Crazy Color Clipping when using Color Balance Live Adjustment > Shadows into Neg %s

[debraspicher]

It's hard to explain without video, but basically I load a RAW file (embedded) and I add a Color Balance Adjs layer in and go to Shadows... if I go below 0% (into the negatives), it causes crazy color clipping (I wouldn't be surprised if this is shifting straight to -100%).

Anyway, I'd like to share the sample file as well as a video I recorded of the issue. *However, I need a place to upload privately*

For reference, I copy & pasted these layers (everything except color balance in case the instance of it was glitched) into non-beta Photo, and the color balance works like normal when added...

I'm also not quite sure on recurrence. It seems to be related to RAW embeds, but I'm not 1000% sure.

I'm not seeing that with one sample on my iPad. But it is giving some interesting (and as far as I know correct) effects that I didn't know about, and that I'm going to experiment further with for some creative images  

Thanks, Debra!

Should be subtle effects and not color puke 😂 I will hopefully reproduce with a non sensitive image today

I tried making a document similar to your description but it seems fine for me. Here's a private folder  - https://www.dropbox.com/request/G2pbvHgKEoZONUosTMFw

Being able to move into the negative is normal with the Color Balance filter in particular. It's more that it acts like it is immediately offset -100%.

In this case, it's a RGB/16 NEF RAW that shows the problem. I will go ahead and upload it. Funny enough, when  I open a jpg/png, for example, it's not showing this issue. It is showing in another NEF document).

Thanks. I uploaded 3 files. (One I had to search for separately). Let me know if they all went through.

Thanks for the files  

I think this is an issue with the sRGB Virtual Profile (wsRGB.cdmp) and Hardware Acceleration - if you set your profile to sRGB (non-virtual) the issue should not occur. I'll feed this back to dev.

Can you confirm your driver for the 30 series card? Myself and a colleague also have 30 series cards in our work machines and cannot reproduce the issue after updating the driver.

I use AdobeRGB generally and convert to sRGB IEC61966-2.1, but that is at export time using a preset. I've seem the wsRGB profile in my list, but don't see where it would come into play in this case. My current setup:

I'm currently on 527.56. Edit: **Disabling HA does fix the issue** I'll go ahead and update. FWIW, it doesn't have the issue with clipping in current release. In fact, I copy and pasted into current release so I could finish out the edits...

Check your Windows settings, specifically the Display settings, and see what profile is assigned to your monitor. I think that @Chris B is suggesting that he's seeing evidence that your system is set to use the virtual profile.

Hmm. I haven't updated calibrations recently (though they're both due), so should still be what it was set to before. Screenies below:

For shits and giggles, I did do a refresh to see if it was a corruption issue. (and because it's a beta so it doesn't really matter)

Anyway, just refreshed & updated the driver and we're back in business ❤️ Thanks @Chris B

Brilliant 😀
