P: Copy/paste setting bug

I've tried to reproduce using your steps, Jon. I think I tested about a dozen times but couldn't get it to duplicate your results. The second (and third, and fourth) paste are always identical to the first. 

I noticed your profile changed in the second screenshot you sent. Did that change also on your second paste?

Okay, I was able to replicate the issue after re-install. Here's what happened:

1. I imported two *.RAF files.
2. Before making any adjustments, I tried copying settings on one and then pasting them on the other, and nothing happened (as it should).
3. Then I changed the profile on the first photo to Velvia. Then copied the settings from that file to the 2nd file. Now both had Velvia in the settings.
4. Then, I went back to the first photo, copied the settings again, and went to the 2nd and pasted them. At that point a random set of adjustments was pasted onto the 2nd photo. Not quite the same as the one above, but similar:


I then went back and imported two fresh .RAF files. This time I simply copied the settings from the first to the second. Nothing happened. Then I repeated that (without making any adjustments to either image at any point). The second time I copied and pasted, again, a random, but somewhat similar set of adjustments was made:


All 6 images I've run this test on are in the "for AdobeDebug" folder.

I am having the same issue in Lightroom CC for Mac. To get a clean test, I choose two images that I just imported and made only one adjustment to them ahead of time: I set the color profile to Velvia.

Here is the source image info and adjustments that I copied settings from:


And here is the target info and adjustments (after pasting):


I am using Lightroom CC version: 1.5 [ 20180807-1548-54800d7 ] (Aug  8 2018)

I have included both images in the "for AdobeDebug" folder in the root level of my albums. This problem does not appear in Lightroom for Mobile.

I am trying uninstalling and reinstalling now. I will update when I've completed that and tried again.

I wouldn't have expected a simple update to cure the issue. Reinstall is the next step.

As long as you've synced all of your files to the cloud, you should be good. The database lives in the cloud first - your hard drive second. If no syncing is pending and you uninstall, reinstalling and signing in with your Adobe ID should restore your complete catalog - even if the catalog has been removed from the local hard drive. 

Simple update didn't help. As for uninstall (if I do it through Adobe Creative Cloud), will my database be saved after reinstall? Also, when uninstalling should I keep app preferences or no? 

Mikhail,

Lightroom CC 1.5 was released today. I recommend you do an uninstall of your current version. Restart your computer and install the latest update. Let me know if you are still seeing the issue. 

Problem still exists with single photos, I was doing some editing yesterday and it was still like this. Haven't tried group photos yet, but seems like as the app wasn't updated since then, I guess the problem still exists with group settings as well. Found a temporary cure though. If you found, that pasted settings are wrong, you have to go back to that photo you copied it from and then press Auto button in light section to switch it on, and switch off back (the button works laggy though, you have to wait some seconds till the button becomes available). After these steps if you copy settings again, they will past correctly. But this is very annoying in fact. It takes so much time to get the job done now.

Mikhail, are you still having difficulties with the group pasted settings?

No it doesn't happen all the time. I didn't figure out when does it exactly happen, but it looks like this: I adjust first photo, copy its settings to a second one - it's ok, then once again to the next one - whoops, settings are wrong. When I'm trying to work with next photo form the default settings again and copy it to the next one sometimes it copies fine, but sometimes no. I didn't realise why could it happen at all. Maybe some particular setting which I adjust causes it, but for me it just seems random.
For group images same problem exists.

I would agree in your source image that Auto seems to be turned off. I would agree that in your destination image - after edit Auto seems to be turned off.  Does this happen every single time you copy and then paste settings?  Does it happen for a Paste to 1 image vs a Paste to a group of images?
