P: Make All Adjustments Local

Bumping this thread because 8 (15, really) years later, we still need all adjustment as local. The ideal workflow is a type of layered system, where all adjustments are reset to zero and pass through a mask. Imagine in Ps, taking a stack of adjustments, grouping them and adding a mask. This is what both LR and ACR have needed since day 1.

Allowing this type of workflow would open up limitless creative options and should be a no-brainer. Imagine if Ps limited you to only one type of adjustment layer per image and didn't allow for stacking multiple of the same. That's basically how it feels when we're working in LR/ACR.

This whole process of only adding 1 or 2 additional settings at a time each year over the course of the last 15 years needs to stop. Just give us the whole dang stack!

Try update your mac to macOS 10.11.6 or later to see if it helps.

here's the system info - as you can see my gpu is supported and no open gl errors

no, running osx 10.11.5 - please read answer to email sent by sunil below ... 

yes on every image i've tried - all raws - some times it might not happen on the first correct but always after no more than 3 ...ie; tep change, exposure, contrast. i've also tried a variety of combinations to make sure the behavior wasn't tied to just the basic changes. and the same thing happens in quick develop mode in the library tab. so any change to an image results in the image being unselected / 

i am not syncing images - assuming you mean mobile synch?

i've turned off graphics acceleration, deleted and reinstalled lr classic

Is this on Windows? Please follow https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/lightroom-gpu-faq.html and report what you find. 

Does it work after you've temporarily turning off the GPU acceleration from the Lightroom Preferences dialog? If so, try updated GPU driver to the latest and turn back on the GPU acceleration.

i replied to your email ... at this point lightroom classic is broken. i've been paying $50/mo for years for the creative cloud suite and now the application i use most is flat out busted. i spent over an hour on hold w adobe support before having to hang up yesterday. this has got to the single worst experience i've had with software since i first starting using a computer in 1988. v 

Gregg,
Does this happen to every image you try to edit?
Are you syncing the image?
I have sent you an offline message.

Thanks,
Sunil

Does it crash immediately after you change the setting? Or sometime later while you're working?
