P: Unable to advance to the next photo

@Sameer K Can we get any indication of how soon this bug will be fixed?  The workaround you've suggested is not viable for those of us who are volume photographers, editing hundreds of photos every day.  This bug is a big impediment to a productive workflow.

I was wrong. The problem remains, it just appears less frequently.

I had the same problem.
Appeared with the update to version 13. Disabling the "Use Smart Preview image for editing" option helped.

It is doing the same for me.

When moving between photos. I port new photos and start going through them. Before 10 minuutes Lightroom first freezes and then shuts down. I can open again, but this keeps reppeating. Windows 11, 16GB RAM, 12 GB video ram

YES.  I have the same problem with 13.0.1.  

This is very annoying and slows productivity.  Please, can you fix this ASAP?

The work around seems to have worked for me.

To be sure, my issue is NOT in the develop mode, it is in the Library mode. Update to issue though, I moved the main window of LRC to the MPB (it was on the external monitor). I set the main window to survey, external monitor to loupe and it is working as expected. So it seems to have something to do with dual monitor setup and main LRC window being on the external monitor.

LRC 13.0.1

MacBook Pro M2, Venture 13.6, 2 monitor setup, LRC main window is on external 27" LG.

I selected a series of images to view in Survey view on MacBook screen and view images on my external in Loupe view. I either click the arrow to move to the next image (or mouse click on the next image) and the image in the Loupe view does not change. The survey view on my MBP still shows the three images that were selected a while ago. It keeps the same image in that mode making it impossible to edit. It doesn't matter now what image I click on in the row of images across the bottom, can't recall what that row is called, it will not change the image above in Loupe view. If I arrow click to go to the next/previous image it has a selection of images that I had chosen an hour ago that includes the first 2 images and the very last, or 242nd, image in that row of images across the bottom.

So far I've:

Clean Lightroom Install Procedure

Close Lightroom

Restart the computer

Use the Adobe Creative Cloud App to uninstall Lightroom

Restart the computer

Install Lightroom via the Creative Cloud App without launching any other programs.

Restart the computer

Launch Lightroom

Wait 5 minutes

This resulted in zero changes to this behavior, in fact the wierd behavior listed last above was actually selected (the 1st two and 242nd image) before I did the re install of LRC.

I'm assuming this is a bug.

In Adobe Lightroom v13.0.1, there's a problem where edited photos don't immediately save, and when trying to navigate to the next photo, the changes aren't reflected. Users need to manually return to the previous photo and try again to get the edited version to show up.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Edit a photo.
2. Click 'Next' to move to the next photo.

Expected Behavior: Edited changes should save, and the next photo should display those edits.

Observed Behavior: Edits don't save immediately, requiring users to go back to the previous photo and then try to navigate forward again.

Frequency: Happens consistently.

Impact: This disrupts the workflow and is a usability issue.

System Information: Apple iMac 24' M1

Troubleshooting: Restarted Lightroom, checked for updates, and tested on different devices.

Additional Info: No error messages. Not sure when this issue started.

Conclusion: This is a significant problem affecting the user experience. It should be addressed promptly.

same issue here. and it definitely not the smart preview preferences. The problem was made worse when i update my Mac OS to sonoma.
