Hi folks,

For some reason I have yet to uncover, my JPG exports from LR look nothing like the image while I have the original file open in LR. This is the first time this has been happening. I haven't noticed anything like this with previous exports. The only difference is that these photos were shot using RAW + JPEG on my 5D rather than RAW. Could that be the issue? I'm going to calibrate my monitor shortly. Just giving it time to warm up before I do, but I figured some of you might know what's going on here. I have attached a link to the picture which I uploaded to tinyurl. The original is in LR while the export is open in windows photo gallery.

Thanks for the help!

100% chance (without bothering to look at the link) that you don't understand color management and ended up with a poor setup. Check out the links on Rene's signature, and you should be able to solve your issues fairly quickly.

I could be wrong but that doesn't look like a color management issue to me. That looks like his edits not being incorperated into the exported JPG. I would expect color shift without color management, I wouldn't expect that much of an exposure shift.

Checked the image now.... 100% certain it is a color management issue. Highlights are the same exposure, shadows are darker. It's actually quite common, and happened to me with firefox 3.5 when the color management fiasco was in full swing.

So what do I need to understand about color management? LR edits in ProPhoto RGB and I have LR export into sRGB for displaying on the web. Where did I go wrong with my color management?

How does it look in a browser? Just drag the JPG to Firefox to open.

It looks a lot better when I open it in my google Chrome browser. Shadows show more detail. Still not as much as what I can see in LR. What are you thinking?

Look in the color management section of the control panel and make sure the appropriate profile is associated with your monitor.

Thanks for the quick responses, all! It was a poor monitor profile. Here's an upload of the same comparison now that I have calibrated:

Yay!

And you didn't trust me when I said it was 100% a color management issue ;)

I assumed you meant my workflow, but it seems that certain programs suck at color management without a decent monitor profile.
