The issue is that the built-in Distortion correction is causing noise in the image to be "reshaped," creating a visible non-linear noise pattern. At 1:1 Zoom view apply luminance Noise Reduction and readjust your Sharpening settings to reduce any visible noise. That should also reduce or eliminate the noise pattern. ... View more

This looks like Bayer Moire, which you can test by creating an Enhanced Details DNG and examining it at 1:1 Zoom view. If the artifacts are no longer visible than the issue is most likely Bayer Moire.   https://www.cloudynights.com/topic/747781-osc-sensor-bayer-pattern-in-darks-why/   Please upload your example raw file to Dropbox or other file sharing site so we can examine it on our own systems.  Export it to DNG file format with your Develop settings applied to the NEF file that exhibit the issue and upload the DNG file.

The graphics processor setting helps to speed up LrC with high-resolution 4K and 5K displays. If you're using a display like 2560 x 1440 or lower you shouldn't see a significant difference with it set to Off. ... View more

There's no need to change your display profile to sRGB if disabling the graphics processor fixed the issue. As @dj_paige mentioned this is usually due to a graphics driver issue.

There was a similar issue reported at the below post. Using an external memory card reader resolved the issue. Suspected that the iMac built-in memory card reader is defective or an OSX update corrupted the device firmware. Try using a different memory card reader. https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/lrc-does-not-recognize-any-files-canon-r5-formatted-cards/m-p/12756818#M264838   ... View more

In your screenshot Biblioteca y Revelar the words previsualizacion incrustada apppear. English translation is 'embedded preview.' This means you imported the image files with the Import module File Handling> Build Previews set to Embedded & Sidecar. This causes the imported image files to display the in-camera settings, which will look quite different than the LrC Develop module rendering. Change that setting to 'Standard' to use LrC's rendering in both the Library & Develop modules. Alternatively you can change the raw default setng to use your 'Camera Settings' as outlined at the below article.   https://helpx.adobe.com/il_en/lightroom-classic/help/raw-defaults.html   ...

Glad you got it resolved. Trying another card reader was going to be my next suggestion. The below link would seem to indicate yout iMac Late 2014 model is compatible with UHS-I SD cards, but not UHS-II SD cards.

Copy all of the files on the SD card to your HDD or SSD. Then  insert the card back into the Canon R5 and reformat the SD card with the 'Low level format' option checked. Shoot some new pictures and try importing again using LrC Import module. ... View more

From this forum: https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1685942/0   1. You are trying to copy files directly off of the camera via a USB cable. Canon R5 does not support USB Mass Storage Mode. To copy directly from the camera you will need to use Canon EOS Utility to first transfer the files to your computer, and then you can import them in to Lightroom. 2. The other problem is that due to the way that most CFExpress cards are mounted, Lightroom does not work like it does for SD cards. CFExpress readers end up getting mounted as an SSD, and in Lightroom when you click on the root of the drive it shows nothing. If you expand it, and click on DCIM, it will also show nothing. BUT if you then click up above on the checkbox that says "Include subfolders" then it should work. ... View more

"I updated that copy frequently. When the first external hard drive did fail however I didn't do something right because Lightroom could not read the back-up external hard drive."   How are you making these "updated copies" and using what application? Also make sure you do not move, rename, delete, or add files and folders from outside of LrC using Finder or Windows File explorer. Only perfrom these operatiosn from inside LrC using the Library module Folders panel. Performing those operations from outside LrC will cause the files and folder to show as missing.

What is the purpose of the duplicate copies and how will you use them. If for backup purposes they should NOT be imported back into LrC.
