LR Keeps auto applying a preset when I switch photos in develop

[jeninejessica]

I can't tell what is causing this glitch. 

Using LR Classic, looks like 12.1?  iMac running Ventura. 

My standard process- edit all photos in the gallery. Select all, create virtual copy. Then I sync/paste my B&W edit on to all of these virtual copies. Then I go through and tweak each one. 

LR has on and off started a weird glitch- I edit photo and then press the side arrow on my computer to advance to the next B&W image. It shows B&W in the bar at the bottom, but once it loads, it ADDS one of my presets on top of it, without me clicking anything. I can see in the history the "Create virtual copies", then "Paste Settings", and then "Preset: XXX". .... But I never clicked the preset button. 

Any idea why it's doing this? It doesn't do it on every photo, but probably 75% of the time? And I think only when I arrow button over to the next, not if I select it with my mouse. Something to do with the sync?

Is Auto Sync turned on? 

[jeninejessica]

I had to go back and check (I am very new to using sync) but no I don't believe so. The sync button is greyed out, but also not every image that I had originally synced does this, nor does it actually apply the edits that I do to every photo. 

I created virtual copy and applied a B&W edit to all via sync. It shows correctly in the bottom panel. But then when I arrow over to select the photo, it auto applies one of my color edits. The rest of the photos remain the same. 

I did trouble shoot a bit last night at it does *not* do it when I select a photo, only when I arrow over. AND only when I arrow over quickly- if I pause briefly on the original (non virtual copy) image, then it doesn't apply the colour edit.

If you hover over any preset, it will preview in the main window., but it shouldn't happen while hovering on a thumbnail in the filmstrip. 

Is it possible to see a screen video capture of the issue? Quicktime Player will allow you to do a screen recording. File>New Screen Recording

Ok in this clip, the first change between photos it did it (auto applied All my love), and then the next switch did not do it, and then the third switch between photos it again auto applied. You can see that my mouse didn't move or hover near the presets. I was using the right arrow key to switch to the nezt photo (two over) in the develop strip.

It's still hard to tell what's going on. Removing History only clears the history of settings changes, and doesn't remove a step. You have to click a History step to go back to it. If you have a bunch of images with a preset applied, usually it's because multiple images were selected when a preset was applied in Library's Quick Develop, Auto Sync was on in Develop with many images selected. It may also have been selected as part of import. It's possible that the preview for an applied preset isn't updated immediately and you're seeing it as it updates, but I'm not seeing enough here to have a proper clue. 

[jeninejessica]

Yeah I had to cut the video because of the max upload size. 

I get what you're saying about perhaps the preview just not showing accurately, however it never does this if I simply mouse click on the image. It *only* does it if i use the keyboard arrows to quickly navigate to the new image. 

Every single black and white image was also synced at the same time, so if they were auto syncing, they should ALL be doing it, not just the ones that I click over to quickly, and it should do it when I mouse click on the image as well, you know? 

Now that I know I just need to use the side arrow slower, it's fine. But I still wish I understood WHY it was doing it.

In your video, the "All my love" preset is being selected. How is that happening?

[jeninejessica]

This is what I'm saying. Clearly my mouse isn't moving. It's auto applying it somehow/for some reason. But only under certain conditions. Only on virtual copies. Only if I use the keyboard to navigate, and only if I do so quickly without stopping at the middle image briefly.

I can not duplicate the preset issue but if I use the arrow keys to cursor through the filmstrip quickly some of the photos will have a "White Balance: As Shot" history step applied.  There is another thread I will have to find that has the white balance issue.  

Found it

This sounds like it's either a bug, or a Preferences issue at this stage. I know Bob has posted a link to something that seems similar, but it may be woryh resetting preferences. You should back up preferences first in case it doesn't work, so you can get back to how you like Lightroom more easily.

I have not been able to replicate this with the instructions provided.  @Bob Somrak  I cannot replicate the behavior you are seeing either.
