Hello everyone,I’m experiencing a persistent problem with Lightroom Classic (now on the latest version 14.4) running on Windows 11, where the Import window fails to load any photos from any volume or folder.Here is the background and what I have done so far:The issue started after I clicked "Merge" while trying to move a folder within my catalog to another folder on the same volume but with a different name. I only suspect this is related because, as far as I remember, everything was working fine before that.Since then, Lightroom's Import dialog does not display any photos from any source, whether it’s a local folder or a memory card.When I open the Import window, the spinning circle in the lower left corner (which usually indicates that photos are being loaded) appears for about a second, then disappears, and no photos show up.I copied all photos from the card to a new folder on a different location on my hard drive and tried importing from there, but the problem persists.I have verif

Lightroom Classic just stays on the artwork that is displayed while loading.Seems to get stuck on reading preferences.Lightroom  doesn't open up either but has an error message that says:AgImageIOInit.init: failed to initialize Camera Raw: initializing Camera Raw: dng_error_unknown All other Adobe apps are working so I have no idea what's going on with these.

Have an edited image in Lightroom that I want to continue editing with Photoshop. Right click opens PS but the image doesn't move into PS. Instead the Photoshop window opens with my most recent images showing but no way to move the lightroom image to PS. Windows 11, PS 24.7.0 and LR 12.5   [Merged several similar messages into this one thread in order not to have the same question (and suggestion to solve it) in several threads. Mod]

In my Lightroom Classic, the masks I make from one image to another are not copied and pasted. It says that the AI ​​changes were not updated.

  Hello. I renamed three folders in the Finder (Apple) outside of LR and rearranged their order. Stupid, because LR didn't recognize the folders and I couldn't link them. The Originals folder in LR now contained edited photos. This morning, after much online research, I synchronized the folders. Great, all the folders have been transferred, with the correct contents, but at the top of the menu in the Catalog, the original files are now listed, as well as the edited ones. Normally, the original photos are always there, and when I click on them and go to Develop, I see the photo along with what has been changed and developed. If I delete the edited version from LR, it also disappears from the Edited Photos folder. How can I remove the edited photos from the catalog without them also disappearing from the Edited Photos folder? Thanks for reading my question.

Editing sliders in LRC started slowing down and finally stopped working all together. Camera raw filter in PS works fine.

I have been using Lightroom professionally for 10 years, and yesterday started having an issue that I have never had before, and it has seemingly completely prevented me from opening photos in Photoshop through Lightroom. (1) When I tried to open a Lightroom image in an externam editor (Photoshop 2025), I would first have to wait about an hour or more for the XMP to be written for all 200,000+ photos in my catalog. Then the image would open. If I tried to open another photo after that, the entire XMP writing process would start all over again. (See attached screenshot) (2) I went into Lightroom Catalog Settings and unchecked the "Automatically write changes into XMP". Then when I tried to open a photo in the external editor, I get a generic "Saving Metadata" message that just hangs and never completes. The image never opens in Photoshop. If I cancel the Saving Metadata process, the image also does not open in Photoshop. (3) Remedial action taken: -- I have deleted a

Applying Upright > Level in batch using Sync, Auto Sync, or a preset often produces results that are noticeably different than applying it or Crop > Auto individually in Develop. There appears to be no way to auto straighten a batch of photos consistently. Download the following catalog: https://www.dropbox.com/s/y5w7bv4ndn0fdl1/batch-level.2023.03.28.zip?dl=0   It has 9 masters, each with 5 virtual copies:   Master: Crop > Auto straighten Copy 1: Upright > Level applied individually Copy 2: Upright > Level Synced with just Upright Mode selected Copy 3: A preset with Upright > Level, Upright Mode only selected, applied individually Copy 4: The same preset, applied in batch using Library > Quick Develop  Copy 5: Upright > Level auto synced from another photo.   The preset is stored in the catalog folder as "Upright Level.xmp".   Here are the results of comparing copies 1 - 5 with the master (Crop > Auto). An "x" means that method produ

Let's say I want to make an 800-pixel jpeg from a DNG file. I have created an export User Preset that sends this file to a subfolder titled 800. However, the export process creates two files: one that sits in the original folder, and one that properly goes to the 800 folder. Is there a way to prevent this duplication? I don't remember this being the case, a few months ago. (I was away from Lightoom CC for a while). I'd rather not have JPEGS (for instance) in my folder of DNG files. Mac Mini M4 Sequoia 15.5. Thanks for any help.

I have copied my photos directly from my Nikon D5 to a file on my computer.  Try to import photos and LC doesn't see any files.  I have been doing this for years and LRC has never acted like this.

I have tried uninstalling both Lightroom Classic and photoshop 26.8.1 and reinstalling both again (PS first). The bug continues. Any ideas????

