Radial filter changes position when syncing or Copy/Pasting adjustments

[santagasteiz]

I was editing a bunch of images for focus stacking, and when I tried to paste the adjustments from one file to others I've noticed that the final result was not the same. After some digging I realized that Lightroom was changing the shape/position of one of the radial filters I was using for editing, while the others where not affected. Any ideas on why this happened or how can be solved? I post the first edited image, and the one I get after I paste the adjustment.

Thanks in advance

Not sure what's happening, but what I would do is turn on Auto Sync with all the images selected, then fix the one that's not working, then turn Auto Sync off immediately. 

Out of curiousity is there any cropping of images? I assume no, because you'd normally be locked off to focus stack.

It seems that is actually working! Just changed a little bit the affected radial filter in the first image and then, with the autosync on, it applied correctly in the other images.About your question, there was no cropping at all in the images.

Thanks a lot!

LR has long had bugs with copying position-based local adjustments:

Another workaround other than Auto Sync is to use the Copy Settings plugin.
