P: LR4 doesn't display point curve adjustments made in LR3

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

After updating from LR3, LR4 has reset my tone curves. I use custom tone curves on almost every picture, and all my contrast treatments this way seem to have gone. Initially the previews were still the old ones, so I only noticed after opening several pictures in the develop module, just to see my meticulous tone curve adjustments be removed.

Is anyone else seeing this?

Hi Henrik,

If you already restored your point curves using the script, or by running 4.1 RC1, then 4.1 RC2 won't do anything because your curves have already been restored. The only circumstance under which 4.1 RC2 will find curves to restore is if your upgrade path was:

LR 3 > LR 4.0 > LR 4.1 RC2

There will be nothing for RC2 to repair if your upgrade path was:

LR 3 > LR 4.1 RC2

or:

LR 3 > LR 4.0 > LR 4.1 RC1 > LR 4.1 RC2

Thanks,
Ben

Thanks, Ben, for the clarification. I tried 4.0 > 4.1 RC1 > 4.1 RC2 - didn't expect anything then. Then I tried 3.6 > 4.1 RC2 and was confused. But it works as designed then, I'm happy.
Cheers,
Henrik

Hi Henrik,

3.6 > 4.1 RC1&2 simply does the upgrade correctly in the first place, so no repair is needed. It's only catalogs that were upgraded by 4.0 (which contained a catalog upgrade bug) that need to have the curves restored. The curves are already correct if you upgrade directly from 3.6 > 4.1.

Thanks,
Ben
