Hi all,
Just build a pc with new Nvidia GTX4060 Ti card, mainly for photo/video editing.
Unfoirtunatley, using Adobe Lightroom with GPU acceleration shifts colors in develope module. When I disable GPU, colors look normal. I do want to have accaleration ON as the lightroom is quite faster. Anyone had similar issue? Graphics drivers are up to date.
I was playing with some monitor color profiles but that has not changed anything.
I heard Nvidia cards are better supported with Adobe products but now I am not entierly convinced...
Please help.
Thanks!
Next troubleshooting steps to narrow down the issue:
1. Compare Develop with Library Loupe view at 100% (View > Loupe, then View > Zoom To 100%). Do you still see the shift?
2. Follow these precise steps for testing whether the current color profile assigned to your display is incompatible with the GPU:

Please post your System Information as Lightroom Classic (LrC) reports it. In LrC click on Help, then System Info, then Copy. Paste that information into a reply. Please present all information from first line down to and including Plug-in Info. Info after Plug-in info can be cut out as that is just so much dead space to us non-Techs and it takes up vast amounts of scroll space making the reply less readable and less likely that others will bother with your post.

Are you perhaps using the HDR (display) treatment option as opposed to standard?

Color shift present in both options.

Thank you for your help! it was the monitor default color profile affecting library view colors. Setting sRGB IE61966-2.1 default profile elimanted color shift betwen modes and with GPU accelaration ON/OFF.
I am going to use default sRGB profile for now but will be looking to get spyderx for calibration. Thanks again!!!!

Additionally inquiry
Is your monitor calibration up to date?
and:
Ok, I missed this part in your post:
"I was playing with some monitor color profiles but that has not changed anything. "
Are you using dual monitors? And is the color shift occurring on the 2nd monitor? Is that monitor calibrated?

Thank you for your help. This is the system info from Lightroom. I cannot see anything unusual from it. I have been in contact with Nvidia, they suggested some diffrent drivers. Unfortunetly no luck so far.
Color profiles was mentioned by few people, so will order datacolor spyderx pro to get fresh calibration. If that does not help I will be running out of solutions.
Possibly, will look into trying different GPU/monitor (I am not using dual monitors yet so have no comparison).
Thanks!

It was caused by corrupted monitor profile, thanks for directing me into the solutions!

Hi das eles,
Did you solve the problem?
I have the same one. My GPU is Radeon RX7800XT and once I disable GPU acceleration in LR, there is no difference anymore between develop and library modules. I thought the problem was in GPU, but since you have a different one, this is not it.
I have a Dell U2723QE display, which supposedly is factory-calibrated to high standards. I am using Win11, and have the latest update of the LR. The display is set to sRGB color profile. Any ideas?

Update your graphics driver with AMD's latest version:
If that doesn't help, please copy/paste here the entire contents of the LR menu command Help > System Info -- that will let us see exactly which versions of hardware and software LR thinks you're running.

You've tried the two troubleshooting steps, updating your graphics driver and temporarily setting the display profile to sRGB.
In both Library and Develop, zoom to 100%. Do you still see a difference in color?
Copy link to clipboard
Copied
Yes. I also reset the color profiles to the default in the Color Management app of Windows. This reduced the difference between the develop and library, but it is still present. I am attaching a sample of 100% zoom, left library, right develop. I also attached a sample from before I reset the color profiles. But the difference between the two samples is also due to some editing in between (not to compare that). I just wanted to show that before resetting to defaults, in develop mode there was a greenish, cyan tint to the image. After resetting to defaults, now it is more of a higher saturation and warmth in develop mode.

The color difference is most likely caused by a defective monitor profile.
Windows is known to install profiles from monitor manufacturers when doing updates, and these profiles are very often low quality, or even defective. Dell is notorious for this.
According to Dell, your monitor has a color gamut that covers 98% of the DCI-P3 color space, so try using that as a monitor profile. (see screenshot below, replace sRGB with DCI-P3) Before doing this, you should probably reset your monitor to factory defaults. Also close LrC and any other color managed software before changing the profile.
If this fixes the issue, the real solution is to calibrate the monitor with a hardware calibrator. This will also create and install a custom monitor profile that will be more accurate than DCI-P3.
In the future, please do not attach screenshots, use the Insert photos button in the toolbar to embed them in your posts.

