Photo not displaying correctly in develop mode

I've got a new HDR monitor, but I am not using HDR images or editing in HDR mode. When I open images to develope mode they appear washed out and over exposed. The histogram and thumbnail do not correlate to the washed out appearance. If I open the same images in PS or ON1 they appear as normal, so it is only LR that is showing the images incorrectly.

 

System, hardware and software all up todate. 

 

Any ideas? Thanks.

Is HDR (Windows HD color) enabled in Windows display settings?

If so, try to disable it.

Turning off Windows HR colour stops the washed out out appearance, but make the photo look over saturated. Turning offf the grahics processor (preferances) also changes the image. Now I can't trust what I am seeing in LR. Odd that images appear OK in PS and ON1.

The monitor is an ASUS ProArt. I don't get the problem when connected via my laptop, so maybe it is time to change the GPU in my PC (?)

I'm not familiar with AMD graphics cards, but the R9 200 seems to be quite old, and the latest driver (which you have) is more than a year old. Your issue may, or may not be caused by the GPU, but it could also be caused by a defective monitor profile.

I can give you instructions on how to troubleshoot a defective monitor profile, but first please tell me the exact ASUS ProArt model that you have. There are loads of them.

 

Asus, as well as other monitor manufacturers, are known to make low quality monitor profiles that are installed via Windows updates. These profiles are often defective out of the box, and LrC is particularly picky about the profile.

Thank you. Your monitor seems to be somewhere between standard and wide gamut, so I'm not sure if you should set the  monitor profile to sRGB or Adobe RGB, but try sRGB first. If colors look wrong in LrC, try Adobe RGB.

 

Close all color managed applications, like LrC and Photoshop.

Press the Windows key + R, type colorcpl in the box and press Enter.

Add the sRGB (or Adobe RGB) profile, then set it as default.

If this fixes the issue, you should ideally calibrate your monitor with a hardware calibrator.

This will also create and install a custom monitor profile that will be more accurate than sRGB or Adobe RGB.

I got the impression that the problem started with your new monitor. 

If so, setting the monitor profile to sRGB should fix the issue.

Did you change the monitor wiht LrC closed? If you didn't, it needs to be restarted to become aware of the new profile.

I just installed the ASUS WHQL driver for the monitor and it did not solve it. I'll get a new GPU and see if that sorts it out. Thanks for your help.

If it is a bad monitor profile, this is just the problem. This is where the bad profile gets installed (and later updated/reinstalled through Windows Update).

 

You don't need a monitor driver! Monitors are "plug and play", no driver required. This install is just an .inf file that makes the model name visible - and a monitor profile from Asus.
