I used to edit photos in the FIT option. and Zoom when I required to edit a specific area. I was not an issue till now. But happened to be like shifting the color/exposure when I trying to zoom. This affects the final export as well I am seeing different output that I see in the fit  options. I tried by changing the GPU off and On but resulting same.

    You do not give any information about which version (with version number) of Lightroom you use, on what hardware and what OS (MacOS or Windows), but I don’t see how just zooming in could change the color/exposure on any hardware/lightroom version. It is more likely that you have AI masks and/or other AI settings that need to be updated. Do you see a yellow ‘wheel’ in the upper right corner somewhere? That is a warning for this. Click on it to update the settings.

      Thank you 🙏 for the reply. I think that mask creates the issues. I tried to start from scratch on a new file then it is not reproducing so hope that the issue. 
      But earlier I had an issue when zoom in for editing the image get stuck for a couple of seconds and I tried toggle of the GPU it’s worked. Thought this also a similar issue. 
      I am using Lightroom classic 15.5  on a m4 mini with 32GB 1TB having sequoia 15.7.9
