Colour Problems with Lightroom 5 Export

Apologies if this has been covered before folks.
I recently upgraded my laptop to a 64bit Windows 8 Asus with an IPS screen.
At the same time, I upgraded from Lightroom 2 to Lightroom 5, and have upgraded to 5.2.
When I export a jpeg from Lightroom, and then view that jpeg in anything (browsers, picasa, quicktime, windows bundled viewers etc) other than an Adobe product, I get a totally different colour scape: it's desaturated, the lights and darks are changed etc.
I'm exporting in ProPhoto RGB
When I used Lightroom 2, I never had this problem.
Can anyone help? Apologies if I'm doing something stupid!
See the attached screengrabs to illustrate what I mean. The one showing the Lightroom interface is what I want to achieve, and the other one shows the results I get.

There was a strange ASUS profile there for some reason.
And that reason is probably called Windows Update. Considering the percentage of these profiles that turns out to be bad/wrong/out-of-spec/outright useless, it's a mystery that Microsoft still agrees to push them.
According to those who know, a monitor profile is a complex beast. But functionally it's very simple - it should be an accurate description of the display in question. If it isn't, it looks wrong in those applications that actually use it, like Lightroom.
But all of this assumes that the Lightroom version was actually the wrong one. That's the way it works with a bad profile.

    you'll need both serial numbers to install the lr 5 upgrade.
    if you purchased and downloaded lr 4 from adobe or registered with adobe, you may be able to find your lr 4 serial number under the account used to make that purchase/registration (not necessarily your current adobe id), Adobe ID

  • 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?

  • Lightroom 2 colour difference in lightroom vs. export and print

    Hi,
    I am currently using Lightroom 2 and Windows Vista, monitor profile is Dell's E248WFP Color profile.
    The problem I have is that everything looks fine in lightroom, I was able to see the black backdrop with some defining detail on it. However, when I export the photo (export colour space: sRGB) and view it, the photo darkens, I could no longer see any detail in the black backdrop (I've tried othercolour space like the adobeRGB but results is the same). I understand that there could be difference using Windows viewer as someone has pointed out to me. I tried importing what I've just exported from lightroom back into lightroom and I could see all the original details.
    So I am guessing it's just an issue with windows viewer not able to display all the colours intended. I than send the file to "Blacks photography" (photo developing store) for printing and the same issue exists, it's darker than what is displaying in lightroom. Could someone please point me to the right direction?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi,
    Thanks for the advice, I bought a Spyder pro 3 thinking that might solve the problem but I think the problem is what is being exported? (not sure)
    Photo looks good in LR but after exporting, open the file and looks different in windows photo gallery than what's in LR.
    So I tried looking at the exported jpg in LR and it looks good in LR. I assume that's normal as people has mentioned that LR will display more colour and do it correctly. The problem for me than is printing. I send the photos to local photo processing stores and the colour is still off. Sorry for the ramble but here are some of my questions:
    I assume it's completely ok that photos look different in LR and windows photo gallery (or even other viewer).  As look as it looks ok in LR than it's fine?
    Is the problem with a low quality monitor (Dell's E248WFP)?
    I might not be calibrating it correctly? (will try again)
    Thanks again!!

  • How can I resolve the major problems with Lightroom 5 on iMac 5k?

    There are many many bugs that have come up in Lightroom 5 on my new iMac 5k (OSX10.10.1 Yosemite) that are seriously challenging my productivity!
    A short list of the problems include: Huge slow-downs when navigating in the develop module, very slow and sometimes unresponsive crop tool, improper slider scaling when develop panel in resized (because it is far too narrow on retina screen), poor auto selection of spot removal tool, slow local adjustment brush tool, and overall slow load times of 1:1 previews. My 2011 iMac beats the maxed out 2014 5k iMac in almost every part of the develop module except for initial loading and export times. What the heck is going on?!
    These are just some of the problems with LR, there are many more issues with premiere pro and after effects...

    Well, many of my issues evaporated when i re-installed the most recent update 5.7.1 (by download rather than cc desktop updater). Cropping is finally fast, sliders are ok for scale as long as you don't change panel size while the application in running (if you do you must close and reopen LR for slider scaling to match panel scaling). There are still some issue that I will be reporting on, but will make do for now.
    This was a major retina 5k iMac compatibility update, even though its not really mentioned in the list of fixes

  • Is there a problem with Indesign effects exporting to PDF?

