Library Module view of Photo different than Develop Module Version

I'm sooooo frustrated. I'v worked on a .NEF file using Topaz Lab's Adjust4, then Denoise then Photoshop CS5, each time it saves an new version of my file in Lightroom, I have about 6 of them.
Problem....when I scroll through pictures in develop, the pictures look perfect (noise reduction, excellent colors and contrast, the way I expect it to look after my adjustments), then about 1-2 seconds later it changes to a noisy, less contrasty and less colorful version).
If I switch to Library mode the pictures looks good again. If I export, though, it exports the Develop module version that doesn't look good. The whole thing is very hit and miss, sometimes Library looks good, then other times it looks like Develop. If I zoom to 1:1, then both version look bad permanently.
I just want to export and use the Library version of the file. Also, I cannot recreate the look using any combination of Lightroom adjustment, which strongly suggests that the Library version I am viewing is the result of my Plug-in and Photoshop work.
I've read that the initial view may be the JPG version of the shot, but I don't think so, it looks way better than the other JPG's that came out of the camera at the same event.
Help

Its possible the thumbnail is viewing the edited version that was created via the camera. Lets say you made a change in the camera such as sepia for example. When you first load the image into LR it will be displayed as sepia, but a few seconds later, it will remove those changes giving you the raw image.
In the develope module it ignores the camera changes and you must recreate the changes in the develop module. When you are done, its a good idea to save the file (ctrl-s on windows) which saves the changes to the sidecar file, should you need to see the changes in Bridge for example.

    I have lightroom 5.7 and a macbook pro 10.9.5.  Occasionally when I am editing a photo in the develop module, I suddenly get a "file not found" message and the editing ceases to work.  There is no "exclamation" icon below the histogram box in the Library module or on the photo in grid view, and the histogram is gone.  What is going on?

  • Red splotches on photos in LR5 Develop Module

    I get red and blue splotches on photos in LR5 Develop Module. Seems to be mainly in bright areas of photos. Not there in Library module. I noticed this in the Beta as well but thought it would be fixed before release. In LR4.4 everything is fine.

    Turn the clipping indicators off in the Histogram in the develop module.  The are the little triangles in the upper left and right corners of the histogram.

  • Set Desktop Photo different than Iphoto version

    When I choose a photo to "set desktop," it appears differently than the one in Iphoto. It is overly saturated.
    I'm using a 22" external monitor when I see this, resolution set at 1680x1050, 60Hz, millions.
    The picture looks good in emails and Preview. I would like to see my "real" photo on the desktop!
    Any ideas?

    Thank you. I tried what you suggested and didn't make any difference. However, when I got my new imac, I didn't migrate the contents of my macbook across immediately and started downloading games, etc onto the imac. I later migrated the contents across and my imac made a new account- my name with the number 1 after it. So I now have two accounts on the imac. I have just logged back into the original account to find a game (the two user accounts are driving me crazy!) and the original picture on the desktop looks great! So it is only fuzzy on the second (main) account. AAAaaaah!

  • Yosemite Mail Sets IMAP Flags differently than earlier Mail Versions

    Since converting to Yosemite, our junk mail filtering system (a copy of Thunderbird running 24/7 on our Linux server) has not worked.   We get over 1,000 pieces of Spam per day and use this setup to screen the junk before reading on our iPhones.
    After hours of debugging I discovered that when Yosemite Mail initially downloads a message from the IMAP server (we use HostGator), Yosemite Mail sets the IMAP Flags on the server to be NonJunk    $NotJunk    NotJunk 
    Yosemite Mail does this before any message is viewed.
    This is very different than Mavericks and earlier versions of Mail.  In those earlier versions, no IMAP server Flags were set when a message was downloaded.  The same is for the current version of iOS on my iPhone; no IMAP server Flags are set.
    The problem is that the three versions a "Not Junk" flag set by Yosemite Mail are confusing Thunderbird and probably other Mail clients.
    Does anyone know a way to stop to Yosemite Mail from setting these flags?   I filled a bug report with Apple, but am not optimistic...

