Note that there is no update to, and there will not be any more updates to, the non-subscription Lightroom 6 application – the last update was Lightroom 6.14, released in December, 2017. If you update and have issues that you can’t resolve, here are instructions on how to revert back to an earlier version. You can monitor reports of issues and report your own issues on Adobe Lightroom Classic bug and feedback site.

There are other sporadic issues, but it looks like the update should go well for most of you, so I would go ahead and update. There are a small number of users still reporting performance issues moving from Library to Develop and using the adjustment brush – though if you didn’t have this issue with 7.3, it doesn’t look like you would with 7.4. Update June 25: Things are looking pretty quiet. Otherwise try signing out and signing in again.

If it’s still not there and it’s the day of release, then try later. To update to Lightroom Classic 7.4, go to Help>Updates, and in the CC app that opens, click on Update next to “Lightroom Classic CC” (NOT Lightroom CC or Lightroom CC 2015.) If the update is not listed in the CC app, click on the three dots in the top right and choose Check for App Updates. If I hear of serious issues with this release I will post them here in this section – please check here rather than emailing me. Given that 7.3 and 7.3.1 released with significant bugs, I think that it’s not a bad idea to wait a week or two before updating to 7.4 to see if others experience issues, unless you need the update urgently.

The Classic 7.4 update contains significant feature enhancements, support for new cameras, new lens profiles and bug fixes. Go to Catalog Settings > General, and configure the backup catalog schedule (I have mine set to run on every. Adobe continues on its faster pace of releasing updates every two months rather than three with the release today of Lightroom Classic version 7.4 (along with updates to Lightroom CC desktop, iOS and Android). Launch Lightroom Classic, and go to Preferences > General, and configure your Default catalog to be the specific catalog you want to open each time you launch Lightroom Classic (don’t use Load Most Recent).
