It has some terrible bugs in it. When changing presets the profile resets back to Adobe standard, even if profile isn't checked within that preset. It is making editing a real pain.
LR is also crashing. Please fix these bugs quick as I have tons of work to get done!
Is it possible to roll back a version? 7.3 can't be used in this state.

I can reproduce that between B&W and Color, but only on JPEGs so far, not raw.
TIFs for me (it's rare for me to use a raw for a final image).
Hello Victoria, i can reproduce the issue with raw.
I have Nates X-Chrome presets. In the presets-film section, there is a camera profile included (Nates Pure Tone camera profile). The 2nd section is X-Chrome developers and 3rd section is X-Chrome tone+paper.
And there the raw changes back to color.

Thanks Rainer, the engineers are on it.
I downgraded to 7.2 (Classic LR version on win7). There come ́s no information from Adobe about, when they think to repair the BUUUUUGS of LR Classic 7.3! I am wondering, that the presets after downgrading have full function. They are not renamed after downgrading. (~ exist in the front of the name from the preset-file)?

Yes, 7.2 ignores the ~ so they're identical to the way they were before upgrading.

Nope, the treatment and profile checkbox resets all the sliders so that is messed up too!
I'm also finding that my midi-controller is all over the place and pretty much useless now too, so having to do it all the s l o w way.
So what you are saying is you select one Preset that has a camera profile in it then you select a second Preset and it wipes out the first presets camera profile. Is that correct?
If it is that would be Preset Stacking, laying one preset on top of another preset. I'm not sure that was ever the way LR worked. But I could be wrong as I only use preset sparingly and usually only as a Base for other adjustment I make manually.

I haven't tested LR yet but I have a standard import preset that applies Camera Neutral profile to all RAW files. Typically if you apply another preset you get odd results, It SHOULD only change the XMP settings in the second but sometimes it doesn't seem to work right.
Just Shot Me: No that isn't what I'm saying.
Apply a preset with just a clarity adjustment in it and nothing else and it changes the profile! That is just an example of a simple preset, could be something else like vignette too. And LR certainly did work this way fine before, I'm processing thousands of images a week!

Yes preset stacking IS valid and CAN be done as long as NONE of the sliders cancel out each other. so if 1 preset is Highlights +10 and the other Preset is Sharpen -10 you CAN stack those fine. Many teachers (Ben Willmore, Jared Platt, etc) have created a hundred presets for their class students that work this way so that they CAN be additive and they break down a preset into its small individual components. Many presets out there do TOO MANY things all in one sweep but to be more effective many create presets that are smaller single area adjustments instead of affecting all panels at once. so yes this still needs to work as before otherwise there will be a LOT of unhappy Lr users out there...

Hi Adam,
I have found that I can reproduce your issue if I start with one of the Legacy Profiles.
After choosing one of these profiles clicking on any preset causes the image to revert back to a color profile.
For example:
1. Start with a raw image (CR2)
2. Apply Adobe Standard B&W Profile
3. Apply a vignette preset
4. Image changes to color Adobe Standard.
If you start with Landscape B&W it reverts to Camera Landscape after the preset is applied.
If you start with Neutral B&W it reverts to Camera Neutral after the preset is applied.
etc. etc,
Does this match the behavior you are seeing?
In other words, it only works if you use a raw image and start with one of the Legacy B&W profiles.
Let me know it that is what you are seeing.
Rick

I'm not sure about "legacy" but I'm glad to see you are finding it now too.
I was using "camera standard" which is in the camera matching presets (A Sony camera).
Sometimes it doesn't do it and sometimes it does. I'm trying to work out the differences but there is definitely a big in there somewhere!
Also midi controllers, I know not in adobes interest, but they have been rendered useless. When selecting presets now all the other sliders are reset to zero!

Rick,
Confirming that I am seeing the same:
Initial application of any "Legacy" B&W Profiles and subsequent application of Any Preset (except presets in any of the three "Classic B&W" groups) causes profile to immediately revert to color version.
I can work around it, for now, but certainly hope this gets fixed sooner, rather than later.
Thanks.

Thanks, Matt! I'll add your comment to the bug report.
Also, my Custom DNG Profiles are gone! I need those for my infrared processing. When I go to Calibration to set a custom profile, only four "Versions" are showing.
False alarm. Looks like they have been moved up to the Profiles area in the Basic panel. In the Profile Browser, choose "Profiles" to find your custom ones.
I do, however, see the OP problem of the profile changing back to Adobe Standard when I select a Preset. It is not only Adobe Standard it changes back to. I guess it is changing to whatever profile was active when the preset was created.
On a positive point, I like that the preset preview shows on the main image when you hover over it now, instead of only to the small navigation image.

LR 7.3 changes profile from BW to Color even when it is not selected in the preset
LR 7.3 changes profile from BW to Color even when it is not selected in the preset
It happens on both of my computers with Win10 - old PC i5 4670 (2013) and a i5 7200U laptop (2017)
Presets (starting with numbers) from 7.2 are mixed, not alphabetical and presets on the left side changes treatment from B&W "Adobe Standard BW" to color "Adobe Standard" even when its just "sharpening" (or dehaze, vigneting, lens correction,...)
Only "Adobe Monochrome" profile stays as it is, without change. But it is totally different from original "Adobe Standard BW" - a diferent BW mix and contrast.

B&W Preset needs to by "resaved" - this solves the problem (for now):
1. use one of your old B&W presets (Adobe Standard BW profile)
2. change profile to one of 17 profiles in BW section
3. set amount of profile effect to zero (0%)
4. update your preset
After this works LR fine with my B&W pictures combined with other presets

@Ondrej the tactic you describe does allow the file to remain black and white.
However, it appears to reset all the black and white sliders, despite those sliders not being defined when you preset is saved.
UPDATED. You are correct. If you make a preset for only exposure and select the treatment to also save BW1 into the preset at 0% it works.
UPDATE 2: However if the prest you before is an older presets that defines tradicional black and white settings and as such applies the Monochrome profile. It will convert to the new profle at 0% but will reset all sliders to zero in the process.

I have presets with huge B&W mix and all are 100% the same as before, just without this accidentally changing to color when its combined with other presets.
Adobe Monochrome profile was bad and unusable for me, even after some matching experiments... you can choose BW1 or what you want (2, 3, 4,..etc), final result is the same with 0% slider - it matches my old profile* :)
*i hope i am correct, i have tested it on just 5 different profiles

I tested this every way of sunday. Your apprach works from what I can tell if the preset uses new black and white profiles. But if you have a presets from last week that convert to black and white and then apply a new exposure presets using the paramaters you mention, the black and white slider are reset. At least on mine.
I would love to find a working solution.

My edited photos that are BW are converted back to color when I use my saved preset that edit for example just grain or sharpness and no colour changes. Is it bug? Happen after latest update. Thanks.
Watch this forum (upper), its a bug - try this, maybe it will work for you:
1. use one of your old B&W presets (Adobe Standard BW profile)
2. change profile to one of 17 profiles in BW section (not Monochrome)
3. set amount of profile effect to zero (0%)
4. update your preset

Do I need do this to all my around 100 saved presets? Or is it really bug and will be fixed soon?
Sadly this does not work on many presets because any mod preset that does not define a profile (for example an exposure preset) will simply revert to color and if a profile is defined in such a preset it will stay black and white but the Black and White adjustment sliders will be reset to zero.
