LRC v13.2m /Camera Raw v 16.2 (Windows). I use a Canon EOS Rebel SL1. I am unable to import .cr2 files into LRC. The software doesn't recognize my latest .cr2 files. Older .cr2 files (which I was able to import in prior versions of LRC) are listed with a "Preview Unavailable for This File" message, and when I try to import them, I get a the error message "The file appears to be unsupported or damaged".  I am able to open the same (old and new) .cr2 files in Photoshop's camera raw. All my raw files are on my hardrive. I've uninstalled and reinstalled LRC. No change. Anyone have suggestions on how to resolved this? Thanks.

Hi everyone, I have a M3 Pro Macbook Pro, 18GB RAM I'm a professional photographer using LrC as my main editing software and at some point, after updating from version 13.3, it became very slow: Ai noise reduction was painfully slow and export times took very long. I rolled back to version 13.3 and it went back to normal, with the laptop processing Ai NR at about 5 seconds/photo, for reference. Well today, after being away from the laptop for a week, the same thing happened. LrC is painfully slow, for reference Ai NR is taking 30secs for a single photo and export times are very long. I'm very stressed as my LrC is an important tool in my workflow. What I've done to try to fix the issue (without success):- Restarted the machine;- Updated LrC to the latest available version (14.3.1);- Moved catalog from external hard drive to the laptop's ssd.- Deleted previews and optimized catalog;- Turned graphics processing off and changed Camera Raw cache from 5 to 10GB;- The laptop f

Good morning everyone. I had this problem with Lightroom Classic for many years, and never found a solution.Especially while uploading pictures to Pic-Time, but also when exporting, LRC freezes my pc, even with half of RAM still unused. I have an i9 12900K with 64 gb DDR5 RAM.When I send my pictures to Pic-Time using Publish Services, I can't do anything with my pc, and checking with ctrl+alt+del the memory usage, is at 49% with LRC using only 27 gb of RAM. Anybody have faced and solved problems like this? Thanks in advance.

Somehow I lost many old photos from a migration process  from my iMac to my Mac Studio and/or a Lightroom photos update process about a year ago, and I'm just now getting around to trying to resolve this major issue.  Can anyone tell me a step-by-step method to rejoin my missing photos I have from old Master Catalogs that I restored from a 2022 backup?  Can Lightroom Classic (latest version) intelligently match the missing photos in my current catalog and without duplication?  And finally, what choices should I make before I attempt to import the missing photos from my older catalog to my current catalog? Thank you very much!

Hey,Found some contradicting information about the folder, so I wanted the expert's advice 🙂1) Although the Adobe FAQ recommends backing up the folder, and I got an error message stating that  the data is invalid without the folder, I've seen in this post that LRC should be able to recover this information if the folder wasn't backed up with the catalog.What is true?2) What exactly are the "AI-based edits" the attached error message refers to?Any additional information about this folder will be appreciated. Thank you!

No one asked for sound effects in Lightroom. They are jarring and distracting, no benifit for them while I am editing. Has anyone been able to turn them off without going into my computer settings?That "swoosh" sound when deleting a heal or remove mark/point is infuriating!Please, devopers, we love metaphorical "bells and whistles" but we DO NOT want LITERAL bells and whistels going off while we are focued on editing. 

Ok, I've had three attempts at trying Adobe support to find an answer; first time resulted in an email that didn't fix the problem, second two times the chat "ended" unexpectedly without any resolution. Rather than explain, from scratch, a fourth time, I'll put it here:   Lightroom Classic v14.3.1 macOS Sequoia v15.5   I have a separate catalog to sync images that I take on my iPhone, with Lr mobile (v10.3.1), to Lightroom Classic on my laptop.  That catalog had/has an external HDD set for the location of "Lightroom's Synced images" The checkbox for "Use subfolders formatted by capture date" is checked The external HDD did, indeed, have all of the mobile images in subfolders. I wanted to move that collection of images to my internal SSD I changed the location, in the preferences. Lr asked if I wanted it to move them, which I did. Lr ran for a while, moved a bunch, and then failed a bunch. Upon closer inspection the destination folder did NOT contain any subfolders (whic

LRc 14 reading every single files images in my catalog disk usage 100%.   Ever since migrating from 12.x to 14.x (14.0.1 and 14.1), it seems that Lightroom Classic just want to scan my entire images from my catalog.   Looking at the Ressources Monitor (Windows 10 latest), it's scanning (reading) all files from the early years to now, and reading the catalog lrcat file. It's comparing?   So I have 250000 pictures, it's scanning everyting from the past years, disk usage (hard drive) is 100%.   Right now, after 22 minutes of reading, it stopped reading the storage, and it's writting to the catalog lrcat file (with one or two threads).   While it's scanning, I can still continue to work, but it's clower and some stuff is not working, like when an image is  "set as rejected" , it's not greyed out. After the scan, the flagged picture are now greyed out.   This is the 3rd time it happened.   Also, If I close LRc, the app is not on the desktop anymore, b

Hi,I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on why Lightroom Classic (14.3.1) doesnt seem to use the performance cores of my m4max macbook pro AT ALL during export? it's slowly chugging along on the 4 efficiency cores, while the real workhorses sit idle. The Gpu is not maxed out either, nor is the Ram.  I found many sources stating this behavior on the m4 macbook air, but couldn't really find sources about the macbook pro and find this really odd. Anybody else noticed this?

