Question

Certain photos not exporting from lightroom classic.

Some photos from my catalog are not exporting from classic. When I hit export, the bar will load to complete but never disappear. and it will stay stuck that way.  photos from the same photoshoot will export just fine. I'd say out of 50 photos, 10 will have this exporting issue. 

 

The only way I have been able to export these certain photos is to right click the photo, hit show in explorer, open that photo in lightroom where it will take away any editing i've done, and then export from lightroom into a folder, and import that photo again into classic where it'll have the same file number but with a -2.cr3 at the end, then i'll sync the unedited photo with the edited that won't export and then the new imported one will export just fine. It's exhuasting lol

Ok, I will try again. Moderator moved post while I was editing

 

Can you post in a reply a screenshot from LrC, in the Library Module, showing the entire screen (really really need to include the Navigation Panel, the Folders Panel, the Filmstrip, and the Histogram in this, as they sometimes give clues) with a photo that fails to export selected.

I meant open photo in lightroom vs lightroom classic.

 

This is the how the export bar gets stuck.

 

So i will go to the photo that wont export and right click and hit show in explorer 

 

after the explorer shows up with the folder of the files, i'll right click that raw file and hit open with lightroom (not lightroom classic like i was originally woking in)

 

 

 

once open in lightroom (not classic) i'll right click that photo and export into the same folder that the orignal raw was in as a copy, then import that photo again into lightroom classic, sync the edits on the photo that wont export to the copy of the same photo and it will export just fine.

Your use of Lr as an intermediary (after optionally importing into LrC) and the resultant saving a copy of that photo to LrC is the cause of no LrC edits, and the file name.  Re-Importing is not the way to go.

 

That does clarify my confusion however.

 

Now the issue is what the heck is going on with your original imports. (Hence my other reply asking for a screenshot)

Can you expand upon that "Open that photo in lightroom" part?

What exact steps??

Screenshots may help

Incidentally, this sounds like missing photos

 

note: I would not be at all surprised if the modulators move your post from Bugs to Discussions. I am surprised that they have not done so while I am editing this remark. This does not sound like a bug, but  sounds like a workflow issue, and defiantly not the limited scope of issues that the Adobe Techs see as a bug (hey are very very picky)
