Correct answer TheDigitalDog

Here is DNG file: Dropbox - A__05471.DNG

in this series of photos, I noticed it in three photos, where there was a great postproces in the shadows, ...

So I see the same issue as you do, there's something wrong with the DNG. Did you convert from a proprietary raw and might you have that original?

When I toggle between Library and Develop, I see it update. I've tried reconverting the DNG (no good) and I opened it in ACR and see the same initial rendering as shown in Library (Darker). Save Metadata and Preview command in LR doesn't do anything either.

So it sounds like this isn't happening with all files, just a few of these DNGs? We need to know more about how they were created.

Next, I suspect it's some metadata edit issue. IF I go into LR and in Develop select Rest Settings, your edits disappear and when I move from Library to Develop and back again, the image does NOT change.

Try this: Go into Develop. Double click to zero out Highlights slider ALONE. Toggle back to Library. The differences now are very small as expected. So it's one (Highlight?) adjustment or more that's causing this. Why I'm not sure. But you've really done a huge amount of edits on the image in Develop and for some reason, toggling back to Library isn't updating all of them or maybe just one (Highlights?).

I feel the same problem, if I turn off "Use graphic processer" it's solved the problem. But it slow down.

If turning OFF the GPU works, it's a GPU bug, and you need to contact the manufacturer or find out if there's an updated driver for it. This is why disabling GPU is an option as more and more functionality moves to the GPU in newer versions of many Adobe products.

I am having this issue as well. I see that turning off the GPU fixes the issue in terms of my images looking the same in develop as library, but the images look really bad. The shadow areas are flat and blotchy. They look horrible. My computer also runs much slower. This is not a workable fix.

Please find a proper solution.

I was having an issue like this. It had absolutely NOTHING to do with profiles. For me it was the quick develop preset got set to "custom" somehow. When I set it back to "default" it started matching again. Only posting becuase other people coud be reading this thread looking for other possible causes. A mismatch between quick develop setting in Library module, and the color profile in Develope module could definitely cause differences.

I sent the better part of an hour with an Adobe tech the other day. Nothing seemed to work until she suggested that I create a new catalog. I then imported on folder of images and the problem disapeared (in the new catalog). Now all I have to do is find an efficent way of reimporting the contents of my original catalog into the new one.

Hello!

I need some help please, as I can't find a solution to this problem.

Already tried to open a new catalog but did nothing to solve the problem. Also quitted and reopened...nothing.

The issue started out of nowhere and the images appear way less saturated in develop than in library.

Above is stated that we can toggle off the option "Use graphics Processor" but can't even find suce option after several minutes of searching for it. Also, can't find "quick develop preset" anywhere.

Anyone available to help please? I'm kinda new to Lightroom and this is driving me insane as it's impossible to work this way.

Thank you so much in advance.

Just to clarify the above darker Library screenshot is what I see in both the Library and Develop modules. The brighter Develop module screenshot is the one that's actually incorrect! Exported files also look like the Library module screenshot and the same as my Library module and Develop module rendering.

I just had this same problem. I have been printing and calibrated my monitor to get the colors correct so that the prints would match the display. Then in Lightroom I was editing and seeing the image much more saturated than in the Library view. When I export the image matches what is in Lirbary. Also it was a pain to have to keep editing in Develop and then checking in Lirbary to get the image the way I wanted.

I found it is caused by the 'Use Graphics Processor' , if I unclick this, then the Library image matches the Develop image. This looks like it is a bug in Lightroom. Lightroom should use the Active Display Color Profile when it uses the Graphics Processor. Unchecking the graphics processor may make performance worse when editing.

the same here :(.

when I turn on Use Graphic Processor, the colors in Develop are more saturated...

update: when I turn the color profile to Adobe RGB, the colors are the same in develop and library no matter the GPU is turned on or off... but when I switch profile to my color calibration, the develop is more saturated.

Question: ONLY this one file or ALL files?

You must compare at 1:1 view, which maps exactly one image pixel to exactly one screen pixel.

Screen resampling algorithms are different between the two modules. Image noise and so on can respond differently to resampling.

Resampling, and color space, and file type.

So yeah, it's not unexpected to see differences.

The other possible factors:

1. Check GPU settings (on or off) and try a different setting. This is found in preferences.

2. It could be a faulty ICC display profile. Recalibrate and build a new one.

3. It could be how the profile was built. Set your software to build Version 2 (V2) not V4 profiles.

4. It could be the type of profile built. Try Matrix instead of LUT based profile. Again, that's a setting in whatever software you use to calibrate and profile the display.

I have exactly the same feelings as you write. it appears with some specific adjustments. Same result is even with raw. Here is the link to raw: Dropbox - A__05471_02.ARW

when I copy the settings from the previous one is the result same.

Hi tmaly.cz,

Sorry that you're the image in the Develop and the Library module is not matching in Lightroom Classic CC.

Before we start troubleshooting it, I'd recommend that you please take a look at this discussion Develop module & library module aren't matching and let us know if that helps.

Thanks,

Akash
