Images in library module aren't as sharp compared to develop module.

For some reason images in the library module aren’t as sharp compared to the develop module. If I’m in develop images are nice and sharp but as soon as I select the library you can see the image quality drop and image becomes less blurry!
I’ve had a look on here and other people have this issue and I’ve tried the various fixes suggested with no success at all.

It sounds like the library module is using a lower quality preview. If you are using minimal or embedded previews, they could look different than what you saw in the Develop module. Do other changes you make seem to be in the preview, just lower quality? Like if you applied a heavy vingette, do you see the that in the preview? If you don't, that could mean LR isn't updating the previews it uses in the Library module and you might want to look and purging your cache. If you do, try rendering a 1:1 preview for the image and see if the preview looks better.
Another thing to check is to make sure your standard preview size is appropriate for the size of your monitor. If you've got a huge monitor but have a small preview size, you'll notice a difference.
Choose Edit >  Catalog Settings (Windows) or Lightroom > Catalog Settings (Mac OS), and then select File Handling.
For Standard Preview Size, choose the amount that is closest to the longest edge of your screen resolution, but not shorter than it. For example, if your screen resolution is 1920 x 1200 pixels, choose Standard Preview Size > 2048 Pixels.
For Preview Quality, choose Low or Medium, which equates to the low- or mid-range of the quality scale for JPEG files.

  • Images in Library module look pix

    Hi, I have been using LR 5.6 and Photoshop 5. This has never been an issue and only now started appearing in my images. When I work
    on my images in PS5 and save as a TIFF file then in LR there is no banding occurring in the Develop module but when I go into the Library
    module there is banding on the same image. Not sure what is happening here, the resulting JPEG images look horrible. Here are the two
    screen shots of the closeups to show one with and one without banding. Does anyone have any suggestions?
    The one on the left is from the Library module and the one on the right is from the Develop module.
    The RAW files are from Canon IDX
    Thank you for any useful suggestions.

    I forgot to mention that I'm using a macbook pro with 16gb ram
    and the apple 27 inch LED display. Never had this problem with
    this configuration before.
    Thank you.

  • Export images from library module with borders

    Lightroom has been a great help for organizing my images and preparing them for photo competitions, but it would be a lot more convenient if I had an option to add a border to some of my exported images.  Many competition judges demote images that have black content on the edges unless we add narrow (2 or 3 pixel) borders to the images.  You already do this for slideshow mode; the same feature in Library export would really be appreciated.  As it is, I have to export tiff files, then use a Photoshop action to prepare the bordered competition jpegs.

    You can create a border in photo shop. You need to create it with a transparent background.  Add it to the picture in the print mode as a watermark.  Check the watermarking options and you will be able to create a preset. Choose your border in image options.  Your border file can also have text etc.  
    You could also use photo-Edit in- to go to photoshop. Edit a copy.  Ctrl J - a new layer.  Add a layer style - Stroke - choose position "inside" and exactly how many pixels you want.  Hope that is descriptive enough. sounds like you probably know more about photoshop than I do.  I'm not familiar with a photoshop action
    Good luck

  • Develop module & library module aren't matching

    When I am editing, my photos look how I want them to in the develop module, but when I switch over to the library they look different. Some photos it doesn't apply the clarity, highlights, noise reduction, or sharpening. I haven't had this problem up until a month or two ago. It used to be the same between the two modules and I no problems editing. Now it's a pain to edit because I have to switch to the Library to see what the image is really looking like, go back to develop to try and change it, but cant end up getting it to look how I want. Images look the same zoomed in, but not in normal view. I am on Windows, Lightroom 3.6. I have tried reupdating the software, downloading an older version. also updated my video driver, and nothing helped. trying to avoid reinstalling all of lightroom because I do not want to lose any previewly modified images.
    first one is the view from develop. you can tell its a lot more noisey.
    second picture is from the library. it's a lot more smooth.
    so basically my images aren't being shown correctly. I have looked through a lot of discussions on here and no one seems to have an answer...please help me! editing should be fun, not frustrating.

