Adobe Lighroom v5.2 - Develop Module Sync Settings Bug?

Hello Everyone,
I`m working on a batch of files (about 200) and I just noticed something weird going on in the Develop module.
Here is what I want to do and it doesn`t really work as it should:
Pick a value for "Highlights" for one photo
Do "Ctrl+A" to select all the other ones
Choose "Sync"
Select "Highlights" and like always, "Process Version"
Logically this should apply the same value for "Highlights" to all other photos but it`s buggy. It does it for several photos but not for all of them, which makes no sense.
Hardware information:
Adobe Lighroom v5.2 , Windows 7 64 bit installed on a "beast": 32GB of RAM, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770K CPU @ 3.50GHz, 3501 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
Has anyone noticed this bug?
P.S.
I chose "Highlights" just as an example because the same thing happens when I try to sync "Contrast", "Whites" or "Blacks".
Cheers:)

I never sync "Process Version".
Why not? Lr does not properly convert process version upon sync (or at least it didn't used to), and if process versions are already the same, it does no good.
I recommend instead:
1. convert all photos to desired process version, if not already.
2. sync other develop settings (not process version).
For same reason, I never save process version in presets. YMMV...

Sync Settings Bug w/ Lens Corrections

I'm having an issue with "Sync Settings" and Copy/Paste. Even though I have it *unchecked,* Lens Corrections are being applied. Obviously I only notice it when I try to sync some develop settings, for example, from an image shot with a 135mm to one shot with a 24mm -- the distortion correction is synced even though I've not check it in the Sync dialog.
Running Mac OSX 10.5.8, Lightroom 3 64-bit.

Here is a thread from yesterday. Apparently, already known.

Develop Module - Camera Settings

Somehow the profiles for the cameras and ACR settings has disappeared and all I have is embedded. I'm not sure what changed, one day I had all the sedttings, the next all I have is embedded. I have reloaded lightroom with no improvement. Anybody have an idea how to restore my settings?
thanks

Never mind, I'm an idiot, or just to much egg nog. I was trying to do it on a jpeg, not a raw..

Old Develop Module in new upgrade LR5

I am trying out the 30 day LR 5 trial to see if I would like to upgrade. For some reason my Develop Module contains the same tools as my older version, though I know I shouldn't even see a "brightness" tool... How do I fix this and get the new tools so I can continue my 30 day trial?

You are probably viewing photos edited in Process Version 2010.
Update the photos to PV 2012 and access the new tools
http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/help/develop-module-options.html
Be warned that there are big differences between PV2010 and PV2012 and you may not always like the changes.
http://digital-photography-school.com/understanding-lightroom-process-versions
So it's up to you whether you want to convert all existing photos to PV2012 in one step - or if you want to convert them one/several at a time.
New photos imported into LR5 will automatically be edited in PV2012 so there will be no conversion required and the tools in the Develop module will be the new ones as expected.

In the develop-module there is a menu-option "settings proof". What does it do? Can't find any in

Where are the basic settings in develop module?

Since updating to lighroom 3 using a MacPro running Snow Leopard I seem to be missing all the 'basic' settings on my develop module namely exposure, white balance etc. All the other adjustment settings are there. Any idea how to fix this?

When you are in the develop module, right-click in the right-hand panel and make sure there is a checkmark next to the basic settings. If there isn't just click on basic settings. Then it will show in the panel. The different areas are designed so that you can hide any that you don't use.

LR 3.2 - Pb with the reset settings in the develop module / library module

Hi
i have a big issue with LR 3.2. In the library modul, my thumbnails didn't have anymore the small icon saying that the picture has been editing in the develop modul. When i am moving into the develop modul, the history is still here but the picture appears in the defaults setting like she has never been edited.
It is said : "reset settings"
How can i do for my pictures to became like they were ? I can't go back one picture by one picture. Did I changed something, I really don't understand and need your help.
Thanks
Nico

In the Library click View >View Options
Under the Grid View tab select Thumbnail Badges
You should then see your icons.
To Re-Set a batch of photos select the first one and reset it.
Hold down the shift key and select the last one (so that all are selected)
Then click Sync.

