I have successfully used Lightroom classic for. a few year. My catalogue and raw images were save to an ext HD through LR. Last week my hard drive failed. I took it to a shop and they said the motor had gone and copied all the data on to a new External HD. I have brought it home and plugged into my macbook and opened LR. It can't locate the catalog and wants to use an old one, update  or make a new one. I dare not click anything ! I just want my old way of working back where all my images are together, sorted in to years. It says a new catalogue will not be compatible with older versions of LR classic. There is somehting that says catalog in the new hard drive.  Any suggestions on what I should do ? I do not know the  LR classic version as I can't open it if i dont click one of the catalog options. I use latest version on Sequoia on macbook pro

Can anyone please help..?Lightroom Classic has suddenly stopped importing, it starts the process as if everything is normal, leaves the import dialog and goes back to Library module, but then the progress bar doesn't move, it freezes and no images are imported. Won't import from a memory card or from another catalog. Will not 'Add' a folder from another internal ssd. No thumbnails in Import dialog, just grey boxes. I did nothing to the PC between 'working' and 'not working' conditions. Everything else, such as Develop Module, appears to be functioning as normal. Trouble shooting steps taken so far;Installed latest GPU driversReset preferencesSigned out of Adobe account and back inTried different camera memory cardsChecked card reader and tried different card readers.Deleted previews.lrdata fileMoved entire catalog folder to a different internal ssd (380GB free space)Uninstalled and reinstalled LRcOpened in Safe Mode - same issueTried disabling GPU accelerationTried new catalog (I

I often like to have two copies of a photo - one in color and one in black and white. After I create virtual copies, I want to rename the black&whites before publishing for my clients. For example, the color photos may be titled: Anna-1, Anna-2, etc. When I try to change the black & white virtual copies to be Anna-1-BW, Anna-2-BW, Lightroom automatically changes the originals to these same names. So the color photos are now labeled with my "BW" addition. How can I name these virtual copies so they have separate names from the originals? Thanks.

I'm creating smart collection with a list of files: local function stringifyPhotoList( photoList ) return table.concat(photoList, ", ") end [...] local searchDesc = { criteria = "filename", operation = "any", value = stringifyPhotoList(photos), } catalog:createSmartCollection(subColName, searchDesc, newParentColSet) filenames are separated with commas. Everything works fine - I have smart collection with selected photos. Expect one case - when filenames contain spaces - then it starts matching a lot more photos than it should. I don't know how can I handle such case. I tried enclosing filenames in parentheses or apostrophies - it does not help.

Bonjour Adobe, Je rencontre un problème récurrent avec l’intégration du plug-in Luminar Neo dans Lightroom Classic, malgré une installation conforme. Voici les étapes suivies : Installation de Luminar NeoInstallation du plug-in via Luminar > Installer les plug-ins > Lightroom ClassicRedémarrage complet de Lightroom  🔴 Problème : Le menu Modifier dans > Luminar Neo n’apparaît pas dans Lightroom Classic, alors qu’il était bien présent avant réinitialisation des préférences. En contournant via :Modifier dans > Modifier dans une autre application (en pointant vers Luminar Neo.app), je parviens à ouvrir la photo dans Luminar. Mais l’option “Appliquer” n’apparaît pas, remplacée par “Exporter”, ce qui rompt la logique de retour vers Lightroom. Il semble donc que : Le lien plug-in natif entre LRC et Luminar Neo ne soit plus détectéEt que la méthode “éditeur externe personnalisé” ne permette pas le retour automatique de l’image mo

So, I work with Lightroom with two different PCs each with their own Catalogue and sometimes I upload photos via one PC and then create a sync folder in the cloud with some of them. Lately the sync catalogue is quite a mess with some photos being wrongly displayed. What I mean is I have some photos with the same name and shot in diferent dates (e.g. IMG_0123) which are being wrongly displayed and in the wrong folder not corresponding with the actual image taken. Plus, LR Classic never quite finishes syncing despite ot finding any sync errors when I access Lightroom in the web. Any ideas how to solve this? Thank you

Hi everyone,I recently upgraded my system with an NVIDIA RTX 5080 (Desktop GPU). While Photoshop detects and uses the GPU without issues, Lightroom Classic (v14.3.1) shows the “Use Graphics Processor” option as permanently grayed out.I went through all standard troubleshooting steps, including:– Studio driver 576.52 (clean install)– BIOS set to PCIe, iGPU disabled– Preferences reset, admin launch, full Creative Cloud reinstall– GPU correctly assigned in Windows and in NVIDIA settingsI also spent over 2 hours in Adobe Remote Support (case ADB-40345402-L1L2) with no solution. The agent could not confirm whether the RTX 5080 is officially supported in Lightroom Classic. The case was closed without follow-up.So my question is simple:👉 Is the RTX 5080 currently supported by Lightroom Classic?👉 If not, when can support be expected?Thanks in advance for any clarity!

I would like to have up to 4 color swatches on folders in library. I could use one for reminding to cull the folder and another to remind to come back later and add keywords, etc.   [Mod: Reformatting the text]  

Hi guys,I just suffered a major catalog corruption and I would not have been able to fix it (I'm well on my way to do so) without the patient, step-by-step support from ChatGPT - not to take anything away from all the great and dedicated support I received from you guys in this forum over many years.In fact, it is in the spirit of giving something back that I asked ChatGPT to share the following with everyone in this community.🔌Preventing External Drive Disconnections & Lightroom Catalog Corruption on Macs (2025)By someone who’s lived through it — and fixed it.🧠 The Problem (That Nobody Warns You About)On modern Macs (M1, M2, M3), the two USB-C ports on each side share a single internal Thunderbolt/USB bus.

