Adobe RGB to SRGB export Lightroom CC

Hello
I am getting quite the discoloration when exporting my Adobe RGB photos into SRGB with Lightroom.
Some colors like blue gets heavily saturated, while reds/browns hidden inside in grass and foliage gets an ugly boost, making grass look very unatural.
This color shift is visible in both Windows Explorer, XN Viewer and when i import the exported photos into Lightroom itself. Adobe RGB exports looks great. SRGB looks whacky.
Is there any trick i can use to get more accurate color conversion in Lightroom? Right now its kind of Texas.

I have put your file through my Lr setup and this what I found.
1) Paper gamut warnings are very different from yours, noticeably I don't get any warning on the top left corner of the blue sky and get warnings is less of your backpack than you do
2) I virtually get no monitor warnings (just some gamut warnings on the backpack)
3) This is a screenshot of an AdobeRGB export and sRGB export (100% quality and 300 pixels per inch) [I have sent you the originals via Dropbox, please see private message]
Perhaps the sRGB is a bit darker but the there isn't a huge difference between the sky.
It could be your profile and/or your wide gamut display (as @twenty_one has said). My display is a Samsung S27B970, calibrated 2 days ago with an i1 Display Pro from x-Rite.
Have a read through Tony Jay replies to this recent thread Soft proofing sRGB on wide gamut monitor - Lightroom Forums. It might be worth to soft proof using your monitor profile, which is what Tony Jay is doing for image 5 in his 1st reply to that thread.
Edit: Tony Jay replies are a year old, so not that recent.

  • ProPhoto RGB Conversions to Adobe RGB or sRGB

    With Lightroom using ProPhoto RGB with a 1.8 gamma, what happens to the image on the monitor when converting to either Adobe RGB or sRGB whose gamma is 2.2? Are the image colors simply remapped?

    Simple answer, yes..._IF_ you have an accurate profile of your display, Lightroom will use that to correctly display the image on screen. That's a double edged sword though, if you DON'T have an accurate profile of your display, the image on screen won't be accurate.
    And yeah, forget about the relationship of "working space" (an image's RGB specs) and your display's "profile". There is none-other than the fact that a color manged apps will display the image's color space correctly with an accurate profile.
    Did I mention it's really important to have an accurate display profile?
    :~)

  • RAW output to an adobe rgb and srgb look identical in bridge but different in PS on wide gamut monitor.

    Photoshop CS6.  Wide gamut HP LP2475w monitor.  Spider 3 Elite calibrated.  Working space adobe rgb.  When outputting a raw to Adobe RGB jpg it looks a bit whacked with color blotches/jumps in PS.  The sRGB of it does not.  BUT......in bridge they look identical.  The adobe rgb jpg almost acts like viewing an image in a non-color aware browser on a wide gamut monitor.  Like bridge shows it right but photoshop is showing it whacked out.  I can't tell what is lying to me and if there is even a problem with the image.  Here is a half second 2 frame gif alternating between the two from a screen cap.  http://www.extremeinstability.com/hmm.gif  Abrupt blotchy color changes with the adobe rgb when viewed in photoshop.  And again, when you look at the two images in bridge they don't show that, they look identical.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    I guess I now learned that Bridge only generates srgb previews.  So I see them the same in there I guess.  Looks like it comes down to the adobe space and jpg.  Oddly enough an 8 bit adobe tiff covers it fine without breaking up.  Can see the 3 on this gif.  http://www.extremeinstability.com/3.gif 

  • Adobe RGB and SRGB don't match!

    I realized I have been editing in Adobe RGB and the color settings as "Optimize for printing". I need to switch it to Srgb (which defaults to "Optimize for computer screens". When I do this though, all my RAW files look washed out and dull compared to before and also when compared to what they look like in-camera. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and the same thing happens.  I also talked to the tech people where I bought my computer and they said it's not anything wrong with the monitor or pc. Anyone know whats going on?

    Hi,
    This is because the gamut of Adobe RGB is greater than SRGB.

