Lightroom 3 sRGB Export

I have a workmate who supplies JPEGs from Lightroom 3, and has them set to export with the sRGB profile, (I have checked his settings) which is fine as we use them to create PDF files for online use. However, even though they are exported as sRGB they don't seem to have that information in the actual file - the Windows filer which reports the colour space shows nothing at all for that entry - yet if I load this fle into Photoshop and save it as sRGB from there it does have the sRGB profile listed in the filer information.
The problem is there is a lot of files, and so it would be better if this information was there already, as once in Acrobat these Lightroom 3 JPEG files become dull and muted. (The PDFs created are sRGB colour space and other files from other packages show up correctly.)
Is there something we can do to ensure that the sRGB export is recognised?
Many thanks,
John

In addition to the sites given, this is a good site for checking how well you have "calibrated" your monitor:
http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/gamma_calibration.php
Pay particular attention to the 'Contrast,' 'Black Level' and 'White Saturation' tests. Without a hardware calibrator device it will be very difficult to establish the proper luminance level and color temperature, such as 100cd/m2 and 6,500 K. The Gamma setup link provided and these three tests will get you closer. For color temperature setting you can use the 'Gradient Banding' image at the above link. When color temperature is set close to the 5,500K - 6,500K, there should be a slightly "yellowish-brown" cast in the lighter areas of the gradient. It should also be uniform in color, not varying, and with no shades of red, green or blue. Even with a "trained color eye" you have a difficult time setting proper luminance level and color temperature tracking, because most monitors aren't uniform across their luminance output range (0% to 100%). A hardware calibrator can correct these non-uniformities and it helps you adjust your monitor's settings for the best results.
This of course doesn't eliminate the possibility that one or more of your Creative Suite and Acrobat color settings is contributing to the problem.

  • Adobe RGB to SRGB export Lightroom CC

    Hello
    I am getting quite the discoloration when exporting my Adobe RGB photos into SRGB with Lightroom.
    Some colors like blue gets heavily saturated, while reds/browns hidden inside in grass and foliage gets an ugly boost, making grass look very unatural.
    This color shift is visible in both Windows Explorer, XN Viewer and when i import the exported photos into Lightroom itself. Adobe RGB exports looks great. SRGB looks whacky.
    Is there any trick i can use to get more accurate color conversion in Lightroom? Right now its kind of Texas.

    I have put your file through my Lr setup and this what I found.
    1) Paper gamut warnings are very different from yours, noticeably I don't get any warning on the top left corner of the blue sky and get warnings is less of your backpack than you do
    2) I virtually get no monitor warnings (just some gamut warnings on the backpack)
    3) This is a screenshot of an AdobeRGB export and sRGB export (100% quality and 300 pixels per inch) [I have sent you the originals via Dropbox, please see private message]
    Perhaps the sRGB is a bit darker but the there isn't a huge difference between the sky.
    It could be your profile and/or your wide gamut display (as @twenty_one has said). My display is a Samsung S27B970, calibrated 2 days ago with an i1 Display Pro from x-Rite.
    Have a read through Tony Jay replies to this recent thread Soft proofing sRGB on wide gamut monitor - Lightroom Forums. It might be worth to soft proof using your monitor profile, which is what Tony Jay is doing for image 5 in his 1st reply to that thread.
    Edit: Tony Jay replies are a year old, so not that recent.

    I dont understand anything you said in your post.
    Do you have a specific question about video production?
    The forums are for individual technical or creative issues that users have with video production. I am sur someone will be able to help you, but and to get a response it is best to ask a specific question.
    Is this about a technical problem you have or something about setting up a web site? If its the latter this is the wrong forum.

  • Lightroom 5 exporting wrong file sizes?

