P: Issues when applying presets with custom curves 13.3

I've posted this as a comment in another bug, but thought it would be best, to open a seperate issue.

My Problem is the Following:

Since the Update to 13.3, applying presets to an unedited picture in the develop tab randomly does not affect the custom curve saved within that preset. Also the preset is not shown as applied, so I can't change the intensity of the preset. When I change to another picture and then back to the one I applied the preset to, the correct curve is shown, but has no effect on the image. I need to manually change the curve a little bit, and wooosh it's applied. Another option is to apply a different preset and then switch back to the one, I wanted to apply in the first place. I have had performance issues (RAM leaking, slow downs etc) for years and it's annoying, but at least I can get rid of those by restarting every 30 or so minutes. But this just slows me down so much it's painfull.

For reference, I've attached 2 Screenshots. This right here is how the picture and the UI looks after applying a preset:

As you can see, color changes ETC are applied, but the Curves are not affected and the "Amoiunt" Slider is grayed out, even thou the preset was applied.

Next I applied another preset and then this preset again. This is how it looks:

As you can see, now the Curves where applied correctly and the amount slider is back. This is how it always was and how it's supposed to be. It doesn't always happen, but it does happen in like 70-80% of cases right now, so not something I can just ignore. Not sure if this is something, that other people are experiencing, but I hope, somebody has an idea how to fix it. Until then, I'll roll back to 13.2 .

 

What I've tried so far and did not work:

  • Reinstall
  • Optimize cataloge
  • Export Presets, delete them in lightroom and re-import them
  • Create a new cataloge
  • Cleanse the Cache

@arjunhaarithI looks like it's fixed, I've bulk edited about 50 fotos or so , that I've had in the catalog since march and had no issuers with the presets - thanks for looking at the issue and fixing it so quickly, I know that a fix within just a month is not a given at all 🙂

Hi @felixb62617238 ,

We have attempted a fix for this issue in the latest 13.4 release. Can you please try the same and let us know?

Thanks,

Arjun

@arjunhaarithI also got one more Update: This issues also affects pictures to which I apply the preset in the Library tab through the quick develop option or using the sync feature. Both also don't correctly apply the curves to pictures imported before Updating to 13.3.

@arjunhaarithwhere you able to reproduce the issues at your end?

Just here to say I'm also having this issue and it has rendered Lightroom basically unusable. Please fix it soon.

 

FWIW I'm on a Mac, working on files from Nikon and Fujifilm cameras. Same problem across the board.

I'm also still having issues with this. I thought we got it fixed last night when I was in touch with an agent who accessed my screen remotely. They said there was something wrong with my catalogue from the update and we created a new catalogue. I continued editing today and saw that the tone curve would not apply on some images unless either "reseting" the image or "undoing" the preset and reapplying the preset.

@felixb62617238 I am not able to reproduce the issue at my end. Do you mind sharing one of the presets with which the issue is happening?

@Chinoy Gupta  thanks for the reply - sure, I've attached a couple of my presets for reference. But it's not limited to any one preset, or only my own presets for that matter, but happens with all of them. And it usually happens in like 90% of all cases, even with standard presets in lightroom. I've just tried "Seasons: Spring/SP02" and low and behold: same issue:

After applying the preset, the curves are not affected.

Applying a different preset and then re-applying the SP02 one, now the curves are correctly applied and the picture gets that pink hue.

Okay Update: I think i identified the issue. I believe it has to do with pictures IMPORTED to Lightroom before 13.3. All my pictures where imported shortly before the update and I've got issues with all of them. I've now created a new catalog and imported the exact same pictures (Same drive location, same eveything) again and they all seem to work. I've clicked through like 20-30 and where able to apply presets to all of them without anny issues.

That would explain, why it's difficult the reproduce the issue with pictures I've provided and also why the issue doesn't show up for everybody, since a lot of people probably will update lightroom after having already edited their existing photos.

It's still a really annyoing bug, because you either loose all your edits due to having to reimport all your photos, or you can't go back and apply presets to already imported photos. So a fix would be really appreciated...

At this point, this might also just be a coincidence, maybe somebody else can confirm this behaviour.


Thanks a lot for sharing these details. It is helpful in reproducing and investigating the issue.

 

Thanks,
