P: Rating photos w/ crop overlay behaves differently with/without GPU

In my editing I am always doing the following:

 

I have the crop overlay open. I make any last minute adjustments and crop the image. Without closing the crop overlay I hit "5" signifying the photo is ready for delivery. The photo disappears and the next one comes up ready to do the same again. This is a fast way to finish up an edit.

 

The problem is that for the past couple of versions of Lightroom Classic, when I hit '5' the next photo does not come up. It used to happen rarely, but now it happens more or less every time. The only way to get the photos to show again is to click on another one in the filmstrip. Even going to 'Library' and back to 'Develop' does not show the next image.

 

Please see this screen recording so you can see what I mean.

 

This is incredibly frustrating for a guy that delivers 100s of images at a time, it's really slowing me down. Can anyone suggest anything to try?

Thanks.

I have imported my photos and flagged my best as 5* and I'm now developing them. When I come across one that I want to remove I change the rating to zero. Lightroom moves onto the next photo as it always has but it wont show the image until I move to the next one and return back to it.

I dont recall having this issue before. Can anyone else verify or provide a fix?

Edit to this..I have discovered it only happens when I'm in crop mode.

So... if I find an image I dont want and select ZERO to remove the rating the next image is selected according to the thumbnails at the bottom but the image doesnt display until I move to another image and then back.

@defaultbw6w30w9pcdq, I see the same misbehavior on my LR 12.2.1 / Mac OS 13.3. But it only occurs with Preferences > Performance > Use Graphics Processor set to Auto or Custom -- when set to Off, it doesn't occur.

 

Try setting references > Performance > Use Graphics Processor to Off -- does it still occur?  (I'm not suggesting you permanently set it to Off -- I'm just trying to narrow down the conditions for the bug before filing a bug report.)

To reproduce the bug on Mac OS 13 / LR 12.3:

 

1. Set Preferences > Performance > Use Graphics Processor to Auto.

 

2. Set the Library Filter bar to Rating <= 4 stars and make sure there are at least two photos showing in the filmstrip.

 

3. Edit the first photo in Develop.

 

4. Make a custom crop by dragging the edges of the crop and leave the Crop tool open.

 

5. Type "5" to set the rating to 5 stars.

 

6. Observe that photo correctly disappears from the filmstrip, the next photo is selected, but the main window of Develop is blank (all grey).

 

7. Set Preferences > Performance > Use Graphics Processor to Off, repeat steps 2 - 5, and observe that the misbehavior doesn't occur.

Hey @defaultbw6w30w9pcdq. Welcome to the Lightroom Classic Community. I'll need more info to help you figure this out.

 

What version of Lightroom Classic & the operating system are you working on? I couldn't recreate this on Windows 10 & 11. Is this an Intel-based or an Apple Silicon-based Mac machine?

 

When you apply the 5-star ratings & the crop, the image disappears from the Filmstrip. It looks like you are working through a Smart Collection with rules that can exclude images that don't meet the requirements.

 

Try creating a sample collection of the normal kind & check if it works as expected. Let me know it goes.
Thank! Sameer K

Hi Sameer, 

 

It's the latest version of Lightroom Classic from my subscription, and the issue as persisted across the last couple of minor updates. I'm on MacOS Montery 12.6.4 and the Mac is a 14" MBP M1 Pro

 

It's not a smart collection, just a regular folder I am editing from. I never use collections of any type.

 

Yes, the filter is set to only show 3* images, so when I hit 5 the image should disapear and we (used to) advance to the next one, ready to crop and rate.  This is my normal way of working, I've been doing it this way for years. 

 

Cheers,

Turn "Auto Advance" on in the Library/Photo menu and then go back to the Develop Module.  This works correctly for me.
