Lightroom Classic Bug Fix Update and Photoshop MIA
Well, that was fast. Adobe released a new update to Lightroom Classic today that addresses at least 3 bugs:
- Unable to export images from the collection
- Masks from previous versions needed to be updated after the catalog upgrade
- Incorrect shortcuts listed for adjusting Brush size/Feather in the program help
The bulleted links above will take you to the Adobe forum page where the bug was first reported if you need more info on any of them. Likewise, if you encounter any issues when using Lightroom Classic that same Adobe forum is the place to report those problems. That team is very responsive and the forum has other members who are quite knowledgeable and provide assistance with a lot of common problems people encounter.
Photoshop Missing?
One issue I encountered after updating Lightroom Classic to 14.0 and Photoshop to 26.0 is that I lost the ability to send copies from LrC to Ps for editing. Photoshop was just no longer listed as an external editor, as if I didn’t have it installed. Typically this can be fixed by uninstalling and reinstalling Photoshop, so I did that, but it did not restore Ps to the LrC preferences for external editing. So, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling LrC, but that did not work either (that rarely fixes things in my experience, but it is painless so I tried it). As a last resort I reset LrC’s preferences and that actually did the trick (or maybe it was all of the above). So, if this happens to you, give that a try. However, be warned that a lot of annoying things get reset when you reset the preferences.
Here’s hoping your upgrade experience is going smoothly!
3 issues with LR classic update 14
1. Select people doesn’t find people 90% of the time
2. Lens blur doesn’t work 90% of the time
3. Previous doesn’t respond 100%
any thought? should my system be upgraded, reinstall or wait for Adobe to do something
Hi David,
I’m sorry you are having so much trouble with this version. I haven’t experienced those issues. I would suggest posting over at Adobe’s forum so that their tech support folks are aware of the issues you are having: https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic/ct-p/ct-lightroom-classic
And they found an old bug and reimplemented it. Cropping shows the last cropped image for a second…KI seems really smart.
Hi Rob.
Upgraded to Lightroom 14.0 and ACR 17.0 and something peculiar happened. When I select the “Camera Monochrome(Red Filter)” profile, the sliders in the Color Mixer panel get grayed out, same thing for Camera Raw. Is this on purpose?

Hi Fausto, Yes, you need to select one of the Adobe monochrome/B&W profiles in order to get the B&W Mixer panel for adjustments. If you choose a camera matching monochrome profile it will just tell you a monochrome profile was selected.
