Lightroom 5.5 Color Over-Saturation in Develop (Normal in Library)

So I started running into this problem last night. Any photos hat have particularly bright spots, or a large contrast range form these patches of pure red, green or blue. It seems like red forms wherever the photos approach 'near-white', blue where it is 'near black', and I have yet to determine what causes the green (it is far less common). But this is across all of my photos. Even the old ones that I know are alright - have gone to print and have not been adjusted since. But this only happens when viewing the photo in develop mode, in library mode the photos always display correctly. I've attached images to demonstrate.
Develop mode:
The same photo in Library mode:
I don't know if you can see in the develop image, but the front grill is speckled with blue pixels, as well as inside the wheel hubs, this car's windshield, and on the windshield of the left-most car across the street. If I drop the exposure, the blue speckling becomes more prevalent (red splotches shrink). If I increase it, the red splotches grow (blue speckling decreases). This happens with daytime photos as well, but usually just with the reds, and occasionally the greens. I've yet to run into green splotches on a nighttime photo.
I use a Nikon D7100 exclusively at the moment. I always import to my computer using Lightroom's tool. I am on Windows 8.1 64-bit, using an nVidia (EVGA) GTX 760, 16Gb of ram, an Intel Core i7 3770k. I've already done a clean reinstall of my graphics drivers, but I stopped short of a Lightroom reinstall. The NEFs themselves display perfectly inside of Irfanview 4.36. I wanted to test to see if it was a general Adobe issue, or just Lightroom, but I also discovered that my PS CS4 is now refusing to open NEFs - "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document". This could be a separate issue, or it might be related because they started happening at the same time - never had a problem opening an NEF from my D7100 in photoshop, but it's been a couple months since I've last had to go into photoshop to do editing for a shot.
The only other change I can think of is I ditched my second monitor in a recent move. But that one was my secondary monitor, going through a DVI-VGA adapter. It was old, flickered a little when displaying a darker image, and I'm pretty sure it's reds never displayed correctly. It was never used for anything more than hosting a library grid. And yes, I've checked my calibration of my monitor 24" Asus. The exact model number escapes me at the moment (ASUS isn't the best at labeling model numbers on their product), but it's a few years old.
Any thoughts?

You have the clipping indicators activated, red for highlight clipping and blue for shadow clipping.
Click the little triangles at the dark and light ends of the histogram to toggle the clipping warnings on and off.

Lightroom won't open Import dialog box

Lightroom was working fine, but recently started locking up as soon as I click on import to bring up the import dialog box. Other than that, lightroom appears to be running fine and zippy, but as soon as I click the button or go through file menu it freezes. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit on a Core i7 with 8 GB of ram. Things I have tried are below:
Restoring Windows to before last critical update.
Uninstalling Antivirus SW
Uninstalling and Reinstalling Lightroom (reinstall was fresh from Creative Cloud to make sure it was the most recent version)
Creating a new catalog
Updating HW drivers
Tried with cards/reader/usb devices in and out
Any ideas because my next step is to format the HD and try a fresh install of windows and everything else?
Thanks,
Matt

Resetting (or 'Trashing') the Lightroom Preferences file - Lightroom Forums
I do not see where you have tried to reset your preferences file. That is much quicker than a reformat:

Soundtrack in Lightroom 3 playback speed

I have Lightroom 3 retail edition, a new Macbook Pro 17" 2010 running OSX 10.6.4, with the Core i7 and 8GB of RAM. Everything runs great on this machine to include Lightroom 3. I've been running Lightroom since it came out. For the first time, just messing around, I created a slideshow last week, and attached a mp3 as a soundtrack.
When I attach an MP3 to a slideshow, the music plays at the improper tempo. The playback is normally slow, meaning the playback sounds like a movie playing at half speed. Some MP3s play faster or slower than others. M4A's playback just fine. I know I could just convert my audio files, but I shouldn't have too. The support documentation does show support for mp3 files.
I've spent 7 hours on tech support over the last four days, and I am now waiting for a Rep to call me back in the next 5 days.
Has anyone else experienced this, or know how to fix it?
I have tried (with Tech support on the line) reinstalling Lightroom, reinstalling lightroom with a new user, uninstalling and manually removing all of the preference files from the Libraries then reinstalling to yet another new user. Tech support is severally inefficient at, well, you know... Tech support.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Meghan
Thanks for the thought but I've got a maximum fit of 3GB installed - the system won't recognise any more. I guess I'll have to raid the piggy bank when version 3 is finally released! In the meantime I can work with v2. Great programme Lightroom eh?

Mobile is one of the things that doesn't work after CC expires, so those links might help reset Lightroom for you.

