P: Smart Object Healing spots convert to Generative Remove

I have gone back to images I have been workiing on in ACR prior to the Early Access generative remove and found all my heals & clones blown away. Some images have literally a hundred heals (dust bunnies, specks in snow, etc.) that are now gone.

 

How do I get back to the prior version? I don't like the early release!!!!!

@bernardwerner you are correct, the issue is with SO path. Could you send me a direct email at mqi@adobe.com?
I would like to provide you with a build that shall resolve the issue with SO. Thanks.

Looking at some other images, it appears to me the issue comes up when reediting the SO in ACR, not when pulling up the original RAW file even if it has healiing edits in its RAW file.

I also had an issue Feb 10, 2024 01:34 PM where I was losing masks sporadically if that helps any....

@bernardwerner  The Camera Raw team is requesting a sample image with the old heal/clone settings. Can you provide that?

The file I would like to upload is one of my smaller ones, but it's 855 MB (24 x 36"). When I go to downsize the Smart Object, all the heal edits are lost. This one only has heal edits since they tend to work better with snow contrasted to the remove tool. If I open the SO and save the xmp file, all the healing is gone from it.

So how do I get it to you?
