Question

Moire 'Blues'

LrC v12.01 Windows-11.  My 'Moire Brush' does a decent 95% job to correct a moire problem (Pin-stripe shirt with Flash-fill) in the Develop module, but the Library Grid and Loupe views continue to show the moire.

Any suggestions to see the brush correction in Library? Or other local adjustments to lessen moire?

 

Develop view- (Moire slider at 100)

And my Library view-

Changing the LrC UI window size affects the view, as does using other Zoom %,  but still annoying when trying to decide a selection of shots to supply to a client in Library view.

Thanks for suggestions!

FYI

Library FIT View - Variable with UI screen size.

Develop FIT View

 

Library 1:1

 

Develop 1:1

 

As suggested I agree always best to view 1:1 in the Develop module. And my trials suggest to Ignore moire in any Library view!

Thanks friends.

And happy that my images synced to the cloud view well for the Client! 🙂

My guess is that this was happening because the library jpeg preview was just a tad bigger than how it was displayed and the downscaling caused the moiré. If you were to look at the jpeg preview at its native size it probably would not really be visible. These moiré patterns can be very unexpected when they show up. Typically would depend on the scaling algorithm that is used.

As already outlined, you must view at 1:1 in Develop module to see moiré and accurate sharpness and noise. Zooming out subsamples the pixels in all modules and moiré can result visually. 

Previews in Develop are unique to all other modules in Lightroom Classic and the only way to accurately preview the data.

Is the moiré still there if you zoom to 100% in Library? And when you zoom  out to fit view after zooming in? This is probably due to the lower resolution of the jpeg previews used in Library when zoomed out and might be unavoidable.
