Please advice how to resolve it.

This just started happening to me today for some reason. Was fine when I worked on photos just recently. Is it an issue with the latest update or something? It won’t work on RAW or JPEG images. I’ve tried various images. Same error. I’ve been using LTR for years and never had this issue before.

I'm having this issue too.  I have never been able to use the lens blur feature because of it.  I'm hoping to find a fix.  There are several of the newer features that just won't work on my system.  It's a fairly new computer and has the required specs.  It's so frustrating.  I also end up having to restart Lightroom any time I try to use a feature that gives me an error message because it stops showing me my progress in real time.  Like, if I apply an adjustment, it will show in the thumbnail, but not on the developer screen so I can see what I'm doing.

First up, that use of HDR Treatment. Is your Monitor specs up to the task? I think not based on all that red in the HDR side of the Histogram. Try without HDR Treatment.

 

 

 

Second up, what does LrC say about your GPU? What is shown in /preferences/performance?

Thanks Golding for your advice,

The HDR was selected therefore caused the error, and I have selected the GPU to Auto in Preference/Performance menu.
