All that is shown on the Online system is a Smart Preview. No matter what type, kind, of file you Sync (Upload) all that is displayed are Smart Previews of the images.

Yep, I read about that. My question is more like a rhetorical question. Why did Adobe make such function if result is not usable???

It's not a complex task from the engineering point of view. From the marketing side this is total fail as well.

Have you tried to simply unsync the image (so it gets deleted from the cloud) and then sync it again?


Yes, I tried. Result is the same

Some more info is needed.

What equipment are you using to view the photo online. The synced file is a smart preview of the original file.
