Image appears different in Library and Develop modes?

I have an image that appears different depending on whether it is in the Library Module or the Develop Module. Only this one image does this. The develop module version is the one I want to work on in Photoshop. However, when I click on "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS3" the resulting tiff that opens in PS has an appearance that matches that of the Library module version of the image. It makes no difference whether I click on "Edit in PS CS3" from the Library or Develop module, the tiff always matches the Library Module version of the raw file.
Any ideas what might be causing this?
Thanks.

How are you calibrating your monitor? The only real difference between the Library and develop module is that the Library module shows a preview that is generally stored in the adobeRGB color space. The Develop module uses a color space based on prophotoRGB primaries and can encompass any color your camera can capture. It is possible that your green falls outside of adobeRGB and gets clipped in the library preview, while in the develop module it shows them. This is only possible to see if you have a wide gamut monitor, or when your calibration software generates a perceptual rendering intent. If you export and you do not use the prophotoRGB color space, you will loose these colors.

  • In Lightroom CC images look different in Library and Develop modules. After output, images do not appear as they do in Develop.

    As above.

    Mac OS X 10.9.5 has a color management bug that can lead to colors appearing different in Develop and Library: Jao's photo blog: Serious color management bug in Mac OS 10.9 "Mavericks" . See also: Jao's photo blog: Further quantification of the Mavericks color management problem and Jao's photo blog: Color management in Safari is broken in Mavericks too. Sorry for all the links to my blog, but this bug really annoys me and it bugs me that it hasn't been fixed all these months that Mavericks has been out. This can lead to color shifts especially in the deep tones. You can sometimes work around it by turning on soft proofing and proofing to adobeRGB or sRGB. Adobe could fix this but they haven't so far. Apple could fix it too, but they haven't until now. They fixed some code that lead to Aperture working correctly but Lightroom still has the problem.

  • Second screen Full screen preview - library and develop mode next to eachother?

    Hello,
    I got a two Display Setup.
    I like to have the current selected Image in "Develop Mode" Fullscreen on the big display and all the sliders on the smaller second Screen togeather with the overview of the Library.
    How is that possible?
    Cheers

    I've seen that in the past with other versions of LR. It usually means that your previews database has got messed up. Deleting all previews, previews.db and root-pixels.db, and clearing the acr cache, and then creating new previews solved it for me. It took a day or two (65K previews)

  • Library and Develop Module Photos Appear Different

    I am using Lightroom 4.4   Dell Ultrasharp monitor is calibrated.  I own and have been referring to Scott Kelby's Lightroom4 book for digital photographers.  I recently took some photos of my daughters prom.  She had on a beautiful reddish orange dress.  I notice that the dress appears very red in the develop module, however, appears a bit more orange in the library module.  The change is very noticeable between the modules.  The dress also appears similar to the library module view (a bit more orange) when viewed on the web via Flickr utilizing Chrome, Firefox, or IPad.  It also appears the same when exported to a JPEG file.
    I have done some experimenting and have determined that this color change effect appears to be very noticeable utilizing the Adobe Standard Camera Calibration Profile.  It does not happen (at least to a noticeable extent) with the others such as Camera Standard where the dress appears a bit more orange in both the library and develop module.  I do, however, like the appearance of the Adobe Standard profile better and this happens to be the default profile as well.
    I have also noticed that the dress looks more orange when Soft Proofing is enabled.  The change happens immediately when the check box is enabled.  Checking the box makes the photo appear similar to the Library module view.  Enabling Soft Proofing does make noticeable that there is Destination Gamut Warning which mainly involves the dress which is the point of interest, however, there is no warning with the Monitor Gamut Warning.  I am intending to place the photos on the web at this time via Flickr.  I will be printing several later so will be worrying about the printer gamut at that time.  But for now, I would like to get the photos on the web looking as intended.
    Having the photos look so different in the Library and Develop Modules is very frustrating.  I am hoping that there is a simple setting or fix for this problem that I am experiencing.  Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

