Lightroom Classic

I can't open Lightroom Classic on my laptop, and I haven't been able to for weeks now, despite resetting my computer, doing a full CC clean of my laptop and doing a clean re-install of Creative cloud, I've tried setting it to high priority, launching as administrator, doing the weird Catalogue thing where you delete the LRCAT file and let it reinitialise it. Nothing has worked, and nothing listed in the old threads regarding this issue has worked either. Getting desperate as I really need Classic to work for my projects, and really quite fed up with Adobe at this point. The app launches and is visible in task manager, but never actually opens on screen. It does use up RAM and seem to really be running, but it's always just a background process and nothing ever shows up on my screen. Any tips?System specs:Processor 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13700H 2.40 GHzInstalled RAM 16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable) running at 4800 MTSSystem type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processorGPU RTX 4050M &

My last iPhone photo import was on Christmas Day (25 Dec 2025). Today, a LIghtroom Classic import either identifies a very small number of year+ old photos that have already been imported or says “no photos found’; it’s inconsistent. I am on an old iMac (late 2015) running the latest macOS supported by that hardware (Monterey 12.7.6) and Lightroom Classic 13.5.1.This is a new problem.I’d appreciate any suggestions on how to get things working again.

I unselected the “Enable hover preview of presets, history and snaphots in Loupe” option in the preferences but even though it is turned off, it is still previewing in case of hovering the mouse over any history state of snapshot. It doesn’t do the preview on the presets, but it is still previews the history and snapshots which it is not supposed to do, because the option is purposely turned off.Lightroo Classic 15.2

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.

Lightroom classic ne filtre plus les photos marquées en mode grille dans une collection. Je souhaite ne voir que les photos filtrées.

Since the latest versions of Lightroom Classic and MacOS the masking of people always shows “No people found” – even on photos where it was working before. Lightroom Classic version: 15.2 [ 202602111402-ec4112e8 ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: en-DEOperating system: Mac OS 26Version: 26.3.0 [25D125]Application architecture: x64Logical processor count: 24Processor speed: 3,3GHzSqLite Version: 3.36.0Adobe GSDK Version: 1.4.0.171Built-in memory: 196.608,0 MBDedicated GPU memory used by Lightroom: 4.743,3MB / 16.368,0MB (28%)Real memory available to Lightroom: 196.608,0 MBReal memory used by Lightroom: 3.040,3 MB (1,5%)Virtual memory used by Lightroom: 55.303,7 MBMemory cache size: 62,7MBInternal Camera Raw version: 18.2 [ 2482 ]Maximum thread count used by Camera Raw: 5Camera Raw SIMD optimization: SSE2,AVX,AVX2Camera Raw virtual memory: 631MB / 98303MB (0%)Camera Raw real memory: 644MB / 196608MB (0%)Cache1: Final1- RAM:519,0MB, VRAM:1.818,0MB, ALP05331.ARWNT- RAM:519,0MB, VRAM

Hi everyone!I hope I didn’t miss any already existing bug / issue posts for this issue. Here’s the short version again:After upgrading to Lightroom Classic 15.2, I experience an increase in repeatable and reproducable freezes with following crashes. These occur always when zooming into an image and are instantanous. The resulting CrashLog from the error report tool is attatched as well as the Lightroom System Info sheet.  System spec overview: Windows Desktop PC (custom)OS: Windows 11 25H2 Build 26200CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 7950x3D (+ integrated iGPU)GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4070ti (12GB GDDR6 VRAM) [591.74 - Driver info see below]RAM: 64GB DDR5 6000MTs CL30DISK: LRc installed on M.2 Gen.4 SSD; Library on same drive; Media on 7200RPM HDDVER.: Adobe Lightroom v15.2First observations:Since version 14.1, I have encountered random issues, from increased stuttering to freezing. When those issues persistet and occured more often, I finally got a “KNOWN ISSUE” warning prompt once, which led me to the Adobe H

Lately, whenever I import photos into Lightroom Classic (latest version, PC running Windows 11), the newly created date folder consistently shows above the parent folder in the Library module, although the files are correctly located within it, as “Show in Explorer” reveals. I am unable to drag the new date folder into its proper place (the year folder), because the path is technically correct, meaning the photos are already where I am trying to put them. Hoping others may have had and solved this problem, although I did not see any discussions about it. I did recently have to replace the drive in question, as the old one was damaged, could this help explain the problem? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I am trying to import phots from my camera into lightroom classic but keep getting a message saying either: “could not copy a file to the destination folder because it is not writable”or I am using a MacBook Pro with macOS Sequoia version 15.7.4I am using Adobe Lightroom Classic Release 15.2Destination Drive is an external Hard Drive which has all my Library PhotosCatalog is in the “Lightroom” folder inside the “Pictures” folder on my Mac I have already checked/done the following with no result:The destination drive is not full and has sufficient space still available for the photos being imported The folder into which I am trying to import the file has read and write permission in mac os Adobe Lightroom Classic has “Full Disk Access” under mac OS Settings/Privacy & Security Settings I have tried “Clear Recent Paths” in the Destination Folder I have tried unticking “Make a Second Copy To : ” in the File Handling section and then importing I have tried ticking “Make a Second Copy To