I'm getting quite frustrated with the seeming inability of Lightroom Classic to import video files from any source. Fails with Nikon, iphone and Olympus video files, all of which play fine elsewhere (e.g. Quicktime). The same problem on an imac with a massive lightroom library, and a macbook pro with a clean install and tiny library. Have cleared the video cache and turned off graphics card acceleration. Doesn't matter if I import directly from the camera, a card, or copy it into an empty folder on the laptop and import from that. Nothing seems to work.Always get the helpful "there is a problem with the video file" error.Has anyone been able to resolve this?Many thanks,Dan

I have just bought a Canon RF 10-20 f4 L Stm lens which I use on EOS R6 mk2. I have noticed that when I import the RAW images to lightroom, bad black vignette is added ot the image when lens corrections are disabled. I am not applying any processing presets for the import so everything is set to default. Default seems to apply lens correction these days, however when I turn off said lens correction this vignette is added. Looking at the RAW CR3 image, no such vignette is present.Attached is screengrab of the RAW file and JPG export from Lightroom in default settings (minus lens correction).I am running : Adobe Lightroom Classic14.3.1 Release Camera Raw 17.3.1Build [202505061331-b063faef]

Mi sono accorto oggi che su LRC non funziona più il modulo Riduzione disturbo automatico. Viene indicato che "La funzione di riduzione del disturbo non è attualmente compatibile con questo (?)" LRC Release 14.3.1 Camera Raw 17.3.1 su iMac con macOS Sequoia 15.5Uso sempre files RAW (Nikon NEF) Prima funzionava... Perché ora non più ?

I can´t find any modules or menus up in the right corner of Lightroom Classic... As I understand there should be a bar with modules or menues with library, develop, map, book, slideshow, print, web... But I can´t see anyone of these. I would really like to find out how to see these modules. Does anyone know how to do to find them? Thanks in advance.

Need your expertise on Lightroom…I’ve been dealing with an annoying issue in my workflow for the past few weeks and wanted to ask if any of you have experienced this too—or even better, found a solution for it. I edit my photos as usual with Imagen AI, and then I fine-tune them in Lightroom—mostly using the Healing tool (for blemishes, etc.). So far, so good.But as soon as I switch to the next image and then go back to the previous one, all the retouching is gone. It looks like it’s reverted to the state right after the Imagen edit—without my manual adjustments. What’s weird is that a red dot appears on the Healing tool with a note saying, “Some settings need to be updated.” I can click to update, but the whole thing is really frustrating because it means I have to redo everything. And it happens again every time I switch images. Has anyone else had this problem or maybe even found a fix for it?The current situation is seriously slowing down my workflow and making editin

I'm using Lightroom 14.3.1 on a 2017 iMac Pro. I have about 10k picture files stored on a 4TB external drive, taking up about 210GB on the drive.  I have a number of folders in lightroom, typically organized by the place pictures were taken. The number of files in a folder range from just a few (under 5) to many (over 1,500).  When I select a folder to open in the Library that contains few or many pics, it takes some time for the thumbnails to open.  This has not always been the case. Anyone have suggestions about how to make them load faster?  Thanks.

Today updated my LR from 13.x to 14.0, looking forward for the improvements, especially Denoise supports more RAW file formats. (incl HDR and panorama DNG files)Just tried it on my windows machine (Windows 11, version 23H2)I did: HDR Merge of 5 Sony .ARW files into a new HDR-enhanced.dng file : looks good / as expected Denoise AI of this file results in many (awful) : see partial screenshot (100%)Am I doing something wrong? Can give details if needed (computer info, Driver details etc.)Thanks!   

I came out here this was my first time I'm open to any advice and any tips just message me 

Hello,I am having a problem with using Topaz Photo AI (versions 4.0 and 4.01) with LRc (version 14.3.1) on my Dell laptop (Windows 11, version 24H2).  I suspect that the problem lies with Topaz, but it is certainly related to a change in how LR handled converions from native RAW files to DNG files, so I'm looking for any info that I might be able to pass on to them.  Or, perhaps there is more going on here than meets the eye, and Adobe shares some responsibiltiy. I convert my RAW files to dng while importing them.  I have been doing this since I started using LR v 2 in 2006.   Sometime between September 16, 2017 and October 28, 2017 LR started saving my imported files with a DNG (uppercase) extension, rather than the dng (lowercase) extension used previously.  Since the  choice of lowercase or uppercase extensions is in LR preferences, I must have changed this, athough I can't recall doing so.  It certainly shouldn't make a difference.&

As indicated in the title, I am unable to import some nikon custom profiles (with .ncp extension) into Lightroom.Apparently the program doesn't recognize the format, which should be, I think, .xmp or .dcp.Is there a way to convert the ncp file? Or can anyone give me some suggestions?

there is no way to tether shoot with the canon 5d and LRC. I think you might have to update the compatibility page. CANON 5D wont work with LRC

When I do into Develop and take an action the screen goes black, how to do I fix this?

I cannot target a collection. The options when right clicking a collection do not include making it a target. I've done all the Adobe suggested fixes and nothing works. Suggestions?OS is Windows 10, Lenovo laptop.

Hi,I am experiencing an issue with Lightroom Classic. I created a color profile using my ColorChecker and successfully imported it. The profile is also visible in the following directory:/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles.However, when attempting to import the profile via the "Import Profile" function—by right-clicking and selecting the option—the same issue occurs: the profile does not appear in Profile Management.The problem persists even when importing the profile through Lightroom by right-clicking and selecting Export > ColorChecker Camera Calibration.After restarting Lightroom Classic, in both cases, the newly created profile is still not visible in Profile Management.

The adaptive color profile (preset) is not appearing in Lightroom Classic.  I know it was in beta testing but all of the on-line tutorials I have watched state it is there now and ready to use.  I have checked to make sure  I have downloaded all the updates.  Other than deleting the program and reloading it anyone have any suggestions.
