Questions

after I edited images with photoshop from literoom classic, it's save to lite room classic for a couple of hours or a day, but next day when I reopen literoom classic, all the photos that I edited with photoshop are gone, literoom shows as error.  file could not be found.  what should I do? 

I imported 45 raw files this morning, went through a dozen or so the sme as I have with thousands before in the past 10 years - now, for no apparent reason the Edit In menu under Photo is entirely greyed out...I see this was asked in 2016 and the answer had to do with smart previews, but again, this same batch of files (which were converted to dngs by DxO PureRAW, also part of my normal workflow) was working fine until an hour ago. I have restarted the MacBook as well as quit and restarted LRC, to no avail. MacBook Pro M3 on Sequoia 15.5LRC v 14.4 Thanks for any insights 

Hello, I'm new to this community and I'm hoping someone can help me. I purchased Lightroom 3.2 over 10 years ago and had it on my old computer. During that time, apparently Adobe updated it to 5.3, then 5.6, and finally 5.7.1. I installed the original 3.2 on my new computer and I'd like to get it updated just as the old computer was. I fired up the old computer and found the installation files for 5.3, 5.6, and 5.7.1 that had been downloaded from Adobe but when I installed 5.7.1 it asks for a serial number. I used my 3.2 number but it didn't work. Does anybody know how I can get it to work, like it did on my old computer? I still have the old computer if I need to search for a particular file that needs to be copied to the new one. Thanks for any help you can give me. I know I'll eventually have to go the subscription route but I'd rather not just yet.

All the since the previous LRC update I have noticed my LRC generally misbehaving.  Its slowed down, lags, and generally mishbehaving.  I have tried adding my catalog and previews to a flash external drive, I have tried rebuilding the catalog, I have tried different configurations for the graphics card etc.  But its getting pretty old now not having a consitent software tool.  I need to count on the speed and efficieny of LRC.  For example I will select an image with edits and paste the previous version edits to the selected photo and the button depresses but nothing happens.  Its like the system ignores the selection.  I  will repress the button and then it works after a lag.  This phantom issue is not consistent and can be with several LRC features.  The catalog scrolls smoothly but the edits and various features are laggy or require a second selection.  I have stopped sync and tried lots of different trouble shooting ideas.&nbsp

Can someone recommend professional help to find my LR catalog files.  I had to reinstall windows and LR and now I can't find my current catalog.  And yes, I've done a search on *.lrcat.  

Once I had a photo where it created a halo/ghosting effect to the side of a person giving her a second transparent outline, at first I thought I had a copy of a smart mask not recalculated, but I checked, no masks in this photo. It was even visible in the small preview.I have it turning a black jeans into a blue jeans. Anyone else noticed some funny stuff with Adaptive Profiles? 

Running Lightroom Classic Ver. 14.4.Nikon D7500Windows 11 Home Ver. 24H2Windows, Lightroom, and the Display Drivers are all the latest versions.When I use the Denoise feature, the image comes out completely messed up. Editing this photo in raw:Denoise feature gave this result:I tried a number of photos, and also got the same result on an old photo that successfully denoised with a older version of LrC.My workflow is Import>Develop>Denoise. I get no error messages. The denoise result looks the same in LrC as it does after I export the image as well.I saw some previous posts that said lightroom didn't like dual GPUs, so I also tried disabling UHD Graphics 630. that did not help. And I reset my preferences. That did not help. Any thoughts on a fix?Thank you in advance.Graham. Here is my system info:Lightroom Classic version: 14.4 [ 202506051112-5918896a ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: enOperating system: Windows 11 - Home Premium EditionVersio

When I download pictures into LRC they are noticeably less sharp than than when viewed in PS???? Why and how to fix.  Intel & Nvidia graphic cards have both been upgraded.  

Mac OS 12.2.1LR Classic 11.2 Camera Raw 14.2Nikon D750 I set the White Balance in camera to 5880K. After import into LR Classic and using the Adobe Standard or Adobe Color profile the LRC White Balance is displayed as 6100 under the As Shot setting of the Develop Module. Nowhere in the LRC accessible metadata I can find a dataset about the in camera settings. Using e.g. the Nikon NX Studio software the White Balance is correctly shown as "Original Value (Color Temp. (5880K, 0, 0) which is for me an indicator that this information is available in the RAW file but not processed by LRC.  I can confirm this behaviour for imported files from an SD card as well as using Tethered Capture function of the software. Here is a table of in camera values and LRC which shows the difference across the White Balance range of the camera. This is easy to replicate and I am therefore not attaching files.  My expectation for the software is that the true in camera settin

Eu tive que formatar o meu Windows e reinstalar todo o pacote Adobe, mas quando abro o Lightroom, ocorre um erro e ele fecha o programa automaticamente. Isso se repete. Busquei ajuda, recebi uma mensgaem para apagar o ítem CURRENT da pasta do programa catalog-name.lrcat-data.Mas não adiantou.