I use the + and - keys to adjust my sliders when going through photos quickly for minor changes, in particular, for exposure. I find that sometimes (maybe 1 in 10 images), I can see the keypad change occur, but then just as quickly bouce back as if I had never made the change. This happens while still on the image, not when moving to the next. Is this a bug? If not, what can I do to stop this happening?

After installing LR Classic the app is now so slow that it is unusable. Windows 11, strong PC.

Every time the user performs any of the following actions in the Develop module,the application becomes "Not Responding" for 3–5 seconds before resuming:  • Collapsing or expanding any panel (Basic, Tone Curve, HSL, Detail, etc.)  • Switching between tools (Crop, Heal, Masking, Object Remove, etc.)  • Switching from Develop to Library module and backThe freeze does NOT occur when:  • Navigating between photos (Next / Previous)  • Adjusting sliders within an already-open panelThis is a clear regression. The behavior was not present in LrC 14.x.The issue was first reported by many users with LrC 15.0 and was NOT fixed in 15.1 or 15.2.I performed detailed diagnostics with Claude Cowork; a full user-mode process dump was captured during an active "Not Responding" freeze and analyzed with WinDbg using the Microsoft public symbol server.Root cause was identified via WinDbg analysis.When any panel or tool transition occurs in LrC 15.x, the substrate event system spawns approximately 60 parall

This thread is for Camera Raw & Lightroom Classic feedback on the (Early Access) Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI)For the Lightroom Ecosystem feedback, click here.  The Lightroom team is dedicated to building capabilities that foster trust and transparency in the age of AI. Our latest release, as part of the Content Authenticity Initiative (https://contentauthenticity.org/), allows you to add content credentials to your work when exporting in Lightroom to ensure provenance and preserve authenticity.   New content credential capabilities are available across the Lightroom ecosystem (Lightroom, Lightroom Classic, Lightroom for mobile (iOS & Android), Lightroom for web), and Adobe Camera Raw in Early Access. When exporting a JPEG from Lightroom, you can attach your name, social media handle, and a list of edits via a digital signature.   You can find the option to apply Content Credentials while exporting a JPEG in the export panel. It is, by default, turned OFF

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 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

Using Lightroom Classic with iOs system.  While on a trip a companion air dropped the trip pictures on her phone to my MacBook.  They were JPG and MOV files air dropped and saved in my downloads folder.  I then opened LR and attempted to import & move them into my LR organizing system.  There were more than 300 images and all but 12 imported just fine.  The 12 were a mix of the JPG and MOV files and were just left in downloads.  When I try to import those 12 again, they are darkened and showing that they were imported already.  I have double checked and they did NOT import---but LR won’t let me select them again to do another import to pick them up.  I had followed the same procedure with other air dropped images and had no problems.  But these last 12 are giving me fits.  How do I get them imported when I can’t select them?  Thanks.

So this is still an error I experience at random times when re-ordering a small (10-12) batch of photos within a collection. Lightroom tells me something to the effect of not being able to move photos on disk or that are already in the collection (I closed the warning too quickly to be able to say verbatim). This is a glitch I’ve encountered in many versions of LR Classic over the years. I think I have 4 closed threads on the topic already.Anyone else?   Lightroom Classic version: 15.2 [ 202602111402-ec4112e8 ]License: Creative CloudLanguage setting: enOperating system: Windows 11 - Home Premium EditionVersion: 11.0.26200Application architecture: x64System architecture: x64Logical processor count: 24Processor speed: 3.4GHzSqLite Version: 3.36.0Adobe GSDK Version: 1.4.0.171CPU Utilisation: 2.0%Power Source: Plugged InBuilt-in memory: 65292.0 MBDedicated GPU memory used by Lightroom: 203.7MB / 15995.0MB (1%)Real memory available to Lightroom: 65292.0 MBReal memory used by Lightroom: 1364

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 am currently using Lightroom Classic v14.0.1 on Windows 11. Flat Field Correction has been working previously on scanned negatives. However, when I try to use it now there appears to be no affect or alteration of the files. The "task bar" in the top left corner appears to finish, but there is no correction applied nor is the DNG file created. I have verified by checking the source folder for a DNG file, looking at photo in library and develop tab, tried various layouts (correction image first and last), correcting one photo to multiple, tried different locations, restarting PC, etc.  Is this a recent bug? I am using the same workflow as before and it appears to be broken right now.
