new feature "match look" not working
For sure I downloaded the last version of C1 as soon as it was released to try the "match look" feature :-) But something must be wrong with my eyes. The match look doesn't even come close to the reference picture, even when it is the same picture. It totally messes up skin tones (I tried with different skin types, different references and different target pictures).
Here is one example:
Is anyone else experiencing this? If it is just on my machine, I'll try to "reset" everything to defaults. Otherwise I'd file a bug report.

I haven't tried using Match Look on the same image, and I'm not sure what I would expect in that case.

Same here, images with applied look are so much off the reference that it must be some bug or something.

Sven,
I haven't seen a detailed description of how the 'Match look' capability works or tried it so, what follows is speculation on my part.
As C1 are exploiting AI at the moment, I suspect the capability is enabled by an AI analysis of your Reference image, the result is a model that describes key characteristics such as exposure, colour tones etc. This model would then be used to influence the actual tool changes required for each selected recipient image to achieve an approximation or similar look to the Reference. If this is how it's working then it may be more helpful to think of it as 'Approximate look'. I'd guess that the capability isn't aware - which is reasonable - that your images are actually the same.
Perhaps if you gave a human two clones of the same images, one being a processed Reference and the other an unprocessed clone and asked them to make the second image look the same as the Reference I'd bet the result wouldn't be identical to the Reference. Depending on the person's skill/interpretation/artistic vision it might be very close tho.
So, I wouldn't like to say there is something not working with this new C1 capability. It will be doing the best it can using whatever constraints it has.
Just my thoughts...

Hey,
on my pictures, it sometimes works great, and sometimes it's totally off.
I guess, they have still to improve that to get more consistency.

Match Look is not working, not even close. Released too early, hopefully this will be fixed in future updates.

Some users are finding that it works very well. In my experience so far it is a good tool in some situations but not in others.
Can you share examples of when it isn't working for you?
