LR corrupts an .avif image when it tries to write the file's metadata. To reproduce:

 

1. Import this .avif:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/81x4nrskg541ekj/sample-avif.2023.05.04.avif?dl=0 

 

2. Select the imported photo and do Metadata > Save Metadata To File.

 

3. Observe these errors:

 

4. Open the file in Photoshop 2023 and observe this error:

(PS has no problems opening the original file.)

 

Tested on LR 12.4, PS 24.5.0, Mac OS 13.4.

    I confirmed the bug recipe now works correctly in my Mac LR 12.5.  LR now creates a .xmp sidecar when you do Metadata > Save Metadata To File (as it used to do with .heics but no longer).  

     

    (If only the developers would do a similar quick hack for videos!)

        AVIF is a non-raw format similar to HEIC, using the same container format but different compression:

        LR added support for it in 12.3.

        @johnrellis , is a .aivf image file a digital raw file?
