Questions

Hello,   This is the second post I've written in recent days about Adobe products. I happened to update all my apps (I don't update them often to avoid this kind of thing happening). Now I'm facing problems that are slowing down my work.   In this case, I discovered that version 9.0 of Lightroom desktop eats part of the edge of photos. Not all of them, just some (probably all those that have been manipulated with the “Geometry” panel under “Crop”. The bug may be in this panel).   They are all raw files. And they were taken with a Sony A7III.   As you can see from the video I'm attaching, the side edge of about 20-30 pixels disappears, where in reality those pixels are there. As you can see in the video, I simply changed the software version: from 9.0 to Lightroom 8.3.1. The latter displays the images correctly. The former does not: the edges of the images I showed you (but there are many others) are eaten.   Now, I understand that these are problems that happen

I can no longer drag and drop photos into LR for the iPad when using split windows. This worked with prior versions. For example before I could drag a photo from the Photos app directly into a LR album folder and have it import and add it. With the new iOS when the windows are side by side this no longer works.

Hi, I’m traveling and working iPad-only (iPad Pro, left my MacBook Pro at home since I'm on vacation) and using Lightroom iPad as my cloud backup. A few photos refuse to sync, but on iPad there’s no way to see which files are stuck (no per-photo sync status, no errors, no filters). The iPad has ~250 GB free, all photos are from the same camera, no panoramas, no videos, and most files sync fine. I’ve tried restarts, updates, keeping the app open on Wi-Fi, etc. Is there any way on iPad to identify or force-sync the photos that are not uploading?

Bonjour, un conseil sur une tablette graphique sans écran pour Lightroom. Merci d'avance

why is non classic lighroom so slow? I use a late model powerhouse of a gaming pc with top of the line graphics card and it constantly freezes and crashes many times daily even on complete fresh install. I tried formatting the pc and installed a clean version of windows 11 and installed a just clean version of lightroom only, meaning no other programs were installed on the computer and it still freezes and before you jump to answer this question, i did a windows 11 factory fresh install and only installed lightroom "no antivirus" on a different pc and have the same crashing problem. i have a fast internet connection also Now my editing work flow is seriously suffering & clients are growing very impatient!I'm so frustrated im looking for a solution -OR- maybe it's best I completely cancel all adobe products and use something better!

I have eventually updated Lightroom Desktop version but it is not suitable for my old laptop.  I need to go back to previous version and have read about clicking on 3 dots which I have tried but no option to go back to previous version, please can someone help me

I've tried to extract color themes in color.adobe.com by dragging/dropping images I'm editing in Lr, but that doesn't work at all. I called Adobe tech support, and after trying many different approaches, TS told me I can't use color.adobe.com with Lr, and even worse, color.adobe.com only extracts themes from jpg files and it won't work with dng files. Someone tell me that this can't be true. I work on a Mac mini (2024) with M4 chip, Tahoe 26.2, 32 GB memory, and all of my image files are on an ext HD.

Al pegar ajustes con reducción de ruido por ia, el programa muestra los menus de pegado y muestra el cartel de pegar con IA para mas tarde, no queda otra que presionar ese boton para que se hagan los ajutes, y luego aplicar la actualizacion de ajustes en todas las fotos seleccionadas, pero por lo general este proceso falla, en cuanto tiene que efectivamente aplicarlo no avanza de esa imagen y puede quedar horas si uno no controla, sin hacer nada. Intente comunicarme con un asesor por este tema pero no hubo caso. Nadie mas tiene estos problemas?Estoy a la mitad de un rabajo, sino migraba todo para probar lightroom classic.

I accidently synchronised LRCAT file and all the pictures in the file were gone. After that I saved it as a new LRCAT but the file was still empty. Unfortunately I do not have a back up of that catalogue.How to undo the synchronisation? Thanks for the response.

Disabling “Sync with Lightroom” for a Collection in Lightroom Classic causes the album to be deleted from all devices and from Adobe Cloud.This happens without warning, confirmation, or explicit user intent. The action was performed solely to disable synchronization and reduce resource usage, not to delete content. This behavior causes loss of work, loss of time, and loss of trust in Adobe Cloud. A non-destructive action results in permanent deletion across all devices and the cloud, making the synchronization feature unsafe to use in any professional workflow. This behavior is unacceptable.

Hi I have not been able to apply denoise to my images.  When I apply denoise, the apply AI settings takes a few seconds but does not apply the denoise effect. The image shows that I need to update AI settings but this also does nothing.  I am using Lightroom 9.1 on Mac OS 15.7.1. I downgraded to 8.5.1 a few weeks ago but had the same issue. I have also deleted my RAW settings from my computer and user libraries.

I'm new to LR and I have tried everything to figure this out. I'm trying to save my edited photos to a folder on my computer, but there is no button to do that. I've googled it and it says it should appear when I right click or under File -> Export. It's not in either of those places. My dad bought the subscription to LR for Christmas for me, and he's trying to use my student discount so I don't know if something got messed up there or what. I redeemed the code on the website and then downloaded the app from that. I'm starting to lose my mind. Please help.

When copy+paste settings from a single RAW photo across 80+ photos, Lightroom eventually just hangs. This usually happens regardless of whether I've restarted my Macbook and Lightroom, it just gives up after 80 something photos. The same happens for AI updates, often in even smaller batches. So if I want to be safe I need to do 30-40 photos at a time, which to me defeats the purpose of the feature altogether. It's super unreliable and I cannot leave the computer unattended and let it do its thing to 150 photos like I used to. I'm on a Macbook Pro 14", 2023 model, 96GB of RAM, M3 Max. MacOS Sequoia 15.7.2.My GPU acceleration settings are on Auto. This is super frustrating for me because I have to do small batches now and don't get the time savings of being able to let it run whilst I get to step away to do other things. 

