Same  Problme  help me, please

[precise_view0900]

edit to add: I have the Macbook Air 2022 model with the M2 chip, 16gb of memory and 512gb of storage -- so storage space isn't an issue.

Olá pessoal, recentemente formatei o Mac aqui de onde eu trabalho, depois disso começou aparecer uma mensagem de erro no Adobe lightroon Classic após a instalação. Alguém teria a solução ?

My lightroom version is up to date. From yesterday I cannot do anything with applying the preset to the photos. Everytime I click the preset, it keeps showing" some masking tool fails to download,  please try again later."

I've already tried to reset the macbook, resign-in the adobe account, reinstall the lightroom, clear the cache, nothing works. 

Anyone has an idea about what happened to my lightroom or my computer? After I tried everything I tend to believe maybe I need a new Macbook Pro……

im having the same problem!!😭

[edna_9736]

if we do this will we lose our presets?

[johnrellis]

Rolling back from LR 14.3 to 14.2 won't lose your presets, preferences, or edits (unless you've used the new Landscape AI masks or a camera newly supported in LR 14.3):

Hello,

Since updating to Lightroom Classic 14.3 on macOS, I consistently encounter the following error when copying and pasting develop settings between images:

"Some masking failed to download. Please try again later."

This issue occurs even when no masks are present in the source image, and only basic settings (exposure, contrast, tone) are being copied.

I have attempted the following troubleshooting steps without success:

- Removing all visible masks

- Resetting the source image

- Disabling GPU acceleration

- Manually clearing Lightroom caches

- Performing a clean reinstall of Lightroom Classic

Reverting to version 14.2 resolves the issue entirely, indicating that this is a bug introduced in version 14.3.

Please address this behavior in an upcoming update (14.4?) and advise if there is a more effective temporary workaround than downgrading and reimporting catalogs.

Best regards,

Olivier Martino

Ich habe einen Katalog mit Fotos zum bearbeiten. Diese Fehlermeldung wird mir angezeigt: Fehlermeldung: Einige Maskierungsmodelle konnten nicht heruntergeladen werden. Bitte versuchen Sie es erneut.

Wenn ich mit der Maus das gewünschte Preset auswähle, wird mir zwar das Foto mit dem gewünschten Look angezeigt, jedoch ändert sich in den tatsächlichen Reglern nichts, sodass das Foto unbearbeitet bleibt.

Ich habe bereits LRC deinstalliert und neu installiert und es funktioniert nach wie vor nicht. 

Vor 8 Tagen kam wohl ein neues Update ich weiss nicht ob es damit zusammenhängt. Selbst wenn ich ein neues Preset anlege, überträgt er es nicht auf die Fotos.

Bitte um Hilfe.

Adobe has acknowledged this bug. See this article for how to roll back to LR 14.2, the only known workaround:

Im having that same issue! were you able to fix it?

[edna_9736]

so doing this fixed the problem?

[mig_04]

update: I had to call adobe tech to assist. The only true fix right now is to go back and Install LR 14.2  and wait for 14.3 to come out with a fix. 

[edna_9736]

I tried uninstalling lightroom classic but it only gives me the option of installing version 14.3 how were you able to get version 14.2?

Hello, I have a problem with the latest version 14.3 of Lightroom Classic. (on Mac OS Sequoia 15.4.1)I've read on various forums that it's a problem that's already been seen in previous versions, but I can't find any solutions. I've worked on a lot of presets, but now I can't apply them to any images, with the message "Download of some Masking models failed. Please try again later". Is this the case for you too? If anyone can help me, it would be a great pleasure. Many thanks in advance! 

[Basit Manzoor]

To all here who were facing the issues while pasting settings and applying presets, i have finally found a way out of this problem, just follow the below steps : 1. go to /Library/Application Support and check whether there is an folder named CameraRaw if not create one. 2. go to this address and download the Modelzoo folder https://pixeldrain.com/u/PbaU7q9S 3. unzip this folder (Adobe Lightroom Classic) and copy the ModelZoo folder from it and paste it into /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw Thats all, you're good to go. For any assistance text me on my instagram @withbaxit.

Guys, the solution is to downgrade back to 14.2 ver. It works for me, my preset finally back to work just fine after countless of re-install, close, etc. :")

[andreapop.fotografia]

Buenas tardes,

Después de actualizar Lightroom Classic a la versión 14.3 al intentar aplicar ajustes prestablecidos me sale el siguiente aviso: "No se han podido descargar algunos modelos de Máscara. Inténtelo de nuevo más tarde."

¿A qué se puede deber este error? ¿Cómo se puede solucionar?

Gracias de antemano.

[julia_donato2944]

Estou com o mesmo problema! Por favor, me ajudem!

[johnrellis]

@andreapop.fotografia,

Two possible workarounds:

- Roll back to LR 14.2 (many report that works):
https://www.lightroomqueen.com/roll-back-update-previous/

- Manually download the ModelZoo folder that LR is failing to download (no reports yet whether this works for other than one person):

Hi Everyone,

I am unable to copy and paste/sync any edits and repeatedly get the message "Some masking models failed to download. Please try again later".  Even when I am not using a mask. I have restarted my computer and opened different catalogs. Would appreciate any help!
