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.

When I increase the grain slider nothing happenes, I don't see the grain effect but when I export the image the exported image does show the grain effect.

 

I'm using lightroom 4.4 on a macbook pro running mac os 11.0.1

Hi there,

 

I have exactly the same problem where I can't see the grain properly until I export, at the moment the only fix I''ve found for it seems to be zooming in on the image as when viewing the full picture, the grain is almost invisible. See if this works for you at least until somebody can find a more permanent fix?

 

All the best.

teams are probably working on October 11.0 release and did not assign enough resources for a proper bugfix update. Same thing happened last year when heal/clone tool was broken for couple of 9.x releases and was not fixed until 10.0, which then added more bugs. And the cycle continues... perpetual beta software

sorry for the confusion, Todd, that was kind of sarcasm post with indication at the end " not... [slow clapping here]". Adobe never ceases to amaze me.....

Eugene this issue is not fixed in LrC 10.4 on Windows 10. Run the test as outlined in my original post above. What OS are you using.

This has been a problem for YEARS! I'm surprised so many of you think this is recent. Like everything with Adobe, I've resigned myself to leaving it alone and adding the grain in a different program. 

I've had this issue (amongst other problems) across multiple computers, FOR YEARS! Adobe does not care and will not fix it.

This is actually one of the milder creative cloud bugs.

They just don't care about issue severity. This happened more than once, critical bugs that obviously could be fixed relatively fast were dragged along for a couple of updates while proudly fixing some small unimportant issues that weren't blocking anyone's workflow. And they switch to 'ostrich mode' in the relevant support topics when they have nothing to say for themselves. Great company.....

Big Sur 11.4 LRC 10.3 ça fonctionne correctement chez moi !

Contrôlez vos paramètres Paramètres du catalogue / gestion des fichiers et surtout faites un reset des paramètres de démarrage de LrC

Big Sur 11.4 LRC 10.3 works fine for me!

Control your parameters Catalog parameters / file management and above all reset LrC startup parameters

It is the LrC v10.3 update, and STILL having this grain issue on my Mac! I really don't understand, why not fix this! AMD vga in my Macs. Catalina on macbook, Mojave on desktop. Raw files, origanal photo, not tested with smart previews. (did not tested with jpegs, but don't care jpegs)

Same issue: moving the grain slider to MAX, and still a moderate grain effect is visible only. Library, Develop, same. If I zoom in 100%, it shows the correct amount (heavy grain), but at 50% not. So Fit view, 50% view not correct grain rendering. 
This problem exist since November I guess, still no fix. And we pay for this... 
I have to use v9.4 to work with th sw.
