RAW images initially load clear, and then snap to blurry

Hi aaron;

Well; … welcome to the club.
What you’ve discovered is already discussed ‘‘thing’’ in PL. Check the second link and scrool down.
You will find two printscreen images I’ve posted. One from PL and second from LR. Image preview in PL is slightly blurry and LR preview is sharp.

Blurry Correction Previews

Does anyone else experience soft correction previews 70% zoom and below when they appear much sharper at 80% and above? I have previously culled some of my images thinking they were soft they should have been but I have now found they are actually good. Clearly something to bear in mind if you are using PL to choose which images are worth processing. Have also checked this in OP11 and find the same issue is there as well.

Sharpen The Zoomed Out Preview

Please sharpen the zoomed out preview in both library & edit mode. It’s quite poor for such an advanced raw editor. Or at least provide a check box to enable high resolution preview when zoomed out. One of the first things that hit me with PhotoLab 3 after using Lightroom for so long, was how blurred the preview is when zoomed out in both library and edit mode. It’s fine when at 100% or zoomed in, but the poor overview makes things look out of focus when they really aren’t.

PS:
I’m not saying LR is better. It’s just an observation. When the image is ‘’Fit on screen’’ LR preview of the image is sharp and PL preview of the image is slightly blurred.
