The August 2026 release of Lightroom Classic (v15.5) brings a mix of creative enhancements, workflow improvements, and reliability fixes designed to help you edit with greater precision and confidence. From more refined masking controls to a new way to create rendered DNG files, this update focuses on giving photographers more flexibility while also addressing a wide range of issues reported by the community. What’s NewLightroom Classic v15.5 introduces enhanced masking capabilities with new Feather and Edge controls, giving you finer control over photo masks and more creative editing possibilities. Cropping workflows are also improved with the ability to temporarily adjust photo opacity, making it easier to see cropped-out areas and accurately frame your images.For photographers who want a fresh starting point after extensive edits, the new Render to DNG option allows you to save a rendered DNG file with all current edits permanently applied. This creates a non-raw version of your ima
The June 2026 update to Lightroom Classic (v15.4) adds a new Faces panel for people-focused culling, automatic duplicate detection, keyword sync across the Lightroom ecosystem, and more precise subject selection when masking. These updates help photographers handle large shoots and organize catalogs with less manual effort. What’s NewLightroom Classic v15.4 is built to help you move through large shoots with more speed and confidence. The new Faces panel in Assisted Culling brings a people-first approach to selection, surfacing Eye Focus and Eyes Open scores so you can instantly identify your best frames. New auto duplicate detection scans your catalog for exact matches and neatly groups them into stacks, making cleanup far less manual. Masking also gets a boost with more precise subject detection, helping you separate subjects from complex backgrounds with cleaner, faster results.On the organization side, AI-powered metadata filters and Smart Collections make it easier to sort, find,
When presented with a New Post screen in the Adobe Community, you are given three options for Conversation Type: Discussion, Bug, and Idea. If you were searching in Discussions, the New Post window will default to Discussions. If you are searching in Bugs, the New Post window will default to Bugs and likewise for Ideas. Many customers instinctually report problems they are experiencing as “Bugs”. It is natural to think that a problem you are having might be a bug. A bug is defined, for our purposes, as “something in the software that is not functioning as it was designed to function”. Interpreting whether a behavior is a bug or not is not always easy, however. Here are some reasons why you might want to consider posting first to Discussions rather than jumping straight to reporting in Bugs: Most items reported as Bugs are not actual bugs. In a typical group of reported bugs, only about 3 out of 25* bugs reported turn out to be actual bugs. Of those, typically 2 ou
Bugs should only be reported for the latest or current version of Lightroom Classic. If you believe you have a bug, it must be verified on the latest version of Classic. New bug reports will not be accepted for older versions of the software. If you believe you have encountered a bug, it is important to first search the existing bugs to see if your issue and a possible solution or workaround have already been reported. If so, please add to that thread. If not, it may be prudent to start a new thread.Greater than 90% of the bugs reported are not actually bugs. Before starting a new thread, please read:P: Do I post in Discussions or Bugs? When logging a new bug report, it's required by the Lightroom Classic team for the information in the report to include steps to reproduce the bug experience. Once we can reproduce an issue, then we can start to investigate a fix. Bug reports without reproduction steps will be moved to discussions.If, after some troubleshooti
Adobe is excited to receive requests for additional features you need to enhance your workflow. What can you do to increase the chances of being heard? Don't use the words "Feature Request" in your post's title. Search for and add to existing feature requests rather than creating duplicates. There is no advantage to creating a second request for any existing feature request. One request per thread!When creating an Idea or Feature Request thread, please keep requests for features to ONE request per thread. Doing this will allow others to vote on a single, specific feature and not confuse Upvotes amongst a list of feature requests. If an Idea thread has multiple requests in it, a moderator may ask you to split the multiple requests up into multiple threads so others can vote. In the event there remain multiple requests on a thread, the first item requested will be the arbiter of where the thread will be cross-referenced or merged. Describe how the featu
I’d like the option to display flags (Pick/Reject) and star ratings while using Full Screen / Lights Out mode in Lightroom Classic. Right now, pressing F disables the "I" key info overlay, which prevents seeing critical culling information while viewing images distraction-free. Suggested enhancement: Allow the "I" key (or a preference toggle) to show flags and star ratings in Full Screen mode, similar to how it works in Loupe view. This would significantly improve culling and review workflows by combining a clean viewing experience with essential rating visibility.
