Questions

Hello -Anyone using Lightroom Classic on a MacBook Air M4.? I am not a professional - photography is a hobby . Have used Lightroom classic on MacBook Pro and laptop needs to be replaced. Will I be able to run Lightroom Classic on the McBook air?Any advice would be most appreciated !Thank you !! 

Whenever I load Lightroom it can take 20 minutes or more to start up before I can do anything with it, it's very frustrating.  Is there anything I can do to speed it up? I'm running it on an iMac (from 2019, not the most up-to-date model) with plenty of free space. All comments / suggestions welcome

I,don't,see the import presets in lightroom.Ipad version  

 Hi👋I am using Lightroom Mobile with a paid Premium subscription. I seem to be missing tools for exemple; In the masking tools I only see the following options: Select Subject, Select Sky, and Select Background.However, I do not see the “Select People” option, even though according to Adobe’s documentation it should be included with Premium.I would like to know:Does my Premium plan include the AI “Select People” masking feature?If yes, why is this option not showing up in my app?Could this be related to the app version (do I need to update) or to my device (iPhone)?  Thank you very much for your help 🙏

Until recently, when I pressed the Delete key, Lightroom would correctly show the option to delete the selected photo (e.g. “Remove from Album” or “Delete from All Photos”).However, after I accidentally pressed something on the keyboard, the Delete key now only triggers “Delete Album” — even when a single photo is selected. 

I'm already subscribed premium feature in my I phone but premium features. Not working in my iPhone how can I resolve this issue please help me

Not sure why it's acting the way it is, but AI remove isn't removing the object I highlight but rather leaving a faint shadow of it, whether it's buildings or cars (I attached screenshots below). Hope it can be fixed. 1. Version: Adobe Lightroom 8.5.12. Adobe Lightroom, Macbook Pro w/ Apple M2 Max chip & 32 GB memory, Sequoia 15.7.13. Just using AI remove 4.

Adobe, what is going on with your Lightroom for iPad app? Many creators use this platform to edit their work, and the Lightroom for iPad features are now well behind pretty much every other platform you support, including desktop, iOS and web based. We are missing multiple keys features which are available on most of the other platforms, including AI Denoise, AI edits, Scene Enhance, Remove Reflections etc It is crazy that you guys think it is acceptable to roll these features out to iOS based apps, yet can't seem to push them out to iPad, where many people solely edit their work on.I notice your new Indigo camera app features AI Denoise, Remove Reflections and Super Res features - if they can run on an iPhone, why are they not available on iPads, particualrly the newer ones running the powerful M4 chip?I get that things take time and not every feature may appear on every platform at the same time, however the list of missing features on iPad continues to grow quickly, w

Bonjour j'ai un problème de synchronisation avec LC. Il ne synchronise pas toutes les photos. Certains dossier crées dans lightroom web reste vide alors que LC synchronise parfaitement d'autres dossiers. D'autres part il mouline en permanence sur un chiffre de 556 photos.Dans lightroom web il ne me signale aucun problème de synchronisation. Merci pour vos réponses .

 

Hello! I have a subscription for the "Lightroom 1TB" for almost one year and I mostly use Lightroom Mobile (Android) and web cloud based version. However in the last few days my Android Lightroom app has most of the tools blocked ("greyed", or actually it appears with a blue icon with a star inside), as if I were using a free version. I can use all the tools normally in web cloud version, but the Android app just won't allow me to use the tools, even though I'm logged in the same Adobe account. My current app version is v10.5.4. Already tried deleting cache and reinstalling the app, but didn't work.Thanks in advance for your help. 

I'm trying to sort out a backup solution for my content. Previously (many years ago) I used LR Classic and had a reasonably backup solution - local NAS with LRCAT+RAW images, also sunk to a cloud storage provider. I since migrated to LR cloud (really wanted multi-device access, and at the time it felt like Adobe was pushing towards Cloud as the superset of features). Now I sit with ~100K images (just under 2Tb) in my LR cloud collection. The problem - there is no backup solution. What I've been doing is having a PC setup with LR desktop that syncs full res images and then I backup the cache directory to NAS, which gets me the 3 backups w/ 1 offsite that is recommended (LR cloud being the offsite copy). The problem is that this doesn't capture edits or my actual catalog (taging, collections, etc.)... so in the event of catastrophic failure I'd have all my raw images, but have to start from scratch on editing. I am trying to use LR classic and sync to the cloud c

Hi,All the photos I edited and saved to my gallery with Lightroom are missing. The folder that Lightroom creates for the photos I edit with the app is also missing from my gallery.How do I recover those photos 'cause they are 100+ and are my best photos.

Hello, I would like to export my image but the preview really doesn't match the export. I already had this issue when using Photoshop and his Camera Raw filter. So I switched to Lightroom but the exact same problem keep going. The preview doesn't match the preview of the export and the exported image itselft. I'm in sRGB by the way, on my display

I have been having this issue as long as I have been using Lightroom for iPad, since early 2020. previously it happened when importing from an Apple usb-c to SD Card reader. this was using uncompressed raws off a Sony A7R4 from a 256gb sdcard. The fuller the SD card the more likely it was to crash when importing. the only workaround i could find on ipad os 16 was to use files import instead of direct import, this would usually work, but would also sometimes crash.  Now I am using a prograde cfexpress a reader, reading A7R5 lossless compressed raws off a sony 320gb cfexpress a card, on the latest version of LR for ipad and up to date ipad os 17. I have ~3600 lossless compressed raws on my cf express a card, and the LR import keeps crashing during import when it gets to around the 3000th picture it is copying. When i reopen LR, it gives me error code 19700902, forcing me to force quit the app and relaunch.   This is especially frustrating as it wastes a

todo el rato se esta cargando, no puedo editar una foto por que al tocar los cursores o no van o tardan demasiado en hacer lo que les pido, se cierra el progtrama derrepente y no guarda lo que esta editado, tengo la subscripcion al dia, y no es nada facil ponerse en contacto con alguien para que me de una solucion. 

