Lightroom Desktop: Not exporting my saved edits
In Lightroom CC on my Mac (High Sierra), when I make edits to a photo and ultimately try to export to full sized JPG, none of my edits are exported. the resulting exported image is a JPG copy of the original image without any of my Lightroom adjustments applied. It doesn't make any sense to me. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Thanks for responding! I can confirm that I am definitely trying to export to JPG and not as original. Here's the output of Help > System Info:

I have read a few forums now, and have several things to fix to problem, and none of them have worked.
Namely:
- Rebooting Lightroom
- Checking for updates
- Checking to see if I had 'original' selected, only to see that I had JPEG selected.
- Changing the image size
- Saving the file, not in a sub folder, but in a new, empty folder.
- Changing Metadata to Metadata >.xmp.
Safe to say none have worked.
I would appreciate any help as this problem has been going on for some time now with no clear solution emerging.

I don't see where you've reset your preference file. After reading the list you've posted here, that would be my next stop.
Close Lightroom
Hold down [Opt/Alt]+[Shift] while launching Lightroom CC
Overwrite the preferences when prompted.
Is it still exporting without edits?

1. Make sure All Syncing is complete.
2. Uninstall the Lightroom CC app via the Adobe Creative Cloud app
3. Restart the computer
4. Reinstall the Lightroom CC app via the Adobe Creative Cloud app.

What I did find, however, is that the issue seemed to stem from custom profiles not being applied correctly (or, at all). The edits would display in the edit panel, but the export (for both local and web) would always be the unedited photo (the thumbnail in the filmstrip would also display the unedited photo).
I do not have a fix, but here is my workaround that has worked so far:
- Make a Copy of the photo that won't export correctly
- On the copy, Reset to Original (Shift+R)
- On the original, Choose Edit Settings to Copy (Shift+Cmd+C) and select all
- On the copy, Paste Edit Settings (Cmd+V)
- The newly created copy should now export correctly.
I hope this workaround works for anyone else having a similar issue. I haven't tried reinstalling my profiles yet, but that might be another potential fix.0

This is frustrating. I think I may just quite my Adobe subscription. It's so user unfriendly when it comes to import/export issues.
