Hello,

I'm seeing colors change in several of my photo files, and am worrying about possible file corruption. This is occurring with many, but not all of my files - often (but not always) those which have been edited in Photoshop.

In particular, areas which should be black - and were in the past - now have have blue spots/splotches. Sometimes, it is red splotches which appear in light areas

The files look normal in the library module, but the splotches appear when shifting to the develop module, but they then disappear in soft proofing.

I tried reverting back to an older library catalog, but saw no change in this behavior.

Is there some setting I am perhaps missing, for example one which highlights grossly over or under exposed areas???

I'm attaching screen shots of an example, the first is the picture as it appears in the library module, the second is in the develop module, and the third is in soft proofing.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be very much appreciated!

There is nothing wrong with your image files.

You have under/over-exposure warnings turned on. Red areas are overexposed, blue areas are underexposed. Look at the histogram in the Develop module. There will be clickable icons in the upper corners to turn this feature on or off.

Thank you very much!!

I was hoping it was something as simple as some warning setting...but I couldn't find where to change those settings. Having done so now, everything is back to normal!

Very much appreciated!!
