Photos in Library module and after export look different than in Development module

Hello,
I experience a problem.
After I update photos in the Development module, the updates seem not to be shown in the Library module. And when I subsequently export to Flickr, Flickr is also showing the original photo, not the adapted one.
I noticed this the first time after making Blacks a bit deeper, causing a sunflower to become a deeper yellow. I thought that my adaptations were not applied in the Library module. After I checked with cranking down the Saturation all the way back (to almost black-and-white), that adaptation WAS applied in the Library view. So it had to be something else, causing the same color difference between the Library and Development modules.
When I switch from the Library module to the Development module, I see a slight delay in applying my changes, but they are applied. Before they are applied, I can see that the original photo is shown and that looks the same as in the Library module and on Flickr.
The photostrip on the bottom of the Lightroom screen also shows the original photos only, unless I go to the development module and select a photo (adaptations are applied in the photostrip after I select the photo, not before).
After I played a bit more in the Development module, I found something strange in the Camera Calibration menu of the Development module. The Adobe Profile (my default) caused an obvious color difference between the Library (less saturated) and the Development (more saturated) modules. The Camera Standard profile also showed a (very) slight difference, but I was unable to notice the differences using the other profiles.
So I was thinking (but it's only a guess), that the profiles are not applied in the Library view and on export, but they are in the Development module?
I use Lightroom 5.6, Camera RAW 8.6.
Please help me, as this is very annoying. I currently cannot export my photos to Flickr or anywhere else, unless I overcompensate before exporting. And I really don't want to do that. My Lightroom photo is my perfect photo, and I want to keep it that way...
Many thanks in advance for any help,
Peter

Hi ssprengel,
Thanks for your reply. Let me react to each possibility you mention and provide some extra information.
- "Check your Export / File Settings / Image Format and make sure they are set to JPG not Original". Done that, it's not on Original, but on jpg. This would not explain why I see the difference in the Library and Development modules, by the way. But better to know for sure.
- "...the most likely thing that is wrong is your color-management on your computer is not working properly". It is a PC with Windows 7. I have been using Lightroom for maybe 6 years and I never had this problem before. The last time I changed my setup is more than a year ago and this problem only started to happen a short while ago (after the update to Lightroom 5.6? I'm not sure, but that's the only thing that has changed lately). I use a Spider to create a custom profile that is correct for my setup and do a regular update on the profile.
- "what brand and model of monitor do you have?" I have an EIZO FlexScan S2411W and use that for a long time as well. I chose this brand of monitors for its good color reproduction and I have been happy with it for years now.
What I am not getting is why would all this show a difference between the Library and Development module? The only difference is the Lightroom software that is switching from one module to another, and that should deliver the same photo. I'm also stating in my first post that the differences are very noticeable using the Adobe Standard Camera Profile in the Development module. I have a feeling that the profile is part of the problem.

    You can't. You can't export part of a sequence. Duplicate it and remove the bits you don't want to export from the duplicate.

  • Text appearance in adobe acrobat (pro) files displays inconsistently unless you zoom in. Mainly 'i's and 'l's look bigger than they should.

    Text appearance in adobe acrobat (pro) files displays inconsistently unless you zoom in. Mainly 'i's and 'l's look bigger than they should.
    The pdfs print fine though.

    Try doing a spotlight search for all files that start with AdobeFnt. They will be named AdobefntXX.lst, with the XX being some number. They will be scattered across the drive... After making sure that all Adobe applications are closed, trash all the adobefntxx.lst files, those with the 3 letter extension .lst.
    Then, restart the system, and open the files in Acrobat again.
    Otherwise, what happens in Safe boot? (Remember, Safe boot loads only a default set of fonts.) If they display fine there, the problem most likely is a font issue, one of the fonts that Adobe installed.
    Check Adobe's web support page for troubleshooting Fonts.

    Contact Adobe about the whole issue, it is after all, Adobe Acrobat... Adobe's contact number is 800 833 6687.

