P: Unable to advance to the next photo

Why no one writes about the fact that in develop mode, after any manipulation with a photo, it is impossible to go to the next photo in the feed? You go, but the photo remains the same as it was, you have to go back and only then go to the next photo. This is a global problem!!  Anyway, I did some research and I realized why many people are silent about it, because this problem occurs only when using the +\- buttons on any keyboard, even on macbook !!!!. If you use only mouse or touchpad, there is no problem with photo transition. That's why many photographers don't pay attention to it, because they don't use the keyboard. Therefore, ADOBE does not react in any way.

I have a frustrating problem with Lightroom in Develop. As you advance to the next image in a collection with the cursor, the filmstrip shows it advancing to the next image, but the develop pane shows the previous image. It's not a speed issue, as if you leave it that way, it never advances to the next image. It is as if one part of Lightroom isn't talking to the other. The only way to get it to advance to the image you want is to move forwards another image, then back to the image you want.

This is a real problem which is making it incredibly difficult to work effectively through my workflow. I haven't had a solution yet from Adobe, I've reset preferences, deleted the plist, and tried a fresh catalog with just a few new images and the problem is the same. Has anyone else experienced this and do you know of a fix? Is it a bug? Moving from one image to the next should the the simplest of processes surely.

Which version of Lightroom do you use?

 

In a first step try is to reset the preferences to the default settings.

  • Reset Procedure:
  • Close Lightroom.
  • Windows: Hold down [Alt]+[Shift] while restarting Lightroom.
    Mac: Hold down [Opt]+[Shift] while restarting Lightroom.
  • Overwrite the Preferences when prompted by the dialog.
  • Close Lightroom.
  • Restart Lightroom.

 

It's recommended to backup your preferences before you reset the preferences to the default settings:

You have an automatic answer to the problem, however it does not work, on all systems this error occurred after upgrading to version 13.0. Please report this problem to Adobe developers

In Lightroom 13.0, after upgrading to the latest version, in develop mode, when making any adjustments to images, the photos do not scroll in the ribbon, or jump through one. You have to constantly go back to the processed photo. What have you done to the program? It is impossible to work (Windows 11 and MAC OS )

Same problem here, Win 10, i7 9700K, RTX3070, latest Studio Drivers from 10.10. - I can't work in Develop module, often it can't go to the next photo, sometimes even after returning to Libary, clicking on the photo and pressing "D"is not working, in need to select another photo in Libary, then the image i need to edit, and press "D".

Yes, this is a global problem on all systems, it is impossible to work, I rolled back to version 12 and I advise you, Adobe as always releases new updates with bugs

Moving from one photo to the other in Develop is slower than it was in LRCC 12.X - The new photo isn't cached or something because in Library it shows that the 'new' photo is highlighted but when I go back to Develop, it's still on the previous photo. It resolves itself after a little while but yeah it's a glitch.

I'm having an issue where the image previews will not update correctly using smart previews in Develop. When selecting the next image, many times, it will just show the previous image preview instead of the current image. If I go back and forth, the image will update. Turning off using smart previews for editing fixes the issue but of course is much slower. I've tried deleting and regenerating smart previews and have the same issue. It seems like a bug with the latest version. I'm on a Mac Studio M1 with Mac OS 14. I've also had random crashes with the latest version.

Have you upgraded to LrC v13 yet? Pre v13 was not tested and might not be compatible with Sonoma.

This issue was mentioned years ago in this thread: https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/wrong-photo-gets-quot-stuck-quot-in-develop-module-display-pane-during-editing-session/td-p/8727964

 

However I was advised in that thread by an Adobe staff member to create a new topic in case the issue is not the same. The issue mentioned by the OP (Marc Merlin) does indeed seem to be the same or at least VERY similar. I can reproduce this all the time (as it is happening non-stop). After I have deleted a photo or two using develop mode, pressing the left or right arrow (or clicking on another photo in the bottom "collection" view), the selection is applied and all the settings I currently have for the photo I have selected are shown, yet the main screen still shows the last photo I viewed. I have to select a THIRD other photo, then go back to the one I want to edit next. Sometimes I even have to repeat this twice.

 

I'm fairly sure the issue - if not THE same - is very very similar to that post, and thus - has not been fixed in over 5 years! After reading that post, I also noticed that it was mentioned two separate times that Adobe are aware of this. It needs to be fixed - because working in develop mode (as I'm sure many do) is slowing us down!

 

Please fix this, Adobe!

Having gone and read the linked thread, and a thread it redirects to, a first question comes to mind.

 

Have you brought up /preferences/performance and turned off the use of the GPU?

And when you do, what occurs?

 

And that leads to the standard question, that actually should be a standard statement in a posting, what does LrC show in system information? Mostly interested in LrC version, OS version, GPU make/model and driver version.

 

Please post your System Information as Lightroom Classic (LrC) reports it. In LrC click on Help, then System Info, then Copy. Paste that information into a reply. Please present all information from first line down to and including Plug-in Info. Info after Plug-in info can be cut as that is just so much dead space to us non-Techs.

Hello 🙂

 

Interestingly - having the GPU settings on "Auto" or "custom" (which is basically "on") allows the issue to continue, yet (for the last ten minutes' testing) turning them "off" removes the issue.

 

I will continue testing with it turned off, however - assuming this is the answer - this begs two new questions. 1) Why is the option there if it causes issues and, 2) What if I have a good GPU that will help with my editing, yet can't use it if it causes issues?
