    Hi ​@photosoldier860,

     

    Sorry for the delayed response. Having a lot of presets does not prevent Lightroom (cloud) from applying an effect. The number of presets won’t block changes from appearing.

     

    From your screenshot, I notice:

    • The preset “01 Neon Glow” is selected

    • The Amount slider is at 100

    • But the image preview does not appear to update

     

    Let’s check a few quick things:

    • Try moving the Amount slider slightly left and right. Does the image react at all?

    • Try applying a very strong preset (something extreme) to see if any visible change happens

    • Click into the Edit panel and manually move Exposure or Contrast. Does that change the image?

     

    If manual sliders also don’t update the image:

    • Quit Lightroom completely

    • Restart your Mac

    • Update Lightroom to v9.2 and then try again.

     

    Also confirm:

    • Are you working on a local file or one still syncing from the cloud?

    • Do you see any syncing indicator in the top-right?

     

    If nothing changes after a restart, please share your System Info (Help > System Info) for the Lightroom (cloud) version (just copy & paste here), and I’ll guide you further.

     

    Regards,

    Anshul Saini
