I just updated my LrC to v 12.4 this morning and now when I try to copy/paste settings in the develop tab to a new photo, the new photo is hazed out and flat looking. If I reset the settings and put them in manually, it looks correct, so it has to be an issue with the copy/paste. Please help this is slowing down my work flow tremendously.

Have you been using Masking in at least one image in the ones you want to sync? This can cause the symptoms you mentioned. When syncing it is best to uncheck masking.

For those who are seeing this issue, I am trying to collect a little information.

There were changes made in 12.4 to separate the Point Curve and the Parametric Curve in the Copy/Paste dialog and the Preset Creation dialogs. Additionally, there was a Refine Saturation slider added to the Tone Curve as well. This is a good place to start triage.

For the Presets you are applying or the Copy/Paste &/or Sync settings you are applying is there a Tone Curve component? If yes, then we've probably isolated the cause of the issue and file a bug report. If not, then we will need to get some sample edits that show the issue.

Thanks for your help.

To simply and efficiently compare two photos you could use "Compare Photo Edits" command of this plug-in: http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/bag-o-goodies#compare-photo-edits

When I try to sync my photos, the first photo looks fine and has it edited exactly how I want it to be, but the rest of the photos have a weird fog/haze over them and looks nothing like how I originally edited the first photo. I've tried resetting my preferences, reuploading the photos, resetting my laptop, but nothing has worked. Help!

Your screenshots show a setting of -100 for whites and +100 for blacks. Did you apply those settings manually?
Maybe the images are extremely over exposed and you are attempting to recover blown highlights?

That's what my presets are, and it looks fine on the first image, but weird on all the other images. I think it might be the new update 😕😕

Make sure when you copy your settings from an edited photo, that you are selecting the "curve" option too. It's really simple, actually. The new update changed your prior copy settings, it did this to EVERYONE lol.

Laymans terms: when you go to copy an edited photo, a screen comes up with all copying options... some of which are titled "basic, HSL/color, color grading, details, lens corrections" ETC... make sure you are selecting the "curve" option too. If not selected, it is going to throw off your tone/point curve. It's the third option down to copy!

After updating to v12, when I attempt to apply my batch edit, the batched photos look hazy and washed out. Is this a bug or some sort of LR setting applied that I need to uncheck? Thank you!

I have made some presets for my photography and used them for a long time. I then sync the preset image to the original photos in my gallery and can choose which ones to keep. (They all look uniform with the same color settings.) For some reason, now when I use a preset on an image and go to sync the gallery, the synced images have a weird "fog" or filtered look over them and it doesn't match the preset image. The lighting on the images doesn't vary. Any ideas to help? I have updated the app, reimported the photos, etc. Help!

Here are screenshots of the issue. The first one is the preset image. The other is the synced photo where you see a "screen" over the image.

@TorreydPhotography, please do the LR menu command Help > System Info and copy/paste the entire contents here so we can see exactly which versions of hardware and software LR thinks you're running.

This is happening to me also! Have you found a resolution as yet?

Have you tried resetting the LrC preference file as I suggested above?

If resetting preferences doesn't help, then please provide a copy of your 'System Info'. This can be obtained from the LrC Help > System Info menu item as shown in attached screenshot.

I did Ian, hasn't changed it though. I reset preferences and rebooted the PC.

Just upgraded to LRC v12.4 on my Mac and am frustrated by the new version bug.

1) Apply a Preset to the 1st photo

2) Do some color adjustments (exposure, contrast etc.)

3) Copy Settings and tick "Check All"

4) Paste Settings to the 2nd photo, but only the color adjustments (exposure, contrast etc.) were pasted. The preset is not applied to the 2nd photo.

So I have to click the preset one by one to every photo before pasting the settings, which is so troublesome and unnecessary. Before when I was using older version LRC, I can easily copy and paste settings (with preset applied together).

Is this a new version bug? Please help!!
I've tried to Reset Preferences couple times but it doens't work..

I have the same issue on my Windows Computer.
So this seems to be a bug which is very annoying when i have to develop a lot of pictures and i am not possible to copy the settings to another picture!

A good place to start when LrC behaviour changes after an update is to reset the preference file. You can use Method 1 in below linked Adobe Help document.