    Thanks for the response. This appears to be more the issue with image that is exported is using the algorithm for the library module as opposed to the changes made using the develop module. The histograms are different when switching between the two modules (Library/Develop) for the same image.
    Camera: D7100
    Image Type: RAW
    ISO: 3200
    Bingo! You're using an ISO 3200 image with fairly high sharpening settings, which is going to increase noise in the image. If you view the image at 1:1 in the Develop module the noise should very visible. The Develop module and Library module 1:1 previews should both show the noise and look very close to each other. The reason why less than 1:1 Zoom previews (i.e. Fit, Fill, 1:4) and histograms look different is explained in my reply #29 under this heading MORE THAN YOU PROBABLY NEED TO KNOW (For Techno Geeks & Nerds Only). The Export module uses the same Bicubic algorithm as the Library module, which is why the Library module's preview is more accurate than the Develop module. Virtually all image editors (not just LR) use the same Bicubic resizing algorithms and will produce the same discrepancy when compared to LR's Develop module preview.
    Fortunately there is a very easy solution to this issue. Unfortunately many people prefer to complain, say it is a LR "bug," and don't listen further to suggestions on "fixing" the issue. If you fall into the latter camp don't bother reading further! Sorry if this sounds crass and cynical, but I can only provide advice. Whether you believe me and try it is your decision! It works for me using five different camera models with both raw and JPEG image files.
    High ISO and/or High Sharpening Preview Discrepancy Fix
    1) Set Develop module to 1:1 Zoom View.
    2) a. Adjust Sharpening panel settings for desired look.
        b. With noisy images it's best to keep the Detail setting no higher than 35.
        c. Try using the Masking slider to reduce noise in even toned areas.
    3) Increase Detail panel Color setting until the color noise is barely visible.
    4) If there is still some residual color noise try increasing the Color detail setting to ~80.
    4) Increase the Detail panel Luminance setting until noise is barely visible or gone.
    5) If the image has lost significant sharpness try increasing the Luminance Detail setting to ~80.
    6) If necessary go back to steps # 2-5 and make small adjustments to the Sharpening and NR settings.
    Now compare the Develop and Library previews at Fit view or better yet at 1:8, 1:4, or 1:3. They should look very close to each other with the Develop preview very slightly sharper. Full-size and reduced size Exports should look very close to what you see in the Develop module. When Resizing images don't forget to add Export Output Sharpening. When images are Resized the Output Sharpening setting has more influence on image sharpness than the LR Develop Sharpening settings. For most images the Screen Standard setting should produce crisp images. If you want more try the High setting. I generally find the Screen Low setting produces the most natural look. YMMV dependent on lens performance, camera shake, focus issues, or simply poor lighting (cloudy, foggy, etc.).

  • Secondary Display image quality is poor (at 1:1) in Library module

    I'm not a frequent user of the Secondary Display feature, so I can't say state whether this particular issue is new in 2.3RC or if it also was seen in a previous version. I submitted a bug report since I searched but did not find any previous mention of this sort of thing. Anyone else notice this?
    Here's my problem: When I'm using LR's Develop module and activate the Secondary Display (SD) window, the SD images for all zoom ratios seem identical in quality (sharpness. color) to the images seen in the main screen--as expected. However when I switch over to Library module and use 1:1 zoom, the SD image becomes relatively degraded (i.e., quite blurry/pixelated) compared to the main window. When SD is set at the lower zoom ratios (still in Library module) its quality seems fine--i.e., more or less indistinguishable from the main screen. It's only when SD is used at 1:1 in the Library module that it appears "buggy".
    I'm using a Mac Power PC G4, OSX 10.4.11.
    Phil
    P.S. I should mention that the image quality at 1:1 zoom in Library Module's Secondary Display is not only worse than the main Library screen, it's also significantly worse (less sharp) than seen in the Develop module--and that's certainly not unexpected.

