Questions

I am trying to import photos into a specified folder on a Mac. Its a new Mac and I have given Lightroom Classic access to files and folders. My structure is users/<name>/pictures/<year>/<date>It used to work when I imported pictures it would add the year if it couldn't find it and then put the dates and pics in that folder. When I look at the folders listing under Library view I see that structure. When I import now it is creating the year under the Mac HD and not the Users/<name>/Pictures structure. I have set the destination on import to the correct directory but it keeps putting it in the wrong place. I had to turn on file sharing in order to see the directory structure in the import settings as well. Have no idea what is going on.

Hello everyone, have you updated Lightroom? they changed the denoise application mode and, after removing the noise, if I move the photo into Photoshop it doesn't keep the change 🥲 does it happen to you too? before the update, after applying denoise lightroom made a copy of the photo in DNG, now it doesn't anymoreI read online that you have to click on a new button at the top that tells you the AI ​​changes made and click update, but even if I do that it still doesn't keep the change in photoshop 😭

I'm getting back to some photography after a few years break. I had used Lightroom Classic in the past but am having trouble currently. When I select File / Tethered Capture, modify my settings, and then hit "OK", the application just goes to an endless spinning beachball. The application is non-responsive and I have to Force Quit. I've done some surface digging and I do have "Use Graphics Processor" turned off. Beyond that, things started to get over my head! I really appreciate any and all help (even if that means a recommendation to use another software for tethered shooting)! My setup:Canon 5DMac Pro (Late 2013)2.7 GHz 12-Core Intel Xeon E5AMD FirePro D700Sequoia 15.5* About a year ago, a tech savvy friend helped me get this older computer set up with OpenCore so that I could get my OS up past Monterey. It's been working great but maybe there is an issue here.

Yes, sometimes you have to deal with more then one problem in two days. Yesterday's problem is fixed with a help from a very kind person, this morning I have another "problem". When importing and deleting some files, a file appeared in my catalogue. It's grey and it got no content, no value. I can't remove it from the catalogue either. Of course I searched for an solution here, but no solution yet. I enabled all the plugins, I optimized the catalogue, but no change. Is there a way to get rid of this file?

Hey team.   So I've got an issue and while I can see NUMEROUS posts about this particular subject I can't seem to either get the right answer or figure it out for myself..   Basically I've gone back to Windows from Mac and stored everything on external drives.  Everything went smoothly but.....  Finding the missing photos hasn't.   I see the obvious problem on a few where my Mac has chucked a "volume" label at the start of D Drive (labelled as Red Expansion) and now my PC isn't playing nice as it IDs it as simply D Drive or Red Expansion blah blah drive. So I see that's the problem but how do I reconnect all the missing photos?  I can imagine it is something obvious but I am missing the very large and obvious point 🙂   These photos are there but the question is HOW..

LrC opens with an error message saying it cannot find or open the catalog. Click OK or "more info" and it promptly crashes. I have signed out and back in to no avail. I updated the NVIDIA RTX 4060 driver for studio use, also to no avail. I feel that if I could keep it open I could direct it to the catalog. Thanks to anyone who can help.

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

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!]
