Questions

Hello everyone, thanks for reading.Let's say I decrease the saturation of a photo by 90.If I then select a specific area using the mask tool and increase the saturation by 90, will the final result in that area be the same as before any changes were made? And if I reduced the overall saturation by 90, then selected with the masking tool, for example, a yellow jacket. Then proceed to the yellow slider and increase the saturation by 90.Will the yellow components of that jacket be the same before making any changes?Is this the answer always the same with contrast, texture, sharpness etc?I am very proficient with the program, but I don't know the answer to this yet. Thanks.

I updated Lightroom CC a few days ago and today I am using the masking brush since the first time since the update.  It's kind of a disaster,  in Mask mode, the brush tool zooms in unexpectedly at the start of each of my brush strokes and then immediately zooms back out. This is causing my brush to cut through parts of the image that are already masked. Every click it zooms in and zooms out. I am a professor of photography and teach lightroom, so it's not user error!  This is a new bug that only showed up with the new options for Super Resolution and Distraction Removals.  I do have super-resolution added to the image that I am working on, so I am guessing the bug has something to do with that.   I have to try to click on an an empty area (hard to do when zoomed in) so that the quick zoom in and out doesn't drag my brush through an existing mask. I often have to immediately undo the brushstroke and try again.  It is VERY annouying and t

Lighroom Creative Cloud 8.4(latest version) in Windows11Lighroom Creative Cloud seems to have an issue with my Nvidia Rtx 3050 6GB dGPU, but only in Creative Cloud,which I prefer using. It might be an Nvidia issue maybe you can clear this for me. When I let the performance from preferences on AUTO or HIGH PERFORMANCE, I can see photos in Detail and Compare,but as soon as I click on Square Grid or Photo Grid,it either doesn't show anything(greyed out as per screenshot)or the program crashes.Also if I select a photo from Detail and try to edit it,program is extremely sluggish and slow,doesn't change exposure in real-time for example.On the other hand,using a tool like Denoise works great and takes less than 20 seconds which is great.This obviously uses the dGPU  If I switch the performance on Power Saving(or disable the Nvidia Gpu from Device Manager in win10),all issues dissappear because the system uses the integrated Iris Xe graphics.But I can't use tools like Denoise b

Hello and a happy new year,I'm trying to download my Lightroom photos with Lightroom downloader, Version 1.0.5-20220504.116-64f8d2b. My photo library contains ~69k photos with a total size ~ 890GB.When I start Lightroom downloader, after giving a brief summary of the library, it starts with 'initializing download...'. The UI shows the name of the file processed at a rate of 1 file per second. That would be an estimate of ~19h for all 69k photos. After 36h I stopped the downloader, reboot my MacBook Air M1 and started again.There is no indication nor estimation of the overall process. I'm missing a bit logging and documatation on how i can estimate a download of a large photo library. My conclusion now is that the downloader is buggy as it takes ages for the download of a moderate photo library. Does anyone have ideas or can point to proper documentation? Thanks in advance, Claus 

Hi can I set the background color (white) to black for the upright transformations?

Schaltet man in Windows 11 unter Systemeinstellungen Bildschirm HDR ein werden die Cloud Dateien von Lightroom nicht mehr geladen . Lightroom funktioniert nicht mehr ! Schaltet man HDR in den Systemeinstellungen Windows 11 ab geht alles wieder normal.Hat jemand das gleiche Problem?

Is there a way to auto batch grouping or stacking of bracketed photos? Apparently this feature is available on Classic. Instead of having to select every 3 images, group, hdr merge and repeat for hundreds of photos there has to be a way to do at least one of those processes in a batch or automated, right? Why would adobe not put that on one version of lightroom and not the other? I can't figure out why so I'm assuming its user error, but if anyone has an answer it would save me and others I'm sure tons of time. Or at least the ability to run the process and go do something else while it runs. Running Lightroom cloud 7.4.1

From the first time I purchased lightroom the select subject and sky never worked it just crashed and reopened the app. Then for the last few months it has been working fine and it's honestly the best feature for what I use lightroom for. Now as of this morning I'm getting and error saying it can't detect the subject. On photos it has worked for before and every photo. I have cleared the cache, uninstall reinstall and still nothing. Not happy at all. Hope this gets rectified asap or a fix is provided.      {Title edited by Moderator}

I just downloaded Lightroom (mobile) 9.2.0 on an iPad 9th generation 17.3.1. When I try to take a photograph in Lightroom using the front (selfie) camera, the image just keeps flipping really fast. No problem with the back camera nor with either camera using Apple's camera. app.Here's a long shutter shot of it, which easier than explaining what kind of flipping: 

All of a sudden my adobe lightroom isn't detecting subjects while trying to edit. It can do all the others but not subject...has anyone had this problem? I've turned my phone off and on etc. Nothing works. Any ideas   [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]

Bonjour, Je viens de télécharger la suite Adobe dont lightroom classic. Mais je n'ai que le module bibliothèque qui s'affiche je ne peux donc pas retoucher les images. Pouvez vous m'éclairer ?  D'avance merci 🙂

Lightroom CC isn't displaying any of my images on desktop; I just get this on my lightroom window. I've reinstalled it and cleared my cache, but neither of these have helped.  

