LR4: tone curve settings lost after upgrade

I've find an annoying bug in this new version that makes me really crazy.
I've a Nikon D300S and a D7000.
After the importation of the catalog in the new Lightroom 4 all the D7000 .dng files have lost all the tone curve settings (I normally use linear).
The D300S files instead retain the tone curve settings.
It's a very strange behaviour: I've lost more than half of my old photo settings.
It's really frustrating.
Will be resolve soon this problem?
Until that day, for my older works I'll be obliged to continue to use LR3.

I've probably found a sort of workaround!
I've made some "organized" tests and here I report my findings.
Using LR3.5, I prepared a "test catalog" using 4 images from 7 different cameras (28 images total): for each of them, I used both the original nef and the dng converted file (56 files in the catalog), all develop process was set to "2010".
The cameras were Nikon D70, D90, D200, D300s, D700, D5000, D7000.
I applied a strong tone curve to each image in a way that the appearance was heavily characterized.
Before exit LR3.5, I SAVED ALL THE METADATA TO THE FILES.
Opening and converting the catalog using LR4, doesn't show any visual change until I zoom in library or open the develop module: both these operation lead to a flat image with the strong tone curve lost.
Curiously, the history retains the original steps but they are ineffective: histogram and tone curve changes according to the visual change but for some camera the "new" tone curve is "medium contrast", for others (D5000, D90) is "linear", for D300s is "custom" (linear with blacks cut at 9.8%, and this explain my initial impression that D300s's curves were untouched, sorry). This last behavior may depend on the fact that I've different default develop settings depending on the camera serial number.
Finally, the update to the 2012 process only minimally changes the visual appearance and surely doesn't restore the lost tone curves.
And here is the UNEXPECTED WORKAROUND: doing a READ METADATA FROM FILES IT RESTORES THE TONE CURVES (and the 2010 process)! Upgrading the process to 2012 minimally changes the visual appearance again but now the strong tone curve is present and evident.

  • Sync settings lost after Snow Leopard upgrade

    After upgrading to Snow Leopard, I wanted to sync my iPhone with iTunes again.
    But all settings were gone!
    Do I have to re-set everything, or is there a way to retrieve the previous settings?
    (I made a SuperDuper! clone of my computer's HD before the upgrade.)

    Yes, I am having the same problems.  I have no keywords or metadata showing up anywhere within my files.

  • GMAIL Lost after upgrade to IOS 8.3

    I have lost access to my GMAIL accounts after upgrading to IOS 8.3 !
    IOS Settings does not provide me a way to enter a new application password for the account - there is NO PASSWORD box displayed anywhere in the GMAIL configuration. So I tried deleting the account and re-adding it but i get stuck in an endless loop of two-step confirmation and it "appears" to add the account (prompts me for which features - mail, notes, calendar, etc.) but then when all is said and done NO GMAIL ACCOUNT shows up in my list of accounts.  WTH?
    And trying to navigate Apple's support screens has become an exercise in frustration and futility!
    Anyone got any ideas how to fix this mess?

    Just wanted to add to this thread.  I found out that this might be related to using the iCloud Keychain on iOS and with a computer using Mac OS X.  Due to how iCloud Keychain stores all passwords across all synced devices, which can be both iOS devices and Mac OS X computers, the methods for accessing and updating those passwords has changed.  Not sure whether this is intentional by Apple or not, but it seems that the ability to update passwords stored in iCloud Keychain is not something you can do through iOS (or at least, I have not been able to find a way to access the keychain and view/update any of the passwords stored there).
    If you have a computer set up to use iCloud Keychain, you can use the Keychain.app to view/modify any passwords that are stored there, which "should" update the passwords stored on the iOS device, if that keychain item is actually synced to the iCloud Keychain. (Tested this and confirmed)
    The problem appears to arise specifically if you only have one iOS device (or only have iOS devices) using iCloud Keychain.  The option to update passwords seems to be missing.  Not sure it this is new to 8.3, but this is the first time I have run into this problem, and cannot seem to find any reports detailing this problem anywhere else.  In fact, to a greater degree, most articles/sites that discuss the iCloud Keychain only refer to the usernames and passwords stored by Safari, which are not the only passwords and information stored by the iCloud Keychain.  This issue being a prime example.
    I did notice that when re-adding my gmail account using my iPhone, the login page was actually just a webkit presentation of the gmail login page (webkit being the underpinnings of Safari, used for displaying HTML, but not actually the full app or Safari), which is where I entered my username and password, which I am assuming is now stored in my iCloud Keychain.  I even checked in Settings>Safari>Passwords&Autofill>Saved Passwords, and my gmail username and password are NOT listed there, so iCloud Keychain is storing some items somewhere else, which is not accessible by the end user through the UI.

