P: Second Monitor initially not rendering image clearly.

Here are two screen captures for the same image displayed in Library and Develop modules. The Library module shows the pixelation and the Develop does not.





I am using an i7 intel processor, nVidia 560Ti, Windows 8.1, LR 5.4.

Here's a screenshot from my Windows 7 system that displays the "softness" jpowens refers to in the secondary loupe image at 8:1 Zoom View. It can be demonstrated on my single monitor system.

Please see my post 9 days ago, it contains details of my system. From the wide reporting I do not think this is a platform specific issue.

"Why will the primary monitor display pixelation at high magnifications while the second monitor never shows pixels even at extremely high magnifications."

I am not actually able to reproduce this problem. Neither the primary nor secondary monitors interpolate at high magnifications in my testing. Can you provide some info about what Lightroom version you're using, what operating system you're using, what file type you're using, and any other relevant info you can think of?

Thanks,
Ben

The issue only occurs in the Develop module on my Windows 7 system running LR5.4.

Todd,
I think you may be missing the point of a lot of people on this thread and others.

The second monitor is not accurate, It is not the same image as the primary monitor. When editing, only the primary monitor can be trusted to show the true result of editing and adjustments.

So, the question is "What good is the second monitor" ????

Ben,

Thanks for raising the issue with the engineers. If you can please just ask them why the image on the second monitor is a rendering of the image on the primary monitor?

Why will the primary monitor display pixelation at high magnifications while the second monitor never shows pixels even at extremely high magnifications. If it is because the program is 'rendering' the image through interpolation then please STOP. It will slow things down and introduce problems.

Hi All,

Sorry for the trouble, and thanks for all this info. I am able to reproduce this problem as well, and have reported the issue to the Lightroom engineers.

Note that there are several slightly different issues discussed in this thread, so to be specific, what I have reproduced and reported is the fact that when a photo is displayed in loupe view on the secondary monitor, it often appears blurry when advancing through photos in the Develop module.

Thanks,
Ben

The issue occurs when "reviewing" multiple images inside the Develop module. I suggested a work-around here: https://forums.adobe.com/message/5836...

Until this issue is fixed confine your "review" of images to the Library module and then add any images that need further Develop adjustments to the Quick Collection (hit 'B' key). After you've reviewed all images in the group you are working on, select the Quick Collection (CTRL + B key), and switch to the Develop module. The first Develop adjustment you make will cause the image to sharpen same as in the Library view.

I agree it's not the best solution, but it should help until the issue is resolved.
