I've confirmed it's on their radar but didn't make today's release.

Big Sur. 11.6.1.   Lightroom 11.0

Others know what I'm talking about.   When I move from Develop Module to Print Module and select Zoom to Fill to create a borderless print when the aspect ratio doesn't match - the colors fade.  Not a whole lot, but I imagine anyone who has worked hard to get the colors right from monitor to software to printer feels as I do that this slight color shift is not helpful.  Please fix this.  There are so many wonderful upgrades to Lightroom.  Please, create zoom to fill to retain the colors that are carefully chosen in the Develop Mode.  Thanks for your consideration

Isn't it fixed in the Lightroom Classic 11 update that was released today?

Any idea when this bug will be fixed?
I have to finish a photo book but having the images not showing up in the Book Module with the same colors as in the Develop Module makes this a nightmare.

Okay, this is not a monitor problem.   Lightroom Classic 10,4.   Big Sur 11.6

When I move from Library Mode to Develop Mode the colors match.

When I move from Develop Mode to Print the colors match

Except

if I have Zoom to fit checked.  The colors dull. I used Zoom to fit to make borderless prints when I need to work around ratio.  

Ideas?

Is there an update I'm missing.

This is a known bug. Merging your post with the bug report.

I starting having this same problem when moving to Big Sur: the colors in the print module are shifted and desaturated. Recent upgrade to 11.5.2 seems to partially but not completely fix it. 

 

Now, the problem occurs when I select Stroke Border in the print module. The colors shift/desaturate. Unclicking, the colors are correct again. This is new behavior, since on macos 11.4 the colors were initially and always bad viewing in Print.

Oddly, I never saw the reported problem of zoom-to-fill. 

 

This is a serious and seemingly VERY BASIC bug that Adobe needs to fix. It's been MANY months of this.

The bug report with the Print module showing wrong colors is still open, acknowledged by Adobe but not yet fixed:

Normally, I'd ask that you add the details of your issue to the bug report, but it didn't get copied over in the consolodation of the two forums last week.  (I've alerted Adobe.)

To build on Ddegannes's reply, Adobe has acknowledged two bugs with zooming and colors:

I have heard of something similar... please comment with your OS version and Lightroom version so we can attempt to isolate options for you - thanks
