Question

smart collection with only AI features included

(How) can I create a smart collection containing only the photos that have AI features included? I am having some issues with AI-features non updating (AI remove and AI masks). So gathering the impacted photos in a smart collection would help.

Thanks.

If you describe the issue in more detail, we may well have workarounds that have helped others with similar symptoms.

Hello John,
the best description is the one from another community thread:
"Some Remove Settings need to be updated" error occurs repeatedly.

I tried the solution you proposed on July 26 in that thread, but it
doesn't seem to work as the "red dots" remain in the Develop mode,
both for Remove and Mask, after I restarted LRC.

The text "Some remove settings..." remains in the Remove tool and for
the AI masks "Update AI Masks" is active.
Note that some pictures have:
- Only the Remove issue
- Both Remove and Mask issue
(I don't seem to have Mask issues without Remove issues anymore)

For the pictures having both issues, when updating the masks I get a
pop-up Warning:
Skipped (a number) Generative Remove spots

I hope this description is detailed enough to allow you to help.
Many thanks

"it doesn't seem to work as the "red dots" remain in the Develop mode, both for Remove and Mask, after I restarted LRC."

 

Referring to that post:

Did you do step 5 after restarting, which usually makes the red dots go away?

 

"5. In Library, select all photos and do Photo > Develop Settings > Update AI Settings. That will recompute all the AI masks, which could take a while. But it won't update Generative Removes, so you'll have to go to each photo with Remove, click on Remove, and then Update."

 

You wrote: "(I don't seem to have Mask issues without Remove issues anymore) For the pictures having both issues, when updating the masks I get a pop-up Warning: Skipped (a number) Generative Remove spots"

 

That message is LR's very weak, confusing attempt at telling you that the Update AI Settings command doesn't currently work with Generative Remove, which is a beta ("early access") feature.  So as described in step 5, you have to go to each photo with Remove, click on Remove, then Update All:

There are two relevant smart-collection criteria: Develop > Has AI Mask and Develop > Has AI Remove. For example:
