White becomes red on export to JPEG - why?

I'm working with photos in lightroom, adjust colors etc. And finally export files to JPEG-format to use them with websites. However: White in lightroom becomes super-soft-red after export to jpeg.
Can someone please help?
Some data that might help:
Macbook, Mac Os Tiger
Lightroom for Mac
Monitor calibrated using Spyder 2
Shooting RAW with SRGB
I've checked all settings in lightroom but don't find any answer.
Thanks in advance
Andreas

>The problem is the difference between my workspace (lightroom) and the resulting JPEG (lightroom export). All my JPEG-exports from lightroom have more red than the version in lightroom.
If you are really exporting to sRGB jpegs (again, shooting in sRGB mode on your camera has NO impact on the RAW files - check whether the export settings in Lightroom are set to sRGB!), there are usually several possible causes for the redshift.
1. Your screen calibration is bad. This is very common and the fix is usually trashing the monitor profile and creating a new one. A common issue is bad monitor profiles supplied by monitor vendors.
2. You are using a wide gamut monitor such as an Eizo, one of the Dell HC screens, etc., and are viewing the exports in unmanaged apps. If you have a monitor that has a gamut significantly different from sRGB, you cannot use unmanaged apps, such as Internet explorer or Firefox 2.0 (basically every windows app except for Vista picture viewer basically), to judge color of your images. You need to use color managed apps, such as Safari, Photoshop, etc. to judge the color. Viewing sRGB images in unmanaged apps on such a screen will make your image appear oversaturated.
3. You are using a dual monitor setup and the OS is confused which profile belongs to which screen. Especially on windows, it is often not possible to really correct for two different screens even if the software tells you it does. This can be hard to diagnose, but usually it just takes plugging out one monitor and recalibrating the one that is still connected.
In conclusion, If you have a typical normal-gamut monitor and you have calibrated correctly, you should see almost NO shift when exporting to sRGB jpegs and viewing in unmanaged apps. The images should look identical in apps that are managed.

After editing camera raw and export as jpeg,image becomes overexposed when view on light room..please advise.

need some help here. don't know if i can describe this accurately.
i was using lightroom previously. edit my raw file and then export in jpeg. everything appear normal as what i wanted.
recently i got cs4 and started using bridge. now after i edit my photo in lightroom and export,the view of the jpeg file appears overexpose(exposure was increase) and when view on adobe bridge same problem. but if i open photoshop and use my workspace colour setting everything is ok. when i see my picture on iphoto it is normal as per i have edited. i just don't know what setting i have touch that cause my viewing of edited photo on lightroom and bridge goes overexpose. on bridge,thumbnail ok but preview bad...
for the record: i just install CS4 and snow leopard recently. before this i have no problems with LR. I'm also not sure if i have accidentally change any settings.
i shoot with a 5D mark 2 and use the raw file for edit.
will appreciate any advise. Thanks

Yes
I've edited and exported an image to a different folder on my desktop. I've realised I still need to do some work on it
but when I try and open it again in Lightroom ( I see it in Library) I get a mesaage saying file not found...Please help
We're going to need a lot more details aobut exactly (EXACTLY) the steps you follow after you do the export, because normally I would say this is one of the easiest things possible in Lightroom. Are any files moved or renamed or disks unplugged in between the time of export and the time when you try to edit again?

HELP!!! Weird white bars appearing in exports...

We have just hired on a fabulous graphic designer to our company, but every time we export her designs as jpegs instead of PDFs, horizontal white bars appear going across smaller images. The bars do not line up with each other, even across images of the exact same size. There are no hidden objects to get rid of and this happens no matter which machine we open it on, hers, mine, my assistants, or any one of the other 5 computers in our studio. What is going on? Why does it look perfect as a PDF and crappy as a jpeg?
We are using InDesign as past of the new creative suite that includes photoshop CS3.

Well Buko that doesn't sound like an answer at all but as a workaround to a flaw in the program itself. Are you telling me that the only way to get a jpeg out of InDesign is to first export as a PDF? If that's the case, then it means Adobe has put out a product that doesn't work as it is supposed to.
Buko, you did not attempt to answer my question, and in fact tried to make me feel stupid for not seeing the obvious answer of spending more time doing what InDesign already should do. No one likes a smart aleck.
This is a serious question to the rest of the world. My question is NOT how to eventually get a jpeg. My question is this: Why can I not export a jpeg directly from InDesign? What is going on? Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a bug in our version of InDesign, or is this a common problem?

[CS2 AS] Export as Jpeg... image missing in the output.

Hi,
I'm using alot the export as jpeg feature as a validation helper while doing batch processing (for quality output, i have used export as pdf and rasterisation in photoshop... require more processing, but it give more reliable output).
So with the base export, i'm having a odd problem where on other machine the some images are not exported appropriately (some appear with a white strippe and other completely blank).
I have not found documentation on this but i'm pretty sure that the export is done from a low-res preview, so i suspect that that my script processing make the export before indesign has completed some document display refresh.
I tought that i could use a arbitrary delay, but i find this solution quite inconvenient as it make the process slower and not completely deterministic.
Is there a equivalent call to "recompose" that would let me be sure to call the export when the display refresh of the document is done? (if i remember well, i have tried forcing the document quality display to maximum).
Thanks for any ideas! :)

Exporting uncompressed jpegs

When I export a jpeg to my hard drive it gets compressed to 400-500k instead of its original 5MB.
How do I keep the original size when exporting to hard drive?
Is there a way to open a photo in LR3 and tell if it is jpeg, tiff or RAW and the file size?
thanks

OK I now understand the megabytes do not matter with printing.
And thanks for explaining why 5 or 6 MB went to 500kB.
The picture pixels /dimensions are :
Width 1024 pixels
Height 678 pixels
(696320 pixels)
24 bit
I went through some older pictures I had saved to jpeg and posted on smugmug and they are the same size in pixels.
When I go to the export box in LR3 Image Size was checked and set to W 1024 X H 768 pixels

IPTC on export to jpeg screwy

OK, I import some RAW images, add some captions, then export to jpeg. I then open the image in Graphic Converter, and the for the images I have added a caption to, GC says there are two caption fields! One is the caption I added and the other is the IFD0 field calle "ImageDescription" and is set to: "KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERA". If I don't enter a caption, the caption is set to "KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERA".
Worse, when importing into Gallery2 the IPTC information is not imported. I'm not the only one with the issue.
If I save the file in GC and then import into Gallery2 it works great.
THis all just leads me to believe that Aperture (1.1.2) is not exporting the IPTC info correctly. Your thoughts?

I have an A0 ai drawing - but cant export as jpeg... any ideas?

I think you're probaly exceeding the size limit for that kind of export - I can't recall exactly what it is but that's a pretty big jpeg.
Can I just ask why you need to make such a large image file?

Chroma key and jpg -- black letters on white to red letters on black?

Hi,
I have a beautiful image of a caligraphy chinese character on white, the chinese character is in black ink. I scanned the phone, convert it to .jpg. Is there a filter on FCP that will allow me to turn the black chinese character on white, to red chinese character on red?
many thanks

Is there a filter on FCP that will allow me to turn the black chinese character on white, to red chinese character on red?< </div>
You can apply a luma keyer to the original item and tell it to key out the white. Now you have a black stuff over transparent. Export it with alpha or nest it.
Use this item as matte source. You can fill the transparent background with red or you can use a revers matte to fill the opaque areas with red.
This is much easier than it sounds but it takes practice. As the noted earlier, it's going to be easier to do the image editing in another application unless you understand how to use mattes and keyers in FCP.

How do I get the Apple tv to play out of my Bose speakers that has the typical white and red plug ins? Do I need an "optical audio" cord (that is what is available as a plug in on the back of the Apple tv that has the red and the white on the other side?

How do I get my speakers to play the Apple TV? My TV is recognizing the Apple TV and the sound is playing out of the TV speakers, but even though I plug my speakers into my TV, it does not play what the TV speakers are playing. Do I have to plg the speakers into the actual Apple TV unit? If so, do I need an "optical audio" plug in?

appletv play audio out of optical out of hdmi and the old alu one play out the RCA too
the typical the white and red plug ins would be RCA if you have a atv2 (the black one) you cant use
RCA as that is analog and optical and hdmi are digital
you can get converters but some would be pricy and could cause delay between image and pictures for video

Exporting to Facebook - why can't I use the old plug-in?

It's nice that iPhoto '09 tried to help us with the Facebook exporter built-in. But why couldn't they make it useful? Why can't I tag people before I upload them? Why can't I upload photos to an existing album? I wouldn't mind so much, but they seemed to have disabled the existing (working) plug-in that was available. So now I have to export the pictures to my desktop and upload them through Facebook. Hmm...doesn't seem too user-friendly.

Exporting to Facebook - why can't I use the old plug-in?
Have you considered asking the author of the plug-in?
It's nice that iPhoto '09 tried to help us with the Facebook exporter built-in. But why couldn't they make it useful?
Millions upon millions of people do find it very useful
Why can't I tag people before I upload them?
You can - have you watched the iPhoto tutorials?
Why can't I upload photos to an existing album?
You can IF the album was created by iPhoto
Do you have an iPhoto question that one of the iPhoto users who volunteer here might be able to help with?

No longer able to export in JPEG-B

I have this vexing issue that I cannot figure out. I can no longer export as JPEG-B. It has vanished from the list of available formats to export to. I have tried deleting the preferences and restarting the system. But no luck. Anyone have any suggestions. Or have a similar problem.

I was able to find a solution in this thread:: by lkrupp http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1344019&tstart=300

Failed to export the JPEG file

When I attempt to export a jpeg from InDesign I get the following error message, please help:
"Failed to export the JPEG file: File cannot be written.
Disc may be locked or full."
The disc it is writing to has 90Gb of memory free and I've tried knocking the quality of the export down with no success.
I am running CS6 on a fully updated Macbook Pro.
Thanks.

I'm trying to export to the hard drive on the Mac as usual, and have never had this issue before?
