Question

missing info overlay in Lightroom Classis

The info overlay is missing for a few days now in Library and develop mode. I've updated my Mac and Adobe apps so I'm not sure where the problem lies (LR 14.5 and MAcOS Sequoia 15.6.1 ).

I've searched the internet and can not find a sollution and the j and i keys do not fix the problem.

Even after I deleted and reinstalled LR the problem still isn't gone, and now I cant't even see the file name in the grid.

 

Also I can not right click to send photo's tp Photoshop.

 

It would be very nice to have sollutions to fix both of these problems.

 

Thank you so much if you can provide solutions.

At the risk of sounding pedantic but have you tried hitting the "I" key on your keyboard or doing a command-I. I have noticed that sometimes, the info overlay doesn't show even when it is checked in the dialog. Pressing I a few times will bring it back.

Yes, that was the first thing I tried. But you are right, I neglected to mention that above.

Hi @judiths95958107,


Thank you for the detailed updates and for sharing everything you’ve tried so far. I tried this on my end, and I am unable to reproduce it in Lightroom v14.5.1 running on macOS 26 MacBook Pro M1 Max. For now, a couple more checks that may help narrow it down. First, please update to v14.5.1 again, then:
 1. Try a clean test catalog (File > New Catalog) to confirm it isn’t catalog-specific.
 2. Check if overlays behave differently in Loupe, Develop, Grid, or Compare. Sometimes, inconsistencies appear in just one view mode.
 

Please, copy-paste System Info (Help > System Info). This will help engineering see your exact GPU/driver/macOS stack.

 

In the meantime, staying on 14.0 (where overlays display correctly) is the safest workaround until a fix is released.


Thanks again for your patience and persistence in documenting the issue.


Best,
Anshul Saini

For your the info overlay issue: try resetting the preferences of Lightroom Classic:  How to reset Lightroom Classic preferences (adobe.com)

It's recommended to backup your preferences before you reset the preferences to the default settings:

For your second issue, that you can't send images to Photoshop,  the info about the Photoshop version is missing. For the current version there's a known issue when the pathname of the image does includes sign as " ' ". Take a look here P: LrC 14.5 Edit in Photoshop does not work when o... - Adobe Product Community - 15458663 and see @Sameer K 's pinned

Gooddag,

I've reset the preferences of LR like suggested manually by method 3. Unfortunately the problem has not been solved.
Are there other options I can try? Like I wrote before I also reinstalled LR.

Problem 2 has been solved. Thanks.

Greetings,

Judith
