Question

Unexpected behavior with AutoSync

Just when things couldn't get more unsuable for professional photographers. The 2-year Auto sync bug is back!

I posted about this bug for over 2-years before it was "addressed" in a recent update (13). I had spotted it happening a couple of times after said update but was unable to replicate whilst screen recording, until now....

Same as before, when auto sync is selected and multiple images are selected for syncing, adjustments to entirely unrelated aspects of the develop module will elicit adjustments to elements of an image like filters (in the case of the screen recording, a graduated filter) across all images.

A "collection ruining" bug if you're not well versed with the plague-like bugs of Adobe Lightroom Classic.

In the case of the screen recording, with auto sync selected, I made an adjustment to the Orange Hue of an image intented to be synced across the entire collection, when in fact the graduated filter of that image was then synced across all images. As you can see in the history, the last few adjustments were to Orange Hue, Temp, Tint and a radial filter. Nothing to do with a graduated filter.

    Are you sure the adjustments to the filter are actually synced to the other images and it is not just an artefact in the small previews? I am asking because I can't get anything like this to happen. This would be a pretty serious bug indeed.

    100% affects all images. This is a serious bug that I have been documenting for over 2-years. I can replicate is everytime with certain adjustments in a certain order but it also happens randomly. Rikk Flohr and his team know all about it but they simply avoid dealing with it by doing things like changing post titles to be irrelevant so that other users are unable to relate it to issues they are having with autosync.

    The issue was apprently resolved in version 13 but it clearly isn't.

    Sorry that you have to explain this all over as it sounds like you've pointed this out for a long time and you must be frustrated. Adobe is not always responsive with bug reports in my experience. I don't really know what we are supposed to see in the video. Are you referring to the undo and redo at the end of the video affecting all images instead of just the image that you did the change of the dehaze amount on? In the other parts of the video I didn't see anything what I would think is unexpected but I also don't know what I am looking for.

      Because,  Johan W. Elzenga. The uploader for attaching media to posts simply does not work. The only option is to put an external link for media which is less than ideal as it means that creators have to have public videos of Adobe's abject uselessness for all to see on their (in my case) otherwise unused channels.

      I think you can attatch a zipped video, but indeed using a link to YouTube (or something like Dropbox) is easier.

      Do you mean a "reply"to you or my own post?

        You can add an answer and add media to your answer...

          Unfortunately Adobe uses Khoros which is as bad as their software. Trying to upload media as part of posts is a 50/50 gamble. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

          Unfortuantely you also can't edit psots to add them media fterwards......

            "Unfortunately you also can't edit posts"

             

            Sure you can:

             

             

            "Just when things couldn't get more unsuable for professional photographers"

             

            Just to be clear, you're a "professional" photographer - you're not speaking for all pros, hundreds of thousands of whom use "unusable" Lr happily every day.

            No such option. You must be an adobe spinning propellar hat minion.

            Using LR 12? Editing 20-30 photos a day? Goo on you.

            You refer to a screen recording, but nothing was attached.