Recently, while editing files on LRC, Lightroom seems to "cough" and stall....afterwards, LRC shows all the files in the folder I was working are gone. I am unable to reimport the files into the respective sub-directory. Running Windows 11 and the most recent copy of LRC. Any ideas?

To the Adobe team, I would like to formally request the reintroduction of a feature that existed in previous versions of Lightroom Classic and was incredibly useful: the option for the masking tool to remember and maintain the last-used adjustment. In the current versions, every time I stop using the masking tool, it reverts to "Custom." This forces me to open the presets menu and manually select my last favorite adjustment, over and over again. While it may seem like a small, additional step, for photographers who work with series of thousands of photos and apply multiple mask adjustments per image, this repetitive clicking results in a considerable loss of time and a frustrating workflow interruption. I understand the new masking tool is powerful, but this minor loss of efficiency significantly impacts my productivity. Please, seriously consider re-including this option so the tool can "remember" the last-used adjustment, or at least offer the option to configure it this way. I am co

Hallo, ich glaube ich habe ein Problem mit meinem Laptop und komme nicht weiter.Ich besitze seit letztes Jahr einen Laptop mit Intel i9 14900HX CPU sowie GeForce RTX4070 oder 4080 Gpu (bin mir gerade nicht sicher). Problem ist folgendes:Beim Exportieren, taktet die CPU nicht hoch. In Lightroom steht bei der Taktung auch nur 2,3GHZ.Es macht keinen Unterschied, ob ich bei den Exporteinstellungen GPU nutze oder automatisch hinterlegt lasse. Gibt es irgendwelche Einstellungen, damit Lightroom die max. Performance nutzt? Kann so etwas durch den Umzug alter/neuer PC verursacht worden sein, dass die alten CPU Werte irgendwo hinterlegt sind?

I've been having several issues today with Lightroom Classic v14.4 (Apple silicon/Intel). I'm running it on a 2021 Macbook Pro (16GB Memory and Apple M1 Pro Chip) with the Sequoia 15.6 operating system. My computer and Lightroom are both up to date and this issue began randomly today, but it's been slowing down my workflow and in many cases stopping it entirely.   The first issue is with masking: when I try to brush on part of an image, the mask tool freezes entirely and will basically freeze my LR program entirely. I'm unable to close the mask window and adjust any other setting after I've used the tool. I tried to use the masking brush to adjust part of an image and then I was unable to click any setting nor close the window. This happens on almost every image.   The second issue is with cloning/spot healing/etc. I've attached a screen recording of the cloning issue. It's been happening with the detect mode cloning aspect, spot clone, and healing brush. I'll go to brush ove

I recently used the "merge to panorama" tool in LRC to merge a set of 8 photos. LRC had no problem preparing the preview merge and the preview image looked good. However, the finished file displayed a weird variability in color hue. The image color hue looked normal at the left side of the pano but gradually shifted from left-to-right to a much warmer hue. After restarting the app, then the computer, then updating the graphics driver, the problem persisted. Eventually, I selected the 8-photo set in LRC, opened them as layers in Photoshop, and then used PS's merge to panorama tool to create the pano. This worked fine and created a finished pano that doesn't have the weird color hue shift. I'm using version 11.2 of LRC and 14.2 of ACR on a Windows 11 laptop (ver. 21H1, OS build 22000.556)

I keep losing the zoom slider, how do I get it back please?

I use an iMac with the latest version of the OS.Lightroom classic version 14.4 (latest} an also the latest version of the Loupedeck software, UI:6.1.4.22647;LPS:6.1.4.22653. When I reboot my iMac, all software is loaded, and when I start LrC, my Loupedeck works as expected.So far, so good. Once I quit LrC, and reopen it, no dials or buttons on the Loupedeck react.Only a reboot gets it going again. When I connect the same Loupedeck device to my Macbook, all is working fine, every time I start LrC.I think this proves correct functioning of the Loupedeck device. Any help is much appriciated.  

The" missing keywords". use to be displayed in the smart collections panel. But for some reason it is gone now.

After the last update, any raw files in Lightroom appear with random colors when using presets. When I export to Photoshop, the photo looks normal.    My example is a photo that I applied a sepia edit to and it shows these red and green spots. It looks normal in Photoshop. The 2nd photo is after it has been exported to Photoshop.   Nothing else has changed -- same monitor, same camera, same edits and it doesn't do it with all presets and it never carries over to Photoshop.     [Mod: Moved from the Photoshop forum ]

I don't remember exactly which version of Lr Classic for MacOs I'm experiencing the following issue:- Launch Lr- Import RAW photos from an SD card.- Lr converts the photos to DNG.- I start evaluating DNG photos with colored Flags and Labels, but these attributes aren't visible in the grid view (for example, rejected photos don't appear shaded and with a black flag).- I quit Lr and relaunch it.- Now in the grid view I see all the previously set attributes, and if I assign new ones, they are perfectly visible.
