LR exporting jpegs completely differently all of a sudden?

I have noticed within the last few days that all the jpegs I'm exporting are suddenly completely different than what shows on screen in the develop module. The are exporting way over-sharpened and with too much contrast. To my knowledge, I didn't change any settings and the Export gui looks the same as it always has (set to export at 100 quality, 300 dpi). I have been using Lightroom for years and never had this problem before. Any ideas??

Here is an example. I've also looked through other photos I've shot and edited in the last month (that exported from Lightroom correctly at the time) and they are now displayed differently in Lightroom vs the jpg. So I think Lightroom must not proprerly applying/displaying the edits I'm making in the develop module. But it's only happened in the last couple days and I have no idea why. Is there a solution?

  • Exported JPEGs colour different in Flickr

    I've noticed the topic of colour difference in images come up a lot but after a cursory search, I couldn't find anything on my particular problem.
    I shoot in RAW, colour correct and then export to JPEG. The changes show up fine in my mac's standard applications but then when uploading to Flickr, the colours become dull and not as I adjusted them.
    Is this to do with my browser or Flickr or what? How can I change it, or at least when I make adjustments in LR how can I see what it would look like when I upload it? And finally, does everyone who sees my Flickr photos see the same colours or will some browsers show the colours as I intended them and some not?
    Thanks :)
    -Daniel

    >There are several factors involved for which screen profiling has nothing to do with the overall underlying process, because it is not a visual issue.
    Actually it is crucial.
    >There is currently no way in LR to predict what the output image will look like when converted to a different color space. When it comes to the final image, it may look almost identical, or it may look very different. If the image starts in ProPhoto and contains a color range that fits within sRGB, then a conversion to sRGB will not look very different. But if the ProPhoto image contains colors outside of sRGB, the conversion will result in many color changes.
    Sorry Edward but read up on this. This is NOT true. If you do not have an ultrawide display, you CANNOT see the difference between the original in prophoto and the sRGB conversion even if the original has colors outside sRGB. This is because there is only one intent in sRGB and since the display profile is smaller than sRGB, the conversion to sRGB will result in the exact same image being displayed.
    >Jao, you lost track of the thread. The original poster stated that the image looked the same in a color managed browser, but then it was pointed out that he was accidentally uploading and viewing a non-sRGB image, so yes, the browser was an influence. As soon as he went back to uploading an sRGB image the problem came back.
    No the image looks exactly like the original in a color managed browser, even in sRGB. It ONLY looks different in a non-managed browser just like you expect since the display is not precisely sRGB. This is simple color management stuff. The lady's red coat in Daniel's image for example is not at all outside of sRGB and still the color changes when viewed in a non managed browser. This effect is simply due to the monitor profile being less wide than sRGB.
    >It all boils down to this: in this case the original image does not convert very well between a wide color space and a narrow color space. In order for the image to look better when brought into the narrow color space, it may have to be tweaked once it is in that secondary color space so that it looks closer to the original. And a correctly calibrated and profiled monitor should be used throughout the process.
    This is all true, except for the fact that you're going to a space wider than the monitor profile, so you simply cannot see it! This space also does no real perceptual rendering. No tweaking is necessary since the result looks EXACTLY like the original as long as you view it in a color managed app. If you use non-managed apps, all bets are off and you cannot trust anything you see, except when your monitor is precisely sRGB. The worst thing you can do is try to make an image look good in an unmanaged app. You will only make matters worse.

  • Export Sounds Completely Different Than What Is Heard Before Mixdown

    Hey everyone,
    So I've been recording a band as of recent and been starting to understand the in's and out's of GarageBand. However, I can't seem to figure out why this is happening.
    I've been working on one song (all tracks except the drums are real instruments captured through line-in) and finally got it sounding the way I want it. When I go to export and listen to it, it sounds the complete opposite. Awful thumps and enough peaking to blow any speaker. This only happens when I export. When it's in GarageBand, it sounds great.
    Hopefully someone can help me out!
    -Noah

    Plus: GB is sort of tolerant towards clipping at playback - it will sound okay even if the meters hit the ceiling. But once exported, the clipping is a pain to the ears. (This probably has to do with the fact that GB's internal representation works with more bits than the exported file.)
    So: Watch your meters!

  • Why does siri sound different all of a sudden?

    So I'm currently using a Verizon iPhone 5s and got it about 2 weeks ago. When I first used siri she had more of a fluent human like voice but now she sounds robotic, like how when the iPhone 4s came out with siri she sounded robotic.

    There could be a number of reasons, first thing to check is if you are clicking Command + or Command -. The Command 0 keystrokes restore Safari to the actual size. You can also reset Safari by Safari - Reset.