  • Need help The image I saw on the LCD looks different than the actual photo

    i had canon camera and had problem The image I saw on the LCD looks different than the actual photo.any body can kelp me
    [IMG]http://tralalatrilili.ga/thanks.png[/IMG]

    Do you capture in RAW or JPEG? What software do you use to view your image? Is your monitor calibrated? What is the brightness level on your camera LCD? All of these information can affect your image. And keep in mind that image on the back of the camera is often brighter and more saturated.

  • ? I downloaded the upgrade this morning -- 6/6/12 -- and noew I cannot get into the Develop module.

    ? I downloaded the upgrade this morning -- 6/6/12 -- and noew I cannot get into the Develop module. I get an error message.

    The problem seems to have been corrected. When I checked to make sure that all other modules were accessible, Lightroom 4 quit, restarted and then checked something - "power point curves", went through some kind of internal procedure, after whiuch the problem no longer existed. The error message had been : "An error occurred when attempting to change modules." I decided to respond in this way in case someone else stumbles into this.
    Thank You for responding.

  • The way Aperture renders my Nikon RAW (NEF) files look different than...

    The was Aperture renders my NEF files looks different than NX...
    Ok so I use all the in camera setting/tools to the best of abilities to try and cut my editing down as much as possible but when shooting RAW I end up having to tweak every images to get them back to what they really look like... I shoot often RAW and JPG combined and when I open a NEF in NX and a JPG in PS they are identical and need very little work, when I use Aperture the NEF files are very different looking from the JPG (or NEF in NX) and every single one needs tweaking (I get more redish/pinkish skin, often a hint of green cast to (slightly off WB/tone thing) and more contrast.
    Below is screenshot showing the difference between a JPG (or NEF in NX) and a RAW file in Aperture
    [img]http://www.pbase.com/ray645/image/120052970/original.jpg[/img]
    This is just a silly snap shot in very flat overcast light, and has the least amount of shift or difference of any image type so far, when I use strobes, shoot for a more contrasty image, gel for color and manual WB the differences are huge almost to the point that you would think you where looking at two completely different images and not the same NEF opened in different software.
    How do I go about getting Aperture to render my NEF's more like what I shot like NEF in NX, JPG in anything, and even the back of the camera screen?

    Thank you, that seems like will work, just having the boost turned down a bit on import has helped tremendously but I cant stop feeling like I am moving towards the "Fix it in post" mentality
    I will need to get better at tweaking my images... No matter how I try I cant kill the pinking skin or the very faint green glow in blond hair or bright neutral tones without affecting other areas of the image.. I am sure I will figure it out but anyone having any tips or links that could speed up my process I would appreciate it.
    The green is weird its like someone snuck a small florescent light into all my shoots without telling me, not major but enough to be annoying.
    I shoot a ton of motor sports (3000 images a weekend) and shoot JPG and have gotten good at using in camera pre sets, knowing what I got and getting it right in the camera, I wish Nikon would give up the code or whatever is needed for all the info to be carried over to Aperture..... I would pay the $100 or whatever to use the NX engine in Aperture

  • Colors in FCP looks different than when playing in QT7

    The colors of the video's in FCP looks different than when playing back in QuickTime. I wonder if it can be a color management setting in FCP? I have the same problem when playing a clip in AE. I have two FCP machines, but only one of them is having this problem. Any ideas of what I can do to get the right colors back?

    Have you enabled Final Cut Studio Color Compatibility in the QT Player preferences?

  • Exported DDL different than the SQL tab

    Hi,
    I found that the DDL generated by performing Tools->export is different than what is shown in the SQL tab on RHS window for any table.
    Is there any reason, since the SQL tab's display is not useful to recreate the table, as the sequence of constraints/indexes is incorrect.
    The tools->export generates DDL properly.
    Can someone fix this issue?

    The Tools - Export reads DBMS Metadata, the SQL Tab does not. This is intentional. However I have logged a bug about the sequence of the constraints/indexes to track that issue.

