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

Hello John,

I only selected the 206 photos with issues to perform the AI update. It started OK with the progress pop-up window, but after a few minutes (and progress on 16 photos) another pop-up appeared stating: "Could not update AI settings on 206 photos"

And moreover the 153 photos that had no issues (no red dots) now have the red dots (both on AI Mask as on AI Remove). So definitely the AI update is not doing what it should do...

Not sure where this is rooted? Should I uninstall/reinstall LRC?

Kind regards, Mark


Here are some steps to narrow down where the problem might be. The first two were recommended above but you didn't report back if they helped:

 

1. Disable anti-malware/anti-virus to see if it's interfering (rarely some packages do trip up LR).

 

2. Place a copy of the current catalog folder on your Desktop, delete the copy's .lrcat-data file, and open the copy in LR.

 

3. Create a new test catalog on your Desktop and see if the problem occurs with it.

 

4. Do a clean uninstall/reinstall using the Creative Cloud Cleaner tool.  I doubt this would fix the issue though.

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