Export in 1.1 is MUCH brighter

In LR 1.1 I can take a jpeg, .psd, or raw file and color correct it. BUT, when I do an export to a jpeg the images are significantly brighter. No color shift, but brighter.
Viewing the exported images in any tool I've tried shows the same significant brightness difference.
Irfanview, the default jpeg viewer on windows, EVEN importing the image back into LR 1.1 its significantly brighter.
Is this a built-in feature I missed? Some adjustment I don't know about? Or is there a problem?

I MAY have answered my own question....
I installed CS3 and tried doing the same open/camera raw/process to get jpeg output. And THEY were also VERY bright when I brought them back into CS3 Bridge. So LR and CS3 are doing the same thing. So I opened a RAW into PS CS3 and saved it as a jpeg. Brought it back into Bridge and it was ALSO very bright.
Went back and did the same thing in CS2 and everything was good. No VERY bright jpegs. Brought one of the jpegs created with CS2 into CS3 Bridge and it was VERY bright.
And on and on with a lot of fiddling and trying to find some setting that'd be causing the odd behavior. FINALLY, by dumb luck I stumbled on the preference that does the "Apply auto tone adjustments", which was turned on. When I turned it off, suddenly all my VERY bright jpegs returned to looking like the original RAW they were generated from...... SO, that APPEARS anecdotally to be what was messing me up in Bridge......
So now my question is if I"m in LR and I go through develop and an image looks the way I want it, is there SOMETHING I need to set in LR so when I do the export it doesn't change the jpeg? OR, is there something I need to set so LR doesn't change the jpeg when I synchronize the folder and bring the newly exported jpegs back into the LR catalog?

  • .movs are much brighter than Self contained export after Compression

    Hey there, I have a very interesting problem....
    My .movs after using compressor are much brighter than the original self contained file from FCP.
    My workflow is as follows
    1. I make one export from final cut 6 as a self contained pro res movie file
    2. I open the self contained file in compressor and add a h264 setting for both a .mov and a wmv
    After the encoding process is done my wmv is very close to the original sequence in FCP, however my .mov is much brighter
    I have tried adjusting the brightness and contrast within Compressor settings, but I find I' m losing color. The original footage is HDV and we are capturing it as Pro Res.
    Does this sound familiar to anyone? Or any suggestions?

    After a day of tedious test work I have discovered a few things....
    There is a display setting within QT preferences that says 'Enable FCP' this corrects the situation as WMV and .MOVS use different color settings and therefore a discrepancy in gamma. However this is only a solution within that computer, as it is merely a display option.
    There is a gamma filter within compressor that gives us the best results for a blanket compressor setting that allows us change all .movs that go to our clients.
    This does not give identical results between WMV and MOV but a very close comparison.
    Will they ever be identical? or is it a fundamental difference between codecs and platforms?

  • Images in Bridge have suddenly become much brighter than when I call them into Photoshop CS6.

    Images in Bridge have suddenly become much brighter then when I call them into Photoshop CS6. My monitor is calbrated.

    First go the Bridge / Camera Raw preferences.
    Inhere under 'default image settings' are 4 options to put a checkmark in front.
    If there is a checkmark in front of "apply auto tone adjustments' deselect it and try again.
    Otherwise select one problem file and with right mouse click menu choose 'purge cache for selection'. If this works then go to menu tools / cache/ purge cache for folder.
    If still in trouble could you provide more details about versions and OS and preferable a screenshot to clarify the problem more?

  • Why is OS X Mavericks so much brighter?

    So I just put in OS X Mavericks in my Mac Mini (2011) and the screen automatically just looks so much brighter. I realize that it's because I have an HD screen which makes anything clearer, but Mountain Lion never appeared to be that clear before. I know I sound stupid asking such a question but I'm just all kinds of happy now as my vision isn't that good sometimes.

    You have a 2012 Macbook Air,......it is very possible you need to run the firmware update first, Mavericks cannot install until doing same on your 2012 unit in some cases of 64gig or 128gig certain Toshiba SSD

  • If i export my project, it runs much faster than in the canvas. How can I fix that?

    If i export my project, it runs much faster than in the canvas. How can I fix that?
    I'm from germany, sorry for my english!

    When you export your project, it is "compiled" into video format. Any player will play it at its frame rate.
    Motion is a compositing application. It has to make many more times the calculations needed to animate everything and 90% of the time, it's just not possible for Motion to keep up with "real time".  It's to be expected. Learning to live with that fact will make life a lot easier for you, I promise.
    There are a few things you can do to help speed up Motion:
    Reduce temporary play ranges to no more than about 5 seconds at a time. You can move the Play Range In and Out markers from section to section. Motion does all of its real time rendering in RAM. The longer the play range, to more it has to work managing that memory.
    Remove Preview Icons from the Layers list ( View menu > Layers Columns > Preview will toggle the views)
    When you play your animation, turn off on screen guides: (command - / will toggle onscreen guides)
    In Motion 5, reducing the quality of playback from the Render menu does not make a lot of difference anymore, so you might as well keep the default settings of Dynamic, Full and Normal on. However, Motion Blur, Frame Blending, Field Rendering, as well as the lighting options will affect playback, sometimes by quite a lot. So if you have Lights, turning off Lighting, Shadows, and Reflections will get back a lot of real time playback speed (just remember to turn on all that you need before rendering, or these things will be left out of the export!)

