John, There is more issues with transform than what you have listed. According to Adobes woefully outdated helps files the copy/paste, sync and AutoSync is supposed to work as documented here. This is also documented in an always excellent blog by Julianne Kost in the following link https://blogs.adobe.com/jkost/2013/04/lightroom-5-beta-upright-sync-behavior.html Unfortunately the copy/paste etc of Transform Auto. Level, Vertical etc. works the opposite of what it is supposed to do and in one scenario will not show the result till you cursor off and back on the photo. Original photos Scenario 1 using Autosync Select the two photos Turn on AutoSync Do Auto in Transform You get the following result which is opposite of the documented behavior Scenario 2 using Copy/Paste or Sync with "Upright Mode" in the Copy/Paste dialog Select the left photo Do Auto in Transform Select Copy and chose only "Upright Mode" and hit Copy Select the right photo Select Paste You get the following result which is opposite of the documented behavior Scenario 3 using Copy/Paste or Sync with "Upright Transformations" in the Copy/Paste dialog Select the left photo Do Auto in Transform Select Copy and chose only "Upright Transformations" and hit Copy Select the right photo Select Paste When you first Paste you get the following result which should be the documented behavior BUT, click the left photo and then the right photo and it changes to the following which is opposite of the documented behavior. Even though the end result is wrong, the fact you have to click off and then back on the photo to make it work is especially disconcerting to the user.
