Ai Masks/Healing constantly undo and need updated. "Update Ai Settings"

  • March 24, 2023

Ai Masks/Healing constantly undo and need updated.  For example:

 

- Use Ai mask on a few photos through-out a photo set.

- Go through photos to make sure I'm happy before exporting and see the error "Some Ai masks need updated" 

- Update all Ai error messages through-out the photo set.

- Go through the photos again before I export and I see the same message again.

 

This is infuriating me as I now need to update two Ai settings and then export those two photos and move on to the next two Ai errors to export those separately.  This is the only way for me to export photos with Ai settings working.

 

I've just got a a brand new MacBook Pro 16-inch M2 Pro 12-core CPU 19-core GPU 32GB/1TB and one of the main reasons I updated was because I thought my last laptop wasn't powerful enough to handle the Ai on Lightroom.  Turns out, it's just a bug?!

Correct answer GoldingD

In the same folder as where your catalog is kept, a separate file should exist that keeps the AI masks, it will have the name syntax of "catalogname.lrcat-data". Perhaps a permission issue exists, perhaps it got corrupted. You might try closing LrC, then rename or move that file. Then restart LrC. All AI masks will need to be updated. 

 

To update all AI masks, select Photo > Develop Settings > Update AI Settings.

(I do not know if you have to select the images for that command to be available or work)

Not to be dramatic or anything but this issue is ruining my life.

Every single time I open LRC to work on my clients wedding photos!!!!!  It is EXHAUSTING!!  I find this  inexcusable on ADOBE's part.  We pay $60/m for this?????  Get the bugs out or i'll be canceling and owning my own software editor from another company!

When does it happen?  every instance of opening LRC from a closed state.

What do i experience? all masks, Remove, heal, clone,blur, Denoise, crop edits that I make from the previous session are needing to be updated.... not just a one button update, but I have to click on every mask created find the subject/object/preset used and update it.  Also if I update the masks first, then go to the Blur and update that, next I have to RE-update the masks, crop, remove/heal/clone, etc... all over again!  

What needs to be fixed?  If I need to update, it needs to analyse and know the sequence of priority for a one button push update on all!   I really should not have to do the update if it would just save to the catalouge properly.  I have LRC set to ask me to save the cat file every time prior to exit.  

 

This bug is a big time waster and is costing me time and money!  Fix it Adobe! or I'm gone!
