Problems after exporting from Lightroom..

I have Lightroom 3 and I'm having trouble with my program. When I edit my pics the look exactly how I want but when I export them to my computer and view them in slides how mode they are faded and dull. Kind of any old time look to them. Also when I print them they look that way as well. Anyone have any idea what would be causing the change?

i just want to add that this is not an LR problem.
it is always a problem if you save an images with an colorspace other then sRGB and view it in programs that do not support color management.
especially when you save images for the WEB you should make sure that it´s sRGB.
i think the vast majority of browsers used out there is still not capable of color management.

Why do my pictures become blurry after exporting from lightroom 5?

My pictures become somewhat blurry or not as sharp after I export them from lightroom 5. PLEASE HELP!!!

If you are looking at your exported pictures in preview.app than that is the culprit. It uses an extremely poor downscaling algorithm for displaying large images and will make every large image, no matter how sharp originally, display blurry. In preview you can hit command-0 (that's a zero) to make the image display 1:1 to see the actual detail. Make sure you have it's preferences in the images panel set to "Define 100% scale as 1 image pixel equals 1 screen pixel". I think in older Mac OS X versions, it was called something like ignore image dpi for display or so but I don't remember. You can also make sure to downscale (with correct output sharpening in the export panel) upon export from Lightroom. If the exported image is smaller than the display, Preview should display 1:1 by default upon opening.

Saving PSD files after exporting from Lightroom saves incorrectly

I've only recently moved to Lightroom from using Photoshop/Bridge together, so I'm not 100% sure how saving files exported from Lightroom should go. But here's what I experience:
Base edit of file within Lightroom
In library view, right click on image -> Edit in -> Open as Smart Object in Photoshop
Perform all my necessary edits and such
File -> Save As, and save it to another location as a PSD file (totally different HDD)
Perform more edits....
Shortcut CTRL+S to save, and it saves it as the TIFF file under the location it was originally in within Lightroom
Eh...? Am I missing something. It should just save as the original PSD I created when I went "Save As". I have seen on a few occasions, immediately after "Save As", the file name resorts back to TIFF and not as PSD.
My settings for External Editing in Lightroom are as follows:
File Format: TIFF
Color Space: ProPhoto RGB
Bit Depth: 16 bits/component
Resolution: 300
Compression: None
Does anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Also, to note, that sometimes I double click on the Smart Object within Photoshop to load Camera Raw and perform some edits, but not often.

Re Camera Raw being used to pass an image to Photoshop
a) I am assuming this is independent of the Compatibility level in Preferences\File Handling DNG creation.
b) Does the same apply to other photo editing software made by Adobe like Elements?.
Reply: Yes, the principle is the same. Photoshop Elements cannot read raw data either. That's why it has to be converted before it's opened.
c) Assume that I have LR 5.7.1 and CS5. Is Camera Raw is still used to pass an image to Photoshop? If so, why is there a need to get LR to behave differently?
Reply: Camera Raw is used IF you choose the option to open anyway. Then Camera Raw will be used to convert the image that's opened in Photoshop. But since it is older than Lightroom some of the new adjustments might not be transferred to Photoshop. That's why there is a need to let the user make the choice.
d) Sometimes it does seem as if Adobe might be using Camera Raw updates and process version updates to get consumers to change their habits, this includes having to buy subscriptions or having to change workflow to some ideal that somebody at Adobe or working with Adobe might have in mind.
Reply: The fact is that in the past, when a new version of Photoshop is released then all support and updates cease for the previous version. Since the introduction of the creative cloud, at least users of Photoshop CS6 get support for new cameras. They just don't get the new features. Yes, there's motivation to upgrade. Adobe is a business. What do you really expect?
Re stacks
I find impossible to see collapsed stacks on the film strip. Stacks are only visible on the Library module and using a grid view; I don't say clearly visible because they are only recognisable by the label at the top left corner with the image count; I don't even think it is possible to change the colour of that label or the grey colour surrounding an image. Also I cannot name stacks. If I could name stacks, see them as virtual folders underneath a library folder and make them glaringly visible I would use them extensively.
Reply: The only reason I can think of that you are unable to see collapsed stacks on the filmstrip is if you have the filmstrip reduced in size to the point that Lightroom can't display all the icons. I'm able to see the collapsed stacks in the library grid view and on my filmstrip
Re storing your Raw files and processed files in separate locations
Assuming Raw files are negatives and Photoshop files are transparencies or prints, would you want negatives being handled/read on a regular basis? If anything happens to your negatives, you would never be able to produce another print or another transparency again.
Reply: The raw files or the negatives, as you put it, are never modified by Lightroom. They always remain in their pristine state they were in when they were imported. If I have a backup of that raw file then I can do whatever I want to the one in my working folder. Resetting that raw file so that it looks unaltered is just a click away.
I have worked extensively with databases and database systems, it is a standard feature of database systems to be able to choose where to store different database objects. I don't see why LR cannot do the same, it is a database after all. I do agree with both the OP and photo.
Reply: Well, I won't argue that point. If that's what you really want than lobby for it. It just won't get my vote because I don't see any real advantage.
If you read back through this quoted message you'll find that my replies are included. I don't know how to separate them out so they are highlighted properly. Read through it and think about it. But personally, I don't want to waste anymore time on this discussion because it isn't accomplishing anything in my opinion.

