Hi I've got a noyous problem.
Using Windows 7 64bits and the last version of LR6 (with PSCS6 also installed). I do also have the last version of LRT4 installed. This succeed with a Sony A7r and arw raws.
Here is what I do :
I load the data in a separate folder and include them in the lightroom catalog.
Then I open LRT4 and navigate to the directory where I have imported the series of pictures. I let LRT4 load the pictures and EXIF data. Then I set two keyframes : just the beginning and the end (it is just clouds, no complicated sunset).
I save the metadata to the pictures.
I return to LR where I process my pictures as needed : color temp, tint, exposure, shadows etc. plus clarity plus sharpness and lens profile. Just basic things you do in LR. No local correction. Just cropping the pictures to 16x9.
I do the first and last picture in the series and check that the settings works with all the others pictures in the series. Then I synchronize all the pictures with the same developping values. And finally save the metadata to the files.
Then back to LRT, I reload the exif and the problems begin : I don't know where this happen, but the temperature and tint are changed for instance, the first 30 pictures are correct, but then instead of temp 5100, tint 4 I'll get 5850, 8. There will be a lot wrong color balance, then it is correct again.. then wrong again. It can change between just a few pictures or after a long series.
I make sure that I save the metadata in LR and reload in LRT4, but that doesn't work. In LR, the color balance is as I set it.
I'm on a Lenovo notebook and the files are stored on an USB3 external drive. I have a lot of memory. But the disk is a little slow.. not sure whether that can cause problems ? Either LR isn't writing the metadata, or LRT is changing my settings.
Help welcomed !
