Questions

Just come back from a trip with 4000 images. Camera was mis-functioning and resetting date so many images have the wrong capture date. I have spent two days trying to correct but cannot. I select multiple images change date and only one image changes. I have Lightroom v8.3.1This is further confused by the fact that some genius has given the same name to multiple programs, making seeking online help difficult.Anybody?

I've searched for this and can't find an answer. I'm using Lightroom 8.3.1 on MacOS Land trying to export two batches of jpgs from raws in the cloud, one batch at print resolution and one for web. I can't figure out how to do any useful export naming to distinguish the two batches of files and keep which raw they came from. In DxO and CaptureOne I've been able to build templates like filename_print.jpg and filename_sm.jpg to distinguish the resolutions. In Lightroom the "Custom" setting doesn't seem to inlude the filename with the custom text. All I can get it to do is "print1.jpg" "print2.jpg" and so forth. I must be missing something. Are there fields I can use in the "Custom" box to get normal custom names and if so where can I get a list of them? Thanks

When I first installed Lightroom, I had (2) 15" VGA (Dell 15" LCD &Acer 15" LCD)  monitors pluged into the built in graphics controler & I was able to use 1 for the filmstrip, controls, etc... and the other for the image I was working on. When I upgraded to a single Acer 24 LCD wide screen HD monitor with a Raedeon HD 5450 2GB graphics card, I disconnected both of the other VGA/LCD monitors. After doing some work in Lightroom, I missed having the abilty to have the image on a seperate screen. So, I installed one of the old monitors. However, now Lightroom will only let me work on 1 screen. When I look at the "System Info" window, it says I only have (1) display. Can anyone tell me how to get Lightroon to detect my 2nd monitor? Running Windows 10 Pro, Intel Core i7-4790 CPU, 16GB RAM

Hi, Due to the confusing name changes on the Lightroom products, I'm having a problem finding an answer on any of the fora!   Currently using the programme in the subject and would like to use 2 monitors on my iMac setup.   Is there any way to do this yet?Many thanks in advance!

I experience that when editing, LR freeze for a short period, approx 10-15 seconds, when f. ex. you have eddited light settings, and move on to other adjustments, no big problem, but very annoing.what can be the reason MY pc is equipped like this13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-13400F32 GB memoryWindows 11 Home 64-bit Version: 26100.4061NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEMand my netspeed is in test around 90- 100Mb 

Since about 2 weeks (maybe since a recent PS update), I can't send a photo from LR to Photoshop for editing (using the built in menu option 'edit in Photoshop' when right-clicking a photo in my LR catalog). This is a very recent problem (always used to work) and maybe it started with a recent update of PS/LR (I can't tell exacly when it started. The error message tells me to check the Mac OS system settings (I am translating from German, it's supposedly in the security/automatization section of MacOS.). However, in that section of the Mac's system settings, there' only an empty window. I uninstalled both LR and PS, but that did not help. Curiously Photoshop's access to the LR catalog works fine, I can see my photos in Photoshop and open them directly in PS. Since my normal workflow is to develop in LR and retouch in PS (and then save back to LR), this is annoying. Any ideas what I could do?LR, PS and Mac OS: all updated to latest versions as of May 22, 2025.

Apologies if this is a dumb question. Maybe this is default behavior? I'm new to macOS (this week). I don't remember this happening on PC, but it could have and i just never noticed it. ISSUE:When Lightroom is open, i see the activity light on my external drive flash about every 4 seconds. I'm not doing anything in Lightroom at the time. This continues to happen unitl I quit Lightroom. My Originals cache is on an external drive. Some preliminary investigation shows that Lightroom is accessing the drive and writing temporary files called  .lrtester.tmp into the cache Originals folder. Is this expected? Thank you. Some partial output from the fs_usage command (my external drive is named Media_Main) sudo fs_usage -w | grep "Volumes/Media_Main"10:31:34.445864  stat64                                 /Volumes/Media_Main/Adobe/Cache/Lightroom CC/[deleted for privacy]/origina

je suis abonné depuis mai 2023.. Lightroom fonctionnait bien, sur mon ordinatuer portable, mais depuis un mois, il est impossible d'ouvrir l'application. Que dois-je faire? (je précise que mes autres applications fonctionnent correctement)Merci pour votre aide

Renewed my subscription, after it failed due to payment issues. Lightroom, still saying that subscription needs to be renewed in the app but not in the pop-up, which says subscription is active. Very annoying because I cannot do anything for like 2 weeks now.