    Hi,
    in response to a similatr post of yours, I replied
    1. Drop af:exportCollectionActionListener on a command button
    2. set the command button to display = false
    3. In your Java code, call
    ActionEvent ae = new ActionEvent(button);
    ae.queue();
    Everything you put before
    ActionEvent ae = new ActionEvent(button);
    ae.queue();
    will fires as a pre-trigger, everything after as a post trigger

  • Trying to put a photo in a project and after dragging in, it's a different picture-help!

    I'm trying to drag photo's into a project...it was all working fine and then all of a sudden, I drag something in...and it's a different picture, over and over! I've shut down, logged out...still not working.
    HELP!!!

    I'm puzzled - you put photos in events, not projects.  Are you using iMovie version 10 or 9?

  • Why do AME exports look worse than Premiere exports?

    Has anyone else come across the situation where AME exports don't look as good compared to exporting straight out of Premiere?
    I'm encoding the videos to H.264 MP4 files. The stills (JPEGs) in the video is where I'm having the problem. I've created a sort of slide show with 4 pictures in a short ~10 second part of the video using Scale keyframes and Cross Dissolve transitions.
    When I queue the sequence for export straight out of Premiere, these parts of the video created from the stills look fine. However, when I queue them up in AME, these parts of the video look harsh and have jagged edges (the image quality is greatly reduced on the stills).
    The export settings are identical, as I am using a Preset for H.264 / MP4 / 720p / 23.976 fps / Square pixels / NTSC / Profile: Main / Level: 3.2 / Render at Maximum Depth (checked) / VBR, 1 pass / Target 6 Mbps / Max 10 Mbps / Use Maximum Render Quality (checked)
    Audio (if this would affect anything???) is AAC / 48000 Hz / Stereo / High Quality / 192 kbps / Precedence: Bitrate
    Here are my system specs:
    - The latest versions of CS6 through the Cloud membership (Premiere CS6 6.0.2 / AME 6.0.2.81)
    - Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 / 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon / 32 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 / NVIDIA Quadro 4000 2048 MB
    - Video footage is AVCHD in MP4 (but that's not where the issue appears to be)
    - Still images are large JPEG files (roughly 6000x6000 px); 300ppi / Bit Depth 8 / RGB Color Mode / Adobe RGB (1998)
    My Premiere sequence is based off of the AVCHD footage:
    AVCHD 1080p square pixel
    23.976 frames/second
    48000 Hz
    Previews are I-Frame Only MPEG, but when I export I do not use Previews (unchecked).
    So…any idea why the exports look crappy coming out of AME as opposed to straight out of Premiere? It would be nice to use AME in the background while working on other projects or when large batches of exports need to be done, but not if the quality is going to suffer (at least when still images are involved). One work around seems to be replacing the still with an After Effects composition. Any idea why this would make a difference?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    I also had the Use Maximum Render Quality box checked in my export settings
    This should carry over to the AME when you send it to the queue, but you should double-check in the AME.
    So I guess the difference is in the GPU rendering vs software rendering?
    In theory, software MPE with MRQ and Max Bit Depth enabled should produce (nearly) identical results to hardware MPE.
    I had originally understood that this is for rendering previews, but looks like it's also used during final exports?
    For exporting, video frames have to be rendered before they can be transcoded to the final format/codec.  So hardware MPE helps rendering previews, but it also helps the rendering step of the export process.
    That's unfortunate that AME does not utilize the GPU as well. What is the reason for excluding this feature?
    That's a question only an Adobe engineer can answer!  NB: I know for sure that the scaling-using-software-MPE limitation in the AME applied to CS5 and CS5.5.  It may be fixed in CS6, or it may not.  I don't have time to properly research that right now.
    I don't really understand how something as simple as rendering a scaled JPEG image turns out looking bad, while AME can render full-on After Effects comps...???
    If differences in scaling methods don't apply here, there may be system issues or a software bug at work.
