hi. I need my buttons back that allow me to upload and edit my photos as raw files...... the options you leave me with and I'd like my freedom to edit my own photos back please fix imediately i have deadlines and this current option of upload makes my photos and videows turn into random blue and white striped lines. There are going to be some very unhappy children if They learn that their images were destroyed.

Your post header says "Lightroom-Classic". You are in the Lightroom-ecosystem forum.  Which app and what exact version do you have? Copy and post the report from MENU > HELP > SYSTEM INFO...  

"I need my buttons back"- What buttons? Where?

"upload and edit my photos as raw files" - Upload to where?  Are you Importing files? Are you working with Lightroom Cloud or with Local files in your computer? Are you syncing photos from Lightroom-Classic to Lightroom?

Same questions as Bill- More specific details and screen-clips  (use the [Insert Photos] icon above the post window.)

 

 

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .

You wrote, "upload and edit my photos as raw files......"  I'm opening RAW files in Lightroom the ways I am used to.  I can't find an issue..

 

Would please be more specific about your workflow so that I can try it?  Maybe add some screen shots to show the problems?
