Color change after exporting from Lightroom

I noticed a drastic color change after exporting a file from Lightroom to a JPEG file today. I have been using Lightroom for a while, and it never happened before. I am assuming that I changed the setting somehow and I cannot find how to fix it.
Here is the original.
After exporting to a JPEG. The color is so drastically different. I tried both sRGB and AdobeRGB and they turn out to have the same problem.
It is not as clear as JPEG files, but edited files with Photoshop CS5 also looks slightly different viewed on Lightroom.
I would appreciate it if anyone could help me.  Thank you so much for your help!

Thanks everyone for looking into my problem!
>Can you upload a sample of each
>* Raw File
>* XMP Sidecar
>* Exported JPEG
I somehow can't find XMP sidecar files in my folders.... So instead, I exported the JPEG file to the 2nd JPEG file, hoping you can compare those two JPEG files.
The colors get lighter and lighter every time I export the files. I uploaded those files (RAW, 1st JPEG, 2nd JPEG) on line. I also changed the file samples from the original post because I can't add watermarks.
I checked my flles, but there is no preset applied to the JPEGs.
I am thinking of unistallng Lightroom and reinstalling it and see what happens.
Thanks!

  • Color change on exporting from lightroom and saving in Photoshop CS5

    I have been having issues with my pictures with color management.    I have Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS5.  I thought over the last 2 years that it was just me.   I have bought a Eizo monitor with a hood, calibrate with a i1display pro, painted my walls gray, updated my strobes from alien bees to elinchrome bxri's.   Updated my sekonic meter to a L 758.   Have done custom white balance with gray card, expodisc, xrite kits.   The problem has been over the years when I work on a picture in lightroom and export it as jpeg or adobe rgb it gets saved to my external hardrive and the colors are really bad !!   You can go back and compare the picture in lightroom to the picture on my iomega external drive and there is a significant difference.   I do some animal photography and I had a dog that had brown fur and when I export it out of lightroom the dogs fur is actually a bright very orange color.  Same thing happens with skin tones.     When I import the photos into lightroom the pictures look ok.       The same thing is happening when I go from lightroom to photoshop the picture color looks good but when I go to File-save as - tiff or jpeg the colors are changing.   It does not matter what color space I am in I have tried them all it is still happening.    If anyone has any insight that would be great.

             Thanks everyone for the help.   I have only been doing photography for about 2 years and the color managment part has been my hardest thing to get right.   My monitor ColorEdge CG243W LCD.   Wide color gamut of 98%.  Has a sensor on front of monitor that detects ambient brightness but this will only work if you are in a custom color mode.  Modes are: custom,  sRGB,DCI,EBU, Cal1.   I use the Cal 1 to be able to use the Colornavigator software that came with the monitor.  You also have to be in custom color mode to be able to manually adjust brightness, contrast, temperature on the monitr itself which I do not use because I use the Cal 1 mode.   I was not sure about the digital input signals.   I am on the DVI-I in which this allows digital signal input and analog signal input.    There is a DVI-D mode that allows only digital input only.    Also did not know if I needed to be concerned about setting the frequency that corresponds to the grahic board in the monitor ?    My bandwith was set to normal and now is on wide.   My digital input is for 1920x1200 resolution.   Appicable signal is Vesa CVT RB.  Frequency is 60 Hz.   Yes I did call Eizo twice last year when I got my monitor and did not get very far.     I have also called and spoke to a color specialist at my lab and told him the problems I have been having and he just told me to leave everything in sRGB.   Well I would like to get the most from my monitor's color gamut and when working on my pictures so that is why I am still determined to get this figured out.  
    I use the i1 Dislpay Pro hardware to calibrate with and the ColorNavigator software.     When calibrating.   I go to create a new target---select enter manually--Gamut ( monitor native--states recommended)--Brightness 100cd---White point (6500k)--set black level (recommemded states mininum 0.2)---gamma 2.20---priority (set automatically to standard, this adjusts gray balance while maintaining the contrast)---then I hit calibrate and it goes through the process.   The results I get are:                                            Target                                               Result
                          Brightness                                        100cd                                              99.9cd
                           Black Level                                    minimum                                       0.15cd
                          contrast ratio                                                                                            647:1

  • Colors change after exporting from 5.2 upgrade

    I did not have this problem prior to upgrading to Lightroom 5.2
    I import .jpg photos into lightroom, adjust brighness and colors, export photos. All of the exported photos have odd colors. Blue skies are too purple. Warm woods are shifted greenish. The new photos are unusable because the colors are so distorted. It looks like the hue is shifted but I cannot be sure.

