I am currently using Lightroom 6.14 in Big Sur on my Mac. When I go into Develop mode a white box appears at the top of the screen cutting off the top of the photo. I checked in Preferences>Performance and the Graphics Processor is unchecked. Is it possible to get rid of the box?

Press the I key on the keyboard once or twice to make it go away.

This text should have a transparent background, but it becomes white on Big Sur.

Also note that if you uninstall LR 6, you won't be able to reinstall it, since the installer is 32-bit. Installers have to be 64-bit on Big Sur.

Not Per but that bug is definitely not present in LR 10 on Big Sur. Just happens when you run LR 6 on it.

Per, do you know if this occurs with LR 10 on Mac OS 11.0?

No, I'm a Windows user, and know very little about Macs, but I don't think it happens with LR 10.

But this is the third post I've seen about the info overlay having a white background in LR 6 on Big Sur.

So, looking at the screenshot, are you referring to the info overlay?

I want to say my thanks to Per.

With his tip of using the I on the Develop mode to get rid of the bar. This bar had stopped me from using Big Sur . . but now I'm on Monterey.

I have the impression that on Monterey the images seem sharper and better defined than Catalina, has to do with new screen configuration of course.

- By the I have Lightroom 6.14, am happy, and I also have a LR subscription free for a year (came with new camera) but I like 6.14 as it is . .

Thanks for your help. It worked! So far Lightroom is working with Big Sur so I’ll stay with it until I have no choice.
