Lightroom Classic

Hello,Recently I bought a Windows 11 laptop specifically for using Lightroom and Photoshop. It's not state of the art high end, but the specifications made me think it would be enough to use Lightroom in a way that would be fast enough for me and my camera (Canon R5 MK2):13th Gen Intel Core i7-13700H 2.4ghz32 GB RAMGeForce RTX 40501TB SSDI have only been using it for 2 months and my catalog is very new and small.However: when starting up LR classic the welcome screen shows up shortly and then the screen stays grey for over 30 seconds. After that it takes another 20 seconds to build up all windows of the app and finally show the picture that was open when I closed it. Is it normal that it takes almost a minute to start up on a laptop like this?After that it's still quite laggy and it all feels like I'm running an old computer.When I check my Task Manager while starting up, the processor performance has a very little spike at clicking the LR button and after that it stays at around 6% fo

Dear community, Today as often clickedon the LR shortcut towork on my photo but instead of launching normaly, I had the "Adobe Phtoshop Lightroom 6 Sign In " pop up. Than it directly goes to the Phtoshop Lightroom 6 Trial window. I click on License this software, put my Serial Number (bought in 2017) click on "Next" but instead of going to the next step, it reload the "Adobe Phtoshop Lightroom 6 Sign In " pop up. Did not try to uninstall the software as I am not sure it will help and not sure I won t loose my catalog. Any clue, on what happened?

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?

Don’t have access to old computer. Any work around with this. Its Lightroom 6. 

This post applies to Camera Raw and Lightroom Classic.   Dust Removal is no longer in Early Access status and can be found in the Remove edit panel for Camera Raw & Lightroom Classic. Dust Removal helps with removing distracting spots on an image that may be caused by dust on a camera's sensor.   Once enabled, your image will be scanned, and any detected dust spots will be automatically removed using Content-Aware Remove. For refinement, you can select one or multiple spots to delete or refresh. Batch removal is also supported; simply select the "Dust" checkbox under "Remove" in the copy settings dialog.Please note that scanned negatives are not in the scope of this feature at this time.    Dust spots on scans tend to be located in the focal plane, with the negative and very sharp, while sensor dust is typically positioned out of the focal plane and therefore not in focus. Scanned negative dust typically appears as white spots on a darker backgro

For example, if I have 40 photos on my SD card but only want to import 10, which setting in the Lightroom Import window allows me to filter the view so that only the selected photos are shown, hiding the remaining 30?

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

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.

I took a photograph of people riding on a bus, from the outside of the bus. As expected, there are window reflections on it. I tried to remove the reflections in LRC but it did not remove any of them. Moving the slider to -100 shows a black image, indicating LRC did not find reflections. I opened the same image in Camera Raw, and there the reflections were mostly removed. Moving the slider to -100 shows what Camera Raw detected as reflections. I don’t understand what is going on. Can you help? I am including relevant screen shots: Original Image, LRC 100 Removal, LRC -100 Removal, CR 100 Removal, CR -100 RemovalOriginal ImageLRC 100 RemovalLRC -100 RemovalCamera Raw 100 RemovalCamera Raw -100 RemovalMy system info:Lightroom Classic version: 15.1 [ 202512101606-1bb801a8 ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: en-USOperating system: Mac OS 26Version: 26.2.0 [25C56]Application architecture: arm64Logical processor count: 10Processor speed: NASqLite Version: 3.36.0Adobe GSDK Version: 1.4.

I can still print from Photoshop to the Epson 3880 as usual and from other non-Lightroom programs, but not from Lightroom.. I am running Windows 11 and LIghtroom 15.1., build 202601141538-a543b18a.. When I try to print to the Epson printer from Lightroom, the printing dialog box come up, but there is no spooling and it seems to abort prematurely. I reloaded the 3880 drivers, but no change. Would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.