Hi all, I'm using Lr on my Mac, iPad, and iPhone.The Location information are visible on Mac and iPhone. See screenshot from iPhone below. I would expect to see the same infromation also on the iPad. But this isn't the case. I was spending half an mornining chatting with customer support, but no success. The same behavour I can observe on an other iPad Pro (newer / different model)I'm I the only one experiencing that?  Rene

Пропали фотографии, они не успели синхронизироваться на облако, что делать? Фото очень важные их нет ни на каких носителях

I can´t find any modules or menus up in the right corner... As I understand there should be a bar with modules or menues with library, develop, map, book, slideshow, print, web... But I can´t see anyone of these. I would really like to find out how to see these modules. Does anyone know how to do to find them? Thanks in advance.

Hi @ allI installed lightroom 8.3.1. on my PC. Info: I paused the cloud sync. I do not want it to be synced. When I got a new PC I permanently had to switch from the new one back to the old one, because the new man made a lot of problems (not Lightroom related). This just as an info. Here is when the problems started: I'm oin a busy week, when we come back from the race track we check the photos, run them through an app and then do the fine tuning with adobe Lightroom. Last night, the first 100 photos went well through the app. Then I wanted to import the next 100 and it hung up after about 10 (first time ever that this happened. I'm doing this since 2 or 3 years - never had a problem). So I "x"-ed it and wanted to delete the 10 that have already been imported. First problem: it didn't let me delete the imported files. Tried it several times. No delete, no export, nothing. So I restarted the computer: same situation. Then I installed an older version and hoped that everythingg is

I've given up on trying to find where I can change my cloud storage after several attempts. One time an actual operator actually took my billing information to expand my cloud storage. No charge was actually ever made to my account so that was unsessful so only about 50,000 photos soon to be lost and no apparent way to retive or expand my could storage. 

Could you change the zoom in shortcut key from ctrl+= to ctrl++ Because the ctrl+= don't do anything, and I can't change the keymap settings on windows. And I can't set these keymap on xp-pen digital drawing table app.

my lightroom is stuck, and keeps on saying i need to synchonice, and I dont want that at all, and now i cant do my photo's anymore in lightroom. that's not good ! 

Just been on a month long trip to Spain. While there I added my selected images into LR Mobile for editing and they synched up to the cloud, presumably as original RAW files. Now home I’ve synched them with LRClassic and original RAWs are now also stored in the folder I designated on my hard drive along with the edits I did while travelling.  My question now is - can I swap out the original RAWs stored in the cloud for Smart Previews of those files created in LRClassic in order to save space in the cloud? If so, how do I do this? I still want them to be synched but with Smart P reviews residing in the cloud and the originals on my hard drive along with the edits. Or are S Smart Previews only synched and generated if the originals are imported into Classic from the start?

Recently with 10.3.2 I noticed I do not get all my raw files imported, they don't appear in "all photos". But I can see them in the gallery tab with a small LR symbol, I also notice a "duplicates skipped" notification when I'm missing photos.  When I try selecting and manually importing them from the Gallery tab I get the "duplicates skipped" message again. If I force the import with doing an edit from the Gallery tab they get imported.  What is going on, did you mess up the algorithm that's detects duplicates that it falsely flags new original photos that never haven been there before?  I'm paying for this software and need it to work reliable, I can't have it skip random photos that will be lost for me if I don't do manual checks. And I don't need your software if I have to sit down and do manual work.  

after some years using lightroom, I noticed that when I import pictures, Lightroom places them in subfolders, by year. I want to delete the subfiles--they are cluttering up my menu. I DON'T want to delete the pictures in them, just the subfile structure. How do I do that?

When I am using the masking tool and use the brush in Adobe Lightroom on Mobile(Android) the app crashes.

I uploaded a bit more than 1000 images last night, and all of them give error rendering file message which ive never seen before.
