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
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
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
Hello, Can somebody help me with this. In the beginning, with several thousand photos, I entered keywords without commas, separating the keywords with spaces. In preferences - interface were set to "separate keywords with comma." Now, when exporting to platforms like SmugMug, these photos appear with a bunch of keywords that aren't separated from one another. Is there a way to fix this for multiple photos at once? I tried changing in preference - interface to "separate keywords with space," but that didn't work for existing photos; for new ones, it separates the keywords with commas. I tried adding new keywords to multiple photos, but it separated the newly added ones with a comma, whereas the previous keywords were not.Many thanks, Robert
Since updating to Lightroom Classic 15, the behavior of the Crop tool when drawing a new crop box with the mouse has changed.I am a high-volume photographer and process around 50,000 photos per year, often in batches of 1,000–3,000 images. For many years, my workflow has been to press R and immediately draw a completely new crop box with the mouse. I do not resize the existing crop by dragging its corners.Previously, when working on a portrait image with a locked aspect ratio (for example 2:3 / As Shot), I could simply start dragging a tall, narrow rectangle and Lightroom would immediately recognize that I wanted a portrait-oriented crop.Now, when I start drawing a new crop box, Lightroom keeps the crop in landscape orientation. It only switches to portrait orientation after I drag the mouse a very long distance vertically. In many cases I have to drag almost to the bottom edge of my screen before it finally switches from landscape to portrait. When the area I want to crop is relativel
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
I am working on scanning all our shoe boxes with photos, I am currently up to 9,184 images (still scanning more boxes). Since these are mostly family photos this seemed like a good project to try the People feature on. After spending multiple hours assigning names, I have 3,250 faces in the Confirmed collection and 10,733 remaining as Unnamed People. At this point (about 23%) I seem to have reached the point where the face matching algorithm (Find Similar Faces) is producing mostly incorrect matches. I don't know how old the face matching algortithm is - I would hope that there is room for improvement. Thus, I would like to suggest that the algorithm for this be updated using the latest AI technology. Version of the app:13.2Platform and OS version: Windows 11 Pro - 23H2 Thanks, Adriaan Sachtler
I think this would be an enormous help for people who work with stock photo agencies. From what I read, most photographers already use this feature, but through third-party software. I should add that, unfortunately, I also use external software to caption my editorial photos. Why should I, when it would be no problem for you to integrate it?
Ao selecionar qualquer slide das ferramentas Básico ou Transformação, o slide simplesmente se move sozinho para o "início", por exemplo: se você ajusta o balanço de branco (WB) em 5500K, ao selecionar o slide e "zera" sozinho para 2000K, isso ocorre em todas os slides da ferramenta Básico, bem como, nos slides "deslocamento X", "deslocamento Y", da ferramenta Transformação. O slide antes da atualização se movia com base no ponto de referencia já estabelecido, regredindo ou progredindo a medida que o slide era movido para esquerda ou para direita, agora, apenas ao selecioná-lo, ele se move automaticamente para o mínimo da esquerda, sendo necessário um movimento não natural para chegar ao ponto ideal.

@Anshul_Saini I am still experiencing this on 15.6.I have Assisted Culling enabled on my library, there are ~120k images left to process. Memory is not being released, and Lightroom will keep eating it until it crashes. There is no reason why it would need in excess of 20GB to process a queue.
I want to opem this as a bug but unlike posting a question when I am prompted to click continue to provide more details I get a blank page independent of what browser I am using. Here is my bug discrption. Can anyone help me create this as a bug? Using latest version of Lightroom Classic on Mac running macOS Tahoe Version 26.6.2. The profile browser (in grid mode) displays only a subset of the profiles that are part of the profile. If I expand the width of the browser I can get to a point where all profiles of a profile group are displayed but the view is messed up. Generally, it will show 3 thumbnails in a row with the last one only partially visible. If I chose this third thumbnail the row is then moved all the way to the righty so much that I can no longer see many of the profile names. I did a reset preferences of LR but the problem persists.
