P: Auto B/W mix keeps getting activated when editing image

[Thomas Babut]

If you change to the Profile Adobe Monochrome, the auto B/W mix is not being activated, which is the expected behaviour. But if you start moving any sliders to edit the image (i.e. Highlights), the auto B/W mix is getting activated automatically and the image changes drastically. Even if you set the colors in the auto B/W mix back to zero it keeps activating the auto setting on and on, which is annoying. There is no option to deactivate this behaviour. 

Thank you very much.

Version: Lightroom for iPad 9.5.1

To work around the current behavior would be to build a preset that zeros the sliders so you can apply it as needed.

I've forwarded your comments to the team to review the current behavior.

Thanks! I've already created such a preset. But after you have applied the preset, the B/W auto mix becomes immediately re-activated as soon as you change anything again. So you constantly have to click on the preset after every adjustment. This happens only with Lightroom for iPad (maybe iOS, too), not so with the desktop variant.

Will this work for you until a fix comes in:

"Workaround would require you set all-but-one of the sliders to 0, and leave the remaining slider at a value of 1 (as close to 0 as you can get without being 0) so that it doesn't trigger the bug in the app."

This workaround works. 🙂
