Edited Image WITH Masking is NOT Exporting

Report · Oct 22, 2023

Hi there! My Lightroom Classic just updated to the new version like it does every year with no problems. THis time however, when I am using my masking brushes (IE skin moothing, or eye enhancing), it is not rendering TO the export. I brushsed about 60 photos of an amazing halloween shoot to enhance the make up and when I go to my exported photos, the masking is not on the photos. Is this a bug in the new update? I have 3 weddings, 2 halloween shoots and a senior session to edit and use brush work on about half my photos with faces! Please help.

"I brushed about 60 photos of an amazing halloween shoot to enhance the make up"

I cropped the screenshot to just the photo and then opened it and the exported JPEG in Mac Preview to make it easy to compare. Other than the loss of detail resulting from the reduced resolution of the screenshot (495 x 744) compared to the JPEG (6336 x 9504), I can't see any differences. Here's the screenshot followed by the exported JPEG:

If you see differences, can you point out precisely where?
