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?

I am not picky, I am offing Tom the advice regarding the total package, before this will be published to the broad community. He has kindly solicited such feedback in his alpha-handover mail.
Because he knows that many of his customers are more artists than tekkies and appreciate a non-confusing method.

Sorry with "same previews" I meant the "embed fast load data" option in DNG settings, which I have ticked. Real previews folder, the ones you pobably dropped, is individual to LR3 and LR4.

You create a folder called scripts in your Lightroom presets folder. (in explorer or finder while LR closed). Copy the downloaded .lua-file into it. Then you start LR4 again and you find an extra menu "scripts" from which you select this one entry.

I only asked: How do you execute the script ?

Look in this thread for a comment to Tom Hogarty and send a comment to him to you'd like to have the script.
He will send you the script and a PDF that explains how to use it.
The script is only a sort of ''alpha'' solution: they will release something definitive soon it seems.

Hello,
I made the following test and I was not able to reproduce the issue (lost cropping etc..)
1-Create a new catalog with LR3
2-Imported some pictures
3-Cropped some of them, rotated other, tone curve changed on one, and converted one to B&W
4-Closed LR3 and opened LR4
5-Told LR4 to convert the LR3 catalog
Result: it is all OK except for the tone curve
6-I executed the script provided
Result: all OK.
Regards,

Did you convert the catalog from LR3, or just imported the existing photos again into a new, empty LR4-calatlog?

I ask because I had no such problems besides the curves discussed here.

Hi Tom,

I also miss other changes on my photo's. Such as converting to black and white, cropping, sharpness and lot more.
