When importing images into LRC, while viewing in the Library mode, they look properly exposed; as shot in camera. When switching to the Develop mode, the images appear properly exposed for about 1 second, but then they switch to very dark; i.e. at least 2-3 stops too dark. How do I correct this?

Just noticed that there are two versions (2024 & 2025) of PS installed on my PC and LRc was actually linked to PS 2024. There was no any issue in the past with PS 2024 (using upto 6GB RAM) when saving edited file back to LRc. But once removed PS 2024 and used only PS 2025 (with AI removal) then LRc is now staring to crash when an edited file saved back to LRc. The crashing is clearly memory usage related - LRc using upto 12 GB RAMs & PS using upto 9 GB RAMs. At same time the GPU is using up to 14 GB RAM. I have 32GB RAM, 3GB GPU RAM with 13GB shared RAM. When adding it all togather, it is almost all 35GB are used by both PS (GPU) & LRc (GPU). Configured 32GB page files (virtual memory) to fix LRc crashing issue but now LRc is still crashing once reached to this limits. This is clear a bug in LRc when it is running in the background to receiving file from PS.

Lightroom Classic says that it is always uploading 9 photos. (It used to say 3 photos.) Clicking on the little cloud in the upper right corner of the Lightroom Classic window shows that message about uploading 9 photos. It's been that way for years and across versions of Lightroom Classic. It continues in Release 14.4 on Windows. The Preferences Sync page says there is no sync activities. Rebuilding the sync data does not resolve the problem. @Sameer K, in another thread, suggested looking at Lightroom on the web and checking Deleted files, but there are no problem files there. Optimizing the catalog does not resolve the problem. This is not a major problem, just an annoyance. Lightroom still shuts down fine.

Since upgrading to LrC 14.4 I have noticed major issues with stars, flags, colors (possibly other meta-data, but not used in my workflow). Specifically when using a keyboard shortcut (e.g. 2 to set to 2 star rating), the change in status is not displayed, unless viewed in Loupe View (keyboard: E) and can even display inconsistently in different views. I am expecting behavior like previous version of LrC where such metadata is visible in the flimstrip, develop mode (keyboard: D), and in Grid view (keyboard: G) and that the displays are consistent in all of these.   LrC v 14.4 MacOS Sequoia 15.5 (24F74) on Apple M1 hardware   Steps to reproduce: A: In develop (or grid) mode press 2 B: In develop (or grid) mode press X C: In develop (or grid) mode press 6   Expected outcome:  A: Rating of current image set to 2 stars.  2 stars displayed on film strip, 2 stars displayed below image when in grid mode B: Flag of current image set to reject. black X flag displaye

Hey guys, I've been experiencing Lightroom Classic performance issues for a long time now. I've tried numerous "fixes" such as: going to the performance tab and doing all the recommended things to improve performance, building smart previews, optimizing the catalog, all files, and the catalog are all saved on my local drive, syncing with the cloud is turned off. still, it's a pain to use the software. I've kind of gotten used to it being so slow; however, at times it's too much. Especially considering that I have a pretty up-to-date system. I do not have any issues whatsoever with any other Adobe software. Here's a bit more information on what I mean by "Lightroom Classic running slow":Opening up Lightroom Classic from the taskbar with a catalog of 127 pictures takes about 1 minute!! In comparison to other Adobe software, fully opening a Premiere Pro project took about 15 seconds. After a minute + of opening Lightroom CC and it being laggy it starts workin

Improvvisamente lo strumento di ritaglio si Lightroom classic ha smesso di funzionare quando provo a trascinare un angolo per ritagliare la foto mi va automaticamente su modifica

