I am trying to save a preset I have created, however when I apply the preset on an image thepoint curvesetting is missing. I am not sure why this is happening as I've previously successfully saved presets without settings being missed.
My Lightroom CC is up to date (V6.4), I have restarted it too.
This is what the selection looks like when I press "Create Preset" as you can see the tone curves are ticked
However, when I apply the preset, the point curve doesn't change.
Please could someone give me some advice, thank you.

I am trying to save a preset that I made that includes adjustments to both the point curve and the tone curve. Here is what it looks like:
When I save this preset and then apply it to the same picture, it looks completely different. My point curve adjustments aren't saving, only the Tone Curve:
I know it's hard to tell from a small sample of my picture, but the coloring and shadows are all off. How can I save my preset so that it copies all of my adjustments, not just the Tone Curve?
I assume you are using Lightroom-Desktop v6.4 on a Windows-PC.
You can just select the [Light] box for all 'Light' adjustments to be included, or you can just select the single [Tone Curve] box to be specific to include only the Tone curve. If it is only the Tone Curve adjustments you want in the Preset, then uncheck everyting other than 'Tone Curve'
The [Tone Curve] option, when checked, will save a Preset that includes both the Parametric Curve and the Point Curve adjustments.
I just tested a new Preset again, with "Tone Curve" checked (as in the clip above)- The Preset when applied to another photo applies both the Parametric and Point curve adjustments (as in clips below).
Note that you need to click on the icons to choose which Tone Curve type to view- you will never see both at the same time.
I assume this is still your question re. both tone curve types.
I do have the Light box checked, that is why all of those boxes are checked in my screenshot. But we seem to be getting different results when tested. Here is what I see when I am creating the preset.
Here is my photo, with adjustments on all curves:
Here is how I create the preset, with all boxes checked including Tone Curve:
And then here is what I see when I apply that preset to the same photo:
As you can see, none of my curve adjustments besides Tone Curve were saved. The photo looks different in both color and lighting, most notably in the shadows.
I've also been experiencing this issue with Lightroom 6.4 (arm64) on Mac OS Ventura 13.5.
It most notably happens when I have a preset that contains some of the Premium Preset masks like Enhance Portrait. It does not happen consistently and I have verified that when saving the preset, all of the checkboxes are checked - with the exception of Auto Settings. I typically use the point curve and not the tone curve. I haven't had this issue until recently.
It seems a temporary work-around is to copy the edit settings (three dot menu on the right or Command/Control + C) and paste them on to the photo you want to edit, then adjust and apply anything else.
I am wondering the exact same thing! The point curve is such an essential tool in photo editing and including it in a preset is crucial. How do you otherwise incorporate crushed blacks into a preset? I know this can be done in LrC, but I'm mostly, if not only, editing in Lr mobile.
Your Preset contains a Point Curve but you have selected the Parametric Curve in your screenshot. Select the Curve on the bottom of the left icon (Gray Circle)
Can you make an edit with a point curve in LR (not classic) and save it as a preset? It seems that you can only save the tone curve and not the point curve. Thanks in advance
I'm having the same issue. I've resetted Lightroom desktop preferences, but it still doesn't save the tone curve adjustments when I save or update a preset.
Yea, I unfortunately never found a solution to this problem. Weirdly, it's only an issue for some presets - half of the time, it will save and copy everything over perfectly, and half of the time it ignores the tone curve. I don't understand why.
I just ran into the same issue. I don't have any Premium Preset masks, just plain old Light/Texture/Optics tweaks including point curve (and no parametric curve as suggested by others), and when I create a preset from an image and then try apply it to any image (including the one I just created the preset from) it applies everything except the point curve.
Older presets I created years ago have no problem applying point curves.
Great that you have reported it as bug, seems to be a legitimate one that started in version 6.4. I had to downgrade to 6.3.1 for me to not encounter this issue.
Hi Rikk, not sure if I followed your steps correctly but the point curver is still not being copied. What I did instead is to downgrade to 6.3.1 where the issue is not happening. Seems like this issue started in version 6.4.
yep this is what i've been able to do as a workaround, just copy the settings & paste on a fresh image, but it would make life easier if i could just save the preset
