Hello all!

LRC just updated and I no longer am able to ADD or SUBTRACT from masks. Am I the only one having this problem? Perhaps I'm just being dumb and making some type of error??

Thanks in advance 😃

In a first step try is to reset the preferences to the default settings.

  • Reset Procedure:
  • Close Lightroom.
  • Windows: Hold down [Alt]+[Shift] while restarting Lightroom.
    Mac: Hold down [Opt]+[Shift] while restarting Lightroom.
  • Overwrite the Preferences when prompted by the dialog.
  • Close Lightroom.
  • Restart Lightroom.

 

It's recommended to backup your preferences before you reset the preferences to the default settings:

Please Consider including the following in your question:

  • Adobe product and version number
  • Operating system and version number
  • The full text of any error message (s)
  • What you were doing when the problem occurred
  • Screenshots of the problem
  • Computer hardware, such as CPU; GPU; the amount of RAM; etc

 

Please provide also a copy of your 'System Info'. This can be get from the LrC Help > System Info menu item. There's a copy button in the System Info dialog. Press this button and paste the info into your next forum post.

 

My System: Intel i7-8700K - 64GB RAM - NVidia Geforce RTX 3060 - Windows 11 Pro 25H2 -- LR-Classic 15 - Photoshop 27 - Nik Collection 8 - PureRAW 5 - Topaz Photo

Thanks for the info. It will be done as soon as my much yourger, more computer savy, daughter gets here. I don't trust myself to not make a mistake! 😃

Haven't had that problem but whenever I use Camera Raw Filter in Photoshop Beta, the Beta crashes when I exit Camera Raw Filter. Almost all the time.

Ever since I got my new computer with Windows 11, mine continually crashes during masking in LRC. I have sent so many error messages that I'm wondering if that may be the reason its now missing components. Like maybe they tried to fix it and forgot something, LOL

Crashes may be a sign of having the wrong display device driver installed. I would say that is the most common reason for crashes.

 

Where did you send messages?

Select the mask, then you see add and subtract:

 

(I will move this to the Lightroom Classic forum.)
