All new untouched DNG's marked as "has develop adjustments"

Recenlty I've got a problem - Lightroom starts to think that my photos are modified immediately after import. I thought, I was doing something wrong and made some tests. It turned out, if I have non-default crop settings on my camera (3:2 instead of 4:3) and convert ORF files to DNG, LR changes profile and thinks the files are modified. How I tested it:

1. Make first photo on my Olympus EM1 mark II with crop 3:2, second photo with crop 4:3.

2. Import photos from SD, mode "Copy" (not "Copy as DNG") (photos for test).

3. That's how library looks for now:

This is right - first image have crop information, second one doesn't have it (default crop factor). Both images have profile "Adobe Color":

4. Perform convert to DNG with default settings:

5. Now LR thinks I modified first (in-camera cropped) photo:

And profile of first image is changed to "Adobe Standard" (second is still the same "Adobe Color"):

The same happens when I import photos in mode "Copy as DNG".

What can I do to get rid of this behavior? All of my new photos now look like a modified, I can't find which one I really touched and I don't want to disable in-camera crop. I suppose, the problem has appeared since v7.3, where "new presets" were introduced. At least, date, when hundrends of my new photos start marking as "touched" matches with date, when I installed LR update with that new feature.

Lightroom Classic for MacOS: 7.3.1

Camera Raw: 10.3

    Well then, the original poster somehow took 2 steps from the middle of your's and changed the date/time.  Than again, may be you need to recheck who posted which screenshots.


    There is a bug in Convert Photos To DNG: When it converts a cropped raw, it incorrectly applies the profile Adobe Standard rather than retaining Adobe Color, and that fools LR into thinking the photo has adjustments. I was able to reproduce this simply by cropping a virgin raw before converting it, so this is independent of whether the crop was in-camera.

    Please add details of your issue and your constructive opinion to the bug report I just filed: Lightroom: Convert to DNG applies Adobe Standard rather than Adobe Color if cropped | Photoshop Family Customer Communi… . Be sure to click Me Too in the upper-right. This will make it a little more likely Adobe will prioritize a fix, and you'll be notified when the bug's status changes.

    You can change a batch of photos to all have the profile Adobe Color by using a preset with just Treatment & Profile selected. But I don't think there's any way to force LR to think those photos don't have adjustments.

    Please go to the History panel and look to see if a preset is applied at the time of Import. On my Lightroom Classic CC, it looks like this, the word Lr4Pop are my specific preset applied, you will see a different word there:

    Good catch, John.
