Today, since doing the most recent update, all my thumbnails and previews are missing. Yet according to the finder and LR itself I have more than I requested. Once we had the ability to ask LR to not go over a certain size for the Preview files, it has never gone down as they promised, yet...
Question/suggestion re repairing catalog when upgrading.
Upgrade issues - I had trouble upgrading (only discovered recently) probably to v13 and then 13.3, necessitating a recent roll back to v12 and rebuilding. See my earlier post -...
Today, when I opened Lightroom Classic, I noticed that all the thumbnails were missing. Anytime I click on a folder, the thumbnails are blank, and Lightroom begins rebuilding only the thumbnails visible on the screen. As I scroll down, new blank thumbnails appear, and Lightroom starts rebuilding...
I'm running LR Classic 13.3 on a 2021 MacBookPro w/M1Max, 64GB RAM, 4TB SSD. Library is about 200k images stored on a very fast Thunderbolt 3 SSD RAID 0. Not currently synching to LR Mobile/Cloud.
Under 13.2, everything was working fine - stable and fast. In Grid mode, thumbnails displayed...
Hi,
I've noticed that since few weeks LR has some issues with the previews of my HEIC photos... I build 1:1 previews during import and I've noticed that after moving into the develop module and applying some change then when I go back to the library module the preview is not updated and it even...
Hi all,
I was checking if some previews (standard and smart) were missing and was astonished that LR thinks it has to create new previews for the majority of my 41k images. I selected all images and then "create standard/smart previews". If a preview is already available, the image is skipped...
My LR catalog contains 100k+ images/files.
I tried selecting all the files and deleting both Previews and Smart Previews but Previews.lrdata file is 245GB. I think it was slightly larger before I deleted the previews.
Is this a possible size due to the large amount of images in my catalog or...
Hi there,
I just figured out, LR (12.1) is storing the previews in 2 different folders (Win 11).
One is: User-Me-AppData-Roaming-Adobe-Lightroom (right now 14,3 Gb)
Second is: User-Me-Pictures-Lightroom (right now 41,1 Gb)
I know, I should delete the previews when the folder gets too big.
But I...
I think I have read everything I can find about Previews and I've just about decided I don't need them, despite every LR article that suggests how much they speed up work in the Library and now in even the Develop module. But my computer is fast and generates a 1:1 preview almost instantly...
Let me explain my problem quickly. I have the 20Gb Lightroom Classic plan and I'm more than happy with the fact that I get only 'light' previews in the cloud for using with my iPad or iPhone. Now when I travel, I take only my iPad to transfer photos to, and of course, the full res RAWs will be...
Does this make sense?
I imported the photos from folder "LR Classic Photos" to a new instal of LrC.
The photos take up 144 GB.
The LrC previews take up 97 GB.
This seems nuts to me but thought I'd ask.
Thanks for help--
I have just upgraded to a MacBook M1. I can export to Photoshop (which I need to run under Rosetta due to the plugins I use). When I save the photo in Photoshop (tiff) it imports fine into LR except that the preview in Grid mode and in the navigator pain in Loupe (but not the main picture)...
I apologise for both my lack of knowledge and lengthy post but I feel this information may be useful to many people in my situation. Any replies will be kindly received.
SCENARIO:
I want to store all of my photos in one place, catalogue them with keywords to find images quickly and edit to...
Hello! First post here on the LR Queen! Just looking for a little assistance...I upgraded my camera over the holidays to Canon 6D mark II, and ever since I have had a very hard time getting photo previews to load on the Library screen in LR. I have updated to LR 9.2 version, and previews...
Hello all,
is there a way to force build all the video previews for a catalog without going scrubbing over every thumbnail?
Also, are the video thumbnail previews stored in the Previews.lrdata container?
I am asking because I have a separate catalog for video that I would like to copy from...
Hi I've been flummoxed lately. When I take an image and edit in PS it comes back OK with a preview in library module but as I'm usually in Develop module it's not automatically updating the preview so I'm seeing the shot before edit. Driving me crazy! Any ideas?

Hi all
I'm very much an amateur and casual user of LR Classic on a Win 10 lap-top. I only shoot in jpg format. I have a collection of approx 40,000 photos. I started using LR Classic about 2 years ago. My Lightroom Catalog is named Catalog-2.
My problem is that my hard disc is being swamped...
I've been generating 1:1 Previews always, per Peter Krogh (and embedded full-size previews into DNGs as I convert to it). Now I have a dedicated SSD RAID 5 array for the catalog connected to the desktop iMac Pro, which uses about 2.5TB -- 6GB for the catalog itself, 2.2TB for Previews and 0.3TB...
Hi Folks
I’m considering moving from 6 Perpetual to 7 Classic on MacOS 10.13. Obviously I’d like to do this with a minimum of fuss and I have a few questions.
I’d like to keep 6 for a while as a fallback. I have all application preferences, settings, presets, templates etc backed up.
Q1 Does...

Hi, thanks in advance to anyone who can help me!
I have a bunch of 1:1 previews from a hard drive that was damaged, so I have no originals. I also lost the .lrcat files that porganize the 1:1 previews. I have installed the preview recovery script Adobe recommends, but because I have no lrcat...
I'm considering a workflow where I import travel photos into MacBook Pro with a temporary catalog, following Julianne Konst's excellent tutorial.
One thing which seems missing is whether previews will be imported. I like to build both 1:1 previews and Smart Previews in my master catalog, to...

I work on CC / iMac and when I import I build 1:1 previews. Why is it that 30% - 70% of the time when I change to the next photo the "Loading" message remains for 2 to 6 seconds? The fact it is none or all of the time baffles me. What is it doing?
Thanks.
