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
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
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
DNG should be able to have sidecar .xmp file for the edits we do in LR classic. it would speed up the backing up processit would preserve the integrity of the filesit would preserve the life span of ssd and hddit would make the workflow with different raw files from different brands more consistent.It would prevent the original creation date of the file from being changed, thereby avoiding mistakes when synchronizing or overwriting files with the same name but from different years.Since synchronization is primarily based on the file name and creation date, this is particularly important for professional photographers. We only have 9,999 numbers available in the file naming system, so it is common for RAW and DNG files from different years to have the same numerical file name. In these cases, the original creation date is the only reliable parameter the computer has to distinguish between them and prevent the wrong file from being overwritten.I am hoping this discussion gets some suppor
Lors d’importation de photo dans Lightroom, je sélectionne le dossier où se trouve mes photos sur ma carte mémoire, je souhaite utiliser la fonctionnalité Tri assisté. L’analyse des photos commence puis Lightroom se ferme avant même que l’analyse ne soit terminée. Aucune case à cocher n’est sélectionnée dans les possibilités de Tri assisté.
Could Adobe Lightroom Classic incorporate a feature that automates window masking in real estate photo editing, facilitating 'window pulls' without the need for manual brushing? Love the products! greets!
It's all in the title. But here's a screenshot of the problem.Because of this problem, local AI functionality is much slower.I have already tried the troubleshooting steps on the troubleshooting page, but without success.This is intolerable considering that I pay for the subscription to this software.I've attached my dxdiag file.I'm also experiencing the same issue with Camera Raw versions 18.4.1 through 18.6. Only Camera Raw 18.4 still works correctly. And my NVIDIA driver is fully up to date with version 616.56, released yesterday.
Give Claude the Lightroom playbook and create the MCP integration. I think we would all be happy with that.
Long time LR classic (windows 11 w/ networked 25T NAS) and med term LR cc user (on an iPad when shooting and on road) who has successfully been able to import, visualize, and edit pictures on both platforms using the synched feature and Adobe Cloud Storage. The work flow is 1)import pictures from my Canon camera directly into a new folder in LR classic and onto the 25T NAS with the same folder name for permanent storage with a copy to a 4T external HD (with additional redundancy by weekly automatic upload into the Amazon Glacier S3 Cloud Storage). 2) create a collection (same name) from the new folder and sync to Adobe Cloud Storage (1T). 3) I edit on any device (windows computer, IPad,iphone, web) and all are synched. Problem is when I go the other way when I'm on the road shooting and want to edit before i arrive home. Workflow is:1)import pictures from my Canon camera directly into a new album in LR cc and sync to Adobe Cloud Storage (1T). Edit away2)when i return home, I log onto
Hey everyone! We usually have a very short window between shooting, importing, editing, exporting, and uploading the images, so speed is extremely important.Right now, I’m using a Canon R10 and shooting JPEG at medium quality. I may eventually move to RAW, but before doing that, I’d like to make my current workflow faster and more straightforward.1. Automatically applying edits based on reference imagesI usually shoot from one location during a race, so the lighting conditions are relatively consistent. However, I still have situations such as:Clouds temporarily covering the sun The sun changing position because events start early in the morning ISO changing as the available light changes Shooting runners from different directionsWhat I’d really like to know is whether Lightroom Classic has a way to define a few reference images for different lighting scenarios and automatically apply the appropriate Develop settings to similar photos.For example, imagine I’m photographing runners from
A couple of months ago, I went to open a Lightroom Classic catalog, and it appeared to crash. The first Lightroom graphic appeared, but after a few minutes, the catalog didn’t open. At first, I force-quit and tried again. That didn’t help. Then I resorted to pulling an old catalog file from Time Machine, which worked initially but later failed the same way after closing the catalog and reopening. It wasn’t always immediate. Sometimes I could close the catalog and reopen it right away, and it would work, but eventually it failed the same way again. I dug around in the Lightroom community and found many other people having similar issues, but most seemed to be using Windows 11. People said Lightroom would eventually open if you left it long enough. Several hours! I tried this and found that it was true. Whenever the catalog seemed to crash while trying to open, if I left it for hours, it would eventually open. In all of these other posts by other people with similar issues, one of the c
HI! When I upgraded to Canon R5 from the 5Dmk3 a few years ago my existing VSCO presets wouldn't work properly and a wonderful person on here sent me new dcp files for R5/6 which solved my problem and was amazing! And of course after looking for 3 hours can't find who it was. I have a NEW problem. Went to edit some older images taken on my 5DMK3 and of course my presets dont work properly - they show in grey italics and the image is a bit washed out . It seem after a lot of searching the problem is the adobe no longer supports this“~~C - Kodak Portra 400_.lrtemplate” Is anyone able to help me please ! Im ready to throw my computer across the room. I have thousands of unedited images on the MK3 id love to finish editing , and obviously want consistency! My images shot on the R5 are still being editing perfectly with my slightly tweaked presets :) cheers Jo!
