Lightroom Classic

Assisted Culling is now generally available in Lightroom ClassicTL; DR: Assisted Culling has graduated from Early Access to General Availability. It gives you a fast, reviewable first pass on large shoots: it surfaces your strongest frames and sets aside the obvious rejects, so you spend less time comparing near-duplicates. You stay in control: review everything, adjust the thresholds, and override any call. If you tried it back in October 2025, it's substantially more accurate now, especially for wedding, event, group, and portrait work. We'd love for you to give it another look and tell us what you think in this thread.  What it does Open an album or collection, run a cull, and Assisted Culling analyzes your images against the criteria you choose: Subject Sharpness, Eye Sharpness, Eyes Open, exposure, and more. It marks Selects and Rejects, shows you why behind every call, and leaves the final decision to you. How far it's come since Early Access  February 2026: Expanded from individ

When I want to skip through hundreds or thousands of photos in Lightroom Classic (Version 15.0.1) in the film strip I mostly get this very annoying problem: after holding the arrow key to the right or left for a few seconds it doesn't stop anymore to speed through the images though I'm no more holding the arrow key. Sometimes it's going on for "just" a couple of hundred further photos and sometimes even through thousands of photos until the very last photo in the strip. I can't even stop it.This first started three months ago when I updated on a new MacBook. On my old Macbook this never happened in years. Does someone got an Idea to fix this bug?

On MacOS the Lightroom Classic Rendering Area appears to show a non-Retina rendering on a Retina screen. The pictures looks pixelated and so does the brush. Every other UI Element has its normal retina sharpness.Please pay attention to the guitar strings. You can clearly differentiate the pixels. Also the brush shows jagged pixels on the lines.The issue appeared with an update in 2025 and has never been fixed since. 

When importing images (I shoot Nikon D800 and D850 with Nikon lenses), lightroom will not identify the lens correctly.  The import shows up as a generic lens:import will be 24.0-120.0 mm f/40 Correct is:Nikon AF-S Nikkor 24-120mm f/4G ED VRThere are a small amount of images that have the correct information in the catalog.  If I look at the EXIF data from a sample of two files, one that is correct and one with the generic name, both have the correct information.  HOWEVER, comparing the xmp files is not.  The DSC_9863.xmp file is the one that works and the DSC_9729.xmp is the one that is the generic name. This has been a pain in my backside for a LONG time and I hope someone has some suggestions. 

System info:Lightroom Classic 15.4.1 macOS Tahoe 26.5.2 (also tested on 26.5.1) Apple M1 Max, internal SSD Catalog was recently migrated during a Lightroom update (Catalog-v13 to Catalog-v13-3)The problem:After a recent Lightroom update triggered a catalog migration, the app now hangs indefinitely on the "Reading Preferences" splash screen every time I launch it. This happens 100% of the time in my main user account, on every attempt.What I've already ruled out:Deleted a leftover .lock file next to the catalog Fully reset Lightroom preferences (Shift+Option launch) Manually deleted com.adobe.LightroomClassicCC7.plist Removed all third party plugins from the Modules folder Fully wiped the entire ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/ folder (not just the Lightroom subfolder) Deleted all Adobe related entries from Keychain Access (Adobe Lightroom, Adobe.APS, Adobe Lightroom CC, Creative Cloud entries) Disabled and quit a third party malware scanner (CleanMyMac) that had background real tim

This is core to my workflow, an absolutely necessary feature I use every single time I’m editing photos. In the Develop Module, under let’s say the “Basic” adjustments panel, one should be able to adjust values (such as Exposure, Contrast, Highlights, Shadows, Whites, Blacks, etc.) while hovering the mouse cursor over a section of the photo (in the Loupe View) and see RGB values changing under the histogram.In the latest version, the RGB values are no longer displayed under the histogram while those values are being adjusted. For example, I click the number next to the ‘Highlights’ slider and move my cursor over to a white part of the image. When I press the up arrow on my keyboard to increase the value of that number, the RGB values under the histogram *should* be displayed and also increasing. Instead, they are not displayed at all.I have downgraded to the previous version and the program’s behavior returns to expected. This is a brand new computer, fresh win 11, AMD Ryzen 7 7700X; 3

I am trying to make a print to fit the dimensions of a mat I have already cut. In Page Setup I set the paper for 13 x 19 Landscape, and set the Cell Size in Print module at 9.3 x 13.32, which is slightly larger than the mat opening. However the finished print measures slightly under 9 x 13. I am printing to an Epson ET-8550 printer. I have been printing lots of 7.5” x 10” prints on 8.5 x 11 paper and they come out the exact dimension as expected.

Lightroom Classic 15.4.1 on Windows 11 desktop PC with HDR display enabled. In Develop mode, DNG image is adjusted using AI Sky Mask to adjust hue of sky. Develop renders correctly and the exported image renders correctly. However Library Loupe and Library Full Screen regenerate a preview with a green fringe or halo in the sky along the sky/land boundary. When switching to Library you can observe Library displaying the previous preview, then the correct Develop render, then replacing it with the incorrect regenerated preview. Reproducible on a fresh HDR merge and on separate DNG files. The bug appears to be related to the setting on the exposure slider in masking, appearing with higher exposures and disappearing with lower exposures.