    Hi Victoria. Thanks for your reply. Re the saturation of the yellows, an example of a photo which shows the behaviour is that of a sunflower shot in direct sunlight. So a typical bright yellow. The raw files are from a D7000, so I have several "camera" profiles to choose from in LR4, in addition to the default Adobe Standard. None of the camera profiles show a difference between Library & Develop. Also, the Adobe Standard profile only shows the described behaviour when yellows are present. I can find plenty of examples where the photos are identical between the two modules when there are no yellows in the shot. I doubt this is a monitor profiling problem, given that it affects just the Adobe Standard profile, however I will try re-profiling. My U2412M display is not wide gamut. I posted here because the issue I am seeing sounds very similar to the original poster's. We're both using Dell Ultrasharp displays, although that could be a coincidence. I'll see if I can get some screen grabs from my Mac and upload here later today. I'm on my Windows 7 laptop at the moment.
    R
    Update:
    I have a pair of screen grab JPEGs from the Mac which I'm happy to share, however the upload here in the forum is limited in size. Any suggestions how I can best share the full size JPEGs?
    Re-profiling hasn't changed anything. I'm pretty sure my profile is good. Ambient natural lighting, monitor warmed up, etc. Native white point used as always. The difference between profiled and unprofiled is very subtle. The U2412M appears to be pretty accurate at factory settings.
    If I turn soft proofing on in Develop I see the less saturated image which matches Library. Turning it off again and the differences return.
    LR4 on my Windows 7 laptop doesn't have the same problem. The screen on that is calibrated with the same Spyder3, however the laptop's screen is of a mediocre quality compared to the U2412M.
    Found another thread where the poster is having the same problems with yellows, this time in LR5.

  • Images displaying differently in Library view to Develop - also affecting Exports

    I've run in to a strange problem since the 4.1 upgrade.
    When displayed in the Library view, images are not appearing correctly.  In my case, there is a huge amount more noise in the Library view compared to the Develop view.  This is also affecting Exports.
    I have been unable to find any answers online, and only found one other case of this reported via a You Tube video.
    Any ideas?!
    Many thanks
    Rick

    I am assuming you have a correctly calibrated monitor calibrated using a hardware calibrator. Lightroom sometimes shows the aforementioned problems with canned monitor profiles on windows machines. Now that out of the way:
    I am also having this problem - the library view is closer to the printer output - very frustrating! In dev mode the image is lighter - sometimes appears to be too hot, but in library and during print it is just right. This was not a problem in 3 - what's the fix?
    Have you tried seeing what happens when you soft proof for the paper profile in the Develop module?
    It seem the fit views do not match up...the confusion comes in that it seems the fill views sometimes do, and sometimes do not match. when the images appear different, I've the sense in dev the images are brighter and hotter.
    This can happen if your image is very noisy or has a lot of high frequency detail. The sharpening preview in fit view that is applied in Develop tends to brighten images with lots of noise or detail. It also happens when you are applying a lot of color noise reduction and have a lot of colored detail. SInce Lightroom cannot really show you the result of this correctly but for when looking at 1:1, this results in the Fit preview showing more color saturation than there really is.

  • Color shift between Library and Develop module

    Hi,
    I recently noticed a color shift between in the image when going from the library to the develop module. Yes, I know this is mentioned in the FAQ, but I did not find the solutions given there to be satisfactory.
    Let me explain what happens: I have taken Photos with my Canon EOS 300D, in Jpeg mode with Color Space in the Camera set to AdobeRGB. The photos I am talking about were taken with Tungsten light with auto white balance and have a distinct orange color cast. I use Windows XP and view my Photos on a LCD Display calibrated with the Pantone Huey system. The Lightroom Library Module and Photoshop CS2 both display the original image almost identically (there are no changes applied inside Lightroom or Photoshop, I view the original image in both applications). Photoshop is set to use the Adobe RGB Color space as its working Color space, Softproofing is switched off. However, when I switch to the Develop Module, the colors (especially the orange hues) shift very noticably toward pink. I can only assume that the Colorspace conversion or maybe some implicit soft proof used differs between the modules. So, to restate the problem: If I switch back and forth between Library and Develop, without changing anything and in 1:1 view to avoid errors introduced by different zooming methods, the colors shift quite drastically back and forth.
    I have to say that this is really quite annoying. The whole point for me to use the develop module is to use it to make adjustments to the colors, and for this to work properly I have to see the same colors in both modules and in Photoshop. There is no point in correcting a pink color cast away in Develop that is not even there in either the library module or Photoshop (and that would then have a stronger orange tint because I tried to counter the pink tint in develop).
    So this leads me to the final question: Is it possible to tell Develop to use the exact same color settings as the Library Module? Or is there another way to compensate for the color shift?
    I hope I was clear in what happens and what I tried to do. If it helps I can gladly provide a sample photograph that clearly illustrates the point.
    Thank you in advance for your help,
    Daniel

