P: Copy/Paste and Sync Features causing photo to haze/gray out after updating LrC

I just updated my LrC to v 12.4 this morning and now when I try to copy/paste settings in the develop tab to a new photo, the new photo is hazed out and flat looking. If I reset the settings and put them in manually, it looks correct, so it has to be an issue with the copy/paste. Please help this is slowing down my work flow tremendously.

Lately, when I copy my edit on a photo to paste to one or a series of photos within Lightroom Classic the paste function will paste, but it will paste the edits with faded colour (not looking the same) All the sliders are pasted, but the image is faded. Not sure why this is happening as it wasn't happening when I first downloaded Lightroom Classic. Does anyone have an idea why this is happening? It makes editing each picture individually a really long process. Thank you

So I've made a couple presets for a photoshoot I did recently but when I go to apply these presets to the rest of the photos the HSL and some other settings are not being pasted with it. It is not the different light situations in each photo because I did this in a studio session so all of the photos are lit the same. I can't figure it out.

In ACR thanks to a subset is possible to automatically check the modified settings and copy/sync/preset them.

 

 

LrC should have that option as well.

 

LrC users should not have to waste their time and be required to check the active setting(s) one by one.

Copy-paste settings are not working correctly. And it causes a lot of problems in post-processing. It takes a lot of time to edit one whole catalog.

Your original subject said "autosync", but did you really mean Auto Sync:

 

or regular Sync:

 

If you meant regular Sync, then make sure all three Curve boxes are checked:

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

 

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post if it helps you get responses.

It has been asked over and over to allow to compare settings between photos.

 

Users affected by this issue should try/use the Compare Edits plug-in (which alas works only on two images): http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/bag-o-goodies#compare-photo-edits

 

The plug-in will tell you exactly what edits are different.

Thank you to everyone who said to check the curve option in the copy settings box! It worked!

Hello,

I need help. I set the preset on one photo and after copying it to the other photos they become completely different than the original ones. the problem appeared after updating LR and changing the computer. Maybe you have an idea what could be wrong? All the necessary options for synchronization are selected, there are no masks 😞 This makes it very difficult to work 😞 Thank you very much.

 

Best regards,

Sylwia

@kimpphotography You can use Auto Sync or you can use Copy Settings Plug-in  by @johnrellis

I recommend the latter.
