HEIF files looks too bright before zooming in

Report · Apr 21, 2023

Lightroom version: V. 8.3.1 0045B8/34

iPadOS version: 16.3.1 (20D67)

1. Import HIF/HEIF image.

2. Tap on/open image.

3. Pinch out to zoom in.

What happens is that before you zoom in, the image looks brighter. As soon as you zoom in a little mit it becomes darker. It stays darker when you zoom back out. When exporting the file to the camera roll it looks like the darker version. Zooming in before exporting does not make a difference.

Seems to me like the darker version is the correct one and the brighter one is incorrect.

I hope that was precise enough. Let me know if it wasn't.

EDIT: Aditional details just in case it matters: I'm using reference mode on my 12.9 iPad Pro with the M1 chip. The images are from a Fujifilm X-T5.

EDIT 2: I just noticed another bug, tell me if this requires another thread. Some of the HEIF files are completely white before zooming in. The image appea When zooming in. They also appear completely white in the thumbnail. They export just fine though.

Hello @just eirik

Could you reply with a sample file or two as attachments? It could help speed the validation and investigation of the issue you're reporting.

Thank you!

Sure, just please ignore that my photos are bad 😛

Also notice that the Lightroom marks them as being RAW files for some reason.

EDIT: Wait this does not seem to work, this website/forum is making them into jpegs it seems.

EDIT 2: In case it helps I've uploaded the two HEIF files to my Google Drive. I had to put them in a zip file though because the Google Drive app would not let me upload HEIF files. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UMwLX-xZCBebhD7O-jcVPvWb3xhwRruY/view?usp=drivesdk
