P: Linear (non-standard) profile in LR Mobile

I have been, successfully, trying out linear profiles in LRC. They are very helpful for certain images. The problem is, when the image is posted to LR Mobile.

First, while reviewing the images, I get a pop up message that editing in Mobile will lose settings as it is not a standard profile. That would be ok, as I was just using LRM to display the images. The problem is, the image is not rendered as it was with the original linear profile…it is much brighter and washed out as if another profile (tone curve) had been used.

I had a mix of ‘Adobe Neutral’ and linear profile images. The ‘AN’ images rendered as shown on LRC, the linear were washed out.

LRC 10.4, Win 10
Is this a bug or ‘as designed’?

Bonjour, nous sommes en juin 2024 et ce bug n'a toujours pas été réglé ? Come on Adobe !

We need this to be fixed asap. 70% of my images are negative scans converted using Negative Lab Pro profiles, and the rest has applied RNI and Cobalt-Image profiles. None of my photos are showing correctly in Lightroom CC. I'd like to use it on my iPad Pro for years, but until this major bug is fixed, it's pretty much useless to me.

I made custom profiles for my infrared images. They do not sync to ipad and iphone lightroom. Please enable lightroom to sync custom made profiles! I use them a lot to show images!

I hear you. In my case, I am using Adobe Portfolio (because it is included in my subscription), but I might have to go to a third party if this never gets addressed.

I have given up on using Adobe's cloud from LRC. Too many problems and constraints. I have gone to Smugmug with their publish plug-in. Works great and more reliably. If I revise and image, i just allow the plug-in to republish.

today, I only use Adobe cloud (mobile) to get iPhone/iPad images into LRC.

Threads on this issue go back way to far for Adobe to have not yet addressed it.

I am at the point where, if my image is "finished" in LrC with a linear profile (i.e. not, further processed as a Photoshop PSD or TIF), then I flag it "yellow" and know that whenEVER I sync LrC with the cloud, all of my yellow images will have to have, for example, Texture increased by +1 to make the images look correct in the cloud (especially Adobe Portfolio). If I sync again, even if the yellow images are not deliberately changed, they will look wrong again.

Hi,

I found a specific condition (bug?) making LR Mob presenting incorrect previews in grid view and slideshow.

With “incorrect” I mean with the wrong color profile (non the currently assigned one).

This is how I get it:

1) In LR Classic I select a photo (original raw) and I edit its camera profile assigning a new one. For better test I use an image with strong colors so it is easy to see the effect of the profile change even if the image is presented in a small dimension.

2) Still in LT Classic I build a smart preview as I know that LRClassic can only synchronize such kind of images (not the original one).

3) I disconnect the disc with the original file. LRClassic still shows me the photo as it shows the smart preview. The colors are the right one, those of the new assigned camera profile.

4) I add the image to a synchronized collection. LR Classic start synchronization. I am sure It sends the smart preview because it cannot access the original (it is on the disconnected disc).

My guess is that it send a smart preview with colors coherent with the assigned profile as I see them properly on the screen during synchronization.

So far, it’s all ok.

Now the problem:

5) I open LR Mob and wait for the image to arrive in the collection. When it arrives, it appears in the grid view with WRONG colors. Probably they are those given by the default profile. In any case, the are not the expected color related to the assigned profile.

6) I tap on the photo to edit it. LR Mod opens it initially still showing the same wrong colors until the hourglass stops turning. When the full image (smart preview) has been downloaded it suddenly get the right color (those of the new profile). So it knows how to show them (the profile assigned to the image exists locally and LR Mob use it during editing).

7) If I get out of edit and back to the grid view, LR mob again forgets the right colors and revert to wrong ones.

To get the right colors in the grid view, the only way I found is to edit the image slightly in LR Mob itself before exiting the edit session. This way, it wakes up (rebuild) the thumbnail view and finally it shows the right colors in the grid view too.

Of course that is very annoying .

Moreover this bug affects also the slides shows. When the image with special assigned profile is shown in the slide show, for a few seconds it appears with the wrong colors, and after 2-3 second it changes again the colors , but not to the right way. It gets a third colors profile from who knows where .

In other word, slides shows are not usable with images with edited camera profile and coming from LR Classic (=smart previews).

Any idea about a way to force all of images of a collection to update their local previews to match the assigned profiles as it does, one by one, when LRMob opens an it for edit?

Thank you in advance for any suggestion

Hi Mauro,

I am reproducing the issue at my end, will report back with the results.

Could you please let us know the version of Lightroom Classic and Lightroom mobile you're working with?
And what operating system and mobile device are you using?

Regards,
Sahil

I'm having a similar problem. Everything looks good in LR Classic, but terrible in LRCC. So I imported the profiles into LRCC. That solved the problem there, but images in LR mobile and via web sharing both look awful, completely unacceptable. Based on this thread and others I've looked at, I don't see a solution. The profile is present and being used in LRCC, but mobile doesn't get the message, nor does web sharing. Does anybody have a solution? I've tried un-sharing, creating smart previews, etc., and have had no luck. Thanks in advance

I am working with a number of non-standard LR profiles and have the same issue(s).

There are in fact two issues:

1. Getting profiles synced from LRCC Desktop to LR Mobile. Sometimes it works straight away, sometimes I have to re-install LRCC Desktop to get the new profiles to sync (workaround found on one of the forums here). This is annoying but not a big deal since I only add new profiles every so often.

2. Previews for photos edited in LR Classic are not applying correct profiles in LR Mobile and Web but use Adobe standard(?) for rendering. This is a very annoying problem and the workaround of going through all your images edited in LR Classic and making slight corrections in LRCC is not accecptable.
