Zoom limited after developing picture

Question

Hello !

First, sorry for my bad english, I hope my question will be clear.

Recently, I tried to work my picture remotely from my NAS, and move my LrC Catalog to SSD external drive. From my desktop computer, linked to the NAS, I generate "Smart Preview" and "1:1" previews for all picture in my catalog.

Today, I work on this catalog, on my laptop, without access to my NAS. I figured out that picture not edited may be more zoomed than newly edited.

For example :

This picture is not edited yet from my laptop. 100% zoom can be deep

The picture below is developed from my laptop, and 100% zoom is reduced

Picture has been taken in same condition with the same camera.

Do you have an idea why this behavior occurs ? This is a configuration mistake or picture generation from my side ?

Thank in advance for you help 🙂

Best regards,

Benjamin.

If you have a 1:1 preview, and the image has not been edited so that preview is still up-to-date, then you can zoom in to 100% using that 1:1 preview. The original image does not have to be online for that. If your image has been edited however, then the 1:1 preview is not up-to-date anymore, so it needs to be rebuilt (rebuilding 1:1 previews does not happen automatically when you edit). However, if Lightroom only has a smart preview to work from because the original is offline, then it can only build a preview the size of that smart preview (2560 pixels at the longest side).
