P: Export Fails with error dialog when Lens Blur is used

Community Beginner ,
Feb 15, 2025 Feb 15, 2025

I discovered this today after a painstaking couple of hours. I am on the latest LRC 14.2. I am not going to bore you guys on how I found this issue but here it is. 

 

Canon R6 MK2. Shooting RAW. 

 

I was working on some wedding photos and was applying adaptive blur Circle to the RAW files. All the RAW files that had this adaptive blur were failing. Good thing I didn't apply this to all images so I was able to go over my steps and figure this out. 

 

I didn't check all the adaptive blur types but this was annoying time lost as I had also done AI enhance on my images which took forever. It doesn't matter if you enhance or not, the issue persists just for the adaptive blur Circle.

I was able to replicate the failure with the DNG provided by @dustinb31538732  and have opened a ticket to investigate. 

When there is an update, this thread will be notified.

Hi @Sabine29465214qtrh,


Thanks for bringing this up. I understand how frustrating it can be when exports don’t work as expected.


To help troubleshoot this properly, could you please share the following details:
1. System Information: (Lightroom Classic → Help → System Info… → Copy and paste that here)
2. Please share the original file.
3. Where are you trying to save the exported image? Internal drive, external drive, or cloud-synced folder?
4. Does this happen with all files or just this one? Try applying Lens Blur to a different image and check if the export also fails.


I’ve tested this on my end with a CR3 file and was not able to reproduce the issue, so these details will help us better understand if this is file-specific, system-related, or a bug.


Thanks, and looking forward to your response so we can get this resolved!

Best,

Anshul Saini

Adobe acknowledged this bug several months ago:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-bugs/p-export-fails-with-error-dialog-when-lens-blu...

 

A workaround is to set Preferences > Performance > Use Graphics Processor to Custom and uncheck Use GPU For Export.
