Hi all,
I am a new user of Lightroom. I have this odd situation that when I import my NEF-files into Lightroom and then want to develop my pictures, that a grey film seem to cover my photo without any corrections made. It is visible when you turn on the Before/After Tool. Before looks much more grey than After.
I discovered that this occurs when my calibrated monitor profile is used. If I turn on my custom monitor profile Before and After look similar. I do not want to use this custom profile that came along with my computer. I want my screen calibrated so I can see what I am doing with my pictures. But I can't now in Lightroom. Photoshop Camera Raw is working perfectly fine.
Anyone any suggestions?
What I don't understand is why Lightroom uses a monitor profile instead of Adobe RGB for the Before feature?
Lightroom always uses the monitor profile, and it can also have problems with a profile that works fine with Photoshop.
A simple test to check if there is something wrong with the monitor profile is to set it to sRGB (or Adobe RGB if you have a wide gamut monitor) See http://www.lightroomqueen.com/articles-page/how-do-i-change-my-monitor-profile-to-check-whether-its-corrupted/

Your calibrated profile is corrupted. Make a new one and test.

Same thing when I calibrated yesterday (13 feb). Maybe my device is not working properly (i1 Display Pro).
Calibrating both my iMac and Macbook Pro with the same device...both this issue.

Make sure that you are saving a version 2 icc profile when you run the calibration, and not version 4.
Version 4 profiles are not compatible with Lightroom.
I don't have the i1 Display Pro, but there should be an option somewhere to set the profile version.

I am always using Version 2 so got that covered. Here are some of my settings in i1Profiler...
What I don't understand is why Lightroom uses a monitor profile instead of Adobe RGB for the Before feature? iMac is a medio 2011 monitor.

I would suggest that you turn off ADC in the profiler software and re-profile your monitor.

Try this: Go into Preferences>Performance and uncheck Use Graphic Processor. Any better?
