P: (macOS) Lightroom Vignette disappears after opening another photo

Lightroom forgets my vignette settings when I set one, close the photo and open it again. It shows the correct edit for a short time and then sets the vignette back to 0.

 

I'm using version 6.1 from the Mac App Store. The bug is reproducible and happens all the time on all of my photos. It doesn't matter if the photo is currently being synced or not.

Workaround (Admittedly very bad)

1) Apply edits to photo

2) Sync to cloud
3) Open Photos on mobile and apply vignettes
4) Sync to cloud

5) Re-open on Desktop, vignette should persist.

 

Disclaimer - This is far from ideal and is still not really a viable workaround for such an ongoing issue.

Also having the same issue here when using the \ key to toggle my edits. The vignette falls off. Really frustrating as its seemingly at random

Exact same thing here, lastest versions of everything (macOS 13.4.1, Lighroom 6.1 via Creative Cloud). I have to quit LR and restart before reediting the photo on which I have added a vignetting effect.

I have had this issue for months and it is extremely annoying. Perhaps time to consider a move to CaptureOne?

Hi there,

 

I'm running into the same issue as @electerious .

Applying the vignette via preset or manually then toggeling between pictures. Sometimes the vignette stays and sometimes it just resets to 0. Very annoying.

Apple M1 Pro 2021

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 6.4

This is reproducible at our end too. Changing status.

I have had this issue for over 6 months now, and reported it back in December 2022.  I've tried creating a new preset, and various other recommended fixes from this thread and another one, and nothing fixes it.  Every time I toggle between the original and edited photo, the Vignette resets to 0.  It's so frustrating!  I keep thinking that Adobe will fix this and one day it will just stop being a problem when a new update is released, but so far, nothing has changed for me.

I have the same problem. It’s very troublesome, so I hope it will be resolved soon.

Also, do you know which version does not cause this phenomenon?
