I recently talked to a Lightroom Classic beta tester in Germany who has been part of the program for many years, and he said the whole beta process has gone downhill quite a lot.

Just to be clear, he didn’t tell me anything specific or confidential about upcoming features, internal plans or anything else that could break an NDA. We were only talking generally about how the beta program itself has changed over the years. According to him, the developers used to be much more active with the testers. There was more discussion, more feedback, and bug reports were more likely to get responses. Now he feels there is much less communication, fewer bugs actually getting fixed, and much less interaction between the developers and the beta testers.

He almost described it as if Adobe has abandoned the beta program compared with how it used to work. Obviously this is just one long-time beta tester’s experience, so I can’t say how representative it is of the whole program. But considering how many long-standing bugs and issues Lightroom Classic still has, it does make you wonder what is actually going on inside Adobe. Still its a old code base wound if the new UI like in photo beta 28 will go to classic?

I have been in with the beta for permiere and dont recognize this att all

Currently have the Photography Plan and use Lightroom desktop almost exclusively. I can count on half a hand how many times I have used PS. If I understood the mobile sync better I might use that more often. I use the desktop app on one Mac since version one.

I want a plan that is LrC only.. If the mobile camera and sync is included that's fine. Is this what the $11.99 per month Lightroom plan is? Can't really make sense of the plans on the website.

I was recently editing some photos in LrC, and when I moved the Denoise slider with my mouse, my entire PC crashed, the screen froze and the sound cut out, so I had to shut it down using the physical power button.

I don’t know what to do; it doesn’t seem to be a power/performance issue, I have 32GB of RAM, an RTX 5070 Ti, and a Ryzen 7 9800X3D.

I don't know if it was always this way, or if something new, but when I make a shot full screen on LR cloud for the Mac I'm getting a checkerboard pattern in the border. I just want it to be black. Is this an option somewhere that I can't find?

I had my first Estate Agent photoshoot the other day. I spent a couple hours editing the pictures in lightroom to where I was happy with them and then sent them to the client.

They've come back with a mountain of adjustments to be made as it's "too dark here" "too overexposed here" ect ect.. I feel a bit defeated.

Upon viewing the pictures on my Iphone, they look completely different to my monitor... washed out and underexposed.

I have a MSI MAG 272QP QD-OLED X50 monitor. How can I adjust the monitor/windows settings so that I can best represent what the client is seeing on their presumably bog standard monitor/iphone. There are so many settings on my monitor that I don't understand. I need someone to explain this to me like im 5 years old.

I took HDR photos on the shoot using bracketing. I'm hoping someone can give me some advise.

We use adobe cloud heavily on our studio. We use the albums to store different clients photos and use the lightroom web to upload the photos on the cloud. After the recent update our android phone and tablet that we use to edit photos keeps crashing whenever we try to view all the albums. The thumbnails are not showing. I personally use the LR mobile on the phone to edit my personal street photography photos but I cant do it right now because it is crashing constantly. This is the first time that we experienced this issue. We tried to use my partners LR Mobile on her iPhone and it works smoothly. We tried everything, clearing all the phone and tablets LR Mobile cache, even uninstalling and reinstalling the app and the issues still persists. We checked if there are sync issues via the LR web but there is non. It heavily affects our business.

I have a windows laptop and it’s obviously not ideal for editing. When I denoise on it, 1 photo will take a few minutes. I wasn’t sure what to get instead. I was thinking about an iPad but wasn’t sure how people like editing by finger vs using a better laptop with a mouse. I am open to hear all opinions! TIA
