My mobile app shut down while importing photos. This happened several times then I got a message that 183 of the 380 photos. Is my storage full or is there another problem?

Hello everyone, I'm not sure if this is the correct page to post this?...But anyway...   I'm new here but previously had Lightroom many years ago although I didnt use it alot and its changed loads since 2014. However the reignition of my photography intrest after selling my D850 and buying the Nikon Z8 coupled with the frustrating 'Apple Photo' editing software has lead me to buy Lightroom again.   Now I say the Apple Photo is frustrating, well a lot of that may of been down to the limitations of the Laptop I was using as although its a 16'' Macbook Pro it is several years old and only has 16GB of Ram so editing photos over 50MB it used to take ages to catch up with some of the edits especially if I was using the 'Retouch Tool' which I use alot as I have loads of old negatives scanned onto disc & then downloaded onto my PC and as they are really old negatives most have inperfections on them I have to edit out.   So along with a new camera I also splashed out an the A

Using Lightroom v8.2 on Mac. I uploaded a batch of images yesterday and those that used any AI features such as Denoise or removing elements are not syncing to the cloud. All other images from the same upload batch synced without problems. I tried exporting a DNG or JPEG of these images, and re-adding them to catalogue, and they will still not sync. In lightroom web, these appear in the sync issues folder with the message "Open image in Lightroom on Macbook Pro to continue syncing" despite that Lightroom is infact open and attempting to sync infinitely. I tried opening an unrelated JPEG and it synced without issues, it appears directly related to only the images that got AI masks or processing. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling lightroom without success. Uploading these DNGs into the lightroom web led also resulted in "upload failed" message; suggesting that these images are somehow corrupted by the AI feature.   [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community

always error code7 can,t open camera raw why i must pay for such a useless app?   [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]  

I take pics for school sports and need to get rid of past years..  How do I deleted Albums and pics permanently from my folders in bulk.  Only way i see is individually.  

I remember a while ago while using lightroom you could select a shortcut on your keyboard to preview you final edited photo in lightroom. There were 3 options, with 3 variable settings to black out the background panels and controls so that only you image was visable. I thought it was "command + L" which you clicked up to 3 times to roll through the 3 black out options. I can't seem to find any reference to it on this new version of Lightroom. Does anyone else remember this preview option? 

Soooo tired of continuously not being able to scroll through images by using the arrow keys.  I particularly notice it after selecting and deleting a group of images.  Then going back to scrolling doesn't work without having to fiddle around or closing and restarting the app.     [moved from bugs to discussions according to the community rules - Mod.]

Hello! I've recently encountered that the cropping feature has become extremely "laggy" and is not smooth at all. I've messed with storage and clearing cache with no success, so I went ahead and deleted the app and reinstalled it and it appeared to fix the issue as I used it for a few minutes and then closed it. Now, after opening it again for the second time after reinstalling, it is does the same thing. I'm not sure if this is a phone issue on my end or a software issue on the app's end that I need to wait out. Any help is appreciated!

Hello, Within the past week, the web version of Lightroom has become so slow that it is not usable. It used to take a few seconds for all photos to render. Now, it takes over 30 seconds. I'm using a Chromium-based browser: Edge on Windows. I have a high-end desktop with a month-old clean/new install of Windows 11 Pro and a 5080 graphics card. I have reset Edge to defaults and reinstalled Edge with no improvements. The slowness occurs on my laptop, too. I would rather not remove/import my library again or use another browser unless this is an isolated instance to me or my account. Is anyone else experiencing this slowness with Lightroom on the web with Windows using a Chromium-based browser? Paul

My camera has a built-in GPS, and the data goes right into the xif data, in-camera.  Lightroom Mobile seems to remove this data when photos are transfered to LRM on my iPad, and that's a big problem for me. This behavior seems so weird to me. Does anyone have any suggestions or insight? I have no interest in cloud storage of my photos. I use LRM just so I don't have to lug a laptop around.Thanks,-Ron

who are you asking?  stock contributors?  lightroom users?  some other group?

In the last couple of weeks Lr desktop 8.2 (not classic) is getting more diffcult to open with my windows machine without have to restart/shutdown mutilple times.  Each day it gets worse.  I cannot find any help online becasue all the references refer to classic.  Any help would be apprecated.  thank you

I cant figure out why my pictures are importing very blurry and pixelated

Lightroom is suddenly freezing and not responding. I don't know if this is because of a bug from the new update today, but it wasn't acting like this two days ago. I unloaded a couple hundred photos, closed other apps that might be using too much memory or GPU, and I troubleshooted my RAM to find any issues. Nothing was wrong, but Lightroom keeps freezing. I keep having to force close the app through Task Manager. Any help?

Any good AI tools for Lightroom to automate softening wrinkles in textile photography? Looking for suggestions. I do product shots, mostly garments, and want to minimize the post editing time I take softening wrinkles on the clothes. I use the tools Lightroom offers quite well but are looking to see if I can automate some of this work since I work with batches of dozens of photos at a time.Thank you

Hello,I'm working on relearning some of my Lightroom skills after a long hiatus and am using a Mac.  On a recent photo shoot, I realized I had RAW(Canon CR2) and JPG capture set.  Fortunately, I didn't just have JPG set!!  Obviously I'd prefer to just import the RAW files to work on and store in the cloud. When I click to "add photos", from my SD card, it shows all the photos (both RAW and JPG), but I can't see an obvious way to filter the window so I only import the RAW photos.  There are over 1,000 photos on the card, so individual selction will take a long time.   Does anyone know how I can set it up to only import the RAW files and skip the JPG files?  If there isn't a way, is there an easy way to do this, post-import? Thanks so much for your help!

My workflow relies on importing RAW files into Lightroom mobile on my iPad Pro. The images are fully synched and backed up in Adobe Creative Cloud and are fully accessible from my desktop Lightroom CC and Lightroom Classic on my iMac. Have I created a problem by importing RAW files directly into Lightroom on my iPad?As the images are backed up in Adobe Cloud, shouldn't Lightroom mobile automatically delete the original RAW images?How can I free up my iPad memory? Is the only option to delete the app and reinstall it and will this affect the Abobe Cloud images? thanks, Hadrian

Hi! When I export back from Lightroom, color saturation increases / color changes, which in my case makes the image useless. I am using Lightroom version 8.2, Macbook Pro Sequoia 15.3.2. I have done thousands of images & this is first time it's happening today. I haven't change any settings. Really need help on this. Thank you. 

I'm not even sure how I can describe it, but after activating HDR on my display and on the image sometimes the preview of SDR images becomes like this.After scrolling a couple of images and activating/deactivating HDR on those this bug was fixed, but it's still very annoying.Using Lightroom 8.2 from adobe cc

I have been having issues with Lightroom Desktop. Initially, I thought it was an issue with my PC's CPU (previously over 10 years old), but after making significant hardware upgrades, I am still having this issue, and the desktop version is unusable, outside of importing photos for me to edit on my tablet.    While opening any photo in the detail view, clicking on anything causes the screen to flash and the program to go unresponsive for several minutes. I'm not able to change any sliders, access presets, or change photos without this occurring. While in grid view, if I go to copy settings or change galleries, it will also freeze, but it seems to be alright when navigating the UI, creating or organizing galleries/folders, importing photos or exporting to SmugMug.    Given the significant upgrades to my PC, I would think the program should run even better than it does on my tablet, and I would love to have that functionality back.    Below are my LR and sys
