Strange presentation in the lightroom

I haven’t seen anything like this before. I edited the image and went to lightroom to export it for posting. The presentation in lightroom looks extremely washed out. But when I exported it, the output looks normal. The display of it in lightroom still looks washed out.

Here is the exported output image. It looks fine.

But here is a screenshot of it in my lightroom.

I must have fumble fingered something, but I have no idea what it could be. None of my other photos look like that. Does anyone know?

Did you leave darkroom with a position low in the history list selected??

I’ll check…

I don’t think so. When I double-clicked it back into darkroom the highest history item was selected. So I went way down, clicked Demosaic, then re-clicked the top of the history. Then I went back to the lighttable, and it still looks washed out. Thanks, though.

No idea that would have been my guess. I guess you can remove it and re import it to force it to update the preview??

But I have fixed it with what you said in mind. I did another minor change in one of the processing modules, so it went to the top of the list. I went back the the lighttable, and now the image appears normally.

Thanks again!

PS - No. When I went back to the lighttable, it was in full color, but the moment I moved the mouse, it went back to faded.

maybe the thumbnail crawler got to it?

My 2c but it looks like it was selected for rejection.

Exactly my guess also

I agree that it was probably selected for rejection. Here is the image selected for rejection on my computer. BTW, I just export in the darkroom mode since the export module is found there as well. Then while it is exporting I am already moving on to the next image. I only use the lighttable view to copy or move images. I even use the darkroom view for culling because I can check for raw clipping.

Thanks. That was it.

“As rejecting an image removes the currently-applied star rating, you can undo the rejection by clicking x or pressing R again.” This from the Star Ratings section of the documentation. I must have really fumble fingered it, as I do not use star ratings.

All good now.

You can enable permanent overlays, which makes such markers easier to see (but uses space and makes the lighttable more cluttered):
