- When I press \ or YY button to view the before and after changes in the develop module it shows the before with a colder white balance. This starts partway through editing my imports and even if I have not made any changes the before and after should be the same. Looking at the photo in the library you wouldn’t know that there was a problem, the photo is as expected.
- I edit my photos in the order they are in the folder. The initial edited photos have the correct before, then the problem occurs and the remaining edited/unedited photos with the WB problem. E.g. a folder of 114 images, numbers 84 to 114 affected.
- Also, if I edit a photo and then press \ and find that the white balance has changed and become cooler, if I then return to the after view, very occasionally, I have lost all of my edits, they have reset to 0. The history is still there so if I click on each change the settings are restored back.
- Flickering. Moving from one photo to another, not necessarily the next photo in the folder, when I press \ to get the beforeview, the screen flickers very quickly showing the last photo I used before on, then it shows the current one. This can happen anywhere in the folder not just the ‘corrupted’ before ones.
- Re-importing the photos doen't necessarily recreate the problem.

Hi,
Did you figure out how to fix this_
I have a similar issue, it\s just the opposite ay around. My "before's" look warmer, also with WB set to As Shot.
It drives me nuts!

Have you updated to Lightroom Classic 13.5 yet? And do you generate 'Embedded & sidecar' previews on import? If so, change this to 'Standard-sized previews' to see if that solves it.

Thank you, I will try this. I'm trying to find out how to replicate the issue, because it doesn't happen everytime I use Lightroom Classic.

Hi. I've still got the problem and it is intermittent. It happens when I import lots of photos. My original points are still valid. If I remember I import in several batches. If the 'before' temperature is incorrect and I want to compare before/after then I move my mouse down to the first entry in the History panel. I think that somehow the previews are getting corrupted. I agree with you it's a pain!! I've always kept my LR up to date and have just updated to 13.5, so will be interesting to see if the problem continues.

Ok.
Do you by any chance either use a Loupedeck or a Wacom tablet?
I hadn't noticed this issue before I got my Loupedeck, and in quick tests it doesn't happen when the Loupedeck and Wacom Intuos are not connected, but I haven't had a chance to test it thoroughly.

Hi
I did play around with a Loupdeck for a day last summer but not my cup of tea. Completely uninstalled.

Aha... I have a hunch that Loupedeck might have interrupted something in my system... I'll do some more tests.
