LRC won't retain in preferences anything I put in, all goes back to default. Do you store presets with catalog? If so, did the upgrade foul that up and the new upgraded catalog does not, or is located away from where those presets are stored??? Another member had that issue.   ... View more

Huhhh???   Per: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/system-requirements.html The MACOS requirement is macOS Ventura (version 13.1) or later, So LrC v14.1 should wotk on Ventura 13.7.1.   If you open an existing catalog and you get an error that the catalog is too new, then you hve an old LrC version, and a new LeC catalog.   Do you have more than one computer and are you attempting to open a catalog on an external hard drive that both computers can use? Perhaps with different LrC versions? Do you somehow have two copy's of LrC on one computer? (new version and old version like v13 and v14)   LrC v14 will start to open a v13 catalog, it will upgrade it, winding up with a new catalog. LrC v13 cannot open a v14 catalog.     ... View more

Ah that screenshot helps. I completely misunderstood.   Bring up a photo in the develop module, and over in the Presets Panel, click on the + symbol as to Manage the presets. Did many get unchecked?   /Edit/Followup/ Yes, if you stored your presets with the catalog, and then the file with the stored presets is missing, then what you are seeing could be caused by the stored presets going missing.   Did the folder location for the current catalog change? Could you copy from the previous folder to the new folder (the presets) if that is the case. Or perhaps the preference file is corrupt.   ... View more

Please post your System Information as Lightroom Classic (LrC) reports it. In LrC click on Help, then System Info, then Copy. Paste that information into a reply. Please present all information from first line down to and including Plug-in Info. Info after Plug-in info can be cut out as that is just so much dead space to us non-Techs and it takes up vast amounts of scroll space making the reply less readable and less likely that others will bother with your post.

To: naldeau49 "sheesh, what a friggin' disappointment. the installed update which is called 14.1 release did not fix the copy/paste settings bug"   Have you given Adobe a Chat?   Contact Adobe. This via a Chat. Before doing so, prepare your notes and information ahead of time as to be more efficient in communicating. Your info that you have posted in your Discussion is a start for the description, and probably have a copy of your LrC /Help/System Info/ as a text document on hand, so that you can paste or attach that into the chat.   To accomplish the Chat, bring up an Adobe webpage, and click on the Chat button. (see image below) This will start a Chat. At first the Chat will be with a chatbot, Typing “Agent” into the chat text field will bypass the initial chatbot. If an agent does not enter the chat then be assertive in requesting an actual Adobe Tech join in the chat.   In the Chat include (as mentioned above) a description of the issue, and probably your System Info. And include a link to your discussion.   You may want to ask for a phone call.   And please keep notes so that you can share them in your post for others to see.   For example, bring up: https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html   and click on the Chat button, typically found in bottom right corner       ...

So on to PS stall When I try to open Photoshop on it's own AND lightroom is active, the same happens. Ok, what occurs (time wise) in the following different workflows   1. An abnormal workflow (starting PS first) that might get around the issue:   LrC not started PS not started Start PS Start LrC In LrC, Edit in PS   2. A common workaround (Starting PS instead of letting LrC open it) when PS will not load properly via LrC Edit in PS:   LrC not started PS not started Start LrC Start PS In LrC, Edit in PS   3.

Your smartphone (or camera) recording of that LrC screen, is basically useless. I cannot actually describe how bad due to community guidelines (language)   It appears you have Windows. See the following on how to record in Windows 11:   https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/learning-center/how-to-record-screen-windows-11   Ok, one thing I think I can see in that video is that you are selecting ADD. An old, never documented bug that can occur is an oddity where using Add fails to provide an error message when a very specific issue previously occurred, That being the destination in a previous import was change outside of LrC (a folder moved, renamed, or deleted). Had you attempted COPY, a helpful error message may occur, but oddly not if you use Add. This is odd as the destination should not matter with ADD, but...   What you can attempt is to try and import one photo via Copy, making sure to change the destination before clicking on Import. Then try an import again via Add.   This should no longer be a bug, should have been fixed, but...   I give this about a 10% chance of being your issue. ... View more

Time Machine may not be the best way to backup a LrC catalog, or the Photos. At the very least you may be backing up to the same hard drive as your working files. Backup practices should be based on 3-2-1 concept, Backup to two different media plus one off site media. Typically two hard drives (including external, and can include NAS) other than the hard drive the working files are on, and one off site hard drive (that you ship off site) or the cloud.   ...

When I open LRc it will force close immediately I try to work on an image; even if I do nothing an error will occur and the system will close.

Odd, looks like you have a filter on for four stars, yet three star images are shown. Turn off all filters, both in the library filters (   File > Library Filters > Filter By   ) bar shown in that screenshot. And in the menu.
