Hi,

 

Is it possible to download all orinigal files from my lightroom cloud at the same time? I can download seperate files, but I can't find an option to download a batch. Is there any other way to get my original files on my harddrive? Since I have over 600 files, one by one download is not really an option.

 

Thank you!

 

Best,

 

Hans

      Using Lightroom-Desktop (v3.2.1) it is possible to select multiple files and Export 'Original+Settings'- specify the folder to 'save'.

      Is this what you are attempting by "download"?

       

      Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .

        Thank you Wobert. I was trying to download from the online Lightroom version (https://lightroom.adobe.com/libraries). 

        Now I have tried exporting original + setting from the desktop version, but I get the following error "images could not be exported at the size you req...ed becuase we couldn't access the full size original." Strange, because I am able to download the original files from the online version, just not more than one at the time. Any idea what could be a reason for this error?

        The usual cause of that problem is that the image that you are exporting was synced originally from Lightroom Classic, and Classic only uploads smart previews, not the full res original. Smart Previews are 2560px max on the long edge, so any attempt to export a larger size than that (such as trying to export "Original + Settings") will fail because the original is not stored in the cloud.

        Downloading from the web version has the same limitations, but there you don't get the choice....if the source file is a smart preview the download will only offer a 2048px long edge jpeg download. If the original is available in the cloud, LR Web will offer both the 2048px option and a full-size option.