Hallo zusammen, ich habe ein merkwürdiges Problem mit der Cloud-Synchronisation in Lightroom Classic 14.4 unter macOS 15.6. Ich habe eine Sammlung mit ca. 50 Fotos zur Synchronisation freigegeben, aber nur eines davon wurde erfolgreich mit der Adobe Cloud synchronisiert. Bei den anderen Fotos wird kein Fehler angezeigt – sie bleiben einfach dauerhaft im Status "Hochladen", ohne Fortschritt oder Hinweis auf einen Konflikt. In der Synchronisierungsaktivität steht „Hochladen“, aber nichts passiert. Was ich bereits ausprobiert habe: Voreinstellungen mit gedrückter Command-Taste zurückgesetzt → Lightroom Classic neu gestartet Synchronisierte Daten gelöscht (Lightroom-Web vollständig geleert) Sync.lrdata gelöscht → wird beim Neustart neu erzeugt Lightroom-Web-Bibliothek vollständig gelöscht (über Kontoinformationen > „Lightroom-Bibliothek löschen“) Neue Testfotos synchronisiert – das Problem bleibt bestehen   Ich habe bewusst mit wenigen Bildern getestet (3 zuerst, dann auf 50 erwe

Ive read most of the previous posts on this but havent found a solution to my issue.  On 2 differenent machines (mac studio & macbook pro) I am unable to get the calibrite profiles to save anywhere OR show up in LR.  Im certain theres something Im missing but I really can't figure out what it is.  Whecn creating the calibrite profile it says it's saving it in user > library > app support > adobe > camera raw > camera prrofiles. It will tell me 'Profile created successfully but the camera profiles  folder is empty.  I even tried saving it to the desktop in hopes I could manually upload it in LR as well.  Doesnt show up there either.  What am I missing here? (Ive also installed and uninstalled calibrite profiler several times) 

 can anyone tell me what happened here?

Is there any way to turn off the AI portion of syncing my edits? When I do my usual edit syncs (click my edited image, select a few more, and Sync Settings), it now pops up with this window that says "Your edits were synced, but updating AI settings may take some time." I have the option to Stop the AI sync, but I have to click it every time. It just showed up today and it's making my syncs take WAY longer. When I click Stop, my edits still sync as usual, but it's pretty annoying to have to click that extra button every time. I can't find any way to make it stop doing this. Anyone?? I'm using Mac OS Big sur, 11.7.8, Lightroom Classic version 12.4 (recently updated)

Bonsoir, Je suis sur Lr 14.5.1En cours de développement je bascule sur "sélectionner une source" sans rien demander !Je fais "annuler" ou "terminer" et je peux continuer mon développement sauf que je bascule après un certain temps de nouveau sur "sélectionner une source"En résumé, "sélectionner une source" revient tout le tempsJe précise avoir restaurer les paramètresMerci d'avance de votre aide

Lightroom images not updating preview with edited content within Library and sometimes the Develop module after external editing within Photoshop. This has been an ongoing issue with Lightroom Classic many versions back - it’s well overdue a fix! The current Lightroom workaround with limited success is to right-click the image - Metadata/Read Metadata from File.If that doesn’t fix it, you have to remove the image from Lightroom and synchronise the folder the image resides in to re-import the image in place again. This always corrects it. However, it makes for a very tedious workflow - So I'd love a bug fix for this! Oh, and by the way, optimising the catalogue doesn’t seem to help either. Running latest versions of Lightroom Classic 14.2 - Photoshop 26.5.0Mac Studio M2 Ultra - 64GB - Sequoia 15.4 

When I am in the Library in LR Classic, it can take 3-4 seconds in between images before the tiling finishes. Would getting a new GPU with a benchmark score of 12,000 resolve this? My current GPU has a benchmark score of 6,800. Both have Direct X12. Both GPU's have 12 gig of RAM.  

Hey I'm trying to open a Catalog from Sept. 2023 but it says it's corrupted... it tries to repair it and LR crashes at about 40%. I also tried older backups of the same catalog: same result. I really have no idea what could possibly have gone wrong. I never had this kind of issue.

bonjour,Une amie utilise LR Classic sous Windows. Dans le menu déroulant "Photo" puis "retirer la photo", elle ne peut le faire que dans le catalogue, alors que sur mon mac ou d'autres windows, on a le choix entre supprimer dans le catalogue ou supprimer sur le disque.Est ce un problème de paramétrage ?Merci

I hoped to see an update of LR Classic because the performance is so bad. Culling is nearly impossible. I can select any image in the filmstrip and it takes 30-45 seconds before the image shows up. The same with inserting development setting (synchronizing in development) or even setting star rating. I don't know what happend since the latest release? It's just a small catalog of around 4000 images.   Macbook M1 max, Sequoia 15.5, 1TB ssd, 32Gb Memory   Am I the only one having performance problems?

