Lightroom Classic

Images load full-size (filling the screen on the longest edges) normally when viewing an image in the library.But when I switch to develop mode the image reopens in the upper left quarter of the editing screen. Sometimes it opens on top of the full-size preview image, sometimes in a new window. If I change from “fill” to “100%, it just gets bigger in that quarter so you can only see the center of the image. This just started after trying to balance text sizes on my other programs and lightroom. So it might be related to that. Or it might be related to closing and reopening lightroom multiple times. For a hot minute I actually had a readable font size, but that also disappeared when this started.

Lightroom Classic fullscreen bug on MacBook Pro with notch (macOS Golden Gate)I'm having an issue with Lightroom Classic on my MacBook Pro, running the latest version of both Lightroom Classic and macOS Golden Gate.When viewing a photo in fullscreen mode, Lightroom is supposed to keep the image below the MacBook's notch, leaving a black area at the top of the screen. This used to work perfectly.However, something has changed. When I press L to activate Lights Out, the image gets squeezed horizontally, and the entire fullscreen layout seems to resize incorrectly. The image looks squashed rather than maintaining its proper aspect ratio. Toggling Lights Out off doesn't fix it.I want to keep the notch hidden, so disabling the macOS "Scale to fit below built-in camera" option isn't an ideal workaround.I've seen reports of similar behavior in older versions of Lightroom, but I'm wondering whether anyone else is experiencing this on the latest macOS and Lightroom Classic versions.Has anyone f

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

Environment: Lightroom Classic 15.6, macOSSteps to reproduce:1. Create a new collection containing photos never synced before (ordinary RAW/.CR3 files).2. Enable sync on that collection.3. Wait for sync to progress: most photos sync successfully, but a small subset (roughly 5-10% of the batch) gets stuck indefinitely.4. No error message appears anywhere (not in Lightroom Classic, not on Lightroom Web "Sync Issues").5. Create a second, separate collection containing only the stuck photos, and sync again: the exact same files get stuck again.Example: synced a collection of 65 RAW photos, 58 synced successfully (confirmed on Lightroom mobile), 7 specific photos got stuck. Re-tested those same 7 files alone in a new collection: same 7 files stuck again.Investigation done on the stuck files, no common factor found: different camera bodies, different focal lengths, same color label/treatment/develop status as the successfully synced photos, standard file names (no special characters), normal

I just updated Lightroom Classic and I just finished an edit. As I try to export I’m getting a dialog warning that AI Updates Required. What the heck is that all about? What am I supposed to do? I just edited the photos, and they are exactly as I want them. I don’t want anything “updating” or changing what I just spent hours editing. This is lunacy. Why am I getting this and what to do about it? Do I need to update to keep my photos as they are? Or will updating change them into something different, ruining the batch? This is terrible.  

I cannot find any details concerning White Balance like Auto1, Natural Auto, Shade, … of my Nikon Z6 ii in Lightroom’s Metadata.  How can I make Lightroom Classic show all EXIF data? 

As soon as I import, “fetching previews” is stuck. No previews show.  I have tried updating, restarting the computer and the application, and going to the catalog settings- face detection was not checked/address lookup not checked / culling not checked.   

No sure why I was unable to report a bug, and so I have to create this post. I have beent trying to import H.264 video and it consistently fails - tried with latest 15.6 and also 15.4.1 and 15.3.1 (just in case). The details are as follows… H.264 video import consistently fails with Dynamic Link server error on Apple Silicon MacSummaryLightroom Classic 15.6 on an Apple Silicon Mac cannot import H.264/AVC video.The import causes dynamiclinkmediaserver to consume approximately 100% CPU. After approximately one minute, Lightroom reports:An unknown error has occurred while reading the video file. Connecting to Dynamic Link server failed. (1)The same H.264 file can be successfully processed by Apple's avconvert, demonstrating that the file itself is readable by the macOS media framework.A Dynamic Link process sample captured during the failure shows the server spending its time in Adobe's mc_dec_avc AVC/H.264 decoder path.System informationLightroom Classic: 15.6 [202609251514-f839cde9]Lice

Like many others, I am experiencing frustrating slowness with LrC.First, long startup time: about 1 minute to see the LrC grid and then another minute for LrC to be responsive. That happens once a day so not a big deal. It could be an indication of something though. Now, clicking on an image in grid mode may suffer a delay of about 5 seconds. Hitting "P" to pick can suffer a delay of 5 to 7 seconds (approximately). Those two delays will add up when I have to click on a picture to select and then pick it.This is basically unworkable (especially when you have multiple selections to make).My machine is somewhat old (see below) but should be enough according to some people. For example, denoise only takes about 10 seconds for a 50 mpix photo. (12 GB GPU, M.2 4 lane SSDs, etc) I suspect there is a Windows or LrC configuration issue somewhere.I always update my GPU drivers. I have uninstalled my Norton antivirus and Loupedeck app to see if they were the culprit. (ran

I’ve already tried every option to improve or fix the slowness in Lightroom’s Develop module. Nothing worked—nothing at all—except downgrading to an earlier version (but that’s absurd; I pay to have the best).

Just installed LR 16.0, but I cannot make Autofocus Point working, it is grayed out for any image.I couldnt find any settings related.What could be wrong?  

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.
