Jpeg export output is 'smudgy' vs Lr develop display

Hello Gang -
I've been blaming smudged output on facebook & Flickr - but now I've seen the true culprit !
My Jpeg export output is quite 'smudgy' vs the Develop display - and even when I use export "Email" default it is still smudgy while the Develop module displays great detail...
what needs to be tweaked please?
much thanks ~

Hello -
Ok - interesting:
I imported a jpeg into Lr and it looks very good - long story short - Windows Photo Viewer sucks
Viewed in Paint - looks good, viewed in FastPictureViewer - looks good.
Viewed in flickr - Bad. I'm installing Chrome to see if its a firefox issue
I use firefox browser, I use sRGB as the export color space (although I see no difference among the 3 default kinds.
I canot find info as to whether WPV makes use of embedded icc profiles, and after googling and reading - I have not found info as to how I would know if I am "even including an embedded profile with the files"
Flickr and Facebook display my jpegs exactly as I see them in Windows Photo Viewer - which is different from how I see it in Lr's Develop Module - in that dark brown & blacks look smudgy with much reduced detail

What color space are you using for the exported JPEG files? Are you even including an embedded profile with the files?
What do Flickr and Facebook do when confronted with an image containing a color profile?
What browser are you using to view the Flickr and Facebook images?

Exif info from JPEG exports from LR 5.6 doesn't display in some photo viewers

I've noticed that when I export JPEGs from LR, the Exif for things like the aperture, shutter speed, and exposure doesn't display in photo viewers like Gallery and QuickPic on my Android tablet. Using an Exif reader, the fields are there. I think I have traced it to: if the original image imported into Lightroom was a jpg, the Exif will display. If the original image was raw (NEF), the Exif won't display. Has anyone else seen this?

I examined your sample .jpg with Exiftool, the most authoritative metadata tool available, and I also used the following tools to examine the metadata:
OS X 10.9.5: Finder, Preview, Photoshop CC 2014, LR 5.6, exiv2
Windows 8.1: File Explorer, Irfanview 4.38
All of these were able to display the EXIF metadata, including exposure information, without problems, and Exiftool didn’t flag any nonconformities. So it seems that it’s the Android apps that aren’t conforming to the standards.
Looking at the internal structure of the LR-produced .jpg, I suspect that it is producing a layout of the IFD0, IFD1, and ExifIDF sections that the Android apps aren’t expecting (because the developers didn’t follow the standards). LR produces the following ordering: unused bytes, ExifIFD, IFD1, IFD0. A more typical ordering would be: (no unused bytes), IFD0, ExfIFD, IFD1. Both orderings conform with the standards.
You could test out this hypothesis by obtaining a copy of the free Exiftool and then in a Terminal window (Mac) or command prompt (Windows) do the following command:
exiftool –exif:usercomment=”Hello world!” sample.jpg
This will cause Exiftool to rewrite the Exif metadata in the more-common ordering. If the Android apps can now see the EXIF exposure metadata in the modified sample.jpg, then that confirms the apps are non-standards-conforming and should be fixed.

PDF Export Output in Crystal Reports Developer 10 vs. Crystal Reports Developer XI

Hi -- First post here, so forgive newbish behavior (at least for today)Quick question:Why does my output differ (margins and image size) for the same report exported to PDF via Crystal Reports Developer 10 vs. Crystal Reports Developer XI? It's the same report with the same data and same design. When XI is compared to 10, the output in XI seems to remove an extra 1/4-inch on the left, right, top, and bottom margins and makes my images shrink by about a factor of 25%.While not the end of the world, it would be nice to get an explanation as to why this happens.Thanks in advance,Amasis

Â I personally haven't noticed that myself but I'm sure it will have been reported to Customer Care if it's a more persistent issue.Â Have you tried looking this up in the Knowledge Base?

JPEG Export fails in some way

Hello guys,
we have developed a JPEG Export Plugin for InDesign server that worked fine for several years now, never having any problems. Now a strange issue occur and I need some help. When exporting an preview image of one page (containing textframes with text and tables) the preview image is correct if the dpi is smaller than 72 dpi (100% in our application). But when the dpi is equal or greater than 72 the text appears correctly on the image but the tables are missing. This problem occurs on CS4 but not on CS5 server, but there is no difference between the plugin implementation (beside the changes that were obligatory for porting the plugin to CS5). Maybe this is a known issue or someone has solution for it?
Here is the difference between the exported images (smaller than 72 dpi and greater or equal 72 dpi):

I do move some photos to OnOne or PS (for editing), then back to Aperture. In Aperture I would select-all (click) the photos I wanted to send to Sam's for printing then drag the selected items (all at the same time) onto the Sam's web site for processing/priniting. Another thought - on occassion I would have to switch-out flash-cards during shooting.
Ah there you go both pieces of the puzzle solved.
You're getting the Tiff files in Aperture from the use of the external editor. In the Aperture->Preferences->Export window is the settings for what file type to use with an external editor I'm sure your setting is Tiff.
And then by dragging the file out of Aperture rather then exporting it you are getting the Tiff.
IMPORTANT Point:
By dragging the files out of Aperture you are not really exporting them you are getting the Aperture generated preview (or in the case of the Tiff files the original). The settings in the Export window have NO effect on the image when you drag it out. In all likelihood you are not getting the size and/or resolution you think you are.
You should be exporting the versions by using the Export Versions button in the Export window. Once the versions are exported to a folder on your disk you can then drag those to the print web site. This will ensure you are getting the image size and resolution you want.

