If I turned it on, it was a mistake.

Where do I turn it off?

macOS

If you sure you're in Lightroom (Classic)? I'don't ever see such in Lightroom.

Which application do you really use?

In Photoshop make sure that the underlying layers are visible and not hidden.

My System: Intel i7-8700K - 64GB RAM - NVidia Geforce RTX 3060 - Windows 11 Pro 25H2 -- LR-Classic 15 - Photoshop 27 - Nik Collection 8 - PureRAW 5 - Topaz Photo

Lightroom Classic shows this now too. Try the Transform panel, then activate the crop tool to remove the parts outside the image edge.

P.S. I haven't tried it and I'm typing this on my iPad, but I assume that if you import a PNG image with transparency into Lightroom Classic, then you will see what the OP shows in his screenshot. https://www.lightroomqueen.com/whats-new-in-lightroom-2025-04/

AFAIK, you cannot turn this off. This is a change in the latest version of Lightroom Classic, to bring it inline with other apps like Photoshop, that all show transparency as this checkerboard.
