Hello,
I'm new into Lightroom Classic. but "the Lightroom Classic the Missing Faq" helped me so much to use the software. Thank you Victoria.
I use a windows desktop as main and a windows laptop when traveling, I need to synchronize LC on both. Based on Victoria I choose the COPY/SYNC (E.G...
After consolidating everything, I saw that I have about 500K metadata conflicts. As I've written before, I fully subscribe to the idea that a DNG file is the ultimate, self-contained resource of both all data and metadata. I want to keep all programs editing DNG files to save their metadata...
I typically use LrC most frequently, but have had times where I used Mobile, Cloud, and Web to rate and sort images that are in synced LrC collections. That has worked well for me in the past. I can still make changes to synced images, Collections, metadata, and whatever I like in LrC and those...
I always knew that the DNG file is the only source of truth, and LrC edits must be written back into it. But for years, in fact since the 2007 Beta, I only used LrC so it was not necessary and my catalogs were not set to write edits back into the XMP inside the DNG.
However, as the 13.3 LrC...
I have an interesting challenge I'd like to ponder. While my LrC was wedged for a year, I've developed an alternative workflow with Photo Mechanic Plus and Capture One. Now my LrC is back and I find myself alternating between workflows on a whim.
One thing I do most of the time is rate photos...
I have LR Classic running on MacBook Pro (2023 with M2 silicon) which syncs 'down' from cloud happily. But it remains uploading metadata of 10 images that were originally imported into cloud (along with several thousand others) via iPad while on a trip. All images from the trip successfully...
A person I am working with synced their iPhone to LrC and also worked a bit with Lightroom Desktop at some point in the past. Both were abandoned (in terms of active use) several years ago. They are interested in disconnecting LrC as completely as possible from Adobe Cloud but all that was...
I've given up LrC syncing to CC/Lr Mobile as too unreliable. Following guidance from here (thanks all) I've closed down all sync'ing and cleard CC.
But recently noticed an issue from the various sync bugs from the past. I revisited processing/export for some of my older photos and vast numbers...
I'm a wedding photographer with one master catalog, and thousands of 'finalized', delivered photos that I keep, and I'm fearing the worst. I kindly ask to not sidetrack this post with a ' use one catalog per job' discussion.
I want to start using the Lr Mobile App for culling and some other...
(Sorry, a long detailed question)
LrC is my main Catalog where I do all editing, it's the "master". But I have for some time setup Collections and sync'd stuff to Lr Mobile (iPhone & iPad) just so I can look at my pics when away from Laptop/LrC).
LrC syncing still seems buggy but in the past it...
Hello,
We're investigating and testing workflows involving several people based on Lightroom Desktop/Cloud in the initial workflow and Lightroom Classic downstream in the process. Based on Adobe's documentation we thought we could "flow" images downstream to end up for final storage in LrC...

Hi,
Have a catalog of 100K+ photos, with about 50K of them synced online that had been working well. Was close to running out of space (90 gb of 100gb allocated).
I realised many of my more recent photos raw photos had been uploaded via an ipad, and hence were counting against my storage as...
Hi Folks,
So we know that PSB files cannot be synced from Classic to the Desktop app. Well, lets just say that after all this time, I figured that out just recently. However, LR Classic will allow you to mark them to sync, but doesn't produce a warning. Yes, I realize the should know better...
Hi
When I unsync a collection (by unticking the sync box next to the collection) that's not within the Sync folder in Lightroom Classic the photos seem to remain in Lightroom (cloud based) i.e. they are not syncing, is this normal or should they disappear?
fyi - if I unsync a collection that's...
For me, the only Images that remain in the Adobe Cloud have synced from LrC.
I do use the my iPhone camera with Lightroom Mobile, I may import from Photos and I do import from memory cards to Lightroom Mobile on my iPad whilst travelling but in all cases I move the downloaded images to my...
My catalog has 338,000 pictures (total 5TB on disc); the catalog itself is about 5GB.
Since late last year, performance has been egregiously bad.
I have several theories:
1. Release of 14.0 with sync reengineered, and "performance" improvements.
2. Using a new camera, with larger RAW files (50MB...
Hi,
I have been with LR almost since the beginning and after a while you get into a rut and stop following more recent developments. That certainly happened to me. I glanced at LR for mobiles and such but since it was limited in what it could do I forgot about it. Now I get the impression Adobe...
Hello all,
I just tested johnbeardy 's Syncomatic plugin in one of my catalogues and what I am finding it useful for is syncing the keywords I assign to single different image crops in virtual copies back to the master.
Say I have four different crops of a master, I assign their own keywords to...
I'm trying to be chilled here and not too critical of LrC.
I recently had to create a new catalog - long story short it got corrupted. After several rounds of creating a new catalog and then "Import from catalog" from the old catalog I am back up and running. However as much fun as that was...
As I get closer to retiring, I'm trying to clean up all the different subscriptions and apps I've been using over the year. Way back when, I moved from Apple Aperture to LRC and still twitch with pain when I think about all the metadata I lost. I've got 65k photos (400Gb) or more over the years...
Hi all,
I have a collection in Lightroom Classic called "Landscapes" and it is synced with my Adobe Portfolio site. However, I just added a photo to the collection, but it will not appear in Portfolio. I've tried "Reset from Lightroom" on the Pages menu in Portfolio, but it still doesn't show...
Greetings. I have a red tag on the Cloud icon in LR version 8. My Library is / was stored on a 4T HDD. (D:) . I replaced with a 4T SSD Since then the Red tag has appeared. LR is working correctly. No images are found searching for "errors" How do I find the Invalid "item...
I’m running 13.3 on Ventura 13.7 Mac, and now having no luck sharing a couple of new collections publicly. “Generating link” spins endlessly, and new “synced” collections don’t appear in my LRm or desktop LR as older ones do.
Similarly, dare I update to Sonoma? Sequoia is out for me due to...
Given that videos don't sync from LrC to the ecosystem, errrgh, what is the most practical way for me to view (and then share) LrC videos on/from my tablet, which in my case is an Android running LR Mobile? Do I really have to export/connect/drag/drop?
I'm running Windows 11 on my PC. Are...
