Ive been looking into this as well. it seems that the new firmware update for the A7IV (which adds lossless compressed) is not yet supported by lightroom. I think its specifically Lossless compressed M(edium) . I think we will have to wait for an update to lightroom

So i wiped my PC, went to windows 10 (insted of 11) and i still have the same issue.

I think it might have to do with a firmware update to my camera Sony a7IV...but i am not sure.

You didn't check for corrupted files, as I explained earlier.

    To add, go into Preferences>preformance and disable GPU there; is the purple now gone?

    This is either a corrupted file, or a bad GPU driver. Try restoring a backup copy of this photo. If that doesn't help, re-install the GPU driver.

      I restored a couple of versions of the pictures with the same issue.

      Tried the GPU driver and a full restore of windows with no luck.

      When does this happen? And just so we know how to help - which version of Lightroom and which operating system are you using? This information will help one of us figure out your problem.

      This now happens on import (with standard previews)
