Why is Lightroom oversaturating blues in TIFFs

Recently I have had a problem with Lightroom over saturating the blues in the skys of my photos.  I start with a RAW file from my Canon 1Ds Mark 3.  I start processing it in Lightroom and then send it to Photoshop CS5 as a TIFF to do more editing.  The file is saved as a TIFF and appears in the lightroom catalog.  In lightroom the skys are now highly saturated, much more than in CS5.  I can view the Tiff file in the Windows Preview window and it looks the same as in CS5.  If I use lightroom to export to a JPG, the JPG is saturated just like the TIFF appears in Lightroom.  Windows Preview shows the JPG highly saturated just like it looks in Lightroom.  This problem started in Lightroom 3.6 and has continuted in Lightroom 4.  I first noticed it in February 2012.  I am using the ProRGB color space when opening it if CS5 and as the workspace in Photoshop CS5.  It makes no difference if I save the files in 16 bit color or 8 bit color.  Color Management Policies in CS5 are set to Preserve Embeded Profiles.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both LR4 and CS5, but that had no effect.
These 2 screen captures show how the blues became more saturated in Lightroom after being edited in Photoshop.  Since I do not have Camera RAW 7, I tell Lightroom 4 to render in Lightroom and send a TIFF to CS5.  Can anyone tell me what is causing the shiff in the blues?

I checked the HSL sliders in LR and you are right they were off.  But, why are the sliders changing like that?  I have discovered that it has nothing to do with CS5 at all.  I exported a RAW file from LR4 that I had done no editing at all to, to a TIFF file and got the same problem.  The HSL sliders are off and blues are over saturated.  This does not happen when I export the RAW file to PSD or JPG, so far only to TIFF.  Am I missing something.  Why is this happening?  I have been using Lightroom since version 1 and have use versions 2 and 3 as they came out, but I never had this problem until this year.  Is this a bug?  If so, it began in version 3.6.  I bought version 4 hoping it would fix it, but it didn't.

    Why does Lightroom take so bloody long to download?

    HI,
    I am facing the same problem. I jsut purchase LR 5 upgrade, and am trying to download it. However, it says it takes 8 hours to download?? I have sufficient disk space, so why is this taking so long? It also says there is approx 504 MB for LR 5...

  • ACR 8.7 has been released with support for the Nkon D750.  Why no Lightroom support yet?

    ACR 8.7 has been released with support for the Nkon D750.  Why no Lightroom support yet? Am I wrong or was support for the D810 available far more quickly?

    ACR 8.7 has not yet been released. The ACR 8.7RC has been released. It is a Release Candidate - and as such, is not a final version.  I wouldn't be concerned about a lack of Lightroom support until a final version is released.

  • Lightroom won't open TIFF or JPEG files to CS5

    Recently upgraded to a new iMac. This morning when I tried to open a TIFF file from Lightroom 3.4.1 into Photoshop CS5 I got a message saying: Lightroom was unable to prepare the selected file at /Volumes/Drobo1/Photos/2011/02-14-2011 Yellowstone/Yellowstone-0641-Edit.tif for editing.
    It will not be opened.
    The only way Lightroom will open a TIFF or JPEG image to CS5 is if I tell it to open a copy of the image with Lightroom Adjustments. If I say I want to edit the original or a copy, it won't do it.
    If I go into CS5 and open the TIFF there, it works fine, so the problem doesn't seem to be with CS5.
    Lightroom WILL open RAW files into CS5 without any error message.
    I'm using Snow Leopard 10.6.8, which was upgraded yesterday and am wondering if that's the problem since I could open TIFFs on the new computer before.

    Do you have full permissions to the DROBO folder the files are in?  I'm a Windows person so I can't tell you how to check this, but upgrading a OS and then things not working might be related to permissions where the files were created with a profile on the previous OS.

  • Why is Lightroom 2.4 Thumbnail Rendering SLOOOOOOOOW...?

