OpenGL Failure in Lightroom CC

Nothing works and you and AMD have done squat. Way to go, Adobe. Puke.

[larrysphotocasa]

Still no help.

[larrysphotocasa]

And still no help from Adobe or AMD on this issue except to do what some people, for whatever reason, have done and that is to back-track to an edition of AMD that is over a year old. If that is what you want, truck on. But some of us want to know why you guys knocked out a version of LR that doesn’t work as advertised. Law suit?

Off you go then - I could do with a laugh.

Fact: sometimes software interdependencies catch developers out.

[andrew_d2]

‌The older driver works, the newer driver is broken. AMD break stuff in their drivers a lot. Rolling back drivers in the AMD gaming world is common place.

What is the newer driver doing for you that the old one will not?

I tried a HD4890 on another machine, expensive card. AMD stopped the driver development for it at 13.9.

Can't blame Adobe for that.

Andrew

[larrysphotocasa]

I have tried rolling back the driver and cleaning with Driver Sweeper.  No luck.  Contacted Adobe and AMD, no luck.  Law suit was meant for a laugh.  Good that you have a sense of humor, Keith.  Keep with it.

[mark-FOTO]

Eric,

Appreciate the response.

Any additional information will be helpful.

Even if Adobe could have tiered recommendations for video cards.

min:

mid level performance:

top performance:

or what kind of hardware thresholds determine a go/no go on the hardware usage.

-Mark

[Bart Luyckx]

Same here. And since nvidia cards are not well represented, and since I bought mine a couple of days ago, SPECIFICALLY FOR THE REASON OF ACCELERATION IN LR CC, I 'll add my log.

The card works like a dream and passed all other tests in all other programs. It even runs at pci-e 3.0 on an IB-E chipset.

And, before you ask: I don't have 2 graphics cards. I uninstalled my old one, but somehow it still shows up in the LR log below. It doesn't even show up in device settings with hidden devices enabled.

I am quite happy with the new version, except for the shoddy implementation of the GPU acceleration and the fact that it doesn't even work outside the develop module.

‌after uninstalling everything again I finally got it working with the Intel 4000 card. Then I went to my configurable switchable graphics card properties and RETOLD it to use the high performance setting when using Lightroom. This time it reopened and was using the AMD 7600 finally! Albeit with old driver (14.4 install says 14.1)

[andrew_d2]

Now something else, I don't know whether this is a general GPU bug or if is just an AMD 14.4 driver bug.

ACR 9, HD6770, GPU acceleration working:
The colour clipping warning overlay (e.g. ALT drag the exposure slider) does NOT show the same clipping with GPU enabled as without.

I can push the exposure way higher with GPU enabled before any clipping is indicated. Perhaps it is showing the prophotoRGB clipping level, rather than the sRGB clipping I have it set to show.

Andrew

[Todd Shaner]

From your description it sounds like you are in Soft Proof mode. There is an issue in LR CC and probably LR 6 concerning the RGB sample readings at the bottom of the Histogram when in Soft Proof mode:

Lightroom CC Soft Proof Histogram Displays Incorrect RGB Values

Unfortunately, I can't confirm the large Exposure clipping warning difference with GPU enabled and then disabled. I'm seeing ~0.05 EV difference on Windows 7, Nvidia Quadro 600 GPU with latest driver, and LR CC 2015. Please provide the System OS, image file type, LR module you are in, and any settings used that causes the difference.

[andrew_d2]

‌Sorry, not even tried it in lightroom. Just pure ACR 9 on windows 7 not behaving consistently wrt clipping warns with and with GPU enabled. If it is an AMD bug ill buy an nvidia card, could do with an nvidia user testing it.

Andrew

[Todd Shaner]

I get identical Highlight clipping levels indication in ACR 9.0 with Graphics Processor checked or unchecked. (Windows 7 64 bit, Nvidia Quadro 600 GPU with latest driver)

There's a similar issue with PS CS6 and PS CC2014 Soft Proof when PS Preferences for Performance> Advanced Settings Drawing mode is set to Normal or Advanced. If you soft proof an Adobe RGB image with Adobe RGB Proof Setup there is a difference in the soft proof image. When set to Basic or None the Soft Proof is correct in both PS CS6 and PC CC2014.

LR CC & 6 has an even worse soft proof issue not related to the GPU usage. Read from reply #4 through reply #20 here:

Re: Wrong RGB values when soft proofing

[andrew_d2]

Do you have ACR set to sRGB in the workflow options?
The GPUs intepretation of clipping is worthless. For now I'll eyeball everything with GPU enabled for speed for proofs and switch it off for finals edits.

That only sets output file's color space not what you see inside the ACR app.

Like I said, "I get identical Highlight clipping levels indication in ACR 9.0 with Graphics Processor checked or unchecked. (Windows 7 64 bit, Nvidia Quadro 600 GPU with latest driver)" However, I can't speak for other AMD GPU users. I suggest searching and posting this issue in the Camera Raw forum here: Adobe Camera Raw

[andrew_d2]

I can see what you said but unless I know what your workflow options are I'm afraid it is of no help.

I want to know if people see a difference when the workflow option is set to sRGB. Yours could be set to prophoto for all I know.

Maybe someone else can try it.

I see the exact same highlight clipping levels when ACR is set to sRGB with the GPU ON or OFF as with ProPhoto RGB color space.

Isn't this a bit off topic in this thread?

[taral72063086]

For those with AMD/ATI Radeon HD cards on Windows here's the process that worked for me. I installed the 14.1 drivers from April-2014 and got the OpenGL to pass.

1. Uninstall all your AMD drivers using Windows Add/Remove. For a further purge, Google the "AMD Catalyst Clean Uninstall Utility 1.4.0.0" and run that after you uninstall. That wipes any old AMD/ATI files/folders from your system that the uninstall left behind.

2. Download and install the 14.1 drivers (Dated 4/25/14) from the AMD site. On the right of your driver download link you'll see a shortcut in orange for "Download Previous Drivers and Software".

If you are doing step 2 without step 1, even though it looks like you are installing previous drivers, the installer actually keeps your newer drivers.

Look for your "Core Profile Context" in the System Info box in Lightroom. If it says 14.100.x, that is the version that finally worked for me. If it reads 14.502.x, then you still have the newer drivers installed and those did not work for me.

Did you try taral72063086's post above #240 (worked for me)

[warrench]

Hi all,

I'm going to replace my AMD HD7570 OEM card - partly due to Lightroom issues.

Don't know much about gfx cards these days, so can anyone recommend a card please?

I'm JUST looking for performance in LR and PS (I don't play games).

This looks cheap - any good?

Asus AMD Radeon R7 240 2GB DDR3 Graphics Card (PCI Express 3.0, HDMI, DVI-D, 128 Bit, Dust-Proof Fan...

Any advantage in going for a 4GB card for LR/PS?

Any help appreciated. Thanks.
