Questions

I recently upgraded my old Canon 5D Classic (!) to Canon EOS R and I am struggling with editing.My good ol' tried and true presets look dull - especially in the skintones. Most presets use either the Adobe Color profile or Adobe Standard. But whether I use presets or not I have big problems getting the look I want. My experience:Adobe Color looks absolutely dull. The skintones look washed out, grey and have a cyan/green tint which is impossible to correct - unless I use ALL the sliders available in ALL the panels. And this "breaks" my presets and changes the look I want.Adobe standard looks flat and magenta.Adobe standard V2 looks dull - like Adobe color. The skin tones look lifeless.Then I try to change to Camera standard and Camera standard V2 - and this changes everything to harsh contrasty orange.In other words: I am spending way too much time correcting my photos to make them look pleasing and natural. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance.

This has been a long standing issue and I can't for the life of my figure out why searching for "street" for example will also include pictures of birds with no keyword "street" ... what gives!

Using a Macbook Pro M1 just upgraded to Sequoia, with Adobe LR Classic 14.0.1, and a Fuji GFX100 with tethered capture (ver 1.29.0 latest version), LR tethered capture crashes. Hard crash for the plugin. Any ideas?    [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]  

Is there a way to change the text color on the folder titles in Lightroom to make them easier to read?

Hi - I am a long time Lightroom user but I have not used Mobile on my iPad.  This summer I loaded Lightroom mobile and love it.  So much more capable than the native photo app and the AI object remove is amazing.  So much faster than on my (ancient) desktop. Anyway, I have just returned from a trip and have 1,500 photos that I need to sync from the cloud to the desktop.  I think I have it all set up ok but Lightroom classic sync is 'stalled' showing it is syncing 1,071 photos (wnen I click the cloud icon).  I thought maybe it was just taking its time since there are some videos in there, but I left the computer on overnight and in the morning it still showed I have 1,071 photos syncing.  I have rebooted the computer and iPad multiple times but the cloud icon still shows it is syncing 1,071 photos. The 'All synced photos' is showing zero.  I have been doing some reading and I think I need to do a reset.  I went to Preferences/LightRoom S

I updated my lr today and now when I try to a mask it just crashes or wont work.  Have tried endless things to diagnose with adobe agents but nothing so far has worked.  It started working a bit just now and the agent said it was due to the catalogue being stored on dropbox.  Worked this way for years, anyway figured he must be right as the masks were working the lrcat in downloads.  Now it's stopped again.  Tried updating software, returning to older version of Lr, clearning preferences files, caches etc etc and nothing is working.  Any help would be much appreciated as I can't work properly without using masks and feeling a little helpless.  Thanks

This bug has been around for several iterations of MacOS Lightroom Classic and I've never reported it because I've always thought "surely, the developers have noticed this minor issue and will fix it in the next release." Nope.   So give it a try. Pull up a photo in the Library. Then switch to the Develop module. Before you do anything, click the profile dropdown and select a different profile. It won't change it. Now do it again. This time it will change. (see attached screen recording)   Another work around is to change any other Develop setting after you switch to the Develop module before you try to change the Profile. Then it will change.   Bottom line: You can't make a profile change the first thing you do after switching to the Develop module.   Can any of you replicate this? It drives me nuts because it's at the top and one of the first things I try to change in Develop.

Hi everyone, I'm using Lightroom Classic 2024 and trying to create a panorama with images that have been rotated slightly using the crop tool because the images I want merged were all tilted at different angles apparently. However, when I do a panorama merge, the images are sticked together as if the angle correction did not take place. I attached a sample of what my panorama looks like right now. It is approximately a 150 degree panorama and obviously, the lake horizon line is not supposed to be warped upwards where the mountains are. I know lightroom does non-destructive edits on photos, but since all my images are RAWs, is there any way to force it to take stuff like rotation changes into account when stiching panoramas? Thanks! 

The past couple of weeks, Lighroom Classic has been so slow to upload pics, change to a different picture, and do everything with editing. I'm on a 2021 Mac with M1 chip. At first, I thought my storage was running out but my storage is just fine. I need HELP PLZ!!! I have 2 photo shoots to edit and 1 coming up this weekend. I literally can't edit efficiently, it's WAY TOO SLOW. 

Hi, Ever since I updated to 15.0 yesterday on my windows 11, I cannot see what/how much blur I am putting on my photos in Lightroom. I'm having to export before I can tell then blindly adjust. Is there anything that can be done about this? It's driving me nuts and waisting a ton of precious time...

I am looking to increase my subscription from and android account purchased via Play store to a desktop account, and have a few worries about this.I want to be able to still have the seven day free trial, but dont want to lose my mobile account should I decide not to take the desktop version.I only have 6.1 gb of data in the cloud and wondered if I would lose this should I cancel the android account. I have tried asking these questions using the online chat and have had three different answers, which doesnt fill me with any certainty at all and is making me question wheter to move to a different programme.