    For some reason Lightroom 2.4 is taking an enormous amount of time to render thumbnail previews and in spite of having my thumbnail cache set to 50 GB, it still re-renders the thumbnails every single time I use the scroll bar.
    Every other aspect of Lightroom performs just fine on my machine.  But the library is so slow that it is unusable.  Every time I touch the scroll bar I can see a somewhat darker preview of the thumbnails and then as soon as I stop scrolling, the CPU shoots up to 100% utilization and I watch as the thumbnails brighten and adjust one by one.  30 to 45 seconds later I can click on the thumbnails and navigate around just fine.  Performance is great in fact until I touch the scroll bar again.
    The basic question is this.  Why does Lightroom refuse to cache my thumbnails?  And why does it take soooo long to render them when Vista's explorer can render hundreds of thumbnails off even a flash card in seconds?  Even if thumbnail rendering was slow it would be fine if Lightroom would only cache them for me so it doesn't have to redo it every time I scroll back and forth.  Shouldn't there be an option to render thumbnails on import as well as 1:1 previews?
    I am running Vista 64 bit with 4GB of RAM with a Gforce 7600GT graphics card.  My library has about 18,000 images in it.  But I've also tried with a brand new small catalog.  I'm shooting and processing Nikon D300 RAW files.
    I've done all the standard performance tweaks that everyone talks about:
    1.  I render 1:1 previews and never expire them.
    2.  I have tried all the various nvidia card tweaks.
    3.  I've updated to the latest and greatest nvidia drivers.
    4.  I have my catalog on a separate drive from my images, and my thumbnail cache on yet a 3rd drive.
    5.  My machine has plenty of RAM, and in fact Lightroom is only using 1.5GB leaving me with well over 1GB remaining.
    6.  My machine is not swapping at all.
    I've been reading and reading for the past 24 hours about this issue but have yet to come up with an answer to it.  I did find this old thread from over a year ago that describes the EXACT same problem I am experiencing except his problem was with version 2.3:  http://forums.adobe.com/message/1395391#1395391
    Does anyone have ANY idea what can be causing this?  As is, I can't use Lightroom under these conditions.
    Thanks!

    So I spent all evening experimenting with different things in Lightroom to try and improve performance and found 1 solution that worked.  Although I'm not sure why.
    I understand that a design decision was made to render thumbs on the fly.  Fine.  But what I couldn't understand was why it took so incredibly long.  I mean the process was literally locking up my entire machine every time I touched the scroll bar.
    The ONLY thing I could get to clear up the problem was to select the top level folder in my catalog, and export the entire catalog as a new catalog.  For export I did NOT choose to export the image files or the previews since I only wanted to keep my database (image adjustments, keywords, etc).
    Upon opening this newly created catalog, of course everything was slow because there are no previews for anything.  Fine.  So I chose to render standard sized previews for a couple of the folders in the catalog (about 150 photos each).  And then lightroom became extremely fast for browsing and scrolling through thumbnails on those particular folders.
    What I can't undertand is why rendering standard sized previews on my old catalog (same photos, same folder) does not improve performance, yet doing it for the new catalog which should be an exact copy DOES improve performance.
    The only thing I can think of is that my original catalog must have either been corrupt or there may be some upper limit on how many previews Lightroom can handle gracefully?  Since I had standard previews for my entire catalog before.
    I'm going to try and render standard sized previews on my entire new catalog tonight and see if the performance remains snappy.  But something is definitely not right here.

  • Why does lightroom 2.7 keep making me import a folder?

    Every time I sync my Nikon Transfer folder to import my new pictures that I just loaded from my camera, a folder that I have already imported is included in the import. This folder and its contents are already in there. And lightroom agrees by telling me that it didn't import that folder because it already exsists. Why does lightroom try to import that folder in the first place?

    Beat,
    I'm not sure what you mean by that. I thought the folders viewed in Explorer and in Lightroom were one and the same. I think I see what you are getting at though. Perhaps if you were to change the name via Lightroom, the metadata gets changed in a way that causes Lightroom to think it needs to re-import. I don't change the names from the auto-generated sub folder that Nikon Transfer creates - which is the date and time using all numerals.
    I think I am just going to copy this sub folder to somewhere else, delete the original, re-import it and see what happens.  I will might lose all my raw edits in the process, but I have already delivered the finished jpegs to my client.

  • Why does Lightroom install to 2.x folder instead of simply 2?

    Why does Lightroom install to a different 2.x folder each time [such as 2.5, 2.6, 2.7]?  Why not just install to the same Lightroom 2 folder?

    I don't think you can run 2 .x versions side by side. the setup will uninstall the old version before installing the new 2.x verion. You can run the beta 3s side by side with a 2.x but Adobe allows for this.
    You're right, this was a mistake on my side. I was misslead by the fact that my recent LR 2.7 upgrade did not remove the 2.6 folders entirely, but this was because I had an additional customized file in one of the subfolders.
    Sorry for my confusion.
