I'm not observing that misbehavior for the Clone and Heal tools. To make this an actionable bug report, please share a photo with its edits that gets incorrectly identified by the "Has AI Remove" filter. Select the photo, do Metadata > Save Metadata To File, upload it to Wetransfer, Dropbox, Google Drive or similar free service and post the sharing link here. Also share the .xmp sidecar either via the sharing service or attaching it here. Without an easily reproducible test case, Adobe will almost certainly ignore this.

@Michael at UNCP: "Is there any way to this for batches of keywords?" Use the Export Keywords and Import Keywords commands of the Any Tag plugin. Export a CSV of all your keywords, edit the CSV in Excel or Google Sheets, change the person column, save the CSV. Then import back into your catalog.

@Mark316864980bup: "I'm looking for an additional reason for 600 MB growth in the lrcat-data folder. ... 19 in July and 1 in August" Only images denoised in LR 14.4 and later will contribute to the size of the .lrcat-data file. In your case 600 MB / 20 images = 30 MB / image on average. That's well within the expected range of 4 - 56 MB per image. The size depends primarily on the image resolution and the amount of detail (not on ISO). See here for more details: https://www.lightroomqueen.com/community/threads/new-denoise-feature.52986/page-5#post-1355236

[This post contains formatting and embedded images that don't appear in email. View the post in your Web browser.] I think that's a very good idea. The Any Filter plugin can do a pretty good of that by searching History steps for an "edit" step that occurred in the last n days: This query won't find DNGs created by Photo Merge, but that could be added to the query by looking for DNG's whose names contain "pano" or "hdr" with an Import history step in the last n days. Obviously not as simple as having it built-in to smart collections, but it gets the job done and only has to be written once.

@Rikk Flohr: Photography, I refined and updated the bug recipe above to reliably reproduce the bug on a virgin installation of Mac OS and LR. I've updated the screen recording. The conditions I've identified are: a docked Masks panel (rather than floating); Show Overlay checked; not moving the mouse outside of the Develop column. These conditions explain why the bug appears "intermittently". I always have the Masks panel docked and keep the Develop column wide, so I usually don't move the mouse outside of the Develop column after doing an Intersect.

@AdamWoodworthPhoto: "Did you try downloading the PNG files and opening them in PS? The screenshot JPGs in the original post make it difficult to see, but the original PNG screenshots should show it." Yes, I see the differences in the two PNG screenshots on both my Macboo Pro 2023 16" Retina (preset Apple XDR Display (P3-1600 nits)) and my Eizo CG2700. But when I view "gradient.tif" in PS and LR Develop, I don't see any differences. I suspect your issue is going to be very hard to troubleshoot if others can't reproduce it :-<

Right-clicking a mask and doing Intersect Mask With causes the three-dot menus and eyeball icons to stop appearing when you hover over any mask or mask component. The bug recipe below faithfully replicates a common way of configuring the LR UI. With this config, it's very easy for the bug to occur, and, while it's a simple bug with a now-known trivial workaround, it is quite annoying (as it apparently was to Conrad). To reproduce on a virgin LR 14.5.1 / Mac OS 15.6.1 (both freshly installed in a virtual machine): 1. Download and open this small catalog: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/okzrplm6igsst4an71xpm/intersect-bug.2025-09-05.zip?rlkey=xhxs6es9e56wfi83t3ol8qqob&dl=0 2. Click the window's green button to fill the screen with LR. 3. Take one of the photos into Develop and create a mask. If the Masks panel isn't docked in the main Develop column, dock it. 4. Click the three-dot men in the lower right corner of the Masks panel to ensure you have the default options: (The bug doesn't seem to occur if Automatically Toggle overlay is off and Show Overlay is unchecked, but I haven't tested the other options. This step shouldn't be necessary if you have a truly virgin install of LR.) 5. Make the Develop column as wide as possible. 6. Reset Develop settings. 7. Create a Subject mask. Subtract from that mask a Background component. Observe that if you hover the mouse over the masks and components, you can see the three-dot menus and eyeball icons magically appear (correct). 8. Create another Subject mask. Click its three-dot menu and do Intersect Mask With > Select Background. Be very careful not to move the mouse outside of the Develop column while you're doing this (which is why you clicked the green button and made the Develop column wide). Observe that hovering over masks and components no longer shows the three-dot menus or eyeball icons (incorrect). 9. Hover the mouse over the Loupe view, ensuring the masking icons appear over the masks in the image. Move the mouse back to the Masks panel and hover it over the masks and components. Observe that the three-dot menus and eyeball icons are once again appearing (correct). See the attached screen recording. To reproduce on LR 14.5.1 / Mac OS 15.5: 1. Create a Subject mask. Subtract from that mask a Background component. Observe that if you hover the mouse over the masks and components, you can see the three-dot menus and eyeball icons magically appear (correct). 2. Create another Subject mask. Right-click it and do Intersect Mask With > Select Background. Observe that hovering over masks and components no longer shows the three-dot menus or eyeball icons (incorrect). See the attached screen recording.

