Max size for importing pictures

[DcRonny]

Hi,

What would be the maximum size for importing pictures in lightroom CC?

Interesting question. I don't know that there is a maximum size. Why do you ask? If a camera is supported then Lightroom CC should accept the images from that camera.

because i have some 500Mb pictures who wont syncronise

Unless things have changed recently, syncing files >500Mb should be OK. I've certainly got some pano merge files larger than that which have synced correctly. It might depend where you are importing to and thus syncing from, but if you import into LRCC for desktop they should upload and sync properly, though I think there's a 200Mb limit if uploading from LRCC for Web.

I haven't tried uploading files that large recently though (largest was 345Mb, but that was OK).

Thanks for the response, i will try it again

Pretty sure the limits are the same as for Classic. This means that the maximum size is 65000 pixels on a side and 512 megapixels max. Filesize in megabytes is probably limited to the typical 2GB limit of many file formats.
