P: Library Previews not updating

[Paul Tansley]

This hasn't ever happened to me previously and I edit hundreds of images a day, as a wedding photographer. Has only appeared since latest update (so far as I've seen). 

Edit an image in Develop mode, normally the thumbnail at the bottom would auto update with the new preview/look. It doesn't anymore. Go to Library mode to check, no, no update to the preview, it's still the old look. Force rebuild standard preview (and 1:1 preview) no effect. The Library preview will not update to the new look created in Develop mode. 

Quit LR, then restart it, the preview is updated. 

Even did a Sync of one process, which was converting to BW across 5 images. Four of the images changed profile to the new look, the 1st image in the group didn't. Stuck with previous old version of the look. Quit and restart LR it changed to new look. 

MacOSX 10.15.7

What about using the import button, with the option to build 1:1 preview on import for just one time, and then seeing if that somehow resets the Lightroom bug?

This was also something that I did before noticing that the bug went away, but I didn't know whether or not it was part of the cause.

11.3.1 on Apple M1 has the same issue.

Well I guess if they moved the bug report out of the bugs section, maybe the bug will not be looked fixed.

Setting status to Investigating

Some customers are reporting that reverting to 11.2 provides relief on the issue. This can be used as a workaround until an update is released.

Hi, all! The latest update with Lightroom Classic 11.3.1 has become a huge time suck. When I edit, I like to apply the same settings to the other images taken in that same spot/lighting. And then I usually hit N to bring up those pics in LIBRARY view to compare them all and make sure the settings work on each one. Or I will cull down to my fave few of the batch. 

Well with the latest update, the synced settings take a significant chunk of time to apply. And in my normal workflow, if I apply the sync settings and hit N like I normally do, the edits don't apply at all to the images when in LIBRARY MODE. I have to go out back into DEVELOP mode and then wait for the settings to update (and sometimes, they don't until I open the image in the main stage. The thumbnails will not reflect the changes.  So I have to literally go through each pic until the settings update. This is a huge wrench in the efficient process I have honed over the past 15 years. Is this something others are experiencing? Here is an example. In case it's not clear in the video, I start off doing the “Ctrl + Shift + S" to apply the same edits to the selected photos.

There have been many reports about previews not updating after copy/sync:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/p-sync-settings-not-applying-settings-t...

Try rolling back to 11.3, 11.2, or 11.1.

Same here.  My develop edits are not displaying when I return to grid View.  It's very annoying.  I am trying to process thousands of images for weddings and I cannot quickly assess my work without the Grid View showing my edits.

I also have this problem. I'm on the latest version of LR clasic as of 5/5/2022. The sync setting copy, it's just random thumbnails that don't update for me. Sometimes going into dev mod for the image will update the thumbnail. If I exit LR they will update on restart.

[rceton123]

Thumbnails for random images not updating in LR classic on windows 10 when using Sync Settings/Synchronize from the Library Module. Selecting the image and rebuilding the preview show message that all previews are up to date. Thumbnail still doesn't update. I have to exit lightroom and restart for the thumbnails to update. The sliders show the setting were transferred, it's just the thumbnails that doesn't update. I’m on the latest versions of the apps. 11.3.1. I see where others have reported similar issues.

I am also experiencing this issue, and it has only started happening within the past month.  I'm on Windows 10 Pro, version 21H2, with Lightroom Classic 11.3.1.  Any adjustments I make in the Library module (typically via Auto Tone or other Quick Develop options) do not reflect at all in the Library preview.  However, the adjustment badge shows up on the photo in the filmstrip, and the edits show when I switch to the Develop module.  Only when switching back to Library from the Develop module does the preview finally update.  As a note, the histogram also does not change until I go to the Develop module.

Restarting the application via Edit > Preferences > Restart Lightroom Classic resolves the issue temporarily, but it has consistently come back.  I haven't yet observed the cause or timing.

I did the reset and it worked for a few minutes and then reverted back to not working. It seems often I can see the correct image in Develop, but I do most of my work from Library so it's not ideal to go back and forth. I am trying to do keywords and looking on the back of old film print photos for information, so not being able to rotate them as I always could until a couple weeks ago is adding a lot of time to my workflow. Any other ideas how to get rotate to work? Sometimes I literally try more than a dozen times in the library module trying to get it to rotate. This is a new problem, so I assume a bug. I am on a Mac.

[Ruth24337810c5r3]

This worked for a few minutes, then it reverted to not rotating no matter how I tried to do the commands. I've used Lightroom for years and this problem only appeared a couple weeks ago with no change from my end so I assume it's a bug.

Moderators, @Rikk Flohr: Photography, I think this is another instance of Library previews not updating:

[Castle Photo Pro]

I'm having the same issue on PC

[Felipe.Castro]

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try it.

The problem ususally goes away after restarting and, after a while, it shows again.

I'll mark it as correct in a few days if the problem doesn't come back.

[johnrellis]

Lots of people have been reporting that Library previews aren't updating properly:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-bugs/p-library-previews-not-updating/idi-p/12897363 

11.3 and 11.3.1 are much buggier than usual, so rolling back to 11.2 might be something to consider.

As suggested, I tried by resetting LR preferences.  It didn't make any difference, the problem is still there.

[Michael2435671021q8]

nach zuschneiden eines Fotos werden die neuen Abmessungen nicht in der Bibliothek angezeigt. Es wird weiterhin die Originalgröße bei Freigestellt angezeigt. Das ist seit dem letzten Update leider so.

[asp128]

Hello.

When an edit applied in Develop mode is synced across a number of images, it reverts back to the original on some of the images when I come out of Develop and go into Library mode.

If I fully open up one of these images it may or may not put the synced edits back on,  but more often than not they will then disappear when I scroll onto another picture.

What is happening?  I have never had this before.

FYI,  plenty free space on Windows PC (40%)

Many thanks.

[asp128]

ps.  Just to add,  LRC has been completely deleted and reinstalled without any improvement.

[MattStokesPhotography]

Ok. I spoke to soon. Still having isssue. See attached video. You can see that if I'm looking at it in Shortcut "D" mode it shows the crop, and if I'm in Shortcut "E" mode it does not. Very frustrating. 

[MattStokesPhotography]

Here's another example. This is very frustrating as it's a big part of my workflow. I will attempt to make a couple underexposed images match the rest of the batch and as I go back to look through them to see if the edit has accomplished that I don't get to see that edit. Please fix this!

[Earth Oliver]

Yes, this has been an ongoing issue for at least six months now and i guess it's getting worse.
