We use copy/paste edits from one photo to another. It had been working fine up until today. This is the the app on MacBook Air.

  • Laptop is updated
  • App is updated
  • Deleted and re-installed
  • Tried cmnd+c/v
  • Tried manual copy and paste from app
  • Tried different grid views
  • Tried updating the AI Settings on said photos

    Hey, ​@Prisila Photography. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I’ll help you figure this out. 

    Have you installed Lightroom from the Creative Cloud desktop app or via the Mac App Store? Have you recently updated the macOS on this machine?

    Try these steps to get Lightroom to launch:

    • Reset Lightroom by holding the OPT + SHIFT when you launch Lightroom and select 'Yes'.
    • Ensure Lightroom has the required permissions on macOS: https://adobe.ly/3DyUwsz

    Let me know how it goes. 

    Thanks!