    I am having trouble with Lightroom 5 exporting images at incorrect file sizes. For example, if I use my export preset for images with long edge 2500 pixels and maximum size 1000k it is exporting images at 1500-2500k. 
    Is anyone else experiencing this? I am wondering if it is a bug.
    Thanks

    I never had a problem with it in LR4. The example I gave was one of many options I tried. At the other end I asked it to produce smaller files (eg 1500pixels long edge) with a 1000k maximum and I could only get them to output at around 160k.
    I have since realised that I neglected to mention that I was using LR/Mogrify2 plug in to add a text graphic to the images. I experimented with turning that option off and I was able to produce a 2500px long edge file at 996k. As soon as I turn that option on again the file ouptuts at 1600k (where I have specified at 1000k limit).
    This was never a problem with LR4 so there is a conflict or a bug somewhere.
    Is anyone else using a LR / Mogrify 2 plug in and experiencing unpredictable results? I have the option to use LR / Mogrify 2's version of ImageMagick checked.
    Message was edited by: Shipp
    So I just did further testing. It seems that LR5 cannot control the maximum file size when working with Lr / Mogrify 2. If I ask the plug in to resize the image and control the maximum file size I can produce a file with long edge 2500pix, 1000k maximum size and the text graphic with no problem at all, as I used to be able to do with LR4. I will contact the plug in developer and see if they are aware of this.

  • I use Adobe lightroom to export images to Facebook - I am now getting error message related to this process address not understood- how to correct?

    I am using Win & Home edition / Mozilla Firefox on my HP laptop. On Oct 8 I used Lightroom to export images to Facebook. Now when I try to repeat this, authentication fails as The address wasn't understood
    Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (lightroom) isn't associated with any program or is not allowed in this context.
    The export process was working, but isn't now. I have ben having problems with Firefox - I wasn't able to retain the settings for opening with my own Homepage (kept going back to Firefox default. So I have done a reset. Seems that this has somehow disrupted the authentication process. Can you help please.

    I just dropped into the forums to see if other people were getting the DVD burning verification error (Error code 0x80020063). I've been holding off on the Tiger to Leopard upgrade until very recently. All of my must-have apps were anecdotally stable and I was under the impression that 10.5 was too. Apparently reliable DVD burning is Tiger only, at least on my systems.
    We've been burning Taiyo Yuden DVD's almost daily with Tiger with incredibly low failure rates. After what seemed to be a smooth upgrade of a Mac Pro tower & 2 MacBook Pro laptops (one is a Core Duo and the other is a Core 2 Duo) I've spent the entire afternoon troubleshooting until I ended up here. Some searching on the board leads me to conclude that this will be a bigger headache than I imagined.
    I've done all the obvious stuff (varied the burn speed, moved the files to a different drive, reset PRAM & SMC, used a different account, deleted finder.plist, tried repairing the system with DU on the Leopard install disc and then I tried burning on different computers with different media). What I'm finding is that over 50% of my DVD's are throwing the error code during verification across 3 different models all running Leopard 10.5.2. CD burning seems to work as before (but we don't use this as much so ?). I saw that some people had posted that closing the finder window helped, but that didn't improve my overall failure rate. The DVD's appear (indentical byte size and item numbers) to be burned correctly and usable, but I need to be sure so I can't trust them.
    We need reliable DVD burning for our business and this is a real problem. I was going to trudge over to the Apple store, but it doesn't sound like there's a real fix yet.

  • Modify Lightroom 3 export process

    I want to modify the standard Lightroom 3 export process - I want exported images to be placed in folders named from the collections that are being exported.
    Can I do this without writing a complete plugin - which would be hard work and error prone? Ideally I'd like to add an option  to the 'File Naming -> custom ' section of the export dialog.

    In the end, what I wanted to do couldn't be done in Lightroom. Here's the hoop I had to jump through to do what I needed to do.
    Lightroom doens't allow the use of a collection name in a custom filename in the export process, but it does allow lots of other attributes. I pulled down the SQLite interface library source code and constructed a dll that would work with Microsoft Visual Studio 10, and then built myself a C++ program that walked a Lightroom collection tree (well, one level of it) in the Lightroom SQLite database, and set the "Headline" field to be the same as the collection name. I chose this field because I don't use it for anything else. I can now incorporate this field into a custom filename and it all comes out lovely.
    It really didn't need to be so hard. Couldn't Adobe make their export processes just a little more open? This process is completely buried in compiled code; it's their way or the highway.