Lightroom 3 wiping all my presets

I purchased Lightroom 3 as a download last year, and I've had constant issues with it ever since. Problems include the following:
-On startup, it says my camera profiles are missing, and to reinstall Lightroom to fix the issue. Of course, reinstalling Lightroom does nothing.
-It deletes all my presets - metadata presets, stored watermarks, developing presets, and export settings. There seems to be no trigger or particular frequency for this.
-Every 30 days, it says that my trial of Lightroom has expired, and to enter my serial number to continue. When I enter my serial number, it gives me the same message again in another 30 days. This has continued to happen even after uninstalling Lightroom, reinstalling, and entering my serial number immediately.
I'm getting more and more frustrated, and the previous solution I've been given ("Try reinstalling the program") has fixed nothing. Sure, it still works, but every time I have to re-enter all my presets, I get a little more annoyed. I'm about to snap here - what can I do?

Try this:
Check if in Preferences / Presets tab the box <Store presets with catalog> is checked. If it is your presets are not stored in the default location, where Lr looks for presets but next to the catalog.
Uncheck the box.

Lightroom 2015 won't run on my PC

Installation of Lr 2015 (CC) was flawless, but it won't open on my PC

Won't open on my Mac either. Photoshop CC is ok.
I have tried uninstalled both the new lightroom and the old lightroom, reinstall the new lightroom, reboot. Still will not run.
Now, where can I get the stand alone version of Lightroom again to get up and running?
Awesome update Adobe!

LR5 and ACR glacially slow; tried everything

I built a custom PC for photo editing and it has been a profound disappointment. Performance with both Adobe Camera RAW through Bridge CC and Lightroom 5 are glacial. Ten seconds for a preview, 6 seconds for a 1:1 zoom, 4-5 seconds for a visual response to each individual adjustment, etc.
Here are key components:
OS - Windows 8.1 PRO 64-bit
CPU - AMD FX-6350 CPU
Mobo - AsRock 970 Extreme3 R2.0
RAM - 32GB Crucial Ballistix RAM DDR3 1600
Boot SSD - Samsung 840 250GB MZ-7TD250BW SSD
Footage SSD - Kingston SV300S37A/240G 240GB SSD
Video Card - EVGA 02G-P4-3658-KR 2GB GTX 650 Ti
Lightroom Version - 5.3 64-bit
Adobe Camera RAW CC
Here are steps I've taken to alleviate issue, all without success:
Optimized catalog, LR5 settings, etc
Updated video driver
Reinstalled Lightroom
Reinstalled Windows 8.1
Transitioned footage from 7200rpm HDD to new SSD
Overclocked PC from 3.9ghz to 4.3ghz
Converted RAW files to DNG (Sony a57 is my camera model)
Created new catalog
Increased LR cache to 64gb
Installed Windows 7 for comparison
Developed new smart, standard, and 1:1 previews
Deleted preferences folder and started anew
Changed monitor color profiles (Acer H226HQLbid > sRGB 2.1 > sRGB 4)
Created new catalog with only ~50 images
Ran Memtest86; no RAM errors. Speed, timing, voltage are at proper stock values
Updated SSD firmware
Secure-erased and reformatted OS and footage SSD drives
Ensured that 'auto-write to XMP' was deactivated
Ensured that 'Default' metadata setting was active
None of these steps have resulted in any noticeable improvement. LR5 hangs, crashes, and lags upon every single adjustment. Adobe Camera RAW CC behaves the same way. I am desperate.

I AM SO HAPPY!
As I mentioned earlier, I deleted Avast Antivirus in favor of the stock Windows 8.1 AV, called 'Windows Defender'. My malware program is (and has been) MalwareBytes.
I've been throwing adjustments at LR5 like Ali jabs on Frazier... what a breeze. Changing AV programs has solved the issue.
This computer is horsing through lengthy edit sessions while immediately providing visual response to my changes. Applications of VSCO presets take ~4-5 seconds to complete, but that's not much of a holdup considering how many adjustments go into those presets.
I've had some other minor issues in the past with Avast (sometimes interferes with Windows Installer). This, however, is the exclamation point on my official "DO NOT RECOMMEND!" stamp. With Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit and Lightroom 5 64-bit, Avast Antivirus (in my experience) was at fault for all of the sluggishness, crashing, and hanging.
Sincerely, thank you all so much for your help. Several of you provided intelligent troubleshooting suggestions; thank you. This was a tremendously frustrating issue and your help has seen to its resolution. If you stop by Tacoma, WA, I'll buy any of you a beer!

Newest version won't run on my PC.

When I downloaded version 4 it went through the installation and then hung up while checking plugins.

Won't open on my Mac either. Photoshop CC is ok.