Hey All,I can't seem to figure out how to filter for all photos I've not added to an album. I want to clean up everything I've not categorised.I vaguely remember doing this is the past, I even had my workflow built around it, but now if I type 'album:' in the search bar it only shows me my 'shared albums' but not the ability to select 'no albums' (or even my own albums for that matter.Does anyone have any help? PS. Also, Lightroom seems to completely lack any real documentation apart from the very limited 'user guide'. And it's mad that for such an expensive piece of software thate is no support.

I want to filter for 'rating' 'is' 0 and 'album' 'is' none.In the smart album I cannot filter for unrated (when setting rating 'is' to 0 stars it simply doesn't save or apply) so I cannot use those.In the search I cannot search for album is none.

Hi, I have adobe lightroom on my MacBook (Sonoma).I've previously been able to upload RAW images from my hard drive to my Lightroom Web app fine in the past. Now when I try to upload, a few images start uploading. Visually, I can see the bar with the image file name in it, start filling up (representing the upload). Then after about 10-15mins, all the images say "unable to upload" in red text and the upload cancels itself.I had over 5k photos on there which I've now deleted most (currently around 1.5k) and still it cancels on me so I don't think it's a storage issue. I just deleted the recycle bin and tried uploading again. It seems to be working now but not sure if it will actually go through.I've tried to upload the entire folder again. Because I've done it a few times now, random files have uploaded here and there so when I try to reupload, I will now get sections where the text turns yellow and says "duplicate" and doesn't upload. This is great but wondering if there's a limit

Hello, Since the latest update of Lightroom mobile on my Nokia 8, the possibility to take photographs with the app has disapeared (no more blue camera). Is this normal? Could it be specifically related to my device (no more supported for ex)? Thank you in advance! Joël

I edited a raw file in PS and added text.  The tif file looks fine in LR Classic but LR does not show the text. 

If I open a photo in the Detail view, zoom in on it, and then zoom back out, Lightroom will no longer show the photo centered in the view. Worse, once it gets into this state, every photo I open will appear off-center (and cut off at the edge) in the view.   The amount of "off-centered-ness" is proportional to where in the photo I zoom in. If I zoom in on the corner of the photo then every photo after that will have only that corner showing in the Detail view.   The only way to fix the issue is to close the app and restart it.   Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Version 5.2 Build 20220128-1049-86119e0 MacOS Monterey 12.1

Hallo zusammen. Nachdem mein Speicherplatz innerhalb meines Abos voll war, habe ich der Einfachheit halber jegliche Lightroom Applikationen auf verschiedenen Geräten abgemeldet und die Bilder und Daten aus der Cloud gelöscht. Auf allen Geräten waren alle Dateien offline gespeichert. Ich habe zunächst ein Gerät wieder angemeldet um zu sehen ob die App mit der Cloud synchronisiert.Was letzten Endes passiert ist, ist das alle Daten der App gelöscht wurden.Statt zuvor 21GB Bilder und Daten ist nichts mehr vorhanden.Stellt sich mir nun die Frage, was passiert wenn ich das mit dem nächsten Gerät mache?Sehr wahrscheinlich exakt das selbe.Ich bin davon ausgegangen das zumindest gefragt wird "Sollen die offline Bilder und Daten mit der Cloud synchronisiert werden" statt das alles gelöscht wird.Wie sicher ich mich nun ab, für den Fall der Fälle, so das sich das nicht auf dem anderen Mobilgerät widerholt?Eine Desktopversion von Lightroom habe ich nicht installiert.Normalerweise arb

As I migrate from LR Classic to LR I want to be able to print directly (without exporting) a processed image from LR on iPad to my Epson SC700 printer. I cannot find a way to do that (as of Oct. 2025) and wondering if anyone knows if this is possible and what the process is. Thanks!

I'm trying to fix some keywording issues which propagated from Lightroom Classic to Lightroom (keep wanting to call it CC) - at some point, keywords applied in Photo Mechanic with the vertical pipe separator character stopped getting split when uploaded to Creative Cloud, so I have a bunch of photos with keywords that look like "USA|CT|Hartford" and "Bird|Finch|House Finch" in Lightroom. I was further dismayed to find that the keywords aren't editable in Lightroom - they can only be deleted - so there went my plan to replace the vertical pipes with commas.The next option was to copy and paste keywords after correcting one in a series of shots - this works on my iPad, but the workflow is still not optimal, so I figured I'd try it on the desktop instead. Try as I might, though, I can't find any way to copy and paste keywords in the desktop version of Lightroom. Am I missing it somewhere, or is it really not there?I won't even get into the fun of remembering that I have to do all of my ke