  • Saving PSD files after exporting from Lightroom saves incorrectly

    I've only recently moved to Lightroom from using Photoshop/Bridge together, so I'm not 100% sure how saving files exported from Lightroom should go. But here's what I experience:
    Base edit of file within Lightroom
    In library view, right click on image -> Edit in -> Open as Smart Object in Photoshop
    Perform all my necessary edits and such
    File -> Save As, and save it to another location as a PSD file (totally different HDD)
    Perform more edits....
    Shortcut CTRL+S to save, and it saves it as the TIFF file under the location it was originally in within Lightroom
    Eh...? Am I missing something. It should just save as the original PSD I created when I went "Save As". I have seen on a few occasions, immediately after "Save As", the file name resorts back to TIFF and not as PSD.
    My settings for External Editing in Lightroom are as follows:
    File Format: TIFF
    Color Space: ProPhoto RGB
    Bit Depth: 16 bits/component
    Resolution: 300
    Compression: None
    Does anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Also, to note, that sometimes I double click on the Smart Object within Photoshop to load Camera Raw and perform some edits, but not often.

    Re Camera Raw being used to pass an image to Photoshop
    a) I am assuming this is independent of the Compatibility level in Preferences\File Handling DNG creation.
    b) Does the same apply to other photo editing software made by Adobe like Elements?.
    Reply: Yes, the principle is the same. Photoshop Elements cannot read raw data either. That's why it has to be converted before it's opened.
    c) Assume that I have LR 5.7.1 and CS5. Is Camera Raw is still used to pass an image to Photoshop? If so, why is there a need to get LR to behave differently?
    Reply: Camera Raw is used IF you choose the option to open anyway. Then Camera Raw will be used to convert the image that's opened in Photoshop. But since it is older than Lightroom some of the new adjustments might not be transferred to Photoshop. That's why there is a need to let the user make the choice.
    d) Sometimes it does seem as if Adobe might be using Camera Raw updates and process version updates to get consumers to change their habits, this includes having to buy subscriptions or having to change workflow to some ideal that somebody at Adobe or working with Adobe might have in mind.
    Reply: The fact is that in the past, when a new version of Photoshop is released then all support and updates cease for the previous version. Since the introduction of the creative cloud, at least users of Photoshop CS6  get support for new cameras. They just don't get the new features. Yes, there's motivation to upgrade. Adobe is a business. What do you really expect?
    Re stacks
    I find impossible to see collapsed stacks on the film strip. Stacks are only visible on the Library module and using a grid view; I don't say clearly visible because they are only recognisable by the label at the top left corner with the image count; I don't even think it is possible to change the colour of that label or the grey colour surrounding an image. Also I cannot name stacks. If I could name stacks, see them as virtual folders underneath a library folder and make them glaringly visible I would use them extensively.
    Reply: The only reason I can think of that you are unable to see collapsed stacks on the filmstrip is if you have the filmstrip reduced in size to the point that Lightroom can't display all the icons. I'm able to see the collapsed stacks in the library grid view and on my filmstrip
    Re storing your Raw files and processed files in separate locations
    Assuming Raw files are negatives and Photoshop files are transparencies or prints, would you want negatives being handled/read on a regular basis? If anything happens to your negatives, you would never be able to produce another print or another transparency again.
    Reply: The raw files or the negatives, as you put it, are never modified by Lightroom. They always remain in their pristine state they were in when they were imported. If I have a backup of that raw file then I can do whatever I want to the one in my working folder. Resetting that raw file so that it looks unaltered is just a click away.
    I have worked extensively with databases and database systems, it is a standard feature of database systems to be able to choose where to store different database objects. I don't see why LR cannot do the same, it is a database after all. I do agree with both the OP and photo.
    Reply: Well, I won't argue that point. If that's what you really want than lobby for it. It just won't get my vote because I don't see any real advantage.
    If you read back through this quoted message you'll find that my replies are included. I don't know how to separate them out so they are highlighted properly. Read through it and think about it.