Problem with image after exporting from Lightroom 5

Good day. Please can someone help me? I have Lightroom 5, and I have a problem in exporting edited images. At issue, do all the necessary settings and retreat noise and sharpness adjustment by brush adjustment tool, however, to export the image, noise and some minor adjustments are lost. Because in Lightroom visualize the way you wish, but after export, is not it the same? How do I get a different result? Thank you all!

I have the same problem!
Something got broken with my Lightroom 5.6 (Windows 7Pro) two days ago and I don't see any adjustments made with brush after exporting photos!
It's not a problem of library or RAW files - the same, work fine on other computers (iMac).
I tried to clean the computer with CC Cleaner Tool, and install everything again, but it didn't help.
I already lost 2 days trying to fix it, and I don't want to format the drive and install Windows again
Can anyone help?

Color change after exporting from Lightroom

I noticed a drastic color change after exporting a file from Lightroom to a JPEG file today. I have been using Lightroom for a while, and it never happened before. I am assuming that I changed the setting somehow and I cannot find how to fix it.
Here is the original.
After exporting to a JPEG. The color is so drastically different. I tried both sRGB and AdobeRGB and they turn out to have the same problem.
It is not as clear as JPEG files, but edited files with Photoshop CS5 also looks slightly different viewed on Lightroom.
I would appreciate it if anyone could help me. Thank you so much for your help!

Thanks everyone for looking into my problem!
>Can you upload a sample of each
>* Raw File
>* XMP Sidecar
>* Exported JPEG
I somehow can't find XMP sidecar files in my folders.... So instead, I exported the JPEG file to the 2nd JPEG file, hoping you can compare those two JPEG files.
The colors get lighter and lighter every time I export the files. I uploaded those files (RAW, 1st JPEG, 2nd JPEG) on line. I also changed the file samples from the original post because I can't add watermarks.
I checked my flles, but there is no preset applied to the JPEGs.
I am thinking of unistallng Lightroom and reinstalling it and see what happens.
Thanks!

Cannot save as jpeg in CS2 after exporting from lightroom

I'm so frustrated. This began happening only a couple times here and there after starting to use lightroom (can't remember if it was the 1.4 version, or the beta version). I don't think it's my photoshop program, since I have completely re-installed it twice and reinstalled onto my computer.
Anyway, now it's happening all the time. I export images from lightroom into CS2 to make final edits, sharpen for print, crop, etc and then photoshop will not let me save it as a jpeg. I can save as a psd, or a tiff, but not a jpeg. I have tried exporting in jpeg format, or tiff format, and everything is fine until I try to save either type as a jpeg. It lets me choose the quality, 10-12 etc, then when I click OK, A red box with "could not complete your request because of a program error" pops up.
I have Vista, edit in sRGB, export in sRGB, etc..... just don't know what to do since I NEED to be able to edit and save to send to print. Please help.

