Lightroom Classic

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

I was doing some experimenting with my Canon R6 Mk ll on landscape photos today. Some shots were just RAW, some were HDR, and some were HDR PQ. While looking at the files in Lightroom Library, the ones that are HDR stand out (and they are .JPG files)… but the HDR PQ and regular RAW files look almost identical… (and they are both CR3 files).Is there anything I can click in the Customize Metadata Panel that will show this type of file information?

Hello Adobe TeamWhen I need to refine the edit in Photoshop I export directly from Lr to Ps. But when it’s time to save the file and return to Lightroom I always get a filename with a Lowercase extension. There is no option to set it to Uppercase [image 1], unlike the export dialog [image 2].  I tried to rename the file manually within Lightroom, rewriting the extension to Uppercase in the Filename field, but doesn’t work. It reverts to Lowercase on pressing enter to confirm the change.I also tried renaming outside Lightroom, in the Finder, then right click on the image in Lr. But there is either no option to synchronize only the file. Synchronizing the folder is not always desirable. there might be images I don’t want/need in Lr. I’ve also noticed that renaming outside Lightroom, when I get back into Lr, there is no alert badge on the file preview signalling the external change.By the way, what I’m asking here is Uppercase extension when exporting from Lr to edit in Ps or External Edi

I am using Lightroom Classic 15.5.1 on an iMac. I have approximately 40,228 photographs already successfully synced over then years.I created a new synced collection containing 803 JPEG photographs. Syncing stopped with 364 photographs remaining and stayed there indefinitely.Lightroom Sync Activity shows the first affected photographs as “Uploading — [file path] — Image.”View Sync Status on Web reports no sync problems, and there is no “All Sync Errors” collection in Lightroom Classic.I tried removing individual photographs at the head of the stuck queue. This allowed syncing to progress temporarily from 364 to 362 and subsequently to 356, but it then stopped again on another photograph. A newly created synced collection also remains queued behind these photographs.I have generated the Lightroom Classic Sync Diagnostic Report.I have not used Rebuild Sync Data or reset the cloud library.Anyone out there having this problem?

Using Windows 11 and have an AMD Radian 5700XT Graphics Card also 32gb of RAM.When i start up and use LC all is good for a while then everything starts to slow down, sliders slow to respond, also remove tool circle moves but does not follow on for a few seconds.Reinstalled LRC and tried changing preferences etc but still no joy.Cleared cache and optomized catalogue.Updates all installed.

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

Metadata window extractUp until recently, adding different values to these fields gave me a brief list of values I ahd used before and I could reselct for teh current photo. This has stopped working and no values are stored in a recent entries list.Help would be apprecaited!Thank you

HiI am an infrequent user of LRC and still struggling to get to grips with it. I uploaded a bunch of photos in Dec 2024, did some preliminary edits on them and just came back to do some further adjustments. However, I was horrified to find that EVERY SINGLE edit on EVERY SINGLE photo in my LRC seems to have disappeared. There don't seem to be any issues with LRC finding each image so I don't understand where the edits have gone. Would appreciate some help! Thanks in advance!!

I have a LR6-catalog that I wish to get into LRC.It cannot be upgraded in program but I found this workaround (below). The only problem is that I cannot install any versions older than 14.0 and I need 13.2 to do the conversion.Any idea on how to proceed.https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-bugs/p-error-when-upgrading-from-legacy-lr-6-to-lr-classic-14/idi-p/15019707 Thanks

How comes that my “old”/previously edited photo is still present in my lightroom? When I have imported my new photos I can still see my previous photos. Thats very annoying. How do I deselect this option?

After the 15..6 update, I wonder if others are experiencing problems with user presets.  Previously, the user presets worked ok.  One user preset I used to adjust Highlights and Shadows is now also adjusting Contrast and Clarity.  Today, when applying the preset to a batch of shots just imported in the Library Module, the preset began changing color shots to black and white.  The size of the batch was large (500), but other batches previously had no problem.  I am unsure as to the cause.  LRC?  My pc?  My mouse?  What worked in September, is presenting problems in October.  Thanks for any feedback or suggestions. 

Good afternoon,I recently bought Adobe Creative Cloud, end I'm extremely frustrated since I cannot open any of the LR6 catalogs that I have been using for several years.Would yo have any experience on that problem ?Thanks for youf feedbacks !Arno 

Since upgrading to Lightroom Classic 15.6, I have been experiencing a persistent problem with metadata display. The Metadata and Keywording panels in the Library module become blank, the metadata loading indicator keeps spinning, and the Loupe Info overlay in the Develop module no longer displays the expected information.Closing Lightroom Classic and deleting the catalog's `Helper.lrdata`, `Previews.lrdata`, and `Sync.lrdata` folders temporarily resolves the issue. Lightroom recreates these folders when it starts again, and metadata initially displays correctly. However, after approximately 10 minutes of normal use, the problem returns.I have reinstalled Lightroom Classic on Windows 11 and reset the application preferences, but neither action has resolved the issue. I have also tested with GPU acceleration disabled and with new catalogs, but the problem persists.The issue makes it difficult to work with and organize my photo library, as essential metadata and keywords become unavailabl

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.   

Summary: Lightroom Classic throws a generic "unknown error" when importing HEVC video files tagged as hvc1, which is the default output format for DJI cameras (tested with DJI Osmo Action 6). The same file remuxed to use the hev1 codec tag imports without issues. No re-encoding is performed — the video bitstream is identical.Steps to reproduce:Record video on a DJI Osmo Action 6 (or likely any DJI camera outputting HEVC). Or use attached input file. Attempt to import the resulting .MP4 file into Lightroom Classic via File → Import LrC throws "unknown error" and fails to importWorkaround: Remux the file using ffmpeg with no quality loss:ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c copy -tag:v hev1 -map 0:v:0 -map 0:a:0 output.mp4The resulting file (attached) imports correctly.File properties (ffprobe):Codec: HEVC / H.265 Profile: Main 10 Resolution: 3840×2160 Codec tag (original, failing): hvc1 Codec tag (remuxed, working): hev1 Color: yuv420p10le, bt709Expected behavior: Both hvc1 and hev1 are valid, spec-c

You have issues with your latest LrC update.  Also with this webpage as it just trashed my last attempt to report these bugs. Please fix this webpage! These issues, which never occurred before your last update now occur EVERY TIME I use my normal workflow.That workflow:  Import my raw NEF file Enter “Develop” Use the <File><Plug-in Extras><Process with Topaz Photo (Studio) Let Topaz run its automatic noise reduction and, optionally do some other stuff such as sharpen (but not required to reproduce the bugs described below) Return the denoised DNG file from Topaz back to LrC and enter Develop module Attempt to enter masking.  DOES NOT WORK. Change Profile from the default “Camera AUTO” to “Adaptive Color”.  Now I can enter masking.  But… Subject masking DOES NOT WORK.  When I attempt it, the masking subwindow pops up and immediately disappears.  Object masking works and I am forced to use it to get my work done. Once I’m done, I go to export my photo.  I get the normal po

Le masquage ne fonctionne pas correctement, sélection du ciel fonctionne mais la sélection paysage affiche “aucune personne trouvé” la photo est uniquement un paysage. Il faut quitter LRC pour débloquer le systeme.Les applications sont à jour. Carte graphique Nvidia Ge Force GTX 1650, version 617.42 du 6.10.2026 utilisée par LRC et carte AMD est à jour. Windows 11 est à jour.J’espère que vous pourriez m’aider. Merci
