Question

Lightroom: Enhance Details issue with local corrections applied

I will admit that my computer is behind the times. An old HP Pavilion, 8 GB RAM, no separate graphics card, grossly underpowered by today's standard. When the enhance details feature was introduced my computer handled it without a problem. However, after the 8.21 update, the dialog box displays but there's just a spinning whatever that keeps on spinning. I know, I need to upgrade my computer, but this was a noticeable change after this last update. I'm using Windows 10, incidentally.

    Lightroom Classic 8.3 was released today and contained a fix for this issue. Please update to 8.3 and verify that you are no longer seeing the issue. Thank you!

    Hi All,

    Just to clarify, the issue will only happen when some specific Local Corrections are applied on some part of the image and the Enhanced preview is request for those regions. And as I mentioned earlier, we are working on the fix.

    Thanks,
    Chinoy

    I thought about that. I had restarted Lightroom, shut down the computer and restarted it, and done everything that I could think of, and I "thought" I had covered all the bases. Apparently I hadn't. Wish I could simply add more RAM, but that's all the motherboard will accommodate. Maybe an upgrade for the computer later this year. We'll have to see.

    Perhaps restarting LR or your system freed up some memory? I've noticed strange behavior sometimes in LR and simply closing and reopening it returns things back to normal. I Have 32 GB of memory so not likely that was the cause for me or perhaps you as well with only 8 GB.

    Just a follow-up. Same version of Lightroom, same computer, no updates. But NOW enhance details Is working as it did before, even on edited images. It displays the preview as expected.

    I'm thinking it's my old HP Pavilion that's possibly slowing me down and causing problems, but I can't confirm that. It's time for a new computer but there are too many other priorities to deal with in our house right now. But thanks for the feedback.

    I have no issues using previously edited raw files with Enhanced Details (CTRL + ALT + I) on my Windows 10 ver 10.0.17763 system with LR 8.2.1.

    Thank you for the clarification on proper usage of this feature. Perhaps I would be better off if I would devote more time to reading documentation.

    Thanks James. Good to know it is working for you now. Although ideally it is a good idea to run EnhanceDetails on an unedited raw file as that will give you a better idea of whether it makes a difference on that image or not, it should still work on edited images. So we will work on fixing this issue.

    Thanks,
    Chinoy
