Lightroom ecosystem (Cloud-based)

im currently trying to make the switch from lightroom mobile on my computer to lightroom classic. but, the photos from mobile won't sync with classic. it says its in the process of syncing, but it never actually syncs a single photo.

With the new version the icons which appeared on the photos in the develop module no longer show up. No crop or photo adjustments.  Also the information above the photo with date, file size no longer appears

Error message, mfc140u.dll file not found when launching, tried reinstalling with no sucess 

LR Classic 15.0 impromptu slideshow (not the full scale generate version) has always show a full screen image with the caption overlaid ONTO the image. I think I may have set it up many years ago. Suddenly I’m getting the image surrounded by a large pale grey frame with the caption underneath. I have struggled and got somewhere near but I can’t see how to overlay the caption onto the image. Any ideas on how to do this and which option I’ve pressed to mess things up?Thanks,John

The recommended presets aren't loading anymore; it says they're being analyzed, but nothing happens. It used to work before—how can I fix this? 

how best to subscribe to PS when I already have LR on my desktop? Are they two separate subscriptions or is there a package deal?

First off, I love Lightroom Classic.  It does everything I need, and more, and I’m finding it gets better and better with each new feature.  I use it when I’m able to finish work at home.  It works in my workflow fantastically.  Since I need to submit photos in real time, I started making a transition to Lightroom Mobile (I think) or Lightroom Cloud (?), on my iPhone 16 plus.  I then needed to be able to see the work and write the captions using a bigger platform in the field (I’m a photojournalist), so I’ve been using an iPad Air 13 that I just purchased.  I’m having all sort of issues replicating how I used my iPhone.   I just can’t seem to figure out where/what I’m on, when I’m using LR on different hardware + devices.  The features are different on the version of LR on my mobile phone from my ipad.   And, the biggest issue is, I spent a great deal of time on my iPad, creating my caption, title and key words, and now I’m finding that none of it exported when I created JPGs to submit

I just did an update with my Lightroom Lr (cloud) and now I am having trouble with my exports. I want to set a custom name and have the number sequence after one and other by using "export with previous settings" but its not working I don't know where they are going. I have to do a reset with every image I export. Please help

Hi there,I would like to clean up some storage space on my Mac and I noticed that most of my Document storage is taken by Lightroom files. Could you please advise me/explain me which of these is safe to delete? There are many backup Catalog zip files, can I get rid of them all apart from the most recent one? What about the other type of files?Many thanks,Lucia 

I switched catalogs last year and have been unable to use the cloud portion of Lightroom. I haven’t sync’d my catalog because there are a lot of photos I don’t have access to any more that are sync’d currently. I found out about Adobe Lightroom Downloader and was able to see the process and get it started. Well it turns out…“Your Lightroom account contains 811,487 photos, 1 videos, 0 deleted photos, and 0 deleted videos totaling 21.0 TB. Choose a download destination that has enough free space to hold these files.” I’ve seen people complain about 870GB download speeds… Is there a best practice to this? Any tips and info would be super helpful for a download of this size.

I have successfully upscaled both raw and jpegs a total of eight times using Generative Upscale in Lightroom v9.2. Everything worked perfectly, until yesterday evening when I received a “Service Unavailable, try again later” message. Thinking the server might be overloaded with requests, I thought I’d try again this morning and I still get the same message.I know I have enough credits as the last time I upscaled I had 80 credits left, enough for 4 more upscales this month.So, is this a server capacity issue because everyone is trying it out? Or, is there something else wrong with the system?

I lost all my albums. They simply disappeared. Where can I find them? why this happened?Folders are still there, but all of them are empty since yestarday afternoon. Is there a way to recover how I had organized my files or do I need to start from Scratch?

I would like to request for your team to optimize Lightroom and Lightroom classic to take advantage of multi-core performance, rather than rely on single-core performance. These programs have become so bloated and heavy that even with the latest, fastest, most efficient chips from Apple (M4 Max & M5 Max), routine tasks like selecting different items in the panel take up to 20-30 seconds to respond. This is unacceptable, and makes Lightroom almost unusable. Please optimize these programs to use more than a single core when editing. Make it an opt-in, kind of like the GPU acceleration in the settings. Simple, probably easy for your software engineers, and your customers will love you for it. Thanks! 

I want to share a photo directly to WhatsApp or wherever but I am unable to because  I can’t even export as either.  this is on Lightroom mobile on the iPhone

I was previously using Adobe Lightroom mobile on my Motorola Moto G32 running on Android 12. I did factory reset on my phone now I am unable to install it. It says "This version is not compatible with your device". Please advise  

Introducing Assisted Culling (Early Access) in Lightroom Desktop  For providing feedback for Lightroom Classic, click here.   We’re excited to share an early look at Assisted Culling, an AI-powered workflow that helps photographers quickly review large photo sets and select the best shots with confidence.    What is Assisted Culling? Assisted Culling is one of the most requested features from advanced photographers, consistently topping feedback at customer events. It streamlines the process of identifying top photo selects from large sets—hundreds or even thousands—based on attributes like eye openness, sharpness, and more.    Assisted Culling saves photographers countless hours of manual review, letting them focus on creativity instead of sorting.  Eyes Open – Detects whether subjects’ eyes are open.  Eye Focus – Measures the sharpness of the eyes.  Subject Focus – Evaluates overall clarity.  Clean Up – Identifies likely r