  • LR4 Tone Curve default

    Why in LR4 is the Tone Curve default set to Custom with a contrast lowering curve? I would like the default to be linear, but I can't remember how I set that up in LR3.

    You probably had a preset for your camera in default develop settings, set to LR3- linear tone curve?
    And now you have changed it into LR4- linear and have saved this as new develop default?
    On this forum we prefer to share findings, so that others can benefit from by reading about it... It is not enough if just your particular issue is solved.

  • All data lost after upgrading

    I lost all data after upgrading my iPhone 3G to iOS4. I was able to recover only the information that syncs with mobileme, everything else was gone, in all apps: bank accounts, passwords, notes, games, settings, etc -everything
    I already restored and restarted, even used time machine, nothing seems to work. Any help?

    I am trying to update to the newest software, and get a warning that i need to save/transfer new purchases to my library. I know the last time i did this update i went with continue, and as the others in the posting have indicated lost information. It didnt matter to me at that time, but now that I have more info to lose, i dont want to do it, so the other option on it is to do as it asks. But, I am having a hard time doing that. I have done what they have asked by going to file and transferring, but, it doesnt seem to be working. As i continue to get the same warning. I am not going to update this till i get the answer to do it properly this time. But, want to know why it doesnt want to transfer the info that it requires, for me to continue on. I think this is why the others in the thread are losing their info.

  • How can I recover all my MAIL emails lost after upgrading to TIGER?

    Hello,
    I just bought Mac OSX Tiger today and after upgrading from the previous Mac OSX and after launching Mail, I discovered that all my INBOX emails were LOST!!!
    I still have the Draft emails, the Sent emails and Trash but no trace of my 1,425 ancient and precious INBOX emails!
    Please help me recover them. I tried lots of ways to get them back but cannot find them. I'd like to also understand what happened.
    Thank you!

    HI Greta, Did you Clean Install Tiger, or Upgrade from a previous OS? as if the latter, you might find them in the ARchived files.
    I upgraded to Tiger in December and it caused problems with mail but I didnt lose the messages. So I am thinking you did a clean install.
    Post back with more info please

  • Digital AV Adapter: "Accessory not supported" and "TV Out" settings gone after upgrading iPad 2 to iOS 5.0.1

    I've used the digital AV Adapter (bought in Apple Store) nicely on iPad 2 with iOS 4.3.x.
    After upgrading to iOS 5.0.1 the TV Out settings have disappeared from the General Settings menu (no matter if adapter is plugged in or not).
    I thought that maybe it was time to do a full reset (just in case), so I did that, while the adapter was still plugged in.
    When the iPad finished resetting I got a popup message on the lock screen saying:
    "This Accessory is Not Supported by iPad"
    The adapter sort of works, i.e. there is a picture on my TV, but I cannot control the TV output settings which I could in iOS 4.3.x.
    The TV Out settings are completely missing from the General Settings menu (if they were moved in iOS 5.0.1 somewhere else, I could not find them).
    The "TV Out" menu item is not there at all.
    I cannot select between PAL/NTSC output anymore which is crucial for me as it seems that the iPad current setting is PAL, while I need to be it NTSC, otherwise video drop frames/stutters when played back over a TV.
    What I would like to know if there is anybody out there who has iOS 5.0.1 and actually can see the "TV Out" settings under the General Settings (I think it should follow the "iTunes Wi-Fi Sync" directly), because no matter what I did I cannot the settings menu to be displayed (I've reset the device, plugged and unplugged the adaptor and HDMI cable multiple times, tried different TVs, etc)
    Or, if the settings are in fact, gone by design, then how am I supposed to play 23.976 or 24 FPS media on a 1080p50 TV without stuttering (don't answer that, I know it is impossible, I am just frustrated). This is the first ever device I bought from Apple and I must say I am not that impressed by such turn of events.
    I mean, what kind of update removes essential features and makes the officially produced accessory suddenly "not supported"? Did they even test their own official accessory?? Seems not to me.
    This thread is talking about sort of similar issue (although it is about the VGA adapter):
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2413622?start=0&tstart=0