  • Why do my pictures become blurry after exporting from lightroom 5?

    My pictures become somewhat blurry or not as sharp after I export them from lightroom 5. PLEASE HELP!!!

    If you are looking at your exported pictures in preview.app than that is the culprit. It uses an extremely poor downscaling algorithm for displaying large images and will make every large image, no matter how sharp originally, display blurry. In preview you can hit command-0 (that's a zero) to make the image display 1:1 to see the actual detail. Make sure you have it's preferences in the images panel set to "Define 100% scale as 1 image pixel equals 1 screen pixel". I think in older Mac OS X versions, it was called something like ignore image dpi for display or so but I don't remember. You can also make sure to downscale (with correct output sharpening in the export panel) upon export from Lightroom. If the exported image is smaller than the display, Preview should display 1:1 by default upon opening.

  • File number is changed on export from lightroom

    using lightroom 4.3...  when I edit a group of photos in lightroom, most of the files will only be edited in lightroom but a few will also be opend into PS6 (by right clicking > edit in>...) Once the PS edits are complete the image is saved & I return to Lightroom.  When I export the entire group of images - I set the file name to 'custom name - original file number'.  The images I edited in lightroom only - all are renamed as expected (ie wedding photo-1234, wedding photo-1235...).  The images I edited in both lightroom & photoshop receive the custom name but lose their file name (ie wedding photo-, wedding photo-1, wedding photo-2, etc.)  When viewing these PS edited images in lightroom - they do show the file #, it is only after export that the file # is lost..
    Previous versions of lightroom / PS did not have this problem for me.
    I wish to maintain the file names for all of the images, help?!?

    Thanks Brett, yes - when I open the photo in PS, the file name has changed from i.e. _MG_5720.CR2 to _MG_5720-2. I save the image & go back to lightroom, the image is now called _MG_5720-edit.tiff.  When I export, (and in the export settings I rename to custom name - file name) the file now becomes wedding photo--.  In previous versions of the software - the file name would have exported as wedding photo-5720-edit.
    Can you please explain how I can   check how the file names are being changed and see if I can make it so any changes to the name occur before numbers.
    Many thanks, Anne

  • Cannot save as jpeg in CS2 after exporting from lightroom

    I'm so frustrated. This began happening only a couple times here and there after starting to use lightroom (can't remember if it was the 1.4 version, or the beta version). I don't think it's my photoshop program, since I have completely re-installed it twice and reinstalled onto my computer.
    Anyway, now it's happening all the time. I export images from lightroom into CS2 to make final edits, sharpen for print, crop, etc and then photoshop will not let me save it as a jpeg. I can save as a psd, or a tiff, but not a jpeg. I have tried exporting in jpeg format, or tiff format, and everything is fine until I try to save either type as a jpeg. It lets me choose the quality, 10-12 etc, then when I click OK, A red box with "could not complete your request because of a program error" pops up.
    I have Vista, edit in sRGB, export in sRGB, etc..... just don't know what to do since I NEED to be able to edit and save to send to print. Please help.

    Find the solution here:
    http://www.flickr.com/groups/adobe_lightroom/discuss/72157607023379578/
    basically you delete the camera raw info put into the file that trips up CS2 (but not CS3!)

  • Loosing GPS Data after exporting from Lightroom 5

    Hello,
    When I export my pics from lightroom 5 to import to iphoto,
    I loose the GPS data after the import into iphoto.
    I like Iphoto because of the icloud, so I don't want to move everything
    to LR5.
    Is there anyway to save the GPS data or am I doing something wrong?
    I am using the latest version of Iphoto.
    Thanks!

    Not really sure? I exported the pics after editing, but did not mess with the meta data or anything.
    Am I suppossed to do something to export the data, and then import into Iphoto?
    Thanks!

  • Problem with image after exporting from Lightroom 5

    Good day. Please can someone help me? I have Lightroom 5, and I have a problem in exporting edited images. At issue, do all the necessary settings and retreat noise and sharpness adjustment by brush adjustment tool, however, to export the image, noise and some minor adjustments are lost. Because in Lightroom visualize the way you wish, but after export, is not it the same? How do I get a different result? Thank you all!

