Question

When I use exposure slider the whole image becomes black while sliding

When I use exposure slider the whole image becomes black while sliding. So the slider works, if I move it to the left image is less exposed, if I move it to the right it’s more exposed. But WHILE sliding I cannot see real-time changes as the whole image turns fully black. I am professional photographer so I use lightroom every day, I tried to reopen, restart etc. but nothing helped. I noticed the problem 2-3 days ago and it’s pretty annoying. It doesn’t happen with other sliders though, just exposure.

    If you can provide some more information (Lightroom Version, Hardware Details, File Type) then hopefully a member of the community may be able to help you further.

     

    Also, a short video could prove valuable.

    Hi ​@abhayn53607519 , we’re sorry that you’re experiencing the same behavior. 

    Could you also share the information Selondon asked for in the message above? 

    If you’re on Windows, try disabling the option to Use graphics processor by going to Preferences, then Performance. Once done, relaunch the app and let us know if it makes a difference. 

     

    Thanks,

    Nikunj
