Lightroom v9.5 Is Live! Extend Photos with Generative Expand, Refine Masks with Precision, and Edit More Smoothly The August 2026 update to Adobe Lightroom (version 9.5) introduces AI-powered photo expansion, more precise masking controls, and performance enhancements to help photographers and creators work more efficiently and stay in flow. What’s New:Lightroom (version 9.5) brings more control and flexibility to everyday creative workflows with the introduction of Generative Expand, one of the release's most significant additions. This new Firefly-powered feature lets you extend photos beyond their original borders and intelligently generate content that blends naturally with the existing image, making it easier to recover poorly framed shots, create new aspect ratios for social media and marketing formats, reconstruct missing edges, or fill transparent gaps left behind after perspective corrections. Photographers can choose between Firefly Fill & Expand, which generates multiple

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.

Not much to add, lightroom runs , Decting mask, then the mask box just closes.
I am in the terrible situation, where my dumb a** unintentionally deleted Mobile Downloads file, when trying to clear out space on my macbook. Now my LrC cannot find the files… I am looking for a way to restore/fix this mistake. Does any one have any tips or ideas? I am not very familiar with the lightroom eco system, as you might’ve guessed already…Hope any of you know anything of thisThanks in advance, and kind regardsAnders, a very stressed creative...
I’ve investigated this for at least a couple of hours to no avail. Windows 11, Lightroom Creative Cloud version 9.2. All of a sudden the app simply won’t open. The little progress circle appears next to the cursor, and after a couple of seconds it disappears and Lightroom hasn’t loaded. I sits in Task Manager under Background Processes, with status “Suspended”. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled both Lightroom and Creative Cloud. I’ve updated graphics drivers and I’ve read that could be the issue. Nothing has resolved this yet. What is going on? I’m currently paying for software that refuses to open.
I want a full $50 refund that was charged on the 25th. I have no used any credits and did not want to continue using LightRoom. I do not have a need for it. Please issue a full refund.
I have been able to move back and forth from 1 image to another by using the > and < keys, but this no longer seems to work. I have also used Fn + > without effect. Any suggestions?
In Lightroom Cloud, I had filled up my storage. I purchased “Creative Cloud Files Storage 1 TB”, and see in my app that the storage is there, but I can’t get the sync to re-start. Even worse, a number of images I’ve hard in my account for years are showing as pixelated and will not let me edit them.
i edited a pic in lightroom web on my laptop and when i downloaded it the pic was the same as the original. this had never happened before and idk what has happened please help.
I’m experiencing a sorting issue in Lightroom for iOS when filtering photos by camera type/model.My photos are normally displayed in the correct chronological order. However, when I apply a filter and select a specific camera type/model, the photos are no longer shown in the correct chronological sequence. The order becomes mixed up, even though the sorting setting has not been changed.Once I remove the camera type filter, the photos appear in the correct order again.This seems to be specifically related to sorting when a camera type/model filter is applied.
Hello everyone. How do I turn a photo into black and white whilst retaining one colour?
Outlines like this are around every area I click. I’m on my windows pc and I don’t remember this before.
Hay un problema con el uso de la ia, quiero eliminar manchas con inteligencia artificial de una foto boudoir y me dice que no lo puedo hacer, que revise las normas. Es una foto de una chica semidesnuda, no hay desnudes explicita ni es contenido pornografico. ya me paso varias veces y es muy molesto
My Mac’s hard drive is maxed out - so much so that I can’t do the latest OS update. I’ve already deleted old LR Classic libraries and am looking around to see what I can free up. I don’t use LR on the web or mobile/iPad - can I delete the 1gb’s worth of Mobile Downloads.lrdata without mucking anything else up? Any other suggestions how to free up LR or Adobe-related space? I’ve already deleted Photoshop as I rarely use it and can re-install it if I need it.Thanks in advance
Every time I try to select subject Lightroom either says it can't be found or does something very weird with the mask, screenshot included. The red lines across are what it has done to select that subject. I have never had this issue before so I assume it's a bug.
Ich finde kein Menü mehr, um das Wasserzeichen auszuwählen, zu poitionieren, oder die Transparenz einzustellen.
Ive been problem solving for an hour but cant figure it out. I've tried everything I could find on Google and the Adobe software help page. But cant figure it putz please help me.
Please change Lightroom so it JUST OPENS THE FILE if you previously worked with it in Lightroom.It is not helpful that if you try to open a previously worked file all that happens is a message: Previously Added. Fantastic! How about OPENING THE FILE?Instead the user has to go hunt for the image in the Lightroom Library. Lightroom of course knows where it is ,,, it found it and said: Previously Added instead of JIST OPENING THE FILE.The user has to determine the date. Now navigated into the Lightroom Library where there may be hundreds of images to sift through for a particular day.It is a five minute waste of User time to hunt for the image and then open it in from the Library. When all Lightroom has to do is OPEN THE FILE that it already located in the Library.I have this waste of time and efficiency over and over and over. I regularly need to re-crop photos for other needs, or adjust color, or simply opened it in Lightroom days, weeks, ago and decided not to use it then and now nee

An update to Lightroom new changed the behavior of the C for crop shortcut. It used to switch the view to Fit so you could see the whole image and decide what to crop. Now it stays in zoomed view, and this is really messing up my workflow. Please add an option to Fit when switching to crop mode.
I have been processing my pictures in Lr Classic, with good results. I wanted to take advantage of the generative expand feature, so I switched to the cloud-based Lr for one image I was dismayed to learn that I could not then open or export my expanded image in or to Lr Classic, but figured I would just process and print from Lr. I was further dismayed to learn that there was no print module in cloud Lr, but that I would have to export the image to my computer (a Macbook Pro M4) and print from there. However, the exported image is of appallingly poor quality for the A3-sized print I want to make. Playing around with the limited settings in the export module did not significantly improve the results. Am I missing something? Is there a way to export a sharp, high-quality, high pixel image from cloud Lr?
In the Presets panel, under Recommended, I do not see the preset categories (Warm, Dark, Bright, Cinematic, HDR, etc.) that appear in Adobe's documentation and other users' screenshots. The app is fully updated, I've already compared it with Lightroom on my phone, and the feature is missing only on my iPad. I'd like to know if this is a bug, a staged rollout, or an account-specific issue.
