P: Full Screen mode: Print & Book modules show wrong colors but output correctly

I am experiencing the same issue right now. May 22nd 2021 wit BigSur 11.2.3 and Lightroom 10.2.

IS ADOBE PLANNING TO TO ANYTHING ABOUT ANY TIME SOON? 

I have the same problem with zoom to fill mode and the color shift. Please Adobe fix this problem. Printing is very important and the color of the printed images is essential. Hurray up!!! 

Hello Gary,

In my case, the issue arises when I use the ColorFidelity camera profiles for the EOS R5. These are aftermarket camera profiles that replicate the Standard, Portrait, Landscape, etc camera profiles that LR used to provide for Canon cameras. In the absence of such profiles and having given up trying to make my own, I purchased these and they work well. 

I do not see this issue with applying LR's own camera profiles for the EOS R and the 5D Mark III.

I am quite sure that the pictures I printed came out great on my printer (don't laugh, a Pixma MG 6220 that is very old). I do have the iMac screen calibrated and I am using the latest version of the OS and LR.

In my case, unchecking the Zoom to Fill option in the Print module eliminates the problem, visually speaking.

Kind regards,

Dimitri

Hi Dimitri,

I'm seeing it with ARW, DNG, Tiff and JPG files.  When I print, the output from the photo lab unfortunately matches the zoom to fill. 
Thanks again for your help!

@Rikk Hello Rikk,

I responded to this thread as well, I am still seeing the same issue as others have described. Is there any update to this?

Kind regards,

Dimitri

Hello Gary,

this exactly the issue I am seeing in LR Classic (latest version) with Mac OS Big Sur (latest version). In my case, the problem only manifests itself when working on the EOS R5 files and not the EOS R or 5D Mark III. Importantly, when working on the EOS R5 files, this phenomenon does not affect the actual print, it comes out as expected.

Kind regards,

Dimitri

Thanks for your post.  That may be the way it works in 10.0, and OS 11.0.1, but in 10.2 and OS 11.3.1 the colors are shifted and when processed the photos are printed with the shift.  Here's what I see.

Old pic but shows the skin tone shift.

1st here's the edits made on the original

Now here's the same pic in Print mode with zoom to fill unchecked

Now with zoom to fill checked.

Can anyone else confirm this issue?

Hello everyone,

This problem still exists in LR Classic and Big Sur. Below is a summary of how it works (or not), consistent with the earlier comments and images posted:

I started using the ColorFidelity camera profiles for my EOS R5 a few months ago in Lightroom. I recently noticed that after applying the desired Colorfidelity profile upon import and making adjustments in the Develop module of Lightroom, when I switch over to the Print module the image looks very different than it does in the Develop module, as if the ColorFidelity profile has not been applied and instead only the standard Adobe camera profile has been applied. In the past, when using my 5D Mark III, that was also the case as the develop module likely tried to simulate the printer and paper, although now, I think the difference in the images is quite pronounced. It appears as though the ColorFidelity profile is not recognized by the Print module. Fortunately, the actual printed image looks fine, actually, better than fine. In contrast, when developing and printing an image from my 5D Mark III or the original EOS R, the image in the Develop and Print modules is quite similar, the main difference being the image changing based on the type of photo paper I use. Since I am not using the ColorFidelity profiles for those cameras, I assumed that there may be some interplay between the ColorFidelity profiles and the Print module.

Kind regards,

Dimitri

@Philip Mc Gowan I have the exact same issue. Mac Mini M1 latest Big Sur and when zoom to fill is checked the image gets almost desaturated. Not sure if it effects print quality but sure is concerning.

Thanks Gary. Make sure you let blurb know to keep the pressure on Adobe.