4 x 6 inch photo printing in lightroom classic not centered when i reduce the size to passport photo. it will print it all the way to the end towards the left side. But if i print the full size instead of reducing it, theres no problem at all.
It works fine for a few days and then won’t open. Task Manager says it is running but I see nothing. What gives?I should mention my catalog is huge … don’t know if that has anything to do with it.
I updated to LrC 15.5 a few hours ago. Since then LrC has problems with video files. The first problem I noticed was that when I tried to synchronize a folder that had two new video files. After a couple of minutes I got the error message “An unknown error occurred while reading the video file. (2)”. I had just completed those files with DaVinci Resolve so I went back and produced the same files again to check if DR had made an error. When I tried again with the new files but got the same errors. I was able to play both videos without any issue using VLC Media Player, so they seem to be OK. I then shutdown LrC and did a backup including optimizing the catalog, and then restarted it to see if that made any difference, but same error. Then I started looking at other videos that were already in LrC and found that when browsing them in the Library module, most of them pop up a message “There was an error working with the video”. They will not play in LrC but work fine with VLC Med
This post applies to Lightroom Classic and the Lightroom Ecosystem products. Camera Raw feedback can be found here. Generative Remove makes it easier to remove unwanted objects and distractions with a simple gesture, even on complex backgrounds. For more accurate results, be sure to include the object's shadow in your selection and/or expand its size. Detect Objects uses AI to find the objects underneath a brushed area. The masked areas will now appear larger than the Early Access version of this feature. You can also circle objects for quicker selection now. We have also updated the spot selection experience to make it easier to manage variations, switch the fill type, refine the selection area, or re-generate as needed. Batch updating is also now supported for Generative Remove spots. Try out the latest updates and share your feedback with us here. Please also include the following details in your post: App versi
Nach dem Verschieben und Umbenennen von Ordnern außerhalb von Lightroom Classic zeigt der Ordnerbereich dauerhaft „Unterordner fehlt/fehlen“, obwohl laut Lightroom keine Fotos fehlen.

Adobe Lightroom 15.4.1 is crashing repeatedly during the culling process and causing my pc computer to run terrible slow. I had to remove it and roll back to a previous version of LRC
Problem: When I export more than 11 photos, my computer will be slowed down significantly. This might not be a problem, when I export just one folder, but in order to separate photos from an event of different people, I need to start several export processes and also have to wait for them to finish. Additionally, I cannot work on anything else. I usually have a lot of photos around 20.000 to 60.000 in one catalog. They are distributed/organized in several folder by date and by events. My usual process is to import all my photos, sort them, discard them, edit every photo, export those in different folders. An export of around 1000 photos (32MP) can take around 1/2 hour up to 1 hour easily. I want my computer to work on them, when I don't use it. I have a decent computer (AMD Threadripper 24 cores, 64GB RAM, NVMe SSD 2T, NVIDIA Geforce RTX 2060 Super), which needs to work on 45MP Photos in RAW. What I need and probably other users as well: I need to queue an export

Hola;Es mi primer post, he estado indagando por la comunidad, y no he acabado de encontrar la solución.Uso LRC en un MacBook Pro y en varias ventanas de ajuste tengo problemas de redimensionar (salen cortadas). Me di cuenta en la de ajustes de mascara (adjunto captura), pero repasando algunas otras secciones como Ojos Rojos, Recorte… también tengo el mismo problema (adjunto capturas)He probado en modo pantalla completa y nada, se queda igual.Alguien sabe como solucionarlo? Es muy molesto no poder trabajar bien.Muchas gracias.
