P: Lightroom Classic: synched brush not at the same place on a cropped copy ??

Hello,

 

I just found an issue on the latest LR version:

if you select all parameters except the reframing when synching parameters to a virtual copy which is differently reframed, the brush is not copying to the right place 🙂

Okay everybody has lost common sense, I can't believe this .

Anyway I'm sure it will be fixed in a future version...

The team has confirmed this is as-designed behavior. Feel free to submit a feature request or change this post to an Idea if you want the behavior changed. 

Edit 7/22:  Revising this: This is as-designed behavior for copy/paste in a non-virtual copy context. WRT Virtual copies we are looking at restoring previous behavior.

uh ... you have to have some common sense: i magine that you are working on a photo that you have already declined in other crops. You add a brush on the original photo you edit, it makes sense to copy this modification on the crops also.

This kind of response is starting to tire me, it's obvious that it's a bug.
The syncronization of a local adjustment (brush, graduated, radial filter) to a cropped virtual copy has always worked correctly since the first version of LR !
With the sampling area of the spot removal tool that moves sometimes for whatever reason during  synchronization it is really painfull to work with LR.

I am going to check with the team but this sounds as if it might be as-designed given the order of your steps.  Stand by.

1. Editing an image

2. Create a virtual copy

3. Crop the copy

4. Adding a brush stroke to the original

5. Synching all except crop from original to copy

6. Interrogate brush stroke

Expected - brush stroke over the same part of the image, the eyes for instance.

Actual - brush stroke has moved to a different area, relatively to the crop, if brush was in the middle of the original, it will stay in the middle of the copy, thus not on the eyes anymore.

The same for the graduated filter, etc...

There are also issues with the spot removal tool when synching on a copy, the sampling area sometimes change !

So If I have the steps correct:

  1. Edit image including brush stroke
  2. Create Virtual Copy
  3. Crop Copy
  4. Interrogate brush stroke 

Expected -  brush stroke is over the correct place

Actual - brush stroke has moved to a different area of the image

Is this correct?

Correct: upper-right of the first post.

A bug report here will get marked Acknowledged (in the upper-right of the first post) when a product developer / tester has reproduced the problem and entered it into their internal tracking system. Often (but not always), the developer / tester will comment in the bug report at the same time.

When they start working on the bug, it will get marked In Progress (though often they don't mark bugs In Progress).  

When a bug fix is released, it gets marked as Solved.

ok thank you !

But how do we know if the bug we are reporting has been taken into account. Frankly I would correct this kind of bug as soon as possible and would apologize to the community as it is such a nuisance....

"Where is the best place to report bugs, here or on

https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom/bd-p/lightroom?page=1&sort=latest_replies&filter=all

What is the difference?"

This forum is where Adobe wants all product feedback (bug reports, feature requests, criticism, praise).  Adobe product developers often (but not always) engage here.

The community forum is primarily a user-to-user forum where users can get help, discuss techniques, and figure out if they're facing a bug or a misunderstanding of the app.  Adobe product developers rarely participate in that forum, though sometimes Adobe's contract customer support does (often not very effectively).
