I've just had this problem with a newly installed Lightroom in Win11. I couldn't close the Welcome window because "Got it" was below the screen. I finally went to Start-Settings-Display- scale. I scaled down so apps were smaller. Then I did a Ctrl Alt Delete to close Lightroom (I couldn't close it normally because it wouldn't close with the Welcome window open). Then I reopened Lightroom and before it had time to pop up the welcome window I hit minimise, top right hand corner, so that the LR couldn't fill the screen. Hallelujah! I posted this here because someone else with the same problem might go searching like I did and end up here. ... View more

As @KR Seals explained in his post, the "fix" is to adjust the Control Panel>Keyboard settings. Moving the Repeat Rate slider towards the "Slow" end of the scale should do the trick. But note that the rapid movement through the images when holding down the Forward or Back arrows isn't really changed (that's the way it's supposed to work), but what does change is that with the correct setting the movement through the images stops immediately when you lift your finger off the key, i.e. it doesn't carry on scrolling through the images even after the finger has been lifted. ...

Absolutely agree! Is there a facile way to create an adjustment, and then either have it at the ready, at least for that particular scene in Camera Raw, or better yet, to name it, store it, and always havfe it available?    ... View more

We're not Adobe here in the discussion part of this forum, we are other Lightroom Classic users, we didn't make the decision to change the interface, we can't make changes to the interface. You might want to tell this to Adobe by posting in the "Ideas" portion of the Adobe forums. ... View more

Hi Rob,   both source and destination are on the ssd harddrive and have read write permission. Photos are greyed out in import window and I am moving the files.  thx  Eric-Jan ... View more

Often, when people who complain about file size, on examination it's often discovered they are creating a much larger file that they need to. For example, posters that have to be read from a distance do not need 300PPI resolution, a much lower one will suffice, with a corresponding huge reduction in file size. ... View more

your Nik drivers are a plug in so Photoshop just points new installs to that old folder... yes you can remove them (plug ins will stop working) and yes Windows is bloated and will become unstable without 12 G of free space on your C drive   Windows likes 10% of the system drive to be free and will not run certain tools unless it has that space... other software like Nvidia or any 3D will also need lots of free system space to work so your best options now are; replace the old 120G SSD with something bigger or reinstall a fresh copy of Windows only loading software on the C drive that actually needs to be there... having Adobe software on a SDD is pointless mate but good luck ...

Are you connecting your card while still in your camera? I have read that that can confuse the Import process somewhat . . . ... View more

Yes to all that. As long as you're in the "Users" folder, and not in "Program Files", deleting will do no harm (but obviously, apply a bit of common sense as you go...) And I do agree that this stuff should be deleted with an uninstall, but it's not, so you have to do it yourself. WinDirStat will be a great help, get it. ... View more

Hi all Just a quick update having been in live chat the last few days trying to get this resolved. It would seem the issue is to do with my external hard drive causing this (but it never used to).  I have now got a new external drive and will be using that to see if the issue repeats itself. Will update and let you know what happens when I use it. ... View more

Interesting I must check whether its set up to sync or not. I find 7.3.1 a complete dog of a lightroom version. Very slow importing photographs and forever freezing up and  having to shut it down. Maybe I have unreasonable expectations but I expect when I upgrade my lightroom to the newest version that it just works. I think its getting more and more bloated as a piece of software and I'm starting to question its value at all. ... View more

I sympathize with the failures. I agree there could be more informative feed-back. If you can export the book to a PDF, then could you investigate sending the PDF to Blurb (or another Book printer)? Or export you photos to a working folder and use Blurb's 'online' program (BookWright?) (or another Book printer) Re new photos for the Book- You do not need to make the Book Collection a 'Target Collection', not necessary!. You can mouse-drag any selected photos in the grid view onto ANY collection in the Collection Panel, and that includes a Book Collection. ... View more

Same issue time to WAKE UP Adobe!  This is not freeware it is now crapware!!!  You need to stop adding thing and focus on stability, Lightroom cc classic IS NO LONGER USABLE!!! ... View more

I find that I have a major issue with 7.3.1 and my dual display configuration.  If I turn my secondary display on or off while Lightroom is open it invariably freezes up.  If often see the "shadow" window during that time.  I've never had this stability issue with Lightroom before the most recent builds. ...

The Adobe version is definately not as good as Canon's but can be adjusted manually closer to it. And YOU can make a default profile that is better than Adobe's, and better than Canon's.! Make YOUR profile to your liking and make it the default profile (or a Preset) that Lightroom uses for your photos.

I take lots of photos and have relatively big image files. I don't have these problems. Lightroom works as expected. (By the way, lots of people upgrade their cameras to bigger photos, and they don't touch their computer hardware, and they wonder why Lightroom is getting slower ... it's not Lightroom, it's the hardware can't keep up with the bigger files) ...

I'm having the same trouble. The other day it took over 4 hours to import 2 and half thousand photos. Today it took almost 3 hours to import just over 2000. I had to go onto my laptop to work so my desktop could just do that. Otherwise it slows everything down on my computer to a crawl. I can't do anything else on the computer while it is importing. It was never like this before. It is driving me nuts. I'm thinking of not using Lightroom anymore for this reason. ... View more
