Questions

In the Albums tree on the left side of the screen, folders always appear first, followed by albums. How can I sort these entries by A-Z without regard for the type? In other words, I don't want the folders to always be first: I just want everything sorted alphabetically.

I added in my photos and it won't view them or in the photo bar below. 

even though I select for it to copy then paste all masks, it doesn't. Instead of  being given the option to update the masks, the only option is to delete them. It will not copy & paste masks... 

If i had another decent alternative option than lightroom I am this close to switching to a new program. I swear every day I loose time redoing things over. Why cant there be an auto save feature? 

bonjour j'utilise depuis longtemps Lightrrom via mon phone.De fait aujourd'hui toutes mes photos sont sur le cloud Lightrrom et non sur le disque dur de mon pc.Comment faire pour réaliser une copie de sauvegarde sur un DD externe ?  

I have just had a nightmare weekend with Adobe and their garbage support and sales team. I essentially wanted to add more cloud storage to my creative cloud plan (an extra TB) and bundle everything as much as possible (stock/plan/memory).  The sale team ended up "upgrading me" to a teams account but I noticed I was still only at 1 TB of space. They then informed me that teams accounts are capped at 1 TB, so naturally I was frustrated this even happened with how much I emphasized that I needed more space. They then cancelled my teams account after canceling my individual acccount and reopened my individual account. The big issue now is that all my lightroom projects (1 TB of images) is now stuck in the teams account and adobe is telling me they cant transfer it back and the best they can offer is me downloading all my files.  I've lost about a week of time but years of edits and file organization because of mistakes adobe made and the best remmedy they could offer me

When I want to make a mask, I can't make anything darker or lighter, so why is that not working properly? When I want to cut out a picture, I can only cut it out through your sizes, Why can't I make my own cut how I want it, very annoying. When I use remove it only works for a few photo's then it will put back what I had errased earlier, or just not errase at all, How Annoying is this? I pay enough for lightroom that it works good, but it doesn't do that at all. I use Desktop, and I want Lightroom to work properly <Removed>  #Lightroom #Mask #NotWorking #Removing #NotWorking #CutOutpictures #NotWorking #Windows11 #Annoyed

I'd like to make a 2026 calendar with my photos - 1 for each month. Is there a template in any Adobe product that will do this? I'd like to be able to just drag and drop my photo, add a little text, and have the dates with major holidays already in the template. Thanks!

  Hi everyone,   I’m experiencing an issue with TheNoise in lightroom Desktop (not Classic): the amount slider just doesn’t load, even though I’m using RAW files, the latest version of Lightroom, and a MacBook Pro M1. I’ve followed the same workflow I used before, but it’s not working this time.   Has anyone else run into this? Any idea what might be causing it?   Thanks in advance for any help!

No puedo abrir fotos desde lightroom con la opción EDITAR EN PHOTOSHOP

Hola, por error borre unas fotos y ahora no encuentro nada en la papelera para poder restaurarlas, alguien que le haya pasado o sepan que se puede hacer?

Lightroom 8.5.1Windows 11 Pro, 24H2While deleting a large number of fotos I got the message "Lighroom ran into a problem with your local catalog and must either quit or restart". When restarting I get the same message. By inspecting from another PC I can see that the fotos are actually deleted, and not moved to the Deleted folder. Any workarounds?

As with all other updates you guys do screw up things that have been working perfectly before: this time it's generative remove that you've screwed.

I’m starting to use Lightroom CC and I’m having trouble with something very simple:I’ve downloaded various presets and have been switchiNg back and forth between a few but I’ve lost track of which image is using which preset and when I look in the presets list, there is no indication of which preset is being used. On other interfaces, you would see the preset name selected in bold or with a ✓ mark next to it, but there is no indication at all as to which one is selected.Am I missing something?

 Lr will not let me edit anything and keeps shutting down, telling me there is a bug. I updated the app TWO days ago. I work on a Samsung Galaxy s9. As soon as i open a photo to edit it, it kicks back to main page. This is my career, I have galleries due to clients within days. I pay for premium and cannot even use the app. Please fix this immediately. 

