P: (iOS): Upright - Copy, Paste not working properly

I am a real estate photographer and will often shoot 300+ photos a day. When editing I use the "Auto transform" tool under the upright selection in the geometry tab to straighten my photos. Then problem occurs when I copy and paste this setting (under any condition) the actual transforms get copy and pasted, and not the "Auto transform" selection. Its very frustrating when editing 300+ photos because each photo has to be selected, and the geometry section has to be reset and reset to auto in order to work. This was never an issue on Lightroom Classic. Its quite frustrating, since I got myself an iPad Pro to do work on the road, but this has made the program useless for this type of work.

It hasn’t been fixed. I check every update lol it does it on the program for Mac as well. Not on classic though.

Hi Rikk,

Has this issue with the upright been fixed on the mobile app? I also use the app for real estate, and this feature is incredibly essential for my field. Additionally, having the ability batch edit all of them using the feature make my editing process exponentially quicker. 

I have also tried to save the auto-upright

On Lightroom Desktop 3.2

I brought in the first renamed as "Copy From". I brought in the second renamed as "Paste To". 

On Copy From:
  • Go to Geometry and select Auto on the Upright pulldown.
  • Go to [...] and select Choose Edit Settings to copy.
  • Uncheck all.
  • Expand Geometry and check Upright. 

Go to Paste To:
  • Paste Settings.
  • Export Image as Paste to-2
  • Go to [...] and Reset to Original
  • Apply Geometry Auto from the Panel
  • Export Image as Paste to-3

Open Photoshop.
  • Load Paste to-2 an Paste to-3
  • Copy Paste to-2 to a layer above Paste to-3
  • Set Paste to-2 to Blend Mode Difference
  • Screen turns black - images are identical
Appears go be working correctly and as designed.

Photos have synced to Lightroom Mobile iOS.
  • Select Copy From
  • Apply Auto in Upright
  • Copy Settings an uncheck all except Geometry > Upright
  • Swipe to Paste To
  • Paste settings
  • Export as Paste To-4
  • Send to Photoshop with two previous files from above
  • File is different than Paste To-2 and Paste To-3
Summary:

Desktop is working as expected although you said above it wasn't.
iOS is not working as expected.

I will be writing a bug against LrM iOS for this. 

Thanks for the files and the reproducible case.

The issue happens with RAW files as well though. When I was shooting weddings in the summer, I was running into the problem when trying to use a workflow with CC on my iMac.

I start with JPEG. They are compressed because of the 2 GB limit on the upped here.

Are these the originals (JPEGS) or did you start with raw files?
