P: LR4 doesn't display point curve adjustments made in LR3

After updating from LR3, LR4 has reset my tone curves. I use custom tone curves on almost every picture, and all my contrast treatments this way seem to have gone. Initially the previews were still the old ones, so I only noticed after opening several pictures in the develop module, just to see my meticulous tone curve adjustments be removed.

Is anyone else seeing this?

Hi Henrik,

3.6 > 4.1 RC1&2 simply does the upgrade correctly in the first place, so no repair is needed. It's only catalogs that were upgraded by 4.0 (which contained a catalog upgrade bug) that need to have the curves restored. The curves are already correct if you upgrade directly from 3.6 > 4.1.

Thanks,
Ben

Thanks, Ben, for the clarification. I tried 4.0 > 4.1 RC1 > 4.1 RC2 - didn't expect anything then. Then I tried 3.6 > 4.1 RC2 and was confused. But it works as designed then, I'm happy.
Cheers,
Henrik

Hi Henrik,

If you already restored your point curves using the script, or by running 4.1 RC1, then 4.1 RC2 won't do anything because your curves have already been restored. The only circumstance under which 4.1 RC2 will find curves to restore is if your upgrade path was:

LR 3 > LR 4.0 > LR 4.1 RC2

There will be nothing for RC2 to repair if your upgrade path was:

LR 3 > LR 4.1 RC2

or:

LR 3 > LR 4.0 > LR 4.1 RC1 > LR 4.1 RC2

Thanks,
Ben

I was replying to chrismarquardt - not you. Sorry for the confusion.

Yes, Rikk, I know. But when I converted my catalog in 4.1 RC1, I could see the script working in the background. And a collection was created with images affected. That does not happen in RC2, so I wondered.

Is the script that finds affected images and history states still in in RC2? Nothing happened when I converted my catalog again.

@neoyoli I haven't seen an official LR 4.1 release yet, I believe wie are still on the 4.1 Release Candidate version at this point.

Tom, Jeffrey, would you mind providing us with a status update?
