Hi,

 

I recently updated both macOS(Updated to Big Sur) and LR Classic. Now i'm getting the error message below. Can anyone assist?

 

"

The metadata for this photo has been changed by both Lightroom and another application. Should Lightroom import settings from disk or overwrite disk settings with those from the catalog?"

Yeah, that happens from time to time for no apparent reason. This 'feature' has been around for many years. If you know you didn't do anything with that image in another application, then overwrite the disk settings.

Hi, I just edited a photo in Topaz Denoise and after sending back to lightroom classic I changed the white balance from "As Shot" to Auto and I got the same error message. So I'm thinking Topaz and /or lightroom does not like changing White Balance after Topaz bakes it into the photo.