  • I am getting a white circle exclamation on my iPhoto jpegs that happened all of a sudden with no prior issues. Anyone else seeing this.

    From out of nowhere I am getting a white circle with an exclamation point when I open previously downloaded images in iPhoto.  Never had this before and it is only on select pictures with no apparent distinction.  Has anyone seen this?

    You have corruption in your library and the connection in the database between the thumbnails and the photos has been lost
    Back up your iPhoto library, depress the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild your library

  • When I open an exported image after editing it, it is completely different than the image in Lightroom

    I edit an image in Lightroom and happy with the results I export (save) onto my computer.  When I then open the image it looks completely different to the one I just edited and saved!  Very frustrating!  I did not take it in raw format,  I have taken all the photos already and cannot retake them. I am new to Lightroom, only on trial at the moment.
    Help much appreciated

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on eight different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.

  • Imported NEF appears much different in LR than exported JPEG

    Hello there, hopefully someone can help me with this issue. I am using a Nikon D200 w/ LR 2.0 on WinXP Pro. The NEF image I am editing in Lightroom appears much different than what is exported from that image into a jpeg (it does not matter whether it is sRGB, AdobeRGB, or ProPhotoRGB). In lightroom the image is darker and more yellowish than what LR exports from this image. Here is a
    link to an image showing exactly what I am talking about. The image on the right is in LR, and on the left is the exported jpeg preview, which looks the same in firefox or windows picture and fax viewer. Just to note, the exported image looks to be correct with what I preview on my camera, LR is what is off. I have also tried all the camera profiles by adobe labs and none of them seem to make things correct. Any help would be awesome, this is driving me nuts because I have no idea what my outputted image is actually going to look like.

    The reason why this happens is that Windows has associated an incorrect profile with your monitor. The only way to get a correct profile is to calibrate but you can also cheat and make windows assume your monitor is sRGB (which it isn't). To do this, go to your monitor's properties page, go to the color management tab and delete any profile shown there. This will make Windows assume you have a perfect sRGB monitor and will make Lightroom appear identical to sRGB exports in every other program (even unmanaged ones). They will all be slightly off colour though, even Lightroom, but will probably look like your friend's monitor. After you have done this as a first-aid measure, go out and buy a real calibrator.

  • Help - i recently made put together a high quality movie for a relative, it has taken me months to complete and it goes for a total of 9 hours and 43 minutes ,however, it won't let me export the video at all! please help - its taken ages to make it!

    iDVD encoding settings:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
    Short version:
    Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
    Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
    Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
    That was for single-layer DVDs. Double these numbers for dual-layer DVDs.
    Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned abo
    In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
    You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
    Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
    NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
    And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.

    If you have been using the mac.com Apple ID to make iTunes purchases recently, then there should be no issues continuing to use it with the new iPhone. I would abandon the new ID as you will never get Apple to merge the two IDs. I have had a mac.com ID for years and continue to use it with my iPhone 4S.

  • HT1688 My album art is all messed up.  It plays a song and shows the art for a completely different artist/album.  ***?

    It plays a song and shows the art for a completely different artist/album.  ***?

    Have you tried re-building the artwork?
    Try unchecking "display album artwork" in the music preferences section when your iPod is connected and click "apply". Then sync your iPod.
    Then check "display album artwork" in the music preferences section when your iPod is connected and click "apply". Then sync your iPod again.
    This should resync the album artwork to the iPod.
    If this does not work, you might need to restore the iPod and reload the songs in order to correct this error.

  • Why are the file sizes of exported jpegs so small?

    I shoot raw, studio portraits mostly. I import to Lightroom 5 as DNG and then edit. Upon exporting as jpegs, the file sizes end up way too small, some of the cropped and/or black & white conversions as small as 560 KB, even with slider to 100%. Un-cropped color photos are ending up from 1.5 to 3MB. What am I doing wrong?

