Question

In 'exporting' my .psd images to .jpg in Lightroom Classic, the skin tones exhibit splotches of pink and yellow in the .jpg. I've even seen it appear on at least one .psd. All are being viewed in Lightroom. My Adobe programs are both up to date.

When exporting a developed and saved closeup ,psd of a subject from Lightroom, the skin tones on the resulting .jpg are splotchy, exhibiting random areas of pink and yellow. It is doing that consistently. This morning, I also found a .psd with the same problem. I’m rendering the .psds in ProPhoto RGB and have tried, unsuccessfully, to see if the GPU might be causing the problem.

        I also received suggestions to try to export the .psd from Photoshop, as well as adding a very low additional noise (.3%). They didn’t help.

    Are you using Lightroom Classic or Lightroom (cloud based)?

    Can you post a screen shot of the file reimported into Lightroom Classic? Are your files 8 bit or 16 bit? What was the original format of the image files? Raw or .jpg?
