Export dialog error after LR 9.2 install

[Mike851]

Since installing the newest version of Lightroom Classic(9.2?) I have been having MAJOR issues with the export function when selected under the FILE menu. My workflow is that I do some edits in LR, then right click in the image to export to Photomatix Pro for some HDR treatment; then re-import to LR to finish up and then export to my hard drive. Since the update, I have to reset nearly all of the parameters in the export dialog. Location, watermark, size, pixel density, etc are all changed from what I normally use. Since LR is exporting the file as a JPEG, why does this always change? Also, if I export a photo, then do another in the same session, I have to re-enter all the export characteristcs again. Is this going to be fixed? It is extremely annoying, and slows things down a lot.

Hi! Instead of having to reenter everything into the LR Classic export window... could you just create a Preset that you then select each time you export?

[Mike851]

Maybe. Never thought of that because this has worked with no problem until now. It should be fixed rather than have to try and reinvent the wheel in a preset that emulates a menu function. Can a preset even be created to do an export with specific parameters?

Bring up the export panel, select your settings, click on Done. No need to actually export. Exit the export dialog, Reenter the Export dialog, see if it stuck.

That seems to work.  I think it's sad that something like this isn't noted anywhere in the new release.  I've been using Photomatix for almost a year, and never before had the problem of changed export parameters.  Thanks for your help.

I take it back.  I restarted LR from scratch, did my workflow with Photomatix, and when I started the export dialog from the FILE menu, everything was reset to the original (incorrect) values.

Export to reset back to Photomatix from "hard drive"
Export Location reset to "desktop" from Specific Folder"
Subfolder option checked (was unchecked)
Image format reset to TIFF from JPEG
Color Space reset to Adobe from ProPhoto
Image sizing values reset
Watermark reset to the basic one, but unchecked

So the change you suggested worked until I restarted LR.