Adobe Lightroom 15.4.1 is crashing repeatedly during the culling process and causing my pc computer to run terrible slow. I had to remove it and roll back to a previous version of LRC
For all the years I have used Lightroom I have used a User Preset to Import my photos. This is pointed at the current month in my Folder Structure and creates folders in that month according to the day of the month the photos are taken. Each month I edit the preset to move the output to the next month. I have recently mover my entire Catalogue from being split between my D: Drive and my external G: Drive so the entire catalogue is on the G: Drive. The Import User Preset has gone “wrong” and I cannot find a fix. Refer the following screens. Import using User Script - everything is as it should be with a couple of days straggling to be moved back to AugustLightroom structure after Import Nothing has added to September. Going through Previous Import - Photo - Go to Folder In Library takes me here. Which is outside my Master CatalogueThen I cannot Drag any of these new folders into their correct location within the Master Catalogue.I cannot find any way of either rectifying the problem wit
In Lightroom Classic, in Develop Module, using Transform panel. On wider angle photos correcting distorted perspectives of buildings I make use of the Guided function a lot. The screen grab shows what always happens: I end up with two triangles of blank check-pattern areas that Lightroom considers outside of the image. Having to take the image into Photoshop, select the areas with no content, and then fill them with seamless matching imagery, flatten the image and save back to Lightroom Classic is a chore.The Adobe Lightroom Classic panorama creation tool allows for infilling in a content aware fashion. Cannot this facility also be extended to Transform, via an additional check box in the transform panel labelled as “Infill Resultant Blank Areas”? I am certain many users would love this feature. It would make transform much more useful. Using the Auto button seems to always crop in the image, but using the Guided button retains the image pixels, which to me is far far more preferable.
So, good color grain simulation is pretty hard to find, and a while back I came up with my own as a PS action, which is pretty good. (Optional) To give a better "pushed grainy color reversal film" look, increase saturation (even till unrealistic ... go look at E1600 +2/+3) and smooth image (texture -50 or thereabouts)Desaturate photo "-50" to avoid gamut problemsConvert to CMYKFor each channel:a) Camera Raw Filter: Grain Amount 100, Grain Size whatever (e.g. 30), Grain Roughness 100b) gaussian blur (to match grain size above)Convert back to RGBTurn saturation back up "+50" Et, voila! Now, obviously there is no reason this can't be done in Lightroom itself, as basically all of this is built in (no explicit gaussian blur but it's used everywhere internally). Here's an example up close and magnified. This is a nice clean digital photo run through the above action: For comparison, here is a scan of +2 pushed cross-processed expired E100-something:
This has been happening for probably a week or two. I have it by default apply content credentials to every jpg I export - can’t hurt, right?In every single export lately, a random number of them ‘fail to apply’ and hence do not export at all. I have to keep going to the export dialog, click ‘skip’, and it will export a few more and fail to export a random number. Currently I have done this 8 times to a set of 148, and am down to one single file that it just doesn’t seem to want to apply them to ever. I assume this is a bug and I should give up on credentials until this is fixed. Mac Mini M4 Pro, OS 26.5.2
Hi, I’ve noticed in recent weeks that when I am shooting tethered with my Canon EOS 5D Mark iii and Lightroom Classic, the buttons on my camera don’t work properly, but when I unplug from the cable, the buttons on my camera work fine. It’s a tethering issue and I am guessing a software issue, rather than a camera issue since the trouble only happens when I am plugged (Tether Pro cable to macbook Pro running Sonoma 14.3 with Lightroom Classic 15.5.1). Anybody else? I have trouble choosing focus points, etc. because the buttons don’t work when tethered. Super frustrating! Thanks!
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

Assisted Culling is now generally available in Lightroom ClassicTL; DR: Assisted Culling has graduated from Early Access to General Availability. It gives you a fast, reviewable first pass on large shoots: it surfaces your strongest frames and sets aside the obvious rejects, so you spend less time comparing near-duplicates. You stay in control: review everything, adjust the thresholds, and override any call. If you tried it back in October 2025, it's substantially more accurate now, especially for wedding, event, group, and portrait work. We'd love for you to give it another look and tell us what you think in this thread. What it does Open an album or collection, run a cull, and Assisted Culling analyzes your images against the criteria you choose: Subject Sharpness, Eye Sharpness, Eyes Open, exposure, and more. It marks Selects and Rejects, shows you why behind every call, and leaves the final decision to you. How far it's come since Early Access February 2026: Expanded from individ

Meu pc é está (AMD Ryzen 9 9900X de 12 núcleos) e 64 GB de RAM, além de um SSD NVMe e uma placa NVIDIA dedicada. Uma máquina dessas deveria exportar fotos voando, mas o lightroom não usa todo o potencial da maquina. Leva, aproximandamente, 15 minutos para exportar 1000 fotos, o processado não passada de 15% de uso. Já fiz todos os testes e nada mudou isso. ALGUÉM PODE AJUDAR?
