When I open the Remove Tool and select a pre-existing brush point it will re-initialize "Removing Area Using AI" and it will attempt to generate new content before I inevitably have to move my cursor to cancel it.  Sometimes clicking a brush point will trigger this behavior other times it won't. It's not consistent and impossible to figure out when it will or won't happen. Simply clicking the brush points should not trigger generating new content. Sometimes, I'm just selecting the brush point to then edit the mask by adding or subtracting from it. Triggering regeneration of the content means I'm having to waste clicks canceling it every time I'm attempting to edit the mask. It's really, really annoying!!!!!!

I am having such a hard time seeing anything with the dark grey side panels. I'm on a PC and have gone to Edit>Preferences and changed the Background color on the Main and Secondary windows to light grey, however the Folders Panel, etc. is still dark grey and I'm having a hard time using the panels when they are so dark.I would appreciate any help.Thank you.Irene

to switch from Mac mini 2018 (Intel) to Mac mini 2025 M4 do I need to reinstall LrC and PS? or I can install the system from a Time Machine backup filethanks for the answers

Lightroom says not enough space for lightroom backup even though there is space.I have even cleared out my mackbook by putting photos on an external drive and have also deletedCaches, lunch agents, launch deamons, scripting additions, startup items and ran disk first aid, restarted computer and LR etc.LR says my next backup is 6.98 GB and i have 190GB free. What could be the ptoblem ?This has only happened since updating to Sequoia 15.6 so could that be the problem or is it coincidence?

Desktop PC.  I9-12900, 64GB memory, GPU is an Nvidia 4060TI.  All the storage is on M.2 NVMe with images on an 8 TB SSD.  Images are nothing special – I see the same behavior whether it’s a 20 megapixel image or a 50 megapixel one.   I looked through several of the topics in here (some from older versions, some from LRC13) from other people having performance issues with Lightroom 13.X.  Hopefully, I’ve missed something simple, but I didn’t see much to resolve the problems.   I have to add myself to the people having problems with slow, laggy, hanging operations in Lightroom 13.   I upgraded from the AMD GPU that worked OK with LRC 12 to the 4060 TI was because once I started using LRC 13, performance deteriorated.  I thought throwing a more capable GPU at the problem would cure it.  Didn’t work.    It’s not a problem as near as I can tell when doing normal, “adjust sliders in Develop” or “select a keyword” sort of adjustments.&nbs

Mac Book Pro M1 internal 1T SSDI (free space 250 GB) 16 GB RAM Sequoia 15.5. LRC Version 14.4 Camera Raw 17.4. I wanted to delete Lightroom Catalog previews.irdata, which took up 192 GB. To be on the safe side, I wanted to make a backup on an external SSD (format exfat) with 850 GB of free storage space beforehand. At around 180 GB, I received an error message saying that there was not enough storage space!?! The external SSD was full!!! On another attempt, everything was supposedly copied, but Finder showed that only 32 GB of 192 GB had been copied. Renaming it to previews_OLD.irdata did not change anything. Furthermore, despite renaming it, no new previews.irdata was created when LRC was started. I still only have previews_OLD.irdata. What do I need to do so that I can save the 192 GB to an external SSD  so that I can delete it from my laptop? 

Bonjour Il semble que le Nikon Z5II avec l'objectif S 24-70 f/4 ne soit as reconnu dans la correction d'objectif ?Merci

Today I was getting ready to import some photos on my iMac.  A message popped up asking if I wanted to allow full disk access.  I was trying to quickly dismiss this, but I must have accidentally clicked allow.  So now when I open the import box to import some film scans on my desktop, there are litterally thousands and thousands of images that pop up... including every icon and photo anywhere on my iMac.  Needless to say I don't want all of this showing up.  How can I revert back to the previous settings?  I only want Lightroom to access what it was able to before... which was the external drive where my photos are stored and only the photos I upload, and import from either the SD card or desktop.

Hallo, ich brauche bitte eire Hilfe. Auf meinem MacBook von 2024 funktioniert LRC nach dem 14.4 Update nicht mehr. Der Katalog öffnet zwar, aber es beginnt sofort zu kreiseln. was kann ich machen?