    I have the same problem!
    Something got broken with my Lightroom 5.6 (Windows 7Pro)  two days ago and I don't see any adjustments made with brush after exporting photos!
    It's not a problem of library or RAW files - the same, work fine on other computers (iMac).
    I tried to clean the computer with CC Cleaner Tool, and install everything again, but it didn't help.
    I already lost 2 days trying to fix it, and I don't want to format the drive and install Windows again
    Can anyone help?

  • Missing filters (in PS) after exporting from lightroom

    I am currently moving my photo editing from a 32-bit WinXP machine to a 64-bit Win7 machine.  For the time being, both computers have CS4 Design Premium and Lightroom 2.5 installed.  All apps on both machines are currently up-to-date.
    The issue, and this ONLY occurs on the 64-bit Win7 machine, is that all of my third party filters disappear when I bring a file from Lightroom into Photoshop.  They aren't greyed-out.  They are not listed. Period.
    I've tossed out the PS preferences and made sure that both the 64-bit ver. of PS and the regular ver. of PS both point to the correct extra plugins folder.
    It has nothing to do with images coming out of Lightroom in @ 16bit because they are exported that way on the XP machine as well.  Filters that can't be run on 16-bit images just appear as greyed-out.
    I can open an image directly in Photoshop and all of the filters are there.  If I export the same image (and it doesn't matter whether I choose "edit in Photoshop" or "Open as a smart object");  if it's coming from Lightroom the filters are gone.
    Does anybody have any ideas why this would occur and, more importantly, how to fix it because this is really crippling productivity?
    Thank you.

    Disclaimer:  This is cross-posted in the PS forum because I have no eartly clue which application is screwing this up and it was suggested that I try this forum as well.  http://forums.adobe.com/thread/538233?tstart=0

    Ahhhh, OK.
    That makes sense and I can verify that by checking whether the filters show up in the 64-bit PS. (They don't).
    So both Bridge and Lightroom open the 64-bit PS app by default.
    Guess I'll have to go check and see if my favorite filters have 64-bit versions.
    Thank you for the answer.

    I'm not sure what you mean - did you mean save an image to 32-bit?
    I don't have a way (that I know of) to control which PS exe. Lightroom sends to image to when I choose to edit in PS.  I'm assuming it's going to the 64-bit app.  But in any case, I don't think it should matter.  I opened both PS exe's and made sure that both pointed to the same plugins folder.
    I posted here because it seemed like a PS issue and I don't know what the policy is around here about cross-posting the same issue to different forums.

  • Problems after exporting from Lightroom..

    I have Lightroom 3 and I'm having trouble with my program. When I edit my pics the look exactly how I want but when I export them to my computer and view them in slides how mode they are faded and dull. Kind of any old time look to them. Also when I print them they look that way as well. Anyone have any idea what would be causing the change?

    i just want to add that this is not an LR problem.
    it is always a problem if you save an images with an colorspace other then sRGB and view it in programs that do not support color management.
    especially when you save images for the WEB you should make sure that it´s sRGB.
    i think the vast majority of browsers used out there is still not capable of color management.

  • Saturation Loss When Exporting from Lightroom.

    This happens to me when exporting from Lightroom 2 or 3. It happens regardless of the color profile, file format, bit depth, image size, compression, or the method of export. I regularly profile my one-year-old iMac monitor with an Eye One Display 2. My working color space for Photoshop CS4 is ProPhoto. After exporting, I am viewing the images in Photoshop, Safari, Firefox and Apple Preview, with the same result. I have used pretty much all the available export methods in Lightroom, including exporting with Lighroom ad-ons such as SlideshowPro. And, conversely, if I edit an image to my liking ourside of Lightroom, there is a saturation increase when I import it into Lightroom.  The effect tends to be most obvious and bothersome with shots taken outside on sunny days, with lots of blues and greens.  I am shooting raw files with a Canon 5d II and I use the Adobe Standard profile in Lightroom.
    There is a section at the back of Martin Evening's Lightroom book where he talks about the Lightroom color space and Lightroom versus Photoshop curves, which seems to relate to what I am seeing, but I have the feeling that what I seeing is more pronounced than what he is talking about there.  It is a real dullng of the look, not merely a slight difference in how the colors are rendered.

    Looks like Lightroom doesn't like your display profile.
    Try removing the profile (don't know how to do it on a Mac) to leave your display uncalibrated. Are the colors still different in Lightroom and Photoshop?