    Jim,
    Thank you for your response. I think some of the difficulties in this thread are that there have been more than one person reporting issues, which may or may not be exactly the same or different from the initial one reported by the original poster. Then, anyone else commenting can easily intermix bits and pieces from any or all of the other posters interrelated issues. Also, I should have added to my last response in clarification what I meant about the overall dimensions. I was referring specifically to inches, not file size, not resolution.
    My very first post was a thank you to Rusty's post for his comment about how he had noticed his Resolution setting had been changed from ppi to ppcm. I didn't say anything about printing. In fact, I never even stated what my issue was. I was merely thanking him for sharing information. So, for anyone to tell me that I didn't know what my issue is, that I didn't understand was quite laughable to me. And then the other two posters were almost equally ridiculous, who said that since they didn't experience the same conditions as myself and another person, it couldn't be a programming error.
    Trust me, I understand explicitly about resolution, image size, dimensions, file size and how they are all interrelated. Resolution is essentially the density of pixels. (And I'm still used to dpi vs ppi, that's how long I've been working with the concept.) I often help other people understand in whichever mode is most comfortable for them to grasp the knowledge of how to know what size image they need/want to capture and print depending on the types of measurements shown on their equipment used and by whomever they might be working with for finish work.
    I have a set process, I have set image sizes, I have an action recorded in Photoshop to shrink my images to 24" x 36" and save them in the proper folder with the proper name and another to shrink them to 8" x 12" and place them in the proper folder with the proper name. I am meticulous, so when the first image imported into Photoshop and it was 18.898" x 28.346", un-cropped, I couldn't figure it out. The file size was still just as large, the resolution was still 72, I hadn't changed any settings in Lightroom or Photoshop, the ONLY thing I had done was install an update. It didn't make sense to me that with the pixel dimensions still being the normal size, all of the sudden the inch dimensions were smaller. And I did need to be able to have the capability for a larger print size if/when I do want to print.
    I hope that I'm being clear now. I really was just trying to post a thank you initially. I hadn't expected all of this excess.
    I apologize for the troll statement. It wasn't meant for you directly, it was more for the grouping of comments which in my opinion didn't seem to be useful for the discussion and were instead just baiting. I shouldn't have allowed my bad mood to permeate my own comment regardless. I am also sorry for any other statements I made which might have come across wrong. I was trying to be funny with my first comment about programmers, but it might not have come across that way. I hadn't expected the rude and unnecessary comment back which I received, and that's where the trollish comments came from. That's why I only responded to that person once, despite the string of poking posts.

  • Exported PDF looks different in Preview, Adobe Reader

    Hi,
    I'm relatively new to InDesign and experiencing all sort of problems. I'm trying to export PDF of my resume in a small size file to send it over the email. However, after exporting when I view PDF document in different applications, it looks different.
    1) In Adobe Reader in 100% view the letters in bold are "jumping". Please see the screenshot below
    2) The colors of the logo come out right when viewed in Adobe Reader. Which is 1st image:
    However when viewed in applications such as Preview or just default Mac preview with space bar. The colors of the logo and the contact details comes out completely different then in Adobe Reader.
    I export the PDF with the default settings that comes with smallest file size but I need to make sure it looks good as this resume is for my job and will be viewed most probably on the computer. The logo is linked to Adobe Illustator file in InDesign document.
    Please help as I spend about 3 hours trying to figure it out. I would really appreciate your help!
    Natalia

    Hi Mike,
    Thank you for your answer. I've tried most of the thing you recommended but it doesn't work:
    1) The file was originally created in CMYK and then I converted it to sRGB in InDesign. As well as chose transperency blend space as RGB. As for the logo then the option in Illustrator to convert the file into RGB mode seems to be disabled.
    3). Exactly what I was doing.
    I don't understand what I'm doing wrong... Is there a way to import all the links from illustrator into InDesign file?

  • What's the deal with large white blocks in exported jpegs

    I just exported my first job I ran through Aperture. Out of 736 files, 9 were flawed. When opened, the exported jpeg had a missing section of the photo, that was all white. The white block appeared in random spots but always on the edges. The problem didn't occur the second time around with the same 9 files/ this time processed in a batch of 9.
    I need to know how to export files reliably - in my workflow, I don't have time to double check file quality.
    Has anyone seen this issue? I've seen it with 1.1.1 and 1.1.2.
    I'm shooting with a 1ds mrkII.
    MacBookPro   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    i've seen this too, in other odd ways. it seems to affect the images that i've spotted (with the patch tool) and have other corrections/adjustment applied. its almost like the GPU gets too overloaded to accurately recreate all of the image mods. the image seems to be segmented into smaller rectangular sections that probably get loaded into the video card's memeory and the adjustments and corrections are applied on smaller, more managable sections. when the image is stitched back together something goes horribly wrong!
    the sections tend to be mis-matched with some completely black, some that have black spots where the patch tool was applied, other sections have what looks like a white overlay that's 50% opaque. sometimes even my thumbnails come up with the same results as these malformed exports. i've been able to shake them back to normalcy by toggling one of the corrections (spot/patch, highligh/shadow, etc). after the thumbnail updates properly, the export usually works fine.
    this is definitely a bug with aperture and i would report it as such. attach and send the image to the bug report if you can!
