P: Transform doesn't copy/sync correctly

I only tested 9.2 and saw issues with both Upright Mode and Upright Transforms.

This is definitely a different problem than the one John posted.  In Johns scenario the Copy/Paste resulted in a different adjustment of the house.  Here the result of the copy/paste results in the SAME correction in the 3 different scenarios but the results are the opposite what is in the documentation.  In addition, in scenarios 3 you have to click off and on the photo to make the result happen.

Here are the two original images.   They are just two brick wall photos from the internet that I took into photoshop and rotated and saved and then flipped horizontal and saved.   

Hi Robert,

Is this issue similar to what John has posted?
If it is different, could you please provide sample images for us to investigate the same?

Thanks,
Arjun

Hi John,

Thanks for reporting the issue.
I was able to reproduce the issue that you have mentioned(in Mac 10.15). However, I could see that the 'Upright mode' issue was present in 9.1(with sync) as well.
However, the 'Upright transforms' issue was not seen in 9.2.
Is this what you are seeing too?
We are investigating the same. 

Thanks,
Arjun

I can replicate the scenario you outline in your post.  

John,

There is more issues with transform than what you have listed.

According to Adobes woefully outdated helps files the copy/paste, sync and AutoSync is supposed to work as documented here.


This is also documented in an always excellent blog by Julianne Kost in the following link
https://blogs.adobe.com/jkost/2013/04/lightroom-5-beta-upright-sync-behavior.html

Unfortunately the copy/paste etc of Transform Auto. Level, Vertical etc. works the opposite of what it is supposed to do and in one scenario will not show the result till you cursor off and back on the photo.  

Original photos



Scenario 1 using Autosync

Select the two photos
Turn on AutoSync
Do Auto in Transform

You get the following result which is opposite of the documented behavior




Scenario 2 using Copy/Paste or Sync with "Upright Mode" in the Copy/Paste dialog

Select the left photo
Do Auto in Transform
Select Copy and chose only "Upright Mode" and hit Copy
Select the right photo
Select Paste

You get the following result which is opposite of the documented behavior




Scenario 3 using Copy/Paste or Sync with "Upright Transformations" in the Copy/Paste dialog

Select the left photo
Do Auto in Transform
Select Copy and chose only "Upright Transformations" and hit Copy
Select the right photo
Select Paste

When you first Paste you get the following result which should be the documented behavior


BUT, click the left photo and then the right photo and it changes to the following which is opposite of the documented behavior.


  Even though the end result is wrong, the fact you have to click off and then back on the photo to make it work is especially disconcerting to the user.

I noticed this too!  This feature is critical to my photography business and workflow.  I reverted back to 9.1 until this is resolved.
