Questions

I don't understand why, when I create masks in Lightroom for, let's say, subject and background, I cannot simply click the background mask and make a change, such as clarity, without having said effect applied to the entire photo.  I've created masks for the person and the background.  I then click the desired mask, and change the effects.  These effects apply to the entire photo, not to the mask itself.  Is there something I'm missing? 

Hi all, I have recently downloaded Lightroom to use it to edit my photos.   However, navigating around the software is extremely slow and laggy, to the point I'm getting extremely frustrated with it.   For example, loading up the image, and clicking on the menus on the left can take minutes to actually load and be able to adjust the picture.   It can't be a computer spec thing, as I have an i9 12900, 64gb ddr5 ram and a fast SSD.   Can someone please help if this is a known issue? or how to get it working properly?         {Title edited by Moderator}

Prior to today, while in Grid view, I would frequently use my keyboard to move among photos rapidly, occasionally hitting the Space key to go into the Detail view for a photo, then hitting Escape to return to the Grid view.    Unfortunately with v6.0, once in the Detail view, hitting Escape does nothing. I have to use my mouse and click on the "Square Grid" icon in the lower left corner. This slows down my workflow massively. 

How can one set the aspect ratio in order to print a 13x19 photo?

Just downloaded lightroom and cannot figure out how to activate the second display. All tutorials seem to go back to my old version 5 I know how to do there, but cannot find how here please help.

ahoj, po aktualizaci Lightroomu mi nejde kliknout na ikonu presety, když to udělám, program se sekne a vyskočí chyba, poté se vypne, aktualizace se provedla dnes, co s tím prosím?

I am going to be working in a remote area with no internet connection. I want to import photos from my memory cards, cull and edit them, and then export the keepers to an SSD. Is this possible with Lightroom for iPad?

Hi! I have the Lightroom CC version 1.4 application. Every time I go to select the "presets" option on my images, Lightroom immediately crashes. I can do everything else on it except click "presets". This only started occurring yesterday when I updated the application!!   I have read some comments saying unblock "Graphic Processor", however, this still hasn't helped!Hopefully this all makes sense.Thanks in advance!

Hi! I am trying to add a Mask to my photo but having real issues trying to apply it 🫠   I have edited my photo in Lightroom Mobile on iOS and added a mask in the Maaking area, but when I click the tick in the bottom to apply it, it leaves the masking edit area and returns to the main edit screen without making the changes. I want to save my photo to my device with the masking changes but it won't let me and I have no idea how to do it - would someone be able to help advise on the right way?   thank you!     {Thread title updated by moderator}

My Internett provider is not offering email services after Sep. 1st. Because of this I have changed my primary email and logon in Adobe. Have purchased the one year plan with monthly payments (linked to my old address). When I log on to Adobe with my new email address, no products appear. How can I transfer my products from my old logon to the new one? Regards,| Leslie in dispair 

I'm new here so appreciate the advice.  I understand LR classic is local hard drive storage and Lightroom CC is cloud based.  I see the option in LR CC for storing orignials on local hard drive?  Does this mean I can keep my 4TB photos library on a local drive and use LR CC without needing to upgrade the cloud storage past standard 1TB?  The UI with LR classic vs LR CC is night and day different and would prefer Lightroom CC.

I;ve recently been updated to v8.4.1 on android and if I take a photo in the lightroom camera app, it doesn't show it in lightroom but if I take a photo with the android camera app it does Am I missing something?? Why isn't the lightroom camera saving the photos? This worked before in the previous version?

Im currently using the Apple 8.4.1 (had this problem with 8.4.0 too) version of Lightroom on my iPhone. A friend of mine showed me the "best photos" feature. However, I have not been able to use it at all due to the fact that every time I click to use it, I am met with, "You are offline. -Best photos currently only works when you're online." Which makes sense, however I am online. If I wasn't, I wouldn't be able to post this. I'm able to do everything else on my phone normally that requires Wi-Fi. I've tried using data, other local wifis around my city but no luck. I would love to use this feature but I am being blocked. Attached is what I see whenever I hit the best photos button. You can even see my connection in the top left there. 

