Lightroom Classic CC: All my images look grainy and it crashes all the time

After I upgraded from Lightroom CC to Lightroom Classic CC all my images look grainy. Even when shot at ISO 100. It is really disturbing and I'm not sure what to do. I never had that issue with older LR versions. I updated older catalogs and the issue is the same with those photos. Images that looked great are all grainy now.

Also, LR Classic crashes at least 4-5 times while editing a wedding. So annoying. Anyone having similar issues? Or know how to correct them?

There is a bug with certain graphics cards with indeed images looking grainy. Try turning off GPU acceleration in Preferences->Performance and see if that fixes the graininess.

Oh my goodness. That made such a big difference. Who knew?! Will it have influence on the performance? Or what happens if I keep it turned off?

If only now the crashes would stop!!

You probably won't notice any difference or problem at all. The GPU support was added to Lightroom primarily for those who have 4k or 5K high-resolution monitors.

Performance should be somewhat better in Classic with it on as it now does a lot more on the graphics card than it used to do before where it only made a difference on very high res screens. Nowadays it makes a difference almost anywhere. However, if you need to choose between more accurate display and speed I would choose accurate display. I don't have this problem but have now seen many people on the forum with the problem.

Hi Sascha,

Please provide your system info. you can find it under Help->System Info ...
Please update your graphics card driver to the latest version and try.
