Hi, I’m using a Benq SW271 4k high quality monitor calibrated using a Spider5 but most of the photos in the thumbnail view have a blue haze. Once you open the photo you get a totally different view. Looks like Luminar is having issues with the use of the icc profile of the monitor. Is this something which can be solved.
Very annoying.....

  Hi Michel,

  Thanks for reaching out. 

  Please note that Luminar 3 generates the Previews on the base of the embedded JPEGs (RAWs contain what's called an embedded JPEG - it's a JPEG with automatic adjustments applied by the camera) but when you switch to the Edit mode, it uploads the RAW file thus showing you the file as it is. 

  Moreover, please note that Luminar 3 is color managed. It means that Luminar 3 interprets which color profile is selected on your OS  and adjusts to it. You may try removing the calibrated profile to see whether it changes the situation. 

  If you would like us to investigate it further, please, reach us at https://skylum.com/support and paste the link to this thread in the request.

  Hi,

  I only observe this issue with Luminar. All other softwares I tried, use are showing the photo previews correctly. Nikon ViexNX-i, Adobe Lightroom, Synology Photo station,....

  And also, it is not only the RAW images who are affected also JPEG show this behaviour.

  Windows colour space set to AdobeRGB as Benq monitor has a hardware calibration inside the monitor (so it does not use the windows icm profile)
