Hi there!
The subject says it all. After I soft proof an image for printing I can't usw the before/after shortcut anymore. It seems like the "before version" is just gone. That's super annoying.

I uncheck soft proofing, hit the shortcut and nothing happens. If I don't soft prrof lightroom would show me the before image with zero changed values. That's what I need.

Please help or fix this.

Thanks!

I have a similar, if not same, issue. I cannot activate Soft proofing whatsoever with GPU acceleration activated. With the GPU acceleration deactivated, the Soft Proofing initializes, but the Before image just remains as a framed grey background where the image should've been.

In my LR 11.5 / Mac OS 12.6, the same misbehavior occurs with:

"The image I am testing with is raw (CR2). Is that what you are testing with?... I can repeat the behavior but only for non-raw files - can someone confirm that is the case for them?"

In my LR 11.5 / Mac OS 12.6, the same misbehavior occurs with:

- Two JPEGs.

- A Canon EOS-1D X Mark II .cr2.

- A Canon EOS R5 .cr3.

- A Nikon Z 6II .nef.

The test I tried was with a DNG (from a Sony raw).

"I don't see incorrect results. Sliders shouldn't move to the Before image's values by toggle before/after. The After Image always has App focus."

What I meant was that the actual image shown in Before has Temp = 50,000, rather than the original 4,600, which is incorrect. From your screen recording:

Original image:

Before / After at the end of the recipe:

So you're LR is experiencing incorrect Before/After results on that file, just somewhat different than the rest of us.

This is the behavior I am seeing. If you watch this can you tell if I am following your steps precisely?

Rikk, in your recording, it looks like:

- you're not typing Y in steps 3 and 4 before soft proofing.

- you're using the keyboard shortcut S to invoke soft proofing rather than clicking the checkbox.

But when I try to mimic your steps, I still get the (different) behavior in my recording and reported by Bob, so I don't think the differences in your steps are material.

However, your recording doesn't seem to produce the right results either. After you turn off soft proofing, the Before in the Before After shows Temp = 50,000 rather than the original 4,600:
