Can someone please help me. I've tried everything. I edit my photos on LRC on MAC i get part way through close my app and come back and then have to update the denoise it doesn't save on any photos. I go to export them and it doesn't save. I have reset settings. What else can I do? I shoot sports games & I'm 4 games behind and more coming up.

... then have to update the denoise it doesn't save on any photos

 

What do you see on your screen?

  1. Do you see the lack of Denoise in the photo image itself?
  2. Is the Denoise check box not  checked?
  3. Is there a Denoise step in the History Panel?
  4. Are any of the other edits no longer present?
  5. Is the user-provided metadata correct or is that no longer present as well?

 

Please answer all 5 of these questions.

1. yes can see it in photo

2. box is checked and has the update AI settings error but does nothing I have to uncheck and recheck the denoise box every time.

3. yes it has denoise in history box

4. rest of edits are there

5. i'm not sure what the metadata is/should be. 

 

It was all working fine until the last update. 

Thanks for your help

So the edits are saved, but are not being displayed.

 

... box is checked and has the update AI settings error

 

So do you update the AI settings? This should fix the problem.
