P: Lightroom Classic: Applying develop preset to multiple images transfer all settings

Issue: things get messy when applying preset to multiple images from multiple cameras

Lightroom Version Number: 10.4
OS Version Number: Windows 10pro build 19042.1237

Steps to reproduce:

1. select multiple images from multiple cameras (experienced with around 250 from 4 cameras)
2. apply preset to all images with auto sync on (preset modifies: Basic: only vibrance and saturation, then some values on tone curve, HSL, effects) - profile is ISO adaptive

Expected result: your preset gets applyed to those setting only, and you start working happily
Actual result: your preset messes up: White balance, profile, noise reduction (luminance), and maybe some others that I didn't notice. Then you get frustrated, downgrade to Lightroom v10.3 and all works smoothly again...

Adobe Lightroom Classic Version 10.4 

Windows 10 Pro BuildNumber 19043

When I select a User Preset sometimes the image is Cropped and sometimes it is transformed. This happens frequently but not all the time.

Thanks!

why aren't big bugs like this hotfixed? Why does it take (already) more than a month before a patch is released? Why are game developers able to release patches so much faster than Adobe? People's jobs don't depend on playing games, yet those companies are so much more responsive than what we see here... why?

"Now how in the heck is 'crop' being applied when it isn't even a choice when creating an adaptive preset?"

The bug causes all (or most?) of the source photo's develop settings to be copied to the target photo, regardless of what's set in the preset. Until it's fixed, you'll have to use the workaround posted in my previous reply.

The issue is further complicated. With a applying an adaptive preset to multiple photos, the crop position of the first photo used in creating the adaptive preset is applied to each of the photos.  Now how in the heck is 'crop' being applied when it isn't even a choice when creating an adaptive preset?

Issue: Auto Sync of a Preset causes White balance to be updated

• Lightroom Version Number: 10.4
• Camera RAW: 13.4
• OS Version Number: Windows 10 Pro for workstations version 20H2

Steps to reproduce:

1. Take a few RAW photos at different times of the day with white balance set to Auto (eg sunrise, mid afternoon, sunset) . Or take some in daylight and others in different indoor artificial lights. The idea is to record different color temperatures and tints with the Auto setting.
2. Import the RAW files into Lightroom Classic
3. Switch to Develop Module
4. By default the white balance will be set to "As Shot" and the files will show different Color Temperatures and Tints.
5. Select all files. The first file will be highlighted lighter than the others to show it is the active file. You can at this point highlight any other file you wish to apply the preset to.
6. Switch on Auto Sync.
7. Select a preset to apply to all files. The preset should not be updating the white balance. For example I use a preset which switches off all sharpening in Lightroom as I do my sharpening outside of lightroom.
8. Now check the color temperature and tints of each of the files. Even though the white balance is still set to "As Shot" the color temperatures and tints will be updated for the rest of the files to the color temperature and tint of the highlighted file. This is the bug. The color temperature and tints should not have been updated.

Expected result: The color temperatures and tints should be different for each file
Actual result: The color temperatures and tints are identical for each file

Work around: After applying the presets necessary to all the files with AutoSync still on select white balance as "Auto" and then again select white balance "as Shot". The white balance for each of the files will be updated to the original values as shot.

"It will only do this when I have selected all the photos to be changed by "auto sync""

A workaround while awaiting the fix: Go to Library Grid view (g). Select the desired photos and then apply the preset using the Saved Preset menu in the Quick Develop panel in the right column.

Would love some help, I think I might have made a change to my settings without realizing it. When editing my gallery of images in Lightroom, I first go and edit all my photos in color and crop and add adjustments where needed- once this is done, I do "Command + A" to select all my photos then I click on my black and white preset to change all the photos in my gallery to my perfered black and white settings. This is when the issue happens.... as it changes my photos to black and white, it will also crop some and roate them slightly so they are no longer straight. I am sure this is an easy fix but I am not aware of it. This is not a new preset and is one I have used for years without this issue. Also, I will mention, if I apply the preset to each photo individually, all is fine. It will only do this when I have selected all the photos to be changed by "auto sync"

I am dealing with the exact same Auto Sync issue with LR 10.4. 

Auto Sync on, select a group of images and apply a change (say exposure)... but it also applies every other change made from the selected main photo (like crop and white balance) to all others selected in the group. Very annoying.
