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
How do I make my subject’s teeth white? It used to be so easy, but now my brush won’t do anything.
I use both Fuji and Canon raws in lightroom classic. When attempting to import Canon raws, the preview/thumbnails in the import window show almost instantly with no issues. However, when trying to import with Fuji RAF raws, it takes several minutes to even load a few dozen previews/thumbnails.I have tried using minimal preview builds as well all the other options. I’ve set my photo cache to varying sizes from 5gb, 20gb, 50gb and 100gb. I have tried changing all the performance options and it made no change. I’ve tried using a different drive on my PC from SSD to USB. The only way I can get fast previews is by connecting my camera to the PC and importing directly to LR Classic from there.Are there any solutions to this or is it just LRC handling Fuji RAWs poorly?
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
I will often create a VC at a point where I am happy with what I have, but want to diverge or try other things. Later, I may want to understand at what point in the development I created the VC(s).I requested that, when a VC is created, an entry be made in the history list, indicating the creation…and, if possible, the VC’s copy name.
I recently upgraded to a new computer and was working on transferring my presets from one computer to another. I am able to move over most of my presets, but there is one set that I am unable to upload. It says it uploads, but then it does not appear in the presets tab. If I try to re-upload, it says it cannot because it already has uploaded. When I search for it in my computer files, the presets are there along with the ones that do appear in the application. I can’t discern any difference between the files why one would be visible and not the other! Everything is selected when I look at “manage presets” and I don’t use separate catalogs. It is also set to show “partially compatible presets”. I had an Adobe employee remote into my computer for about an hour and she was unable to figure it out either. Any advice?
I just updated my lightroom classic app and lost all of my photos that I have uploaded. Not all of them were saved to my hard drive. I am incredibly upset and have no clue what to do. I was paid for this photoshoot.
I cannot import photos into LRC! received 'could not copy a file to the destination folder because it is not writable” Regular LR works fine. How do I fix this? Not using a mac.
Have been having a lot of crashes with LRc 15.4.1 for a week or so. Currently the situation is so bad, that moving from library to dev the app crashes every time. I’ve been sending a lot of crash reports. I’ve also tested multiple files from different cameras over past 20 years, the issue stays.I’ve also tested downgrading LRc, issue doesn’t go away. I also tested the other Lightroom, Photoshop, Bridge and Bridge (beta) - all crashing equally the same, when changing to dev/edit or in case of bridge an ps, just opening any raw file. This suggests that the problem is somewhere in Adobe shared runtime stack that is used by all of the apps. I also repaired Creative Cloud installation, no help. Files can be opened just fine in any other capable app. I created new catalogs to see if it was catalog corruption, but it is not. I have gone through all the usual Windows error checkings, sfc, dism, chkdsk, even the memory check. no problems there. All my other apps and even games work fine. Window
When decoding Panasonic S1M2 RW2 RAW files in Adobe Camera Raw, the Camera Matching V-Log profile is severely inaccurate.Additionally, after applying the Camera Matching profile in ACR, it is not possible to apply a LUT on top of it. This is a critical limitation for the RAW → V-Log → color grading workflow.(All Bug and issues above do not exist in Lumix Lab which is offical APP of Panasonic, I think you can fix these issues according to their latest offical APP)
One feature I still find lacking after switching from Apple Aperture is the ability to “split folders based on shooting time.”This feature splits the folder if the interval between shots exceeds a specified duration.
I have a license for LR5 and would like to install it on a new computer, but I can't find the DL link. I've searched through community posts, but all the links are broken. Any help?
A small but very welcome feature, but this version is very crashy on Windows 11 - in a way it’s never been for me.
Hello,I'm attaching the warning I get and let's see if anyone can think of what may be happening. I use Lightroom to save, classify and edit my photos. It's been a week since I saw for the first time the screenshot that I put in which it says: Lightroom has encountered problems when reading this photograph.You will not be able to make adjustments to the photograph. When marking them one by one to see what they had in common I have found that it happens to me only with t The photos taken with the M11-POnly the DNG and when I shoot RAW + JPG the notice never comes out in the JPG and if in the RAW.They are also photos that have been edited.I have seen that an unedited photo when editing it even if it was just cutting, then I got that warning But it doesn't happen to me with all of them... it only happens with some imports. That is to say, photos that I have taken on a trip and that have been imported all together they come out. I have checked the lenses and it comes out with all the ones
Bonjour, j’ai récemment souscrit au Creative Cloud Photography plan with 1TB où j’ai pu télécharger Photoshop 2026 et Lightroom Classic. J’ai utilisé les mêmes identifiants qu’il y a 6 ans lorsque j’avais alors enregistré mon achat Photoshop CS5, que je n’ai plus. Mon problème avec Lightroom Classic : lorsque je veux importer une ou plusieurs images, le simple fait de cliquer sur ‘importer’ et les menus de correction disparaissent, seuls subsistent ‘grille’ et ‘loupe’. Impossible donc de retoucher une image, juste l’importation est possible. Mon nom d’utilisateur figure bien en haut à gauche de mon écran, je suis bien connecté à mon compte Adobe, les mises se font correctement; Photoshop 2026 est OK.Quel est le problème ? Solution s’il vous plait ?merci
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 remove distracting spots in an image that may be caused by dust on a camera's sensor and is also effective on dust on the rear lens element. 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 b
I’m running the latest Lightroom Classic (15.5.1) and am on a Mac mini (and a MacBook Air M4) running Golden Gate 27.2 Beta code.On both computers, Lightroom Classic crashes almost immediately upon starting an AI task. Like starting Denoise or using the the generative Remove tool.Anyone else having this issue? Hope Adobe is aware and working on a fix, assuming it’s not something else that’s causing the issues…Thanks all.
I have more external USB drives than USB sockets on my PC. This requires me to occasionally swap the main USB drive holding my RAW files to another socket or to reconnect after it has been removed. Lightroom often doesn’t recognize that it is the same drive and allocates a new drive letter, consequently it says files not found and I have to re-sync all of the files which loses the history of which files have been edited. Could you have Lightroom recognize the drive and allocate it the original drive letter and retain it even after removal.
Porque se der acesso aos recursos Pro do mobile, o app não está ativado. E eu ja atualizei o app. Alguém poderia me ajudar? Obrigado
This post is applicable to Lightroom Classic. ETAs for tethered support for specific cameras are not available. Tethered Capture is a feature of Lightroom Classic that allows the direct connection of your camera to the Lightroom desktop environment. Images are imported into your Lightroom catalog as they are captured via the connected camera. New camera support for reading the raw files is generally added quickly after a camera is released by its manufacturer. New camera support can be verified here: https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html. Tethered support for a particular camera model normally follows a version or two after the raw file support. Adobe relies on the manufacturer’s (Nikon & Canon) SDK (Software Development Kit) to facilitate the tethering of your camera to Lightroom. The timing of the release of a manufacturer’s support via their SDK greatly affects the time to release for tethered support. In additi