    Hi All... Since updating to the latest version of Indesign, I can't seem to get my effects to work when I export into a PDF? Am I doing something wrong or is there a problem with the new version of Indesign?

  • What is problem with Lightroom 5 slide show??

    This is a repeat question since it is impossible to get an answer from Adobe.  Possibly THE worst technical support of any product I have ever purchased!!  I upgraded to LR 5.  The slide show does not work.  I only get a black screen while the slides advance.  This was not a problem with LR4.  My saved slide shows do not work and new ones created in LR 5 don't work.  Adobe gave some ridiculous answer about the name  of the files with some sort of ID in them.  The answer made no sense.  I have changed nothing in my OS or my file structure.  Some people are experiencing this problem since there were several people posting the same issue.  Why can't we get a timely and credible answer from Adobe on this problem?  Anybody have a solution?  I went back to LR 4 and no issue with the saved slide shows.  Help please!!  LR 5.4 upgrade did not fix the problem either.
    Come on Adobe fix your very expensive software product that I paid cash for!!
    Thank you!
    MAC OS 10.7.5

    I posted this 8 months ago with NO responses.  Incompatibility of Lightroom 5 and Mac OS 10.7.5 on a MacPro. I bought Lightroom last week and struggled to get a slideshow to be exported. After many hours of testing I have concluded that the slideshow export delivers blank slides and blank video (though audio comes through) EXCEPT that the picture shows up during the transition ONLY. Please correct this problem. The problem does NOT occur on my MacBook Air with OS 10.8.5
    I saw Rob Cole's suggestion:  what can be corrected in either the monitor profile or video driver?

  • Problem with Lightroom and Epson Printer

    I'm suddenly having problems printing from Lightroom. I have Lightroom 1.4.1 installed on an iMac G5, and have an Epson Photo Stylus R2400. I've been using this combination from the beginning with no problems. Now suddenly when I try to print I get an error message that says Media is out or not loaded correctly. Neither is the case. I have tried restarting my computer, the printer and everything else I can think of, but nothing works. I can print from any other application without problems, so I'm assuming it's an issue with Lightroom.
    Has anyone experienced anything similar? I was going to uninstall lightroom and do a reinstall but I can't find my installation disc. Now I'm at a loss to figure out what to do.
    Thanks,
    Craig

    Try deleting you prefs file and/or print templates.
    Lightroom is unique to many other programs in that it saves and restores printer settings. Some bad data may tried to be passes. A "fresh start" might help.

  • Problem with Lightroom and Infrared Photography

    This problem is specifically related to using LR & PS to process Infrared images. I apologize if this forum may not be the correct place to ask this question.  I am having problems processing Infrared Images when using LR & PS.  I take my IR images with a 530 IR conversion to a Canon G12 camera.  I learned early on Adobe products don't play well with IR images (they come in magenta when importing ) so I bring IR images shot withmy G12  into my computer with Canon Digital Photo Professional and then work in LR & PS from there. 
    If I then directly open this imported image from my hard drive into Photoshop and try and do adjustments such as blue sky adjustments with a red/blue channel swap, it works fine, just as I would expect.
    (If you are not familiar with IR processing, I understand this introduction and question will not make sense)
    But when using Lightroom, I sometimes have issues. I always import all my images into LR. Even with IR images, after using DPP to bring them to my computer, I import them into LR for cataloging purposes and to make other potential adjustments. Then my usual workflow is to move photos from LR to Photoshop via the "edit in" command. This opens a dialog box giving a choice of "edit a copy with LR adjustments" which is the default option and the one I always use, or "edit original".
    Here's the interesting thing I finally discovered.
    If I send the photo from LR to PS using the "edit a copy with Lightroom adjustments" option, I get a bad blue sky effect, where the sky is green and the foliage is pink instead of the sky being blue and the foliage yellow. But if I send it to PS using the "edit original" option, the blue sky effect works fine.
    So there appears to be an issue when tring to send IR images from Lightroom to Photoshop. Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Matthew Kraus

