Title: Develop not working in LR6
Post by: AlfSollund on April 26, 2015, 05:24:27 am
Hi,

The develop module in my LR6 is not working. The is only displayed a blue screen with a large cross across frame. I can see photo in window at upper left hand i develop module. Photos are shown in Library module. This problem applies to all my photos, both previous imports and one import after upgrade.

I have upgraded from LR5.x with normal download / installation without errors. I have also tried to de-install and install again. I am running Win8.

Any help / suggestions would be appreciated.

It’s difficult to know what to suggest except perhaps reinstall Lightroom 6 ?

In Preferences, Performance, what's shown?

There's a very similar case here - https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1823455

So try updating the graphics card drivers and/or disabling it in the Preferences / Performance tab.

Thanks for help!

I had the latest version of graphics driver (Ib\ntel HD Garphics 4000 on a Samsung S9 laptop), but unchecking 'use graphics processor' in preferences - performance tab fixed this. I assume this means that I will not get the full performance enhancement?

You may not be missing much. There's several reports here that enabling GPU acceleration has some penalties too.

Do read Eric Chan's GPU notes for Lightroom CC (2015) (https://forums.adobe.com/message/7480830#7480830) where he talks about the pros and cons.

Thanks for posting this link, John.  As usual, Eric's explanation is very clear.  (Although I wish he had been a bit more explicit about some of the implementation details.)