Bonjour, j'ai un problème dans Lightroom classic avec la création de mots clés. En mode grille, j'entre un mot clé, j'enregistre Pomme+S, je clique sur une autre image et quand je reviens, soit le mot clé apparait, soit il n'apparait pas, soit il apparait avec un astérisque. Je dois parfois effectuer 4 fois l’opération pour qu’elle soit correcte. Je devrais réinitialiser les préfs de LrC ? Merci

Is Adobe AI Denoise fully optimized for GoPro MISSION 1 PRO 50 MP GPR RAW files?I've been comparing 12 MP and 50 MP RAW files from the new GoPro MISSION 1 PRO.Without AI Denoise, the 50 MP RAW files look very good and preserve more detail and color than the 12 MP files.However, after applying Enhance > Denoise, the 50 MP files frequently develop visible artifacts, while the 12 MP RAW files remain clean and natural.Other users have reported similar behavior.Is this a known limitation of the current AI Denoise model with these new GPR files, or could this indicate a bug?Are there any plans to optimize AI Denoise for GoPro MISSION 1 PRO 50 MP RAW files in a future Camera Raw update?

tried different folders, always same result. Lots of space available on the drive.A technician did manage to resolve it 18 months ago but the fix only lasted a week.I think its something to do with Google drive as it used to try and back up to it.I also continually get this:When I export photos any AI based edits I’ve made frequently do not export so I have to do them again in the hope it works. Thak you for any help 

I’m on a MacBook Pro M5, system Tahoe 26.1 I just moved the LR catalog to an external drive.  The picture files were duplicated onto the same external drive.  When I open the catalog, it can’t find any pictures, so I show it where the local picture files are.  The pictures all show up, but the stacks are expanded and I the stacking submenu is greyed out.

Hola, tengo descargada la última versión 15.4.1 y cámara raw 18.4.1, hace tiempo q no entro en lightroom y ahora al entrar no me aparecen las fotos sino que cuadrados grises, lo tengo todo actualizado pero sigue igual. Necesito ayuda por favor 

I got this error after upgrade to LrC 15.0. Update 15.0.1 not fix this issue.   "Lightroom has encountered problems reading this photo. You will not be able to make adjustments to this photo."   My photos file are OK, restart LrC will able to edit again, but it will happen again sometimes after I sync the photo setting form one photo to another one.   OS is macOS 15.7.2.

I can’t import anything into Lightroom classic on version 15.4.1. On import the import box is not showing any photos at all. These are not duplicates photos.When I go to import I select a source and then I choose the folder nothing shows.I have tried restating Lightroom and my computer, trying different drives, nothing works. Lightroom isn’t seeing any images on my computer/ drives.  

I am wanting to edit some images in a particular folder in Lightroom.  When looking at the folder in File Explorer there are almost 100 image files in the particular folder.  However, Lightroom only sees 22 files.  I've selected the folder and tried both IMPORT and SYNCHRONIZE however nothing happens.How do I fix this?

SystemLightroom Classic 15.4.1 macOS 26.5.2 Intel Core i5 iMac AMD Radeon Pro 5300 (4GB VRAM) 72GB RAMIssueSince updating to Lightroom Classic 15.4.1, Generative Remove has become extremely slow. Even a very small brush stroke (for example removing a tiny newborn skin blemish) can take over 4 minutes to complete.The standard Remove tool works normally.Troubleshooting completedI have tested all of the following:New Lightroom catalogue. Existing catalogue. Catalogue stored on internal SSD. RAW files stored on external HDD. Camera Raw cache purged. Catalogue optimised. GPU enabled. GPU disabled. Lightroom restarted. Mac restarted. Different images.None of these resolved the issue.I also compared the exact same RAW file and edit on an Apple Silicon MacBook running the same Adobe account. Generative Remove completed much faster on the MacBook.Most important findingI installed Lightroom Classic 15.3.1 and repeated the same Generative Remove test on the same Intel iMac.Generative Remove is si

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

It just won’t open.

Just spend a little time udating font settings and give us more control how the boxes display in library side. Show us you still plan on keeping us around in 10 years. I know it’s the idea to get everything to the cloud but problem is us old timers and maybe so now new comers are figuring it out, we don’t want our personal images on the internet on someone else’s servers. Who knows what will happen and all it takes is a wind storm to disconnect you from your entire life’s collection. Not permanently, at least not so far but shows you how easy this would be to achieve. Keep it local and keep it personal. Let us know you care about LRC please. If there was a single option like Capture One that could handle a 300k library as efficient as LRC, I’d move over in an instant. You should think about that and make that decision a little more difficult because Capture One or someone WILL eventually catch up (I Hope). 

It’s not that the thumbnails are slow to display; they never display until they are selected.  Images are stored on an external drive.  The catalog is on the iMac SS.
