P: Second Monitor initially not rendering image clearly.

Update:
It is true, if I select the image in the Develop module, the image is not sharp on the second screen. If I switch to Library mode and back to Develop mode the image is sharp.
If I select the picture in Library mode (as I always use this workflow) and the switch to Develop mode the image on the second monitor is sharp.

Hi Tood, thanks for the information. I had the problem in the Library module and in the Developer module. After rebuilding the previews and with all new images I have newer get the problem again.

This can help when viewing images in the Library module. The issue being reported here is in the Develop module, which preview rebuilding does not seem to help.

I have this problem with a 2013 macbook pro using 2 connected monitors. Until I realized that this problem existed, I deleted many photos that I thought were out of focus! Please fix!

Have anyone tried to rebuild the preview's.
It has worked for me....

Perhaps the 'older' previews are not compatible after the last software upgrade. Just an idea.

Problem: Prior to making any modification to a slider the image on a second monitor when in Loupe view is slightly blurred when compared to the main monitor's image when in Develop, both at the same magnification.

Many people have reported this issue, please see referred thread.

For me the image present in Loupe when loading is momentarily very blurred, it then shows as per the develop screen on primary module (good), then blurs somewhat after a few seconds (bad). I have built 1:1 previews, and have my jpeg preview set to full size etc. Other posters have mentioned moving a detail (or presumably any) slider will result in the loupe view on the secondary monitor becoming consistent with the first. I've observed this too, I've also noticed just clicking and dragging on the loupe view image causes it to return to being consistent with the primary screen in the develop module. This leaves me with little doubt that this is not only undesirable behaviour, but also a BUG.

Given the breadth of systems observed I do not think this is hardware specific. I also do not think it is hard to reproduce based on the diverse reporting documented on this website.

This is completely ridiculous! One of the primary benefits of having the second screen is that you is that you can observe in Loupe view what you are doing in develop view. I can't believe such an elementary bug has slipped in to LR, and has survived for so long. Do you have anyone running tests with dual screens?

Please address this long standing and fairly fundamental issue either with a work around (settings), or a proper code fix.

Thanks,
Iain

Indeed, why does it do that?

You're right. Funny, after all this time I never noticed that. I guess I don't go to 8:1 very often. I like the image on the second monitor better 🙂
