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?

But why the fill light setting changed? And I dropped all my previews...

I had the same, but I attribute it to LR4 and 3 using the same previews.
So LR3 used the preview distroyed by LR4 previously until it rendered its own one again.

Chris, that's my opinion, too. Sure, Adobe wants to handle piracy and user complains about broken catalogs during Beta, but I think more people would have tested LR4Beta seriously if they had been able to work with a backup of their old catalog.

I don't know what I should think now about LR4.

In this state LR4 seems to have a lot issues. Just look at the others threads especially the performance issues in the user forum.

Someone wrote we gave Adobe a loan. That's pretty much what I think now. Because no one will risk to import his main productive catalog if a software is not ready yet or apply a workaround to thousands of pictures.

And an alpha fix after one week... come on!

Hi Tom,

Can we please have an estimate of delivery for the fix of this issue? I'm really looking forward to upgrading to LR4 but this issue will prevent me from doing so.

Cheers,

yes, the link in the pdf is broken: it need some creative cut and past to create a link from the text "http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18653315/Restore Lightroom 3 Point Tone Curves.lua".

Hmm.. me not being happy about the replacing of the custom tone curve is one thing, but the fix actually changing appearance of the image without a PV change is even more alarming.