Hi all, with the last version of LRC, the mask AI creation became slower related to previous version.I use a gaming laptop with 32GB RA;m Intel 7 10gen, dedicated GPU nVidia RTX2060 with 6GB Ram, SSD 1TB with 2 partition (LRC is installed into second partion with catalog and relative cache)When i created a landscape mask, depending by photo, LRC take almost 20sec to create the 3-5 masks. the GPU memory is load around 4-5 GB. The library works fine; my catalog is around 3000 picturesThe regulating sliders work fine but the mask creation is very problematic.I already tryed to re-install LRC and check different youtube tutorialDo you think that my laptop is underated?Do you have any suggestion?Thank youBest regardsGiorgio Facco

I am having an issue in Lightroom Classic CC.  When I go in to the develop tab, it says "loading" at the bottom of the image, but never loads.  It is just stuck like that and I can get no work done. Any help would be appreciated!!!!

lightroom classic appears to load but nothing appears on the desktop.  I checked the Task Manager which reported it running.  Lightroom and Photoshop run without a problem.

在lightroom中，於描述檔項目套用Leica Q3的"嵌入"，得到很奇怪的顏色。 但Leica Q3 43mm則沒這個問題。

Hi, I recently upgraded my MacOS to Sonoma (23A344). My Lightroom Classic version is up to date, version 12.5.Up until this point, my workflow for culling or deleting photos was to go through and reject the ones that I didn't want to keep. Next, I would select all rejected photos and "delete from disk," at which point the photos would appear in the trash. I could then recover any inadvertently deleted photos or empty the trash. However, I noticed today that when I am selecting the "delete from disk" option, the files disappear from lightroom and the folder (as expected) but they are NOT appearing in the trash. I tried restarting the computer and deleting other items, none of which have any issue, but those deleted files are not showing up in the trash. I am working directly from my computer and there is no shortage of free space. When I drag and drop files from the folders to the trash, they appear in the trash. The issue only occurs when deleting via Lightroom.&nbs

Lens Profiles Now Available for V-AF, Prime, and Zoom Series

Lens blur works once or twice, then stops working. If I clear cache and reboot, it works for a while, then have to do the same over again. Win11, LrC v15.0.1, Nvidia graphics.

This is a chronic but itermittant issue for me. No matter how often I reboot the computer (Mac Sequoia 15.2) or cycle through "J", or reset the LR preferences the Flag icon is repeatedly disappearing. After cycling through all the recommended fixes,  the flag icon may start to show for a few days, but then it reverts to no icon. I know the images are flagged, because when I ask it to select flagged images, they are properly selected. But in Grid, Filmstrip, Loupe... it doesn't matter. The flag icon is constantly disappearing.Been happening for a couple months (It's now Jan 15, 2025)

I tried optimizing and checking for integrity serveral times. I can't get my catalog to upgrade. There's only this message: Lightroom encountered problems when trying to update the format of the catalog fileand cannot use this catalog in this version of Lightroom. It sends me to a tech note that has nothing to do with my problem as far as I can tell. My OSX is up to date an on v26

In the last few months, Lightroom Classic has been adding keywords to my photos on import.Here is an example... Birds, Blur judgement:Appropriate, Exposure judgement:Appropriate, Water I have searched everywhere looking for an option to automatically add keywords based on the content of the image, but I cannot find anything. Please, someone, help me make it stop.

Sync is broken since the update to version 15.0...My computer is online more them 12 hours and nothing sync. And yes... it is online with a working internet connection.Everything was working fine and after the update the catalog start sync LOTS of images and its stuck ( look like all updates are metadata uploaded ).The LR CLOUD BASED is working fine and can access the catalog without any sync.No missing files, no issues with the catalog, it was optimized after the update, tested the integrity... no errors. Restarted the LR sometimes and the sync keep stucked.

Hi all!I have two copies of the identical photo.  The only difference is that one copy has had some photoshop changes and is a .TIF file, and the other is a raw file with a few lightroom adjustments.  No changes to the crop, rotation, angle, etc. have been done that might skew a localized adjustment mask.  I am using Lightroom 5.0 on a PC.I have an adjustment brush mask on my raw file that I would like to copy over to the .tif file.  I've tried both the copy settings/paste way of doing it, as well as the synchronize way of doing it (both times ensuring that all 'Local Adjustments' options and 'Process Version' were selected and nothing else).  Both approaches have the same result, and in both cases the result is way off.  (I've attached a photo to show what I mean).  What am I doing wrong?  It's not even close enough to warrant slight adjustments on my part.  I even exited Lightroom and re-booted it.As you can see, not only is the mask way o

I've got a new problem with images not rendering in the develop pane in Lightroom 14.5.1. The images look like they are out of focus effectively, every single one. I can elave the sceen for long periods of time (half an hour) and the image doesn't render at all, it still looks just out of focus. The only way to get each image to render is to zoom in to 100% then back out again, which is a real pain. Move to the next image and then back to the previous one and it is blurry again. I've rendered smart previews, standard previews, 1:1 previews, nothing makes any difference.  Using an M3 mac with 1gb free space on the drive and 32gb memory. I've also tried optimising the catalog, and trying a new test catalog, all the same.  Before anyone asks, yes, the images are definitiely in focus. Any ideas?
