Hello, Sorry for my bad english.
The problem apeard today, I was importing images and they turn more yellow than on the camera.
In library the show yellow, in develop they show normal. But when i tried adjusting the white balance the became more yellow, as in it wouldn't work.

AND if i export, they are yellow as in the library.

It doen't matter how i develop them, the export is also different than te view in develop.

A friend of mine tested is on the laptop they have with lightroom 5.4 (realy old) and there evertything was fine. Just like it always was at my pc. Untill today

I have a PC with windows 11
Use Adobe Lightroom Clasic CC 2020 
I Hope anyone can help me.

First of all, try to disable the GPU in Edit > Preferences > Performance. (set Use graphics processor to Off)

If this fixes the issue, make sure that your graphics driver is up to date. Do not rely on Windows for updating the driver, go to the manufacturer's website and download and install the latest driver.

 

If you already have the latest version, or updating doesn't help, you most likely have a defective monitor profile.

As troubleshooting, and as a possible temporary fix, try setting the monitor profile to sRGB (use Adobe RGB if you have a wide gamut monitor)

If this fixes the issue, you should ideally calibrate your monitor with a hardware calibrator.

This will also create and install a custom monitor profile, which will be more accurate than sRGB.

 

With Lightroom closed, press the Windows key + R, type colorcpl in the box and press Enter.

Add the sRGB profile, then set it as default.

Do not touch the All Profiles or Advanced tabs, all you need is the Devices tab.

Hi, 
Thank you!


The GPU fixes a part of the problem. Yes they look the same in library as in develop as in export. But is still not the color they supposed to be (show on camera or old windows7 notebook, or windows preview)

All the pictures (also older ones) are way more yellow and pink. Also when i try to adjust the white balance with the pipet the turn more yellow instead of less yellow. And not how the pictures are supposed to look how i took them. And it is not a slight difference, i know that it can be a litte off, but this extreme i have never seen.

And the pc wont show the screen at color management. I'm trying to identify screen but nothing apears. 

Thankyou
