Hi,  
I am using Roboflow to export segmentation masks. But the problem is that lets say I upload 2500 images which are annotated already, roboflow shows me 2500 images. But as soon as I save and continue, the number of images are reduced. I cannot understand why is this happening? I have created the project using segmentation.

No, it’s not at the point of data exportation. After uploading the pictures, it’s the point: When I press save and continue. The source images are reduced. But when I export, the number of images is the same.

Hi @kanwar

Usually, I see this behavior when there are duplicate images. Is there a chance there are any duplicate images in the 2500 images that you’re uploading?
