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.

@Julie Kmoch I'm using the Classic version and editing photos on my local drive.

I have this exact same issue and it is all edited on a local drive.

Thanks for your responses on disk space. I asked because we did make a change in export to try and better deal with low disk situations, but it doesn't sound as if that's a factor here. We are still studying this. We're finding it hard to reproduce (though there's clearly a bug - I don't question that).

 

Other info that might be helpful:
- Does this only happen with photos that are synced to the cloud? Has anyone seen it happening with files edited in the Local tab?

- For files in the Cloud, if you put them in an album, right click, and choose "Make Album Available Offline", does that help?

It shouldn't matter how much space we have or not(it never mattered before when we would do this), this is not right. This is a major flaw in the update. Please fix this. I can't keep anything edited. An entire wedding gallery's AI edits just poof gone. Hundreds of photos. Then, when I try to update with the little yellow circle thing, it doesn't do anything, and where the AI remove was, there is a ! that is yellow. Please, please help.

@beccamathias could you let me know how much free disk space you have?

Has there been any sort of fix to this yet? I just finished editing a huge wedding and none of my AI generative remove stuck during export. This is a huge loss of time for me. I'm extremely frustrated.

For those who are experiencing this bug, are any of you low on disk space? I'm testing a theory.
