Glad to help. This new feature drive me nuts too!!!

Glad you enjoyed the video! I have some other great tutorials that I think would be really good for you. Check out my LRC Library and Develop tutorials.

Unfortunately you are not alone. I have done a bit of research and it appears that it might be some sort of bug causing the issue. Other people have had the same problem and at least some of them were able to resolve the problem by resetting the Photoshop Preferences. I have pasted a post from the Adobe Photoshop forum below that might help you resolve the issue. Resetting preferences helps with a multitude of isues, here's some more info about that for anyone contemplating it: Resetting Photoshop preferences (read this entire post before acting please) Resetting restores Photoshop's internal preferences, which are saved when Photoshop closes. If they become corrupt then various issues can occur. Here’s some info on how to do that: helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html Manually removing preferences files is the most complete method for restoring Photoshop to its default state: helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#Manually Note re macOS: The user Library folder is hidden by default. To access files in the hidden user Library folder, see here for how to access hidden user library files. helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/access-hidden-user-library-files.html Unexpected behavior may indicate damaged preferences. Restoring preferences to their default settings is a good idea when trying to troubleshoot unexpected behaviors in Photoshop. check out the video helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#reset_preferences Learn how to access and modify Photoshop preferences and customize per your frequent workflows helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html And here’s an earlier forum discussion as an aid to understanding community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/quick-tips-how-to-reset-photoshop-pre... You may want to backup your settings and custom presets, brushes & actions before restoring Photoshop's preferences. Here is general info about that: helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#BackupPhotoshoppreferences Before you reset your preferences in case of future issues, I suggest you make a copy as Adobe may need one to check problematic references. Quit Photoshop. Go to Photoshop's Preferences folder Preferences file locations: helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/preference-file-names-locations-photoshop.html\ [on MacOS see: Users/[user name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop [version] Settings Note for those on macOS: - be aware that the user Library folder is hidden by default on macOS. helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/access-hidden-user-library-files.html In the Finder, open the “Go” menu whilst holding down the Option (Alt) key. Library will now appear in the list - below the current user's “home” directory. ] Now you can drag the entire Adobe Photoshop [Version] Settings folder to the desktop or somewhere safe as a back-up of your settings. Note for those on macOS: Preference preservation is affected by macOS permissions, you’ll need to allow Photoshop ‘Full Disk Access’ in your Mac OS Preferences/Security and Privacy It may even be time to reinstall Photoshop. It’s recommended that you use the Adobe CC cleaner tool to remove all traces first. (See above about preserving preferences though! Its worth preserving them unless they are corrupted.) helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html Uninstall Photoshop BUT make sure to choose the option “Yes, remove app preference”. Once that process finishes, start the installation process and look into the “Advanced Options”. Uncheck “Import previous settings and preferences” and choose to “Remove old versions”.

Your welcome!

Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for commenting

Hi, are you sure you're opening a file that has been edited in Photoshop and saved with layers? This dialog box only appears when you're heading back to Photoshop, you will not see it if the file has not been edited in Photoshop before. The dialog box is still part of the latest version of LRC. If you do not see it, you are either experiencing a bug or you are doing something wrong such as trying to open a file that has not previous been edited in PS. To start i might try to restart your computer and see if that fixes the issue. Hope this helps.

@@naturemikephoto thanks for the reply .. let me try everything tomorrow morning! Yes… I’m sure I’m doing it wrong.. will keep you posted ..

Also, I just checked on my version of LRC 13.3 and when I right click / control click on the folder it still says synchronize folder. Are you using a PC by any chance? Some times there are slight nuances between mac and pc working in the software but as far as I knew, the PC version also said "Synchronize Folder." Lastly, make sure you are using LRC and not LR

@@naturemikephoto lol.. sorry! I am using LR.. .. downloading LRC now.. Thanks for that .. imagine us going on for years and years trying to figure this out.. lol

That explains it. Glad to help

I’m not sure about that one. I’m currently traveling and cannot check. I suggest submitting the issue on the LRC bug/feature request forum

This is the first time I’ve heard of this happening. It is most likely a bug causing the issue. What camera do you use? Unfortunately, the only way to get them back will most likely be to revert to an older version. I suggest trying 13.1 since that upgrade required a catalog update. If you know what photos already have the profiles applied to them in your catalog, you could try syncing those settings with the new photos and see if that works while you wait for the next update. It’s a pain I know. I suggest reporting to Adobe on the Adobe Photoshop LRC bug report forum.

Thanks for watching and commenting!!!

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching and commenting

Yes, there is a 13.3.1. That was the original 13.3 release and the one that would have required you to upgrade your catalog. The most current version is LRC 13.3.4. You might try to upgrade to that one to se if it helps with the catalog. You will not need to rebuild the catalog during the upgrade. Alternatively, you could try downgrading to 13.3.1 but I would try 13.3.4 first.

