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

I understand, but I fear the process might be so different that the only thing that can be done is create a curve that looks very similar with the help of more points? Can't answer that question, but that is what I suspect. As long as you are happy with your old pv versions, no need to touch them, is there? And if you really need to redo a few and end with much better results, worth the work, ain't it? You see, I am not sure yet what to think of it. Sometimes one has to make cuts to improve.

I don't necessarily disagree with leaving old pictures on the old process. I guess the reason I'm so taken aback is that I had a different expectation, especially when it comes to tone curves. I'm not sure what percentage of users make use of custom tone curves (you'll see them when you click the button at the right bottom of the tone curves panel), but for many of my pictures this is pretty much the only contrast adjustment they'll ever see. I wouldn't be so upset if only a hand full of my pictures used that feature.

We're testing a solution that will correct the issue for those that have already upgraded to Lightroom 4 so that there is no reason to wait or hold off on upgrading. (Specific to the point tone curve issue)

Neither can I. The questionv rather was: why was this photo affected at all? But nothing to worry about 🙂 I don't have to switch to PV2012.

I still do not understand why some of my old photos that never had individual point-curve adjustments got picked up by the script, but else the script seems to do what it is supposed to. The curves are back. I deliberately changed a few in LR3, converted again and was happy with the script's results.
I am not sure yet I am happy with the process version upgrade "feature". But then, I do not have to do that, do I? So up to me, if I think the image might look better using the 2012 process, I'll just have to start from scratch. This has nothing to do with the bug the script is trying to fix.
Conclusion: script works, problem dealt with.
Thanks

Henrik, I can't see a difference between strong contrast LR3 and LR4. So far it seems ok.

The switch to PV2012 is just like the switch to PV2010 when LR3 came out. The best thing is to start from scratch.

Okay. Confusing at least, but I am willing to accept it as a feature.

It is supposed to be like this. Was discussed as "Bug or Feature?" during beta.
It is unavoidable due to the different algorithms applied in PV10 vs. PV12.

So love it or leave it.
If reprocessing an image in PV12 it seems best to start afresh if you want to further tweak it.

I have quite some photos that never made it to the 2010 process. They apparently are treated differently again. Must do more tests to verify that.

That's exactly what I see. More points then there were before. Also custom curvers for images that didn't even have any before.

Two issues if you ask me: one during catalog conversion, one during process upgrade.
