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

weird about the cropping.  I'll test that and see if it happens to me

Good idea.  Just checked that.  If I export the images without cropping all is fine.  If I crop the first one in the series then sync settings (incl crop) for the rest, the first image is different from all the others.  I thought syncing was supposed to make them all the same!  So the problem is not with export, it's with cropping and then syncing all the files in the series in the hope of making them all the same.  Hummmmmm.  Still odd.  Why is it doing that.  Seems to be a new thing for me.  I never had that problem before.  Just started about a week ago (just after I updated Lr to the newest version - I don't know if that has anything to do with it).

seems that way.  You can check the image dimensions in the metadata panel and see if they all start the same

Wow.  So why is my Lr exporting on larger image and the rest the same size.  Frustrating!  So mine is exporting the first image the correct size and all the others 2 pixels shorter on the long side.

Bruce I just tried it with my images from a Nikon D850 and all 17 were 8256 x 5504 and Zerene Stacker had no problems  LR 10.2 Mac OS X 10.14.6

Sorry.  Typo.  The first image exported is always 2 pixels larger.  So for my D850 the first image exported from Lr is 8256x5504. All other files in the same export operation are 8254x5504 pixels.

I know this because I'll export about 20-30 files to Zerene Stacker and it won't stack them because the first file (every time I export a series of files for a focus stack) is always 2 pixels larger and I get an error message that says the image file is a different size.  Looks like a NEW bug in Lr.  This has never happened to me before.  I'm using the most current version of Lr Classic.
