Question

Object Selection Tool Refusing to Select a clear object

So I have been trying to fix this problem for so long and I cannot seem to figure it out. Whenever I go to select an object, keep in mind the object is very clear, it literally does nothing. It maybe buffers for a second or two but then nothing selects and the mask just goes away. Every single other ai feature in lightroom classic works for me, including subject and denoise. This is the only one that doesn't seem to work. I also just recently upgraded my GPU so it is completely updated and meets the requirements for adobe lightroom classic. I am also on the most recent version of lightroom, 15.1.1. If anyone has a solution to this please reply because this has been driving me nuts. Thank you!

Hey, @ALPhotographs28. Welcome to the Lightroom Classic Community. I'll help you figure this out. 

 

Please follow the steps and let me know how it goes: 

1 - Close Lightroom Classic

2 - Go to the following locations and delete everything inside the ModelZoo folder.

Windows: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw

Windows: C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\ModelZoo

3 - You can press the Windows key > Enter 'Run' > Enter %APPDATA%\Adobe\Camera Raw

> Enter C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw

4 - Launch Lightroom Classic and try to use the tools. 

5 - If this does not work, you can uninstall Lightroom Classic from the Creative Cloud desktop app and start over from step 2, and install Lightroom Classic at step 4. 

 

Let me know how it goes. Thanks!