Why is it so chaotic to Sync Settings between apps of Adobe CC 2014? (and to transfer settings from CC to CC 2014)

Although, in general I'm a big fan of the Adobe Products and the CC Idea, I think that some parts of it were not ready for launch.
The part that mostly disturbs me is the settings syncing / Update. (Or "Seamless Update")
Concerning the updates:
I had own workspace in all the CC Adobe Apps, the only CC 2014 App that imported the previous settings in the new app at the first start was Photoshop.
Indesign made it through the Edit => Migrate previous local settings
Illustrator by copying the settings files manually
in Dreamweaver and Flash I had to recreate the workspace manually (which finally took less time then trying to sync settings.)
So long for the Seamless update that wasn't so seamless.
Concerning the settings syncing
Why could'nt adobe have the settings syncing working the same way in all it's CC 2014 applications? ( File Menu on PC / The Name of the App Menu on Mac => Sync Settings, upload or download settigns; done!)
Instead (on mac) :
In Photoshop: Photoshop => my account name => upload and download settings ( and no way to import settings from previous version )
In Illustrator: Illustrator => my account name => Sync Settings ( and I cannot import settings from the previous version, only from the same version )
in Indesign: Indesign => my account name => Sync Settings ( and the only CC 2014 App where the "Migrate previous local settings" function is working )
in Dreamweaver => my account name => Sync Settings and a button on the far right of the upper toolbar (and no way to import previous version's local settings)
in Flash => my account name => Sync Settings and a button on the far right of the upper toolbar (and no way to import previous version's local settings)
in Premiere Pro => my account name => Sync Settings with the possibility to clear settings and to use settings from a different account
Appart from that update and syncing chaos, the syncing between two computers simply doesn't seem to work ( at least for me).
I have a computer at work and a laptop at home and I'd like to have the same workspace in my apps at home as at work for occasional home working.
I created and configured my custom workspaces on the mac at work and then synced settings (respectively uploaded them in Photoshop). I had cleared all the saved settings from the Creative Cloud online account first.
I arrived at home, tried to sync settings but no workspace was implemented. (and before you ask, yes i had checked that the workspaces should be synced and that, on the laptop at home, the cloud settings should be applied.)
After few tryings I gave up and ended up recreating my setings on both machine. Frankly I don't know why the sync settings are for, since they just don't seem to work.
I really think you should rethink this feature: make it simpler, working THE SAME WAY in all Adobe apps, and, well, just working!
I'd just like to log into creative cloud an any computer, sync settings, and be able to use my custom created workspace.
I posted this in the Cloud Forum since, in my opinion, the settings syncing is a cloud matter and not a matter of each app individually.

load an image and open the tone curve panel (you already did this probably). at the lower right of the canvas you'll see a button with "!" on it. click the button to convert to "2012 process". wait. when it is done if you *still* don't see the channel dropdown click the "edit tone curve" button to hide the sliders and *then* you should see the channel dropdown.
I found this totally mystifying, but once I found it (luck) I get it...new features, new entries in the database or some other magic. anyway the video sure didn't give me a hint.
this will be my 5th try posting an answer to your question, hopefully this time it will work, no thanks to support, 5 times resetting the password, etc etc.

Basic settings tab missing from Develop module

I recently bought lightroom 4 after using the free 30 day trial, and i have no basic settings on my mac, can't find them anywhere? My tabs go from histogram to colour curve. Where are they?
Very confused..
Message title was edited by: Brett N

No need to be confused, you've probably inadvertently hidden it. The thing is that in every Module, all the individual panels in each of the left and right-hand columns can be optionally shown or hidden under user control (there are few minor exceptions such as the Navigator, but by and large this control is available throughtout Lightroom).
So to bring up the options for each column (in your case the right-hand column of the Develop Module), simply right-click (ctrl-click on Mac) on ANY of the headers that are showing in that column and you'll see a pop-up context menu like the attached screenshot. Here you can see that I've previously hidden the Basic panel, so all I need to do is click on the Basic line and it's restored. Conversely, I can use this method to hide a panel.

Photoshop Help | Sync settings using Adobe Creative Cloud | Photoshop CC

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/sync-settings.html

Steve,
Actually, I beleive this is a CC issue... but Who Am I? In any event...
I have not been able to Sync.
I have had only one Adobe ID (since around PS 3).
My Network Connection is fine (if evidenced only by us communicating.)
I have quit and lanched PS probably 20 times since I discovered this issue last week.
Thank you for taking the time to help me.

