P: Subject Mask from previous versions are requesting an update

After updating Lightroom Classic to v14 and converted my database, all the edited photos that had a "Subject Mask" applied now have an empty mask with a warning and exclamation mark (!).

If I let Lightroom correct the mask pushing the exclamation mark on a single photo, it seems the correct subject is selected, keeping the edits. If I do the same with multiple photos together it appears teh usual form that tells that the AI masks are recalculated, but at the end all the masks are still empty with warnings.

Can you please provide specific instructions on how to upgrade your catalog if you already upgraded it? Specifically the steps for how to get to the old lightroom folder, what does retrieving the previous catalog means, and then what to do after that?

 

Will retrieving the previous catalog still preserve the current edits I have done since I updated?

Also Masking does the same thing.  if you do a background mask on one photo, then make one on another photo, your get an error on the first mask and when you update it, the mask errors on all the other photos.  it is a never ending cascade of failures when you add anthing AI to a photo.

AND now every photo for every client i have done in the past, all my masks are broken on every photo I have ever used Lightroom one.

 

YOU LITERALLY HAVE COST ME THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IF NOT TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN LOST TIME.

I have the same problem. In the grid view, I have to go photo by photo updating with Ctrl + Alt + U. If I select a group of photo, the update olnly takes one photo

Hello, since i updated the LR CLASSIC im getting a problem.

 

After installed, it asks for a catalog update. It was done. Nothing wrong and i opened the catalog without problems and i noticed AI masks need a manual update. I edited again some photos AND ( here is the bug ) , EVERY TIME i exit develop mode, back to library , go to another photo and back to first one i need to update the masks AGAIN...

 

At library, you can see the thumbnail with the edits but when you go to dev mode, the masks need be updated.

EDIT: ANY AI mask have problems... all AI remove/generate need be updated too.

EDIT 2: When you start editing a photo ( no previous edit on older catalog ) it works without problem ( at least for the first moment .. lets see )

No solo la ultima actualizacion es mala y poco intuitiva, porque no solo no borra lo que quiero que borre como antes, sino que lo reemplaza con algo similar a lo que hay y mal logrado, sino que no respeta lo hecho con anterioridad en el catalogo en la version anterio por lo que si no se exporta lo hecho, hay que volverlo a hacer, esto significa una tremenda perdida de tiempo. 
Tengo que rehacer todo el trabajo a pesar de haber guardado los cambios en el catalogo.
Un desastre.

I came here because i have had this problem after updating to the latest version of Lightroom (Classic). V.14. 

Like the other posters I kept updating and as soon as I went back to the image I'd just updated, it had the warning sign again. 

I was pulling my hair out i swear. 

I found the fix above and sorted it eventually. 

i hadnt restarted Lightroom after updating so it didnt work first time.  After I realised I had to be in Grid mode in the Library  module I tried again and it seems to have worked. 

A lot of faffing about for something that really should be explained when updating. 

Anyway, its working again now for me. Thankfully i didnt export the photos before I realised. 

thanks to John Ellis for the fix 👍

Après la mise à jour Lightroom 14, gros problème avec les masques existants.

Je dois faire la mise à jour manuellement sur chaques masques.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

Would anyone know, will making a windows restore point (Windows 10 Pro) be a safeguard too, i.e. if all goes wrong restore the restore point will resolve it? Or is the restore point just for Windows, and doesn't "cover" LR Classic?
