Unfortunately the copy/paste etc of Transform Auto. Level, Vertical etc. works the opposite of what it is supposed to do and in one scenario will not show the result till you cursor off and back on the photo.
Original photos
Scenario 1 using Autosync
Select the two photos Turn on AutoSync Do Auto in Transform
You get the following result which is opposite of the documented behavior
Scenario 2 using Copy/Paste or Sync with "Upright Mode" in the Copy/Paste dialog
Select the left photo Do Auto in Transform Select Copy and chose only "Upright Mode" and hit Copy Select the right photo Select Paste
You get the following result which is opposite of the documented behavior
Scenario 3 using Copy/Paste or Sync with "Upright Transformations" in the Copy/Paste dialog
Select the left photo Do Auto in Transform Select Copy and chose only "Upright Transformations" and hit Copy Select the right photo Select Paste
When you first Paste you get the following result which should be the documented behavior
BUT, click the left photo and then the right photo and it changes to the following which is opposite of the documented behavior.
Even though the end result is wrong, the fact you have to click off and then back on the photo to make it work is especially disconcerting to the user.
Thanks for reporting the issue. I was able to reproduce the issue that you have mentioned(in Mac 10.15). However, I could see that the 'Upright mode' issue was present in 9.1(with sync) as well. However, the 'Upright transforms' issue was not seen in 9.2. Is this what you are seeing too? We are investigating the same.
Arjun Here are the two original images. They are just two brick wall photos from the internet that I took into photoshop and rotated and saved and then flipped horizontal and saved.
This is definitely a different problem than the one John posted. In Johns scenario the Copy/Paste resulted in a different adjustment of the house. Here the result of the copy/paste results in the SAME correction in the 3 different scenarios but the results are the opposite what is in the documentation. In addition, in scenarios 3 you have to click off and on the photo to make the result happen.
I too am having this problem. It started a couple months ago.
I shoot multiple images of a room using a sturdy tripod so alignment of the original, un-transformed images is precise (I've been doing this for a over a decade). After correcting perspective in one image - using either auto, guided or vertical - I am unable to consistently sync those corrections to the other images in the series. Sometimes a couple of the images will sync properly, but most of the time the other images do not match the correction done to the original shot.
There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. Sometimes it's a minor variation. Other times it will even crop into some of the images. At times it seems that when I leave an image and return to it, it has changed the correction yet again.
I've noticed that the sync looks good on the thumbnails until I click on them. Then they shift to some random new perspective.
I've tried turning 1:1 previews on and off. Turning the graphics processor on and off. Increased the cache size. Nothing worked.
Note: I used to get this occasionally on vertically oriented images in the past. Now it's on all images.
I just went back to an old folder from a couple years ago and some done in December of last year. When I originally processed those, everything worked fine. However, today they no longer are properly synced.
Updates to Lightroom Classic were released last night that address this issue. Please download the latest update via your Creative Cloud app and install. Please let us know if you continue seeing the issue after updating to 9.2.1. Thank you for your patience!
Maybe you should open a new problem report with a step-by-step recipe. Evidently the symptoms you reported have a different cause then the original post here.
Maybe so. The fixed my scenario 3 so I am still hoping for a fix for 1 and 2. I doesn't affect me much but I know a couple users that have complained about this.
LR should allow the copying/syncing of the end result of a transform from one image to others. Even auto mode rarely produces the desired results when recomputed, and certainly in guided mode a copy should be based on the end result.
Adobe needs to provide choices here to the end user. I still can't, since this feature was introduced, understand how the current behavior has any value to anyone.
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you, but LR does let you choose whether to copy/sync the actual transform (the end result) or have Auto recomputed on each target photo.
To copy/sync the actual transform (the end result), check Upright mode, Upright Transforms, and Transform Adjustments:
Image is not available
To copy/sync Auto and have it recomputed on each target photo, select just Upright Mode:
I just tested Synchronize Settings with 'Vertical' Upright Mode and 'Constrain Crop' checked in the 'Transform' panel and found another issue. With just 'Upright Mode' checked 'Constrain Crop' is not applied. If you also check 'Transform Adjustments' a crop is applied, but it is incorrect. If 'Upright' and 'Crop' are checked the 'Constrain Crop' is properly applied. The 'Constrain Crop' setting when checked affects both Upright and Transform settings so should be synchronized or offered as a check box in the Synchronize Settings 'Transform' list.
Weird behavior with Constrain Crop isn't surprising. Internally, there's a single develop setting CropConstrainToWarp that's bound to two different check boxes in the UI, Crop Tool > Constrain To Image and Transform > Constrain Crop. Checking one of the boxes checks the other one too. I'm guessing the developers assumed that every develop setting is in precisely one category in the Copy/Sync window, which isn't true for CropConstrainToWarp.
What happens if you sync with Upright Mode, Upright Transforms, and Transform Adjustments all checked?
It applies an incorrect Constrain Crop the same as just Upright Mode, Upright Transforms checked. I've updated the screenshot above to include this selection. The only Synchronize Settings that properly applies the Constrain Crop is with 'Upright Mode' and 'Crop' checked.
