Thanks Jeff
Misplaced via the dng codec i wonder. This would explain why the image adjustment still exist visually on the image when flicking the develop history, but does not represent on the tone curve.
Just to clarify then.....
There is now no need to wait until the dot release. In other words i am assured that the dot release will 'replace' the tone curve on my old images, and thus i can continue on my merry way enjoying all the +ve's LR4 offers for new image imports?