Find the solution here:

basically you delete the camera raw info put into the file that trips up CS2 (but not CS3!)

Loosing GPS Data after exporting from Lightroom 5

Hello,
When I export my pics from lightroom 5 to import to iphoto,
I loose the GPS data after the import into iphoto.
I like Iphoto because of the icloud, so I don't want to move everything
to LR5.
Is there anyway to save the GPS data or am I doing something wrong?
I am using the latest version of Iphoto.
Thanks!

Not really sure? I exported the pics after editing, but did not mess with the meta data or anything.
Am I suppossed to do something to export the data, and then import into Iphoto?
Thanks!

Missing filters (in PS) after exporting from lightroom

I am currently moving my photo editing from a 32-bit WinXP machine to a 64-bit Win7 machine. For the time being, both computers have CS4 Design Premium and Lightroom 2.5 installed. All apps on both machines are currently up-to-date.
The issue, and this ONLY occurs on the 64-bit Win7 machine, is that all of my third party filters disappear when I bring a file from Lightroom into Photoshop. They aren't greyed-out. They are not listed. Period.
I've tossed out the PS preferences and made sure that both the 64-bit ver. of PS and the regular ver. of PS both point to the correct extra plugins folder.
It has nothing to do with images coming out of Lightroom in @ 16bit because they are exported that way on the XP machine as well. Filters that can't be run on 16-bit images just appear as greyed-out.
I can open an image directly in Photoshop and all of the filters are there. If I export the same image (and it doesn't matter whether I choose "edit in Photoshop" or "Open as a smart object"); if it's coming from Lightroom the filters are gone.
Does anybody have any ideas why this would occur and, more importantly, how to fix it because this is really crippling productivity?
Thank you.
M. Green

Ahhhh, OK.
That makes sense and I can verify that by checking whether the filters show up in the 64-bit PS. (They don't).
So both Bridge and Lightroom open the 64-bit PS app by default.
Guess I'll have to go check and see if my favorite filters have 64-bit versions.
Thank you for the answer.

I'm not sure what you mean - did you mean save an image to 32-bit?
I don't have a way (that I know of) to control which PS exe. Lightroom sends to image to when I choose to edit in PS. I'm assuming it's going to the 64-bit app. But in any case, I don't think it should matter. I opened both PS exe's and made sure that both pointed to the same plugins folder.
I posted here because it seemed like a PS issue and I don't know what the policy is around here about cross-posting the same issue to different forums.

HELP- Exporting from Lightroom 5.0 to iPhoto 9.4

What is my problem?
After exporting from Lightroom via export menu I am only seeing certain metadata in iPhoto.   My keywords appear in iPhoto but my ratings are not showing up.
Current Process
In lightroom save all metada data. Select photos in lightroom (DNG format). Export ensuring all metadata is sent. Exporting in JPEG to desktop.   Drop folder into iPhoto.   Keyword are there but no ratings.
What should I do?
I prefer iPhoto for apple tv, iOS devices, links with email, and using in Final Cut.   And general viewing.

Export from Lightroom: folder not found.

New Problem with export from Lightroom. I always have to select the folder where to save to, even if it was selected before. This means I have to click on an already activated folder at every export. Why? This problem wasn't there before.
I always use the option "choose folder later on" at the export dialog box.
Error message: "Es wurde kein Zielordner für diesen Vorgang angegeben."
Thanks for help folks!
Best
Bernd

Normally when Lightroom says "not enough memory", that's exactly what the problem is, you don't have enough memory.
A partial solution would be to make sure no other applications are running when you do this export.
The real solution is to make sure your computer has both 8GB RAM (or more) and a 64 bit operating system. One of these by itself without the other will not improve the situation.

