Hi. After updating to the latest version of Lightroom (15.1), I can't get the "hover over presets" option to work in the Develop module. It only works in the browser, but now it also shows up in the Magnifier. This is causing performance issues. Help.

Hi @sebastiandominguezph, Thanks for reaching out! Let's try a few things to see if this resolves your issue:

1. Check Preferences > Performance and confirm “Enable hover preview of presets in Loupe” is turned on. While hovering, hold Shift to pause or resume the preview.

2. Reset Lightroom Classic Preferences: Please take a look at this Helpx article for steps.  https://adobe.ly/3HsQXpA It is recommended to back up your catalog before resetting preferences. If you would like more information, you can refer to this article: https://adobe.ly/4dW8vqF.

3. Adjust GPU settings under Preferences > Performance. Toggle “Use Graphics Processor” between Auto, On, or Off to see which improves performance. If available, enable “Use GPU for Preview Generation.”

 

If you continue to experience this issue, we can continue to troubleshoot and follow up with the next steps. I hope this helps! ^CH