Why don't you help us out and incorporate logic inside of Lightroom “auto” to disable vibrance and saturation adjustment on profiles other than your native profiles like Adobe Color and Adobe Standard. It was designed to work only with your color matrices.

Tethering with my Canon EOS R6 Mark III is still not working in Lightroom Classic 15.5, despite Adobe stating that the Canon tethering issue had been fixed.In fact, the situation is now worse than it was in Lightroom Classic 15.4. With 15.4, I could at least see the camera's Live View. In 15.5, I get nothing. Lightroom can see and display my camera settings, but I cannot actually use tethering or control the camera from Lightroom.I have already ruled out the camera and cable as the cause:The camera firmware is fully up to date. Canon EOS Utility recognizes the camera and works correctly. The USB tethering cable is working properly. The camera itself is therefore clearly communicating with the computer.I also tried using the SDK option, but in that case Lightroom Classic does not recognize the camera at all.So, despite the release notes indicating that the Canon tethering bug was fixed, the Canon R6 Mark III is still effectively unusable for tethered shooting in Lightroom Classic 15.5 —
I just reinstalled LRC 15.5 on iMac 27” 2019:sequoia 15.7.9, 64GB RAMI get the permissions problem which is normally resolved by granting full disk access, but this message is followed by several others each specifying the folder to which it cannot write; this despite full disk access being granted. Ive tried restarting as well. I don't dare use it in case the back ups might be corrupted. It DOES open though.Ive not had tis many messages before-whats going? also when I try to access preferences I get another error message of the same ilk
Why don't you help us out and incorporate logic inside of Lightroom “auto” to disable vibrance and saturation adjustment on profiles other than your native profiles like Adobe Color and Adobe Standard. The vibrance and saturation adjustment for “auto” was designed to work only with the color matrices of your native profiles. This may not seem like a big deal to you but you try having to click a preset that sets vibrance and saturation to 0 1500 times. No this is not something I do this is something every single one of your users does that's using a camera matching profile or calibrated profile other than your native profiles. Over and over and over and over and over and over again thousands of times. Thank you!
I was asked if I could help a Mac user of LrC resolve a problem, but being a Windows user, I have been unable to help.Whenever they run LrC inDevelop, this cache location rapidly consumes their hard drive storage:/Users/[username]/Library/Caches/com.adobe.LightroomClassicCC7/com.apple.e5rt.e5bundlecacheIn the user’s own words: ‘Issue: A cache folder grows continuously while Lightroom Classic is open in the Develop module, eventually consuming almost the entire SSD. The problem has been so bad for months, this user is about to ditch LrC forever.
I use Lightroom Classic for high-volume professional photography and regularly cull several thousand images in a session.My workflow is to remain in the Develop module with the Crop tool permanently active. I move rapidly through images using the Filmstrip, adjusting the crop where required before moving immediately to the next image.I use Lightroom's Secondary Display on a calibrated 27" monitor, which displays the current image full-screen. This means the large central image area in Develop on my MacBook is largely redundant, what I actually need on the primary display is the Develop controls and a much larger thumbnail Filmstrip.Currently the Filmstrip can only be dragged upwards to a fairly restrictive maximum height.It would be extremely useful if Lightroom allowed the Filmstrip to be resized much further, or offered a Develop workspace consisting primarily of a large thumbnail browser plus Develop controls when Secondary Display is active.As a real-world example, my normal workfl
When I attempt to synch new photos from my collection I get "synch error:. I have the collections set up to synch. I have paused synching in LrC, restarted my Win11 PC, restarted LrC but I still receive the same error. What other troubleshooting steps should I try?
In library, I hit R to open crop tool in Develop. But this opens crop overlay, with the Zoom tool, not the crop tool. Hitting R again (closes crop ), then R again, will open crop overlay with the crop tool.The in the Right-hand panel the Crop section is greyed out too.
