No, I'm in the middle of work, unfortunately. But I can certainly try that later. It has, in fact, just happened again. Again, I opened and resaved the PNG in Photoshop over the original file, and it synced immediately. I also saved another render image two minutes later, and it was fine. It's not consistent.

For context, each time I have the error, which has only been a few times and only recently, it has been noticed on an image saved from Foundry Modo on my Windows machine. I cannot rule that out as a factor. It may be happening on the Mac as well but it has not been noticed. I tend to render on the Windows box and shift to the Mac not the other way around. As the stall seems to have resolved itself eventually, at least once or twice, and it is not consistent it's hard to say. I do not have my Mac and Windows machines networked.
