LR 13.0.1 crashing again with color point selection

Report · Nov 04, 2023

I was one of the ones that was having trouble with the v13 when it came out, where if I used masking, especially the new color point selection it would just suddenly stop working and then crash. I thought 13.0.1 fixed it but it's not a feature I use a LOT.

Today, it's crashing again. I worked on one two photos. Those were fine. The next one? Crashed. Even just clicking on that photo causes it to crash and I can't do anything else. I feel a like it might be connected to my copying the masks from a previous photo and pasting them as that was when it crashed but I'm not sure. I've again walked it back to 12.5 as this is unusable for me.

I'm not sure if this is connected to a bug that's still being worked on or not. But it seems like I just can't use the color point selector at all.

A few inquiries//observations.

First up, with use GPU on in /preferences/performance/

You stated that if you select the Point Color while in a mask, and use the color picker to point to a color, LrC crashes, correct?
If you work on an image but not in a mask, and use the Point Color, does LrC crash?

Second up, with use GPU off.

If you work on an image with no mask, and use the Point Color, does LrC crash?

Similar thing happened to me, resulting in a corrupted catalog. Spent hours with tech support earlier this week trying virtually everything, but no luck. I ended up having to install a backup catalog, which cost me 2 weeks' of editing, but at least LR was working ok again...until I used the color point selection in a mask, then it crashed. Have not had a problem using the color picker when NOT in a mask, and using/ not using GPU doesn't seem to matter.