Ao abrir o programa surge uma janela de relatório de erro do "Adobe Lightroom" dizendo: "A Adobe encontrou uma solução ou solução alternativa para o erro recente no Adobe Lightroom. Clique no link abaixo para obter mais detalhes." Mas o link "Clique aqui" não leva a lugar algum e ao fechar a janela o programa se fecha. Alguém sabe como posso proceder? 

Bonsoir a tous, J'ai un probleme que je n'arrive pas a résoudre. J'ai un forfait tout creative icloud de 100go, j'ai installer lightroom sur mon ordinateur portable qui fonctionne tres bien. Cependant j'ai voulu installé lightroom sur mon ipad, le téléchargement est ok mais une fois que j'ouvre l'application je suis tres tres restreints en outils et il me demande de payer pour tout débloquer, sauf que j'ai deja un abonnement.  Savez vous comment je peux résoudre ce probleme s'il vous plait ? 

Every time i want to export any image i just can´t change 240 to 300 or 72dpi.  The options just doesn´t appear in this version. All images are exported in 240!!!!!I refuse to believe that i have to make some kind of bridge using Photoshop to do this, considering that this is a so simple thing!  Anyone can help?

Do You know if there is an option of croping an image from center in LR on iPad?

Hi everyone! I need to save all my photos (work of my last 4 years).At the moment They are located in the Cloud, since I'm using Lightroom (cloud base) + 1 TbI need to save all of them (not 1 by 1, since I have more than 10000+ photos there) on my locale hard disk. Is there any way to do it? Thank you in advamnce

 Hola , buenas y feliz año 2023 .  Tengo como dos videos que la aplicación Ligthroom no los carga al pasarlos desde el celular a una carpeta de Ligthroom ¿ Cómo puedo lograr pasarlos y poder editarlos ? 

I did a test using the same base photo, but in two photos, I only increased the brightness – one in Lightroom and the other in VSCO. Notice that the photo that kept the colors vibrant and beautiful was the one edited with VSCO. Remember, I only increased the brightness, and no other adjustments were made.  The blue remained blue in VSCO and Lightroom, but in Lightroom, it turned into some kind of purple. LightroomVSCO  a foto original  

Is there any way we're I can have private albums of photos which I can share with different people and control who can upload photos to the album. For example say I went on a trip with some friends I'd like them to be able to upload photos directly to an album from there phones instead of sending to me and then I have to upload them or if I have a Shared Instagram account with other friends it would be nice if they could upload to a different private album where I can edit the photos and they can then take the edited version of those photos instead of me having to upload then and re-download them to my phone taking up duplicate storage space on my phone.       {Thread title updated by moderator}

I subscribed for the Lightroom android app premium features today, but it is not reflecting in my app. My google play app shows the subscription and it is asking to confirm the subscription through Lightroom app, which I am unable to do. I tried restarting the mobile phone and signing in, even that did nothing. I tried restoring the purchase, even that did not help, it shows no previous purchases. Please rectify my issue so that I can use the premium service.

Hi, I got some issues with Lightroom on my iMac.When I use masks or correction brush while processing high resolution photos, it starts to work terribly slowly. The same problem occurs when switching between photos (it takes 5 seconds and more), which is frustrating.Changing the photo correction settings such as exposure, contrast also has a slight delay, but it's not that much of a hassle. I have the latest firmware and system updates. I'm working on:- macOS Monterey 12.6.7- iMac Retina 5k 27"- Intel Core i5 3,2 GHz quad core- RAM 24GB 1600MHz DDR3- AMD Radeon R9 M390 2GB graphics The problem was already present in older versions of Lightroom. I tried to change anything in Preferences / Performance / Use Graphics Procesor but problem is still the same.Turning on and off synchronization doesn't help... I have Adobe programs installed on the OS partition, and I store and process photographies on another partition. Camera Raw in Photoshop does not