How do I show the Develop Module settings when I open up an image I've exported from LR 4.4?

Say I have a preset that I use upon import. I import some raw files using that preset but decide to tweak the settings a bit per each image. IOW, now they are different than my preset.
I now export from a tweaked raw file a jpeg. If I later import that jpeg back into LR 4.4 but don't apply any presets upon import (just leave it blank, I don't even check None), when the image is in the Library the "Saved Preset" line over on the upper right says "Custom" so I figure my settings were "embedded" into that jpeg when I exported it.
However, when I then go into the Develop module, all the Develop settings are zeroed out. Is there any way to have the setting sliders represent what I actually did to the raw before I exported as a jpeg? I can't just hit the preset I used upon import because, in fact, the current settings have been tweaked.
Along that same line, is there a choice I can select upon import (of an exported jpeg or tiff or whatever) that says "show current Develop settings" or some such instruction that would take care of this during import. Thanks.

No it’s not possible but you have a record in the history panel for your master (raw file) It will show the date you exported the jpeg etc. If you click on that line it will show all the develop settings to the right e.g. the slider values etc.
You can in fact save them as a snapshot; so if you make further tweaks to your raw file, the settings you used for your jpeg will always be saved.
Most users don’t re-import jpegs because they can export a fresh one at any time. It’s also possible to create a virtual copy from the menu (Photo >> Create Virtual Copy) which can have different settings to your master (original raw file). You can create as many VC’s as you like and they take up no extra space on your hard drive. Because they are virtual they are simply stored in the catalog as metadata.

In Adobe Lightroom, the Develop module is saying "Develop module disabled. Please renew your membership to reactivate the Develop module". I bought this product at full price several months ago.

The Develop module is saying "Develop module disabled. Please renew your membership to reactivate the Develop module". I bought the product at full price several months ago and have had no problems using it until, so I am not sure what it is asking of me. I only had it on one other computer before I added it to this second computer, and I understand we get 3 copies. There should not be any issues. I need an answer ASAP.. actually pretty shocked that there is no immediate customer service that I can contact for a problem like this.

If the develop module is disabled then you have downloaded and installed Lightroom from the creative cloud. It cannot be licensed with a serial number. It requires a creative cloud subscription, and is activated and kept active with your Adobe ID and password. That version will not work on your computer and will have to be uninstalled. Then you can install from one of these two links:
Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1
Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1
This will have no impact on your catalog or your images. After you install from the right website you will be able to continue where you left off.

Unreasonably Slow Develop Module LR 4.3/5.3

I was running LR 4.3 (updated version) on an iMac with OSX Mavericks w/ only 4GB of RAM but that hasn't been a problem in the past, 350GB of free space on the desktop hard drive, and 200 GB of space on the external drive where the images and catalog are located. Working on a wedding with RAW files, CR2 (Canon 5D Mk II) and NEFs (D700) (about 700 images total). Develop module takes 60+ seconds (up to several minutes) to load each image with the "loading" window, then an additional 60+ seconds for the image to load completely from a pixellated preview. This also happened on my Macbook Pro wth 16GB of RAM. Tried to auto-sync develop settings (Basic exposure settings, lens profile corrections) for ~45 photos and it took over 3 hours on the MBP. Haven't been running any other programs, ran a cleanup on the desktop to clear unnecessary files. Cleared the RAW cache, increased the size of the RAW cache, optimized the catalog, rendered the 1:1 previews (took many hours), and even created a new catalog with the images on the desktop. When all of this didn't work, I upgraded to LR5.3 and I'm still having slow (not quite as slow as before, but still infuriatingly slow) reaction times from Develop. I've wasted so many hours and I can't pinpoint where the problem is coming from.
Also receive an error message that "another program is using ____ Catalog" for several other catalogs. Could that be related to this?
Is my only option to get a new computer? This iMac (21.5") supposedly doesn't support any additional RAM...or so I've heard.

Correct. That's proprietary processing with the LR engine which has yet to be done (rendered and exported). The preview in those Adobe app's understand this and show you the edits but ACDC can't. You have to render an iteration as a TIFF or similar with the edits applied for another app to 'see' that. ACDC has not access to those preivews so it doesn't show you what will be applied upon export.
