P: Copy/Paste and Sync Features causing photo to haze/gray out after updating LrC

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.

I created a ticket but by mistake I created it in the discussion forum. Since I could not move it to the bugs forum, I created a new one, but was merged with the first one in the discussion forums. How can I move it from there to the bugs forum?

Thank you for the quick reply, how can I share it with Adobe? To which address should I send it?

@Armagonz Please select the photo + VC when they show the issue.

Then Export as Catalog and share/send it with/to Adobe.

 

If your files reveal an issue with how settings are synced then it must be tested internally.

 

If you share it with me first I can give it a look.

Hi @C.Cella 

 

Thank you for all the suggestions with this issue I am having. It is very strange. Let me summarize again so you do not have to read all the previous messages:

 

  • I am editing an photos from a session I took in 2019. I edited the pictures at that time with the the version of Lightroom that was available. A couple of months ago I tried to edit some additional pictures of that session. And I noticed that when I copied the settings from one picture to another the colors would never match.
  • So, I tried creating a new virtual copy of an already edited photo, I reset all the settings of the virtual copy and copied the settings from the edited photo to the new virtual copy. All the settings would copy just fine but the colors would look different. Below are the two pictures:

 

  • As was suggested, I tried comparing the settings of both photos using the bag-o-goodies plug-in, and it reported that the "Camera Profile" was different, but in the Profile both photos report "Adobe Portrait"

 

  • So, I made a final test, in the original Photo, the one with the edits, I went and selected it to use Profile "Adobe Portrait", and now the colors are exactly the same as in the newly created virtual copy. As can be seen in the video below. 

 

So, Lightroom is incorrectly reporting the Camera Profile of the original file, the one I want to extract the edits from. At some point, between 2019 and now, I updated all the pictures to Process Version 6 (Current). I think the upgrade had something to do with this issues with the Camera Profile. Because I am seeing a consistent error with any photos I took before 2020.

 

I hope this extra information helps solve the issue, can you help?

Hi

 

How can I send the file? The same thing is happening to all my files. When I compare them with the suggested plug-in, it tells me that the difference is in the camera profile, but when I look at the images details both appear to have the same profile.
