I noticed a variation of #1 with my Dell 2405 attached with a mini-display adapter to anew Core i7 27″ iMac. Not the lines Matt mentioned but definitely jagged edges/pixelization on 1:1 Zooms (used for sharpening parameters). Same images on same monitor connected to Mac Book Pro 2nd Gen Intel (DVI-D connector) don’t do this. I thought it was the video adapter/driver, but maybe the OS itself?

Any other ideas or updates on this issue?

I have the same set up and the same problem. Any suggestions? I’ve updated everything!

Photoshop has always treated 16 bit files in that manner. I simply change to 8 bit in photoshop make edits and then back to 16 bit before saving.

I see that you were able to install Snow Leopard, the new Epson (R2400 in my case) drivers and run successfully in LR (2.5 in my case).

I am now able to print, however, my print images are a good deal darker than my calibrated monitor (Spider 3).

This was not the case previously, however, I made so many changes (following “good” advice on the internet, new apple 10/22 drivers, delete printer folders, etc., etc.) just to get my printer to work, that I am not sure that I did not introduce some other issue. (Originally my print request produced an error and following the initial Epson driver update would just start the print and then “finish” with no error message, but no print either).

Now, as I said, I am printing but darker and not really matching my LR color.

Help, advice, directions?

Many thanks

Anyone got any info when adobe will fix this issue ?

I have been in contact with the not so great support team, and they ignore my questions and starts talking about other issues (its funny reading, they now call me Spence as well).

I am in a world of trouble with calibration issues with Snow Leopard. Firstly my calibration does not seem to “stick” after restart. I have a Macbookpro 17″ and a 23″ Cinema display and cannot get a decent calibration with a Spyder2 pro. Also, I am noticing heavy pixelation in my photos where there is a gradation between black and dark greys in all programs including Safari. It is particularly bad in photos where I have used the Lightroom brushes to drop the exposure in parts of my images. Apple seems to have royally screwed up on colour. Is anyone else having these kind of issues on calibrated displays? Oh, another related issue is if you try to do a screen recording with a calibrated display with quicktime screen recorder – all the colours are inverted!

I’ve just noticed that only happens when the brush is bigger than 9,8.

Any clues?

I’m using Windows 7 and Lightroom 2.5 and I’m having some isues with the “Adjustment brush”.

The brush cursor is not well drawn.
I get like “half circule and half plus”.

The tool works ok, but the cursor is terrible.

Any ideas?

BTW, also happened with the 2.4 version.

I was wondering if it makes any difference to start up my system in 64 bit Kernel Mode. By the way you need to press and hold the 6 and 4 keys when you start up your Mac.

Everything worked normal, except when I run multiple exports, LR crashed. I changed back to 32 bit Kernel mode and it worked fine.

LR is still a 64 bit App if you set it that way, see post Nr. 22 here in the comments.

I didn’t see this mentioned, but if you do a “Get Info” (Command-i) on the LR app, you’ll see a checkbox that says “Open in 32-bit mode” that’s checked by default. Uncheck that box, and the next time you open LR, it runs in 64-bit mode! Makes LR that much faster on Snow Leopard.