@Devin_76543653, if setting Preferences > Perrformance > Use Graphics Processor to Off fixes your issue, leaving it turned off could slow down LR considerably. There are two likely better solutions: 1. Update your graphics driver by going directly to the manufacturer's web site, rather than relying on Windows Update or a manufacturer's update utility: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/kb/troubleshoot-gpu.html#solution-4 2. Quickly test whether you have an incompatible or corrupt color profile assigned to your display: https://www.lightroomqueen.com/articles-page/how-do-i-change-my-monitor-profile-to-check-whether-its-corrupted/ If that doesn't help, please copy/paste here the entire contents of the LR menu command Help > System Info -- that will let us see exactly which versions of hardware and software LR thinks you're running.

@Jonathan_Seattle: "Getting lots of pixels outside my mask being edited. Shall we call it “Coloring outside the lines”, “Brush bleed”, "Pixel creep” or “Rogue retouching"?" There is a separate bug report about this change in LR 14.5, which Adobe is investigating: https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-bugs/p-gen-remove-now-changes-elements-outside-the-... Please add your screenshots to that thread -- your example is pretty egregious. This is happening to a fair number of people but far from everyone, and the more examples posted, the more likely Adobe will prioritize the issue.

[This post contains formatting and embedded images that don't appear in email. View the post in your Web browser.] Translation of Preferences > Performance screenshot: The Camera Raw engine in LR is having problems with your computer's GPU (graphics processor). To clear the error and force Camera Raw to reevaluate the GPU's capabilities: 1. Exit LR. 2. On Mac, copy this line: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/GPU/ In Finder, do the menu command Go > Go To Folder and paste in that line. Rename the subfolder "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic" to "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic.txt". 3. On Windows, copy this line: %APPDATA%\Adobe\CameraRaw\GPU In File Explorer, paste that line into the address bar at the top. Rename the subfolder "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic" to "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic.txt". 4. Restart LR. 5. If you still get the error in Preferences > Performance > Camera Raw, then post a new screenshot of Preferences and include the current contents of Help > System Info. See this help articles for a little more detail (and more confusing instructions): https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/kb/troubleshoot-gpu.html#solution-4 https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/acr-gpu-faq.html

The sample photo shows what's going on, thanks. The camera app attached Content Credentials to the photo. When you gave the Metadata > Save Metadata To File command, LR saw that the JPEG contained content credentials, so it wrote the updated metadata to a .xmp sidecar (PXL_20250902_094119876.RAW-01~2.xmp), to avoid invalidating the digital signatures in the content credentials: https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/p-content-credentials-signed-images-will-create-an-xmp-file-for-jpeg-images/m-p/14946876 Windows File Explorer doesn't understand .xmp sidecars. To get the metadata written back to the JPEG itself, a couple options: 1. Use the free Exiftool utility to remove the content credentials before importing the JPEGs. You could also use the EXIF To Capture Time plugin to do this after import (it uses Exiftool). 2. Use the Metadata Wrangler plugin to add the keywords and other metadata files to the JPEG itself when you export the photo.

View the post in your Web browser.] I also recalled a discussion here last spring, where I learned about how Task Manager reports the utilization of the GPU: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/gpus-in-the-task-manager/ It's not always intuitive. What does your Task Manager show for overall GPU utilization when doing a batch Denoise? On my small Windows test machine, it reports 90% overall utilization (and larger) even though the graphs show the GPU as mostly idle:

"GPUDeviceEnabled: false" I think this was a red herring, and that line doesn't mean that LR isn't recognizing your GPU. I noticed that my own test Windows machine reports the same thing, but it fully utilizes its GPU. I searched this forum for all posts containing System Info containing that line and found over 1000: https://community.adobe.com/t5/forums/searchpage/tab/message?sort_by=-topicPostDate&q=%22GPUDeviceEnabled:%20false%22&advanced=true&collapse_discussion=true&search_type=message I sampled about a dozen from recent posts about issues that would have nothing to do with GPU performance. So whatever that line means, it doesn't mean that LR / CR considers the GPU unvailable.