  • Adobe RGB vs. sRGB

    In iPhoto 5, when importing photos from my Canon 20D with the color space set to Adobe RBG, JPEGS look washed out. Raw images (.cr2) look fine. If I set the camera to sRGB, both the JPEGS and Raw images look OK - the JPEGS are not washed out. Has this issue been fixed in iPhoto 6? I want to use the Adobe RGB to get the larger color space, as the camera supports it, but do I have to always use raw images to import in iPhoto? (Photoshop Elements handles this fine....)

    The »s« in srgb supposedly stands for »standard« (though »small« or »s..t« have also been mentioned) and this color-space is so small as to be representable without clipping on most monitors, so it’s recommended to be used for internet-work.
    AdobeRGB on the other hand is much larger and intended for professional image-editing.
    If You wonder what small and large mean in this context just create an rgb-document with a Spectrum-gradient and assign (not convert) different profiles to it and see how the appearance of pixels of any given rgb-value change.
    Or compare the two profiles in ColorSync Utility (in the Utilities-folder).
    Of course working in the larger space can cause problems when an image has to be output in a smaller space (as many/most offset printing spaces are), but soft-proofing can help recognize them in time.
    Anyway reading up on color management should do You no harm.
    It would seem advisable to shoot RAW-images if Your camera offers that option.

    How do I do this conversion in Elements? Thanks.

    Then, you are seing the properties shown by Windows itself.
    If you are looking from the editor : file/file info, advanced tab. Then click on 'Adobe photoshop properties... you'll see the real color space.
    If you look from an advanced editor like exif viewer or photome, you'll see the 'uncalibrated' mention in the camera section... and the real color space in the ICC profile section...
    The exif data are far from simple...
    Edit : the simplest way to know the color space in the editor may be to click on the small triangle in the bottom left part of the status bar : you can choose 'document profile' from the drop down list.
    Alternatively, menu/image/convert color profile. If you can convert to sRGB you are in aRGB and reciprocally.

  • Adobe rgb to srgb conversion

    Hi!
    Does anyone know how to change the color profile of photos stored in iPhoto 6 from the Adobe rgb format (that their currently in) to srgb format? And would I need to duplicate all the originals so as to not permanently lose the larger color space of Adobe rgb? I'm wanting to get photos printed by an online printing lab that I understand uses srgb format. If I do the conversion before sending them off, will this mean the color I then see on my screen will match the prints I get?
    I've read a number of discussion threads on the color profile topic, but I am still really confused!

    Have a look at Old Toad's post here
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12400600&#12400600
    and the Automator app he created to do the job, linked to in that post.

  • Canon 5DIII conversion of ProRGB or Adobe RGB to sRGB over-saturation

    I shot a Canon 5DII in raw for three years & posted a lot of my work on the web.  I did PP on the image with a calibrated monitor.   I would make initial adjustments in LR4 & further develop the raw file in PS.  When generating a copy to post on the web, I would convert to sRGB & imbed the color profile when generating the web-ready jpg file.  The image was slightly different when viewing in Firefox (it reads the embedded color profile) vs. viewing in Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers.  But it was not a significant difference.
    With my new 5DIII, when using the same PP methods & conversion, there is a huge difference depending on the browser.  Firefox renders just a bit flat, but generally in the ball park of what I set the image color at.  In IE & Chrome, the reds are really over saturated & the blues are somewhat so.  I'm embarrassed to post anything with the fear that someone will look at them with one of those two browsers.
    Has anyone else run into this issue when upgrading to the 5D3?  Way over-saturated colors in certain browsers for sRGB jpg files?
    Here's an example I posted on the Nature Photographer's Network site: http://www.naturephotographers.net/imagecritique/largephoto.cgi?ref=195761&w=i
    If you view it in different browsers, you'll see the big difference.  Thanks for any help or advice.

