Since the new update in Lightroom (8.31), when I export an image, items I've removed with generate remove do not apear in the exported image.

Can I please try also as I've been at the point of tears tonight. This is so unbelievably time consuming!!! I've been searching high and low for an answer and just found this thread. I'm using lightroom classic.

I'm having this issue with the latest version, is there any updates to this yet? Having to export every single file is just not possible for the way I do business. Can we use the non ai remove tool? or just revert to old lightroom?

LorieLynPhotographybeccamathias - I've asked a colleague to invite you to the Lr Classic prerelease program.

clwilken, you should be hearing from Rikk for the Lr desktop one.

@Julie Kmoch  Yes I would be interested as long as I can revert back if something doesn't go well. At this point Lightroom classic is basically unusuable for me.

I would be interested in this, as long as I can revert back to an old update if this doesn't work with the AI edits exporting properly.

@Julie Kmoch I'm definitely still having issues and I've even upgraded my laptop since my initial comment. I can't even batch denoise on photos. It's extremely frustrating. I have to do everything in Photoshop as far as removals go.

If you are still experiencing problems with AI edits getting dropped on export in Lightroom desktop 8.5.1 or Lightroom Classic 14.5.1 and would like to try a more recent build still in development, please speak up here and we'll reach out.

Is there any updates on this?  I'm running Lightroom Classic 14.0.1 per recommendation of Adobe support.  I've tried everything that is in this thread and no luck.

This issue is still happening to me as well, even though I did another update today (8/28/25) per the pinned reply from Rikk Flohr saying the newest update fixes these bugs with the AI settings not saving during export. I'm beyond frustrated and this is causing me to spend so much extra time by exporting them one by one. It's simply not feasible as business owners and this needs to be fixed ASAP, Lightroom!
