Does anyone have a solution to when xmp data gets lost on random photos in a Lightroom catalog expor

After clients choose the portraits to purchase, a catalog that was previously colour corrected and cropped when exporting as originals (raws), some of the xmp data (cropping and lighting colour correction) gets completley disregarded as if it were never colour corrected in the first place. The interesting thing about this is that it only does this to random portraits throughout the catalog (one-offs), or even entire sets at a time. Has anyone experienced a similar issue?

Apparently no more XMP data is being exported at the moment. This means that anyone who exports and then deletes their images will have problems restoring them. What this crap is about is once again a secret from Adobe.

Not true. There is a recent change in when/how it gets saved, but it's still happening.

Also not accurate. People should rely on catalogue backups, not xmp which is more for interchange with other apps than it is for backup. The catalogue backup contains all the work on your images - xmp does not.

If the camera takes two photos, JPG in black and white and the DNG in color, Lightroom will make the DNG unusable for other photo applications because there is no longer any XMP. Lightrrom mobile 7.0 does not have a catalog to back up. That's why you save the files on the hard drive when 1000 MB are full, but if the XMP is missing, no other program can use the files. All edits to the DNG can no longer be used for other non-Adobe programs.

Never heard of it. What are you doing to this catalogue? Are you emailing it to the client or sending them originals? Are they choosing by some automated method? What does the history panel show has happened to these random photos?