    >Gordon McKinney:What happens is the second display doesn't render a 1:1 for optimal sharpness.
    For me it isn't just sharpness. I can make a change that is fairly radical and have it show up immediately in the main monitor--both in the navigation panel and in the main display panel. The image on the 2nd monitor remains unchanged.
    If I then use the history panel to move back to the previous state and then re-select the final state the image on the secondary display
    usually, not always gets updated. Sometimes it takes a 2nd or a third cycle from previous to latest history state. This 'missed update' in the 2nd monitor doesn't happen 100% of the time, but it does happen quite often.

  • Images are blurred in Library module

    I am having some new issues when viewing images in the Library module. I have been using LR for quite sometime and this is the first time. I saw a thread somewhere here that maybe this might be a bug. Is that correct. Let me walk you through some of the chronological process.
    1-I was viewing RAW images in the Library module and noticed the images were trying to stay in focus. Then since that time the images have been rather soft, blurred.
    2-I Optimized the Catalog, and changed the "preview settings". But it didn't not make any improvement.
    3- I viewed the same images using Image Browser just for a comparison, and I was amazed how sharp the images were compared to LR. Keep in mind that I have never experienced this shooting RAW. I am aware that RAW images have imbedded JPG Preview images, but this is not the case
    4- I am not editing, or making any changes, so need to suggest to view the images in the Develop module. All I'm doing at this time is to select my best shots.
    5- However, I noticed something interesting. The images that are displayed blurred, were shot with my G9 camera. But if I view other RAW images shots with my 40D, and even my old D60 they are not blurred at all.
    I am wondering if this anomaly has any connection between the G9 and LR? I'm very frustrated since I have deleted some images based of how they were displayed,but now I'm wondering if they were good shots and they were displayed blurred.
    Any suggestion

    There's nothing wrong with posting a question to multiple forums. I was trying to show that at the Canon forum you stated LR was initially working properly, and sometime later the same images appeared blurry. This is an indication that something changed in your system, not an issue with LR’s capabilities:
    -Corrupted LR preferences file
    -LR application, corrupted
    -System Virus
    -Low hard drive space
    -Failing hard drive
    -System memory issues (insufficient memory, failing memory)
    -Camera problem (not likely)
    The problems logging into the Adobe LR forum is another indication that you may have one or more of the above system issues.
    There is an issue concerning LR not applying sharpening and noise reduction to images in the Library module, except at very high ISO settings:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/889490?tstart=120
    I doubt this is the "blurring" you describe in the Library module, since your 40D and older 60D camera images are not blurred. You would also be able to see 'Sharpening' and 'Noise Reduction' applied in the Develop module at 'Fit' image view size. You stated that you see no difference.
    As you can see there are numerous things that could be causing your problem. I suggest trying the suggestions I provided in my last reply as a good starting point to finding and "fixing" the source of the problem.

  • Images altering between Develope & Library module in LR3

    For some time now I have had an Issue with LR3.
    When I have edited an image in Develope then switch back to Library the is a noticeable change in sharpness ( the image goes softer)
    I have tried to work out which images or settings it happens on more often, but can't seem to get any idea what is happening.
    Any advice or solution would be greatly appreciated. I don't believe this would be normal as there is no point in getting the image in Develope to where u want it, only to have it appear to alter as soon as you return to the Library module.

  • LR5 Fill mode preview in Library module is not sharp

    Hi,
    I just discovered, that when in Library module, and viewing my photos in Fill mode, it is not sharp. It is in fact so blurry, that it is unusable. Not sure I remember it correctly, but it happened also during the tethered shooting and viewing image on secondary monitor.
    Interesting thing is, that once in a Develop module, Fill mode preview is sharp. I tried different settings re preview in Catalog Settings and Preferences, but no success.
    I would like to know, if other users are experiencing anything like that too? Googling I found several such problems described in the past. I wonder, why this apparent bug was not fixed ages ago ...
    Thanks,
    Petr

