Questions

Whilst I'm a happy LR Classic user for my professional work when it comes to one aspect of it I'm a novice: face recognition. I've recently imported all of my own personal family photos. I've got photos of my parents and grandparents, myself, my wife, her family, our children, and at all ages. Unsurprisingly it might detect a photo of me as a child as myself, as my siblings, as my children, or as my father. Similarly it sees group photos from family weddings and events and tries to tag loads of people that I don't care about.I've been going through confirming people, and/or adjusting them to the correct people, and/or deleting recognised faces - whether they are shapes in stone walls or people that are in the background of photos that I don't know.I appreciate that the recognition improves as one does more confirmations/rejections/adjustments. What I wonder though is, is there a way to tell LR to "go and have another look at the ones you guessed at earlier to see if you can make a

Problem with colors in lightroom and photoshop, i can see it good in windows visualizer, but in lightroom is this way im sending here

My problem is as follows.Any RAW (NEF)  image I use the new AI denoise on and start editing slows my M1 iMac down considerably to a point where the cooling fan noise is very noticeable and system performance very sluggish to the point where LRC becomes unusable.It should be noted that any RAW images I don’t use denoise on is fine, so I have to stress it only happens when editing an image with denoise applied.I tried all sorts GPU acceleration ON/OFF, GPU for display, increased Camera RAW cache sizes etc. only all to no avail. I did see some users reporting similar issues with both Windows and Macs on the Lightroom Queen forum but there haven’t been any satisfactory resolutions. The two recent updates to 14.5 and 14.5.1 this week haven't helped in fact if anything have made the situation worse.  Using the MacOS System monitor shows CPU useage at over 400% with a denoised and edited image but less than 10% when no denoise applied. As I said above for me the LRC latest

So, I have struggled with the print module in LRC on my Mac for a while now and it seems like others have too based on various LR tutorials on YouTube.  Specifically, when trying to use LCC profiles I get inconsistent results and recently always better results just letting the printer manage colors.  I have a Canon Pixma Pro 100.  I don't want/need to get into a long troubleshooting discussion here, rather my main question is - why is the Print Module interface different on Windows vs Mac.  Specifically, Mac has an extra button on the left side called "print settings" which seems to duplicate (and conflict) with a similar button on the right panel called "Printer".  So, Macs have four buttons along the bottom - page setup; print setting, print, and printer, while Windows "only" has three.  I am testing printing from a windows machine side by side and so far it seems more intuitive without inducing the potential for double profiling.  My main question

I'm on a Macbook Pro and recently, the three little colored dots in the upper left corner of the window is no longer visible. So, i can't 'x' out of the program or 'minimize' the program that way any longer. It is the only program or window that does not show the red/yellow/green dots now. Can someone advise on how to get this back or is the a specific change that LR has incorporated?  They do show up for Photoshop.  I've attached 2 screenshots. One with the dots and one without for reference. Thank you.  

Matériel neuf depuis peu : Mac mini M4 16GO + écran Proart Asus 279 . Malgré cela impossible de faire fonctionner l'outil réduction du bruit par l'IA depuis la version 14.1.1 de Lightroom .

I normally do all my Lightroom editing on a desktop pc, but will shortly be doing some travelling where I will be using a laptop.I plan to copy my catalogue to the laptop, and will take an external SSD with a copy of all my images.Question is: when I return from travelling, how do I update my desktop with all the new images and edits from my travels?Thanks 

I have created a preset to just assign the Adaptive Color profile to an image (I know, RAW only).  The problem is, I get different results when I use the preset vs. selecting Adaptive Color from the BASIC menu. When I created the preset, I applied Adaptive Color to a RAW image, the selected only 'Treatment & Profile' during the preset creation.  Should this work or am I doing something wrong?  BTW....the same procedure does seem to work for 'AI Denoise'. (EDIT: Actually, I must correct this....denoise appeared to work as the box was checked....however, it does not execute until you move slider or uncheck/recheck.  What is wrong that the presets do not seem to execute??)

Hello, do you have any GPU speed benchmarks for denoising? Does Lightroom also support AMD graphics cards in the calculation or only Nvidia? I'm particularly interested in the Radeon 7900 XT. I'm not entirely satisfied with the RTX 4070.Best regards, Mark

I’m editing a photo and opening mask tabs, but the app crashes after a few seconds while it’s loading. I also tried applying lens blur, and the same thing happened, it crashed again after a few seconds. This issue only occurs with this specific photo. I even tried editing some of the colors in another app and then imported it back into Lightroom, but the same issue happened. This problem does not occur with any of my other photos.

