Question

Photos open from Lightroom with shadings in Photoshop

When applying the Edit in Photoshop command, my Lightroom Classic Sony ARW photos open in Photoshop with red shaded ares and blue shaded areas, as if the colored areas are indicated as too dark. But my photos are within the proper luminance range in Lightroom. I noticed that the Photoshop histogram has a triangle which provides the comment “Switch to histogram with uncached data.” Is that a clue? Do I have a setting wrong in Photoshop?

 

Also, don’t know if this matters, when I open a photo in the Microsoft Photos program, they too have similar shadings. But the shadings disappear after selecting the edit command.

 

I am using Lightroom Classic on a Windows 10 PC. All my software is up to date and my PC is sufficient for the Adobe programs

    I see that 4 people upvoted my post.  what does that mean?  No one has suggested the reason for the issue.  Might this be a Lightroom problem?  I just updated Lightroom, but no change in PS. Played with some image settings in PS.  Changes the nature of the colors, but screws up other colors, brightness, etc.  Is there another place I can go to get  some help?

    Update:  I saved the Lightroom photo as a TIFF file and opened it in PS.  The photo is now ok.  Could this be a problem with Lightroom, and not Photoshop?  I will repost  in the Lightroom community

      SOLVED!  I recalibrated my monitor, and for some reason the shadings stopped happening.
