In Adobe Lightroom, my photo looks normal in Library, but when I switch to Develop it appears like a color negative and I don’t see my usual presets. What setting could cause this, and how do I get the normal view back?

You may have accidentally enabled the visualize spots feature, either by pressing A in Develop mode or checking the box below the photo while the spot removal tool was selected. (Q)

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
This is usually caused by one of two settings:
-
Visualize Spots is turned on in the Develop module. This can happen if you pressed A while using the Spot Removal tool, or if the Visualize Spots checkbox below the image was enabled. Turn that off to restore the normal image view.
-
GPU acceleration is causing a display issue. In Lightroom, go to Edit > Preferences > Performance and uncheck Use Graphics Processor.
If the image only looks wrong in Develop, start by checking Visualize Spots first, since that intentionally changes the display.