    Thanks so much for working on this.
    I fear the behavior you noticed was just due to the fact I cheanged the
    file from 16 bit to 8 bit so the size was smaller and I could easily email
    it.  When I open any of my regular 16 bit files, whether I send them to PS
    as "edit original" or "edit copy with lightroom adjustments", they both end
    up as 16 bit and as far as I can see, seem the same, though obviously they
    are not.
    I don't really have a preset, but I'll walk you through the process.
    1. Choose Channel Mixer from the Adjustment Pannel
    2. Make sure the output channel is red, change the red channel slider from
    100% to 0% and increase the blue channel slider from 0% to 100%.  You can
    type in the values.
    3. Change the output channel to blue.  Increase the red channel from 0% to
    100% and the blue channel from 100% to 0%.
    This is supposed to change the sky from brown to blue and the foliage from
    blue to yellow and is what happens when you use the "edit original"
    option.  When you use the "edit copy with lightroom adjustments", the sky
    turns green and the foliage pink.  So you get 2 different behaviors,
    depending on which option you use to bring the image from LR to PS.
    That's my question, why do you get 2 different behaviors?
    Thanks,
    Matthew Kraus

  • Problem with Import and Export Data Wizard

    Downloaded and installed SQL Server Express 2008 R2 today because I want to explore how Access interacts with SQL Server (using my home computer). I'm using Access 2010 (under Windows 7), so the 2008 version of SQL Server Express seemed to be the version
    to use.
    After a couple of false starts, installation appeared to go okay. After the installation. My Start menu listed Microsoft SQL Server 2008 and Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2. The latter listed Import and Export Data (64-bit). When I clicked that, the first Import
    and Export Data Wizard page was displayed. I wasn't ready at that time to explore the wizard, so I closed it. An hour or so later I again attempted to open the Import and Export Data wizard. This time, the wizard didn't open. Instead this error message was
    displayed: "The SSIS Runtime object could not be created. Verify that DTS.dll is available and registered."
    I found DTS.dll on my computer at C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn, so the file is available, but don't know whether it is registered.
    How can I correct this problem?

    First can you please post all log file errors
    >> I can't really give you a solution or specific recommendation since I did not saw this error yet myself, but on your own risk you can try:
    1. You may try to just register 'dts.dll' using regsvr32.exe, but this error may indicate a bigger problem with setup.
    If you are running SQL Server 64bit then try running this at the command prompt: %windir%\syswow64\regsvr32 "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SQL Server\90\dts\binn\dts.dll"
    2. You can try reinstall from start (In this case you have to make sure that you un-install all)

  • Exposure problem with Lightroom 4 CS5 and Raw 6.7

    Hi all
    I have recently upgraded from Lightroom 3.6 to the new Lightroom 4 and am genrally pretty happy with it, I tend to use it along with photoshop CS5 extended and also imagenomic Portraiture, but I have found an annoying little problem in doing this and something that I never suffered with when using Lightroom 3.6 and it is this...
    when I take an image from Lightroom 4 and click Edit image in Photoshop CS5 and then use Imageonmic to soften skin etc all seems to work well I then carry out any touching up within Photoshop and once finished save it back to lightroom for any final tweaks etc which is fine and all works smoothly, except once I have saved it back to Lightroom the exposure has been pushed up about 3-4 stops at least , meaning I then have to pull it down again and this can sometimes result in extra editing I could do with out. now I know its not the end of the world and is probably just a bug that I'm hoping will be sorted within Lightroom 4 but I just wondered if anyone else has had a similar problem, is it a bug or am I doing something wrong? (although I'm doing the same with Lighroom 4 as i used to do with LIghtroom 3.6 and that worked fine)
    Oh one more thing I should mention to get lightroom 4 and CS5 to work properly together I had to go into the Adobe Labs site and download the Camera RAW 6.7 software for CS5 so it could also be a bug here i guess.