    Hi, so I did so, no change. Now let's not talk about the difference between Develop and Library modules, but about Library module itself. Why all other previews, e.g. 1:4, 1:2, 1:1 are sharp, Fit mode is sharp, but Fill mode is not? Is there any internal difference to how Fill mode works? I insert the photo here for you to see the difference:

  • Develop settings not showing up in library module view of image

    Hi there
    A quick question about an issue I have not seen before.  Imported a raw image .cr2 file from a Canon S95.  Opened develop module and applied clarity, vibrance and sauration adjustements.  Clicked back to Library module and the adjustments have not been made.  Clicked back to Develop and they are there.  Have tried closing LR5 and reopening - the image adjustments are still visibile in Develop, but not in Library.  Any thoughts?  Is this a software issue or a hardware issue (have just upgraded from LR4).  Thanks in advance.

    Hi Lee - I'll keep LR running for a while to see what happens.  I did notice that when I did the import of the image, the thumbnails of the images from the SD card were not immediately rendered.  it was possible to see the images by clicking on each one.  When I had previewed each image individually, the thumbnails were visible.  I suppose its possible that my hardware is running very slowly as welll.
    Thanks

  • Library module: clicking on filmstrip image does not change image in loupe

    LR 3.4.1, 64 bit, Windows 7
    In the library module, clicking on an image in the filstrip does not update the image viewed in the loupe view. How do I get that behavior back?

    Well, whatever it was, it went away with a reboot. Thank God.

  • Images in loupe view of library module of LR4 are not always focusing. Why?

    Have just upgraded my whole system to get LR4 to work at an acceptable speed- including 16gb ram, 1TB hard disc. When importing RAW images are copying them to DNG and doing 1:1 prewiew at that time. After finishing working in the develop module when I try to look at the images in loupe view in library module many of the images remain unfocused- If i export as jpeg to hard disc they are fine.I need to be able to view ,rate and select images in LR

  • The library module in 4.3 version does not show all the images

    The library module in the version 4.3 of Lightroom does not show all the images. They are marked with gray boxes instead of images. This is especially true of the images which I tried to import to Lightroom since I downloaded 4.3 a few weeks ago. If I want to seen an image, I have to go to the develop module to see it. What should I do?  Get this fixed now!!!!!!!!

    My bet would be on a corrupt preview folder.
    Your preview folder is located in the same folder as your catalog. It has the same name as your catalog with the word Previews.LRDATA at the end of the name. Rename this folder and let Lightroom rebuild the previews. Go to Library>Previews>Render Standard-sized Previews.  See if that fixes it.
    If it doesn't, you may want to have a look here: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/photos-appear-black-gray-rectangles.html

    You've merely inadvertently hidden it.