  • Output is much brighter than preview

    Hello,
    I have a problem with video output. As you can see on picture below, output is brighter than preview. I'm using LUTs and export is H.264 with no calibration or auto correct. Is there any way to have same output as a preview? It's really annoying to experiment with it - it mainly waste a lots of time.
    Thanks.

    Hey Filip,
    the "brightness" you see is cause by the quicktime gamma shift.
    Please activate "automatic color calibration" during render to get a right result OR add a LUT-Layer with a 'Quicktime_gamme.ilut'
    automatic color calibration feature compares input & output and automatically calculates and apply a correction lut to prevent gamma shifts.
    Hope that helps,
    Duy-Anh

  • Exported mp4 or flv has much smaller frame size than the original

    Not sure if I started the project the wrong way or if I'm doing something wrong when I export.
    My imported file is an mp4 29.87 fps 44,100Hz 16 bit stereo.
    480x360
    When I export it as an flv or mp4 the image is about the size of a postage stamp surrounded by a huge black border.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    I'd rather export and flv.
    Martin
    P.S. I'd like the exported size to be around 390x214 or something a tad smaller than 400 wide.

    Thank you Hunt for your reply.
    I was an editor for 30 years (Michael Redbourn) and did some editing on Premiere a few years back for a client, but somebody set up the pre-sets and did the export for me, so as is obvious I know next to nothing about how to do either.
    What is your Sequence Preset? Does it match that Source Footage?
    I didn't see any preset that matched 44,100 hz
    How can I check to see what my sequence preset is?
    In those Export formats, what are the Presets used?
    What are the settings for the Frame Size options?
    In those formats, if you chose, say a DV Preset, and did not do cropping, you would get what you describe.
    I tried several and certainly one of them was a DV preset, and I didn't crop.
    The answers to the above questions should give others something to work with, and likely get you a solution to the issue.
    I'm really just experimenting with a short sequence and to reedit it will be really simple, so if you could tell me which presets and export settings to use, I will redo the project and learn a lot at the same time.
    Original clip is an mp4 29.87 fps 44,100Hz 16 bit stereo 480x360
    I'd like the exported size to be around 390x214 (preferable .flv) or something a tad smaller than 400 wide.
    Thanks again,

  • Using the Premiere pro CC 2014 exported media file size is much larger than estimate, also is so much bigger than Premiere CS 6?

    I used the preset H,264 Youtube 1080HD to export a video. The estimate size is 7308 MB {after I reduce the nitrate). The final size is 11.18 GB.
    Why is so much different? Befor I Use the Premiere CS6 to export a simial size use the same format Is around 6GB.

    First of all, the estimated file size just an estimate based chiefly on the combination of the bitrate and duration. The actual size can vary significantly, depending in large part on the amount of change from frame to frame throughout the video. For example, if you encode two clips of identical duration to exactly the same settings, the only difference being the nature of the content--say on is a talking head interview shot with the camera locked down on a tripod while the other is skateboarding footage that was shot handheld--the size of two resulting outputs files will be widely divergent.
    As to the comparison between CS6 and CC2014, note that the settings for some presets have been changed. For instance, the h.264 YouTube 1080 presets went from 8Mbps to 16.

  • Why do my colors print dark on my printer but display much brighter on my screen?

    I'm on Adobe CC and use a PC that runs Windows 7. I noticed once we updated to Adobe CC the colors on my monitor are much richer but are actually much darker and muddy when I send the files to printer. This is especially evident in Illustrator. I even used a CMYK Pantone color for accuracy (which was a color of wine) but displayed magenta in Illustrator! Then I thought, maybe it was my NVIDIA Control Panel. So I adjusted my desktop color settings to match the colors I was going for but while that somewhat helped I knew it wasn't the answer when I noticed that the websites I went were not displaying the correct colors because they were hard to read. I am stuck and have no idea what to do. Can anyone help?

    Downgrade to previous CS where color was color.  Seriously, if you were getting correct color on output and the color appeared correctly on your monitor before you updated, then there's where the problem is.  The update.

