Questions

I am getting fed up of all the niggling issues that I pay for so I’m shopping around.

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?

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, 

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.”

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.

Hello everyone, I would appreciate some help on the below issue;I have recently got a new laptop and have reinstalled LR Cloud on it, signed in, and just resetting up Presets. I can find the Presets within my files and select them for import I click select and then I just get this loading bar, but they NEVER load, just constantly show this bar. I have tried trying to sync them from Online but they don’t appear on Desktop app. I have tried closing LR and restarting the program PLEASE HELP! xx 

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.  

Hallo  I would please like help as I have tried everything that google and Chatgpt had. I lost all my preset when and I cant seem te re-import them I over 11k presets and non of them want to import please help 

Ao subir determinadas fotos para o Lightroom, percebo que as que vão para as pastas selecionadas não tem nada a ver com as fotos que escolhi. Eu tenho um vídeo que ajuda a descrever o problema. 

Lightroom constantly freezing or lagging

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

I downloaded the free desktop version of Lightroom. I want to use the Super Resolution feature. When I right click on the photo, the menu does not offer Enhance. I can’t find it anywhere in the program. I’ve attached an image of my screen when i right click. Please help.  

Hi, in need of some help! I’m an amateur photographer trying out lightroom, I have been trying to use the enhance tools, as well as denoise etc. I tried googling the issue and have tried various different things.I shot the images on a canon 5D mark IV in raw, they uploaded as CR2 files and I’ve converted them into TIFF. I have tried the new lightroom and also classic. I have plenty of storage on my Mac. Could someone please be able to help me 🙏 I will need it explained in the most simplest of ways if possible, like I said above I’m a newbie! THANK YOU

Problem Description: I am experiencing a consistent rendering failure when syncing photos that use a custom Canon linear profile (.dcp) from Lightroom Classic to the Adobe Cloud ecosystem (Lightroom Desktop, Web, and Mobile).Steps to Reproduce: Import and apply a custom linear profile (.dcp) to a photo in Lightroom Classic. The image renders correctly. Sync the collection to Adobe Cloud. View the image on Lightroom Web or Lightroom (Cloud version): The profile is not applied to the initial preview, and the image appears incorrectly developed (flat/dark). Manual Workaround: I have to manually open each image in "Edit" mode within Lr Web or Lr Cloud to "force" the profile to load. Only then does the image update and display the correct rendering.Major Impact: Adobe Portfolio: Photos synced via the Cloud appear incorrectly developed on my website because the "forced" rendering hasn't been triggered manually in the Cloud. Workflow: It is impossible to manually open hundreds of photos

So I am one my second day of the Lightroom trial.  I decided to try out the Lightroom Mobile feature.  I installed the app, but when I try to start it, it say to verify my account by hitting the verification on the email that is sent. But I never recive the email.  I tried loging in with my Adobe account, and waited over two hours and nothing came.  I tried using my gmail account, which is the same one used to my Adobe account.  But same result. My email does work, I have recived emails from Adobe, even the one confiriming my signup here.  My email is verified. My spam folder is clear.  I have Adobe listed as a contact and my inbox is far from being full.   I have Lightroom Classic installed and have been on the Lightroom Web.  I tried running the mobile app directly from the Creative Cloud, but that just started up the Mobile app, that then asked for my to verify again.  I even hit the “get help signing in” prompt, and when I try to find the account it says to “Check your inbox” again

This is the issue I keep having while trying to export my images. I have not been able to find an answer on how one might solve this issue. I came here to ask. Please let me know if you have had this issue and what needs to be done. Thanks! ABOUT:Version: Lightroom 6.0Platform: Windows 11To reproduce the problem: Export edited images at max resolution.Expected result: The images export to the desired location on my external drive.Actual Result: Only about 10 images are saved with the rest of the images not being saved (The image attached is what I am prompted with after "export" is complete)

My JPEGs come out fine from my camera, but when I import them into Lightroom mobile [Android], this is what happens. This is not my picture and I don't want Lightroom to change the colors of my pictures. Is this a bug or what?I need to change this asap but can't find any options.

HDR editing mode was automatically turned on if enabled in settings when I first started using the app several months ago. Now I have to turn it on photo by photo during editing. I used an iPhone 13 mini at first and now switched to iPhone 17. Photos are taken with the same cameras.

I can't get Lightroom mobile desktop to accept my MP4 or MOV movies. Lightroom classic excepts movie formats, why doesn't Lightroom mobile?

In Lightroom 9.1 I cannot see my color labels as I set them in LrC. Both latest update, all photos in synced collections correctly, no metadata issues reported in LrC.

 Image color changes from RAW (right) to left after pressing the develop button. 

Why lightroom force me to upload my photos to cloud?Beofre i could use matching styles for my photos on local and now its blocked for photos on local. Its allowed only for photos in cloud. Its extortion, coercion!This feature used to work without cloud uploads.
