Question

Portfolio syncing Lightroom photos but not edits

When I sync (reset) my Portfolio to match my Lightroom gallery, it updates with my photos but not their edits. Help?

These edits were made and saved the day before, so it doesn't appear to be a lag/delay issue.

Thank you for trying. None of it works. Not resending, not resetting, not publishing. My pictures are staying old.

The worst one is this - it's frozen on my portfolio in this gross, mid-edited state.

 

 

 

Are there any other options where I can go to get help?

 

If I were to give up on Portfolio, what other portfolio website service do y'all recommend?

I've also responded to this forum with this post 3 times and every time, after I hit Post, and then look at it, it disappears. 

Seems like Adobe is refusing my updates all over the place 😂

I see all the posts that didn't go through eventually did... that's embarrassing 😅 I swear they weren't before, not even on different devices!

I think if I just edited the photos elsewhere and uploaded them in that way, I would feel the pressure to fix the Portfolio problem, and I would just use a different Portfolio service.

 

The convenience of being able to edit my photos in Lightroom, in an ongoing manner,  and then "reset" to update my portfolio was such a huge, exciting perk for me, that I'm fighting for it. The idea of tying them together and hitting a manual sync button made my Portfolio feel less stressful, cumbersome and more possible to maintain.

 

I don't want to have to juggle a Lightroom portfolio AND a desktop folder of finished images. I'll have to check and see which images I've already posted to the Portfolio every time I update. I'll have to re-export every time I adjust an image. ...ugh. I'll get confused, lost, and behind easily.

You will need to resed the images. From LrD, on the left panel. 

Find the "All Photos" -> "Connections" -> "Adpbe Portfolio"

Once selected the projects should be visible in the main body. On the desired project, there should be a resend action item on the far right. Select this to send the images over to Portfolio again.

 

Syncing with Portfolio is manually initiated, not automatic.

Thank you for response.

It was a reasonable assumption that I must not know that syncing with Portfolio is manual, but maybe it was unclear what I meant when I said "When I sync (reset) my Portfolio to match my Lightroom gallery, it updates with my photos but not their edits."

 

I know they need to be connected manually and I have initiated the resetting exactly as you just said numerous times. Screen grabs that prove I know how it is done:

 

 

Resetting this multiple times, only to be told to reset it again, adds to my confusion and frustration.

 

Someone please help!

Also feels worth mentioning - I have also tried clearing my browser cache with no success.
