Question

P: Sync/copying a Local Adjust/Spot/Crop results in wrong size and position

[See here for a bug recipe for LR 10.2 that occurs with any in-camera rotated raw:

1. Combine a sequence of 5 shots obtaining a DNG HDR with automatic alignment and low movement removal
2. Apply a radial filter to the DNG
3. Synchronize the DNG settings to apply them to the 5 original RAW shots
4. The radial filter on the RAW is of a different size and position than the original DNG from which it was synchronized

To reproduce in LR 10.2:

 

1. Import a portrait raw (a raw that was rotated 90 degrees in-camera).

 

2. Create a virtual copy.

 

3. Edit the virtual copy, and add a narrow oval radial filter in the lower-right corner, tilted 45 degrees to the left.

 

4. Do Sync Settings from the virtual copy to the original, with just radial filters checked.

 

5. Observe that the copied radial filter is the wrong size.

 

I don't observe a problem with an untilted radial, nor with an original that is landscape (not rotated in-camera), nor with gradient filters, spot removals, or adjustment brushes. This screenshot shows a correctly copied gradient filter, spot removal, and adjustment brush, and an incorrectly copied radial filter:

Hi All,

 

I have noticed a bug in the newest version of LR. 

I am editing sequences of very similar images, so I am syncing the settings from one image to multiple other ones.  On landscape oriented photos, this seems to not be an issue, but for portrait oriented photos, there is an issue.

The issue is with the radial filters.  I have two radial filters in a portrait oriented image, which I am copying to other portrait oriented photos.  Both radial filters (as well as all other settings) are copied over as expected/normal.  However, the size of the the one radial filter is changed (it's much rounder than what I have specified) and the second radial filter is exactly the same as in the sample, but it is in a different location.  The settings for the radial fitlers are correct, but the physical placement on the image is wrong.  This is while syncing, but also when I hit 'previous' in the Develop module.

 

When I change the radial filter to match the one on the previous image(s), I always get the cropping logo on the thumbnail too, although the image was not cropped in any way.

 

I'm guessing this should be easy to replicate, please fix this.

In your screenshots, it looks like Spot Removals have the same size and position in in the source and destination photos?

I posted some pictures, but accidentally as a new comment below and not a reply to you. The pixel dimensions of both virtual copy and original were 4000x6000 before I applied the "privacy crop". After that, dimensions were 1781x2672 (showing the bottom right corner of the image, but also another area is affected).

Here are some screenshots - I applied a crop AFTERWARDS to protect her privacy.

What are the pixel dimensions of the original?

What are the pixel dimensions of the virtual copy?

Can you show a screenshot of both.

Thank you for your reply, that is a perfect way to circumvent the bug. However, it is still a bug in the software that should be resolved. 🙂

As I mentioned below, I did NOT crop the image (original and virtual copy have exactly the same crop) AND the crop would be included in the settings since I select "check all" when copying settings.

Thank you for the reply. I have not cropped it, but even if I had - any crop or transformation should be copied with all the settings if I select "check all".

@samc_2311276 Excellent solution, adding it to my tips folder. As to why luisa had this problem, this will happen if the virtual copy was cropped because local adjustments are no longer in the same location. So only global adjustments can be applied.

Another consideration:

Is the Virtual Copy the same size as the original?  Have you cropped it? Transformed it? etc?
