Question

Settings could not be loaded. The settings of this photo are too large for this device.

I recently bought an ipad. I am loving editing my photos on it. It's brand new 512gb with only lightroom and photoshop downloaded onto it. However, I have had to reset some of my image's multiple times due to a problem stating "settings could not be loaded. The settings of this photo are too large for this device." I have changed multiple settings, and even stored the photo locally, waited for syncing to complete befor exiting the app. Spontaneously a few hours later it will not allow me to edit the image any further. I have restarted multiple images roughly 4 times now. I've tried waiting to talk to an agent online and have waited 3 hours before not eharing from anyone.

How can I work around this or what do I need to do to fix? I understand it could be an adobe account setting or lightroom mobile setting, syncing issue. It's reached the point were it is costing me valuable time as I've had to edit the sam eimages multiple times. 


This doesn't occur to all images, so I truly dont know how to fix this.

Hey… i have the same issue happened to me. 
an edit i spent hours on and when i open the Lightroom ipad app and open the edited photo and for a second it would show me the edited photo then a sec after it returns to the original photo and shows the exact same message and im to afraid to hit reset ( even though in the thumbnails show the photo edited).  I would hate to lose all that work. 
if you found out a solution, please let me know🙏

@liamhamilton do you remember what kind of edits you've made on this image?
If so, can you recall on all edits where made with the 9.5 version?

Does restarting the device help?

Thanks,
Ignacio
