I recently started suffering a different behavior with the LRC Auto Settings where the result is totally unusable. I used to be able to do a shoot, import the raw files, select all in Library mode (Ctrl+A), Ctrl+U to apply auto settings to all selected files, apply the X-Rite profile I generated from that shoot. This would get me a long way toward a usable starting point for doing more detailed work like healing etc. with close to natural skin tones.
With LRC 11.5 or so, and still happening in LRC 12.0.1, the Auto Setting is suddenly completely blowing out the photos (combo of over exposing and lifting the Whites far too much among other things), and generating some crazy skin tones without even touching the Temp or Tint. The only preset I'm using is the built-in Lens + CA Correction. I've attached a photo pre and post Auto Settings to demonstrate the bizarre result on skin tone. The original is clearly underexposed, but the result is bizarre in comparison to previous versions of the Auto Settings behavior.
I'm not clear on the timeline (camera or LRC upgrade happening first) , but this also started to happen around the time I transitioned from a Canon 5D Mk III (CR2) to an R5 C (CR3).
I'm not sure if something is happening in the background (not showing in History drop down), a setting I mistakenly switched, if Lightroom Auto Settings for CR3 files is just this far off, or something else entirely. Have any others experienced this workflow breaking new behavior, or am I the culprit? If I'm the culprit, any suggestions for correcting it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
