LrC AI Mask Problem: Sky Mask Not Saving After Closing App

Hello,

 

I am experiencing a recurring issue with the Sky Mask AI tool in the latest version of Lightroom. After creating a Sky Mask, it initially works fine and appears in the Masking panel. However, when I close and reopen Lightroom (or sometimes after syncing), the Sky Mask remains in the list but becomes completely empty, as if the detection has disappeared.

 

Important details:

 

  • The mask is still listed in the Masking panel, but there is no selection inside it.

  • This only happens with Sky Masks. Other AI masks, such as Subject or People, are preserved correctly.

  • I have already tried clearing the cache, updating Lightroom to the latest version, and disabling GPU acceleration, but the issue persists.

  • I am working with RAW files, and the problem repeats consistently.

 

 

It looks like the Sky AI detection is failing to reload after reopening, leaving an empty mask. Could you please confirm if this is a known bug and if a fix is planned?

 

Thank you.

Hey @chipon

Are you seeing any errors, and does this only happen with Sky Replacement? I haven't been able to reproduce this on my end; however, I might be missing something. Can you share your exact workflow or share a video of the issue from start to finish? 

Please also share your system info. You can find it by going to Help > System Info, then copying and pasting it into a text file to attach here. This will help us look into it further.
