Question

Show clipping not working for some camera profiles

Recently, show clipping stopped working for me in Lightroom. I've now tracked down the problem and it seems to be a problem in Camera RAW too.

 

It seems to be a bug related to certain camera profiles. If I use the newer Fuji profiles (Classic Neg or Bleach Bypass), clipped areas no longer show, even if I push the exposure, black and white points etc all the way to the end of the scale.

 

To replicate this, just take an image with a fairly broad histogram. Open in Camera RAW with a standard Adobe profile. Push the black point or white point slider to the end, and the clipping areas will show in blue and red. Now change the profile to Camera Classic Neg, and the colors disappear.

Recalibrate and build a new ICC display profile, the old one might be corrupted.
If you are using software/hardware for this task, be sure the software is set to build a matrix not LUT profile, Version 2 not Version 4 profile.

Can you point me to instructions for how to do that?

Unless you just mean just building a new ICC profile for my monitor? I know how to do that, but I assume that's not what you mean because that surely wouldn't cause the clipping colors to show only for some camera profiles...