So I just did the most recent update for Lightroom Classic through CC. When I opened it I noticed the AI Denoise option has been replaced. When I selected the denoise option the following errors happened in the pictures attached. Any ideas to fix this?

When I had to send my computer out for repair, I removed all apps. When I got it back, I had to do a factory reset. All of my catalogs are on my external hard drive but now it is not showing. When I can get it to show by plugging it in after starting LRC, I only see files from this year and it looks like I have to import them. I reverted to the previous install, but that didn't help. Please help!

LrC as well as Ps both crash when I attemp to initiate Denoise. I assume it is a driver issue, but I have the latest Intel ARC driver installed. Error report below: <?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE AdobeCrashReport SYSTEM "AdobeCrashReporter.dtd"><crashreport serviceVersion="19.1.0.202407311011_0e3a4ce" clientVersion="19.1.0.202407311011_0e3a4ce" applicationName="Adobe Lightroom Classic" applicationVersion="14.0" build="[202410032041-b815649f]" source="Windows-Client" crashType="n/a"><time year="2024" month="10" day="15" hour="10" minute="20" second="4" timeoffset="-360" timezone="Central Daylight Time" crsessionduration="26"/><user guid="5c55832a-1971-4774-8034-674b9a4a77b5"/><system platform="Windows 11 Pro" osversion="11.0" osbuild="22631" applicationlanguage="en-us" userlanguage="en-US" oslanguage="en-US" ram="32461" machine="Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 7 155H" model="Intel64 Family 6 Model 170 Stepping 4" cpuCount="22" cpuType="8664" cpuFreq="2

In Lightroom the picture looks normal in the library. When I edit it, it looks normal in the develop module. When I look at it (after editing) in the library it is completely ruined. I have included pictures. Please help. 

I am nearly 83 and would like to buy standalone Lighroom Classic without having to use the cloud (I will be saving to external hard drive instead for my heirs) and without subscription and without plan.  But it seems all the Adobe Photoshop products now require cloud and subscription plans.  

I’m working with a number of external drives with various catalogs in them. When working with one drive Alby2 the memory of my MacBook for what appears to be no reason filled up with all the dng into my pictures folder with Files from that drive. As this virtually filled up the 1 tb of memory it stopped my LRC and everything else in the computer. What also has happened that all the files in that drive appear to be disengaged from my hard drive.Spoke with Apple and they helped me remove all the excess files & I put all the dng files onto another drive. Thinking I had resolved it I started looking at my images in the new catalog that I had created from the files that had filled the memory and once again the Mac drive filled up again.  Can someone please help me sort this out as I’m not very technical. 

I have updated the firmware on z8.....i have updated to mac os sequoia 15.6.1.......I have lightroom classic 14.5.1......why ...why do I have to take out my sd card to get it to upload from camera. I have never had this problem in 15 years. I do not like taking my cards in and out of camera and risking corruption. 

Hi all, Edited just fine this morning. Come home and tried to launch LRC and get the error saying an error prevented LRC from opening catalog. Read online. Suggests to get rid of the lock file. I do not have a lock file where my LRC catalog is. I have an urgent deadline and need help figuring this out. Please help! Mac OS Sonona 14.4.1 Latest version of LRC

Hi just updated to latest Lightroom classic, 14.5.1  since then if I try to add a mask by selecting subject or background where 1 person is main part of pic... it just won't work, i get a little part of it masking, tried on loads of headshots/bodyshots, no correct masking. Worked perfectly before update... any suggestion please?

Hi, since updating last night my Lightroom Classic, (14.5.1) my masks wont select properly. If I do subject select it basically selects half a subject and the background, if I select background, it masks everything!   Almost like one big mask across the image, rather than how it was pretty perfectly selecting people.  Any idea's anyone please?Deb

Hi Folks, I find it very difficult to adjust the exposure (and other controls) in the develop module using the mouse.  It jumps all over the place even with very small movements of the mouse.  Can someone please tell me if there is a way to get better control over the sliders?  The help files are terrible in this regard and the Internet in general doesn't provide any answers.  Adobe should be ashamed for not making this simpler.  I spend a tremendous amount of time trying to get the exposure adjustment that I am looking for.  Any help is greatly appreciated. Bruce
