colour change from lightroom to photoshop (colourspace is the same)

Hi all

thanks so much for all the feedback
not had time to reply
So luckily i have a laptop and that didn't have this problem, so i caught up with work on that.

The cloud was saying i was totally up to date but i wasn't on the desk top, this seems to have fixed the issue.

Thanks again for all the input there was a lot of things about colour correction i didin't know so that has also been really useful

This is most likely a bad monitor profile as Per suggests.

Another thing that could produce a similar effect is if Lightroom is stuck at an old version like 2015.1, but ACR/PS have been correctly updated. A new default camera profile was introduced at that time, and if Lr/ACR are using different camera profiles you see something like this. It happens that the CC app fails to report available updates, so check that actual version numbers in Lr/ACR correspond.

And just so it's perfectly clear, document profiles and/or working color spaces have nothing whatsover to do with this. The whole point of color management is to seamlessly translate between non-matching color spaces. That's what it does.

When Lightroom and Photoshop don't match, it's usually caused by a defective or incompatible monitor profile. Try setting the monitor profile to sRGB (use Adobe RGB if you have a wide gamut monitor).

If this fixes the issue, you should ideally calibrate your monitor with a hardware calibrator. This will also create and install a new monitor profile that accurately describes your monitor.

Playing around with Photoshop's color settings could also cause this, as suggested by JohanElzenga

It's a persistent myth that profiles and/or working spaces have to match between Lightroom and Photoshop. They don't. Color management will ensure that images display correctly no matter what the profiles or working spaces are. The exception is gamut clipping, but I don't think that's the case here.

Also, Library and Develop should always display identical colors, and gamut clipping should not be an issue here, because even wide gamut monitors cannot display colors outside Adobe RGB. (although it appears that some wide gamut monitors can display saturated reds that are outside Adobe RGB)
