It has some terrible bugs in it. When changing presets the profile resets back to Adobe standard, even if profile isn't checked within that preset. It is making editing a real pain.
LR is also crashing. Please fix these bugs quick as I have tons of work to get done!
Is it possible to roll back a version? 7.3 can't be used in this state.

Yes. I did install and the core bugs seems to be fixed.

  • Preset sorting seems to be corrected.
  • The bug that was resetting presets from BW seems to be fixed.
  • No ability has been added remove the rest of the built-in presets
  • An option to disable the full image preview when you mouse over a preset has still not been added. This seems to make things run very slow.

Looks like it should be fixed now: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/help/whats-new.html Can anyone confirm that? Thanks.

The 7.3.1 update released earlier today should address this. Can you install it and let us know if it cures the issue?

So I think this is related, but posting to confirm: If I assign a profile during import images, and if the profile I assigned is "missing" (i.e. Sony a9 profile while importing Canon images) then attempts to paste the correct profile using "Treatment & Profile" fails. The only solution is to manually correct the profile on every image.

This glitch is affecting my ability to use presets to modify black and white images created from black and white presets. If, after applying the black and white preset, I want to use another preset to change the tone curve or white balance or clarity, or whatever, I get a color image every time.  I have bunches of black and white presets and bunches of other presets I've created to change 1 or 2 specific adjustments at a time, and none of them are supposed to affect the color/profile of the selected image.  Previewing the presets also doesn't work correctly (which makes sense) but it is super annoying to have to guess what each preset would look like if it were actually in b&w, or resort to not using presets after I use a black and white preset...  There's talk of this specific problem being fixed, but it's been 2 weeks, and I'm not seeing any more news.  I need a date this will be fixed.  Am I forced to re-save all of my b&w presets in order to get the functionality I pay for back?

I have an on-going list of workarounds that have been recommended by Adobe experts to do in order to hopefully get some of the expected functionality back on everything that's not working. Here's some of the "expert" advice: If you want your videos to play (hopefully with sound and hopefully that sound doesn't blow your eardrums out) you just need to uninstall Lightroom, reinstall an old version, update twice more, then re-import all of your videos (for the last 10+ years). I'll get right on that. And now I'm supposed to just remake all of my B&W presets that have attached a profile that didn't exist before (Used to just be color or black and white)?  Not to mention that when you update your presets, it doesn't tell you which settings were set before.  I'd have to zero everything out before applying each preset, make a note of the settings that changed, switch the b&w profile to a non-legacy profile, then move the slider to 0%, then update the preset using my notes to make sure I select the correct settings.  I'm tired after just typing that.  And there's tons of other things broken and impossible workarounds to "fix" them.

Are we really still being charged for this?  The sad thing is that I can't live without it.  I've invested too much time making presets and profiles and tone curves and making my catalog and collections what I want them to be...  And I can't switch versions because I love the profiles I created from the new Adobe Color profile  and switching versions would mean going back to adobe standard and all the other awful profiles for my 5d Mark iv. That would be worse than this...Unless the new profiles work with the older LR Classic CC versions????

Somebody make Lightroom work like it should, please, please, please?  Because I need to work.

Yes, 7.2 ignores the ~ so they're identical to the way they were before upgrading.

I downgraded to 7.2 (Classic LR version on win7). There come ́s no information from Adobe about, when they think to repair the BUUUUUGS of LR Classic 7.3! I am wondering, that the presets after downgrading have full function. They are not renamed after downgrading. (~ exist in the front of the name from the preset-file)?