  • Specific Problem with Library Module 1:1 Preview Loading

    Hi everyone.  I've spent hours searching Google & forums for specific tips to try but I've found nothing that solved my problem.  I have a very specific problem loading 1:1 previews in Lightroom 3.3 while zoomed to 1:1.
    When I initially import a shoot (usually 3000 to 6000 images), I always render 1:1 previews during import.  My understanding is that this activity writes full-sized previews to the "Previews" folder, but I also have observed that .DAT files are created in the "Camera Raw Cache" folder.  I have my Lightroom Previews folder and my Adobe Camera Raw Cache folder on the **same** solid-state hard disk, which is dedicated to Lightroom.
    When I browse these newly-imported images in the Library module in Loupe view at 1:1 zoom, it's very zippy and fast to switch between images.  The images load without any message at a lower resolution, and then "snap" to full resolution after 0.25 to 0.5 seconds. No "Loading" message appears.
    However, once the previews have "sat around for a while", even if they are still supposedly available in the Previews folder, loading the image at 1:1 in Loupe as described takes 3-5 seconds.  Shortly after going to an image, the message "Loading..." is displayed (it doesn't say where from), and 3-5 seconds later, the full res image appears.
    This has nothing to do with changes to image settings requiring re-rendering of the preview.  These are images that I've imported but haven't browsed in a while.  I know that the previews are valid, because I can go to "Library > Previews > Render 1:1 Previews", and the task will complete within 20 or 30 seconds without re-rendering any photos after examining them and apparently finding that there are still valid 1:1 previews for all 4000 of them.  After doing this "re-render," the slow loading behavior is the same as before, because the re-render process always completes without actually updating the previews that it found are already there and presumably decided were still valid.  Discarding previews by "Library > Previews > Discard 1:1 Previews" and then trying to re-render them also does nothing, because LR3 apparently doesn't immediately delete the discarded previews, so they are picked back up again As-Is by the re-rendering process.
    If I had to guess at the reason for this behavior based on the symptoms, I would say that it seems like Lightroom is forcing itself to re-render 1:1 previews upon browsing to images that are older than a certain age (very possibly the same "30 days" after which the 1:1 previews are supposed to be discarded).
    Now, I've also observed that deleting the DAT files in the Camera Raw Cache folder has no adverse impact on load speed (which is what I would have expected to see if LR3 was looking for and loading images from this cache instead of the Previews folder).
    What this means to me is that once the image previews reach this "outdated" state, I can't get fast 1:1 browsing performance in Loupe with any reliable procedure other than manually deleting [in Windows Explorer] the entire Preview folder and then re-rendering the 1:1 previews for this shoot.  This is of course terribly inconvenient when there are recent previews that I want to save.
    Note:  I do not have any slowness under any circumstance when browsing at "Zoom to Fit".  This is only a problem when I'm browsing at 1:1 zoom (like when I'm comparing sharpness between a set of photos).
    Note:  For images with the slow behavior described, once the image has been loaded once at 1:1 zoom, it's henceforth snappy again when returning to the image (as if Lightroom was once again accepting the Preview file as valid).
    So, here's a summary:
    Previews (X:\Lightroom Catalog Previews\) and Camera Raw Cache (X:\Lightroom Cache\) are on same, dedicated, fast drive
    1:1 previews from recently-imported files load full-res at 1:1 zoom in less than 1/2 second.
    Older 1:1 previews take 3-5 seconds to load full-res at 1:1 zoom, even though the previews are supposedly being loaded from still-valid 1:1 previews in the Previews folder.
    I'm really tired, so i hope this makes sense.  I don't see how this could be a hardware problem, because I get good performance with recently-imported images.  I'm running LR3.3 on Win 7 Pro x64 with 8 GB of RAM and a 2.4 GHz Intel Core2 Quad CPU.  Never had LR3 beta installed - upgraded to 3.0 from the last 2.X version.  After upgrading, in response to this exact issue, I deleted my entire previews folder and rebuilt, but I continue to have the exact same problem on every shoot that I import.  It's most noticeable on the large shoots, because I end up having to browse at 1:1 zoom to compare a set of similar images.
    Only workaround I've found:  in Windows Explorer, manually delete the Previews folder.  Return to Lightroom and rebuild 1:1 previews.  This forces the previews to be rebuilt for all images.
    Another possible workaround I am going to experiment with: setting the Previews to "Do Not Discard", in case the defualt "Discard after 30 days" that I've used is causing or contributing to the problem.  If Lightroom is actually discarding the images after 30 days but forgetting that it had discarded them when asked to re-render 1:1's, maybe setting to "Do not discard" will bandage that problem by never discarding them to begin with.
    All right, I'm falling asleep at the keyboard.  I'm afraid to add more details as they may become incoherent.  Hope to hear some good news, as fixing this problem would make my LR3 experience so much more pleasant.
    Can anyone assist with this problem?

    Yes - this is my problem.  Previews should still be valid, and "Library > Previews > Render 1:1 Previews" says the images are still valid, but then Loupe rebuilds them anyways.

