MacOS 12.0.1 Photos Export Issue

I have noticed (recently) that when I export photos either as TIFF or JPEG, that the Retouch changes that I have made are not exported.

If I drag the photos out, the resulting JPEG photo does include the Retouch changes.

I would like to be able to export as TIFF with the retouch changes included, which as previously always worked. Has anyone seem this problem or know of a solution?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.0

Give this a try: boot into Safe Mode according to How to use safe mode on your Mac and test to see if the problem persists. Reboot normally and test again.


NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take up to 3 - 5 minutes as it's doing the following; 

• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed

• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)

• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically

• Disables user-installed fonts 

• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files


If that fails and you don't have iCloud Library enabled launch the library with the Option+Command keys held down to start the library repair procedure.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have tried them and the problem persists.

I have also tried creating a new library and the problem persists.

I have discovered that if I export a photo immediately after editing it (even if it is a null edit), then the export works correctly and the Retouch elements are exported.
