P: Sync from previous photo crops the image

Hi everyone,

 

I've just noticed odd behaviour after recent LR update on my Win10 64bit - I'm processing photos from 1 photoshoot, using nikon d700 and 50mm lens for all of them.

 

As conditions are the same, my workflow is to apply settings to first photo and then sync across rest of them so if I'm selecting multiple images and then sync settings either from Library or Develop module - that's great, working fine and as expected.

 

However, sometimes I'm doing manual tweaks and then I want to apply those settings to the next photo so what I'm doing is: in Develop mode, go to the next image and hit "Previous" button next to "Reset" - when this is used the image is getting marginally cropped (probably by 1pixel) even when previous image wasn't cropped at all.

 

This change is only marginal but alters the aspect ratio without user's knowledge and only indication is a small crop icon in the filmstrip thumbnail.

 

Thank you
Marcin

See my post above. I cannot tell what is going on in the video. I need step by step instructions.

Hi there, not sure what happened to my post but I did upload a screengrab from the LR: https://youtu.be/a7Lj_JE9lMs

the 0:19-0:29 are syncing without crop checkbox ticked and then next attempt is with the crop ticked.

At the end, there's an untouched pair of photos that shows the issue.

Can somebody write me out a step by step method to reliably reproduce the problem so that I can test it? My first attempt did not reproduce the issue.

Thank you Victoria!  YES.  I tested it both with adjustments including cropping and adjustments without cropping and all the images you are syncing the source to are one or two pixels smaller than the source.  Most people won't notice this but it does change the aspect ratio and it causes programs like Zerene Stacker to choke on it.  And this has just started happening since the latest Lr update.  So it's looking like a bug.  Luckily, it's easy to work around once you know what is going on.  Thanks for your help finding that other new poster.

I am seeing the same thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!   It shouldn't be doing this.  Another unintended consequence is when you take a series of images into a focus stacking program like Zerene Stacker the program will not stack the series because the first image is a different size (just one or two pixels) than the rest of the images in the series.  It looks like a bug to me.

I just cropped one image and synced to a bunch of images and all ended up with same dimensions.  Are you 100% sure Crop is selected in the sync dialog box?
