Questions

Completely overhauling my workflow, and need input on my proposed workflow and questions about each stage.   Workflow: 1) Upload images from camera to External Hard drive.2) Import images from external drive to Lightroom Classic.  Cull and edit in Classic Allow Classic to sync my collection to Cloud only after wanted images only remain. This is where questions start:Will Lightroom CC register the edits that I did in Classic if I synced to cloud? If so, how do I import the images into CC to ensure this?3) Import culled/edited images into Lightroom CCAllow cloud sync in CC, this should bring in the images from Classic and their corresponding edits?CC will make its own folder with the original images and edits?Can I move this folder to my external hard drive?4) Have all full-sized, original images with their edits stored on the Cloud I want this, as I am paying for 1tb storage to keep all my images in the cloud as a backup if something happens

Hi. I use Lightroom 8.1.1 for iPhone. For the last couple of days I can't upload photos from google drive. I see the photos in drive when trying to add them to my library but when I select them and click "Open" it looks like trying to upload them but nothing happens. Usually it takes seconds. I tried log out and log in again. I tried uninstalling the app and installing it again. Nothing worked. It gets stucked as shown in the picture. Please help. 

Is there anything similar to the ACR Color Sampler Tool in Lightroom? I know there's a white balance eyedropper, but I don't see any way to place reference points on an image so I can compare their numberical values while performing adjustments. For example if I'm adjusting a flat surface like a pencil drawing on paper that's not perfectly lit I would want to adjust it so all 4 corners and the center have the same brightness. In ACR I simply place a few reference points using the Color Sampler Tool and refer to their RGB numbers to quickly fix the image with whatever tools are needed. But in Lightroom I cannot find any similar tool. I know that LR's RGB numbers are only displayed when soft proofing. But there are still RGB% values displayed that could be used.  Is that an ACR feature that never found it's way into Lightroom? Thanks to anyone who might know ... 🙂 Russell 

1) Even with smart previews enabled and cached on the disk, even with GPU acceleration or not, even with Nvidia panel's forced graphic processor usage, even with 1080p screen and maxed frame rate to 30fps, even with sRGB color profile or the screens' default ones, you cannot preview fast the presets. 2) Also, comparing to the Tablet version, there are NO small preview squares next to each preset's name. On Windows devices, you are forced to mouseover each one, while lagging. Am I missing something here? This is getting really annoying.

First, I am using Lightroom CC. I have historically only performed local backups of images. I only want the cloud storage for when I am traveling. I inadvertently selected the sync option for my entire library at some point, and the system tell me that the storage is 97% full. However, when I go into the creative cloud app to look for files, there are none. What do I do?

I tried to uplaod some presets, but it did not work. It says files are not valid. Since then my Lightroom cannot add any pictures anymore. I tried to uninstall the Lightroom and install it again, but it did not work. I have attached the picture of the error. Can someone help me out with this issue? PS. I am not really very good in the Technical aspects of LR, I just use it for pictures editing. Thanks in advance. 

Hey everyone, probably a very stupid to ask but when I create a radial gradient it doesn't display the size options to make the gradient bigger or smaller or change the shape.

With Lightroom CC's "Enhance" feature, enhanced images are duplicated in the DNG file format. However, with thousands of photos in a library, it's difficult to go through and track down every duplicate just to export them. Since we can filter by JPG/JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and others, why can we not yet filter by the DNG format? It would be a huge help for exporting and managing images in my library. It would also help with clearing out cloud space; enhanced DNGs essentially double resolution and slap a ton more metadata on the images, and the resulting files are multipe times larger than the original versions right after import. This feature likely  wouldn't be such a huge deal for those with more years of experience and more physical and cloud storage space, but for someone like me, I don't have the money yet to invest in a 1TB subscription. 20GB fills up fast.   If anyone who reads this has things to tack onto my idea, please share!

Hi guys, happy Friday! My LR Mobile v.8.1.1 has stopped Sorting Pictures by File Name (this option is not available now), and there is no Search Bar at the top of the page. Also, some earlier photos cannot be loaded referring to Error T20200914:response status 403. Restarting of app/iPhone does not help. Can you advise how to fix this? Many thanks in advance!

I use LRClassic and sync my library to CC so I can edit on the fly.  Works well since it doesn't use any of the 20GB limit.  When I shoot with my phone or import from my SLR directly to my iPAD, it uses a portion of the 20GB.I want an easy way to see what originals have been directly imported to Lightroom (cloud) so that when the time comes as I get closer to the 20GB limit, I want to know what I can remove from the cloud service (since its already been downloaded locally to Classic and my local backups). I understand from the Sync FAQ, there should be a collection called 'From Lightroom' for this purpose but its missing in my Classic collections.  Any advice how I can get this back so I can easily see what is taking up space of my 20GB allowance?

