HELP- lightroom keeps defaulting settings

LONG- but please read.

 

SO, I have been using LR CC for over a month now. I was able to upload my raw files cr2 to be exact, from my Canon T7. I was able to import and develop them with NO issue. NOW, the pasts two days wit the NEW and PREVIOUS version. however, when I go develop and or select a preset or just go to the sliders to adjust my settings, LR is automatcially adding settings oto my images.

 

I talked with an adobe tech for SIX hours yesterday and he didnt know what to do. So i sent him a link to watch a youtube video so i can show him what my issue is, since it was the exact same just worse, as the video i shared. (ILL SHARE THE LINK BELOW)

 

He acutally ended up going through my laptop and trying to do it himself on his side but still couldnt figure it out. so we ended up reinsalling the previous version because this new version doesnt have the option for "develop", then "set default settings". Well that version worked for about one editing session and now its back to doing that same crap. its basically turing my GOOD images GREEN! and i cant reset cause its taking the preset that i do want on there. i have tried to restart it, reset it, everything and its not helping.

 

please help me figure out why the heck my LR CC is editing my pictures. its messing up sessions that people paid me for so it is a huge issue.

 

sorry for all the errors.

The link to your video indicates that the video is unavailable. "IF" you are using Lightroom Classic 9.3, then I suggest you consider watching the following video on how to set your default settings. You worked for me:

Presets can change a photo's profile and White Balance.

The discussions at these links suggest problems with both profile & WB for the Canon T7 (& others).

You may need to update the Presets to eliminate 'Treatment & Profile' and 'WB' from the Presets. To do this- Start with a Reset image, apply a Preset, [R-click] the Preset and [Update Preset to current settings], uncheck the Treatment & WB boxes.

I think I am correct in method! Worth trying anyway! It could be an answer to the problem (until Adobe gets it right)

 

 

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .

Probably LrC v9.3,

 

Oh, and apparently the Adobe Tech needs some training, if the following is the issue, that Tech needs training.

 

The old pre v9.2 Develop Defaults are gone

I have been using LR CC for over a month now

 

 

Problem with that statement is that it refers to dome very old software. Adobe no longer calls Lightroom using the letters CC

 

For on s computer we now have

 

Lightroom (current v3.3)

Lightroom Classic (current v9.3)

no CC

 

So, a request, please check for and post exact program name and version.

 

In Lightroom, click on Help, click on System Info, Note Program name, note version, post thst in a reply.
