I don't suppose anyone here is an expert on phone photography? I'm certainly not. For a fair while, ive been using the Adobe Lightroom app for taking photos with my iPhone 7. I prefer the Lightroom app over the phone’s default camera app because you can manually set the white balance. Handy when shooting under artificial lighting indoors. Usually, photos taken with the Lightroom app end up in a library within that app. However, yesterday, the interface of this app looked a bit different than usual when I opened it up. And I was asked to sign in. Ive never had to do that before with this app. I do have an Adobe account (which I normally use on my pc) and I used that to sign in on the app. I took a bunch of photos with this app afterwards but when I got home, they were nowhere to be seen. The Lightroom library shows the previous photos that were taken (over the last several weeks and months.) But there is no sign of yesterday's photos (that were taken after I signed in.) I also looked in

A new update, more "significant improvements in performance," and Lightroom Cloud, after an hour of working on individual photos, can take up to five seconds to switch from Crop to Edit or Presets, and freezes for several seconds during the simplest operations.I'm working with Fujifilm RAW files, could that make a difference? Browsing files in Browser is very slow, slowing down the entire computer and using up to 100% of the CPU.i5 14600K, RAM 64GB, 2TB NVMe, 1TB SSD, RTX 3060 12GB.It's a scandal that this software doesn't run smoothly on such hardware. It's simply unbelievable. Are these people at Adobe even sane?Before someone ask - at this stage I've probably tried every possible setting of the program, performance, cache, etc. Today I moved the original RAW files to another SSD drive, no change, editing is a nightmare, everything is working slowly and freezing often for couple of sconds.Any plans to finally do something with PC version?

Hello, I have downloaded the latest version of lightroom mobile onto a Samsung galaxy A56 and am trying to shoot RAW. However there is no option to toggle between dng and jpg on the camera shooting lightroom module, consequently the pictures are just jpgs. Can anyone suggest a fix?

I have turned on use graphics processor, I have tried to delete the camera raw cache, my windows ARM computer still uses CPU instead of the GPU or NPU resulting in incredibly long AI denoise times, is there any fix or expected update where this might be addressed, 

Introducing Assisted Culling (Early Access) in Lightroom Desktop  For providing feedback for Lightroom Classic, click here.   We’re excited to share an early look at Assisted Culling, an AI-powered workflow that helps photographers quickly review large photo sets and select the best shots with confidence.    What is Assisted Culling? Assisted Culling is one of the most requested features from advanced photographers, consistently topping feedback at customer events. It streamlines the process of identifying top photo selects from large sets—hundreds or even thousands—based on attributes like eye openness, sharpness, and more.    Assisted Culling saves photographers countless hours of manual review, letting them focus on creativity instead of sorting.  Eyes Open – Detects whether subjects’ eyes are open.  Eye Focus – Measures the sharpness of the eyes.  Subject Focus – Evaluates overall clarity.  Clean Up – Identifies likely r

When creating a Smart Album in LrD with multiple criteria, matching "All" criteria is the only option, with no option for "Any" criteria.  When looking at the online help, this is one of the steps listed to create a Smart Album:“Choose whether to match all or any of the criteria.”

There’s a glitch in the lightroom when exporting photos where AI update is required. Long story short I have been fixing some photos with AI tools (removing people) and now when I want to export photos I get a message that AI update is required for some photos. If I select the checkbox and press ‘export’ nothing happens. I tried restarting lightroom and my Macbook but problem wasn’t resolved. if I try to export photos without AI update then export I can export photos immediately without any issues.

This thread is for Lightroom Ecosystem feedback on the Early Access Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI)For Camera Raw and Lightroom Classic feedback, click here.    The Lightroom team is dedicated to building capabilities that foster trust and transparency in the age of AI. Our latest release, as part of the Content Authenticity Initiative (https://contentauthenticity.org/), allows you to add content credentials to your work when exporting in Lightroom to ensure provenance and preserve authenticity.   New content credential capabilities are available across the Lightroom ecosystem (Lightroom, Lightroom Classic, Lightroom for mobile (iOS & Android), Lightroom for web), and Adobe Camera Raw in Early Access. When exporting a JPEG from Lightroom, you can attach your name, social media handle, and a list of edits via a digital signature.   You can find the option to apply Content Credentials while exporting a JPEG in the export panel. It is, by default, turned OFF.