I'm having a persistent issue across all versions of Lightroom (iPhone, Mac, iPad) where, when applying a preset to an image shot using the iPhone 14 ProRAW image profile, the image has its exposure pushed down at least -1 to -2 stops.The only profile presets in Lightroom I can use which don't result in this unwanted adjustment in exposure are (unsurprisingly) the Apple ProRAW profiles themselves (Colour & Monochrome).When I shoot without using the ProRAW setting applied the issue isn't present.Below I've attached a series of images that show a preset applied to a raw image and an out the box jpeg. I've also shared each original image for compare and contrast. I've used the same profile (Agfa Optima 100, RNI FILMS) in both instances and have not applied any other editing (white balance correction etc).I've used screens from my phone as reference – but – this isssue is persistent across all devices I use to edit photos.Regarding my kit: I'm shooting on an iPhone 14Pro

I have bought a subscription to Lightroom on my macbook.  I've downloaded the mobile app for my iphone 14 and I can't use any special effects.  They say it's premium.  When I want to use the special effects like 'season: summer' it says that I have to have premium.  On my macbook it's works perfect but if I use my iphone, I can only use basic things but nothing like the premium things.  

Imported Pictures, shot with the iPhone 14 Pro camera app, are dark.

Hallo liebe Community,   ich habe folgendes Problem:  Nachdem ich in lightroom mobile meine bisherigen Aufnahmen vom Handy in meine Aufnahmen gezogen habe, erfolgt bei der nächsten syncronisation mit Lightroom CC folgendes: Lightroom CC erstellt automatsch Unterordner mit Datumsangabe und fügt dort die jeweiligen Handyfotos rein. Das möchte ich natürlich nicht. Wie kann ich das abstellen? Danke und Grüße    

You can see from the screenshot below I'm having an issue with LR saying in the main pain the folder is empty. The folder itself, on the left, shows it has pictures. I tried making a new folder with a different name and upload the pictures but it told me the pictures had already been uploaded. I see the pictures on teh hard drive and don't know why it is doing this in only two folders. None of the folders are up to date with uploads to Adobe so again, why do all the others work but these two do not? I have updated LR, I have all the patches in Windows 11, I never migrated from Classic I started with LR.     

After applying a preset or edit a photo, I export my photo.I quit Lightroom, but decide de open the program again and edit more.The program opens at my last edited photo, but the photo is in original.Lightroom is not saving any edits.Do you have any solutions?Thank you!

I upload raw from my camera to my phone via a FTP server on my mobile when I'm on the road.I put the photos under /Download/FTP/ which is where I want them. After that I want Lightroom Mobile to automatically pick them up with the "Auto add" function. However, when I go to the settings for it, with the "Import from all locations" check to off, I only get folders that are under /Pictures on my phone. I can't use FTP to upload the photos under Pictures, because then the RAWs will automatically be picked up by Google Photos, which is not ideal(they are not processed and take too much space). Why can't we import photos from any location we choose?  

Im facing this problem, when i try to Open camera from the Lightroom Mobile app to take a photo, It just gets stuck on endless black screen (screenshot will be added) and my Phone camera is perfectly fine. I think its a bug that's need to be fixed Asap. App version: 8.1.2 (latest version as of today) Device: Walton Rx7 Mini  Specs: Mediatek Helio P60 , 3/32   

My Light Room isn't loading or showing any images from the gallery. I tried to update it, but still same. That was Jan 19-23.Jan 27, I uninstalled and download a new one,  it works perfectly Feb 1st until I closed the app again.After closing the app, the same issue came up. It is still not loading images up to this moment. Please kindly work on it.   

Hi. I recently returned from a stay in Oman, where i made loads of pictures. I imported them into lightroom CC on my iPad. Now I want my photos on my desktop Lightroom Classic. How can I geet to the original files.Thanking everybody in advance.Best regards Jens

Hi, Context: After years of using Lightroom Cloud and neglecting my old Lightroom Classic catalog (both on Windows), I just used Dropbox to sync the catalog and all photos to an Apple Macbook M1. Then I started a 'trial' of the Photography plan with 1TB (from just Lightroom with 1TB) to have access to Lightroom Classic again (on my old computer it was expired but could still be used to open old catalogs and export them). The old catalog just opens fine with Lightroom Classic (it's already in v12 format), and it can access the folders and find the images. When I do this (all on Mac OS Ventura 13.2, Macbook Air M1 2020):- In Lightroom Classic (12.1):-- Create collection set for a folder hierarchy (I organized by year and event date)-- Export this collection set as a catalog    (There are only some errors/warnings about missing previews)- In Lightroom (Cloud, 6.1 MAS arm64):-- File - Migrate From... - Lightroom Classic Catalog... - Continue - Continue-- Brows
