Lightroom Classic

My experience with LR sync has has been very disappointing. I have LR on my 13Pro set up to import every photo from the camera roll. I see the DNGs in the LR app on my phone. After a short time they will appear on my iPad. But to see them in LR Classic on my desktop (mac) can be any where from a few minutes (not usually) to a couple of hours (more likely). For instance I shot 3 images (DNG) at noon this morning and 9 hours later they are still not synced to Classic.In the past I've quit and reopened LR, paused and restarted Sync, and I've also deleted all Sync data. Sometimes these actions work, sometimes not.All I want is to have what I shoot on my phone apear on my desktop and I have no clue at this point how to have that consistently happen. MacOS 12.7.2/LR Classic 13.1

When I upload to Blurb from LRc 15.2, random photos will have horizontal blue-green lines running through them...if I upload again, different photos will have the lines...I’ve checked my fonts and padding (none) and can’t fine any apparent issues with any photos...how can I fix this?

Every time I try to remove something using generative AI on Lightroom Classic, I suddenly now get “!Generative Remove Failed. Something went wrong. Please Try again”I have restarted Lightroom, and my computer. Logged out and back in.This worked before, and this suddenly started happening.

My system info is included below.I am frequently in the position where I am happily using Lightroom and then suddenly everything in Develop starts to run at a snails pace. The Lightroom CPU load is constantly running at 20-30% even when I am doing nothing at all. Restarting Lightroom will return things to normal for a few minutes and then I am back where I started. I have even exported a subset of images to a new catalog and the same thing is happening.Application and catalog are both on an NVME SSD which is only 50% full. I have disabled the majority of plugins. Nvidia Studio drivers are up to date. Lightroom and Camera Raw are up to date.The system is clearly powerful enough to smoothly run Lightroom…..until it isn’t, which is driving me crazy. SYSTEM INFO Lightroom Classic version: 15.2 [ 202602111402-ec4112e8 ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: enOperating system: Windows 11 - Business EditionVersion: 11.0.26200Application architecture: x64System architecture: x64Logical proc

My latest photoshoot was a LipSync competition shot o my Nikon Z8 for some of the images as soon as i select to develop the image is covered in streaks of colour and I cannot remove them!!  

Invoking the Library Filter bar’s Restore Default Presets creates duplicates of the built-in filter presets.   To reproduce in LR 15.2 / Mac OS 26.2: 1. Set the option Preferences > Presets > Store Presets With This Catalog. 2. Open the attached catalog “filter-presets-bug”. 3. In the Library Filter bar, click the drop-down menu and do Restore Default Presets. Observe that the built-in presets Default Columns, Filters Off, and Location Columns have been duplicated.  Examining those presets’ .lrtemplate files, the contents of the duplicates are identical. Before and after of the drop-down menu: 

The locked photo stops me from doing anything with LRC.

I can no longer start Creative Cloud, InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator on my Mac OS Tahoe 26.3.1 on Mac M1. Indesign and Photoshop were fine just days ago and now nothing opens and I do alot of work on Adobe!!! What am I to do?

This post applies to Lightroom Classic and Lightroom Desktop.  Feedback for Camera Raw should be posted here.   Update February 2025:Adobe has introduced two Adaptive Profiles – Adaptive Color & Adaptive B&W.   Getting started with the Adaptive Profiles:  Access a profile inside the profile favorites menu.  In addition, there is a new section for Adaptive Profiles in the Profiles browser.  Enable the profile and adjust the ‘Amount’ slider as desired.  Use the rest of the Camera Raw tools just like you would otherwise.  Check out the Help Page for more detailed usage information. For more technical information on the underlying technology, please refer to this blog post.    Please try the profiles and share feedback in this community forum thread. It would help to include details like how you access Camera Raw (via Adobe Bridge or Photoshop), your computer system details, and as much information as possible about

The update to the Generative Remove AI model in Lightroom Classic 14.5 has ruined it, as it now changes elements outside the painted mask, making it more or less unusable in many situations.

Typing into the year field in the Edit Capture Time dialog is too fussy, making it difficult for people who are slow typists (hunt-and-peck or disabled) to enter the year. If you type just a little slowly, then after 1-3 digits, the dialog thinks you've finished entering a year, and the next digit you type will erase the previous ones. Screen recording: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ks09r4f5847zwx0/capture-time-digits.2019.04.05.mov?dl=0A perhaps related problem was reported fixed back in 2015.4, though it had somewhat different symptoms. Another user just wasted a bunch of time tripping over this:https://forums.adobe.com/message/11010712#11010712The fix should be trivial: the timeout for entering digits just needs to be increased a fair bit.Tested on LR 8.2 / Mac OS 10.14.3.

I see my biggest space suck of almost 500GB are these LR_Master Catalog-v3-……. Previews.lrdataCan I safely get rid of the older ones, say 2024 and older?   

I am having issues using the Generative AI features of both Lightroom Classic and Photoshop.When I try to remove anything from my image using the Remove tool with Generative AI box checked in the Lightroom Classic, it never works. This problem started to happen a few weeks ago. The error dialog does not show anything about internet (as many people had before and posted in this community). The error is the one attached.The same problem happens when I try to remove or generate anything in Photoshop. I also attached the snapshot of the photoshop problem.Something might be wrong with the server of Adobe, because another symptoms are appearing to me, for example, the Catalog stopped to sync. It shows the loading circle but it never finishes. Another example, I am unable to load my plans or public profile using Chrome. It shows "Unable to load data" for almost any tab of my Adobe Account.For more info on the system, I am using a Mac M1 with macOs Sonoma 14.7, the Lightroom Classic is 13.5.1

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

I've connected my Canon EOS 6D Mark II to Lightroom Classic via Tethered Capture mode. Everything seems to be working fine i.e. camera is recognised by lightroom, I see view from my camera in Lightroom GUI, trigger is responsive, I can take a picture with GUI trigger etc. The only issue is that pictures are not saved in the destination folder. They are only saved in the Camera's SD card. The same functionality works in EOS Utility software then something must be wrong with Lightroom Classic itself. I’ve tried removing SD card, changing destination folder, changing format to jpeg only, virtually everything I could find online. There is nothing in camera settings that I wouldnt have tried. Would you be able to help please?

I used the map module before, but the map module hasn't been displaying images for a while now.More specifically: flags are not visible on the map

After upgrading Adobe Lightroom Classic to version 15.2, selecting or switching between photos in the Develop module is still laggy.When I move to the next photo (using arrow keys or clicking another image), there is a noticeable delay before the image loads. This makes editing slower than before.My system: Mac (Apple Silicon) M2 Max macOS Sequoia 15.7.3 Has this issue been fixed in version 15.2, or are there any recommended settings to improve performance in the Develop module?Any suggestions would be appreciated.
