Lightroom Classic

OS: Windows 11LrC VERSION: 14.5A couple of days ago I upgrade to v14.5.As for every update, I regurlay empty cache, optimise catalog, remove all previews and generate new standard ones (also, I wanted to test how was was the new option to use GPU for generating previews).Never had a problem with this workflow.After previews generation process was completed (1h 30m for 29.000 files, 23.000 jpegs and 6.000 raws) I got an error: for 21 RAWs the preview could not be generated. Looking in the catalog at those files, I realised they have an exclamation mark on a dark circle: this is not the missing photo mark. If I click on the exclamation mark, I see error "Lightroom has encountered problems reading this photo, you are not allowed to edit this image. " Yet, I can still enter develop module and edit the photos without any problem: the editing history is there, I can zoom in at 100% (generating the 1:1 preview), I can change sliders, export... Everything... (PS: I do not use smart previe

Hi! so i realised my backup was on the same hard drive as the original file. (i have 2 internal harddrives, one just for photography) so i tried to do the right thing and set the backup up on the other hard drive. Oh man, its been a nightmare! I have googled and read til my eyes bleed! I get the permissions thing. more googling, and some guy says set up and everybody and give full access, in desperation i tried it but my pc did not like it!! I have read about it here too, but my system doesnt match! I’m not sure im understanding, is it permissions to my hard drives? or within lightroom? I am using windows 10, waiting for the 11 upgrade! all the threads i bring up are so old, that the stream of commands are not on my pc! where do i find these permissions please? for now i have simply copied the LRCAT file to my backup hard drive, but doing that every day is a pain!  I have tried to set up a  new catalogue as some seem to get that to work, but even though i know exactly where the catalog

Hi everyone,I’m experiencing an issue where the lens profile for my DJI Air 3S Wide Camera (Model: FC9113) does not appear in Lightroom Classic, even though the DNG files are supported in Camera Raw 17.1.My Setup:Lightroom Classic Version: 14.1 (with Camera Raw 17.1)Drone Model: DJI Air 3SCameras:DJI Air 3S Telephoto Camera (FC9184)DJI Air 3S Wide-Angle Camera (FC9113)The Problem:Missing Lens Profile:The FC9113 lens profile exists in the correct directory:makefileCode kopierenC:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfilesI can see the profile file named DJI FC9113 Adobe Standard.dcp in the folder, but it does not appear in the lens profile list in Lightroom Classic.Other Observations:The DJI Air 3S Telephoto Camera profile (FC9184) shows up correctly.The files are DNG format, and I have verified the metadata (Lens and Model are recognized as FC9113).Steps I Have Tried:Reinstalled Lightroom Classic and Camera Raw.Confirmed both are up-to-date (LrC 14.1 / ACR 17.1).Reset Lightroom preferenc

I just updated my LrC to v 12.4 this morning and now when I try to copy/paste settings in the develop tab to a new photo, the new photo is hazed out and flat looking. If I reset the settings and put them in manually, it looks correct, so it has to be an issue with the copy/paste. Please help this is slowing down my work flow tremendously.   PC, Windows 10

Hello,   Not sure this is a bug, but worth posting here to get your feedback.   My catalog contains about 400k images and videos. In the last months, its size increased a lot from about 7GB in Nov 2024 up to almost 39GB now; just before the upgrade to LrC v15. I ran the LrC upgrade this morning (7-8 hours ago). The software upgrade went well in a few minutes, with all other Adobe upgrades, then the catalog migration started. Since that time, I get the catalog upgrade message with no change since the beginning. See attached screenshot. It says "Not responding" since the beginning as well. I wxanted to understand what's going on, so I looked at the folder where my catalog is stored. The previous catalog v14 has been backued up in a separate folder "Old Lightroom Catalogs" that I then moved to a separate drive. I can also see a temporaryRepairedCatalogue.lrcat growing slowly, very slowly. Its size is now about 2GB. That's means the catalog upgrade is actually processing, bu

I am still trying to get LR Classic to work on new PC; every step is a new problem. I got my catalog onto C drive finally but now when opening get two error messages: “...issue with AI edits. Future edits may not be saved...” and more seriously, “lightroom encountered an error when reading from its previous cache and needs to quit.” I have tried everything online as to how to fix this and nothing changes. Any advanced ideas out there? Thanks.

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

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

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

Estou tendo problemas há mais ou menos 2 meses com o lightroom.Toda vez que crio um catalogo novo e importo arquivos para começar a editar, as Visualizações Iniciais travam e o programa não faz mais nada.Sempre preciso reiniciar ele para voltar ao normal.Já desinstalei e instalei novamente, porém o problema persiste. 

Hi, I’m using LR Classic (version 15.1.1 on MacOS) and was wondering if there’s a way in preferences or settings to turn off the Undo/Redo pop-up notifications?The pop-up is extremely distracting when editing and sometimes even blocks the area I'm editing. Thanks for any help or tips. Best,Thomas

After installed the macOS 26.4 beta 1 when I try to open LrC this message is coming:

Hi,I recently switched from a MacBook to a Windows PC, and it seems to me that Lightroom Classic is not working properly — although Adobe support says everything is fine.The program runs very slowly. When using masks, there is a noticeable delay in the preview, and the image appears to jump or refresh. I’ve attached a video below showing the issue:https://youtu.be/Rdp1xHr3LAk?si=JiAgedctehGnfyoIIs this normal? On my MacBook M1 I never had any problems with smooth performance.I also noticed that when Lightroom Classic is open, the entire computer seems to slow down — even moving a Chrome window feels laggy and stutters. When the program is closed, everything becomes much smoother again.Here is my computer specification: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D ASUS Prime X870-P WIFI 192 GB DDR5 5200 MHz RAM RTX 5080 16 GB 2 TB Samsung 990 PRO M.2 (up to 7450 MB/s) 4 TB Samsung 990 PRO M.2 (up to 7450 MB/s) 4 TB Samsung 990 PRO M.2 (up to 7450 MB/s) 1200 W BeQuiet modular PSU Fractal Meshify

Hello,I'm wondering if anyone has figured out a way to make VSCO profiles & Lightroom Classic CC/ACR work with newer cameras that have yet to be updated by VSCO? Especially given the near-discontinuation of VSCO I think many would be interested in finding a workaround for this. I've tried a number of different things but no luck.To be clear my problem isn't with presets but rather the VSCO camera profiles.Things I've tried:1. renaming copies of existing VSCO Nikon profiles with the name of the new camera (i.e. Nikon d810>>>Nikon Z7 & Nikon d810>>>Nikon Z 7)2. Importing profiles via the dialogs in Lightroom Classic CC and ACR in PS CC 20193. deleting the Index.dat file in the CameraProfiles folder4. Moving profiles from CameraProfiles into the CameraSettings folderIncidentally, I'm on a Mac running LR Classic CC 8.1. I'm specifically working with Nikon Z 7 files but I imagine that the solution would be essentially the same for any given camera.Thanks in advance

When the Generative AI spot removal has been done before Denoise is applied, the removed areas that have been treated with the Remove tool aren’t treated. However, when Denoise is applied first, the Removal treats those areas properly. 

in Dev and Library mode: metadata is not showing up (spinning wheel constantly), keywords constantly say ‘working’ (grayed out), ratings not showing, nor stacking groups, or even the stack icon on top left. when helper file gets deleted, issue is resolved initially, and then breaks again. When rating images, if any rating shows, it does not get updated. LR 15.1.1  OS Version Number: 15.7.3
