Lightroom Classic black & white presets not working after the last couple of updates

Hello,

since I updated my Lightroom Classic to the newest version this spring there have been several issues. However, the most challenging has been that the black & white presets are not working correctly, but changing the tones of the subjects (people) to a bit lilac, light blue or strange beige. I was left with one functioning preset. This problem disappeared for a while last month, but now it's back and I have a few pictures where none of my b&w presets are working anymore. I was able to get a few with normal tones. What could be the reason, and how can I fix this?

Kind regards,

Johanna

"To add, also the background can turn into a beige tone"

Can you post screen-clips that indicate what you see?

For this brief "beige" description you give, I strongly suggest a check of your monitor profile.

3) Check for problems with your Monitor screen Profile as detailed in this link- MONITOR sRGB PROFILE

Of course,

here you can see the beige background. Some of the pictures also turn lilac
or light blue.

I checked the monitor profile and it didn't help.

Kind regards,
Johanna

We don't see your screen-clips! (Full LrC window preferred.)

Insert them into your post by clicking on the 'Landscape' icon above the text window-

You "checked the monitor profile". Was that by setting the profile to sRGB and restarting the computer?

The GTX 1050 (depending on version) may not meet the requirements for AI functions to work fully. (but I do not have expertise on GPUs to offer more helpful advice.)

I would have a guess that you Graphics card may be causing the symptoms. Here are a couple of suggestions to try-

1) Turn 'off' the Graphics Processor use in the LrC Preferences > Performance.

2) Update your graphics drivers from the OEM. (Windows updates do not always get it right.)

3) Check for problems with your Monitor screen Profile as detailed in this link- MONITOR sRGB PROFILE

Hi,

I did the first two and got one AI-preset to work, the others still don't.
I would guess the issue has something to do with the AI-features, as the
problems started after the first AI-update. It's also strange that all the
B&W presets worked normally for a while, and suddenly none of them did.
This is really frustrating and needs to be solved, as I have clients
waiting for their big galleries and can't keep editing with one B&W preset
that I need to alter separately every time cause if I save it with
modifications, it won't work.

Kindly,
Johanna

Your GPU driver may be out off date or you haven't got sufficient VRAM. Please paste a copy of the first 30 or so lines from 'System Info'. You can obtain same from the LrC Help > System Info menu item as shown in attached screenshot.
