Everything looked fine while taking the photos but they are unusable.  I shot on auto white baalcne and tried again at 5500k - does not make a difference. The other thing is all my presets are in italics aka will not work with the selected photos which is a dng, which is what I used to make the preset. This does not happen with any other photos from any other camera. For $3500 this drone f*cking blows. Do not buy it. 20MP my ass, 6k? Nope, 4k? Maybe but its a stretch. Controls are garabge too.  Any ideas whats happeni

I messed up moving files around outside Lightroom to the point there is no longer any convention in the file names. My situation now is that I have a missing folder with 222 images. Those 222 images are present in the folder with 687 images. Is there a way to find them automatically by matching metadata such as time taken?

Do I need to disable color management in LR when printing with custom ICC?

I have a 2017 Mac book pro but I cannot update the operating system to 13 or above, which is required to install the latest version of Lightroom. AS a consequece I cannot currently use LR on my Mac. The mac is in perfect working order and I have no desire to buy a new one. Is there anytging I can do?

13.0.1 on Mac Studio M2 Max 96GB RAM. When trying to open a photo in a third-party app for editing, the "Preparing file for editing" progress bar instantiates but doesn't progress beyond 0%. If I view the source image folder in finder, I can see that the tif or PSD has been created almost immediately as expected, but then nothing happens...the progress bar stays stuck and the third-party editor doesn't launch. I've been able to reproduce with On1 Suite, Luminar Neo and SilverEfex. On rare occasions, when I've had the patience, the third-party application has eventually launched after 20-30 minutes. This worked as expected in versions prior to 13.

Hello,The cloud upload apparently gets stuck on one photo.The upload runs endlessly, but the number of photos remaining to be uploaded (973) does not decrease. However, the log shows no error, and I also don’t know which photo it is stuck on.What can be done in this case?I have the newest LR Classic Version (14.5) on Windows.I really appreciate any help. Thanks!

I created the catalog a few days ago and it worked for a while. I imported about 200 photos and processed most of them. Then the next day I noticed that the photos reverted to the original imports. I then discovered that several catalog files were automatically going to the OneDrive Recycle bin. I was unsuccessful trying to restore these files and I believe the catalog is hopelessly corrupt. I have not been able to open LR Classic the last few days. Should I reinstall Lightroom Classic?  I have about 6,000 photos in another catalog. I do not know if this catalog is corrupt, too. 

Hi, I have to admit that I'm a very curious person, maybe I'm a photojournalist also because of this. I'd like to know why still on August 22, 2025, working with Lightroom Classic , "Selecting the Crop Tool will exit Reference View" and if I'm doing the same thing with Lightroom Desktop I'm able to crop in the Reference View. Why Adobe? Why?!?

I have 11 years of photos in my main Lightroom catalog. On my harddrive, the photos are put into folders by year taken, and then a folder for each "shoot". I am unable to find (for example) photos taken in 2024.  You can see a snapwhot of my catalog. Filtering by 2024 does not work. I don't understand the order of folders displayed or how to manage it. You can see just a snapshot of my catalog.

Hi,I'm confused about the remove photo from Lightroom process, which has changed from how I remeber it. The message used to say "Remove from catalog but it will remain on disk" but now the following message is displayed...Remove Photo from Lightroom CatalogThis photo will be removed from your Lightroom Catalog and any synced Lightroom Client. Select "Delete from Disk" to also move the selected photos on your computer to the Finder''s trash I guess it's something to do with "any synced Lightroom Client", which I didn't even knwo you could do!! I need to unassociate the client maybe?Has this change been rolled out across Lightroom CC or have I inadverently changed something? I do have Lightroom CC running on a desktop Mac and a Macbook Pro but obviously different catalogs and the Macbook LrCC keep asking "Sync this catalog instead?" to sync to the Mac catalog, which it never used to do?I just want to keep the Mac (for office work) and Macbook (for field work) catalogs separate with

라이트룸클래식 컬렉션 작업시 처음에는 컬렉션 작업이 잘되다가 어느정도 작업시 컬렉션에 이동이 되지 않음

 I need BADLY the jpeg file name OR a sequential number to print ON THE IMAGE when exporting (not renaming a file or jpeg).  This way the client can tell me which image they want when i send 100 similiar images.Why is this not in Lightroom? Should be in watermark editor OR in export. The work around is the PRINT area, which is quite barbaric in nature for digital. PLEASE ADOBE?   You mess with Ai and other useless features, but we NEED features that help us SELL images so we can PAY you. Contact me if you need Clarification.