    Hi,
    the settings are gone, i guess. But even worse, I cannot get the iPad2 to play Full HD thru the Apple digital AV adaptor using apps that support  (and advertise this), like AVPlayer HD. This definiteley used to work before one of the last iOS upgrades. (I am now at 5.1.1).

  • User Settings lost after session is released

    I am having a problem with the User settings being lost after the user logs off the system.
    menu settings, fields displayed in Marketing  Documents,  displayed User Defined fields and the
    sequence of User defined fields get lost after the session ends.  This does not happen to all users,
    just some users.  The users that keep losing their settings keep losing their settings,  the ones that do not have a
    problem seem never to have a problem.
    has anyone else experienced this problem and if so, how has it been resolved?
    Thanks in Advance!!!

  • LR4 Tone curve reset

    Hi,
    Installed LR4 today and ran into a problem.
    I have been working with alot of negatives lately and therefore my photos have a reversed tone curve. When I converted my existing catalog all looked fine, using the old previews. But when I go into develop on any of the photos the tone cureve gets reset to normal behaivour, and I have to redo the "invert". And all this using the old process (2010). This is really problematic. Can someone else confirm this issue?

    Quite the same problem for me here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/971408

  • SMTP settings changed after upgrading to 10.5.5

    Anyone else had this problem. I noticed after upgrading that I was sometimes getting an error when sending mail. I’ve looked at my mail account settings and they have changed back to smtp.mac.com. I’m sure they were changed to smtp.me.com when MobileMe went live.
    In work at the moment so cant check, if changing them back will fix it.

    Howard,
    More important than the form of name, is whether there was any change in the Port settings? Is it Port 587, as would probably be the best setting?

  • Lr 3.6 - Unable to save own tone curve settings

    Currently I'm trying to save an own "tone curve" but in the menu no entry to save it appears. In my understanding an entry "Eigene" (or "Own") should appear as soon as I am changing the tone curve manualy.
    I am using the latest version of Lightroom 3.6 running under Windows 7 64-bit (both in German) with Camera RAW 6.7 installed.
    Any ideas or hints to solve this issue?

    That's it! You just saved my day.
    Thank you very much.

  • Airport connections lost after upgrade to Snow Leopard

    After upgrading to Snow Leopard, I am no longer able to connect to the Internet wirelessly.  I have had to resort to connect via wired connection.  I have tried to reconfigure the connection.  It finds my wireless network, but when I type in my password it says it is not correct.  I know it is an issue with Snow Leopard as it worked fine prior to the upgrade and my other devices connect with no problem.

    Go into Displays Preferences and, if you haven't already done so previously, put a checkmark in the box for "Show displays in menu bar". Then, click on the resulting icon that shows up in the menu bar to drop the menu and select "Number of Recent Items" and set it to 10. Now drop the menu a second time and see if there are two 1920 x 1080 resolutions. If so, one of them may be the older one previously in use that was working.

  • Room directory overview lost after upgrade to stack 12

    Hi,
    after upgrading to stack 12 I can't see the created rooms anymore.
    Under collaboration > room directoy I see that there are 5 rooms cause there are 5 lines but the room names I can't see anymore.
    Consequently I can't access the rooms anymore.
    What's going wrong? Can anybody help me?
    Thanks

    Hi Gilles,
    thanks, the note solved a part of the problems.
    Now I can see the rooms in the directory and I can create new one. But if I access into an old room I see only empty content and an empty navigation panel.
    New created rooms have no problems. Do you have the same
    problem?
    Also I can't delete the test rooms again.
