I am having issues that Lr synchronizes pictures in the wrong order. Meaning when I edit a picture on Lr mobile and then open LR classic on my Mac the edited pictures gets overwritten by the non edit picture from the Mac. What is going wrong and how can I undo this wrong sychronization.

Latest version of course on mobile and Mac

macOS

Greetings Tobias,

I would like to find out more about this failure mode. Does this happen to every image edited in Lightroom Mobile or just occasionally?

Hi Rikk,

I was importing Raws in LR Classic CC then creating an album to be synched into the cloud which all worked fine as I started to edit the files on LR mobile 8.2.2 (Mac turned off) . LR mobile has of course mobile sync on and a files have been as well downloaded locally on mobile Lr with "local saving" or in German "Lokal speichern" turned on in the Lr mobile.

Afer I edited the 400pictures I wanted to synch the edits of course back to Lr 12.2.1 in order to export for a customer. During the synch unfortuntly the non edited pictures on Mac got synched back to Lr mobile meaning the edited pictures have been overwitten and I could restart my work.

Unfortunaly I think there is no way to re-do a synch (Alt Z) as for other functions. Only workaround is at the moment to check with https://lightroom.adobe.com/ in advance reg. synch status. But there should be a check on Lr CC and LR mobile which edit is more actual from a time stamp perspective and warn users that there is an issue reg. Synchronization.

Regards

Tobias

Thank you for the information @tschnurr unfortunately, it didn't answer the question I asked earlier
"Does this happen to every image edited in Lightroom Mobile or just occasionally? "

I am also having difficulty understanding the flow of events in your description. I need to do that to create a reproducible case. As I understand it this is what happens:

Import Raws in LrC
Create Collection and Sync to Cloud
Open synced collection on iPad
Set collection (now Album) to download local copies
Edit Images
Allow Edits to sync back to cloud
Open LrC

At this point it falls apart?
You get the files from step 2 without the edits from step 3 syncing back to your iPad?
You get the files from step 1 remaining on your Desktop without the edits from step 5?

If between steps 6 and 7 you interroagate https://lightroom.adobe.com what do you see? Step 2 Originals? Step 5 edits? Something else?
