Question

Static darker blocks show on Lightroom imported raw photos and on jpeg exports

I use Macbook Pro M2.  Some of my RAW images show large static darker blocks in random places, and is also visible when exporting the files to jpeg. Only in Lightroom, as when I edit images in Photoshop, images are handled correctly with no blocks. 

I can not use Lightroom and export images that looks like that. I use Lightroom only, most of the time to edit my images.

    I use Macbook Pro M2 Ventura 13.4.1.  Lightroom 12.4 release (latest update). Some of my RAW images show large static darker blocks in random places, and is also visible when exporting the files to jpeg. Only in Lightroom, as when I edit images in Photoshop, images are handled correctly with no blocks.

    First troubleshooting steps:

     

    1. Set Preferences > Performance > Use Graphics Processor to Off. Does the problem go away.

     

    2. Select a problem raw and do Metadata > Save Metadata To File. Upload the raw and its .xmp sidecar to Dropbox, Google Drive, or similar and post the sharing link here. We can see if the issue occurs on other installations.
