For some reason NLP always selects ‘engine settings’ v2.3 instead of v3. All install is good, v3 is there, I can reset photo and when converted again it triggers v3. Note, these are not previous conversions, I am aware that on previously converted negs I have to go through the reset photo to apply engine v3. These are new scanned rolls and imported into LR from an SD card after cam scans.
Anything I am missing, not doing it correctly?
LR: 13.2
NLP: 3.0.2
MBP: Apple M1 Max
OS: Sonoma 14.3.1 (23D60)
PS. The difference after going through aforementioned rest from v2.3 to get v3 are astonishing!
@Digitizer Thanks. No traces, (except back up v2 file now deleted). Deactivated v3. Downloaded v3 and reinstalled and activated the licence. Still same, the engine always reverts to v2.3 and have to go through the loop of rest and convert.
(In v2 of Negative Lab Pro, any “saved” default setting was stored inside Lightroom’s internal preferences, so it could have held onto that there.)
Second, it could be that the default preset has been modified.
If you have created a custom preset and use that as your default, or modified the previous default, it could be that when you saved the custom preset that your engine settings were on the older settings.
If that’s the case, you can try this: 1) Convert a new image, 2) Change the engine setting to v3+, 3) Then click the preset dropdown menu, and select “Update - NLP Standard”
Hi @nate - Thanks so much. Reseting Lightroom Preferences/reinstalling worked.
I had to quickly scan few new negs to confirm as resting → converting again always set the engine to v3+. Newly imported negs instantly triggered engine v3.0.2
PS. just in case this happens to anyone else; resting LR preferences, removed ‘control N’ shortcut, so had to add it manually using ‘three spaces’ before Negative Lab Pro trick…
I’m having the same issue. I deleted the preferences and reinstalled 3.0.2 but I’m still getting v2.3 engine as the default. I tried this:
If that’s the case, you can try this: 1) Convert a new image, 2) Change the engine setting to v3+, 3) Then >>click the preset dropdown menu, and select “Update - NLP Standard”
for the NLP Standard - B+W preset but that didn’t resolve it either.
Thanks,
Eric Ghost
I’ve been able to replicate the issue specifically within B+W mode.
I can get this patched in the next release. BUT, I would not expect to see a difference in black and white based on the difference in settings, since the differences in settings here are more related to color. The exception to this would be if you are doing a lot of toning on your black and white image.
@Eric - are you having issue with just black and white images? Or with color conversions as well?
@nate - Thanks - now it makes sense why I originally confirmed that LR preferences reset worked. I quickly scanned few colour negs (previously not in LR library), so when imported, NLP triggered engine v3.0.2…
When will the patch be released? I pretty much only shoot B+W, home dev & scan (economic reasons )
Hi Nate,
Thank you for getting back to me. I just tested several color conversions and the engine defaulted to v3.0+ so I don’t have the issue with color - only Black and White. Thanks much! NLP is a real game changer for me. I greatly appreciate your work!
Best regards,
Eric
Profile version numbers are independent of the version number of NLP. Different profile versions exist in order to support different versions of NLP. Think of profile version numbers as of generations rather than of numbers matching the NLP’s version.
I just installed v3.0.2 and BW conversions still says engine setting v2.3.
It changed to v3+ for Basic conversion.
I have not hade any previous versions on NLP installed.
