Color different after export

OK image looks great in LR...RAW shot with 5D and edited in LR. Export to desktop,flickr,for email, ANYWHERE I export as jpeg...the color changes. Skin is orangy and yellowie and not pretty.
Here is a link to the example.

WHAT IT GOING ON???

First, make absolutely sure you are exporting to sRGB jpeg. If you are exporting to other color spaces and you are not using color managed apps to watch the files (e.g. Firefox 2.0 is not color managed), you will see a color shift. If you are already doing that, Lee is probably right. Vert likely a bad profile. Even if it works in Aperture and other apps. This can happen because Lightroom uses the perceptual rendering intent, while most apps use the relative colorimetric intent. The difference should be almost inperceptible (pun intented), but some canned profiles and profiles generated by certain calibrators have a bad perceptual intent embedded. Also, if you are using dual monitors, make sure that they are the same or that you know what you are doing. Lightroom will usually pick up the profile from the main monitor. But when you then drag the window to another it often does not pick up on the change.

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!

Trouble with photos looking different after exporting to LR5

I am new to lightroom 5. My photos do not look the same after exporting to CD or to a photo lab for printing. I am exporting to my hard drive before burning to CD. Can someone help? I am starting with RAW or CR2 files before editing.

What export settings are you using. For jpegs I always choose color space as sRGB (unless the printer requests Argb) and then I set print size, with resolution between 240 and 300 ppi. For glossy paper I choose a high sharpening setting.
It’s also possible to print a whole batch to jpeg files using the Print Module (see image below). You can then set an output value for brightening and contrast.
This can be useful as many people using uncalibrated monitors often find prints look darker than shown on their PC. When using for the first time it’s well worthwhile doing a test batch using different settings to see which gives you the best results.

Photoshop 7.0 - Problem Retaining Original Color Space After Export

I just registered for this forum & would appreciate your input.
I convert Canon RAW files to jpgs & always embed the sRGB color profile & color space in the converted files.. Once I open & edit one of these files in Photoshop 7.0 & save it, the color space is changed to Abobe RGB. I have tried many changes via Edit > Color Settings, but still the same results. I thought that the settings preset "Web Graphics sRGB Color Space" would do the trick - but it doesn't.
If I go to Image > Mode > Convert to Profile & select sRGB for both source space and destination space for an opened jpg file, the sRGB color space is embedded in the saved file - even after reopening in PS, editing, and re-saving. Must I do this for each jpg I edit?
Please educate me how to set PS so all exported files either retain the sRGB color space or have PS embed the sRGB color space upon export.
Thank you.

This is of course, an issue of permissions so there may be no solution.
Absolutely not. Don't jump to false premature conclusions. As Noel said, it solely depends on detecting a previous install/ verifying the install media. Since the latter is out of the question, the first would be way to go, the point being that it merely looks for the respective registry keys in HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Adobe. Lucky for you, back then nobody cared to encrypt such stuff so it could be hacked in manually. Off hand I'm just not aware of the specific structure for the keys, though, but a little digging might turn up that info. In fact it would be almost identical to the ones for PS 7, which might already linger there just lacking the proper vlaues...

Red color clips after export to H.264

Dear friends,
I am very new to try use Color. I sent seq. from FCP to Color, changed some clips use Color FX, and than back to FCP.
After export seq. from FCP to H.264 for web, some of the clips appeared red.
Thanks for any answer.
Libor

Do you mean red render bars or the clips are actually Red? With Color you should avoid H.264 until after any rendering. ProRes or Uncompressed are the best codecs to bounce between Color and FCP.

Previews in LR 1.0 look different after exporting to 'file'.

Hello everyone, I'm new to LR and somewhat new to PS (PS CS3). I'm starting to shoot mainly in NEF but have many more jpgs on file. While editing jpg's in LR for a Quinceanera (shoot w/ D200,JPEG,sRGB working in Win XP) I've had to, on occasion, finish editing in PS CS3 (blemish removal, USM in Lab, Gaussian Blur, etc.) after saving as a PSD and returning to LR and then 'export' the file back to jpg in a different folder (on Desktop) for easy finding I notice a 'change' in appearance in additional previews that I click on (back in LR) ONLY in the Develop Module! In Explorer and also the 'final' folder on the Desktop all images look the same (good). As I move my mouse over thumbnails in the Filmstrip they look fine in the Navigator preview but when I select one, it also looks fine as it is 'loading' but quickly 'shifts' to dull, bland when finished (again only in Develop Module). I've read a TechNote from Adobe stating ~'... the Library and Develop Modules use different color profiles...'?? in Preferences (LR) I have selected <PSD,ProPhoto RGB, and 16/bit> and in Color Settings... (PS CS3) I have a Working space as (RGB) - ProPhoto RGB and in Color Management Policies have RGB set to Off. My long winded question is this: I this normal and/or should I set my Preferences to sRGB (in LR for PS CS3)? Anybody have the same issues? P.S. I've had to close LR and then restart LR to have this 'problem' go away (no shifting in Develop). Thanks

