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

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .

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

"the recipient's mailbox is full"- I have never seen this message. Is your screen-clip a JPG or PNG that you can 'insert' by a click on the 'landscape' icon? What if you try clipping a smaller area of the screen that shows the color cast with a B&W preset?

"how I could send it to you" Best you can 'Insert' or try the 'Attach' icon below your post window.

The Black&White Presets- Are they Adobe supplied or purchased, or created by you? Can you attach a preset file to a post for us to test?

Here is a screenshot, hopefully this one comes through. I've tried both
"Insert" and "Attach" options. The family doesn't want their child's
pictures posted anywhere, so after seeing this, please hide this message
from the view of others.

The presets, as previously mentioned, are created by me or bought from
Archipelago presets. I don't use LrC own, but when I tried converting a
picture into black & white with the function in LrC, the issue was the same.

Kind regards,
Johanna

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.
