Question

Develop preview extremely poor from recent imports. Looks better in Library mode

Using LR 11.4 Camera Raw 14.4

I have a few photos where in the develop module they look extremely low quality. I typically import with 1:1 previews enabled. I've tried deleting the preview to no avail. I still have the photos on my SD card so I may try to reimport.

Lightroom and display drivers are up to date

Using

RTX 3070 Ti

AMD Ryzen 5 5800X

First, the preview architecture in Develop is unique to all other modules and the most accurate preview of the data. You should always view previews there and elsewhere at 1:1 or greater and when comparing, use the same zoom for each. 

It is normal to see slight differences at 1:1 but if really excessive, the first thing to try is to disable GPU in preferences; better? If not, you might have a corrupted display profile. Recalibrate the display or whatever you usually do to create a display profile. When given the option to build this profile, pick Version 2 (not V4) and Matrix not LUT.

I reimported the photos to the same effect, the preview looks bad with zero edits applied. Older photos on my catalogs still look 100% correct and fine. Right click > edit in Photoshop the photo looks fine.

 

Not sure what to make of it or what else I can try. This is using a raw photo from my sony a6600.
