"Some AI Settings need to be recomputed" / proceeds to ruin photo (smartly, I made a duplicate)

[ArtaCreative]

Adobe,

You only give a seven day trial - which is not enough to go through each of your products.

   

Secondly, this being my first experience ever with Lightroom (today and yesterday), I'm supposed to be giving you $80/month for this?

Maybe let me test for 30 days........ So I can make sure you aren't going to screw up my operations and cost me.

Thanks

Also these messages keep popping up. How do I get rid of them.

I DON'T WANT THE AI SETTINGS RECOMPUTED NO MATTER HOW AWESOME YOU THINK YOUR AI IS.

I WANT THE DECISION. THE CHOICE.

And I also want to know, which settings are going to be affected..... Why leave us in the dark? Your AI is not tht good yet. Sorry.

Extremely, terrible thoughtless UX and data safety here. The nerve to ask for $80/month forcing me to use the entire product range instead of what I just need.

Bumping as a warning to others.

Also give us the ability to undo the AI change.

That generally means you have used an AI-based mask and later used the Remove tool in that area, so the mask needs to be updated. Imagine you've created a sky mask and there's a bird in the sky... then you remove the bird, so the sky mask needs to be updated to remove the bird too, otherwise you're left with a ghost. The same thing can happen if you use Lens Blur and then remove. You can just say yes to it (it doesn't affect things you'd need to know about), or you could learn to do things in the optimal order so you don't keep seeing it.

Since you think the software is so awful, and therefore won't be purchasing, I'm not quite sure why you're complaining about the pricing. However, if you have any questions about the different plans available, we'd be pleased to help. For example, the Photoshop & Lightroom plan starts from just $9.99.

Well,

thanks for taking the time to reply.

It's the combination of price+problems - had problems with Acrobat making it so I could no longer copy/move/open/rightclick in PDF files.

My Acrobat knowledge is limited to my own usage, so I would suggest you ask the experts on the Acrobat forum, but it appears that you've been posting over there too. Your posts over there also appear to be only looking for arguments rather than help, so while I'm really sorry we were unable to assist you, 7 days seems quite long enough.

[ArtaCreative]

Time is money, and Adobe made 5.5b last year.

No 7 days is not enough, if you are running a mission critical operation. In the audio world, trials are 30 days, same in the video world and even office software such as Office 365, is 30 days.

Some of the stress tests I run take a day, sometimes longer. 

Adobe will only change their ways, when everyone stands up and complains - it creates a visible market opportunity for competitors.

Hi @Victoria Bampton LR Queen  I read this answer you gave to someone else about the message that keeps popping up saying "Some AI settings need to be recomputed". I have a question about this, what can I do if after pressing the update button it just shows a new message that says "Something went wrong"???  there is no update app available or something like that  and I dont know how to proceed. Thank you very much if you can help

Hi @Laura37859372n5jb, sorry for the delay replying, I've been away. In this context, something went wrong is often a conflict with the graphics driver. If you're still stuck, we'd need more information on your system, which you can find under Help men > System Info.
