Unable to export image with mask edits from Lightroom on Windows

Question

I'm sure there's a very simple answer to this, but being the complete noob and not having had any luck finding the answer via any of the tutorials or online guides, I'm hoping someone here can help.
 
After I've applied a "subject" mask and then made the background B&W and the subject color (via the Overlay preset), how do I expprt the image as such - subject in color, background in B&W?
 
When I go to 'Export' like I do with other images I've edited, it reverts to the original where the whole thing is color.
 
What am I missing?
 
Thanks!

Hi,

We're sorry about the trouble with Lightroom. Would you mind telling us the exact version of Lightroom you're using along with the version of Windows you're working on? What export settings selecting while trying to export the images?

While trying to export the images, try selecting the option for Custom Settings & select the desired File Type (apart from Original + Settings). When you make a change to the selected File Type, you might see the original image flash for a second while Lightroom updates the preview of the edited image (this may or may not happen depending on your computers specification).

If the issue persists, try resetting the Preferences of Lightroom by pressing & holding the Shift + Alt keys while launching Lightroom. When you get the prompt to confirm resetting preferences, confirm & proceed.

Let us know if this helps!

Regards,

Nikunj