Lightroom 4.4 jpeg export VERY noisy...HELP!

Hi all,
I have Googled and quite aware of the noisy jpeg output for v5 onwards.
But I'm still using 4.4 and all I found on Google is threads for v5.
Has anyone experienced this noisy jpeg export issue?
Here's a screengrab comparing the two.

If you're seeing a reduction of noise in the Export when you increase the Lum NR slider, then it's not a bug preventing the Lum NR from being applied.
Besides increasing the noise-reduction and not sharpening the remaining noise during Export, the other thing to do is use sharpen masking to prevent non-edges from being sharpened. You use the Mask slider in the sharpen section to accomplish this.
If you hold down the Alt key while moving the Mask slider you can see what areas will have sharpening applied. Make sure that it is only the edges, not the areas between where noise is the only detail or texture. The mask slider will probably be close to 100 for optimal results with a noisy image.
You should expect there to be a little grain left in the image.

Aperture vs Adobe Lightroom (Beta 3) JPEG exports

I've been beta-testing the Adobe Lightroom product and comparing it to Aperture. I'm using Aperture 1.1.1 on a MacBook Pro.
Lightroom has some intriguing features, but I've noticed a wildly different color when exporting the same image to JPEG format from Lightroom and Aperture.
I took the same RAW image from a shot I took with my Nikon D70 and exported a JPEG from Aperture using default settings with no color adjustment. In Lightroom I exported the same image to Photoshop, and then exported a JPEG with default settings and no color adjustment.
Look at the difference:
https://www.carsonmedia.com/projects/softballphotos/phototests/photocomparison.h tml
Can anyone explain the difference? Aperture seems to export a JPEG that resembles the original.
I'm perplexed at the difference.

Yeah, looks like a colorspace issue -- I'm guessing Pro Photo, but it might not be LR's fault. Last I checked, LR actually exports PSDs, not JPEGs, in Pro Photo space to PS. So 2 possibilities:
1. LR incorrectly tagged the PSD output, so PS doesn't realize it's Pro Photo.
2. You didn't do a colorspace coversion in PS before saving the JPEG. Try using 'save to web' in PS -- it usually takes care of the sRGB conversion for you. Does it look correct in PS before the JPEG export?

Lightroom JPEG export VS Photoshop Image Processor

Hey guys:
Long time photoshop and lightroom user (long time user of all things Adobe). First post here in the forums. I did a search for my question but I think it was too specific, so it returned zero results.
My question is about Lightroom's JPEG export vs Photoshops Image Processor. When I export a RAW file to JPEG from Lightroom, the file size is freaking huge. The JPEG is as big as my original RAW file (~25mb). Settings are set to default - 100 quality. Everything else remains untouched.
However, when I use Photoshop's image processor (I launch it through Bridge, easier that way for me) and process the RAW images that way, my JPEGs are roughly 5-10mb in size. Settings in Image Processor are quality 10 and thats it. No actions being run or anything.
Can anyone shed some light as to why Lightroom exports JPEGs that are roughly 2-4 times the size of Photoshop's JPEGs? My initial thoughts are that the 100 quality setting in Lightroom is more like Photoshop's quality 12 (that always makes me think of Spinal Tap - "Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?" "These go to eleven.") Ideally, exporting out of Lightroom would be much easier for my workflow.
Thanks in advance.

You are correct: LR Quality 100 = PS Quality 12
Despite LR having 101 Quality settings (0 to 100) it actually only has 12 Quality settings the same as PS 'Baseline Standard':

I keep a small copy of the above table taped to my monitor. I chose the numbers under the 'LR' column for the 12 steps (not AA's) to make it easier to remember. In actuality ANY number in the LR Range column will produce the same results for each step.
Under the 'Typical Reduction' column notice the small amount of reduction for PS 6 (LR 47-53%) Quality setting. If interested why AND why you probably shouldn't use PS 7 (LR 54-61%) Quality setting see this post:

JPEG Export Looks Saturated in Internet Explorer

I see this question in many forums and online but without a solution.
JPEG exports (sRBG) look overly saturated when viewed in Internet Explorer browser, including when uploading/viewing in Facebook, etc, etc. In other words, the colors looks different between Lightroom and Internet Explorer. (Colors looks the same between Lightroom and Photoshop though.)
As point of reference, when you download a sample JPEG image from Canon EOS's website (used to show sample images from their cameras) you see that those images also use sRGB profile. They also look exactly the same no matter how you view them (Lightroom, Photoshop, Internet Explorer, Safari, etc.).
What is Lightroom doing to photos upon export to JPEG and you need Lightroom or Photoshop to see the same colors?
I saw some talk about it had to do with Lightroom presets and that you had to zero those out? Any ideas from Windows users?

