How to make colors looks same in Lightroom and Photoshop?

The colors of JPGs with sRGB colorspace are displayed differently between Lightroom and Photoshop and other image view applications.
I edited RAW images in Lightroom and export them to JPG files with sRGB colorspace, but their colors are eventually different from what I saw in LR.
(I set ProPhoto as the colorspace for my Photoshop.)
Is there anything I can do to solve this problem? Or maybe to reduce the color difference?
What is the best I can do to manage colors for those images that I want to share on the internet?
Thank you !!!

If colours look different between two colour managed applications such as LR and PS then you have either not calibrated your monitor at all or are using a corrupt monitor profile.
If the former you require a calibration device, such as a Spyder (lots of other around). If the second then re calibrate.
In the meantime you can set your monitor to use a colour space such as sRGB as a profile. This is not a solution, it is a temporary fix. Using a colour space as a monitor profile is not colour management, but will at least make the colour appear the same on your monitor.
There are some useful links concerning colour management and LR here you may wish to read.

How to make colors look same in illustrator and Flash Builder

We had a designer build out our UI using Adobe illustrator, and then tried to replicate the same hex color and alpha codes in Flash Builder- colors are looking very different on the same machine
We have used basic web colors but the problem persists. Any pointers on why this could happen?

Thanks Joan... we managed to figure out the cause to a large extent- problem
arisen by the way the layers were built in Illustrator vs Flashbuilder. I
still have the following questions, that we are currently handling via a
workaround
a) when I try to skin the container using SkinnableContainer, the skin
doesn't take effect- but works, when I use same skin with a BorderContainer.
Any idea of why this is so?
The code used is as below
<s:BorderContainer id="Banner" height="15%" width="100%"
skinClass="mySkins.newskin1">
<mx:Image id ="logo" source="assets/graphics/logo.png"
x="{0.018Banner.width}" y ="{.09Banner.height}"
height="{Banner.height*0.7}" maintainAspectRatio="true"
width="{Banner.width*0.085}"/>
<s:Label x="{0.065Banner.width }" y ="{.293Banner.height}"
fontFamily="Copperplate" fontSize="34" kerning="on" color="#666666"
text="EUREKA WORLD"/>
<s:Label x="{.88Banner.width}" y ="{.293Banner.height}" fontFamily="Arial"
fontSize="14" kerning="on" color="#666666" text="Help | Log Out"/>
<s:Label x="{.865Banner.width}" y ="{.45Banner.height}" fontFamily="Arial
Bold" fontSize="18" kerning="on" color="#666666" text="Welcome Gauri"/>
</s:BorderContainer>
Skin attached
b) we are trying to replicate the design from Illustrator(exported in fxg
format) and replicate in FlashBuilder. We would like to name the objects
meaningfully so we can connect the front-end with names in the fxg code.
Currently we see an objID. How do we name objects in Illustrator?
c) When we use a mx:vbox within a repeater to display contents of an array,
we had trouble skinning this for background color- compromise we reached was
to have the background color in the mx:vbox with a skinclass for the border
and shadow
Regards

Colors are different between Lightroom and Photoshop Elements

I have a new monitor and I have the SyderPro4 calbration software. My monitor is the Dell UltraSharp U2713HM. When calibrated with the Syder my colors are different when I go into different programs. The same photo looks different in Lightroom than it does in Photoshop Elements. When I export the picture from Lightroom to Elements the picture becomes very orange. I have already talked to Dell and to Datacolor about my issue and they both are telling me this shouldn't be happening. When I uninstall my calibration software my problem goes away, and the colors of the images stay consistant between the two programs. Does anybody have any advice to what maybe wrong?

I am having this problem too.
my site www.redsmartie.com looks fine on everyone elses computer but on mine the red background #660000 is not displaying right on the jpg images
see here http://homepage.mac.com/redsmartie/colourerror.png
I have rgb colour profiles managed by a Pantone Huey device and haven't previously noted a problem. This was added recently so I recreated the images which corrected things on my screen but made the red around the images too dark for everyone else.
The images were created in Photoshop so I changed the photoshop profile back to CinemaDisplay that it previously was on and now everyone else is ok but my screen shows the red around the images much to light.
I really need some help with this as its a disaster waiting to happen on work I do for other people, especially if I'm producing work that looks right on my setup but is wrong for everyone else!

Same color looks diffrenent in Illustrator and Photoshop?

Hello!
I need to convert a logo that I've made in Photoshop to an EPS-file using Illustrator. I've imported all the paths and filled them with the colors that I had in Photoshop. The colors I'm using in the logo is black, white and green. The black and the white looks fine but the green is not the same at all, even though I've used the exact same RBG-values. I've also selected RGB-mode in Illustrator and changed to the same RGB-profile.
Shouldn't the colors be the same when you use the same values? I've also tried this with CMYK but I still get the same problem.
I'm using Photoshop CS2 and Illustrator CS5.

