Hey guys, maybe you will be able to answer my question. let me explain my situation:
I created a preset in lightroom, while saving it I disabled adjuting my exposure and while balance when applying it on image. it works well with 99% of my images but I came across one image and when I apply the preset to it it becomes totally underexposed and I have to crank up the exposure quite a bit to get it back to normal. The photo was shot on iphone 14 pro, in Raw format. When I apply it to a similar photo taken like 5 mins after it doesnt underexpose it. does anyone know why does this happen to me? thank you all:)

Hey @Mari�nZZZacik 

Is this issue only happening with a single picture? How did both of the sample photos you shared look before applying the preset?

Thanks!

Alek

This is a problem in Lightroom (cloud version).

Moved to the appropriate Lightroom ecosystem forum.

@Mari�nZZZacik this is the Photoshop forum, try the Lightroom Classic forum instead
