New to Lightroom Classic and Having Brilliant Blue Appear

When I'm editing a RAW B&W photo on Lightroom Classic, a brilliant blue caste on certain parts of the photo appear when adjusting either exposure or contrast.

It must be a simple fix I'm not aware of - Thanks!

Hi Eric,

That sounds like the shadow clipping indication is enabled. On the Histogram are two little triangles - click whichever is highlighted.

Thanks John, I seem to have one triangle on the 10.2 copy, clicking on it moves from down to the side, but the bluing effect remains the same. I tried it on another RAW photo before going to mono, the symptoms on that are the same.

In my screen shot below, you can see the white box around the shadow clipping warning, and no white box around the highlight warning on the right:

Here's a quick video from Adobe's Benjamin Warde that explains further if you're interested:

Got it! Now I understand......Thanks much MIchael and for the video also. I really like this program, but as an amateur I'm still struggling with the basics!

 

Thanks again! Great Forum!

Eric, I'm glad you got it sorted! Lightroom has lots and lots of features, and discovering them can sometimes be a challenge!