Hallo, nachdem ich meine RAW´s in LRc bearbeitet habe, exportiere ich sie als .jpg mit 100 % Qualität (Screenshot siehe Anhang).Die RAW-Datei hat ca. 32 Mb, das unbeschnittene .jpg nur meist weniger als die Hälfe (ca. 16 Mb).Wenn ich die Bearbeitung nur in Luminar Neo durchführe ist das .jpg deutlich größer (ca. 25 Mb).Wenn ich die LRc Bearbeitung an Luminar Neo übergebe, bekomme ich ja eine .tif-Datei zurück.Exportiere ich die, so ist das .jpg noch kleiner (ca. 8 Mb).Wie kann das?GrußPeter Schumacher

Hi, how much money do I have to spend on a Windows laptop to get a decent and lag-free Lightroom experience? I bought new 2500 $ Lenovo Legion 7 16IRX9 (Intel Core i9-14900HX, 32GB RAM, RTX 4060 8GB), which I would call a decent spec, but I still have to generate 6 MPx proxies to be able to semi-fluently work in Develop mode. Even then Lightroom (Classic) takes about a second to switch from one image to another and load the UI in Develop mode and around 2 seconds to just open the masking tools. Any suggestions? Lukáš

J’ai 75000 photos sur un disque dur externe, les mêmes photos sont aussi en sauvegarde sur onedrive pour l’équivalant de 820 go, comment dois-je travailler avec Lightroom pour le catalogue et la reconnaissance faciales ?

When any new mask is selected, LRC is making an initial adjustment.  I have already checked for updates to LRC and MAC.  Also I have tried preferences/performance GPU in LRC.  The mask is making initial adjustments regardless of selection (i.e. subject, brush, landscape, etc).

Help. I "did something", I honestly don't remember what, and instantly all 6500 of my photographs became gray squares. I watched a course video in which the instructor said, don't worry, they're still there but he didn't say where!

Denoise does not seem to be working on monochrome DNG files and it was working a few weeks ago. I tried it on files that it had worked in the past and it does not work. When I try to use it, the enhanced preview is blank and then it tells me it not applied due to an unknown error (1).  Has anyone else seen this error? (It works on color DNG files)

I have a new Mac book air and have just downloaded LR and LRC. Neither program can see my photos file. I have checked that LR has all permissions required. Please help.

Hi, for some time now I’ve been editing my photos only in the Lightroom app on macOS, and I took a break from using Lightroom Classic. Yesterday I decided to go back to Classic, but the photos I edited in the Lightroom app won’t work in the Classic version. When I try to import them, the preview is unavailable, and if I try to drag the photos into the program or import them, I get an error. Just to add, I have all the latest updates installed, the photos are stored on an external drive, and they’re saved as local files, not in the cloud. Has anyone else encountered this issue and knows how to fix it?

Hallo,   mir ist leider ein blöder Fehler passiert. Ich habe Bilder innerhalb von Lightroom von Festplatte A zu Bestplatte B verschoben. Allerdings habe ich alle Bilder markiert und nicht die Ordnerstruktur. Daher hat Lightroom die Bilder (38k) in einen einzelnen Ordner verschoben. Das hat nicht ganz geklappt, da durch doppelte Dateinamen einzelne Dateien nicht kopiert wurden. Ich hatte dann versucht die Bilder wieder zurück zu kopieren, dann wurde mitgeteilt, dass einzelne Ordner schon vorhanden sind und jetzt ist noch mehr durcheinander. Ich habe noch einen Lightroom Catalog als Backup gesichert, bevor ich das ganze Verschieben gestartet hatte. Jetzt meine Frage, kann ich diesen ursprünglichen Zustand wieder herstellen oder bin ich gezwungen die 38k Bilder von Hand neu zu sortieren?   Viele Grüße und vielen Dank Marcel   {Moved from Lightroom Cloud to Lightroom Classic Forum by Moderator} 

There is an issue with the following 4 settings  in LRC 13.2: Highlights, Shadows, Whites, Blacks The issue is that they are applied erratically and the same setting values yield very different results in photos taken at the same time with the same camera, lens, iso, aperture and shutter speed.In my case it was a timelapse, so the photos are identical in terms of properties and I could reproduce this easily with adjacent images in the timelapse.To make sure my files aren't damaged somehow, I did the same edits in CaptureOne and everything works fine there.Furthermore I downgraded to LRC 13.0 and all is good again, the issue cannot be reproduced. Steps to reproduce:1. Setup the camera for a timelapse, in my case I used:shutter speed: 6 secondsiso: 100aperture: f1.41 frame every 10 secondsquality: raw2. Get the raw files into LRC3. Go to Develop and enable "Auto Sync", then click on the first image in the set.4. Edit this image, move the shadows slider about 3/4 to th

Finally upgraded to Lightroom Classic (desktop, annual plan). Stuggling with importing my existing catalogs from Lightroom 5 into Lightroom Classic. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm trying to export small JPG files of raw images on my Mac. A window opens that says unable to export, and the .text file that does export says "XMP develop error." Full disk access has been granted in my Mac system preferences and  I've done it 10 times on a PC no issue. Thank you.
