Looking at the first post in the thread, I got the impression that NLP version 3.1 has silently been released by @nate … I downloaded and installed NLP 3.1 without any issues on my 2019 iMac running macOS Sonoma 14.7.6 and Lightroom Classic 13.4. So far so good.
Testing against a collection of 138 images worked without issues and with results that met my expectations. This is how I tested:
- Created a new catalog and added test images to it
- Cropped the images and adjusted orientation as needed (rotate and flip)
- Adjusted WB automatically for all images (colour and b&w)
- Created a set of virtual copies, launched NLP and repeated the following
-
- Set conversion parameters (Basic, Pre-Saturation = x, Border Buffer = 10%)
-
- Start conversion and wait until done, hit okay
-
- Create a set of VCs from the newly converted images
-
- Select NLP’s first tab and undo the conversion
- At the end, I got converted VCs with pre-saturation set to 1, 2, … 5
Converting and resetting or un-converting VCs had so far and often produced popups because of whatever the causes were. NLP 3.1 as available from the download page did not cause any ill effects during the tests.
NLP 3.1 seems to run stably in the system described above and it’s my expectation that it will do so with other versions of Lightroom, operating systems and hardware platforms. I might retest on M1 MacBook Air. Don’t hold your breath!
