Loupe View and Full Screen not working on Surface Pro 7 i5 8GB

[StefanH76]

Hi,

I just bought a new Surface Pro 7 i5 8GB and installed Lightroom on it.

Most things run fine, but there are these problems :

1. Fullscreen mode (f) is showing only a black screen in Develop Mode

2. The Loupe View in the guided Upright Transformation is only showing a black box on the cursor, i can´t see the magnified view. Similarly the Loupe View in the Details to see magnified sharpening is showing only a black view.

I´ve updatet the Surface Pro 7 to the latest available drivers via Windows Update first, without an impact on that problem.

Then I´ve updated the Intel Graphics directly via Intel website to the latest available Intel graphics driver, but still no impact on that problem.

Here is my System Info :

If in /preferences/performance/ you are enabling use Graphics Processor, turn that off. Fir less than 4K, this option probably does not provide benefit. This option could be degrading performance.

also

Graphics Processor Info:
DirectX: Intel(R) Iris(R) Plus Graphics (27.20.100.8336)

So, an integrated video controller, not a discrete Graphics Processor, and hoe much video RAM available? This also, probably does not allow for a benefit of using Graphics Processor, I suspect if you are trying, you get limited or no advanced acceleration.

Costs nothing to try.

hmm, this integrated video controll? So, yes limited: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Iris-Plus-Graphics-G4-Ice-Lake-48-EU-Laptop-GPU.422872.0.html

Thanks David, 

I´ve already tried that, but there´s no impact on this issue if I turn graphics processor usage on or off.

Auto (Basic Acceleration), Custom (Full Acceleration), Off (Acceleration disabled), the problem is always there.

But I realized that even the main photo display window in develop module isn´t showing any content if I switch graphic processor usage to off. I would assume this is also not working as designed?

I found several reviews of this devive where they said the performance should be sufficient for lightroom, even if it´s not the best performance. So I can´t believe that the hardware specification is the problem.

Any more ideas?

Meanwhile I´ve found the solution by myself, but I want to share this with others who might run into the same problem with the microsoft surface pro 7.

The solution can be found here : https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic/before-after-not-working-blank/td-p/9501755?page=1

You have  to set the correct sRGB color profile on the surface pro 7. I realized that I also had the problem with the before / after view as described there, and tried the proposed fix. And it solved it!

That means that the uncorrect color profile which was set as standard from microsoft is occuring problems with the before / after view, and the problems which I have described here regarding the loupe view and full screen view.

Hopefully this will help someone else.
