Question

So I am trying to use my own presets as well as some that are not mine. And roughly half of them seems to not be working properly. When applying the some of the presets, the images are turning all black. On right side, it seems that all settings are applayed properly. I have restarted LR and also tried this on different images. Always the same results 😕😕

If you disable GPU in preferences, any difference?

WOW... I was afk, for a few hours while waiting your answers. I left LR and everything else the way it was a few hours ago. Just now i've decided to restart LR for one last time and now the problem fixed itself... first time i'm experiencing something like this. What do you think had happend ?

This has happened to me three times now and I cannot remember how to fix this for the life of me. I am sitting here googling because the image is still black when I apply my preset.

Please post your System Information as Lightroom Classic (LrC) reports it. In LrC click on Help, then System Info, then Copy. Paste that information into a reply. Please present all information from first line down to and including Plug-in Info. Info after Plug-in info can be cut as that is just so much dead space to us non-Techs.