Big A, Thanks for replying. Just to let you know, I went into Preferences (LR) and changed my settings: PSD, sRGB, and 8/bit and also changed PS CS3 Color Settings... :RGB-Working Space to sRGB and left RGB-Color Management Policies to Off (w/ Profile Mismatches: checked for Ask When Opening) just to help remind me when I'm working w/ RAW files.
Seems to have settled the issue of different 'views' from Library to Develop Modules. Anyways it seems to make sense seeing how Ps and Lr are supposed to work together 'behind the scenes'. There must be an order of things concerning profiles/spaces (what is effective in one app stays effect in the other or maybe LR have 'authority' over Ps due to its 'design'?? Thanks for the help Antonio

Why are my edited jpegs different after export?

I have a really strange problem that I can't seem to find the answer to anywhere else on the web
It's kind of difficult to understand but I will explain as best I can. So my friend and I have just started a photography business and things are going great. I use a Canon Rebel T3i with either a standard, portrait or telephoto lens. I use Lightroom 5 and after I finish editing my photos, I export them and they look lovely in my folder (I have an Asus laptop and Windows 8 if that helps) however when I upload them to websites like Pixieset or Facebook, the quality of the photo looks nothing like the quality I had edited as. The effects, presets and any other adjustments made to my exported photo become extremely dull and it was like the edit was never done. Even at the highest quality, my photos still look nothing like I edited them!
And what's weirder? My friend uses the exact same program, has the exact same OS and also uses Facebook and Pixieset, along with very similar presets effects etc. and her photos look exactly like they have been edited. I don't understand what's up with that!!! And of course just my luck I am unable to insert a screen capture to show you bc it is for some reason not working. But my export settings are JPEG, sRGB, he quality is 100% and the res is 300 ppi and all photos are very cool toned and dull. I have tried different resolutions, different qualities and even different image formats and every single time I still had the exact same problem Very frustrating!! please offer any advice you can, I have tried everything!
Thank you in advance!

I also have an ASUS laptop running Windows-8 (13") but I only use the laptop for offloading memory cards while on the road so I will need to figure a way to test this to see if it is something in the OS, the ASUS hardware or whatever. I will be heading off for the weekend so I won't be able to do this until next week but the problem is intriguing.
You said you did "another screen calibration"; was this done with hardware/software using a calorimeter or done visually using software? I am assuming you used hardware but wanted to be sure. Also, are you starting with a RAW image, doing your edits and then exporting the RAW image as a JPEG or did you start with a JPEG? In theory, it shouldn't matter but Lightroom does handle JPEG and RAW images slightly differently. Lightroom 5 is much better at handling JPEG edits non destructively than previous versions but the changes should have been baked into the files upon export.
I am not familiar with Pixieset nor am I a Facebook user but, from what I understand about how Facebook operates, there is some compression as well as stripping of metadata from the file when you post it. This shouldn't matter since the edits should have been baked into the JPEG already but I have been in IT long enough to understand that sometimes, the smallest change can have major unexpected consequences. From what you stated, this should be working but it's not. I would like to see if I can duplicate it so any additional information about your processes/workflow would be helpful.

Why is the color changed after export?

Hi
The colors of my movie change after i export them.
I tried to find the anser on all kind of forums but i believe i'm the only one with this problem.
My settup:
Mac 24GB 1333MHz DDR3
Eizo CG221

Here are some screenshots.
I've made no color correction.
If you look at the preview, you see it's saturated and the colors are off. And after the export it's back to the origanal colors.
Here are some more specs:
Footage: Proress 422

Color quality after exporting video

I am trying to make a video with all of my photos, and after I export the video, the quality of the images totally gets ruined. The color is not as vibrant and the images are not as clear, I am using the highest mode to export, so I was wondering if there is anything that I can do to improve the quality!

I figured it out. I had to reduce the size of the exported file. It looks a lot better now.

Wrong color profile after export - what am I doing wrong?