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:  
    ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu.* A folder may open, or you may get an error message that the item can't be found. Either result is normal. If the folder does open and has contents, move the contents to the Desktop. Relaunch Mail and test. If there's no change, put the contents of the folder back and quit Mail again.
    2. Repeat with this line:
    /Library/Mail/Bundles
    This time you may be prompted for your administrator login password when you remove the items. Make sure they're removed from the folder and not just copied to the Desktop. If necessary, copy them first and then move the originals to the Trash.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Library Preview displays at lower resolution than Develop Preview

    I recently bought a Nikon D7100.
    I took some test shots and imported the images to Lightroom 4.4, then generated 1:1 previews for all the images.
    Previews zoomed to 1:1 in Library Mode are noticeably soft.  The image below is a screen shot of the Library preview:
    Moving to Develop View produces a higher-resolution 1:1 preview.  The image below is a screen shot of the Develop preview:
    Look at the bricks and window screens to see the difference.
    This difference occurs immediately after import (with a User Preset applied during import).  Once any Develop work is done, the Library preview updates and displays at full resolution.
    This problem makes doing initial editing/selection of images time consuming, because I can't determine the sharpness/quality of imported images until I've done some kind of Develop adjustment on each image.
    If anyone has a circumvention or solution to this problem I will appreciate receiving it.
    Thanks,

    You said "then generated 1:1 previews for all the images," so I assume you manually selected Library> Previews> Render 1:1 Previews from inside the Libray module. Selecting 'Render Previews : 1:1' in the LR Import module under 'File Handling' will automatically render the previews on import.
    There are two possibilites why you are seeing low-res 1:1 Library previews:
    1) The Previews were still being created in the background after import, and you are trying to edit images that  do not yet have a 1:1 preview.
    2) You inadvertently cancelled the 1:1 preview rendering process by a) closing the progress bar in the upper lefthand, or b) closing LR before completion of 1:1 Preview Rendering.
    I would NOT reccomend discarding 1:1 Previews since that will create the very situation you are complaing about in this post. If you are low on hard drive free space then this recommendation would be helpful.

  • Keep Preview for quick Viewing of PHotos rather than Photoshop

    I just loaded Photoshop Elements 4.0 and am learning it. Unfortunately, for photos I may have on my desktop, everytime I want to view one by clicking on it, Photoshop elements loads which takes time. I really would prefer only the preview from Mac to use for quick viewing. I tried resetting preferences back but it did not work. any help would be greatly appreciated. have a wonderful new year.
    Skip

    From the finder, click on one photo to select it and then go to File/GetInfo. Scroll down slightly and look for "Open with..." You can set each photo individually to open with Preview or configure to open all documents of that type (jpg) to open with Preview (or any other app of your choice).

  • Browser view in Dreamweaver different than IE view on other PCS

    I'm setting up a new webpage.  The page layout, fonts, etc. look great on my page in Dreamweaver CS4 and also when I use the preview in browser tool.
    I then publish my page out to our Intranet - still looks good to me.  However, everyone else in our office is seeing it differently.  The fonts are different, the navigation buttons appear different, some of the colors are different.  Looks horrible compared to the page I created.  Any suggestions??

    Without seeing the page, we can only guess.
    Did you upload the CSS file with the page?

  • Problem: design view looks completely different than live view

    I am trying to make changes to my home page in Dreamweaver, and when I am viewing the page in 'design view' the background image for the container is missing, and the divs are all over the place. When I view the same page in live view and in browser preview, it looks fine.
    Because I can't really see what the page is going to look like in 'design view', I can't really make changes to the site. Any help would be much appreciated.

  • I do not have that "Firefox Tab" in the top left corner of my browser like it is shown in the video. Why is my version of 4.0 different than the demo version?

    After watching the demo video today, I noticed that my browser does not look like the one depicted in the video. For instance, there is no "Firefox" tab in the upper left corner like on the video.

    The new interface is only default on Windows Vista and Windows 7. To get it on Windows XP you need to hide the menu bar. To do that in the View menu select Toolbars, then click on the "Menu Bar" entry.
    If you need access to the menus you can press either Alt or F10 to temporarily display them.

  • Is iTunes for a Mac really any different than the Windows version?

    My friend wants to know and I don't have a Mac computer. Is the Mac version faster? Easier to use? Does it have additional features?
    Thanks

    Exactly the same feature-wise except the Mac version of iTunes can't import and convert WMA files.
    And because Apple knows exactly what hardware goes into its machines, you're less likely to run into problems ripping and burning CDs on the Mac--at least, that's the impression I've gotten from reading the many threads in the Windows iTunes forum about burning problems.

