P: Images not sharp unless I zoom in and out

This problem also happens when using the full screen display option (F key) and zooming in and out in the full screen image. Sometimes, after zooming out, the full screen image is displayed in low resolution.

Yes, I'm using an adequate size for the standard previews.

If it helps, I also changed Standard preview size from 1920 (my monitors' width) to 1680px, as I never view previews on the entire screen.
Preview Quality from Med to High

Also unchecked "Use Smart Previews..." in Preferences/Performance.

Good news for you and all others who use Windows. However, this “workaround” does not work for those who are using MacOS.

Windows

Are you using Windows or MacOS?

I've installed new version from scratch (deleting the old one entirely, keeping the prefs only) and it seems to work now.

any news meanwhile?

Hi there, I think this issue is the same: https://feedback.photoshop.com/photos...


There’s a workaround (re-install lightroom, reset settings, discard previews and rebuild previews) but it only works in Windows.


I’ve recently purchased a MacBook Pro and have been struggling with this since. The previews used in the library look very low quality. Especially on darker images and shadow areas. Zooming in at 1:1 or more does render a full quality preview in develop but not in library nor on slideshows.


I can see that this thread as been marked as “in progress” but does this mean that the issue has been identified and a fix is on the way? Any idea of when this will be out?

The issue happens very often but not always. Lightroom shows low resolution image after changing settings (see the screenshots). If I change current image twice or even click on the same image on the ribbon, then it shows the correct image. The issue is so annoying that I'm going to stop using Lightroom just because of it. Please fix it as soon as possible!

very annoying workaround though.