Yes I have.
In Illustrator it says:
Working Spaces
RGB: Monitor RBG - sRGB IEC611966-2.1
CMYK: U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2
Color Managment Policies
RGB: Off (I can't select anything here)
CMYK: Preserve Embedded Profiles
And in Photoshop it says:
Working Spaces
RGB: sRGB IEC611966-2.1
CMYK: U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2
Gray: Dot Gain 20%
Spot: Dot Gain 20%
Color Managment Policies
RGB: Preserve Embedded Profiles
CMYK: Preserve Embedded Profiles
Gray: Preserve Embedded Profiles

Updating to the cloud (Lightroom and photoshop) lightroom 5.7 already installed

Hi !
How do I update to the CC (lightroom and photoshop) if I already have lightroom 5.7 installed and I work my photos from an external hard drive.
I have a macbook pro.
Thanks

>If I uninstall Lr 5.7 from my mac, do I have to reinport all my photos into the susscription Lr ?
No. The photos are in a catalog file, not in the application so you shouldn't have to reimport. At most you need to point the CC Lightroom to your catalog file. The subscription LR is identical to the CC one, so there really is absolutely no reason to install the CC one. I would only install the CC one when LR 6 comes out.

I subscribed for itunes imatch - it works perfectly on my i-pad and iPhone - however on my macbook - my iTunes can no longer find my songs - i don't know how to make it look to the cloud to play my music

i subscribed for itunes imatch - it works perfectly on my i-pad and iPhone - however on my macbook - my iTunes can no longer find my songs - i don't know how to make it look to the cloud to play my music - i think it keeps trying to find on the external harddrive where i used to keep my music

Of course iTunes is looking for the music on the external HDD. Enabling iTunes Match does not magically change the location of the iTunes library to the cloud.
To play the music either plug the external HDD back into your computer or create a new, empty library to use for streaming the iTM content. The latter can be accomplished by holding down the Option key when launching iTunes, choosing "create library" then enabling iTunes Match on the new library. DO NOT have iTunes scan your HDD for music.

How to make website look correct in Safari, Firefox, and Chrome?

Hello there. I'm working on a website which was inherited to me by someone who died. So I am left with all of his coding which is about 4 years old. Now I'm working on positioning of the website and i've found that the only browser the website looks like it's supposed to is Safari and I can't for the life of me figure out how to make it look right in all the browsers and on a phone or tablet. It might be easier if I started from scratch but unfortunately I don't get that luxury. Please help me.
Here's a link...MuseumOfNaturalistory.com

I dont understand what some of these errors are asking of me. For instance, this one...
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
✉
This message may appear in several cases:
You tried to include the "<" character in your page: you should escape it as "<"
You used an unescaped ampersand "&": this may be valid in some contexts, but it is recommended to use "&", which is always safe.
Another possibility is that you forgot to close quotes in a previous tag.
That's the way the code has to be in order to function. What does it want from me?
And then here....
Line 71, Column 5: an attribute value must be a literal unless it contains only name characters </div>✉You have used a character that is not considered a "name character" in an attribute value. Which characters are considered "name characters" varies between the different document types, but a good rule of thumb is that unless the value contains only lower or upper case letters in the range a-z you must put quotation marks around the value. In fact, unless you have extreme file size requirements it is a very very good idea to always put quote marks around your attribute values. It is never wrong to do so, and very often it is absolutely necessary.
Line 71, Column 5: character "<" is not allowed in the value of attribute "id" </div>✉It is possible that you violated the naming convention for this attribute. For example, id and name attributes must begin with a letter, not a digit.
I have absolutely no clue what it is asking of me. Doesn't it have to be that way? Also why when I go to "Line 71" that isn't where this actual code is? Is there some special way to decipher this?

Hi,
Through SharePoint Client Object model, how to make color coded events on Sharepoint Calendar.
Plese share your knowledge.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to make a color events Calendar.
We can achieve it using the OOB method by creating the Calendars Overlay.
http://summit7systems.com/color-code-calendar-events-in-sharepoint/
You can also use the JavaScript to achieve it.

How to make HD look like 4K

I found this article rather interesting. If I had to try and make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, I would read this one again.
RedShark News - How to make HD look like 4K

I'd forgotten about RedShark in general ... thanks for the heads-up.
And the point about the "impression" being at times more important than the reality (especially if not well handled) is well taken. Working professional stills for many years now ... I've had large prints that even at close inspection looked much cleaner, sharper, and less noisy than other photog's made who had "larger" sensors ... but did their post not as righteously as I did. How you set up & shoot the image/s in the first place matters ... as does how you handle your post & output.
Craft matters ...