Corrupted EXIF data in photos exported from Lightroom CC

After upgrading to Lightroom CC EXIF can't be read by some apps. "Re-saving" a file in Photoshop fixes the problem. I'm using Mac OSX 10.9.5. Are there any plans to update and fix the EXIF data generated when exported from Lightroom CC?
Also, this command fixes the issue with Create Date part of EXIF.
#!/bin/sh
exiftool -AllDates="$(exiftool ${1} | grep 'Create Date' | awk '{print $(NF-1), $NF }')" -overwrite_original ${1}
The reason I'm asking is because we run a site where "Create Date" read from JPG's EXIF is crucial and it's a matter of letting users upload the pic or deny uploading.
So again, any plans on the fix?
Regards,
Pawel Kadysz

I confirmed that the Exiftool command line:
exiftool -m -all= -tagsfromfile @ -all:all -unsafe file.jpg
removes the ICC Profile, which could account for significant color differences, considering that the profile is Adobe RGB. I think this may be a bug in Exiftool, so I filed a bug report. (But it might be that Exiftool just can't handle the non-standard layout of LR's JPEGs.) The author is typically very responsive.
I tried some alternate Exiftool command lines that touch as little metadata as possible, and this one seems to address both of LR 6's JPEG problems:
exiftool -m '-exif:datetimeoriginal<exif:datetimeoriginal' -xmp-crs:all= file.jpg
The -m option ignores minor errors and issues, in particular, when there are more than 1000 entries in the XMP metadata.
The '-exif:datetimeoriginal<exif:datetimeoriginal' option sets the EXIF Date Time Original Field with its current value; this tricks Exiftool into rewriting just the EXIF metadata without touching the other metadata segments (e.g. the ICC profile), addressing the first JPEG problem. (You could use any EXIF field that's present -- I picked DateTimeOriginal since every camera adds that.)
The -xmp-crs:all= option option deletes all of LR's develop settings from the XMP metadata, addressing the second JPEG problem.That metadata is not ready by any programs other than LR, as far as I know.
I've tested this new command line on a couple of pics, including the example you provided above, and it appears to work correctly. But given that we're dealing with buggy output from LR that doesn't conform to the de facto and de jure standards, it's hard to have high confidence without testing on dozens if not hundreds of pics.

JPGs exported from Lightroom 5.6 will not open in other applications

Recently I have noticed that jpgs exported from Lightroom 5.6 can not be opened in Canon DPP 3.14 and can not be resized using Image Resizer plugin. Both of these I use frequently.
I have seen mention of this issue re other applications also. Does anyone know if there is a solution?
I am using Windows 8.1 64bit. 5D Mark ii

This was an issue with 5.5 (the placement of some of the internal headers of the jpgs was changed and some other applications, including DPP, could not open them), but was corrected in 5.6. I just checked on it by exporting a jpg and opening it with no problem in DPP 3.14.15, Windows 7 x64. Are your jpgs old ones from LR 5.5?

Trouble exporting from Lightroom 4

While trying to export from Lightroom 4, I was getting the error message "An internal error has occurred:WIN32 API error 2, etc. Others have asked about this and the solution offered was to check "Do Nothing" in the post processing box, which I have done. Now I can export, but the image is severely downsized from being a full sized jpeg. How do I get it to export at full size? All was working fine with exporting until today

Thanks...the quality slider was at 60 - moved to 100 and it solved the problem. Simple - Thank you for suggesting - I was getting a headache trying to solve my issues today!

Book Module: exporting from Lightroom as a 2 page spread

Hello Lightroom people,
I have begun to create my albums in the lightroom book module, and I am about 85% happy with it. I have one major complaint, and I'm wondering if it can be corrected:
My album company wants me to submit my album pages as two page jepg spreads. For example, if I am making a 10" x 10" book, rather then submitting pages 1 and 2 as two 10" x 10" jpegs, they require a single, 10" x 20" jpeg that is then printed as pages 1 and 2.
When I export from lightroom, it exports instead as single pages (to use the example from about, two 10" x 10" jpegs for pages 1 and 2). I've noticed that if I design a 2 page spread--then it will export that the way I want it, but obviously no album can have all 2 page spreads.
My work around for this is to import the jpegs in photoshop and lay the pages together the way my album company likes, but this is somewhat time consuming.
Is there a setting in the book module I am missing that could correct this?
Thanks,
Ellen
