Images turning Green and in Lightroom Classic CC

I've had some issues with Lightroom Classic CC lately, where the image will appear fine however once I start working on it, it will suddenly turn dark green and black. Sometimes if I continue to attempt to work on the image it will revert back to its original state, but it has become a more recurring problem now.

Any help with this?

    Also, please share a nice complete screenshot from lightroom of the issue, Screenshot should include entire Lightroom screen, left, center, right, bottom and top areas included

    Please share with us your system information as reported by lightroom. In LR click on Help, then System Information, then Copy. Paste results in a reply. Include info from first line down to just past plug-in info.

    P.s. what camera? And if you have more than one camera, does this behavior occur for images from one or more?

    What view in Lightroom shows this green image problem? Library Module? Develop Module? Both? Some other view?

    It differs, sometimes it will appear normal in Library, sometimes it appears green and then turns normal, and vice versa.

    In Develop it will usually appear black and green but will sometimes revert back when toggling between tools.

    1. Check GPU settings (on or off) and try a different setting. This is found in preferences.

    2. It could be a faulty ICC display profile. Recalibrate and build a new one.

    3. It could be how the profile was built. Set your software to build Version 2 (V2) not V4 profiles.

    4. It could be the type of profile built. Try Matrix instead of LUT based profile. Again, that's a setting in whatever software you use to calibrate and profile the display.

    Hi Katied,

    Sorry that images in Lightroom are turning green, let's help make it right.

    Couple of things we'd recommend you to try:

    • Could you please try turning off the GPU option from Lightroom's preferences? Go to Lightroom > Preferences > Performance tab > Uncheck "Use Graphics Processor" > Restart Lightroom and let us know if it helps?
    • Take a look at this similar thread Photos turning green in Lightroom CC Classic and let us know if that helps.

    Thanks,

    Akash
