LrC 13.0 and 13.0.1

Windows 11

I have an HDR monitor but don't know whether that make a difference.

I first noticed this in LrC 13.0 (but maybe I haven't been paying attention), and it continues in 13.0.1.

    I'm experiencing an issue in that images look normal within Lightroom - but once exported as a TIFF or JPEG - and uploaded to flickr or opened on the desktop - both colour and luminosity has changed. Very annoying.

      There are all manner of common color space issues that can cause that. Are you exporting in sRGB? Are you opening them in a color managed viewer? Does opening the image in Photoshop or reimporting it to Lightroom have the correct colors?

        I have also noticed that library/loupe photos seem to have colors slightly off (I noticed it as purplish skies). I'm also on Windows 11 and using an HDR monitor. It's definitely new in 13.x. Develop and exported photos are still fine, which is where perfect color really matters, so it's not a huge deal most of the time. I believe everything except for develop mode view and exports uses a cached preview, so perhaps something is wrong with the creation or display of those previews?
