r/Lightroom

This is primarily if you have Nvidia GPU. I don't know what the AMD equivalent is. However, I found a solution to my sluggish LRC. Basically I was getting stutters and lag all over the place. Even just moving the mouse without editing anything caused it to stutter. Turns out it might be a refresh rate issue. This fixed a sluggish Lightroom Classic on both my gaming desktop pc and my laptop.

go to Nvidia Control Panel > Manage 3D settings. Setup a program setting for Lightroom Classic. Scroll down to "Monitor Technology" and select "Fixed Refresh".

Would appreciate if people experiencing the stuttering tried this and see if it helps at all.

What settings are you guys using for uploading your photos on instagram? I export my photos in 300 ppi in Lightroom, but I find that when they’re uploaded on instagram the quality is terrible. I already have the “upload in high quality setting” turned on on the instagram app, idk what else to do. Any tips ?

I’ve been really enjoying editing in LR, but the interface runs extremely slowly (not a hardware issue, have checked drivers and this PC can run all sorts of other photo/video editing software so I’m starting to think it’s just LR). Thinking of hopping across to Classic as that doesn’t seem to have the same issues for me.

One thing I really like is the folder structure I’ve got for my library in LR. Is there any way to hop across such that my existing raws/edits are just there, ready to go? Would like this transition to be as seamless as possible.

Side question, how are the native denoising/masking/object removal tools in Classic? I really like LR’s AI-powered tools for small touch-ups and improving photos shot at high ISO.

So I have seen a couple of people that have ran test on the new Neo with lightroom but they have been pretty quick and havent seen much from people that have used it for a month or two. I have a 2020 Macbook Pro and Lightroom and Lightroom classic kind of run on it but it takes ~1hr to do basic stuff like lens correction and maybe a few other minor edits so I have been having to take around my 17in gaming laptop and lugging that thing around is getting old.

For a bit of context of what I do, me and the wife travel around with a hot air balloon team all summer and do a lot of photography of that. There are a few week + long events we go to and live out of our small camper (think an XL teardrop) during that time, so using a gaming laptop has a few problems with it. some of those issue are it is very large, puts off a lot of heat in an already hot environment and battery life is sucks. I dont do any heavy editing while on the road, but I do like to go though and tag photos for when I get home and maybe make a few small edits so I can send the pictures to people for them to share out on social media and such. Like mentioned above I have a 2020 Mac book that my old employer bought me back in 2020, so they kind of cheaped out on it it is an 15 with 8GB of ram and it pretty much will not run lightroom anymore. I have been looking at finding something better since last summer and was thinking about getting an iPad but now that the Neo is out I think that might be better than the iPad and it is cheaper too and since this will be a computer that only gets used for 4ish months I dont really want to spend a ton of it.

So my question is will the Neo work better than a 2020 MBP for LR and LRC?

Hi, some time ago all the icons in the filmstrip photos disappeared and I can find where or how to toggle it back on.

It was pretty useful for me because I could see which images where already edited, resized or denoised and now I have to go to the library every time i want to see that, even though it's not that hard to do I more click, still it would be useful to have it back on.

I'm new to this software. I was editing photos as usual, but now when I try to import another photo, the program doesn't show any photos in the folder. I want to import the photo from my PC, not an external hard drive or flash drive. It's probably a simple mistake, but I don't know what to do. I really appreciate your help!

Anyone know how to stop this? Never had this issue before, where I go to export a batch of photos, and if I used AI removal on any of them, then it has to update/re-render ALL of the photos in the export batch. Adds a significant amount of time and I don't want to have to go through every photo that actually used AI removal to make sure the new render is fine.

PC is a 9700x and RTX 5080.

I was creating a large number of previews and I wouldnt say it was generating them considerably slow, but I was hoping to speed up the process.

My CPU will hover between 20% - 70%, while my GPU is between 2% and 15%. Is there any maximize GPU usage and generate previews faster? I've enabled using GPU for preview generation; I've disabled Hardware accelarated GPU Scheduling, and overided the high DPI setting for the application.

Thanks in advance!

For example, let's say I have 100 images.

These images were bundled into 10 sheets each and stacked.

Now I have 10 stacked images and I'm going to stack some of them again.

What should I do?

even though i am new to edit in classic, i want to know how can i get a certain type of color tone or devlope a editing style? i have few people who edit really well but idk how they get colors so subtle

My LRC is saying missing photographs, i’ve done everything that anyone has said to do. i’ve clicked find photograph, find folder, synching it (which is wont), moving the folder, renaming it,restarted my computer and LRC, etc. and it’s still gone. I backed it up onto an SSD and it’s nowhere to be found there either. all of my other photos and albums are still on my computer and SSD but this one photoshoot is not, and i haven’t changed anything it was fine yesterday.

The only thing that i’ve noticed is it saying the folder it’s in is invisible but idk if that changes anything.

Please help. I need to get this recovered.

Can they be gone permanently?

Now i can’t even find anything on my hard drive it’s like wiped too. but all of my photos are still in lightroom so im not so worried about this but if anyone know what to do with that id appreciate that too.

I'm trying to import images from my local drive onto my cloud, and while I was editing, I would occasionally make a duplicate of an image and then edit it differently (So they are different photos). When importing to the cloud, it keeps not letting me import all of these images, even though I've tried renaming them completely unrelated names.

Can i pay someone that can help me achieve this colorgrade look? For a canon camera

My old SDR monitor just isn’t cutting it for the HDR stuff I do. Some details - I mainly use this monitor for photo editing, use a Mac and Lightroom/PS mostly, and have calibration gear. I have been very impressed with the new Apple Studio XDR monitor, except for the price aspect. Does anyone know any good competitors to that, mini-led, lots of nits for hdr stuff, etc? The reviews I’ve been reading are confusing and seem to be shilling certain brands depending on which one I’m reading.

Has anyone else had this issue? Sometimes when I am just selecting images to view the photo will rotate on its own, apply random edits, or crop. I press nothing besides the left mouse button and I just noticed this happening today. Pretty annoying! I guess something happened with the most recent update.

Just happened again and for some reason it raised the temperature a ton. I am so confused. All I did was click to another image lol

For some reason I’m unable to convert them on the go.

I have recently gotten into shooting film and am looking for ways to enhance/edit some of my shots. I have the photos after being developed, but they are in JPG format. I have never really used Lightroom and wanted to try out the denoise function, but it is not working. Is this function just not usable with film photography, or are there better ways to clean up film shots that I dont know of yet? An editing method or advice would be greatly appreciated. I have also included one of the photos I really want to enhance.

I have a new (5 months) MACBOOK PRO 5 with 24 GB. I use it primarily for Lightroom Classic and DaVinci. Lately I'm getting the spinning color wheel after just about everythiing I do. In Lightroom, for example, if I click on an image in Grid view and press 5 to give it a rating - I get the wheel. I try to move to the next image - a delay. Edits take longer.

I upgraded to the latest versions of both Tahoe and LRC. Anyone else seeing this?

Anyone in this group use Lightroom AI DeNoise? I’ve been using it for a while now being some sports photos I take are in horrible lighting! These tool greatly helps me out! Improves my photo quality 100! But sometimes I’m applying it up 50/100 at a time,it’s just taking to long! Anyone else deal with these ridiculous wait times and is there anyway to make it run faster? TIA
