I'm getting green boxes around the areas I've edited

[thomasr911]

After the edits, I have green boxes that surround the area where I've edited. When I try to save the image, these green boxes stay in the image. Is there some special key function that can remove these boxes, perhaps that shows where the edit is with in the image but can toggle on and off? For all of the years I've been using LR, never seen these before.

Try to disable the GPU.

Lightroom menu > Preferences > Performance > Uncheck Use graphics processor.

I also had to click on each image to make sure the image would not have the green boxes, so that I could export and save the images. Had 1 that didn't remove the box from the image and the box was not green on that one.

Won't I want to keep the GPU on most of the time, or is it ok to leave off, indefinitely?

[Per Berntsen]

You seem to have a 1920 x 1080 monitor, so you probably won't benefit much from the GPU.

But if you had a 4k or 5k monitor, Lightroom would be very slow with the GPU disabled.

Updating the graphics driver might make it possible to work with the GPU enabled, but since you're on a Mac, I think you have to wait for an OS update, which will also update the graphics driver.

Per,

After all this time, why am I just starting to have an issue like this? Updates from Adobe, that are not updated from Apple yet?

[Per Berntsen]

This is probably caused by a buggy GPU driver, installed with an update from Apple.

So you have to wait for a new update from Apple, and hope that it gets fixed. (I am not a Mac user, but I believe this is how it works. Windows users can update their graphics driver, or any driver whenever they want)

If you're not running the latest version of LR Classic, update to 8.1.

Did you just update to Mojave?

[thomasr911]

No! Have to updated to Mojave yet. Been holding off due to problems associated to updating right away. It’s odd this has been happening all of a sudden. Guessing your end with CC updates.

I wondered about Mojave because of all the issues others are having with it.

I am using High Sierra 10.13.6 on this rMBP. I just tried cropping and about every one of the local adjustments on a 20 Mp D500 raw and don't see any of the issues you are seeing.

Exactly what adjustments have you been doing?

[GoldingD]

Please accomplish the following.

In LR click on Help, click on System Information, click on Copy. Paste into reply

[GoldingD]

So, it shows up in preview used by navigator, in preview used in filmstrip, in preview in develop loupe at 1:1. Both library previews and develop previews.

At what point in the edit steps did it occur?

If you navigate in the history panel, clicking on each state starting from top, working to bottom, does the issue go away? At least in the Develop loupe.

[GoldingD]

And if you reset the edits, still broken?

[GoldingD]

And for one rude inquiry, if viewed in camera?
