    Changing color profile to sRGB helped me to export photos with all effects.

    Hi every one just a quick problem i have with exporting a photo with NR in it and when exported the tone looks exactly the same it is very annoying when i love the end result of the photograph but can not show it off to anyone dew to this problem

    This is what i want it to look like smooth and everything.

    Then get this not as smooth as shown on the screen when on LR. It might be me doing something wrong but i would still like to find out what

    Thank you very much.

    I have the exact same issue, I first noticed it when processing images id taken of the Milky Way with a lot of ISO noise, id reduced it considerably with luminace smoothing. However when you switch to library module the luminace smoothing edit is not apparent AND when you export the image to a jpeg the lumincance edit has not been applied.

    Very annoying, I'll post screen shots.

    Ok repoducing screen shots is harder than i thought because its compressing the images too much, But the problem is still happening, and... while switching between the develop module and library module you can actually see the transition in the image isn't applying the luminance effect/edit.

    Hi!... Not sure if anyone has had any luck with the NR .. I'm on Lightroom 5.5 (CC) and the NR is still not working on export! I knew about this issue when they first released LR 5 however I thought they would of fixed it by now... and it seems they haven't!  Where can we Voice  our concerns to adobe? I'll probably go back to LR4 until they fix it!

    I am having the same issue. I upgraded to 5.6, but the issue persists.

    Can you post 1:1 (100% zoom) screenshots of Develop and Exported images as well as the raw and exported JPG that demonstrate the issue for you so others (and Adobe) can try to reproduce what you’re seeing? Use something like http://www.dropbox.com/ to host the files and post a public download link to them, here.

    I've used every setting. The lightroom presets, I've created my own. No matter what I do the luminance doesn't come with it. right now the settings are Jpeg,100, Adobe rgb, 300ppi, no sharpening. And I've changed all these things and the same thing happens

    Are you saying that when you select the exported jpeg file in Lightroom you are not seeing the NR (luminance ) setting displayed in the develop module?

    Or that the jpeg file does not look as if the NR settings have made the desired effect.