Camera Raw 8 the same cropping choices as are in Lightroom and Photoshop?

Seriously, how hard would it be to give Camera Raw 8 the same cropping choices as are in Lightroom and Photoshop (i.e., Fibonacci, Triangle, Diagonal, etc.)? This disparity in features is inexcusable and embarrassing. Surely the teams communicate?

I don't have CC nor LR. Just be sure you are comparing apples to apples
That is a nice statement for a Windows guy…
I never use crop in ACR because I like this feature more in PS itself. Also the inability to save crop presets in ACR makes it very limited. The ACR engine for PS and LR are the same, the body differs.
Thanks to hard yelling people we now have about the same crop tool in PS as in LR. Although I still don't like it in PS, after having used it years and years I now have to move the image instead of the crop.
Sadly the ability to rotate crop and having adjust it automatically to the borders is a very nice option. If it wasn't for this I would stay with the old classic mode.
But the OP is right, many features in different Adobe Products have somewhat the same result but sometimes very different approaches, options and tools.
Until the Adobe HQ is going to settle in Utopia we might be better off trying to learn living with it

COLOR DISPLAY IN LIGHTROOM AND PHOTOSHOP

Hi I am a new user of Lightroom but a longtime user of Photoshop.
My question is this:
When opening the exact same TIFF file in Lightroom and Photoshop CS3 is there a way to configure Lightroom so that it will display the image exactly like Photoshop ? I mean the difference that I get is not dramatic but if there is a way to make it perfect I would love to know.
Thanks,
Claude from Montreal

Hey Claude,
if it did not have an attached profile it is almost definitely in sRGB or, more rarely, Apple RGB. Lightroom always assumes sRGB for untagged files which is typically a safe bet. Photoshop generally uses the working space for untagged images. Since you had adobeRGB there, you should get a more saturated image in photoshop then in Lightroom. The same data is simply interpreted in a different color space leading to different colors. This has nothing to do with the monitor profile therefore and my initial hunch was wrong. So for untagged images in photoshop, you should usually assign sRGB to them instead of working space.
>As for calibration hardware we do use them here so I will use it but since the Mac was brand new out the box I assumed that it was ok...
Unfortunately, in general the canned calibration is not very good on Macs. I find very large differences between the shipped profile and a profile generated by a calibrator. Also, Apple ships profiles that set your display's gamma to 1.8 instead of the standard 2.2. This leads to many images in webbrowsers being too low contrast. Even Apple suggests recalibrating your screen at 2.2 if you do digital photography work (it's in their Aperture help files). In this case though the difference between Lightroom and Photoshop had nothing to do with the monitor profile but was related to photoshop interpreting untagged files in its working space instead of the more likely sRGB space.

How well will Lightroom and Photoshop CC work on the Yoga 2 Pro?

I am looking at buying a 2 in 1 laptop. I like the Yoga 2 Pro and the reviews on it. I am wondering how well Lightroom and Photoshop CC will run on it to do photo editing like redeye, lighting, blemishes, ect. I want it to run smooth and easy.

I don't own a Yoga 2 Pro, but about resolutions:
TL;DR: If 1600x900 is an option, you shouldn't get any of the traditional blurring caused by changing resolutions.
The long version with math and some history about Apple and Lenovo:
Yes, changing a 3200x1800 native screen to 1920x1080 will make it blurry. Why? Because 3200 cannot neatly divided into 1920 and 1800 cannot neatly divided into 1080. You can't split pixels, so you get some blur as the monitor tries to round-off some things.
Buuuut, if you can set it to 1600x900 (the original Yoga's resolution, incidentally), then you might be OK. It's exactly half the native and shouldn't cause any blurring.
But, I don't own a Yoga 2 Pro, so I don't know if 1) 1600x900 is an option and 2) if there are any other weird things that happen.
But, the normal blurring that happens because you change from native resolution on an LCD is because...in the end...we can't make half-pixels. You have to use integers.
Apple was smart about this, actually:
iPhone 3GS: 480x320
iPhone 4 (first w/ Retina-branding): 960x640
Perfectly double -> no blurring. Made the whole transition a lot smoother.

Color spaces in Lightroom and Photoshop

I read that Lightroom uses the large ProPhoto color Space and then again, that it's gamma curve ist close to sRGB. So what is my color space when working in Lightroom? ProPhoto, or sRGb, or something else?
And what kind of a color management workflow between Photoshop and Lightroom do you advocate? Using ProphotoRGB or sRGB as color work space in Photoshop? I used to work in AdobeRGB in Photoshop. Has this to be changed to gain maximum color consistency?
Thanks again for any help!
