Lightroom Mobile Auto Adjusting Photos when Previewing and Editing

[DanOwen46]

Every time I import photos into Lightroom mobile and open them to edit, Lightroom automatically adjusts the photo immediately to add a bit more vibrancy and saturation, not shown in the vibrancy and saturation adjustment bars. When the photo is exported this 'auto adjust' doesn't go with it so I'm left with a slightly duller picture than what was shown in Lightroom after editing. Any advice on why it does this and how I can stop it from doing so? I'm on a Google Pixel 7 Pro if that helps.

I've also just tried to do a screen record to demonstrate this, but it doesn't show up on the recording! No idea what this is about and it's frustrating as my finished edit is not what I get when exporting!

Hey DanOwen46. Welcome to Lightroom Community. I'll need more info to help you figure this out.

Where do you keep your Lightroom catalog? On an internal or external drive? What type of file are you importing in Lightroom? Is it JPG/RAW/PNG? Does this happen with all the files or with any specific files? 

It can be happened if your auto editing feature is turn on in Lightroom mobile. To turn it off, you can go to Settings and then select Auto Settings under the Edit tab, From there, you can toggle off the option for Auto Edit Photos. 

Let us know if this helps. 

Thanks!

Hi Shivani

I did solve the issue. It was specific to my Google Pixel 7 Pro. The colour settings on my phone were causing the change in display of the photos. This was in the settings in the phone, under display and colours. I had it set to 'Adaptive' but changing it to 'Natural' solved the issue. 

Somebody on Reddit suggested the idea. 

Thanks.

I am using a Google Pixel 8 Pro and this solved the problem for me too.

I am having this same issue, but I have an iphone. Every picture I import is automatically edited by lightroom, it adjusts its color balance and saturation, even when I turn off 'auto' it still adjusts it and I can't revert it to its original state. It is really whiting out my pictures, which makes me use it less and less. Which is a bummer.

Have you figured anything out? Mine is doing the same thing. 

[samantha_5398]

No, I have to manually try and revert it. I thought I would have a response on here by now but nothing.

Still happening on my iPhone. Please fix it ASAP 🙏🙏🙏

Hi! Just screenshot the photo and upload the screenshot instead of the original photo. Hope this helps!

[samantha_5398]

This would not help/change anything. Even if I imported the screenshot into Lightroom is would auto change the screen shot. 

[reigel_0178]

I'm just saying what worked for me. When I uploaded the screenshot, Lightroom did not put that awkward "hazy" filter over it. Because it's no longer a "raw" photo.

I don't see these options on my iPhone Lightroom app
