P: TIFF file reloads after each Develop edit, potential data loss

LR6 (CC), edit TIF file (imported from PS or NIK). Image "reloads" after almost every Develop module edit. In some cases, all previous Develop module settings are lost, and the image reverts to it's original appearance. Even though the previous Develop module edits are still shown on the History panel - they no longer have any effect. Result - total loss of all user edits.

Workaround: disable "Automatically write changes to XMP" in catalog settings. This is what appears to trigger the constant "reloads".

Note this does not appear to be related to GPU - the problem occurs exactly the same whether GPU is enabled or disabled. Also note, the problem does NOT occur when editing RAW files. So far, it appears to occur only with TIF files.

    Same problem here. This is a HUGE pain and I have lots a lot of time. I regret upgrading to Lightroom CC 6. Adobe please fix this ASAP or I will be downgrading immediately because I can't edit anything.

    I'm having the same issue. This is the first I've noticed it and I've been using LR since it first came out, and I've done a lot of editing in other programs with images brought back into LR as TIFFs.

    i was under the impression that the default in Lr6 Catalogue Settings box that says"always write to XMP" is supposed to be unchecked?..Joe

    Same problem here, with TIFF and PSD. A real pain with files edited externally with the onOne Perfect photo suite. When the file gets back to lightroom it does constantly reloads after the slightest tweak and regularly looses the adjustment made.
    Please Adobe fix this ASAP.
    Also as a side note, I've disabled GPU acceleration on my 27" imac with a 675MX 1gb card as the adjustment brush seems to lag more with this feature on. Some other users report that too.
    I'd love to see a real visible acceleration when painting with the brush, with and without automask

    Just to add: I have the same issue, too - but again not only related to TIFFs. It is just like LR "stumbles", forgets about some steps inbetween, with several issues as results - changes done, but cannot be adapted anymore, changes not done at all, cropping shown in the preview top left, but not in the main screen etc. All very strange, and very difficult to pinpoint. Switching off auto changes to XMP seems to solve most of it, though - cannot say if really all.

    If you truly have edit pins showing on some photos and not others, that would indeed be an interesting problem, though different (even if related) from this one, so I would suggest starting another thread. Before you do, however, I would suggest that in the Develop module you select the Adjustment brush, and then go to Tools>Tool Overlay and select "Always Show" to see if that makes your edit pins show.

    The workaround of turning off writing changes to XMP does stop the constant reloading after every adjustment. But it does not solve the problem that Local Adjustments are no longer reversible. Since the circular buttons no longer appear on the image, it is not possible to select previous adjustments and make changes. The adjustments all appear in the history list, but cannot be modified. This is part of the same issue, since it only happens in tiffs returned to LR from Photoshop (or other editors). And the disappearance of the local adjustment buttons coincided with the appearance of the reloading behavior.

    Agreed, Larry. I updated today to CC from 5. Already regretting it. This is a huge pain in the butt.