  • Lightroom 3 Export to JPEG issue ( please help) (photo attached)

    Hello,
         I have been going crazy trying to solve this issue and can't find a solution. I am using Lightroom 3.4.1 on a Mac running 10.6.7. In Lightroom I am editing raw images from a Canon 7D. I tweak and adjust the images to my liking but when I export them as a JPEG at full quality using color space sRGB my jpegs do not look like my adjusted photos in Lightroom. The biggest missing factor is all my "detail" adjustments. Sharpening ect. The colors are slightly less vibrant but the huge issue is the sharpening I do that disappears. Can anyone help me with this? I will supply an example below. On the left is the jpeg and on the right is the grab from Lightroom. I am viewing the jpegs in preview and don't have photoshop. Thanks in advance for any help!

    When you export from Lightroom and you do not select the resize option, you will get the full resolution from your original image. This contains far more pixels than your screen can display as displays are very low resolution devices (typically only around 100 ppi). When you open the resultant jpeg in an image viewer, it will have to downscale from that. Usually many times. This necessarily introduces blur and the result will strongly depend on the chosen scaling algorithm. Lightroom uses a fairly good one to downscale and it shows you a preview of a properly output sharpened image at the size you are looking at. Preview uses a particularly bad one. In preview if you want the screen pixels to correspond to the image pixels, you need to hit apple-0 (or use the view menu and select "actual size"). In Safari and Firefox, you need to click on the image to zoom in to actual pixels.
    Your comment also makes me realize that you do not really understand the sharpening in Lightroom. The detail tools in Develop are meant to optimize what is called capture sharpening. These should NOT be used to optimize sharpness at the fit view level, but only at the 1:1 view level. They operate basically on the image to correct for image blur that comes from the sensor's antialias filter and for a small amount of lens blur (say when you are diffraction limited owing to use of large f-numbers). Do not zoom out and play with the detail setting. Zoom into 1:1 on certain areas and optimize the sharpening. There are many tutorials on the web that explain this. Then when you go to output your image, you need to apply another sharpening, called output sharpening, at the final size, in order to correct for blur introduced by the output medium such as a printer or a display and by rescaling the image. The print panel has this built in. In the export panel, the options are in the lower tabs. You need to rescale the image to your final size (for example, a 533x800 pixel image is typical for a good web sized image). Then also apply the correct output sharpening in the tab below it. Typical would be to sharpen for screen at a standard amount. I showed some comparisons on this around the LR 2 timeframe here: http://lagemaat.blogspot.com/2008/08/on-output-sharpening.html The output sharpening has improved by quite a bit by now from those examples, but they show the general idea.
    Hope this helps.

  • Srgb exports look diff in safari and LR

    I've read as much as I can on the subject of colour management, LR's colour spaces and browser issues etc, but am now stuck.
    Photos from my cameras (canon ixus 30, nikon d70s, nikon d80, fujifinepix 5500) look the same in windows explorer, picasa, firefox & safari & LR.
    Which is what I expect, I shoot sRGB (unless shooting raw) and the colours look exactly the same if I use the 'profile' sRGB Color Space Profile in windows's colour management tab in display properties.
    However, I presume this is the wrong space to use, thus found and downloaded a recent (March 07) monitor profile.
    Using my monitor profile images look exactly the same in everything *except* LR; in LR they look slightly darker and more contrasty.
    What I can't understand is why the images look different in 2 colour managed programs: Lightroom and Safari.
    Is LR using my monitor profile correctly and Safari not using it (via windows) at all?
    Exporting my LR images: they look identical in everything (inc Safari) but back n LR (or if I reimport them[having exported as sRGB]) they're darker again - how can this be if Safari and LR are both colour managed?
    Should I work in LR using my monitor profile (in doing so making all my images viewed outside of LR too bright and washed out) or work with my monitor profile as sRGB (in which everything looks the same but isn't the right profile, surely?)
    Any help or clarification would be greatly appreciated.

    Great, thanks for the link- I've read that twice already and didn't see how it helped with my problem of differing colours in two colour managed applications.
    I've read 5 or 6 sites on colour management, as well as searching this forum, but haven't found anything relating to my problem.
    Has anyone encountered this before who could maybe shed a little light on this for me (rather than just another link :) )?

  • 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!!

  • 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.