Hi everyone, I'm hoping for some insight into an issue I experienced where the mobiledownloads.lrdata folder that lives in the Lightroom folder on my computer's hard drive (alongside my Lightroom catalog) auto-populated without me realizing it. For context: I recently ran out of room on my computer's internal hard drive (I have a Lenovo ThinkPad that runs on Windows 11), so I purchased a NAS and moved all of my photos from my computer to the NAS. To do so, I followed the instructions in this video and made sure to clean up all of my folder connections in Lightroom Classic (LrC) before copying the folders to the NAS in Windows Explorer. After I copied the photos, I reset the folder connections in LrC to route to the new folders on the NAS (the folder structure on my NAS is the same as it was on my computer). By the time I was finished with this process, the "Folders" panel on the left side of my screen in LrC only showed the folders and folder structure that now existed on my main NAS d

Is there a way to see all my recently unedited photos, just like the "recent edits" tab? When uploading photos, it takes time for me to select all the photos I want to upload, and it's a little annoying when I can't see all the images I just uploaded on a single page, since they are separated by the time I uploaded each image. I end up with multiple tabs with a couple of images in each tab, all separated by a few minutes just because I uploaded them a few minutes apart. Is there a way to see all of them on one page?

Bonjour, j’utilise Lightroom sur IPad et on m’indique que mon stockage est presque saturé alors que j’ai supprimé absolument TOUS les fichiers présents dans les albums mais aussi dans la corbeille. J'ai également vérifié sur l'application creative cloud directement et je n'ai aucun fichier. Sur Lightroom Classic, mon dossier synchronisé est vide. J'ai passé deux heures à chercher des fichiers cachés éventuels mais rien n'y fait. A quoi correspondent les 75GO utilisés ? Comment les supprimer ? Je ne peux plus travailler sur ma tablette c'est très embêtant. Merci beaucoup. 

I have three RAW-files (RAF) that I try to "HDR Merge". In LrC this works fine. In Lightroom, the process appears to get stuck at "Gathering data... 100%". The "Auto Align" option is checked automatically. The other options are not enabled. The expected result is a DNG-file, just like what LrC is capable of making for me.As a work-around, I currently generate the HDR Merge DNG-file in LrC and then import the DNG-file to Lightroom, but I would rather be able to do everything in Lightroom without needing LrC. Adobe is essentially requiring me to install two copies of similar software, while I could do everything with just one piece of software from a competitor. Please fix this issue. I have seen similar posts on this forum without real resolutions.Thank you in advance. Lightroom version: 9.1 x64 [ 20251204-1659-82a72fd ] (Dec 4 2025)NGL Version: 1.42.0.5WF Version: 8.1 c099553VF Version: 1.0.164HIL Version: 40501CAI Version: c2pa-c/0.6.0 c2pa-rs/0.46.0PH Version: 5.2

I import my images using Sonys Creators App. I edit them using Lighroom, and afterwards i usually wanna get rid of the raw files on my phone again. Unfortunately, i can't store them all. Even with a lot of storage. So i tried to delete them from the Creators folder until i recently realized, that this also deleted all images i exported using lightroom. therefore i need: An option to export files in another album, Lightroom only, that does not link back into the Creators App album. Please add such an app option asap. It slows my workflow down drastically and causes data loss for me.

I like to cull pictures with my iPad when i'm on the train and so on and I do that with synchronized albums between my Mac and iPad. My problem is that the resolution is low and between similar shots I can't see which one is the sharpest or if there were some slight focus issues.  Is there any possibiilty to higher the resolution in synchronized albums?  Thank you guys very much!

I recently edited many lightroom mobile hdr images its looks good on dekstop and other but a problem is there  when exporting a Gainmap induced jpegs or other than avif or jxl. The Gainmap in minGainmap values are going way too below -1 is bad reproduction of existing image . The negative gainmap results in very odd pictures if exported through editing with mobile.Please fix the output of negative gainmap to some what above -1 or equal to zero.

When attempting to apply the Denoise function, Lightroom consistently freezes and is unable to complete the operation. This occurs even when no other adjustments are applied and the Denoise feature is the only setting enabled. As a result, the noise reduction is not applied to any photograph, and the process never completes. The issue occurs regardless of the number of images selected. The same behavior is observed when processing: Small batches (e.g. 30 images) Large batches (e.g. 300 images) The problem is reproducible every time. This issue severely limits the usability of the Denoise feature, especially for professional workflows involving batch processing. My laptop is a Macbook Pro M4. I would appreciate your support in investigating and resolving this problem. Kind regards,margherita   [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]

Hi,I currently use Lightroom CC (NOT the classic version, but the cloud) through my school account. I’m graduating soon, which means my school email will stop working and I’ll lose access to Adobe software. I would like to continue subscribing to Adobe services using my personal account.  This question has been asked for many years already, so I’m wondering if in 2026, there is finally a way to transfer all Lightroom CC photos, folders, and albums from an educational account to a personal one. I honestly don’t see any real downside to allowing users to continue using the service seamlessly after graduating. Manually exporting and re-uploading everything is extremely painful, especially when dealing with several years’ worth of photos and limited local storage. From a user perspective, enabling this would make it much easier to stay with Adobe after school, which seems like a clear win-win. Thanks in advance for any clarification.