    The manufacturer’s profile may or may not be quite correct.  If you are doing photography that others pay for the results from, then you should invest in a hardware calibrator to make sure things are as correct as possible when viewed or printed elsewhere. 
    One of the Spyder series is what I see many people using.  I see others mention the iOne/EyeOne and a few Colormunki, with some people also needing printer calibration be handled by their calibrator for added expense.  If you are sending out your prints, only, or people are ordering them, online, then that is not a concern, but getting accurate color on your monitor is, and being able to trust that the colors you’re seeing in your color-managed products like Photoshop and Lightroom will carry over to clients viewing sRGB JPGs on their cheap monitors, and also carry over to offsite prints, is a concern.
    The initial problem description of colors becoming oversaturated suggests a problem with your monitor’s color profile not matching what it actually is displaying, as well as a problem with some non-color-managed applications showing weird things, and perhaps a problem with the output profile from LR or PS not being set and embedded as sRGB.
    Setting your monitor to the manufacturer’s profile is a good first step as long as your monitor, itself, using the on-screen-menus of the monitor is set to the proper mode that matches what your profile is doing.  Maybe this is a Native mode, not a User or sRGB mode.  Some manufacturer’s monitor profiles are actually incompatible with LR and cause problems, though, which is another reason to create your own custom profile. 
    The reviews I see for your particular monitor say it is very bright.  Are you using it at maximum brightness when you are editing?  A hardware calibration process usually also has a step or two where you set your monitor to an ok contrast and brightness setting, rather than maxed out.   Is your room lighting (ambient lighting) very bright or normal overhead office fluorescents or very dark.

  • Adobe RGB changed to sRGB after export in Aperture 2.1.1 Why?

    I have tried taken pictures with color profile Adobe RGB, but all images exported via Aperture 2.1.1 shows up as sRGB in the EXIF. Does Aperture convert the color profile somewhere?

    When exporting, you get to choose your color profile. The export pre-set you chose uses sRGB. So, after choosing your export preset, click on the preset drop-down menu again and go all the way down to "Edit". This will allow you to change the profile to Adobe RGB from sRGB. That setting now will always be used for that pre-set. If needed, you can create other pre-sets by clicking the plus symbol in the bottom left corner of that edit dialog box.

  • IPhoto export images w/Adobe RGB

    I shoot in RAW (Nikon), import image file to iPhoto, do some minor edits, and export to JPG (max quality) or TIFF. When I open with Preview and do COMMAND-I, I noticed the exported file now has Adobe-RGB as the color space.
    How I can export (from iPhoto) to sRGB color space?
    Can I convert/re-assign the color space from Adobe-RGB to sRGb in Preview or any other appication?
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Where do you export the file to? Are you using iPhoto to do the editing or a 3rd party editor like Photoshop?
    Is there a menu option in the camera's settings windows that lets you assign a color profile? If there is what is it set to. Does editing a photo that hasn't come from your camera result in the Adobe RGB profile?
    How is your iPhoto Advanced preferences set up?
    Click to view full size
    If it is not checked then check it, import a RAW file, do you edits and check the profile. If it is checked, uncheck it and run the same text.
    For photos already edited and exported out of iPhoto you can use this Applescript to losslessly embed the sRGB color profile in the files: *+Embed sRGB Profile-Applescript+*. You can download it from Toad's Cellar. It must be applied to image files outside of iPhoto.

  • AdobeRGB* VS Adobe RGB

    When I open an image in PSE3 it shows RGB/8* and another image opens and shows RGB/8 with no asterick.
    The first image is shot in sRGB and the second is shot in AdobeRGB.
    Is this why the asterick appears?
    Thanks
    Richard Cooper

