Hey, @4SirDavid. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I've merged your posts. 

I'll need more info to help you figure this out. Is this a personal or work (IT-managed) machine? Has this started after recent OS updates? 

 

Ensure Lightroom has the required permissions on macOS: https://adobe.ly/4cjACip;

 

Also, could you try moving the images to a new Test album?

- Right-click on the Test Album name > Select 'Make Album Available Offline' & try exporting a few images.


Let me know if this helps. Thanks!

Hi Sammer, 

 

Thank you so much for your response to the issue on having.

This problem might've have started probably after my most recent update from Mac.

I've been running for several months with no issue then all of a sudden about a week ago this started

I have this issue on my Mac Studio and on my laptop. Both of them are very high end.

The permissions are on.

I have already tried, but I tried again saving these on a different folder. I tried saving them on a remote drive. I tried saving them online on no luck.

 

If I generate a link to share the photo, everything looks perfect.

Some is causing changes not to be saved locally.

Do you think this is related to the recent Mac OS upgrade?

Thank you for your input if you have any other suggestions that I could look into.

 

David

Thanks for sharing these details. Do you include a watermark in your export process?

Also, go to the following location to launch Lightroom via the terminal.
In Finder > Application Folder > Lightroom Folder > Right-click on Lightroom .app > Show Package Contents > Contents > macOS > Lightroom—double-click to open.
Share the log of what you see in the terminal window when Lightroom Launches up to when you try to export. 

 

Thanks!