    If everything was working correctly, the setting for discard shouldn't have any effect on whether the previews go stale or not. ...
    My understanding is that if everything were working as intended, the "setting for discard" that I was referring to (Edit > Catalog Settings > File Handling > "Automatically Discard 1:1 Previews") should be the sole determinant of whether 1:1 previews must be rebuilt for images with unmodified settings.
    For example, if I import an image and render a 1:1 preview, and if I set the "Auto Discard 1:1" setting to "30 Days", and if I make no changes to the image's settings, then I would expect that the image should render quickly (under 1/2 second) at 1:1 zoom in Loupe view for the next 30 days.  On the 31st day, I would expect the image to take longer to load as a new 1:1 preview was rendered and stored, and then I would expect this new preview to be retained for another 30 days.
    I would furthermore expect that the 30-day counter would be reset every time the image was re-rendered (i.e. if I go into Develop and change something).
    To a certain extent, this is functioning correctly on my system.  When I go to one of these "problem images" that inexplicably load slowly, returning to them subsequently is quick.  I think my problem is just, as Rob suggested, that some part of Lightroom's "brain" has wacky ideas about whether an up-to-date 1:1 preview exists or not.
    If I choose to "Never" automatically discard 1:1 previews (which is what I just switched to), then I should "Never" see unmodified images taking 3-5 seconds to "Load" at 1:1 zoom in Loupe.
    Since I just nuked my Previews folder again last night and re-rendered 1:1's overnight for a 3000 image shoot, it might be a while before I start encountering this bug again.  I will certainly post any further related experiences here and will keep checking for anyone who has further insight.

    Yes, I definitely agree with this (although, the Cache is probably also used while rendering new previews after "Quick Develop" changes in the Library module....).  I posted my observations to this effect just in case someone else wondered the same thing I did.  It is clear that the DAT files get written every time a preview is rendered for RAW file.  Rob, now that I'm thinking with a clearer mind, I think the only thing these Cached files are used for is if you "return" to recently rendered settings in Develop or Quick Develop - then, that particular combination of settings yields a match in the cache, and LR loads the image from the Cache into Previews and onto the screen.  It is logical that the cache wouldn't help us when going to new settings, because the new settings would create a partially or completely different rendering than any other combination of settings.  Adobe may be going to more advanced levels of "reusability" than this, but I'm sure this is the general state of things.
    You may want to open back up write access to that Cache folder...
    Thanks, Rob & Ian!
    So, my question, or bug report, still remains for now - why am I biting into a bag of chips marked "Fresh" and finding them Stale?  And why does it say "Paper Jam" when there is no paper jam?

  • Different view to develop and library module

    Hello everyone, I have a big problem during my workflow, or when working images from the development at the end of the work as the images are like me and very sharp. But when I see in the library module are not sharp and the blacks are very mordibi. Below I post the link to see for yourself.
    MODULE DEVELOPMENT:
    MODULE LIBRARY:
    The problem is that when I export my image is identical to the form LIBRARY and not that beautiful clear form DEVELOPMENT. So I find myself not export images with crisp blacks and dishes.
    I already tried to delete the cache, but does not change anything, and I use 1:1 previews, you have no idea how to fix my problem?

    Ah, now I see the rightside of that screenshot, with, as you say, sharpening 150 and NR 0. That's a combo it would never even occur to me to use, not in a hundred years...
    Anyway, I tried this with an ISO 1250 shot, but couldn't see any differences anywhere. But maybe you need to go higher.
    I've learned to never take anything for granted when reviewing LR forum posts. An ISO 1250 shot is probably too low with most DSLR cameras to see this issue. On my 5D MKII I could really only see the "lightening" between Develop and Library views with ISO 6400 raw images. It may also show up at lower ISO settings with images that are heavily underexposed (i.e. LR Exposure +1 and greater), and with smaller sensor cameras (1.6 crop, P&S).
    Gianlu24, keep in mind that Adobe increased the Sharpening amount from '100' in LR3 to '150' in LR4 when using a high 'Masking' setting. For most normal images and Masking settings you should use a Sharpening amount below '100.' There are two basic types–Capture and Output sharpening, each adjusted using separate controls. In addition you can apply both Global and Local Capture Sharpening in LR. These three articles by Laura Shoe may be helpful:
