Preview - not editable

[Ben Jenss]

I've searched and searched, I'm shure it's something simple and I'm being an idiot, but I can't edit my synced photos in LR on ipad. All menus are grey, and when I tap the cloud symbol it says: Lokal: Preview - not editable. Not photos synced from LR Classic on my mac, nor photos taken on the ipad itself.

Long time lightroomer, new to LR CC.

Any help appreciated.

Hi,

please try out our 5.3.1 release and let us know if it helped.

Thanks,
Ignacio

Thanks, Ignacio. I first updated to the latest .1 of ipad OS, and then updated Lightroom to 5.3.1, it was 5.2.5. I had no real hopes, but wouldn't you know; LR editing now works as far as I can tell!

Now, I don't what was wrong, really, and what fixed it, which is a bit annoying...

I guess you also don't know why this was, and why in the cloud symbol it said: Lokal: Preview - not editable. At first I was pretty shure that it wasn't LRs fault, that it was me not setting it up correctly. And I still think that might be true and that either the OS or the LR updates reset something that I had messed up.

By the way; now when I tap the cloud symbol it says: Local - Smart Preview, and Cloud Backup - Smart Preview. The photos haven't changed; they are Smart Previews synced from LR Classic and a few shot on the ipad.

Any thoughts?