I have been experiencing a persistent rendering issue in both Lightroom Classic and Lightroom CC for over 3 months. The problem occurs on HiDPI/4K displays (including my laptop’s 2880x1800 screen and dual external 4K monitors). In Lightroom Classic: Develop mode only displays the photo in a quarter of the image area. Library module displays normally. Disabling GPU acceleration fixes the problem, but this is not an acceptable long-term workaround. In Lightroom CC: Both Grid and Detail view only show the image in a quarter of the expected display area. Unlike Classic, disabling GPU acceleration does not help.

I have Windows 10 Pro and Lightroom Classic 14.5 installed.I've been experiencing system instability issues since early 2025.Lightroom has corrupted my catalogs and is almost impossible to work with, because the error appears just 10 seconds after opening it.There's no time to load the photos into the gallery.Sometimes the catalog lasts a little longer.But then it crashes when I try to import photos.Or it crashes when I open the print module.The errors are constant, and I can't find a way to resolve them.I've uninstalled Lightroom to install previous versions, and it didn't work.I've formatted my PC to rule out operating system installation errors or possible driver errors.I've installed the latest version of all the drivers for my computer.However, Lightroom still crashes.I've opened my catalogs using the "catalog integrity check" option, but Lightroom doesn't detect any errors.However, once the catalog is launched, it causes a crash error again.After each error, Lightroom asks to che

Hi all!  I've tried searching out the answer to this issue using multiple search queries but haven't been able to find this question previously asked/resolved.  I did spot some issues that had been posted about regarding Mac computer permissions, and making sure to select "Copy" (as opposed to "Add") in the import dialogue, but neither seemed applicable here. However that said, apologies in advance if this has been asked before and I just was unable to come up with the magical question words to plug into Google. SYSTEM SPECS: I'm currently running Lightroom 6.10 on a Windows 7 computer with two internal drives: an SSD as the primary drive with the OS on it ("Local Disk (C:)") and an HDD where I store the bulk of my files, including my photos ("RUSS (B:)")BACKGROUND: Historically when I've imported photos off of my camera/memory card my workflow has been to have the "Don't Import Suspected Duplicates" option checked, with the Destination panel set up to organize the imported p

Hello,   I am experiencing a recurring issue with the Sky Mask AI tool in the latest version of Lightroom. After creating a Sky Mask, it initially works fine and appears in the Masking panel. However, when I close and reopen Lightroom (or sometimes after syncing), the Sky Mask remains in the list but becomes completely empty, as if the detection has disappeared.   Important details:   The mask is still listed in the Masking panel, but there is no selection inside it. This only happens with Sky Masks. Other AI masks, such as Subject or People, are preserved correctly. I have already tried clearing the cache, updating Lightroom to the latest version, and disabling GPU acceleration, but the issue persists. I am working with RAW files, and the problem repeats consistently.     It looks like the Sky AI detection is failing to reload after reopening, leaving an empty mask. Could you please confirm if this is a known bug and if a fix is planned?   Thank

 Hi! I have had an imac m3 16gb ram for 1 and a half years and editing on it is fantastic, truly amazing!I have had an new imac m4 in my studio for a few weeks (with better ram - 24gb, and better processor version)  and today I noticed something that tires my eyes and slows down my work. This effect is blurring the photo for a moment after zooming or using any slider or editing option from the program. I started searching the web and read about suggestions with creating previews for optimization and direct catalog optimization itself. Unfortunately, it does not help. I noticed that on my imac m3 I have the use of the graphics processor turned on, (on automatically) and probably thanks to this I owe the comfort of work for the eyes and fluidity at my home. Unfortunately, according to the information that Lightroom gives me in the settings I cannot turn it on on the imac m4 in my studio because it is not supported, the option is not available, not clickable, grayed out. I have

Trying to print a 11x14 but it will only print 11x13 1/4.  The last 3/4 is just blank, white space.  All the settings say it is set for a 11x14 borderless. The picture on the screen shows the complete picture.  Never prited anything this big.   Beginer.
