How do I update?
To update, go to Help menu > Updates or click the Update button in the CC app. The update servers take a while to push the updates around the world, to avoid overloading the servers. You can also open the Creative Cloud app, click Update on the left, then click the … icon (top right) and Check for Updates to give it a nudge.
Lightroom Classic book
Lightroom Classic bookThe eBooks for Adobe Lightroom Classic – The Missing FAQ are already updated for these changes, and can be downloaded immediately after purchasing. If you already have a current Lightroom Classic Premium Membership, the updated eBooks are available for download in your Members Area.
I am stilling having these issues. Hope it is fixed in next version when it comes out.
I have noticed three issues with this latest version; wondering if anyone else has seen these.
1. When moving groups of images between file locations the system seems to que up but then just sits there doing nothing. If I click on another folder it seems to release the block and the images move.
2. A similar issue when adding key words to a large group of images. Again the system seems to just sit there and do nothing but if I click on another folder it breaks the lock and key words get added.
3. Finally, when I export images to another file (for example smaller files to use on social media), I can no longer add a watermark to the image. Everything is set up properly on the export dialogue and it always worked in the past.
Thanks.
I’m a little behind with current feedback posts, but that sounds odd. Are you Mac or Windows?
Just started this version for the first time and when I select Import it hangs, goes to not responding.
It say my cat is V10-V11
Is it still happening David? And are you Windows or Mac? Most import dialog hangs are on Windows when an Android device is connected to the computer.
Similar issues to John with Lightroom publishing working for a fewe and then stalling on one and not completing and Catalogue optimisation just hung had to shutdown and try again.
Eeek haven’t noticed it publishing an older edit.
I have just changed my CPU to Auto and updated the driver firmware in case that was the issue before I googled it to find out if I was alone with these issues.
Same here on Windows 10 and I have a few issues:
1-Publishing stalls after a few and doesn’t progress. I stop/restart the publishing and it seems to work but not reliably.
2-When I check my published photos, some of my exposure changes are not updated and it published the exposure from a previous step in my edit history. I need to go back to that correct exposure step and republish. It’s annoying especially when it’s hundreds/thousands of photos because it’s random and I need to go through all my photos again one by one.
3-LR will no longer perform catalog backup. I forced closed and then tried again and it worked.
This is why I’m still searching for a “happy combination” for my iMac 5k 2020 OS 11.6.1 – Brutally slow performance (compared to an old 2015 iMac) with LR 9.4 and PS 22.4.1
I’ve tried going LR 10.3 but it was too buggy. Seems I may be stuck with slow but reliable performance (unless you count the random computer shutdowns………….. that Apple says is not computer-based but application based).
I’m not hearing many other reports. What screen res was the 2015 iMac?
I was getting loads of random restarts on my older iMac, even with nothing other than background stuff running. Interestingly, my M1 Mac mini’s done it a couple of times, but only when my secondary screen is plugged in… I’m wondering about a connection there.
This update has complexity broken the published collections feature for me.
I’m on MacOS 12.2.1 (21D62), Lightroom 11.2, M1 Max Macbook Pro.
When publishing to hard drive the export will hang while underway, with no load on the CPU, the progress of the export just stops. If I cancel the export/publish and try to click the Publish button again, nothing happens.
I have to quit and reopen lightroom repeatedly until I can get through the entire publish/export without it hanging.
Same issue here, on Windows 11 – publish collection hangs after 1-2 photos published. Described also here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-bugs/p-m1-update-publish-collection-stalls/idi-p/12749232
There is a workaround described too – after clicking “Publish”, immediately click on other folder in the Library.
Same issues as Liam and Romualdas, only started after the last update to Lightroom Classic. I am also on Windows 11.
Yup, that’s a confirmed bug, hopefully fixed in the next release. Romualdas’ workaround is good.
Hi, after updating LRC /to 11.2/, Develop module is not working, as well as quick develop in Library. Mac OS 11.6.3 on iMac Pro. Anyone else with the same issue?
I have the same setup (except I’m on Mac OS 11.6.2). I have not updated from 11.1, but after hear what happened to you, I think I will sit this one out. The improvements are really minor. Not worth my time it will take to roll back if there is an issue.
When you say not working, what happens?
I can select all and try to add a title, but the title only appears on the first frame of the selection.
Sounds like you have Target Photo not Selected Photos selected in Metadata. Check our Blog that explains:
https://www.lightroomqueen.com/multiple-metadata-11-0/
for me, this link: GPS Coordinates not copying to other photos
just goes to Creative Cloud home page, not the bug report.
I also tried copying link and pasting in browser and got same result
some of the other bug links work. This one has the same problem as GPS link: Apple Airplay is playing to HomePod Mini
Thanks, Calvin, I’ve corrected them now.
