Question

Blur Tool - changing focus range freezes application

Dear friends,

 

when I use the blur tool in LRC everything works fine UNTIL I modify the focus range sliders. As soon as I shift the focus range the application freezes on the "Analysing" message, and I need to kill the taks in the taks manager.

 

I run the latest Win 11 update, a AMD Ryzen 9 5900X processor, 64 GB Ram and an 8GB RTX 2080 Super Graphics adapter.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thank you,

Jerry

    Hi @jekyll1411

     

    We’ve received similar reports from other users as well. For them, quitting the app with Test integrity and Optimize catalog checked, then relaunching Lightroom Classic, resolved the issue.

     

    Could you please try the same and let us know how it goes? You can follow the steps here: Troubleshoot corrupt catalog in Lightroom Classic

     

    Regards,

    Srishti

    Hi Srishti,

     

    I tried this right now, but unfortunately the problem remains the same.

    I believe it is worth noticing though, that if I move the whole blur range, as illustrated in the hereby screenshot, the problem does not occur. If I just enlargen the blur range, by moving the right hand blurring range handle to the right for example, the application freezes immediately. (Not sure if this was comprehensible, but my images should showcase this well.)

    Best regards,

     

    Jerry

    Hi @jekyll1411

     

    Thanks for sharing the details. In this scenario, I would suggest resetting the preferences for Lightroom Classic to see if that helps. You can find the steps here: https://adobe.ly/4qFL9eS

     

    Please make sure to create a backup of these folders before deleting them completely.

    What version NUMBER of Lightroom Classic? Please tell us the version NUMBER and not words like "latest" or "Up-to-date".

     

    Please make sure you have the most recent GPU driver installed, and that it is a Studio driver and not a Game-Ready driver.

    Sure. I run version 15.0 of Lightroom Classic and the latest NVidia Studio Driver, namely version 581.57.
