    I know this is like 6 years late, but I solved a similar issue. It was because I had color calibration hidden as a setting in the colors tab. The preset was applying custom color calibration that I couldn't see when I was trying to reset all the settings manually. In Lightroom CC you can access these settings by clicking on the 3 dots below the history button on the right side of the screen and then clicking 'show color calibration'. Hope this helps.

    Most likely the preset applied something you didn't expect and can’t easily see, and so you didn’t reset that. A graduated filter, for example. Or another camera profile. Or split toning. Did you try pressing the ‘Reset’ button? That should also reset those ‘hidden’ adjustments.

    Thanks for answering

    Im trying to reset everything but its still not the same blue sky as in the original picture. I can't figure out which setting is causing this. The histogram is not the same either

    So what is the original picture exactly? Any chance that you imported the image with ’Embedded & sidecar’ set for the previews? In that case you are looking at camera-generated previews initially. When you apply a preset (and reset it again) you force Lightroom to generate a preview of its own. That will look different.


    So the first picture is the original one. At the second one you see the sky having a different color but all settings are reset.

    The same profile is applied. And I have not imported the image with "Embedded & Sidecar"

    Thanks
