P: Library zoomed view shows wrong color

When zooming into an image in library mode, the color changes suddenly and differs from all the consistent colours shown in develop mode or library mode (fit image). I just updated to LR10.1 and appreciated other fixed bugs. I am using an external BenQ display calibrated to AdobeRGB profile using xrite. The images have Adobe profiles (AdobeVivid) applied.

OK, ok. I get it, I get it. This isn't Adobe's problem; it's my problem.

So, I'll just go ahead and figure out a different way to get my imaging work done, then. My relationship with my customers is too important--again, now more than ever. The work's got to get done, on time or before--under-promised, over-delivered. When I say one of my products is ready, it's ready. I'm not about to just leave customers hanging for weeks on end or brush them off, whether their needs are "not something everyone sees" or no. 

Stay safe out there, everyone.

I also have the same issue, Lightroom classic version 10.1.1.

I have Big Sur, 11.1. 

Canon R5

Macbook Pro 16 (2019)

Same issues on my Max PRO 2013 + blur images ! 

Never had this issue before.

It’s not a display / icc profil, the preview on the top left keeps the good colors.

If it was a ICC issue, it would affect all the screen, not just one part of it.

I only shoot RAW (Canon and Fuji), are JPEG affected to ?

Again, I'm on Big Sur, I see no such bug or change in previews. The bug just doesn't affect all users. It isn't Apple doing anything with the display profile.

I see the same issue for sRGB profile selected in Mac display settings. I would appreciate to see a screenshot of a correct behaviour on any Mac with BigSur and latest LR proving that there is no issue. I would appreciate if there would be from Adobe either a statement that they tried to reproduce it, even if they failed to reproduce it, that they are working / not working on it.

Somebody needs to create a video of the bug and post on Youtube so it's replicable.

I'm another Mac OS Big Sur user who's seeing this bug--namely, inconsistent colors at different levels of zoom in the library module, as if Lightroom loses track of the color model (ProPhoto, sRGB, etc.) it should be using to render its own previews.

I wonder if this has something to do with Apple's new active profiling, which adapts system profiling on-the-fly to accommodate HDR images or video alongside "normal" content when necessary?

Regardless: I upgraded to Big Sur only because Adobe announced Lightroom Classic had been thoroughly tested and was compatible. I waited until you guys told me it'd be OK. Can you understand how frustrating it is, then, to encounter this obvious, glaring bug right out of the gate?

And then your latest update doesn't address the issue, even though people have been documenting it here and elsewhere across the internet for six weeks? When's the next update? If history is a guide, it looks like I'll be waiting until April or May for spin at the update wheel-of-fortune.

Whoever at Adobe is reading this forum: can I just level with you, one professional to another? Hustling business and staying afloat during Covid lockdowns has been a NIGHTMARE. Surely you understand what the pandemic has done to the imaging industry? To the millions of small businesspeople and freelance creatives who rely on your software? How precarious our situations are, right now? Useless previews in the library module make a hard life that much harder. One more thing that doesn't work in world of things that no longer work. Feels like you guys are just kicking me when I'm down, and I'm the sucker paying you a monthly fee to do it.

Livelihoods depend on your software working when you say it does, as you say it does. Now more than ever. Lightroom Classic is *professional* software, is it not? Honestly, I'm beginning to suspect you don't take that responsibility very seriously.

"My son is using sRGB, perhaps that's the difference?"

Which setting exactly do you mean he is using? The system wide color profile? In that case his colors might be so out of whack that he may just as well not see subtle variances of saturation this bug involves.

Have no idea what the Adobe tester here is saying, I just did a clean install of Big Sur with complete wipe of hdd, and upon installing the LR Classic the bug is there plain and obvious. I cannot imagine this is "extremely rare". My machine is MacBook Pro 16 2019 maxed out except for SSD.
