This problems only occurs in the Library panel, not in the Develop.

When I zoom in 100% on a picture (or any zoom larger than "Fill"), the image looses saturation. Please see attached pictures.

"Fit" zoom in Library panel, colors look correct.

100% zoom in Library panel, colors lost saturation.

100% zoom in Develop panel, colors look correct.

This is my system info:

"Two, the proposed conclusion from the Adobe rep that "it's just the different color spaces used in Library vs. Develop". That makes absolutely no sense."

Agreed. Rick is a nice guy and does a good job overall helping out in that forum, but in this case just wrong.

Yes, he is. Can't be easy to be on the receiving end. I didn't mean to get personal, I just tend to jump when I see something obviously wrong 🙂

Oh, OK, another one.

Two things stick out in that feedback thread: One, it's all Big Sur.

Two, the proposed conclusion from the Adobe rep that "it's just the different color spaces used in Library vs. Develop". That makes absolutely no sense. Different color spaces don't produce different general appearance! That's color management 101. And even if it was a gamut difference that did this (which it isn't), Library covers Adobe RGB. Who has a display that goes so far beyond Adobe RGB that you can see "more colors" in ProPhoto data?

Library = Adobe RGB vs. Develop = ProPhoto has no visual impact on screen. None whatsoever. If it does, there's a problem elsewhere.

So it's just another bug, seemingly affecting Big Sur only.

Could be a defective monitor profile, which can affect modules (or applications) differently. Are you using a calibrator? Which one?

But there's also a different issue we've been seeing a bit lately, where Lightroom (or ACR, or Bridge, or Photoshop) is using the wrong monitor profile in a dual display setup. The common factor seems to be laptop + external display. Could that be it?

I'll see if I can dig up some of the threads. A workaround to try is to make sure all applications are on the main display as seen by the OS.

This happens whether I use the stock ICC profile or my ICC profiles generated with X-Rite i1 Display Pro Plus. It happens on the MacBook display, as well as external display. It happens whether the external display is connected or not. It happens whether GPU acceleration is enabled or not. I couldn't find any workaround. Also, this never happened with previous versions of Lightroom.

I also want to point out that this bug exists in the Print panel as well, and it shows up when the option "Zoom to Fill" is selected.
