P: Graduated filter alignment issue

Grad filter loses alignment when dragged across image when using 'hand' icon. The alignment issue appears to increase if the 'hand' icon is grabbed off-center in the image. The alignment error appears to be in a small arc with the centre off the side moving according to where the handle is grabbed. I.e.; if the handle is grabbed in the center(ish) the misalignment is small, increasing as the grabbed position moves towards an edge of the image. The issue is inconsistent but repeatable.

    Correct answer Rikk Flohr_Photography
    The engineering team has let us know that this behavior is expected whenever a there is an interaction between warps (including lens profiles, manual distortion, Horizontal/Vertical sliders in the Transform panel, etc.) and local corrections.  Lightroom will always attempt to make a best fit on those local corrections but cannot make a perfect application on warped images.

    Does it occur on every image in the catalog or just a few?

    Hi Rikk,

    No change after a reset and restart. But expanding on that idea, I just created a new catalog, imported an image and there was no problem with the grad. Does that point to something in the catalog?

    I watched the video and see what you are talking about however I cannot duplicate it on my machine on Mac or Windows. 

    Have you tried a preference reset yet? Sometimes weirdness is fixed that way. 
    Reset Procedure:

    1. Close Lightroom.
    2. Hold down [Alt/Opt]+[Shift] while restarting Lightroom. 
    3. Overwrite the Preferences when prompted by the dialog.
    4. Close Lightroom.
    5. Restart Lightroom.

    Does the behavior continue after resetting the preferences?

    Hi Rikk, 

    I thought the link was in my earlier reply, maybe I messed that up.  Here it is again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9oZMOzjU34

    Harvey,

    I am not understanding the issue from this description.  Any possibility you can post a screen grab or video that illustrates the issue?
