    Hi ​@Dick_Davis 

     

    Sorry to hear you're running into this error. There can be several reasons why it occurs. A few common causes are listed here by ​@dj_paige 

     

    To help us narrow this down, could you please share a few more details in addition to the information already requested by  ​@dj_paige ?

    • System Info: Go to Help > System Info in Lightroom and copy/paste the full report here.
    • Does this happen with all images or only a specific image?
    • Does the error occur when using a particular feature, export setting, or preset?

    These details will help us better understand the cause and suggest the right troubleshooting steps.

     

    Thanks, Srishti Bali | Community & Engagement Strategist, Digital Imaging | Adobe

    Please show us a screen capture of the entire export error message. (What does it mean when you say “While editing...” this sounds like an import error not an editing error, is that correct?)

     

    Are you talking about Lightroom or Lightroom Classic or some other software?


    Repeating my previous advice to you:

    Also, ​@Dick_Davis , I explained this previously, it would help everyone if you followed this advice. “... the new forum is so poorly designed that a lot of people are confused. The first dialog box when you create a post is the title (even though it doesn’t say that), you should enter a few words like ‘Options missing in masking’. The next dialog box is where you put the details.” Please help us all out.
