Loupe Info Overlay Not Showing in Develop Module

Participating Frequently

Sadly not. A number of people are suggesting workarounds or fixes, but generally those fixes include restarting, which tends to resolve the issue anyway.

I though that it might be something to do with the creation of new DNG files when using AI denoise, but the new implementation of denoise doesn't require that. I'm getting the issue less now, I think, but still the loupe info disappears periodically, accompanied by frozen star rating indicators.

Same problem here.

I’ve deleted the preference file, manually in Finder, and that didn’t work. Reinstalled LR Classic, didn't work.

So I’ve tried the solution I also found on this community. I have down graded to 14.0 and the problem is gone.

When I tried 14.0.1 part of the problem reoccurred, in develop I could’t see the overly but in Library it was shown.

So for now there is a temporally solution, because DOWNgrading is NOT what I want.

So hopefully Adobe can fix this problem very soon! Please.

Same Issue here. Works fine in some catalogues but won't at all in others no matter what I do. Hoping Adobe will address this.

Just downgraded to 14.0 and it's working again.

Same issue here. Lightroom 14.3 Release.

No overlays, I've checked the menu and View > Loupe info > Loupe info overlay is checked.

How can I update my post? Somehow I can seem to reply to any of the
discussions.

My problem seems to be fixed after I followed this suggestion by JohanElzenga

I have the same issue since updating from 14.0 to 14.3 - but it seems to be catalog-dependent (it only happens with my main catalog). Some additional data points from my case (using an M1 MacBook Pro):

On 14.3, the overlay doesn't show in my main catalog
On 14.3, it shows fine if if I open a different catalog (e.g., same catalog recovered from an earlier backup) or create a new catalog
Downgrading back to 14.0, it shows fine in my main catalog

In short, upgrading to 14.3 broke the overlay functionality just for my main catalog. I've tried optimising it, resetting overlays to default, toggling them on/off via menu items and keyboard shortcuts , but nothing works. Any ideas?

I have the same issue, resetting the preferences worked until it didn't as did re install of LR.

Since my last update to 14.2 release, shortcu I key for information stops working everytime after Import. Usually restarting the program can get it back. Is this a known bug?

There have been a few scattered reports in the last couple of months:

The last person never answered my questions. Unless we can narrow down the circumstances in which this occurs, Adobe isn't going to pay much attention:

1. Go to Library, Loupe view ("e").

2. Do the menu command View > Loupe Info > Show Info Overlay. Do you see the info overlay in the upper-left corner of the Loupe view?

3. Regardless of what happens in step 2, do the menu command View > Loupe Info > Cycle Info Display. Do you see the info overlay?

Thanks for replying. I waited until I updated to 14.3 today, hoping it would have fixed it. No luck. Same thing. It worked after I restarted LR. Apparently Importing killed it. Same thing happens to someone I know. But most people don't seem to have this problem.

Nothing happens after I did 2 and 3.

Thanks again!

Hi again. I have been continuously retrying to update my LR Classic but Loupe Info is always missing no matter what... Until I moved my pending edits to a new catalog - Everything works as they should now!

Sadly I don't think this is a correct answer. I have the same behaviour across multiple catalogues.

Just like to add to this. I've had this issue ongoing through several versions. Today, I noticed that the Loupe Info disappeared and could not be made visible again IMMEDIATELY after using AI denoise (and creating a new DNG). I restarted and tried to recreate it and it did not happen again. But the first time I was looking at the screen as it did the Denoise and the Loupe was there (showing RAW file info) and then when the DNG loaded, the Loupe was gone. Really frustrating.

I'd like to add something to this in the hope that it helps. The loss of the Loupe Info seems to correspond with the star rating in the filmstrip (develop module) no longer updatiung. So when changing the star rating, the dialogue text appears to confirm the rating change, but the actual number of stars showing on the photo in the filmstrip thumbnail remains wherever it was. I had noticed this bug previous but for the first time I noticed that it's happened and the Loupe Info is again missing. I did reply to Rikk\s request for participants but never heard anything back..
