As I’m editing, randomly when I zoom in on a pic, it darkens. When I zoom back out to full view it goes back to the brightness level I edited it with. However, I discovered these photos that darkened when I zoomed in are exporting at the darker exposure and not matching the others in the batch, even though they match in Lr when they're full view/zoomed out. This is a cell pic of my screen of a gallery. It happened at the end of editing this gallery. The ones I circled are how I edited them and the other pics exported darker and don’t match. I have updated LR and restarted my Macbook Pro and its still doing it on random pics, adding to my editing time.

I found out it had to do with the masks/adjustment brushes. When i synced multiple images with the same mask/adjustment brush, like, for example i did an increased exposure brush in the center and synced the images, it would do this. It was inconsistent and i don't know why it happened, but when i deleted the adjustment brush and re-did it without syncing the mask(s) on the effected images, it stopped doing it. Hope that helps!
