Question

Pastings edits onto other photos makes the photos look completely different from the original edits

Is anyone else having issues with the copy/paste settings? I’ve tried to use Lightroom classic, and the regular light room, and they are both having the same issue. I have a photo that was taken literally 2 seconds apart, same exact lighting and everything, when I copy my settings, which I make sure I copy EVERYTHING, then paste it onto the photo that’s literally almost identical, it turns out look completely different. I know I’m not crazy because I did compare the settings side by side from original photo and second photo, and some of the adjustments didn’t match, and the mask also weren’t the same, so it literally changing up some of the edits by itself. This drives me nutssss, there’s noooo way I can edit each photo one by one… any one have this problem or a solution for this!!?

    Along with images, it would also be good to see screen shots of the settings in the Basic panel.

    Some of the adjustments are adaptive (calculated based on the specific image content), so it’s possible for the same set of adjustments to provide slightly different results given slightly different images. Seeing sample images and settings might help figure out if that has anything to do with what you’re seeing.

    Please provide more information about the edits. Screen shots showing the problem would help.