Ok, I will insert photos in the future.
Would ordering this help me? https://www.datacolor.com/spyder/products/spyder-x-pro/
Because if I reset to factory settings, the colors are supersaturated. If the screen is connected to a MacBook, it is not like this (I would even say that it is undersaturated). Only when I select sRGB on Windows (or a specific color profile on Mac - I forgot which one), do colors look more natural to my eye (and similar between the two systems, and the external MacBook screen). Also if I select DCI-P3 profile on Windows, the colors are supersaturated.
I think that ordering a calibration tool will help me create an accurate color profile and solve this problem. Would you advise this approach?

"Only when I select sRGB on Windows (or a specific color profile on Mac - I forgot which one), do colors look more natural to my eye (and similar between the two systems, and the external MacBook screen). "
Just to verify unambiguously before proceeding, when you set the display profile to sRGB on your Windows system, does the difference between Library and Develop disappear? (Your previous responses were ambiguous to me.)

Copied
I apologize. The difference between the development and library persists. The only occasion that it disappears is when I disable GPU acceleration.
Copy link to clipboard
Copied
So to summarize: With the display profile set to sRGB and zooming at 100%, there is no color shift with the GPU disabled but there is with it enabled.
This indicates the issue is with the GPU (or LR's use of it), not the display profile. Buying a color calibrator won't address that (though it's always good to calibrate your displays).
"DirectX: AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT (32.0.11021.1011)"
The 7800 XT was just released last year, and you've got the latest driver. Another thing to check:
Recent versions of the AMD Adrenalin utility have a nasty habit of assigning non-default "optimizations" to LR that have tripped up others. In the utility, remove any profiles or overrides assigned to LR. (Sorry I can't be specific, I don't think anyone has posted a precise step-by-step).
Copy link to clipboard
Copied
Now I have tried something new. I disabled RX 7800 XT GPU and used iGPU on CPU (Ryzen 7600). And the same thing - the difference between develop and library module in LR persists.
I tried to find something that would help in the Adrenaline software, but I did not. I have it at the default setting for LR (so no optimizations I think).
But depending on the color profiles selected in the Windows Color Management app, the hue/contrast/saturation changes in LR (between the develop and library modules) differ. Sometimes it's more of a green tint, and sometimes more of a warm/higher contrast).
The fact that iGPU (from AMD as well) has the same problem, could be communication between LR and Adrenaline software. Any idea?

Try disabling the integrated GPU and leave the RX 7800 XT enabled. Adobe recommends having just one GPU enabled; see step 5 of solution 4:

Sadly it does not help. I will now wait for the calibration tool. Maybe it will help, but probably not. If not, then I will consider exchanging my GPU for another one. Any recommendations? I bought 7800XT based on youtube recommendation as a good card for photoshop and lightroom, while also being a good value for gaming.
Or maybe I just have to wait for specific updates that would fix this.
I appreciate all of your support. I hope I can make it work.

Hello,
I noticed that color shifts between library and develop modules in Lightroom. When I open the image from LR in Photoshop, it also looks different than a develop module (same as a library). In PS, when I use cameraRAW, it seems like developer module (so again different than native PS).
When I disable GPU acceleration in LR, this goes away. My GPU is Radeon RX7800XT. I thought the problem was in GPU, but since the person in this post had the same problem, but a different GPU. I don't think it is the GPU. Post: https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/color-shift-when-gpu-acceleration-is-on...
I have a Dell U2723QE display, which supposedly is factory-calibrated to high standards. I am using Win11, and have the latest update of the LR. The display is set to sRGB color profile. Any ideas?
I read that a supposedly corrupted color profile could be responsible. But I do not see how, since with the same color profile there is a color shift or not, depending on the activation of GPU acceleration.
