Lightroom shows warmer colors of my photos :(

Hi there! I have an issue here, When looking at a photo (Canon RAW: CR2) in the library or in the reference view in the Develop Tab, Lightroom shows a much warmer version of the photo, and it is very anoying because I cannot even compare photos well while editing.


Here I have an example, but it is the same in ALL photos before the new update it was everything OK.

Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!

Reference view is for matching the colors of two different images, so depending on the images, you may see a difference.

But I get the impression that also other views show a difference like Library and Develop.

If that's the case, this is probably caused by a defective monitor profile.

Try setting the profile to sRGB (or Adobe RGB if you have a wide gamut monitor). See instructions here:

If this fixes the issue, you should ideally calibrate your monitor with a hardware calibrator, which will create a monitor profile that accurately describes your monitor.

this helped me too! did you ever end up permanently calibrating your monitor with something like a Spyder? or did you just leave it on srgb in windows?
