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. Describe how the feature will help your workflow. Des
Been using Lightroom for awhile now. How come when you go to remove people , and there are MANY, obvious people, Lightroom either finds 1 or none at all?
Try the new Feather and Edge sliders for more control, better creative effects, and smoother transitions when masking.The latest release brings improvements to the Masking panel sliders: Feather and Edge. Together, they give you more control over how a mask blends into your photo, so you can get smoother transitions, better creative effects, and results that look natural straight out of the gate. New Masking Tools:However you build a mask — Select Subject, Select Sky, Select People, a hand-painted Brush stroke, or a Range Mask — the edge of that mask is what makes or breaks the edit. A boundary that's too hard reads as "obviously edited." A selection that's slightly off grabs a bit too much background, or misses a sliver of your subject. Feather and Edge let you fix both in seconds, right in the panel you're already working in. Spend less time troubleshooting the edges of your mask, and more time on the creative part of the edit.How it Works:Feather softens the edges of your mask, so a
I have an old intel based CD for MAC OS, and got a new apple silicon MacBook, how do I get to transfer the serial number to a apple silicon based version?I can install the version from the App Store but it does not let me enter my serial number.Tahoe version 26.5.2Apple M4 chip set
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.

Sinds de laatste update zijn de zwart wit opties (zoveel mooie om uit te kiezen) bij het tabblad profielen verdwenen. Is dit een bug?
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
I have been editing and exporting pictures with no problem. Then I have been trying to use it and it just freezes. Now it just shut down.
I want to edit in Topaz, so I click on Edit In and select Topaz. Topaz begins to load, but stalls after about an eighth of an inch of progress.
I’m not able to copy/paste info text data (title, caption, location, etc.) like I was able to a couple months ago. Previously, I was able to enter all general data into one photo > copy > gallery mode > select all/multiples > paste. What is the procedure to copy/paste this info? This is a crucial step in my sports photography workflow. Thanks in advance.
I launch the lightroom app, i attempt to edit a photo, the screen goes white for a second and then it says lightroom is not responding.A minute or so later the screen looks normal. I attempt to edit a photo and the scenario repeats. This has happened 10-15x in row. The not responding has always happened but usually only a couple of times in row. I tried to update the app and that didnt work either
I have a DNG from a scanner that fails to allow editing in Lightroom web. Other DNGs from the same scanning session work fine.I have edited previously the picture both in Lightroom app (Android tablet) and web (Chrome 150.0.7871.128 (Build oficial) (64 bits)). No problem switching from one version to another until now.I know that the edits are updated because if I edit in my tablet (I can still use it) I see the edits in web. But if I try to open cropping tool (or any other), the spinner keeps spinning but never opens the file. I’ve checked it in Chrome and Firefox with same result. In console I see: VM15 assets:2 ERROR: The JSX attribute "showUpgrade" was passed to a component declaring a property of the same name. Ignoring the JSX attribute.nrWrapper @ VM15 assets:2VM15 assets:2 preset: getMetadata returned no info, skipping /v2/catalogs/d87293a6359541dbb8c57a7da0eae33d/assets/9510c4c65d0e4c2f840a1dfeedca618c/revisions/1b2873bbdbf04cc29e3d001bcd343ba9/masternrWrapper @ VM15 assets:2a
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...
Hi,I’m having a problem with Adobe Lightroom on Windows.Until recently, the AI Denoise feature worked very quickly for me — processing one nature/wildlife photo usually took only a few seconds.Now, the same process takes around 3–7 minutes per photo. What’s strange is that Lightroom often shows an estimated remaining time of only 9 seconds, but the actual processing continues for much longer.Nothing has changed in the way I use the feature, and I’m processing similar RAW files as before.Could anyone help me figure out what might be causing this?I would especially like to know if this could be related to:GPU acceleration a recent Lightroom update NVIDIA/AMD graphics driver issues Lightroom cache or preferences Windows or GPU performance settingsI’m using Windows.Any advice on what settings I should check or how I can diagnose whether Lightroom is actually using my GPU for AI Denoise would be greatly appreciated.
I was working on a picture, tried to create a new mask and the app crashed not saving any data for the photo I was editing. Do Blackmagic Design apps have this same problem?
Bonjour,Je n’arrive plus à utiliser les clic droit sur l’application Lightroom uniquement, en effet mon curseur “disparait” après une à deux seconde et la fenêtre se ferme... Je ne vois pas d’autres fenêtres en arrière plan.J’ai fait une mise à jour et plusieurs redémarrage mais rien y fait.Merci pour votre aide. Laurent.
My Lightroom is stuck on syncing. I went in and filtered by photos sync status and under syncing its empty (all photos are synced). A parallel problem (not sure if connected) is that I cannot export my recent photos. Can someone tell me how to fix this syncing issue?
no option to add photos images..
Hello! I have a subscription for the "Lightroom 1TB" for almost one year and I mostly use Lightroom Mobile (Android) and web cloud based version. However in the last few days my Android Lightroom app has most of the tools blocked ("greyed", or actually it appears with a blue icon with a star inside), as if I were using a free version. I can use all the tools normally in web cloud version, but the Android app just won't allow me to use the tools, even though I'm logged in the same Adobe account. My current app version is v10.5.4. Already tried deleting cache and reinstalling the app, but didn't work.Thanks in advance for your help.