    There have been several posts over on the Lightroom forum, and other non-Adobe forums also, about this issue: it seems that there's a bug in ACR 6.7RC which causes the image to be over-expose, compared with the setting applied using PV2012 in LR. I guess this is the kind of thing a Release Candidate is supposed to flag up! I was all set to upgrade my own ACR to ensure that PS would recognise my LR4 edits (I normally avoid RC versions and wait for the final), but all the reports of this problem have stopped me from doing so.
    In the meantime, best option so far as I'm aware is to process the image in LR (you get the option when you choose to edit in PS), meaning that it does all the rendering before passing it over to PS (otherwise, ACR handles the conversion of the raw file into TIFF). This does however mean that smart-objects and so on are temporarily out of the equation.
    I'm sure this will all be resolved pretty soon.
    Edit: in fact, one of the posts I mentioned is about ten posts down in this very forum: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/974963?tstart=0

  • Colour problem with Spry Accordion

    Hi, I'm trying to create a website with a spry accordion. I've had some trouble with it (as I'm not good at CSS, it's new to me) and I've solved them all except for one: a problem with the colour of the bar when the section is open.
    This is my website: http://s313354774.mialojamiento.es/saibe/design3/Publish/INICI.html
    When the menu is closed everything is ok, but when you open it then the colour changes, making a gradation between the new colour and the original one. I've checked the stylesheet and there the original colour doesn't appear anywhere, so it's wierd to me.
    Does anyone know why is it happenning? If i'ts because something stupid forgive me, as I told you this is quite new to me and I'm trying to learn day by day.
    Sergi

    Segi,
    This one has got me stumped. If I copy your SpryAccordion.css and apply my copy to the document, there is no problem. Have a look here http://pleysier.com.au/sergi/
    I know this will not help except to say, that if you change
    <link href="SpryAssets/SpryAccordion.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    to
    <link href="http://pleysier.com.au/SpryAccordion.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    see what happens.

  • Printing layout problem with Lightroom CC 2015 Release

    Hello,
    I am working with the following configuration :
    MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010)
    OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.3
    Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC 2015 Release
    EPSON Stylus Pro 3880
    I tried to print two images on a Super A3 paper sheet with an EPSON Stylus Pro 3880 directly from Lightroom and here is an example of what I expected (I resized and added a black border for better visibility on the forum):
    This is the preview I have in the printing module of Lightroom and this is also what I have when I print to a JPEG file with Lightroom.
    Sadly, after I launched the printing job, this is what came out of the printer:
    As we can see, the layout of the two pictures has been shifted toward the top of the paper sheet (cropping the top of the first image in the process) and about 30% of the right part of the layout has not been printed.
    Do you have any idea of what I am doing wrong here?
    For your information, I do not print very often so I am not 100% sure that I set everything correctly. However, I have been successfully printing in the past and it was with the same MacBook Pro on the same EPSON Stylus Pro 3880 printer but it was with OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.1 and with Lightroom 5.x (I cannot remember exactly which version).
    Moreover, because my print was urgent, I retried with a Windows machine running Lightroom 4.x with the same printer and it was a success. So I doubt that my initial settings on my MacBook Pro were wrong although I am not 100% sure.

    I am in France and I found out that EPSON is providing at least two different files for its v9.33 driver that relate to the Stylus Pro 3880 with OSX:
    epson16738.dmg: US version (https://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?UseCookie=yes&oid=141552&prodoid =63085147&infoType=Downloads&d…)
    epson379436eu.dmg: French version (Support et téléchargements - Epson Stylus Pro 3880 - Epson)
    and I realize that I was using the US driver which.
    After few minutes of refection, I realized that the 3880 driver that I installed on my MacBook pro was the only piece that was present when my prints failed and absent when my prints succeeded. So I though it had found out the cause of my problems until I tried with the french driver (epson379436eu.dmg)...
    In the meantime Adobe has release of new version of lightroom so let me recap my new configuration:
    MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010)
    OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.3
    Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC 2015.0.1 [ 1018573 ] (info available in Help menu > System info > Lightroom version)
    EPSON Stylus Pro 3880
    Epson driver v9.33 epson379436eu.dmg
    ... and the result of my test is ... nothing at all! Lightroom sends the the print job to the printer but nothing comes out of it.
    However, when I printed to a file from lightroom and then tried to print this file with OS X Preview on the Epson 3880, it worked perfectly.
    It also worked when I printed from Photoshop CC (2014.2.2).
    It also worked when I printed from Lightroom but with a different printed and driver (Canon MF8580Cdw).
    Therefore, among the five elements of my configuration cited above, there is none for which the printing job is always failing. It is hard to find out what is the faulty piece of software!