Have you got Firefox or Safari on your machine? In which case, how do the images look in either of those browsers? Or, if you're using Windows 7, how do the images look in Windows photo viewer?
Also, can you say what monitor you are using please?
I think it might be a colour management issue. Internet Explorer is not colour managed (not even IE9), Lightroom and Photoshop are colour managed, so is Windows 7 photo viewer (but not the XP equivalent), so are Firefox and Safari (but not Chrome). When there's a difference between how something looks in an non-colour-managed program and colour-manged programs then it's worth checking for colour management issues.
If your monitor has a wider gamut than sRGB, then you would expect IE9 and other non-managed programs to look over-saturated.

Lightroom vs jpeg export

Hi,
My images do not look the same as the way they appear in lightroom. Seems like they are loosing contrast/shadows.

Yes I am using sRGB color profile when exporting.
This is my screenshot of the image in Lightroom vs Jpeg Export on the right.

Exporting Folios to share with another developer?

I did the major development on the folio for my team and now I need to hand it over to a collegaue to finish the job of publishing it. But I cannot figure out how to share it with them. If I share the folio through the Dashboard, they don't have access to publish it. If I export the folio form the Dashboard I get a zip file that InDesign doesn't seem to want to import.
How do I package the files up and give them to someone else to work with?
Thanks.
Josh.

That is essentially saying you have to rebuild the entire publication from scratch in InDesign. Is there no way to hand the finished document over to someone else to simple publish it???

JPEG exports - "optimize to file size"

just saw this tucked away in somebody's lengthy post, but i think it merits its own thread.
it would be very useful, and isnt very difficult, to implement a jpeg export option for auto-setting the quality slider based on "desired file size".
for instance, my web products need jpegs w/ a max of 800k. in PS, i have to dork around w/ the preview sliders to get this. in LR, there isnt a way. preferred for both would be UI for inputting the desired size and let the cpu do its job.
this would rock.
thanks
matt

Yes. Generally speaking, would be nice to know the exported file size in terms of MB / KB, in addition to pixel dimensions which are already there.

Adding crop marks in jpeg export

Hi All,
Is is possible to add crop marks in jpeg export similar to what we have in pdf export.
I see SnapshotUtils class but could not see any method to set crop marks.
What I need to do to set crop marks?
Regards,
Alam

Well, since there is no Crop Marks option when doing a JPEG Export (Snapshot) by hand, I would be very surprised if there were a plug-in API for it.
So I think you'll have to add your own Crop Marks before you do the JPEG Export. It isn't really that hard ... just a little tedious. You can get the general idea from the CropMarks.jsx script that comes with InDesign.

JPEG Export Problem

A few days ago, someone was commenting on funny square boxes in JPEG exports that occurred at places with spot touch up was performed. I have now experienced the same problem with a single touch up.
D70 RAW file-->single spot touch up-->export to a hi-resolution (best possible) JPEG--> ugly spot at site of touch up.

The previous thread was locked, but I never saw an answer to the problem

any help would be greatly appreciated

hi. apologies for delay in responding - have been trying to find some time to do some testing
i removed and re-installed the mogrify plugin and this seemed to do the trick. i couldn't replicate with the standard export, so i assume it was just a mogrify issue

JPEG export preferences problems

Hi.
I have indesig cs5.5 and tryed set export resolution and jpeg color space. But in my computer i can't because this properties don't existe.
In other computer this script read ok.
below the JPEG export preferences properties.
The script
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"
          tell JPEG export preferences
                    set JPEG export range to export range
                    set Exporting Spread to false
                    set Page String to "2"
                    set export resolution to 72
                    set jpeg color space to RGB
                    set JPEG Quality to low
          end tell
end tell
The properties
{«class jpEr»:72, JPEG Quality:low, Page String:"2", JPEG export range:export range, JPEG Rendering style:baseline encoding, Exporting Spread:false, parent:application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5", object reference:JPEG export preferences of application "Adobe InDesign CS5.5"}
Thanks

What was resolution in CS4 became exportResolution in CS5 (and CS5.5). Is it possible you mapped "Adobe InDesign CS5.5" to a CS4 installation on the machine it doesn't work on?
Also: I'm not an Applescript expert (or even really competent in it), so I'm probably going to embarrass myself, but... Have you tried copying and pasting the script's contents into a new file on the machine where it doesn't work rather than running the (compiled, or whatever) .scpt file?
