LR 2.5 strange lines on highlights...

Hello, LR has just updated itself at the last version, 2.5.

I immediately noticed this strange thing (see attached images) on the library module preview, but I felt reassured when I switched to develop module and the lines disappeared.

I exported the raw images and, once opened in photoshop, I saw again the lines!

Anyone has already noticed something like this in the new version?

I'm on a mac with Leopard.

Now I have to finish my job using camera raw (not the 5.5 yet, fortunately)... I hope, if this is a bug, they could fix it soon. Meanwhile I accept suggestion on how to turn back to 2.4.

    Mary, can you please post the raw file, so that I can examine it. You can use YouSendIt.com with a target email address of madmanchan2000@yahoo.com.

    Could this just be showing the clipped highlights? Go to Develop, show the Histogram, and see if a square shows up it upper right of the Histogram. If it does, click on it, and the lines will go away.

    However, Mary also says that she sees the lines when the final exported images are brought into PS. That suggests to me that it is not merely a highlight warning issue. The highlight warnings should not be applied to the exported images.

    Hi, I'm new to the forum.

    I've had a similar problem with Raw images from my Leica D-Lux 3. I'm getting a purple fringe around highlights as soon as I make the slightest adjustment in ACR 5.5. This is not a highlight clipping warning nor any kind of fringing that can be defringed using the fringing correction in Chromatic Aberration in ACR. No problems with NEF files from my Nikon.


    I'm on a Mac running OS 10.5.8 on a G5 tower.

    I also tried converting the RAW files to DNG files with and without the original file embedded, but the DNG opens in ACR5.5 with the same problem.

    My work around was to swap out the ACR5.5 plug in with the ACR5.4 plug in, but this doesn't seem like a workable solution in the long term (i.e. what happens when I get a camera that isn't included in ACR5.4. The fringe disappeared when I opened any D-Lux 3 RAW   image again in ACR5.4.

    I also had the same problem when using the stand alone version of DNG Converter. Version DNG conv  5.5.0.97 acted the same way,  DNG conv version 5.4.0.57 eliminated the problem.

    I'm hoping that this problem will be corrected in future updates of ACR. What would, of course, make it all better would be for camera manufacturer's to use  DNG format rather than the multitude of proprietary formats.

    I'm attaching two jpg images that I converted from PSDs showing the problem.

    Thanks for your help.


    The public beta of LR 2.6 should fix this.
