How did you fix it? Mine was working amazingly until the last updates a few days ago. The only thing that I use it for mostly is to remove objects that are on astroturf. All of a sudden it's not matching the surrounding astro turf well. I've tried a remote session with Adobe and well over an hour later, it's still just not right. The issue starts with Lightroom Classic doesn't appreciate it when you have 2 Graphics cards on your computer. If you turn both off then the masking tool is fine. If you pick one or pick auto, then using a brush mask, the cursor will bounce all over the screen like a pinball. The newest LRC won't allow me to copy my presets and paste them onto the new image. Because of this, I can't use the newest LRC and, therefore, can't use the newest Photoshop. UGH!!! If Adobe fixes this latest LRC update, maybe I can be more productive again...

Yesterday, Gen fill stoped working as well as it had since it came out and was the beta version. I photograph events taken indoors on astroturf. Often, I use gen fill when I've not framed the subject and need to fill in the astroturf at the bottom of the image because I shot the image too low in the frame. Since yesterday, the AI isn't working as well. It now makes it look horrible. I've been filling the same exact subject matter forever. Now it comes out looking wrong. Sad that Content Aware fill now works better than the AI (gen fill.) It's like they took my Christmas presents away from me. Who stole my candy? This is all I do all day, every day with the exception of the handful of days a year that I photograph these events. So, it's not like I don't know the difference. So sad that now 10% of the images I was able to use are no longer going to be viable and my workflow is going to take me so much longer again... I got spoiled! They've done something to the "I" part of AI in the past two days. I've already been on a remote session with Adobe, so they've seen it. The CSR did not have an answer and will forward this to the development team (I hope!) I've had to roll back to previous versions of both. Working fine again. Please tell me how to stop getting emails from this thread!!!

Thank you, Johan! After trying to find the answer with support from 5:45 last night until 5:40 this morning, that's exactly what was determined. I still had older versions sitting in File Explorer that were causing it. Once they were removed, it solved it. I had 2 service reps who told me that's how the program was supposed to work. ugh! It was a long night~!!! Thank you so much for your response!

ISSUE #2 RESOLVED Generative Fill is now in regular Photoshop. Uninstalled Beta and installed normal version ISSUE #1 RESOLVED Although I had the newest versions of both programs, there was still an older version of Photoshop on my computer in File Explorer. Removing it from my computer and clearing the additional external editing program from Preferences in Lightroom solved the problem. Thank you everyone! I work with RAW files. I've used the same workflow for years. Everything was fine until a few hours ago. I don't use LRC to manage all of my files. I don't import all of them. I take at least 100,000 images during a 3-day event. I move the files that I'm going to work with at the time to my computer. Workflow: I import a single image into LRC, move it to develop, do my edits, and then move the image to PS. When I move that image to PS, all of a sudden a new TIFF file is being saved on my computer. I never asked that image to be saved on my computer. I just wanted it to move to PS. It's never saved that extra TIFF file with my initial edits before. It never saved that extra unwanted file before a few hours ago. That's issue #1. RESOLVED SEE ABOVE Issue #2 is that for years, once I finished working on it in PS and saved it with it's new name, for years, that processed and renamed file would show up back in LRC and could be worked again. I never had to do anything in the past to make that happen. Now, the only thing that's showing in the Library is the original file that I edited and the duplicate that got unwantedly saved to my computer when I moved it from LRC to PS the first time. RESOLVED SEE ABOVE I appreciate your help!

I've been using the same workflow for years. All of a sudden, every time that I move a file from LRC to PS (photo>edit in) that edited file is being saved on my computer without me asking it to. I then do my second set of edits, and save the file with a new name. Usually, that newly named file appears back in LRC in case I need to make any further adjustments, but that's not happening. The only thing that's there is the original and the file that unwantedly got saved when I moved it the first time.

@Andres Curiel, you have the round brush tool when you use select and mask? I did my update yesterday and don't have it.

@CShubert , it absolutely was not fixed. The brush tool area on the toolbar is grayed out and I still have a pointer.

I can only help with that "annoyingly shoving itself to the center of the photo you're working on". Grab that AI Generative fill mini toolbar by the solid white vertical line on the left side of it and pin it to the top of your screen or on the top toolbar. Select the three dots and select "pin bar position" from the drop-down menu. We're all waiting for them to work out the other bugs. Try to install 25.0 to see if some of them were fixed for you.

