P: Decouple Tint & Temperature Sliders in Auto Sync/Sync/Copy & Paste workflows

Lightroom Classic 12.4 / Camera Raw 15.4

Just imported a dozen Fuji X-T5 raw files. White balance and tint value is slightly different for all of them as they were shot in 'Auto WB' on the camera.

 

Wanted to adjust the tint value on all images but retain their existing WB value.

 

Selected all, made sure Auto Sync was on in Develop mode, and moved the Tint value to 5. 

 

Expected result: all selected images should now have a Tint value of 5, while retaining their original WB value.

 

Actual result: the WB and the Tint value for the main image was applied to all selected images, even though I had not adjusted WB at all.

Did an Undo, went through all images to confirm they all had different WB and tint values. Selected a different image. Did a Select All, Auto Sync on. This time I set the WB value for my main image.

 

Expected result: all selected images should now have the same WB as the main image, but their Tint values should be unchanged.

 

Actual result: again, the adjusted WB and unadjusted Tint values for this image were applied to ALL selected images.

 

Have recreated the issue with every shoot currently waiting to be edited. This is a relatively new issue as I'm used to being able to adjust these values independently of each other across Auto Synced images.

Note:

The team has advised this is currently designed behavior. I've moved this post into the feature requests forum for potential future enhancement. 
Auto Sync/Sync/Copy&Paste currently doesn't support decoupling Temp/Tint sliders.

Open bug to investigate.

Could you create a camera DNG profile creator from Adobe (free) and create a new camera profile where the only change you make is drag the tint to the desired level. https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/digital-negative.html

Thanks for suggesting a possible workaround  but I'm a wedding and event photographer dealing with hundreds and hundreds of images per shoot shot in all kinds of different lighting across the day, and don't have the time or inclination to create extra work for myself like this every time I want to tweak the tint or white balance for a few images in a selection, which I need to do dozens of times per shoot.

 

Would  rather understand if this is happening to anyone else and therefore needs to be fixed by Adobe, or if it's something ive somehow introduced myself or is particular to me somehow.

Yes, I see this too. This is definitely a bug, so I'll move this thread to the Bugs section.