    Thanks for your comments, Don and Fred. I hope that this issue will be worked on soon.
    Fred, I have set the Preview Quality to High, but it doesn't seem to make any differences concerning the color shift. I have investigated this matter further by now and made the following observations:
    *The color shift is a lot less noticable on my laptop (the laptop screen is also color profiled). On my laptop the change is more of a subtle shift in contrast than in color. This might be caused by the smaller color gammut of my laptop display though.
    *I have uploaded a testimage so that others can check if this shift occurs at their workstations too - after all, it might be a misconfiguration of my color management software, though I doubt that (because Adobe already states that library and develop render different previews). I would be interested if the color shift I describe is noticable at other workstations too. The link to the testimage: http://www.danyx.com/colorshift.jpg (permission to use the image to test the color reproduction is of course granted hereby).
    Thanks for your help, I hope Adobe will listen soon,
    Daniel

  • Sharpness between library and development module

    for some reason, after working on photo and putting it back into library if i open the very same shot in development all the other new work will be present but the shot will look less sharp. if i flick back to library it sharpens up again. The same happens a little differently in CS6. Here, if i zoom just a litle the shot sharpens to what it should be but if come back out it softens a bit.
    Bit weird really
    Can anyone help ? I'd like them all to look exactly as they are shoudl obviously...

  • Do we need a Library and Develop Module?

    Do we really need a Library and Develop module? There's lots of dissatisfaction with Lightroom speed and one of the problem areas is when switching from Library, when in standard preview or 1:1, to Develop and the 'loading' message appears or as on my mac the dreaded spinning beach ball goes crazy. Even with all the previews created it's still slow.
    So, if we have a standard preview or 1:1 loaded why can't we automatically be ready to apply any adjustments and save an extra step to another module? The quick develop in the library seems unnecessary and I've never used it. That leaves the metadata and keywording panels requiring a new location, but again these are not something I need to refer to on a regular basis.
    Anyone else any similar thoughts?

    > ...but I'm pretty darn sure there won't be any back-stepping to REMOVE or substantially alter LR's basic premise...pretty sure Develop will always be about dealing with a single image adjustment (and applying that adjustment to other images if you wish).
    And I'm okay with this premise, but it needs additional functionality, such as the ability to apply relative adjustments. It already has this via the keyboard shortcuts while hovering. It just needs a UI adjustment (I once did a mockup of this, and I think it works) and the ability for autosync to recognize them as relative adjustments to the other images.
    It also needs additional views. Grid, survey and compare would be nice, but you're only adjusting a single image's RAW data rendering at a time - the others are shown as previews and adjustments to them are rendered that way (like Library does).
    The issue is, many people like me end up switching modules far too often. I generally go back and forth between Library and Develop hundreds of times per day. That's way too many times to be suffering the module-switching penalty. I'd prefer to select the images I'm working on in Library, and never see that module again until I'm done working on them. For now, grid and survey are too often needed, and so are relative adjustments.
    Develop already has most of the needed functionality. Relative adjustments are already available to one image, a grid is available but only at 1 row (film strip supplied by Library) and a quick-render (the image in the upper left) is available as well. This just needs to be expanded and adjusted so that going back and forth to Library isn't as necessary as it is now. Ideally, you'd import in Library, to your metadata stuff there or in other related modules, choose the image group you want to work on using filters/folders/collections/find, then go to Develop and work on them until you are done.

  • LR 5 slow in Library and Development module

    Hi,
    Used LR 5's trial version for a month and then bought full version last week. Withing 2-3 days of useage, started experiencing time lag to import, view, edit and export images. Even a simple exposure correction takes couple of seconds lag !!
    Any solution to this issue?

    How can I make an image appear partially in front and partially behind another layer in Adobe Illustrator?

