Question

Lightroom CC is not exporting my saved edits

In Lightroom CC on my Mac (High Sierra), when I make edits to a photo and ultimately try to export to full sized JPG, none of my edits are exported. the resulting exported image is a JPG copy of the original image without any of my Lightroom adjustments applied. It doesn't make any sense to me. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Have you managed to resolve this?  I'm having the exact same problem.  If I select Origial+settings it shows the edited version, but I can't add my watermark.  It's very frustrating.

Make sure you select "jpeg" for filetype instead of "original+settings" in the save to dialog in Lightroom CC.

I have run into this issue today. When I export a JPG, Lightroom removes all my edits. When I switch to Original + Settings in the Export >> File Type pulldown, it puts the edits back (which is backwards).

 

I just can't even sometimes with this. I'm trying to export 100s of photos, and now I'm seeing the originals everywhere. Insane.

What happens if you save from Photo Editor | Online Photoshop Lightroom ?

Exporting it from Online Photoshop Lightroom worked, my edits were preserved in the exported version. From LR CC Mac OS app - still no, edits are ignored when exporting to JPG.
