LR Classic 10.0 on macOS Big Sur 11.0.1 shows the original, unedited version of the photo when using the "Zoom to Fill" function in the Print module. In other words: All the edits done on the photo do not show when "Zoom to Fill" is checked. This seems to happen regardless of the Paper size setting or any other setting in the Print module.

I am on a Mac Mini (2018) with Big Sur 11.2.3 and LrC 10.2. I often use the LrC book module for printing photobooks via Blurb paying a lot of attention to the quality and layout of my images. Since Big Sur I discovered that there is a major and bad colour shift in the preview of the image when using the command Zoom Photo To Fill Cell in the book module, also using the zoom function in the cell causes the same issue -> image is getting a kind of desaturated result! I read discussions in other posts of comparable problems with zooming in the print module and in the library module, and those problems still seem to exist. I found out that those problems don't occur on my MBP (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013) with Catalina 10.15.7 and LrC 10.2. So it seems that LrC doesn't work fine together with Big Sur in this respect. I hope that this problem will not affect the quality of my images while sending a book to Blurb. I may expect that Adobe will solve this problem now within due time.

Color differences between Develop and Print modules.

Hello, I am reaching to you at Adobe to try and fix a problem. I prefer to ask for your help instead of losing time researching the internet. Regarding the hardware: I use the iMac, retina 5K 27 inches, 3,1 GHz Intel Core i5 6 hearts. Running with macOS Big Sur 11.2.3. Now the software: Adobe Lightroom Classic 10.2 Using Lightroom Classic, I notice that the work (crop is OK, but color, saturation not) that was done on a file in the Develop module does not always reflect in the Print module. Even when I change the color profil from Adobe RVB to Pro Photo RVB. Sometimes the colors are ok. But every time I use a layout, the colors are incorrect. Do you have a solution to fix this? Thank you for looking into this.

Did you actually print this to JPEG and then check the colors of the JPEG? I do not think that the print module is color managed. It does not show you a soft proof, but simply the same previews as the Library moduke does. The Develop module has different previews so they can indeed look different. Ignore it and look at the printed result. Or choose Soft Proof in the Develop module and choose the same profile here.

BTW, do not create JPEG's in ProPhotoRGB! ProPhotoRGB should only be used in combination with 16 bits color and JPEG does not support that.

Thank you Johan for your help.

I do not print at home. But I prepare the files and send them to a lab. I save in JPG and sRVB or AdobeRVB before sending. As I open the file before sending it, I can see that the color are ok. From what you write, I understand that it is a question of color management in Lightroom. I read the following about Lrt:

"In the Develop module, by default, Lightroom renders previews using the ProPhoto RGB color space. ProPhoto RGB contains all colors that digital cameras can capture, making it an excellent choice for editing images.

Library, Map, Book, and Print modules in Lightroom render colors in the Adobe RGB color space. The Adobe RGB gamut includes most colors that digital cameras can capture together with some printable colors (cyans and blues, in particular) that cannot be defined using the smaller, web-friendly sRGB color space."

What I do not understand is why sometimes the colors in Print are the same as in Develop and many times not? For my creative process, I prefer to see my file color adjusted when working a layout to be printed. Thank's again

When switching from the Develop Module to Print, I've noticed that the colors look wrong. Sometimes when the layout has multiple images of the same file (1-5x7 and 4 wallets), some have right color and others don't. It almost looks like when viewing a high color gamut jpg in a sRGB environment like a web browser. I am using a M1 Mac Mini and on 10.2.

I tested today with BigSur 11.2.3 and LrC 10.2:

Still the same Problem.

I am somewhat disappointed, since this issue is known now more than 4 months...

Still no fix? Unbelievable.

No, unfortunately. This flaw makes it impossible to print borderless, as not only do the photos show up as desaturated in the Library and Print modules when zooming in on them, but they also come out of the printer like that!