Thanks for commenting. Yeah, I hate she. I’m trying to figure out how to do a simple thing such as change a camera setting in a camera that is not mine and I have to watch a twelve minute video just to get to the point that should have taken less than a minute.

Hi Franzzz, the Denoise should work. I’m assuming that you are talking about the AI denoise? Just do you know that csn only be applied to Raw photos and cannot be applied to images that have already been denoised or had other special enhancements such as Raw details or super resolution. Have you tried restarting LRC? Also make sure that you are using the most current version of LRC

@@naturemikephoto I'll try it again later. So if I don't have the latest LRC version , the ai denoise won't work?

That feature is relatively new, so using an older version could certainly cause it to be unavailable.

@@naturemikephoto im using 13.2 on the pc without GPU while the other is 13 would that cause an issue?

Honestly, I’m not sure. It found also be some sort of bug.

Hi, great question. I i’d like to keep the catalog folder solely for catalog related items such as the catalog and smart previews and things like that. That’s why I create the photos folder and that’s where I store all the photos and you could put that photos folder into the catalog folder if you wish. It certainly won’t hurt anything it’s just a matter of preference.

@@naturemikephoto thank you for the clarification!

Thanks for sharing this.

Thanks for the heads up, I’ll look into this.

Thanks Doug!

Thanks!

🙏🙏🙏🙏

What operating system are you using? You might try to update your OS and see if that helps. Otherwise I suggest downgrading to the older version and repot the bug to Adobe on the LRC bug report forum.

Sorry to hear that. I recommend reporting the issue on Adobe’s bug report forum

I think it depends on the size of the object you’re trying to remove. Yes, large objects will still most likely need some cloning.

You are the first person that I have heard say that. Are you positive that you are using version 13.3?

@@naturemikephoto Yes, pretty sure. But I just don’t have that AI feature.

Hmm. That seems very stance to me. Maybe contact Adobe

Absolutely

Yeah, it’s a huge time saver. Some folks seem to be having trouble with it but I have found it em to work much better than previous methods of removing objects

I agree also, I don’t see what the folks are crying about. It works fine and will only get better over time. Nice improvement.

Not that I know of, ha ha!

The most useless and frustrating tool ever. Might as well not have it there

I curse it out loud … lol

Dog shit.

I have the same thought, both Lightroom and Photoshop are Adobe, why doesn't it work the same way this freakin' tool ? Are there really separate teams and engineers working on this? Then I know which team's winning here :-D

Possibly because the remove tools in Photoshop are destructive to the image while Lightroom does nothing to the pixels in the original image.

In theory the generative remove tool should act the same as generative fill but I have not done extensive testing clothe two

I don’t know if I’d go that far. personally I’m not a huge fan of ai but it definitely makes removing objects easier.

Thanks for commenting! Glad you enjoyed it.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Haha! Yeah, that might be too big of an ask.

Premiere, their video editing software runs smoother and more efficiently than Lightroom 😂

Sorry to hear about your troubles. It euros fine on my m3 and intel based Macs. You might want to downgrade until the next update and in the meantime let Adobe know on the lr bug report forum

Wait, you can still get pirated LRC? That’s crazy. I had no idea. If it’s current, I would guess so, if not, then definitely no.

That would be a good addition

@gaston are you saying that you want the ai remove tool to be able to target specific colours?

Thanks for the comment

Thanks, unfortunately there is no way to add to the lens selection but you could go onto adobe’s LR forum snd request a specific lens. The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Ok thank you . I'll try that

Not a bad idea, I like it.

I would suggest putting all of the photos into a parent folder or collection and then expiry that as a catalog. Since you want to start fresh, you would not need to move the photos after exporting as catalog. You could simply open up the newly exported catalog and start working from there. I’m not sure what the ramifications of dragging and stopping are do I would not recommend that. Once you get everything sorted I highly recommended watching my video on backing up. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHbVXmqXoa6Xarc

Hello, you do not need to set anything up. All you need to do is upgrade to the newest version of Lightroom and the option will be there to filter exported or non-exported photos.

No problem, thanks for commenting.

Yes, you will need to be connected to the internet just like generative fill in Photoshop. The generative ai utilizes Adobe Firefly.

Thanks for the comment. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Glad you enjoyed the video. I think snapshot are one of the most useful features in LR

Did you make sure to update to the latest version of LRC? I’m not a Sony shooter so I was not able to do any testing on the new feature. You might want to report the issue on the LRC forum

@@naturemikephoto Yep, latest version of LrC and latest firmware on my a7iv

Sounds like a bug then. Adobe is pretty notorious for bugs. I’d report the issue using the bug report forum on their website.

I am on the latest version firmware on my A7iv and it works with the new LR

Thanks for watching!