    Put the image behind the layer (at the back of it or on a layer below). With it still selected, Copy.
    Now Paste in Front (Ctrl+F). Depending on your Paste Remembers Layers setting, you may have to bring the newly pasted copy to the front, or to the upper layer.
    Draw a shape over the image to define the portion of it you want to appear "in front."
    With the shape and the image selected, clip the image using the shape. (Object > Clipping Mask > Make)

  • Lightroom 5 differences in image with library and develop

    HI, i am new to this forum and light room so maybe this is somewhere. however i am having some issues with my images been different in the develop mode and the library tab. this is also affecting what is exported, with it been the library version not the developed version. mainly it is that the noise reduction and sharpening is not been shown in the other views. i have tried a bunch of things but nothing seems to work. the shots i have noticed it on were shot at ISO 800-1600 and varying shutter speeds of 3seconds and above.
    if anyone has any expereince or and answer/solution to this that would be awesome. this is something that is very frustrating to have happened with this product
    thanks

    Fast editing, controlling more sliders at once, using the mouse or tablet just for brush work or cropping, the rest with sliders or knobs(the better choice), you could look the most time just on the image and the changes, and have no need to look on the sliders.
    And just that physically feeling..
    Oh and actually like I wrote, solutions are existing, but mostly for Mac(Knobroom,PFixer), and it makes sense..the mapping under Paddy is pretty nice, an example image of a list is here. And you can set the functions for more "pages" on the controller, that means you can set really tons of settings. But Paddy "works" for LR 5.2 in a beta version..

  • Dark areas in photos looks different in Loupe and Develope

    First let me say that I´ve created a similar thread in lightroomforums.net.
    Let me also add that I´ve made extensive research on the web and also read this post: Why does the color and or tone of my image change after import?
    This is my current setup.
    I run lightroom 5.6, OSX 10.10.
    I have been shooting with a 7D or a EOS M in RAW, Adobe RGB With picture style set to standard and no JPG´s.
    I have imported my photos as DNG´s with no develop settings applied and build previews set to 1:1 (I have tried different settings here).
    I have my Catalog Settings / Preview Cache set to 2880 pixels, quality: High (I have also tried different settings here) (I have a very big screen)
    Now to my problem.
    Now when I review my photos in 1:1 (or any other size) the dark areas looks good in develop module but when i go back to Loupe the dark areas have a slightly brighter, less contrast look.
    This problem only occurs in the darkest parts and does not effect the rest of the image. The overall picture looks the same except for the very darkest parts.
    I have tried different monitor calibration settings but the issue persists.
    I have tried to create a new catalog, import some new shots but with no difference.
    I have also done the same but instead of import to DNG´s I have copied the CR2´s, no difference.
    I have tried to optimized the catalog and I have also "Update DNG previews and metadata", no difference.
    When "edit file in photoshop CC" the version of the photo that opens in photoshop is the "Loupe" view.
    This only happens with RAW/DNG files and not with TIFF or JPG.
    Here is a picture that in my case looks very bad in Loupe view but significantly better in Develop View: Dropbox - IMG_3662.dng
    I will also try to post two screendumps at 2:1 from the the two views. The picture with more darks in it is the screendump from the develop module and the less dark is from the loupe view.
    Why is this occurring? How can I stop it?
    Any help is highly appreciated.
    UPDATE:
    I have taken 4 new shots with the same setup as described above.
    But with different color settings and picture styles.
    Adobe RGB - Standard
    Adobe RGB - Neutral
    sRGB - Standard
    sRGB - Neutral
    With the same results. Dark areas look darker in Develope module.

  • Image Displays Differently in PS and Br CS4

    I have a gs tif file that I converted to cmyk.

    Color settings are synchronized in CS4.
    Can anyone tell me why: 1, the images are displaying differently, and, 2. using Convert To Profile, cymk, Working CMYK US Sheetfed Coated v2, image appears to have a distince cyan cast? And why, for that matter, is the GS image showing uneven cmyk percentages?
    Thanks in advance

    the images are displaying differently
    Have you proofing enabled in both of them? Even if the profiles match otehrwise, that option still has to be toggled.
    image appears to have a distince cyan cast?
    Well, if you print CMYK, you want "rich black", which means that it needs to be underprinted with another color to not look like a dull gray. Only spot black/ text black does not require that. That's not the point here, though. It's really due to the conversion being done wrong. If you really want to retain the blacks as a pure channel, use the method described. Also, if you can, in the future simply start out in CMYK to avoid these issues.