I'm a beginner in color management and color profiles and I have a problem with my exported files from AE CS6 (german version):
In my project settings I've set the working space to "adobe RGB (1998)" which is the same like my footage (JPEG Image-Sequence).
In my Output Module Settings I've set it also to the working space "adobe RGB (1998)".
I' ve tried to export it as h.246 and AVI.
And now the Problem: the exported clips are too bright and washed out. First I thought it is a problem with the Windows Media Player, but I imported the clips again to after effects and the showed Profile is now "HDTV (Rec. 709) Y'CbCr". This is the case with the h.246-clips. The AVI-Clips showed the profile "sRGB IEC61..." So the settings from the Output Module didn't seem to work.
The washed-out-effect disappeared after I set everything to HDTV, but I don't think this is the right way to go..
Thank you for any help

Simple, really: You are using a) a wrong color space b) your system is not calibrated, but you have color management enabled and c) use formats that don't support color management. This is simply wrong from stem to stern, especially with regards to b) and c). Why would you even use Adobe RGB when video works on Rec 709 or even more generic sRGB? I think you do not even understand the point of CM on a fundamental level. you don't dictate the color space by your source files, you simply import them into your working color space - regardless of whatever it is set to. The color metrics engine will apply any corrections necessary based on the associated/ embedded profiles, which ultimately is the whole point. Conversely, enabling CM for output will require a format that actually uses those corrections, which comes down to only a handful. so to cut a long story short: Unless you are willing and technically able to establish a proper CM workflow simply leave it off and just use the default sRGB that AE ever has used.

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.

Here:

Color fades after export

So I've tried a handful of file formats but no matter the type it seems that every export flattens the color (in comparison to what I have on my FCP canvas window)
Any thoughts to why this would be? (I previewed the exported files on multiple computers and monitors too...)

I gets darker but I do not know how it will affect further use of the QuickTime movie in Compressor or DVD Studio Pro. Just try you can always revert back to allow dithering. I have used when I was working with SD and had no issues.

Effect different after exporting?

Hi,
I am trying to apply a beat (modern rock drums No.5) to a trailer I'm making. It sounds perfect when applied but when exported into FCP it clearly skips or seems to miss a beat. I've tried it both ways - with a low res version in Soundtrack Pro itself and just saving the beat and importing it to FCP. Both have the 'broken' beat after leaving Soundtrack. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks.

Okay, then. The audio file you're using has a tempo of 100 bpm, and your project has a tempo of 120 bpm. That's what's causing that "break" you're describing.
In Soundtrack Pro, open your project. Then select the Project tab in the left column and scroll to the bottom. Change the tempo from 120 to 100. Save the project, then export to FCP again. That should take care of it.

Different colors after export

I had this a time ago from Final Cut Express too.
I do have a short clip from a Canon HF100 AVCHD camcorder, that shows industries at sundown. I saturated the colors a bit to make the sundown a bit more dramatic.
When I export that clip with Quicktime conversation from within Final Cut Express I get different movies with more or less saturated colors after:
- Photo JPEG codec gives fine saturated colors as they were in FCPE
- H.264 codec gives much less saturated colors after export
I had that some time before as I made a simple slideshow in FCPE with photographs from Aperture and in another case with a short movie wherein I used some clips made with different apps like one came from iMove 09 and the other came from Keynote 09. In this case after export with setting for iPhone the colors in the iMovie part were OK but in the Keynote part they were less saturated and a bit to light.
What I miss is a kind of colormanagement like it is available system wide for stills.
What do I wrong?

Well, In this case I had to export the clips for some stock footage sites were each of them do have different recommendations in which format they want the clips.
One site had the option for clips saved as .mov with codec PhotoJPEG for most compatibily on any platform, another like to have the clips not larger as 300 MB were I had to use another codec like H.264 to let the export file smaller than the limit.
The exported files had all in base the same settings:
The H.264 file was exported with compression H.264, quality 75, 25 fps, clipdimension 1920x1080 px
The PhotoJPEG with best quality in color and with the same clipdimension.
Til now, I ccan see the only difference is the kind of compression -> H.264 instead of PhotoJPEG, but with different saturated colors in final file. Why?

Color of video looks extremely different (photo negative) after export

After sending my footage (on my timeline) to Color, I changed the color in the Primary In, then added some Effects in the Color FX section. I added Exposure, Film Look, and Saturation. I edited each one of my clips (with the same settings as I mentioned) and then sent it back to FCP. I rendered the footage. The footage looked great in the timeline. Everything looked just as I wanted it to. But then when after exporting using Quick Time conversion, I played the video and it looked absolutely horrible. When I say horrible I mean the footage looked like a photo negative, it was not even watchable. I had other footage in the exported video that was not edited in color, and that footage was fine.
Where is this problem coming from and how do I solve it? I would really appreciate help on this issue.
Here is a link with what my footage looked like after exporting it:
