Feature Request for Lightroom - 'Sync Settings Presets' - so that we can save custom preset combinations of settings to sync instead of just 'select all' and 'select none'.Especially useful when you want to paste certain combinations of settings. For example, paste all settings except for brush, gradient, radial, upright transformations and crop adjustments etc.

Hello Adobe Family 🙂

Can you consider to improve copy / paste / synchronize settings, so user can create customizable presets? I'd like to have an option, and I believe I'm not the only one, to quickly choose preset with memorized checkbox set, instead clicking one by one each time, when i want to select different settings to copy.

Example:
When I want to copy white balance for some pictures, I can use alt+click on checkbox shortcut, so only white balance option is selected, and it's greate option to have, but then if I want to copy half of other settings to different set of pictures, I have to click one by one on each checkbox (to mark or unmark it), so idea is, to use the preset with memorized checkbox set instead of that.

While you're tracking this request, don't forget ACR folks want parity with features like this.  And for us, you won't even need to update the Sync Settings dialog as Earth so rightly requests in LR.<G>

How about also finally updating the Sync window so that most users can make sense of it, instead of having to search for a setting which doesn't align with the tab-names in develop?
Here's a mock-up i made more than a decade ago...

I frequently edit one photo and then use "Sync" from the develop module to apply the develop settings across the series of photos shot in the same conditions. Mostly I only sync the settings that don't depend on the framing of the photo, so no crop, spot, adjustment brushes, or transforms. However, sometime I just want to sync white-balance, or just crop. I have about four commonly used combinations.

I would find it very convenient to have selectable pre-sets on the sync panel. This would also work for the "copy develop settings" operation. This would save having to either "check all" or "check none" and then rebuild my settings.

Thanks