 HiI'm a full time photographer working with lightroom for the past 18yrs.Since recently, I guess after the last update, lightroom became unworkably slow.It's slow when going to the next photo in the develop module. Sometimes I have to wait +7 seconds before I can even see the next photo. I optimized my catalog.I have enough diskspaceHere are my system settings:Lightroom Classic version: 14.4 [ 202506051112-5918896a ] License: Creative Cloud Language setting: en-GB Operating system: Mac OS 15 Version: 15.3.2 [24D81] Application architecture: arm64 Logical processor count: 10 Processor speed: NA SqLite Version: 3.36.0 Power Source: Plugged In, 81% Built-in memory: 32.768,0 MB Dedicated GPU memory used by Lightroom: 9.616,8MB / 21.845,3MB (44%) Real memory available to Lightroom: 32.768,0 MB Real memory used by Lightroom: 1.918,7 MB (5,8%) Virtual memory used by Lightroom: 439.590,7 MB Memory cache size: 1.137,0MB Internal Camera Raw version: 17.4 [ 2272 ] Maximum thread count

My catalog will not backup when I close out of Lightroom Classic. Below is te catalog settings and I have never seen the backup path as being marked *offline before.I originally had an alert at the bottom of the window stating that my backup path was on the same volume as my catalog. When I Googled and looked at some troubleshooting, all the solutions were telling me to direct my catalog backups to a different location storage location from where my actual catalog was being stored (e.g. instead of storing the backups on my C: Drive, I moved the location to my 😧 Drive). I do not get any sort of dialogue box that pops up when I close LRC, so I can't tick any boxes with regards to optimizing the catalog or testing the integrity of the catalog. I am using Version 14.2 on Windows 11. 

I'm trying to set up a simple dialog with an edit field the value of which persists using the code below, called using  LrPluginInfoProvider in my info file.

I have the Photo Subscription for LRC and Photoshop.  How many uses per month do I get to use the REMOVE TOOL FROM FIREFLY with the AI box checked.  I heard the Adobe sent out a letter/email explaining all this but neither Adobe support or my email shows that I ever got it.  Did anyone out ther get it???

I understand that Lightroom Classic runs through an Intel emulator on Microsoft Surface 7 laptops since they use an ARM processor.  Apparantly Lightroom hasn't been updated to use ARM. However Photoshop can use the ARM processor.  But now, when I make initial edits in Lightroom and want to jump to Photoshop from there it doesn't directly connect. Is there some way to have Lightroom "find" Photoshop that I'm not aware of?

My raw files are stored in folders by date taken: eg. 2025_7_24.  After processing in Lightroom I've exported them back to the same directory with a slight name change.  Lightroom still has instructions to 'export into same folder as original photo.  Recently Lightroom has started exporting to a new folder: eg 2025-7-24....using hyphens instead of underscores.  I'm at a loss how to g

Mesmo fazendo a atualização (há um botão para isso na msg) o erro volta a aparecer depois de alguns instantes.

My normal workflow is to open images in lightroom, and then if I want to make changes, right click and select edit in photoshop. I have now downloaded photoshop beta but I can't find a similar way to send images from lightroom to PS beta. right clicking dosen't give it as an option and if I go to preferences (as suggested) it can't seem to find the PS beta app as an alternative. I am just looking for a simple way of sending images from lightroom to PS beta - and ideally be given the option of what version of PS i want the image to go to

I'm on mac and I'm experiencing a weird green tint to my images when working with the merge-to-hdr function. I haven't changed anything in my screen's profile, or anything else, besides updating to latest build of the OS( Sequoia). See attached screenshots. After looking at another post with a simliar issue, I did check the histogram, which does seem to be oddly green in the highlights. Any ideas why this is suddenly happening? 

Hi.   I am using LrC V14.0.1 on a mac, and it seems like I cannot revert an image back to the original. Even after resetting the image, there is still a big difference between the before and after.     The above screenshot was taken after I reset the image. Is there any way that I can get the original back, because I prefer that edit over the non-edited 'after' image.   Thanks!