I connect my Nikon 850 directly to my iMac via usb cable to download pictures to Lightroom for editing. The Nikon 850 showes as "connected unit" in Lightroom, but when I clik on it to get access to the pictures, I get a message: "No pictures found"(Positively there are pictures on the memory card in the camera)What to do..? Lightroom versjon: 8.5.1 x64 [ 20250821-1548-c6398d5 ] (Aug 21 2025)NGL-versjon: 1.41.0.11WF-versjon: 7.4 a9dfbadVF-versjon: 1.0.154HIL-versjon: 40501CAI-versjon: c2pa-c/0.6.0 c2pa-rs/0.46.0PH-versjon: 5.2.3Operativsystem: macOSOS-versjon: macOS 13.7.8 (22H730)Programarkitektur: x64Datamodell: iMac18,3 / Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7600 CPU @ 3.50GHzLogisk prosessorantall: 4Prosessorhastighet: 3,5 GHz

I get this error code "19650929" when I open the Lightroom app on iOS. I’ve tried restarting the app and turning off the iPad, but nothing changes.I have a lot of photos in Lightroom with presets that I don’t want to lose. If I uninstall and reinstall the app, I’ll lose everything. How can I fix this error code? Thank you !  Mathilde   [Moved from ‘Bugs’ to ‘Discussions’ by moderator, according to forum rules.]

I have to use Lightroom very often to batch edit many photos for my photography business. There are some bugs that make keeping up with deadlines very difficult.1. After cropping an image, Lightroom will "forget" the crop and revert back to the original crop2. After using Remove tool, lightroom will also "forget" and my export will be without my Remove edit3. Batch "Denoise" is very slow and faulty. After using Denoise on multiple photos (10+) previews will appear pink and distorted on most of the renders, and I have to re-render. I have a few ideas for improvements too.1. I often have an issue with knowing if my edit's white point is properly exposed. Is there a tool we can get that can help us know that the final image is properly exposed?  

Je n'arrive plus à exporter avec LigthroomAvez vous une solution?

Hello Everyone,  A very silly question here, I purchased Lightroom and I figured that I had purchased Classic, but it seems like I may have purchased Cloud. Would y'all share with me how to change? Thank you so much. I did see a (switch plans) button but it seemed like I was cancelling for the same exact thing? There's little distinction.

According to online help: "In Lightroom for mobile, there is no direct feature to automatically add the word "screenshot" to the caption of photos", yet when selecting an image to add to Lightroom mobile the metadata Caption field is changed to "Screenshot". I want to know how can I stop that because it overwrites the caption that I add in the Photos app. The online chat agent says it does that to help me organize my images, but I don't want it to do that. How do I turn off the automatic caption over write with "Screenshot"?

Hi everyone, I’m experiencing very slow batch editing performance on my iPad Pro M4 using Lightroom. When I apply an edit to a small batch of 5 photos, it takes almost one full minute to complete the sync. This seems excessive, especially considering the iPad’s powerful hardware. Interestingly, when I try the same operation on my Samsung Galaxy Z Fold (Android), it’s significantly faster and seems to work more efficiently, even running edits in the background. I genuinely prefer editing on the iPad — the user interface feels more intuitive and enjoyable than on Android. But this issue is a real letdown and interrupts my workflow quite a bit. Is this a known issue with the iPad version of Lightroom? Or is this behavior expected due to how iPadOS or Lightroom handles batch edits? Would love to hear if others are experiencing the same, or if Adobe is aware of this discrepancy. Thanks!Quan

I work with LR latest version on a Asus Vivobook Pro (Windows).after hardly a minute the program crashes. Even only by scrolling through images in grid view (local).after a minute it comes online again but it keeps on crashing.I also have Bridge installed. Scrolling through images gives no problems. Was thinking Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 is root cause but crashing keeps happening even after shutting of GPU in LR settings.Any ideas what causes this? have deleted and re-installed LR many times.

This issue has been happening to me since around the last update. When trying to Add an Object to the Mask, Lightroom freezes during Detection of the Object Selection. I've waited several minutes for the Selection to load, it has led to unexpected crashes, or just not making a selection for several minutes and I cancel the process.Version: 8.5.1 x64 [ 20250821-1548-c6398d5 ] (Aug 21 2025)Platform: Windows 11Lightroom Desktop
