P: breaks Red Eye Darken corrections

[johnrellis]

LR 5.2 breaks Red Eye corrections that were applied in LR 4 in Process Version 2012. In LR 4, a Darken value of +100 darkens the adjustment, but in LR 5.2, it lightens it. As a result, photos with red-eye applied in LR 4 can look significantly different in LR 5.2.

This bug was corrected in ACR 8.1, but the fix did not get into LR 5.2?

It would be great if the LR team could quickly acknowledge that this is a bug that will be fixed in the future, so we can plan temporary workarounds accordingly.

The image below shows how LR 4 interprets Darken = -100 (left eye) and +100 (right eye):



And this one shows how LR 5 interprets the same values:

I'll find out from the team. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks. The team can repro and are looking into a fix.

Thanks for the update.

This doesn't appear to be fixed in 5.3. The release notes say:

"On certain images, red eye removal behaved incorrectly"

But here's what a sample image looks like in 4.4:



And here's what that image looks like when imported into 5.3:

This bug seems to be in Lightroom 6 too
