Over saturated colors when graphic acceleration is on, Intel UHD

Community Beginner ,
May 17, 2025 May 17, 2025

Description of Issue I am using LR CC on a small Lenovo desktop equipped with an i7 CPU and Intel on-board UHD graphics. I don't expect grand performance from this configuration, but I expect it to display colors correctly in Adobe products.  

 

When graphics acceleration is set to ON, display colors are over saturated, as if color management is not used, or not used correctly. When setting is OFF, colors display as expected (using LR Classic an other imaging software as references).


Lightroom Desktop Version Number (Help>System Info…) 

  • LR CC 8.3.1
  • OS Version Number
  • W11 Home 24H2
  • Camera Model (sometimes necessary)

 

All Step-by-step Reproduction Instructions (in precise terms please)

 

  • Using LR CC version as of above. Program detects graphics card correctly and enables acceleration by default. Images in Edit and Display mode appear much too saturated, compared to reference software (LR Classic, Windows Photo viewer etc.). When graphic acceleration is set to OFF, images display with correct colors. Exported images appear correctly. 

 

The Expected Result

  • Images should display with correct colors inside LR CC, otherwise editing will be off. 

 

The Actual Result

  • See above

 

Other info

 

  • I am using a HW calibrated monitor (ViewSonic VP2785), I am fairly famililar with color management. The problem described pertains only to images displayed inside LR CC. It is not an issue with other software, including built-in MS Windows imaging tools. It appears as if LR CC does not interact correctly with the graphics subsystem, or that the graphic subsystem is unable to handle LR CC's requirements (even if the card is detected as supported, albeit limited).

Just to clarify - this is an issue with the display of images _inside_ LR CC. Exported images appear as expected.

Hi CM,

Thanks for picking up on this. Text file with system info attached. OS, graphics driver and Adobe sw were all updated this morning but the issue remains. Let me know if there is anything else I can provide to help your fault finding.

And while updating LR CC, I noticed that the setting "Use graphics processor" is reset to "Auto" when LR CC is updated to a new version, disregarding prev. setting (which was "Off"). This looks like a bug to me, but no big issue.
