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

Hi Dorin,

Unfortunately, I can't verify this one way or another without the photo itself. With no photo file, the curve won't show, and dropping in a dummy does not suffice (Lightroom refuses to be fooled that my random nef is actually the missing file). If you could provide the photo file via yousendit as well, that would be great.

Also, some additional information would be helpful. What operating system are you on? And in this photo's history, I don't see any point curve adjustments, or develop adjustments of any kind that were performed in Lightroom. There are only two "from metadata" steps. Is this a photo that was originally adjusted in ACR, and then imported into Lightroom? Or is something else going on here? I think I need more context.

Thanks,
Ben

Yes it converted OK.
And indeed the script did not recover.
But that's no fun if I can't see what it had to recover .

There's no image file, but there's no need. You can open and convert the catalog just fine.

Or, you can put any dummy nef file there. The filename is DN_070211_010144_3231.NEF.

There's no picture in your catalog.

I have a sample catalog with one image with a Custom curve that the recovery script does NOT recover.

The other point to the fix that I failed to mention, is the initial catalog conversion is fixed to avoid this problem in the first place. So it's a two part fix:

1) Prevent this issue from happening in the first place.
2) Auto-magically fix catalogs that have been affected.

Yup. If you've been using a LR3 catalog, update that.

Thanks, Jeffrey, that's good to know. I stopped using LR4 though after the problems were noticed and went back to LR3. So my catalog in LR3 is more recent than the one that was originally converted to LR4. What would be the correct way to start over with a fresh LR3->LR4 conversion?

When you launch LR 4.x (whatever version the new build is) it should auto-correct an library that has already been converted. It creates a report/collection of the files where the curve was recovered. One of the LR engineers can give more specifics, but that's the short answer. I'm sure the release notes will cover this in more detail once it's released.
