P: Old version of edit is exported

This has happened to me a bunch, both before and after the latest update.

Often I use LR Mobile to spot check how my photos look on a mobile device, then I go back in to edit. If I do and edit that involves photoshop and saves as a TIF or PSD often I will go back to LR Mobile and see the edited photo just as I expected, but when I save to camera roll an earlier stage in the edit is exported. If I try and change any attributes the image in LR Mobile with switch from the latest edit to the previous edit as soon as a slider is touched. 

This seems to happen consistently when I am viewing the TIF or PSD on my phone, then jump back in to photoshop to adjust. After LR desktop syncs the new edit it's in LR Mobile where the issue occurs. 

In these situations I've found no solution except to use dropbox to send the final edit to my phone.

Please do not post a “me too” message to a thread that is several years old. Your problem may seem the same as the one discussed here, but the chance that it is really the same as a problem that occurred many years ago is very slim. Find a recent thread, or create a new thread explaining in detail what your problem is. Do not forget to give information about your OS (Windows or MacOS? What version?) and give the Lightroom version number as well.

Same thing happening now, Lightroom classic on Windows 10.

Syncing with mobile on Galaxy S22. The thumbnail is correct but the full view picture is the one before the Photoshop edit.

Clearing cache does not help

I am experiencing the same problem now, for the first time, with all Adobe programs up to date and iMac completely up to date.

Any current advice, please?

Hi All,

I'm using the latest verison of Lr Mobile and also experiencing this issue. I just tried clearing the cache but that hasn't helped. I find that the preview of the image when first opened shows the latest version/edit, but when I zoom in on the image or export it, I get the older version of the edit.

The file is a .tif . Lightroom Classic on my mac has the latest version of the file and has no issues, the problem only seems to be occurring on the mobile app.

Any advice?

Thanks,

Lawrence

I was on v6.1.0 of Lightroom Mobile (on iOS 14) and still ran into it, the solution I found was deleting cache. Thanks for the response.

When I remove the photo from mobile sync and then add it back the correct version is displayed

Also to note, I do not have offline editing enabled, and clearing the cache does not help.
