P: 10.2 Grain Effects Render Incorrectly In Develop Module

The Develop module no longer properly renders the Grain Effect settings in LrC 10.2, which appear much more pronounced and correct in the Library module and exported files. I tested with GPU enabled and disabled with LrC restarted and the issue persists on my Windows 10 system.

 

The below screenshots are with LrC 10.2 using Grain settings Amount 100, Size 50, and Roughness 100.

    Sorry for blaming Adobe in that case. It was clearly my fault as I had checked the option to use Smart Previews instead of Originals in the preferences > performance dialog! Now it looks all fine as expected 🙂

    I'm sorry, but this bug is not yet fixed.

    I also have that problem although I already updated to version 11.4.

    When I switch between photos in develop module, the grain is not visible until the sliders and panels on the right side are loaded. Then the grain (33/25/25) appears as if it was zoomed by a factor of 100 and gives the photo and overall pale look.

     

    My system:

    Win11, AMD

    GeForce 1050Ti (no effect if GPU support in enabled or disabled)

    4k Monitor (Windows scaling 150 %)

    The example is from an uncropped 24 MP photo with "fit" view.

      Yes, I tried all graphic possible combinations but it did not resolve the problem.

      my configuration is :

      MAC PRO 2019 / Montery and Vega pro II  (96gb ram )

       

      😞

      You may have a GPU issue. Try disabling the GPU and see if that fixes it.

      In LrC Edit> Preferences> Performance set 'Use Graphics Processor' to Off as shown below. Close and restart LrC to apply the setting change. Does that fix the issue?

      It's Lightroom 11.3 now and still hasn't been fixed. Sorry but in the next daay i'll switch to C1.

      Develop module not showing grain effects as they should appear. Showing fine in library module. Been an issue for a while. I saw this reported about a year ago. I've noticed it for at least that - if not longer. Never been a fixed through any update for me

       

      Currently running V11.2, CR14.2 on Mac Montery 12.1

      You are zooming in at 1:1 or greater?

      Try disabling GPU in preferences and view again; any different?

      Zooming in shows the effect properly, I've known about this. It's not a fix for the issue at hand (seeing the grain effect in full/"fit" view).

      The LrC 11.2 and LR Desktop 5.2 updates have fixed this issue on my Windows 10 system. Thank you!

        Hi.  I have been working with Lr for a few months without issue.  But today I have edited some photos as normal, tried to export and they then go grainy and poor quality.  Can you advise what's wrong please?  I have tried resetting my preferences but it hasn't worked.

        We'd need to see a screen capture of this poor quality export. We'd need to se a screen capture (proabably several screen captures) showing the Export dialog box. And we probably need to know the size of the image before export (in pixels, width and height, do not tell me megabytes) and we probably need to know how (what software and what magnification) you are using to view this poor quality export.

         

        Include screen captures in your reply by clicking on the Insert Photos icon. Do not attach files.