Hiya, So yeah, a weird one!  Hitting v no longer activates b&w mode, so I have to use the mouse, but it works when I want to toggle it off. Any ideas? Thanks,Karen ☺️🙏 V14.5 (stopped working prior to this update)macOS Sonoma 14.6.1   

After the new Lightroom update, I can’t apply Denoise to all selected photos at once. Even though I use “Sync” on all of them, after what looks like it’s running Denoise, the exported photos come out without it, and every photo shows the yellow “Need to update” button. Just to clarify, at the very beginning before editing, I apply the Remove tool to all photos because of two burnt pixels. I know the correct order should be Denoise first and then the Remove tool, but since I crop the photos afterward, I wouldn’t be able to remove the burnt pixels from all of them. Please help — right now I have to denoise every single photo individually, and it’s an extreme time-drain.

I am experiencing some strange behavior with Lightroom and an external hard drive. I am on a Mac Studio. When I import photos into LR classic the external hard drive starts going crazy clicking away like it would if you were to drag a bunch of huge folders into it. But my settings are such that all my imported photos files are on my desktop hard drive as well as my catalogs. Nothing is going onto the external hard drive but something is triggering it to go off. (only later in my workflow do I drag the folder onto the external hard drive later after editing the photos). Eventually after 30+ minutes it settles down (importing 200 photos). But here is the problem, while the hard drive is going crazy I will edit the photos in LR and often will ‘open as layers in photoshop’ multiple files into a composite and work on it in PS, then flatten and bring back into LR. But now back in LR when in Develop mode the photo is teeny tiny on the screen, just a little dot. It will not show preview full s

Hi!Adobe should really reinvent the whole system of moving photos from one catalog to another because the "Import from another catalog" function just isn't working most of the time.It is very hectic. Sometimes it doesn't even start importing and I have to restart Lightroom to even get it to work.But my main problem is it always wants to copy everything and it doesn't recognise that the photos are already in the catalog I want to move into and I just want to update the settings. So here's how I work:I have a temporary "Editing Catalog" on my SSD.But I have a final Archive Catalog on my HDD as well.Of course my photos have to be backed up so when I arrive home with my SD card, I copy the files onto the SSD and I copy the files onto the HDD as well. And I import the corresponding files into both catalogs.I import the files on the SSD into the Editing Catalog and I import the files on the HDD to the Archive Catalog.Afther that I start to work on the Editing Catalog, I do all the culli

Hi. Can anybody please suggest what might be the best laptop or tablet to use for LRC. I am struggling with a Dell laptop which I use for work too but I want a laptop/tablet just for photo editing. It's probably more than 'light' editing but I'm not a professional. Thank you

Moin, ich habe die Lightroom Version 9.1, meine Creatic Cloud behauptet, dass alles auf dem neusten Stand ist. Allerdings hätte ich gerne die neuste Version, kann mir Jemand helfen oder weiß einer wie ich die bekommen kann ?Freundliche Grüße    [Mod: Moved to the Dicussion section]

Hi, I’m having an issue.My setup includes a MacBook Pro 16" (2023) running macOS Sequoia 15.6 and an Apple Studio Display. When I use Lightroom on the Studio Display, it keeps jumping back to my MacBook screen, and the window often resizes itself or behaves glitchily. This has been happening ever since I started using an external display.The app window sometimes shrinks unexpectedly or becomes unstable.Is there any way to fix this?Thanks in advance for your help!

I've noticed that since the last couple of updates LrC often stutters when I select a series of images and apply a preset. I'm talking about less than 10 images and it seems random if it will happen or not. When it does the mouse will continue to move but the LrC UI seems frozen then a few seconds later becomes responsive again. The number of images doesn't see to matter, it can happen with just 2 or 10 but never seems to happen with just 1. Auto-sync is enabled. I've tried to find repeatable steps so I can record it but no luck. Anyone else noticed similar behaviour?