When I edit a text watermarks the preview brightness is much lighter than the actual brightness in the image file.   I have to re-edit the watermark, and guess how much to reduce the brightness to achieve the desired brightness in the image file.

iPad and iPhone sync but not Mac mini iOS 26.2. what to do [it’s been working 9+ years on the Mac]

I take RAW photos using Fujifilm camera with the function of “The Digital Teleconverter”, which apply a digital crop to the RAW files. I can see the cropped image of those RAW files on the Fujifilm camera. However, after importing to the Lightroom, those files all turn back to the original without showing any cropped view. I really would appreciated if Lightroom can show the cropped view of those Fujifilm RAW files.If this feature could be added, I can directly see the exact view from pictures that I've taken from the camera, and then edit them. I don’t need to manually crop those RAW files while guessing the size of what I’ve seen from the camera view during taking those pictures. Especially, cropping in Lightroom is just using ratio only, without the ability to typing the pixels size I need.

I’m using Lightroom AI remove feature. It ran till 100% and show a service not available msg.

MacBook Pro M2 pro,Macos Tahoe 26.3Lightroom Desktop 9.1 Every week or two I will find my MacBook Pro M2 drive has suddenly completely filled because the lrcc_console.log file will grow to 90 - 100GB. I have to find the log file and delete it and then my laptop will run good for a while. This started happening in late December, I have had to delete the log file 4 times now.Below I have pasted a portion of the log. The log has several pages that look like the top section, then it starts repeating this line until the drive fills up:2026-02-05 21:19:45.023 Adobe Lightroom[47579:10537048] Failed to receive message with error: Operation canceled ---------------------------------2026-02-05 18:17:06.918 Adobe Lightroom[47579:10537048] ignore this error, dumping function signature    0: global   error                          - C    1:          [unnamed]                      - 622876013:254+23    2:          [unnamed]                      - 804041617:59+1    3: global   pcall                  

Isn’t it absurd the desktop version of Lightroom CC doesn’t allow you to change the sorting order of albums? On iOS and iPad you can click the sorting parameter a second time to reverse the order (so you can get the sensible option of showing your latest albums on top if you named them properly). On desktop, you’re screwed. This feels like the tiniest possible fix, yet it’s been like this for many years. Why??

Project Indigo Images Disappearing After Capture (iPhone 16)Hi team,I’ve been using Indigo heavily during my trip and noticed a recurring issue where some photos disappear right after shooting.Issue• About 30–40% of captures vanish.• The image appears briefly after the shutter, then disappears from the gallery.Examples• At night: shooting a sticker behind frosted glass, phone held steady, static scene. The first shot disappeared; only the duplicate remained.• Daytime: similar loss happened with plants, street scenes, and other normal subjects.Notes• Happens in both low‑light and daytime.• No special modes enabled; just normal shooting.• Feels like it may fail during background processing.Device• iPhone 16• iOS 18.7.2• Plenty of free storage

Please change Lightroom so it JUST OPENS THE FILE if you previously worked with it in Lightroom.It is not helpful that if you try to open a previously worked file all that happens is a message: Previously Added.  Fantastic! How about OPENING THE FILE?Instead the user has to go hunt for the image in the Lightroom Library.  Lightroom of course knows where it is ,,, it found it and said: Previously Added instead of JIST OPENING THE FILE.The user has to determine the date. Now navigated into the Lightroom Library where there may be hundreds of images to sift through for a particular day.It is a five minute waste of User time to hunt for the image and then open it in from the Library. When all Lightroom has to do is OPEN THE FILE that it already located in the Library.I have this waste of time and efficiency over and over and over. I regularly need to re-crop photos for other needs, or adjust color, or simply opened it in Lightroom days, weeks, ago and decided not to use it then and now nee
