Question

Last edited photo blurry in Survey view (N)

Hi everyone,

I’ve encountered a recurring issue in Lightroom Classic and wanted to check if others have seen this too — or if Adobe might be aware of it.

Issue: When entering Survey view (N) in the Library module to compare multiple photos, the most recently edited photo (in the Develop module) is displayed blurry, while other photos appear sharp as expected.

This seems to be a rendering issue that only resolves itself if I either:

- deselect and reselect the image multiple times, or
- completely restart Lightroom Classic.

 

After restarting, the photo appears sharp as it should, even without changing any settings.

 

Steps to reproduce:

1. Edit a photo in the Develop module.
2. Switch back to the Library module.
3. Select the just-edited photo and a few others.
4. Press “N” for Survey view.
5. Observe that the most recently edited photo appears blurry.

 

Expected behavior: All selected images should appear sharp, regardless of recent edits.

 

System info:
Lightroom Classic 14.4 on Windows 11

 

Would appreciate any insight from Adobe or the community. Is there a known workaround or upcoming fix?

 

Thanks in advance!

 

Michael

Hey @Michael Holch

First, thank you so much for providing the steps to reproduce and including a screenshot. While I wasn't able to reproduce the issue on my end, that doesn't mean it isn't happening to you. Could you share your system info? You can find it by going to Help > System Info, then copying and pasting it into a text file to attach here. Also, what type of files are you seeing this issue on? This will help us look into it further.