  • Lightroom 3 exporting issue: exported JPGs come out with much more noise than original edited files

    Hi all,
    My first post here so nice to meet everyone. I've been having some issues with exporting in Lightroom recently. It appeared to happen quite out of the blue. Sometimes when I export my edited .cr2 files as jpgs (in srgb), at a good quality (no less than 85), some of resulting jpgs seem to have exposure higher and/or a horribly large increase in the amount of visable noise. It seems many of the photos which this occurs in have pretty high settings for fill light, but even still, the noise is not visable in lightroom while editing the metadata linked .cr2.
    I thought it might be the problem that I'm viewing the final exported jpgs in preview, but I also tried adding them back into the catalog and they look just as off. I just upgraded to 3.3, but it seems to be having the same issue. If anyone can please help, it would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    No sharpening at all during my export, Ian. Sometimes I sharpen for screen at a standard strength, but I turned it off when I started seeing the extra artifacts but the results of the exports remains basically the same with or without sharpening.
    However when I import it seems my photos already have some sharpening on them in the develop module. The settings there are sharpening = 25, radius = 1, Detail = 25, masking = 0. I honestly rarely mess with the sharpening, so I guess I skipped over those settings during the countless hours I have worked with LR! But I assume those are normal post import numbers, correct? I never apply development settings during import, that's why I say that. Thanks for keeping up the conversation and brainstorming Ian! Anyone else also free to chime in.

  • After exporting from Final Cut, video is brighter

    I've recently shot some footage that is actually kinda dark. shot it at night with some lights of mine. it looks great in Final Cut while i'm editing it. the light seems fine. i get nice fall off's of sides of faces and i have the rest of the face all black. it's beautiful.
    when i go to export the video (export - quicktime movie - current settings) and watch it back in quicktime, it's lighter. not extremely lighter, but to the point where in final cut it looks like someone's face is so black i can't see their eyes, then i export it, and now i can make out their eyes.
    what's going on here?
    if i left any information out please let me know and i'll help supply all the information necessary

    will that make any difference if i upload the video to youtube or vimeo? will i need to make sure that i have that option selected in quicktime before i upload it to youtube? or does it not matter if i have that selected or not when i upload?
    i just hope that it looks like it should when i send this file somewhere else where it's not playing on quicktime

  • Garageband export to wav? How much "damage" to quality if compressed?

    I've made several songs with Garageband which I want to export to my album. I am thinking of ways to get the best possible quality out of Garageband. It doesn't seem to have .wav export so I need to either export it to .m4a or .mp3 OR do a workaround and record the output of my Mac to another recording device (but that's difficult to do since my project doesn't play smoothly because of so many instruments and effects). Oh yeah and then there's option to open the project with Logic Pro 9 that I also have BUT it doesn't sound the same at all and the mixer settings are way off compared to Garageband.
    Can anyone explaing in simple terms what kind of damage to my songs quality does compressing to, for example, 320kbps mp3? I know it's not really an audible quality loss, but it's still something that bothers me.
    Or is there any other way?

    If you want CD quality don't use compression at all. Then GarageBand will export in AIFF format, the quality you get on a CD. You can compress it later to m4a or mp3 in iTunes, when your album is finished.
    Simply disable the "compress" button in the export panel, when you share your song to iTunes.

  • Newbee - too much brightness

    Hi,
    I'm a newbee on those kind of machines (sorry, was on ***** called Pc) and recently have bought a IMac Intel 24".
    I wonder how to adjust / set the brightness on the display because too too bright. The brightness is on mini but need to set it lower.
    I have read some topics (but I'm learning Mac) and seem to launch the spyder software. Is that on the Imac or have to buy it ?
    Is there any simpler way or program on IMac to do that ?
    many thanks and glad to got THE machine.

    Lobby- Does DarkAdapted work the same way? I'm thinking it has

    I've not looked at DarkAdapted (I no longer have the problem since
    upgrading from ALU 24" to white 20"), however, I believe it must do
    something similar -- because I believe the adjustment range of the
    backlight is hardware-limited to just what you see on the keyboard
    brightness controls.
    The easy way to tell is with /Applications/Utilities/DigitalColorMeter.
    Watch the "*RGB As Actual Value, 8-bit*" of a pure white background
    while "reducing the brightness" with DarkAdapted or Shades. If the
    readings don't remain at 255,255,255 the software is chopping-off
    the top of the dynamic range and compressing the color depth to
    something less than 8-bits.
    This is not a slam at DarkAdapted or Shades -- they're just doing
    the best they can within the hardware limitations imposed by Apple.

  • Bouncing and Exporting is taking up SO much memory!

    Im having an issue where every time I try to bounce or export a finished song it takes up around 50 mb.
    I must be doing something horribly wrong here but I simply can't find an explanation anywhere online.
    Does anybody have any idea whats going on?

    What format are you bouncing to?  aiff, wav?
    How long is your song?
    If your song is between 4 and 5 minutes long and you are saving it in aiff or wav at 44.1, 16-bit  50MB is normal.
    Also, hard disk space isn't memory, it's storage. RAM is memory, it helps to differentiate between the two.