Bug Description: When using the Crop Overlay tool in Lightroom Classic, there's a visual glitch: after cropping one image and navigating to the next, activating the crop tool again shows the previous image, not the currently selected one. The bug persists even after reinstalling, resetting preferences, and testing clean catalogs. Steps to Reproduce: Open any image in the Develop module. Use the Crop Overlay tool and apply a crop. Move to the next image in the filmstrip. Click the Crop Overlay tool again. Lightroom displays the previous image in the crop overlay, not the current one. Expected Result: The crop tool should load the currently selected photo so it can be cropped normally. Actual Result: The crop overlay still shows the previous image, making cropping impossible on the new one unless you reset the view or restart Lightroom. 💻 System Information: Lightroom Classic Version: Latest (installed via Adobe Creative Cloud) Operating System: Windows 10/11

Until now I have used denoise function to enhance photos. Now it´s suddenly not working. When I click on denoise it looks like it´s enhancing the photo but afte a few seconds it stops and nothing happen. What happened? Photos are in RAW format. I use Windows. Maybe I have clicked on something and changed settings.

Erro ao usar ferramenta de desfoque com IA no Lightroom Classic – alguém mais passando por isso? Oi, pessoal! Estou enfrentando um problema recorrente no Lightroom Classic e não consigo resolver de forma alguma. Sempre que tento usar a ferramenta de desfoque com IA, recebo a seguinte mensagem:“Ocorreu um erro inesperado e sua solicitação não pode ser concluída.” Isso acontece TODAS as vezes que tento usar a função. Já tentei de tudo:• Desinstalei e reinstalei o Lightroom;• Testei versões anteriores do aplicativo;• Verifiquei que os drivers gráficos estão atualizados;• Já entrei em contato com o suporte via chat duas vezes;• Fizeram acesso remoto, tentaram várias coisas e depois disseram que iam me encaminhar para uma equipe especializada… mas nunca o fizeram;• O atendimento foi encerrado sem solução, e o problema persiste. Alguém está passando por isso ou passou e conseguiu resolver?Agradeço muito se puderem compartilhar qualquer dica ou solução 

I am using LRC 14.4 in my Creative Cloud plan. The lens is a Sigma 70-200m f2.8 with a Sigma TC1411, mounted on a Canon 7D.  The lens/TC combo is listed in Sigma product list. Is there a simple adjustment, either on the Camera or in LRC that will help to correctly ID the lens? When I look at the image properties, I only see the Lens Model as 98-280, which is correct considering the Sigma TC1411 When I use my 70D with a Canon lens, LRC has no problem getting it correct.

Bonjour à vous, est ce un bogue ou autre ? Merci d'avance pour votre retour. Cordialement Jacques   [Posts merged by moderator. Please do not double post!]

Good morning! I'm trying to auto straighten a bunch of photos, something I haven't had issues with in the past. I select my images, select 'auto sync', go to the crop tool and hit Auto to straighten. All of my images look like they've had an adjustment made (or LR thinks they have) but if I go back into the image and hit the auto straighten, more adjustments are made. This is frustrating as this used to work, so I don't think it's my technique. Any ideas on how I can make this functional again? Anyone else having this issue? TIA.

Is anyone else having issues with Lightroom edits disappearing and not even reappearing when you "re-render" masks and removal tools?  I have spent not a small amount of time editing and then when I switch even between pictures, my edits disappear and require me to re-render the AI tools I've used only to have them not re-render (such as vegetation and sky masks, and spot/people removal).  I have been trying to trouble shoot on my own and to date have tried the following:Checked to be sure I have the latest Lightroom Classic versionChecked the integrity of my catalogue (all good)Checked to be sure I was editing the Original vs. Smart Preview Checked GPU settingsCHecked Memory PressureDid some Cache Management - purging the cacheDid a resest of Lightroom PreferencesCHecked to be sure my Mac was up to date on all of its system settings.Nothing has worked and its extremly frustrating.  I don't have time to constantly edit and re-edit my pictures.  Is anyone else h

Hi All,Please can you send me advice on what desktop PC will operate with Literoom Classic. My NUC computer has started to grind to a halt and it took 3 days to download 2000 pictures from my Canon R5.A suggested build would be great

Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my Lightroom Classic (version 14.4) catalog and was hoping someone might be able to help or has experienced something similar. My catalog contains photos from several cameras. In the past, I processed some RAW files from my Olympus OM-D EM-5 using the Develop module. However, when I revisited those images yesterday in the Library module, they appeared completely flat—like unedited RAW files. All previous Develop settings, including the selected profile, seem to be missing. For context, the RAW files are stored on a network drive (NAS). I’m wondering if this might be part of the problem. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Is there a way to recover or restore the lost Develop settings? Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!
