    LrC Collections Not Synching with Cloud

    Frequently my LrC Collections will stop synching with Cloud. The little double headed arrows next to the list of the Collections Folders will mysteriously disappear and nothing short of rebooting Lightroom can fix the problem. When this happens, I try to Pause Synching and Resume Synching; the...

    Mac OS 12 or Mac OS 13 on a 2017 iMac?

    I have a 2017 Retina 5K iMac running OS 12.7.2 with 40GB of RAM and a Radeon Pro 575 4 GB video card. I've updated Lightroom Classic to 13.1 and it seems to run well, albeit slowly at times. I recognize that my GPU is not up to the task, but a new computer is not in my immediate future, so I...

    Best Order in Which to Apply Image Enhancements

    New technology keeps coming quickly to Lightroom Classic; so much so that I don't know the best order in which to apply the many new features. I'm working on a high ISO high megapixel RAW Canon R5 image of a bird separated from its background by a reasonable distance. So I want to use Enhanced...

    Autostacked HDRs put DNG on Bottom of Stack

    Thanks for the help. I updated and rebooted LrC and now the stacks do have the DNG file on top. I should have thought about this in the first place.

    Autostacked HDRs put DNG on Bottom of Stack

    I just got back from a trip where I took a large number of three image exposure bracketed HDRs. I used autostacking to gather the three images into stacks, then did a batch HDR of all the stacks. I wind up with a number of four image stacks. Inevitably the HDR is at the bottom of the stack, so...

    How to Get Photos from Lightroom Mobile (Android) to Lightroom Classic

    Trying to follow your suggestions, I tried all the stuff you recommended, and nothing seemed to change the situation. So in frustration I decided to reboot LrC and the computer. When everything booted back up and I relaunched LrC, then Lightroom started recovering the photos. I guess I should...

    How to Get Photos from Lightroom Mobile (Android) to Lightroom Classic

    I don't use my cell phone to take photos too often, but am trying to learn how. I just took 40-50 photos on my Pixel 6a Android phone using the Lightroom Mobile camera function. I can see (and if I chose to do so, edit) the images on the phone, but can't figure out how to move the images from...

    Lightroom Classic Very Slow Responding

    Thanks. My .lrcat file is 3.8GB I'm updating LrC now. I always like to give new versions of software some "soak time" to see if any problems arise, but it appears there are no significant issues with 11.5 so it is about time. Same with Monterey. With a computer as old as mine is, I am...

    Lightroom Classic Very Slow Responding

    I have an old but reasonably powerful iMac. (All its specs are listed below.) I'm running LrC 11.4.1. My catalog has about 290,000 images and the catalog and associated files are on an external 2TB Sandisk SSD. About 600GB of image files are also on this drive. When I am doing editing of...

    Auto Stacking not working as expected

    Thank you. The suggestion to assign color labels then filtering then auto-stacking seems to work.

    Auto Stacking not working as expected

    I have about 5000 images in a folder. I want to auto stack a selection of about 110 of these images so I can do a batch HDR converstion. I go into Grid view of the Library module and select those 110 images. Then I go into Photo > Stacking > Auto-Stack by Capture Time. When the window opens, I...

    Moving LrC Catalog Back to Internal Drive

    Thank you! That seems simple enough. I do; however, already have an old Lightroom catalog on the internal disk. (This was the one I used to use before trying the exernal SSD. So it is out dated since I have been working on the external catalog.) I presume I can simply delete this old folder and...

    Moving LrC Catalog Back to Internal Drive

    I currently have my LrC catalog on an external SSD . I want to move the catalog back to my internal SSD. (For reasons detailed in the paragraph below) What is the best way to move the catalog? I have eight files in the Lightroom folder. Which files inside the Lightroom folder should I copy...

    Lightroom becomes unresponsive when using Import Dialog

    Thanks, Johan, these sound like good suggestions I may need to try. First, I am expecting a call back from Adobe tomorrow. They are reviewing my issue which was not resolved during an online chat several days ago and Adobe finally scheduled a time to talk on the telephone. I hope they can be...

    Lightroom becomes unresponsive when using Import Dialog

    A few days ago I posted a request for assistance but haven’t gotten any responses. In the interim I have done some more troubleshooting, so I’d like to rephrase/clarify my issue. Six weeks ago I moved my Lightroom Classic (11.2/11.3) catalog from my iMac internal SSD to an external Sandisk...

    Import Dialog on Mac Hangs. Spinning pinwheel goes on forever.

    I've done some more experimenting. It seems that the problems are associated with my catalog which is on an external 2TB SSD. My iMac only has a 512GB SSD inside it, and my catalog is rather large, so the previews occupy a substantial portion of the storage. A month ago I bought a SanDisk 2TB...

    Import Dialog on Mac Hangs. Spinning pinwheel goes on forever.

    I'm running Lightroom Classic 11.3 on a 2017 Retina 27" iMac (see specs below). Recently I started getting hangs when I try to import images using the Import dialog. I click on Import > Source > EOS_Digital. Thumbnails open up, but then when I try to drag the slider down to move though the...

    Can't Delete Previews

    I think I understand the problem. I'm going to do as Johan suggested and delete the lrdata folder; then change the preview size. Next I am going to start shopping for an external 2TB SSD to connect to the computer to use for my Lightroom catalog and previews. Once I do this I can transfer my...

    Can't Delete Previews

    Thanks to all so far for the help. There is nothing in my trash to empty. A screenshot is attached. My catalog has files going back to 2005 but a random sampling of files from the last 5 or 6 years has file sizes of 5472x 3648 and 6720x4480 A new computer... wouldn't that be nice, but who has...

    Can't Delete Previews

    My 2017 27inch Retina iMac has only a 500GB SSD and about 200GB of it is taken up with Lightroom Previews. I decided to delete the 1:1 previews, but Lightroom won't let me. I tried Lightroom>Library>Previews>Discard 1:1 Previews and then I clicked on Discard All. The status bar showed Discard...

    Can Kernel Panic be Caused by Lightroom?

    Thanks. I'll try resetting the memory in the slots and see if that makes a difference. I guess I can also try updating the OS to Big Sur. My computer is a little old, but I think it is still capable of managing Big Sur.

    Can Kernel Panic be Caused by Lightroom?

    I know, but why would the apparent error path say "Application Support/Adobe/*/CCLibrary.app/Contents/MacOS/CCLibrary". ? Is there a CCLibrary app somewhere on my computer that needs to be updated, removed or fixed?

    Can Kernel Panic be Caused by Lightroom?

    I have recently gotten a couple of system crashes with my iMac (specs below). Previously I noted (and reported here) some high CPU overloads when LrC 11.1 was downloading and building profiles. When looking at the error log for the crash it appears I have been experiencing a Kernel Panic. The...

    CPU Overload When Downloading and Building Previews

    I apologize if this has been asked before, but I tried several searches and didn't get any results. Perhaps I didn't search for the right things. Nevertheless here is my question: I have recently bought a Canon R5 with 45 megapixel files. When I am downloading images to Lightroom and building...

    Deleting a Duplicate Catalog?

    Some time ago I created a catalog that is different from my main LrC catalog. I think I probably created this (mostly) duplicate catalog when I was traveling, but so much time has passed that I can't remember why or wherefore. So now I have my main catalog and this other catalog on my desktop...
