Again I am unhappy with this answer.

I haven’t updated anything except lightroom recently.

I don’t know why you can’t see this is a lightroom issue.

Please allow me to speak with a supervisor because I’m getting lots of suggestions which are not helping me.

If you actually watched the video or read my original message you could see that the photo is not changing in colour and again to repeat what I’ve said so many times it only happens with certain photos, not all of them.

Please, please forward this to someone higher up the team as I’m getting no where.

The adobe support has let me down so many times now.

I feel like I’m paying for the software but not the support.

Your problem looks a bit like the one in this thread: RAW flat profiled photos turn oversaturated and overcontrasted after loading!

So what setting have you chosen Under File handling > Previews in the Import dialog? Choosing Embedded & Sidecar could cause the the image to change the way you describe. Embedded & Sidecar will use the embedded jpg preview – Standard will create a new preview from the raw file, which will be identical to the Develop preview.

Also, the shift in the image you see is because images in library module are not the actual preview of them. Only when the image is rendered in the Develop module and in the 1:1 preview you can compare the image with the original rendered image in other apps. It all depends on your monitor profile as WobertC has rightly mentioned.

The preview in the Library module is an actual preview, unless the embedded jpg is used as a preview. (Embedded & Sidecar is chosen under File handling > Previews in the Import dialog) So previews in Library and Develop should be identical, even at magnifications other than 1:1. The exceptions are sharpening, noise, chromatic aberrations and moiré, which must be viewed at 1:1. But image brightness and contrast should not change.

And the need to view at 1:1 has nothing to do with the monitor profile. (although there is a possibility that the monitor profile could be the culprit)

So you are using a Leica camera and it looks like that image is from 2014. I have noticed some very strange behavior with some of my Leica M8 images when Viewed (opened) in the develop module with the newer versions of LR that I don't see when viewing them in LR 5.

Some kind of change in the Default profile setting being applied. The only option I found that works to get them back to "Normal" (whatever that really is) is to use the Reset button then changed the camera profile to something that works for me. Then Updating the Default settings to apply that same camera profile to all images from the 3 serial numbers for the Leica M's I've used over the years.

EDIT:

That images is not from 2014. I was looking at the Time Stamp not the Date captured. In any event same applies as posted above.
