P: Second Monitor initially not rendering image clearly.

Thanks!

Select ALL (CTRL + A) in the folder that you are editing images in and go to Library> Previews> Build 1:1 Previews. It will only rebuild the previews for images that have changes, so no worries with ALL is selected.

I don't see the crop issue, but then I'm not using a true dual monitor system (just a 2nd window). Maybe others with dual-monitors have this issue?

I always wait for the 1:1 previews to complete before I start reviewing.
How do you "rebuild the 1:1 previews after editing"?
I'm also noticing lately, was probably there before, that when I crop the second monitor does not accurately render the crop until I leave the crop tool - it's out sometimes by 100s of pixels. Also inconvenient, especially when doing a close cropping.

Are you rendering 1:1 Previews on Import and rebuilding the 1:1 Previews after editing the images?

I see no issues on the secondary display when using the Crop tool with my Win 7 system. It my be a problem unique to the Fuji X-Trans raw files.

Blurry. It started up sometime recently, perhaps with 5.1 or 5.2. I lost some shots because I thought they were completely out of focus and so I deleted them, when in fact they were perfectly OK.
I should add that I am working on Fuji X-Trans files, and I believe they render slower than others.
On the other hand, I have had problems with second monitor rendering since V5. For example, if I am in the crop tool, it NEVER rendered correctly until I close the tool.

All the dual-monitor posts I've seen so far concern issues with the Develop module only. What are you experiencing in the Library module, blurry, slow, other....

You're lucky, I have the same issue in the Library panel as well. I have to browse in the Develop panel so that I can make an adjustment to view accurately at 100% to know whether I am in focus. Slows me down a lot in my initial reviews and is a right pain in the butt.

Any setting change made in the Develop panel causes the secondary display image to become sharp. The solution for now is to not use the Develop module for simply "browsing" images. I agree that the issue needs to fixed since the image view above 1:1 (2:1, 4:1, etc.) is interpolated, or as you say "homogenized."

Hello Mike
Zooming on the primary monitor does not change anything on the second monitor. I really have to do some manipulation to get the picture sharp on the second monitor.

Mike,

That is a good work-around, with limited effort and impact. It would be great if we did not have to use one.

There is also the issue of the second monitor interpolation of the images. Which is the root cause of the blurry secondary display. When zooming in there should be pixels. Big square blocks with jagged lines.

While in Develop mode I use the second monitor in two ways.

1) l keep it at "Fit" setting in loupe while I zoom in on the primary monitor to make adjustments. This gives me the holistic and detail views.

2) When working with the client I will have them view the secondary display while doing the adjustments on the primary monitor.

What I need is the ability to choose which type of images are used for the secondary display. Homogenized soft edged interpolations, or Real files with defined lines and actual pixels.
