Colors between before and after edit look different even if I dont edit at all

[RaphaelLinus]

Hello everyone,

big trouble: when I import pictures they look good at first, the whitebalance is fine. as soon as i go to my edit panel in Lightroom CC the colors of my (not yet edited) picture switch dramatically, its mostly the white balance that goes wild. Any ideas what is happening? I'd love to start my edit on the picture here on the left, instead of having to make corrections first. Especially with many pictures in the queue.

(You might hate the whitebalance on the left compared to the right hand side, I understand, but thats only for the visualisation. On any screen, and also in-cam, it shows me the left side colors.)

Appreciate any answers! 

Raphael

Check the setings of your camera if you use any picture styles. Lightroom doesn't regonize such styles.

I think the left windows shows the embedded jpeg which contains in the RAW. Thats use Lightroom for the first view. If you change to the develop module LR generate a 1:1 preview from the original raw file.

thanks for your answer! I did not use any picture styles and both sides of the screen are from the raw image

First of all, you want to calibrate your display to ensure your colors are accurate.

Second, Library and Develop use different color spaces, and Develop is showing you the rendered RAW file rather than the preview which is initially used. There may be a camera picture style or settings (those are only used with the JPEG preview), and Lightroom can use its own presets that are applied automatically to the RAW file.

thanks a lot. My screens are all properly calibrated. Also calibration would explain colormismatch between two different screens, but not within the same screen (as shown in my screenshot above), right? I did not use any presets in the camera.

Please post your system info like I requested above.

This could well be an issue with the GPU or the monitor profile.

What calibrator do you use?

this is my calibration tool for most screens. except for my EVE spectrum which is factory calibrated

Several requests:

1. Can you retake that screenshot, but with the History Panel expanded and visible. From the Basic Panel it appears at least two edits have occurred, the Profile, and the WB.

2. Can you share a screenshot of your LrC Import Screen.  Curious about any presets called for during import.

3. Can you share a screenshot of LrC /Preferences/Presets. Curious about RAW Defaults

[RaphaelLinus]

1. 

2. 

3. I didnt understand what presets to look for, can you elaborate?

thanks a lot for your help, I really appreciate it!

regarding 1): no edits were made, whitebalance is "like original"

[Per Berntsen]

Your GPU driver is out of date.

The latest version is 560.81, you have 551.61.

Make sure to install the Studio driver, not the Game ready driver. Studio drivers are more thoroughly tested than Game ready drivers, and have fewer bugs.

Do a clean install, and do not install Geforce Experience.

Also, your GPU was released in 2016, and may be getting a bit old for the latest versions of LrC.

Let us know if updating the driver makes any difference.

I am getting same problem. The white balance has a drastic difference in both side. I updated the GPU driver but the problem remains same.

The before/after view uses Develop previews, so I don't think this has anything to do with Picture styles or other camera settings.

It can be caused by a buggy GPU driver, a defective or incompatible monitor profile, or even a combination of the two.

Is this Classic or Desktop? I'm not even sure which app the OP has.

[Per Berntsen]

This is Lightroom Classic.

[RaphaelLinus]

Yes, fully updated LR classic on win10
