Lightroom turning all my pictures purple?

[Undertow101]

Any idea on why this is happening?

[kentdesign]

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)

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.

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

Tried this...no lick

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.

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

[Undertow101]

I agree with you. 

Thank you for making me not feel crazy 🙂

It's either a corrupt image, bad display profile or GPU issue as outlined earlier.

this still looks like it might be something in the camera itself. Since the other photos are normal colored, it would seem the problem is with the camera at the time that photo was shot, or else, some glitch on import!

Yep, this is almost invariably a consequence of a hardware failure somewhere in the workflow.