The panel scroll bar and close panel bar arrow section are annoyingly close together. On a 4K monitor (and possibly lower resolutions) the panel scroll bar is so thin that it's easy to press the close button instead. This is frustrating when trying to select the appropriate tool and you just keep closing/unclosing the panels. Is it possible to either increase the size of the scroll bar, be able to lock the panel in place or a mix of the two. Cheers,
Hi, I am using Lightroom to stamp my photos. I am a event photographer and since now I 've been using other software to stamp my pics but I want to turn in lightroom. The problem I have is that it does not support (as far as I have searched and found) multiple watermarks. I need one watermark for my logo and one for the event organiser I photoshoot. So we have two png images. What I did for the first time is I exported the images with my logo and then load them again and export them with the event organiser's logo. I don't really like the proccess. How can I export in just one time both logos?cheers..!
On my Mac (27.01) on Friday 10/7/2026, Lightroom Classic updated to version 15.6. Prior to the update, my folders looked like this in the Library module:After the update, they looked like this:Now only images from the last import are accessible (import was completed several days before the update). All other folders show the number of images, but will not display any image thumbnails or previews. How can I solve this? For additional info, this is a screenprint of the actual folder structure on disk:
Provo a segnalare un bug, ma la pagina dove scrivere la domanda resta bianca, non si carica. Allora provo a postarlo come domanda. Ho un problema con lightroom classic per cui quando sincronizzo un’impostazione base a delle foto, nel mio caso sono 400, ciò mi resetta tutte le altre impostazioni a zero, e non in tutte le foto: quelle vicine alla foto da sincronizzare ricevono l’impostazione mantenendo le altre regolazioni, da una certa foto in poi vengono resettate. Non so se ho reso l’idea. Così facendo dovrei modificare a mano 400 foto senza poter fare un lavoro più facilitato. Come si può fare? Ho win 10, lightroom ultima versione. Grazie!
I upgraded from iPhone 14 Pro Max to 17 Pro Max. For some reason when I put my photos taken with the new iPhone through Lightroom (mobile version) to export them as sRGB for socials they come out much darker in exposure. This happens to all of the photos. I tried again my old photos taken with the 14 Pro Max and I don't have this issue. How do I fix this and what is going on? This is driving me insane. Thank you very much!
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?
I use Windows 11
When using the color grading panel the numerical fields for the Hue and Sat input behave erratically. When moving the Hue slider sometimes the last digit disappears. This happens with single Color Wheel interface. So instead if displaying 235 the field displays 23. It shows this behavior with various value: 231 shows 231, but 220 shows 22. You can check this when displaying all 3 color wheels simultaneously. The hue values in both image is 235.Lightroom classic is showing this behavior since the last update, 15.6 release. This seems like a bug. I have tried resetting everything to the default settings but that doesn't make any difference.When I edit the same photo in Photoshop Camera Raw, Color Grading behaves as expected.
Letters in texts added in books in Book module are rotated in LrC 15.3. The rotation seems to happen per line as displayed (not per carriage return). Switching back to 15.2.1 put the letters correctly again, and upgrading to 15.3 rotates the letters.Attached two screenshots of the same page in a book in 15.2.1 and 15.3.15.2.115.3The letters are also rotated for a new book created in 15.3.
So I don’t use lightroom for anything that graphics intensive. It’s main purpose as far as I am concerned is to embed keywords into the files. But When I tried exporting an image, it turned my desktop black. I am sure this is probably indicative of a much bigger problem because who cares about lack of wallpaper on a desktop. Anyway, I googled that it was probably something to do with incompatibility with drivers or not having the latest version of lightroom. [BTW, I turned off auto updates because the updates always ruin everything and make everything unusable with all this AI bloatware… but I digress]. This time, I updated lightroom and it still happened.Is this reallyl a thing. And do I need to permanently turn off graphics card acceleration? Really? It keeps nagging me to turn it on too.I have the latest Nvidia driver from the Windows update site [or Dell or whatever it is]. No, I did not download the latest Studio driver from Nvidia’s website via their dedicated app because it seem
