Lightroom jpeg export problem

I exported about 300 photos into jpegs from Lightroom. They all showed up very dark in Windows photo viewer. They look great in lightroom but each photo had an upward arrow on it and the following dialog box came up saying: The metadata for this photo has been changed by another application. Should Lightroom import sedings from disk or overwrite disk settings with those from the catalog? What is happening and how do I fix it?

Same here with LR 5.5. Just generated a few hundred jpegs to further process them in web applications for some online albums. One example is a QNAP NAS that has to generate smaller jpegs. It was working perfectly with LR5.4 and all older versions of LR. But as soon as I exported jpegs from LR 5.5 only grey rescaled images with some "noise" are depicted/generated. Had to go back to LR5.4 and it is now working as expected.
Adobe: Please do not try to fix something when it is not broken and get a fix for the "fix" ASAP. This is not acceptable for the prices we pay as we are not talking about freeware or shareware where somebody is programming in his free time. Most likely these guys would have already posted a fix for the issue.

Lightroom 5.5 jpeg export problem

I am using jAlbum to create photo albums on the web with images exported with Lightroom. Since I am using Lightroom 5.5 for the export I am get an error message whenever I create an Album with jAlbum which says "inconsistent metadata read from stream". As jAlbum uses Java the Java version may aslo matter. I am using the latest Java update from Oracle on a Windows 7 Professional x64 machine. With images exported with Lightroom 5.4 there is no problem. Also changing metadata options in Lightroom's export dialog did not help.
Is there a known problem with the Lightroom 5.5 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 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.

Lightroom 4 exporting problem

Hi,
I have been using Lightroom for years without any problems.
Today I had a problem exporting editing images to DNG. Lightroom will only export the original unedited versions to DNG. If I export to JPG I get the edited versions, but it will not export the edited versions to DNG.
Any help much appreciated.

Hi Victoria,
even when I import the exported DNG into a new LR 4.3 catalog, it doesn't pick up the corrections that were made by the original LR 4.3 catalog to the DNG... This is the first time I'm encountering this... The jpegs, tiffs etc do have the corrections applied, just not the DNG... very weird. So basically I cannot detach my DNG's from the LR 4.3 catalog at the moment...

Lightroom color export problem

Hello there. When I export a photo in lightroom it does not export the photo with the same colors as in lightroom. It loses some of the warmth, and that not very helpful. The problem might very well be in lightroom, because when I convert to black and white the picture still has a slight yellow-ish color to it, but when exported it becomes regular black and white. I've tried all the export color settings and that doesn't help. I have also checked if there is a filter that applies when importing, but there don't seem to be. What do you guys think?
I've just exported and open the photo on the left.

You see that the histogram also has a slightly yellow tint? That's because you have a corrupted monitor profile. You can confirm it using these instructions: http://members.lightroomqueen.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/1137/188/how-do-i-change-my-m onitor-profile-to-check-whether-its-corrupted

LR2.1 jpeg export problem

i'm running LR 2.1RC and i've noticed that if i highlight a number of images to export using a preset which resizes my files and exports as a jpeg the images are occasionally exported as tifs. if this happens then the next time i export an individual image with 'export previous' or the preset, it's also exported as a tif. If i choose 'export' then click ok, it's exported as a jpeg. all quite weird/annoying ! (i'm also running the latest version of mogrify if that makes a difference)

How can I get Lightroom to export my edit to a jpeg that looks the same ?

Hi everyone,
I can't get my jpeg export to look the same as it looks in lightroom after edit.
The jpeg isn't that different but still, way too much for me.
I did use sRVB, 100% no scaling etc... but it seems the export won't take "all" of my noise reduction correction..
This is a portrait shot in lowww light, and the raw file was rather crappy. Eventhough I was really happy with my smooth final edit but I can't get my jpeg to look as clean.. please someone help meee !
Regards,

What infos can I give you all to help me sort this problem out ?
export : quality 100%
             sRVB
             no scaling
In lightroom my image is just clean whereas after export, I can notice some artifacts or "moire", and it feels like the noise reduction/sharpen tool doesnt apply its correction as it should.. but it still does a bit bc it's not as if I turned it off completly...
This is driving me crazy
I'm about to install RC3 and try with it...

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.

Lightroom 4.4 jpeg export watermark issue

Not sure abbout the older LR versions because I only tried this on LR 4.4.. After I edited my Raw images shot by Nikon D600, I'd like to export them to Jpeg format with my watermark. The watermark will not show if I exported the images in original size (6016 x 4016) as shot. However the watermark works fine if I resize the images to a smaller size, such as 1200 x 1024. Has anyone experienced the same issue? How can I work around it?

Irrespective of the rights/wrongs about exporting full resolution jpegs, the problem you describe sounds like the long-standing watermark bug. Basically there are certain circumstances whereby a text-based watermark will not show on the exported jpeg, and the factors that influence this are as follows:
The font being used for the watermark.....only certain fonts may be affected, e.g. Lucida Calligraphy is one. But even then the bug may not occur, as it also depends on:
a) The pixel dimensions specified for the output file. The larger the pixel size, the greater the risk that the bug will bite (as you have already discovered).
and/or
b) The proportional size as specified in the watermark editor....again the larger the size, the more likely the bug will bite.
So the workarounds are:
1) Try a different font.
2) Try reducing the pixel dimensions for the output file.
3) Or try reducing the specified proportional size.

Lightroom 4.1 export problem

Lightroom 4.1 will not export a deleloped image. I have the metadata to new file set to automatic and I get no error mesage. All my new exported files are the same as the original. I need a detailed discription of what boxes need to be checked or unchecked and where to find them. Something as simple as saving changes so that I might use them in another app should not be so difficult- version 2.7 worked fine so what's up with 4.1?

Still no luck... I just purchased a licence for my demo version- I was hoping not to have to do a 1.1Gb download and/or redo my my catalog- is this required?

Are you saying that LR4 is exporting over the top of your exiting images, or that it is not exporting anything?   To test whether you can export anything, try exporting to a subfolder under your originals, instead of new names in the original images folder, which I think is what you’re saying you’re attempting: On the Export panel, all the way at the top, make sure to set Export To: to Hard Drive. Set the Export Location – Export To: value to Same folder as original photo. Put a checkmark next to Export Location – Put in Subfolder Enter in “output” into the Export Location - Put in Subfolder: textbox. Uncheck the Add to this Catalog unless you really want to include the output of this experimental export in the catalog. Set Export Location - Existing Files to Ask what to do, so LR will indicate if it’s trying to overwrite the same files, again, which it should if the output subfolder is empty. Uncheck the File Naming – Rename To: so the files aren’t renamed. At the bottom change Post-Processing – After Export to Show in Explorer Click the Export button and see what happens. It should do the export then open up Windows Explorer on the output folder you specified.    Before doing any of this, it might be wise to make a screenshot of your current Export settings, the Export To and File Naming sections at least, which you can both post here and use to reset things back from what I’ve specified, above.

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?

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?

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.

I would like to use slideshow in lightroom to export my video as a full screen 1920x1080 video with text overlays. I am using text overlay in lightroom as it reads from the metadata that is easy for me to input in the library screen. When i export from lightroom slideshow and choose the 1920x1080 resolution the end product is a very small video in the middle of a black background. i have double checked and do not have any borders turned on. Another option would be to export from the library but lr mogrify does not seem to put text overlays on video either. Any input would be welcome.

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.
