Hey guys I am at a loss with Lightroom (classic cc). Earlier, I switched catalogs and noticed the photos looked a little strange. (I went back to working on an elopement for which I had edited a bunch of photos for a preview a couple weeks ago). I looked at the photos I had edited already and thought they looked weird. I decided to calibrate my monitor, thinking maybe that was the issue, but it didn't change anything. Then I exported a few to see if there was any difference, and I found that the exported image looks correct, the way I remember it being, but it looks weird and desaturated and green in Lightroom. How would that even be possible? It isn't possible to change color space in Lightroom, right? I have tried soft proofing, and that doesn't change anything. I checked, and I am exporting srgb, and everything is fine there. I have had the opposite problem where things looked good in Lightroom but bad once exported, but never this. It is so strange. It was fine one day and then all weird today. The only things I can think of that I did right before all this: I got a new computer a few weeks ago (tower only, not monitor), and so I have been transferring my catalogs from the old computer to the new and ended up with a copy of my catalogs on an external drive and one on the computer itself. I had been editing on the catalog on the drive and then thought that was dumb I want to be editing on the one on the actual computer and so I switched, but Lightroom freaked out a little bit when I tried to switch to the other one because the catalog had the same name as it was a copy. So I renamed it by adding a 2 to the catalog name when viewing it in windows explorer. Immediately after that, everything went wrong. Could I have somehow effed everything up when doing that? I have been googling but am just at a total loss. I have attached two screenshots for reference. In the color one, the photo on the left is viewing in Lightroom and the one on the right is the exported one, which looks how I remember it looking, how I want it to look, and how it used to look in Lightroom as well. In the black and white one, you can see just how bad it is. I have tried calibrating my monitor (twice), uninstalling and re-installing Lightroom, restarting my computer, deleting all previews, switching catalogs, creating new catalogs, and nothing has effected it at all.
