Lightroom will not update local adjustments when a preset with no local adjustments is chosen

John

I guess I should have made my post a little clearer.  I was not talking about an actual preset, I was talking about the Reset(Adobe) function that was available by holding the Shift key down and hitting the RESET button.  In my opinion there seems to be no reasonable reason why this very useful functionality was removed.  

"We had an excellent "Zero Presset" at one time, Reset(Adobe),  and Adobe for no apparent practical reason at all decided to remove this very handy function."

It's still there, in the Classic - General group (which I think is hidden by default).  But it won't reset any Graduated or Radial Filters.

We had an excellent "Zero Presset" at one time, Reset(Adobe),  and Adobe for no apparent practical reason at all decided to remove this very handy function.

I wonder if this is actually a new (undocumented) feature. There have been lots of discussions about the fact that adding a filter via a preset deletes all existing filters, which is normally not what you would want. A 'zero preset' is the exception to that rule.

The Classic - General > Zeroed preset doesn't reset radial or graduated filters either.

Going back into your post and the reeplys, but I have to say

Yep, doing that the hard way.

Or, you could use the Lightroom General preset called Zeroed, will set all sliders to 0, including sharpening, will no, if I remember right, reset the profile.

and, ahh, a link:

being a FujiX shooter, I zero at import, avoiding thee lousy Adobe default sharpening.

ahh, but zeroed might not flush out your adjustment brush(s). I really should answer these at a PC not on by rear end via iPad.

My bad, I assumed it was the brush by looking at the photo, missing the word "radial".

I agree that it's a bug. I suggest you post a bug report in the official Adobe feedback forum, where Adobe wants all bug reports and feature suggestions:

Be sure to include the first ten lines of the menu command Help > System Info.  Provide all the details, rather than linking back to this thread -- experience shows that Adobe developers tend not to follow the links.

You are right, Brush adjustments cannot be saved, but Radial and Gradient filters can be saved, as you can see by the screenshot below. If you look at my example above, you can see that after selecting my "Rawest" preset, the horse still has 2 Radial Filters. Those are not Brushes. That is a bug.

In general, a preset only changes those settings that were stored in the preset. Presets aren't capable of storing adjustments made with the Adjustment Brush, so there's no way for a preset to clear such adjustments from a photo.
