Presets not carrying over all the way

[RobertSmits]

Hi,

Lately, I have noticed some issue in Lightroom (other than it being very slow).  I generally import images through PhotoMechanic, sort through them, determine which images I want to keep and delete the rest.  I then import these into Lightroom and select the option to have the auto develop settings.  After this, I go in the gridview, and select another preset from SLR lounge and apply that to all images.  This way, my pictures are 80% edited and i go through them one by one and tweak them some more.  However, since some time now, I noticed that the presets (SLR lounge) are only carrying over on a number of images, not all, while I made sure I have selected them all.  I have the feeling that it sometimes is 10 images, other times some more.  But it is a pain to go through them, thinking they have all been edited with the preset.

I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue?  I am on the latest LR cc on a Windows 10 XPS15 9550, Intel core i7-6700HQ @2,60GHz, 16GB Ram.

The only other article I found that has some of the same issues, is : Mass editing in Development Module is not working? , but that was 4 years ago and isn't solved yet.

I haven't tried syncing the photo's after I preset one and sync over the others yet, as I then need to get into the nitty gritty to see on what the presets all work and it should work through the gridview.  (My catalog from a wedding I shot, is 1550 images).

By the way, I have just tried to sync the photos in the develop module, but it seems also here, it only takes about 9 images and sets the right values, after that, it is not doing anything...

This bug has existed for many years, unfortunately, and Adobe has acknowledged it: Lightroom: Applying Auto Tone to a batch of photos loses subsequent develop settings | Photoshop Fam... . The first post contains two workarounds.

Please add your me-too vote and details of why this is important for you to the bug report. That will make it a little more likely Adobe might fix it before the next ice age.

It seems that did the trick!  So in the library module, go to Library --> previews --> Render stander previews.  After that, you can set the new preset!
