AI "Disabled For Local Images"

[SC-Agency]

OK, I admit I normally use Camera Raw for quick edits, but jump in Lightroom time to time. 

Trying to apply Recommended Presets and get the error:

"Disabled for Local Images. To get AI based suggestions from the community, sync and edit in the cloud."

• If I click the cloud icon top right it says, Synced and Backed up.
• If I right click the image there is no option to "edit online" or "edit in the cloud."
• In Photoshop if I want to use generative fill and other AI features it just works. I don't have to sync or go online somewhere.
  
  

I've used Ai and search only and can't find how to do this. My image is in a folder. I don't see how to create or move it to a collection if that is the answer. Just would be helpful if Adobe had steps to enable this feature.

Thanks for some direction. Seems like some better UI/UX would help here.

Thanks Rikk. Couple of thoughts.

Would it' make sense to add that option under the error in the Presets panel? Also, the language from the right click context menu doesn't match the error. "Copy 1 Photo to Cloud" is different than "Sync and Edit in Cloud."

Why in LR can't it use the power of the Cloud inherently like Photoshop? In PS you don't have to copy your photos to the Cloud in order to use generative fill, neural filters, etc.

Also, when editing the LR photo in the cloud if you apply a present and slide the slider to the left, even all the way to zero it does not remove the present visibility as it should. In fact, if you go all the way to zero the preset settings and tone are still applied a fair amount. Something is glitchy there.