So, Lightroom is changing the creation dates when exporting photos to the date I am exporting that photo. The new file will have this new date, and before, by unchecked "Automatically write changes into XMP" on the Catalog Settings, when exporting an image, the file created would keep the creation date of the photo. It would help in terms of organizing photos and files. This new way, to access metadata and therefore the creation date, I need to check individullay each photo on LR. It is time consuming. Anyone else dealing with this also?

Hi guys. Is there a way to not allow saved pictures to be zoomed? 

Signalement de bug — importation des fichiers CR3 sur Lightroom mobile Bonjour, Depuis la mise à jour de Lightroom mobile effectuée ce jour (version 10.4.1), l'assistant d’importation / explorateur interne ne liste plus les fichiers CR3 (Canon RAW) présents sur mon appareil (Galaxy Z Fold 6, Android 14). ➡ Avant cette mise à jour, ces fichiers apparaissaient sans problème dans l’assistant d’importation.➡ Les fichiers .ARW (Sony RAW) sont toujours bien visibles et importables depuis le même répertoire.➡ Les fichiers CR3 restent parfaitement lisibles un par un si je les ouvre via l’explorateur de fichiers Samsung (en partageant vers Lightroom). Il s'agit donc d'un problème de détection des fichiers CR3 dans l’assistant d’importation. Pouvez-vous corriger ce bug dans une prochaine mise à jour ? Merci de votre aide.

Hi I am Dario Schiraldi here, CEO of Travel Works. How can I sync my Adobe Lightroom edits across multiple devices? I often switch between my desktop and mobile, and I have love to make sure my edits stay consistent. If anyone has experience with this or can share some tips, I have really appreciate it!   Regards, Dario Schiraldi

I use the Geotag Photos2 app and am able to import GPS data into Lightroom Classic using the Map Module. However, when I travel I use the Lightroom Mobile app.How do I acces the GPX file so I can import the location data into LR when I am on the go?

Hello everyone,   since Lightroom was updated I have not been able to improve (reduce noise) in my images, can anyone help me?

Before upgrading, LR correctly reported over 100K photos next to "All Photos" in the left sidebar. I keep originals on this Mac Studio M1 and can confirm there are still 106,130 photo files on disc. However, after upgrading, LR now reports my library has only 50,732 photos. And many folders seem to be "messed up" in almost an opposite sense: they report having photos, as they should, but the grid view is empty (no filters enabled—screenshot attached). This is a serious problem.  

Lightroom got an update, and it shows on PC.  Main issue is copying and pasting the edit settings is more difficult. They don't load at all. I copy the edit settings from the photo edited, and after I paste it forward to the next photo, it makes a loading screen and then doesn't do anything. Meaning, pasting edit settings is unavailable. The new update denoise feature is also not working as good as the one before.   Version 8.4, PC I do have a screen recording of this.

Getting the "Something went wrong" + "Please try again later" error message when trying to apply blur (without any blur previously applied) on an image in Lightroom. I usually encounter this when my internet connection is slow. I usually resolve this by waiting till my connection improves, and sometimes just be restarting the app. Now neither of those is true, and the last stage is gets to when applying the blue is "Detecting depth using AI..." before the error is displayed. Was working fine about ~12 hours ago as of posting this. I'm thinking this is a server issue rather than a local one, but if there's anything I could do to resolve it on my end, let me know, thanks.

For months now I experience that using the (background) mask option generates an error. For me an important feature to the extend that if it is not fixed i am going to look for alternative app. I hoped with the new update the issue would be solved,but no. Just updated and the same roadblock appeared. Annoying.    

I just wanted to share my appreciation with the LR team for enhancing my experience exponentially with the new AI features like selecting certain features of a person, not just the whole person, and the object removal tool. I'm tempted to go back through a lot of my old work and re-edit them but that'd take weeks. In the meantime, a Thank You will have to suffice.

On my Android phone (Samsung Galaxy S22) I have one folder selected with the option "Auto add from device". Every time the new photos are added to this folder from the device a bunch of random photos from other Lightroom folders (not on the device at all but from the Lightroom cloud) are also added to this dedicated folder. Sometimes it's like 10 photos, sometimes it can be up to 1000 photos. It's completely random, what is not random is that this happens every time new photos are imported. I have already reinstalled Lightroom on my phone several times. Why is this happening and more importantly, how do I stop it?   [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod]
