Question

Edit of pictures in Lightroom Classic getting forced reset

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic 13.4 (macOS Sonoma 14.2.1)

Lightroom 9.4.0 (iPad Pro iPadOS 17.5.1)

 

Hi,

Today I faced a major issue for me, and I hope you can help me to find a solution.
I work with Lightroom on both my iPad and my Mac Mini. I load my pictures straight from the card on Lightroom on the iPad, and after editing them on the iPad they are synchronized via the Adobe Cloud on Lightroom Classic, on my computer.

 

There, they are automatically saved on an external hard drive where my catalogue is also stored.

 

Today, when I opened Lightroom on my Mac Mini and accessed any album, all the images I clicked on (and displayed) were first displayed with retouching, then a few seconds later the retouching disappeared and the photo was displayed in “raw” format.

Each time I clicked on a photo, the problem repeated itself.

I tried this on albums still synchronized on my iPad, and once the photo was displayed on the computer, then automatically reset, the changes were also lost on the iPad.


Attached you will find 2 screenshots of the automatic reset, on 2 different albums.

If you need extra information, please let me know.
Thank you for your help !

Antoine.

In LrC, in the Develop Module, select one of your photos, Look at the History Panel. Is the top step in the history panel selected? Or are no steps in the history panel selected. And if you click on that stop step, does it show up as selected, and does the photo then appear as it should?

Hi,

Thank you for taking time on this issue.
I checked, and as I do all my editing mainly on iPad, I do have an history but a short one :

 

 However, this is only on my latest albums. On the other ones (where I have the issue, there is no history). Then I realized that my issue only affects albums from before ~20th of June.

The albums imported after that date are fine, as were the other ones before.

Then I had to think what happened around that time, and it appears that Lightroom Classic, on my computer, did an update of my complete catalogue and created a new version of it.

 

I suppose that is the origin of the issue.

Does it ring something to you ?

I tried to open the v13 catalogue version and had to "update" again the catalogue to match the actual version of Lightroom Classic.

Lightroom is currently loading all the pictures since ~20th of June (when I created the new catalogue) from the Adobe Cloud, but it seems that in this version of the catalogue the older albums are not affected by the previous issue.

Looks like the v14 catalogue had a bug somewhere...