  • 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':

  • Lightroom 5 Exporting and Plugin Issues

    Hello Everyone ! I would like to express my gratitude in advance for any advise or solutions the adobe community might provide me with these issues.
    I've been using Lightroom 4.3 for the last year with no issues. I decided it was time to try out Lightroom 5 and it's new features. So I installed a trial of 5.6 via creative cloud .  When I launched 5.6 it required me to update my catalog, which I did and didn't encounter any problems with the update.  The first problem I encountered occurred when I attempted to export an edited raw file. The export  progress bar stays at zero and never completes the export process, if it helps anyone , the files I am exporting to JPEG are Raw Nikon D600 files. If I attempt to do anything else while Lightroom is stuck in the export process , the program will become unresponsive and  I'm not even able to kill the process via windows task manager. My second problem is the Plugin manager , on Lightroom 4.3 I use the Smugmug upload plugin . On 5.6 the plugin manager crashes every time I attempt to setup the Smugmug plugin. I've tried other third party plugins and those cause Lightroom to crash as well so I don't believe it's just the Smugmug plugin. I've tried every possible solution I was able to find doing web searches but nothing has worked so far...
    The following is a list of steps I took to try to resolve the issues.
    -In the export screen I made sure that "Do nothing" was swtiched to "go to explorer" in post processing
    - uninstalled all plugins
    - Unistalled and reinstalled Lightroom 5.6
    -Uninstalled Lightroom  4.3 (perhaps a conflict ?)
    -Created a new catalog and imported new files to that catalog
    -disabled firewall and antivirus
    - Tried various JPEG re-sized dimensions
    - Tried to export to various Drives ( local, and external drives)
    -Ran Lightroom 5.6 as an administrator
    -Deleted Preference File
    Hopefully everyone can see I've tried my best to find a solution but to no avail , it's quite frustrating since I really want to upgrade to 5.6 .  I hope someone can provide a solution or point me in the right direction ! Sorry if this post is too long!

    So I just did further testing. It seems that LR5 cannot control the maximum file size when working with Lr / Mogrify 2. If I ask the plug in to resize the image and control the maximum file size I can produce a file with long edge 2500pix, 1000k maximum size and the text graphic with no problem at all, as I used to be able to do with LR4. I will contact the plug in developer and see if they are aware of this.

  • Droplet not working correctly in Lightroom 4 Export

    Having finally found time to understand how droplets created in Photoshop work I realised I could save a huge amount of time by integrating droplets into my workflow through the Lightroom export dialogue.
    I will not regail you with the hassle I had with CS6 creating droplets to start with. My question here is how to get LR4 to export and run the droplet correctly. My export preset is set up to do the following.
    Export the selected file (RAW files chosen in my instance) to a subfolder named Processed.
    Save those exported files as PSD at full resolution and with -processed added at the end of the file
    Run a droplet that I created and placed in the export actions folder on the newly created files.
    Import the resultant files back into lightroom
    Using some test images I was able to watch as the images were exported and photoshop CS6 ran the action on the files and closed them off. When I checked the images in lightroom however there was no sign of the action having run! I opened the files up in Photoshop to confirm this (The action should have created a number of layers)
    I wasted the best part of a morning trying various droplets and droplet settings to no avail. It was only when i went into Bridge, to test the droplet from there, that I suddenly discovered what had happened. The droplet had run and the revised file had been created. Unfortunatley instead of saving the revised PSD file over the original in the subfolder it had in fact saved it back with the RAW files in the original root folder. Of course there was no way of realising this in lightroom unless I decided to sync that folder, which I had no cause to do.
    I have gone over the setting in Lightroom and I'm convinced it should do what I am expecting. All the books state that Post processing is carried out after the files have been created so should be carried out on the files in their new location. It apears however that LR4 is carrying out this process DURING export so causing the droplet to save into the original folder location. Not what I want and totally useless to me.
    In terms of the droplet and action. The droplet was set to save and close. I did originally have a save command in the action, as instructed in tutorials, but removed it to see if that was causing the problem. Neither option made any difference to the problem.
    To me it does seem there is a bug in Lightroom 4 but i have not found anyone else reporting this problem so am I missing something or not interpereting the export functions correctly?

    You cannot go back.
    Have you tried a reset, restore to address your issue?
