Defringe in lightroom classic only showing when i export the photo

Hi there!

 

I'm having trouble with the defringe slider in Lightroom Classic. The problem i'm having is as following: When I want to use the defringe slider to remove the purple/ green lines in my photo it won't update in real-time, which means I can't see anything change in the photo. I found a soltion for this and that is when I export the photo and open it in my gallery, the defringe finally shows up and I can see a difference. But in Lightroom Classic itself it stays the same with the purple/ green lines.

 

Is there any way to fix this problem so that I can see the defringe work in real-time? So that I don't have to export every photo and view it when I edit them.

 

Thanks for helping!

Are you viewing the images in Fit view? If so, view at 100% instead.

When examining sharpness, noise, chromatic aberration, moiré, and fine detail and image quality in general, always view the image at 100%. This is the only view that shows you an accurate representation of the image. Any other view will be inaccurate and misleading because the image has been scaled. At 100%, one image pixel is displayed using one screen pixel.

(if you have a 4k or higher monitor, use 200% because the pixels are so small that it's hard to see details without enlarging the image)
