Hello. I've read some other topics about issues like mine but nothing that a i've tried worked for me. First of all, sorry for my bad english. The problem is that Images look very different between devolp and library modules. I'm using windows 11, lightroom classic 13.2,  an LG monitor ultrawike 29" 29wk600 model with  AMD Radeon RX 6650 XT video adapter importing using 1:1 previews and it doesn't matter what I try to do differente, the difference between the imagens in the modules are so different. In develop imagens looks sharper and with more texture as the example below: (first one from  develop and the second from library).

 

Other example (first one from develop and second one from library)

 

What do you think should I do to solve this, please? 
Thank you!

While there are differences in how Library and Develop display photo details, the examples you posted look larger than normal. Next steps:

 

1. View the Library and Develop images at 100% (View > Zoom To 100%).  If you still see significant differences, post screenshots of the same portion of the image from Library and Develop.

 

2. In Library, after zooming to 100%, zoom back to Fit. Does it now look sharper and closer to Develop? If it looks sharper after zooming to 100% and back to Fit, that suggests that the 1:1 preview wasn't originally displayed, and we can dig into that more.

    Thank you!

    You are right, I captured the image when it still was loading, my mistake. I am going to post it right now. I opened in develop, waited for 1 minute and took the shot, did the same in library before take the shot.


    Colors now look pretty thye same but still looks differente in sharpening. 

    What do you mean with delete preview cache, please? Delete the pictures in lightroom and import it again? I did it and it didn't work.

     

     

     

     


    There was no need to delete and reimport.

     

    This is the preview cache, sitting beside your catalog file:

     

     

    The previews you see in Library are stored as jpegs, separate from the original raw file, in this cache. These previews should be updated as you work. The preview cache is there to speed things up in Library. It can be deleted, and then it will rebuild as new previews are needed and generated.
