Lightroom 3.4 distorts images in Develop

May 16, 2011 11:52 AM

This problem started when I updated to Lightroom 3.4 on my new Windows 7 Toshiba Portege R700 laptop. I did not experience it with prior revs of Lightroom 3 on the same laptop. Here are the symptoms:

 

  • When I enter Develop, then some of my images stretch upwards when displayed on a second large monitor if the image is as wide as possible, and stretch sideways (inwards) on my laptop monitor if the image is already as tall as the laptop monitor allows. in either case, the image is distorted so that it is appears taller and thinner. When I exit back to Library mode then the image is normal in appearance again.
  • Some images do the opposite and stretch downwards!
  • The files are all RAW. It appears to be a problem only with Olympus RAW (.orf) files and not with Canon RAW (cr2).

 

  • The same thing happens when I disconnect the secondary display.
  • I can do this multiple times.
  • I took an image, made a virtual copy, reset it and the same thing still happens.
  • There is another similar post where the solution was to start with a fresh preview file. I tried that and it did not work (I closed lightroom, renamed the preview file, and then openned Lightroom again forcing it to create a fresh preview file.
  • One some images, I find that my mask has shifted over. For example, I have an image where I desaturate everything apart from the main figure. Now, the main figure is partially desaturated, as if the mask has moved sideways when I export the image.