This was a thread that Mr Flohr had acknowledge matched an internal bug, but now it’s completely gone. Adobe released a bug fix update this month yet the bug remains. So I don’t know what is going on here but it’s pretty frustrating and insulting.  Even with “Analyze photos of selected source...” disabled in catalog settings, and with the AI-assisted culling panel hidden, the message “Enable AI Analysis in Catalog Settings to use Assisted Culling” appears ON TOP OF THE CURRENT PHOTO while in develop mode. Obviously if you use Lightroom as your primary professional editing software, having a message appear ON TOP OF THE PHOTO which, when dismissed, simply reappears often after only a few seconds, is not ideal. This happens most frequently when command-L is used to enable and disable filtering. I’m on the most-recent version of lightroom and the most-recent update of macos Sequoia. I am not going to waste my time deleting settings, reinstalling, disabling plugins, all of that stuff - I h

J’ai posé une question il y a plusieurs semaines sur le thème [Lightroom Classic Discussions] Re: problèmes récurrents de synchronisation impossible à diagnostiquer. Je n’arrive pas à la retrouver dans la nouvelle communauté, et les liens contenus dans les notifications ne débouchent sur rien. Je veux reprendre la discussion et qu’on trouve enfin une réponse à mon problème !une personne Anshul_Saini m’avait demandé de lui envoyer par message privé un gros fichier de diagnostic. Il m’en a fait un accusé de réception, depuis plus rien. comment retrouver les messages enoyés et reçus ?Comment peut-on avancer ? je suis las de la complexité du fonctionnement de ce forum.

I am trying to start Lightroom Classic and I am getting this errorLightroom.exe System error The code execution cannot proceed because mfc140u.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem.I have uninstalled and reinstall and still getting the same error

Yesterday I took my first photos with my Sony Alpha 7 V, and before importing them into Lightroom, the images still looked normal—just as I had seen them in the camera. After the import, I noticed blue clipping. I then opened the image in Sony’s Image Edge software, and the RAW files do not show this clipping there. I’ve attached a screenshot—one from the Sony program and one from Lightroom using the beta profile. Could I have overlooked some setting, or could this actually be caused by the beta profile?On the left side, the image is opened as a RAW file in Image Edge, and on the right side is the latest version of Lightroom using the beta profile. Both images are unedited.Node: These are Not Highlight/Shadow clippings. Its the Harsh Blue thats overlaping and somehow not showing correctly.Node2: The Raw File when looking at it in the Sony A7V is looking fine colourwise! 

I don't know how this works.  I need to talk to someone!!!  This kind of support is awful!!!   Apparently Adobe no longer wants to talk to anyone and doesn't want anyone to report bugs.   I'm running LR Classic version 14.3.1.  I moved some photos from one directory (folder) to another.  That worked.  But now when I try to rate them with stars, for example pressing "3" for 3 stars, it complains that metadata is corrupted with the little exclaimation mark in upper right corner of thumbnail.  It has options to repair (like copy from disk), and none work.  The only work around I found is to remove from LR,  delete the sidecar file, import back into LR, and edit it again in the new directory.    I did not have this bug until I upgraded from a previous version to 14.x couple months ago.  I ran into this bug a in earlier version of 14.x, but couldn't figure out what happened, so upgraded to 14.3.1 and same bug.  I need to

I have made many Blurb books over the past (10?) years or so but recently the quality of the books has become really bad. I’m constantly having to contact their customer service to have books reprinted because of errors (like lines, misaligned color plates, dark images (same file on cover printing a stop darker than in interior of book, second printing of books completely different color to first “test” printing etc) or even just the books getting crushed in their packaging before they get to me?Why does adobe continue the relationship with such bad quality? Does anyone have any recommendations for other book printing services? (I have used MILK in NZ who are really good but very expensive)?

After clean install of Win11 and reinstall of LRC and Photoshop, the icon for .XMP file is gone. Not a very big problem, but I was used to that icon, and find it a little confusing with both .XMP and .acr showing just blank sheets. Any solution?