25.0 still does not have a brush tool for "select and mask". The pointer works, but it's not nearly as accurate or as user-friendly. It worked great in 24.6 and hasn't worked since. I don't understand why that issue wasn't fixed with the 25.0 update.

No! Go to the creative cloud for your account and click on the three dots to the right of your version of LRC. It will give you the option for previous versions. I'm so thrilled to be able to work again!

Thank you!!! That works great, except they still haven't fixed the loss of the brush tool for select and mask. But, at least I can work now. I appreciate you!!!

Thank you, @Xiomara237760820dpj !!! That worked great! I was using Beta 24.6 until they wouldn't let it work 3 days ago. Three phone calls to Adobe didn't fix it. You did!

Try to roll back your LR install to version 12.2.1 to use with PS beta 25. I'm not thrilled either. They still haven't fixed the lack of a brush tool to use with select and mask. Everything was fine in 24.6, but nothing but the newest version 25.0 is working anymore. Good luck!

That would be fine if 25.0 was working properly. Now, you can't use the earlier ones either. Thanks, Adobe! The last time that there was a brush tool for select and mask that worked was with 24.6. Until 2 days ago, I was happily using that version because it worked. Then that one stopped working. After 2 1/2 hours with support yesterday and 2 uninstall and reinstalls, it was determined that 24.7 worked best. Now, that won't work for generative fill. So, right now, you have a great version with 24.6 and we can't use it.

I had gone back to version 24.6, but as of yesterday, the generative fill gives me an error message 400 Bad Request. That leaves me with version 24.7 or 25 and they still haven't fixed the lack of a brush tool for select and mask. What a shame that they did an update and didn't fix it. 24.6 was fine until a few days ago. How do you have an update and not fix what is clearly an issue? They know about it and still didn't fix it. After spending an hour and a half on the phone today with Adobe, much of it on hold waiting, I find out that version 25.0 is having issues. Version 24.6 was great. Why did they mess it up with the 400 Bad Request error? UGH!!!!

I too have gone back to the previous version so that my program works. Now, how do I get rid of the "update available" box at the top of the screen?

I agree with you that there should be a way to set your default position. It's ridiculous to have to have it on top of your work floating around the screen. I put it on the top right of the toolbar. I suggested it weeks ago. I process all day most days, so I generally only have to pin it to the top bar once a day. Love the program, but now have had to reinstall the previous version due to the lack of a circle to select and mask. Now, if I can just get rid of that update available box...

Put your cursor on the white vertical line and drag the task box to where you'd like it. I put mine on the upper right in the top toolbar. Click on the three dots and select "pin bar position "

I think that the majority of users would prefer to have it default to being pinned to the top and if you wanted to move it on top of your picture you could, rather than having to pin it each time.

I would like a selection tool in PS that works like the masking tool in LRC. OR, I'd like to have both Vibrance and individual color sliders added to the masking adjustment options in LRC. I have to correct color contamination from shooting fast-moving animals under fluorescent lighting. Being able to remove specific colors from very specific areas of an image would be so much easier than using the currently available options in LRC. Using the current selection and masking options in PS would be so time-consuming to do the type of adjustments that I need to do that I couldn't afford to do the type of work that I do. Please add a selection tool that's a brush to PS or add vibrance and individual color sliders to the current making options in LRC. Thank you!

I've used the same workflow for years now. It was fine on 8/13/22. On 8/15/22, every time that I try to send a picture from Lightroom Classic to Photoshop using >: edit in, it will open Photoshop but instead of sending the image. It opens the Windows File Explorer. I have already invested 11.5 hours with customer support. I have hope that someone here might have had the issue and know the fix. I'm desperate not to be able to work after just photographing a very large two-day event. HELP!

Thank you for understanding that I just couldn't understand how to do it the way that everyone was telling me. I was still thinking that I had to use that little check box. Nobody ever said, "highlight the entire line of the last action that you want to delete." I assure you that it's my lack of technical expertise. Otherwise, I would have understood it the way that it was being explained. I'm sure that I won't be the only one though. I had no idea that English wasn't your first language. Thanks for your reply. Have a great day!