LR 5 Library module issues

I have read all the problems that other have been having with LR5 & the library module running slow. I have been using LR5.2 since it was released with no issues of slowness, the only issue I had was that sometimes the position of images shown in LR did not match what was shown in Finder. Opening & closing LR seemed to correct this.
I have a Mac with Version 10.8.5. 2.8 Ghz Intel Core i5, 4gb 1333 Mhz Memory & 3Tb hard drive. I have 56,000 images in one catalogue.
Everything was fine until this morning. Last night I uploaded 700 images. This morning all was fine. I had shot some images to use for HDR, so decided to update Photomatix Pro HDR from version 4 to version 5. Despite following the instruction the automatic download & install did not load the plug in into LR & it kept loading version 4. I deleted Photomatix 4 & 5 from the computer & re-loaded version 5 only.
From then on the library module has locked up & I can not get access to the catalogue. I have logged out & back in several times. I have a LR back-up & have exported the key words to a back up file.
I am a photographer not a computer expert so if anyone is able to make any suggestions they will need to be simple.
Is uninstalling both Photomatix Pro & Lightroom & reinstalling them an option?
What do I need to carefull with so as not to lose information on the images?
Any help would be appreciated.

I had been using Photomatix Pro 4 as a plug-in to LR, I upgraded to Photomatix Pro 5, it appeared to have installed correctly.
When it first happened I was in the library module as that is from where you access the plug in. I tried the plug in Photomatix Pro 5 for the first time & the HDR image which was created did not re appear in LR as it was supposed to. I tried a second time & the same thing happened, the image created did not appear in the LR light table view. I scrolled through the LR files on the LHS of the screen & found two “ghosted” image icons (still in LR library module). I tried to delete these from within LR & it would go through the normal delete screens but right after I clicked that I agreed to “remove them from the disc” a message would come up saying something like “they could not be deleted as they were aliases”. (I cannot recreate this message as the library module is frozen)
I tried a number of times but the same. I went to Finder to the original folder containing these “aliases” to delete them from there but they were not there. I searched Finder using “date created” but there were no files of that name.
Using a program called Appcleaner I deleted all versions of Photomatix from the computer & then downloaded & re-installed Photomatix Pro 5. This time it worked with LR creating a HDR & loading it back into LR in the correct position. LR Library module was working fine at this point.
The two “aliases” were still showing so I decided to close LR to see if that cleared them. When I reopened LR the files down the LHS in the library module did not all “fill” some were greyed out, when I tried to scroll down I noticed that some folders were missing. As I used the slider on the LHS to scroll down it would not go passed a point about halfway down the screen, it would let me go back up but not down passed that point. I was not able to expand the parent folders (the visible parent folders are six months shooting, inside each is the individual shoot folders) but if I selected one of the parent folders slowly it would show all the images in that folder on the light table view but I was not able to scroll down those photos.
I opened & closed LR several times with the same result. I completely shut down the computer & re-opened LR with the same result. I then changed modules to Develop module to see what was happening there, all was good, the same with the other modules. I then tried to go back into Library module & the tab in the top right hand corner changed from Develop to Library but rest of the screen stays as the develop module screen. The tabs along the top line only read Lightroom/File/Edit/Window/Help none of the other library module tabs are there, if I go into develop they are all as they should be. It stays like this... frozen, I can go back into the other modules & they work.
While writing this email I switched back to the Library module & received an error message for the first time. It read “an error occurred when attempting to change modules”
I have replied to your email directly as when I went to the forum I could not find a reply key. Where is this?

Mac OSX gives error while importing photos - "Kernel Panic"

I upgraded my mac, reinstalled OSX and Lightroom , tried to import photos, mac gives error (called Kennel Panic) and restarts abandoning import. Applecare support suspect Lightroom reinstall issue. Thanks

If you want PRE to be responsive you should follow Steves' recommendation to resize to 1000x750 (SD).
At the technical level I think the maximum allowable dimensions are 4096 x 4096 - but PRE will struggle with pictures that size.

Thank you for your answers, it helps me a lot.
But sorry for my ignorance. I understand how you mean it, but I don't know how to do it. I'm scared to lose the settings/edits of the images.

Hi I have been having a problem with Bridge in CS4 recently. So uninstalled CS4 and Lightroom 4.4 and reinstalled them on my Desktop PC. When I turned on Bridge through CS4, My thumb nail images disappeared and a thumb nail icon with CR2 appeared. Now some of my images have disappeared from Light room 4.4, but I can find them in CS4 and Bridge now shows some thumb nails as images and some as an icon with CR2. I have spent two weeks going through preferences etc. to find how to resolve my problem. Please can you Help? Meany thanks in advance

I don't use LR and rarely use the bridge so I can not answers about thumbnails in them, However thumbnails in windows file explorer and windows dialog for CS2 files will only show if you have installed codec into windows that will produce them. Windows does not do CR2 thumbnails on its own. I use FastPictureViewer Codec package for RAW File and PSD files thunbmail support.

Everytime I open lightroom I get a pop up message saying "Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and needs to quit" and it closes. Ive already tried reinstalling, nothing seems to work. Help please!

Open the folder containing your catalog. In that folder you will find another folder with the extension .lrdata, and you need to delete that folder. After you do that, Lightroom should start normally and will create a new preview cache.
