Lightroom Classic CC 7.3 — Major Problems

The current Lightroom Classic CC 7.3 update has major problems. It crashes frequently as discussed on the Adobe Forums, and also has problems with VSCO presets. I've had both of these problems and decided to roll back to v7.2. Adobe has recognized the problems, and I'll either wait until these are solved before trying v7.3 again, or shall simply wait for v7.4 before trying to upgrade again. You can read the article on v7.3 by Thom Hogan, which raises other issues, but doesn't deal with these two problems, before deciding if you're interest at all in this upgrade.

 

Please be so kind as to limit discussion in this thread of problems with v7.3 and solutions that may emerge. There are other threads in which you can vent your feelings about Adobe and it's policies.

Yes, Lightroom CC Classic 7.3 has several problems:

 

1) User presets from previously seem to have been altered. 

2) Importing hires JPG files will result in altered colors (for unknown reasons, seems to be when you use any sort of User Presets on import, and sometimes LR adds +1 exposure by itself!); but if you RESET the file, the colors as in the original JPG comes back. 

3) Errors on reading files (says file seems to be damaged and it shows digital errors in DEVELOP mode). 

 

I recommend downgrading to LR 7.2 which can be done this way in a few minutes:

In the original post, I wrote that v7.3 had problems with VSCO presets. Actually, the problems are much broader, apparently affecting any presets in various ways, as explained in this article

 

A web search for "Lightroom Classic CC 7.3 problems", yields many articles. I hope that anyone who finds solutions for the extensive v7.3 problems, or fixes issued by Adobe, will post that information here.

Genn - Are you using Lightroom Classic CC 7.3 or Lightroom CC 7.3?

 

I'm using Lr Classic CC 7.3 on Desktop and lightroom.adobe.com on iPad. 

Even sync symbol at the left of each previously synced collection name in Lr Classic CC is lost. :((

Jeff, thanks. 

I see that my issue is somehow connected with current battle for digital freedom between Telegram chat service and Russian Government Agency for Telecommunications.  18 M IPs of amazon and google are blocked, and Adobe uses amazon IP's for  creative cloud connections.  

Well, that is another limitation that shall be used to grow my artistic skills.  :D

I installed the updates both for Photoshop CC and Lightroom Classic CC.  I haven't had any crash in first few hundred images edited. I was getting crashes when going out to PS from Lightroom Classic CC before the updates. My existing custom presets were successfully converted to XMP. So for first day of editing, for my hardware it is working 100%

The dehaze slider was already available in v7.2.

Andy is correct that he has just now  seen the dehaze slider though. In 7.3 it was moved from the Effects Panel to the Basic Panel in the Develop Module. Now it is always visible whereas in the previous version it was hidden away unless you actually use the Effects Panel (At least I don't and that's always been closed in my settings)
