Auto Upright changed algorithm recently?

Not sure whether it is just me. I use auto upright on 95% of my images and it saves me a lot of time. It used since the day it was introduced and is used to do a good job, and rarely needed further corrections. I'd say good results on 7 or 8 out of 10.

Now it seems I rarely get a good result when I click auto upright and just on today's jobs so far, it only got right 8 out of 65 images.

Has the algortihm changed recently? Just re-set my prefs, so it's not that.

I'm noticing the same. Not sure when it started to happen, but not very long ago, some months maybe. It is not working properly for no apparent reason.

We used to use this daily and pretty much stopped using auto upright and just use the guides, which is slower and a pain in the a.

And as usual, no help or guidance from Adobe.

These are a couple of images from my first shoot today. I have plenty more but these are just random two.

As I said, I've been using this feature since it was first introduced and know it's limitations and quirks. Auto align should work fine on these, but it actually makes them worse than originally shot.

There are not many horizontal lines in these images, and the lines that are more or less horizontal are shot under a slight angle, so they should not be horizontal. I can't predict what an older version of Lightroom would have done, but it does not really surprise me that 'Auto' does not work perfectly on such images. Have you tried 'Vertical'?

Hmmm... Lightroom has been working great on thousands of images like this I shot over the years, and clicking "auto" was correcting verticals (and horizontals) nicely.

The "Auto" upright feature is meant to: "Corrects both vertical and horizontal distortions while balancing the overall image, and preserving as much of the original image as possible."

Are you familiar with this feature at all Johan?

Please post your System Information as Lightroom Classic (LrC) reports it. In LrC click on Help, then System Info, then Copy. Paste that information into a reply. Please present all information from first line down to and including Plug-in Info. Info after Plug-in info can be cut as that is just so much dead space to us non-Techs.

And what would be the purpose of doing that if (as far as we know) the routines did not change anyway? Is there anything you know that we don't know?

Works as usual on my end.

Can you explain in more details or share samples?

It's usually basic interior rooms, with typical verticals, and when I hit the auto upright, it does sort of tries to correct it, but most of the time I'm finding it is just short of properly corrected, and I need to go with the guides to make it right.

In the past this was a rare occourance, now way too frequent.

AFAIK, nothing changed. Unless Adobe changed it in silence.
