Question

Crop will not Sync unless both options are checked

Just upgraded to LR Classic 12.  When I try to sync the crop across multiple files, it will only sync if both the aspect ratio and alignment check boxes are checked.  If I just have aspect ratio checked it will not sync the crop.  This issue did not exist in LR Classic 11, and I rarely have a need to adjust the alignment, and have never had a need to adjust alignment across multiple images.

 

Running on Win10, V 22H2

    Hmm, I'm not able to reproduce that in my LR 12.0 / Windows 10 or LR 12.0 / Mac OS 12.6. See the attached screen recording of a crop syncing correctly with just Aspect Ratio selected.

     

    If Adobe isn't able to reproduce the problem, then it will get ignored, unfortunately.  So perhaps you can make a full-resolution screen recording of your entire LR window showing the problem, and that might give clues about how to reproduce it reliably.

    Also, as a workaround while waiting for this to get resolved, you could use the Copy/Paste commands of the Any Crop plugin.

    Thanks for the suggestion; however, I'm not a fan of adding in plug-ins just to make a product work as it should.  I'm not the only one having the issue, so hopefully Adobe hears about it and gets it corrected.

    Indeed there seems to be a problem here. There are 2 Sub options under the Crop in the Sync dialbox: Straighten Angle and Aspect Ratio. Neither of these 2 sub options include synchronizing the actual cropping dimensions. It is not possible anymore to just Sync a Crop (dimension) without including BOTH of these sub options, which at some times may not be desired. You can choose either one or both of these 2 Sub options to Synchronize (Aspect or Angle), but you cannot sync a Dimensional Crop without checking the Crop box, and this automatically includes BOTH of its Sub Options. What needs to be fixed here is the option to choose Crop with the Aspect Ratio option alone (which is part of the dimensional Crop properties) but WITHOUT the Angle Straightening option which is a specific modification  - not necessarily wanted throughout the Synchronization process.  Unchecking the Straightening Angle option, Automatically unchecks the Crop option, leaving us with an Aspect Ratio Synchronization alone - No Good.  Needs a Fix!!