    Richard,
    Colin is correct, "RGB/8*" does indicates your document colour profile does
    not match your work space profile. PSE4 works as Colin said. However, you
    said you have PSE3. PSE3 works a little differently -- you can only get
    "RGB/8*" when you have your color settings set to "Full Color Management".
    If you have your color settings anything else, you won't see that.
    You asked "So, PSE3 workspace is set to RGB and any image that is not RGB
    would be astericked.
    Correct?"
    No, not quite. First of all, let's go over what "RGB/8" means. The "8" part
    is easy. This is just the bit depth of the color channels. In this case 8
    bits per channel. The "RGB" part is the color mode of the image. If the
    mode were Grayscale this would read "Gray", Indexed mode would read
    "Indexed" and so forth. Since yours says "RGB", the image is in RGB mode.
    PSE3 only supports a few color modes. RGB is one and Grayscale, Bitmap, and
    Indexed are the others. If you try to open an image in an unsupported mode
    such as CMYK or LAB, you'll get a popup message saying the mode is
    unsupported and there will be a button to allow you to convert to RGB mode.
    The "*" on the end has to do with the color profile associated with the
    image. Profile and Mode are not the same thing. The mode describes how
    colors are represented (RGB says that each color will be represented by a
    Red value, a Green value, and a Blue value). By themselves, these are just
    numbers in the range of 0 to 255. Determining what those numbers mean is
    the role of the profile which decribes how these color values are to be
    interpreted. There can be many profiles for the same mode. Adobe RGB and
    sRGB are both RGB profiles and are probably the most common. There are
    other RGB profiles as well.
    When you set your color settings to "Full Color Management", you told PSE3
    that you wanted it to use Adobe RGB for the default internal working color
    space. However, this setting will also attempt to retain any color space
    profile which may be embedded in the image. The "*" tells you that PSE3 did
    just that. Your default color space is Adobe RBG but your working color
    space is something else -- most likely sRGB, but other RGB profiles could
    have been embedded instead. When you see the "*" in PSE3, your work space
    profile is not Adobe RGB, you are using the embedded profile.
    PSE4 is improved over PSE3 in how it handles color management and profiles
    and can do limited conversions between sRGB and Adobe RGB. You might want
    to consider upgrading to it if you need to convert Adobe RGB to sRGB often.

  • Can you show slideshow within Lightroom 4.4 in Adobe RGB color space?

    Can you show slideshow within Lightroom 4.4 (not export out from LR) in Adobe RGB color space provided that you are using a wide gamut monitor which is capable and hardware calibrated & profiled to show such color space?
    If this is possible, what is required to do so in Windows 8 and i7-4770 & HD Graphics 4600 platform or does LR take care of it automatically?
    This is very basic question, however, I could not find a clear answer/info from LR documentation, so wish that someone can advice.

    Those settings are probably stored in a plist somewhere in ~/Library/Preferences. If you can locate the appropriate file, you should be able to copy it to all the network user folders.

  • Open with External Editor Profile sRGB instead of Adobe RGB

    Hi,
    I know in the export presets I can adjust what profile aperture will use. But what about when I open with External Editor. I like doing this because I can open my image in PhotoShop make my adjustments then save it and have aperture manage my files. But when I do this it opens the file with Adobe RGB, my lab and I sometimes want Adobe RGB. How can I change this without exporting the file and reimporting the file. Thanks.

    Aperture uses a color space larger than AdobeRGB and sRGB. When an image is sent to Photoshop is converted to a 16bit AdobeRGB PSD file in order to get the largest color space to work with.
    sRGB would be necessary when exporting to the web and/or send it to a printer that requieres that color profile, and that's why you have it in the export presets.

  • Camera is set to sRGB, but Aperture metatdata says Adobe RGB

    I have my Canon 40D's color profile set to sRGB, even though I get the impression that it serves no purpose if I am shooting RAW images (which I am). Even if it makes no difference in RAW, I still have to choose a profile in the camera's settings (I guess in case I switch to shoot JPEGs). Anyway, why does the EXIF Expanded metatdata in Aperture say "Adobe RGB"? Should I, and how do I, change that in Aperture?
    And does this matter?

    Adobe RGB gives you a wide range of color, while sRGB give you less color. Since RAW files give you a lot of information, Aperture works with them in Adobe RGB. As mentioned in other posts, you can always export in sRGB. Personally, the only time I would use sRGB is for website photos or online photo labs when they request sRGB files. It is always best to start out with a lot of color and work your way down rather than the other way around. Down the road if you make something like fine art inkjet prints, you will be glad you have RAW files with the Adobe RGB color space.
