Image edited in Photoshop and saved, imported to Lightroom but now includes discolored rectangles

[jasonl79951632]

I recently edited a photo from my Lightroom catalog in Photoshop.  I then saved it as a TIFF.  It automatically imported the photo exactly where it should, but on the right side of the image, there are now semi-transparent red and cyan rectangles.  I don't see these in Photoshop, but they're visible in Lightroom.  Does anyone know what might be causing this?

Probably a bug, there have been similar reports.

Try this. In Photoshop Preferences - Performance, check the option to use 'Legacy Compositing'.

One other option to try:

Close Lightroom and restart it - sometimes, a file does not completely load right away and the preview you get is only partial!

Did PS create any layers, and did you flatten/merge the layers, or did you go for the larger, more complex layered file? Should not be the issue, but perhaps point to a symptom.

Closing and reopening Lightroom didn't work.  Saving the file in another place and re-importing didn't work.  Using 'Legacy Compositing' and reimporting into Lightroom fixed the issue. 

It was a layered file.  I made multiple adjustment layers in Photoshop and saved it as a layered file in case I wanted to tweak the adjustments again later.

Was this likely a bug that Legacy Compositing worked around?

Yes. Because Lightroom does not support layers, it reads the composite that is saved as well. But there seems to be a bug in the new way that Photoshop creates this composite.