  • Photos in Library module and after export look different than in Development module

    Hello,
    I experience a problem.
    After I update photos in the Development module, the updates seem not to be shown in the Library module. And when I subsequently export to Flickr, Flickr is also showing the original photo, not the adapted one.
    I noticed this the first time after making Blacks a bit deeper, causing a sunflower to become a deeper yellow. I thought that my adaptations were not applied in the Library module. After I checked with cranking down the Saturation all the way back (to almost black-and-white), that adaptation WAS applied in the Library view. So it had to be something else, causing the same color difference between the Library and Development modules.
    When I switch from the Library module to the Development module, I see a slight delay in applying my changes, but they are applied. Before they are applied, I can see that the original photo is shown and that looks the same as in the Library module and on Flickr.
    The photostrip on the bottom of the Lightroom screen also shows the original photos only, unless I go to the development module and select a photo (adaptations are applied in the photostrip after I select the photo, not before).
    After I played a bit more in the Development module, I found something strange in the Camera Calibration menu of the Development module. The Adobe Profile (my default) caused an obvious color difference between the Library (less saturated) and the Development (more saturated) modules. The Camera Standard profile also showed a (very) slight difference, but I was unable to notice the differences using the other profiles.
    So I was thinking (but it's only a guess), that the profiles are not applied in the Library view and on export, but they are in the Development module?
    I use Lightroom 5.6, Camera RAW 8.6.
    Please help me, as this is very annoying. I currently cannot export my photos to Flickr or anywhere else, unless I overcompensate before exporting. And I really don't want to do that. My Lightroom photo is my perfect photo, and I want to keep it that way...
    Many thanks in advance for any help,
    Peter

    Hi ssprengel,
    Thanks for your reply. Let me react to each possibility you mention and provide some extra information.
    - "Check your Export / File Settings / Image Format and make sure they are set to JPG not Original". Done that, it's not on Original, but on jpg. This would not explain why I see the difference in the Library and Development modules, by the way. But better to know for sure.
    - "...the most likely thing that is wrong is your color-management on your computer is not working properly". It is a PC with Windows 7. I have been using Lightroom for maybe 6 years and I never had this problem before. The last time I changed my setup is more than a year ago and this problem only started to happen a short while ago (after the update to Lightroom 5.6? I'm not sure, but that's the only thing that has changed lately). I use a Spider to create a custom profile that is correct for my setup and do a regular update on the profile.
    - "what brand and model of monitor do you have?" I have an EIZO FlexScan S2411W and use that for a long time as well. I chose this brand of monitors for its good color reproduction and I have been happy with it for years now.
    What I am not getting is why would all this show a difference between the Library and Development module? The only difference is the Lightroom software that is switching from one module to another, and that should deliver the same photo. I'm also stating in my first post that the differences are very noticeable using the Adobe Standard Camera Profile in the Development module. I have a feeling that the profile is part of the problem.

  • Photos in Develop module look different when switching to library module

    Hello everyone this is my first post on adobe.  I ran into a problem today for the first time using lightroom 5.  I recently purchased lightroom 5 about 2 weeks ago and have been in love using it.  I have ran into 0 problems until today.  I uploaded some new photos and was going through them under the develop module editing the photos and what not.  When I am done editing I usually go to the library module and export them.
    Today I tried to do that exact thing and ran into this issue:  the colors in the photo are changing ever so slightly when I switch to the library module and are not exporting exactly as I edited them in the develop module. 
    I have tried changing the contrast/clarity to see if it would remain when switching and it does.  But for some reason the yellow on the flower in the picture becomes less vibrant when seen/exported from library module.  It is very frustrating because I spend alot of time editing the photo in a develop module and every transfers but the colors it seems.  It becomes more dull and less vibrant.
    It is not the photo itself.  I think it is something wrong with my lightroom?  I uninstalled and reinstalled and the same issue keeps happening.

    Just to clarify. When you compare the exported image to the original inside LR do they look the same when viewed together in the Library module, and how about when both are viewed in the Develop module? Are you using a wide gamut monitor and do you also use a hardware monitor calibrator? All of these things affect how images looks in LR and some are fixable, but others are not as Web Weaver posted.
    There is also another issue that can cause the Library module view and exported images to look different than they do in the Develop module:
    http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/afm8rbh6tnc31
    The solution is to view the image at 1:1 (100%) view size. You can also use more conservative Sharpening settings (i.e. lower) and more aggressive Luminance Noise Reduction settings (i.e. higher), which will significantly decrease the view difference.

  • Photos in develop module are different then when in the library.

    When i'm editing photos in the develop module they look really clear and good. When i switch to the library, they have a lot of noise and look nothing like how I edited them. I am using lightroom 4 for my mac. It's annoying to have to switch between the develop module and library to see what they are going to look like.

    The differences in most cases are unoticeable however I am getting this banding effect on a BW image I am editing and it is very difficult to tell if it is there or not in the the real image.  In Library it shows up as this magenta band in tonal differences and in develop it isnt there.  I looked at the image on my laptop and it doesnt show up there in Bridge but it does show up on Lightroom in the Library module. 
    This is pretty lame considering I would be sending this file out to get printed and hoping no banding shows up.  I don't like guessing, that is why my monitor is calibrated etc. 
    If anyone has a similar issue or fix let me know.
