Not exporting developed files

LrC is not behaving as it used to. Whenever I export an image it exports the original image not the developed one. How do I fix this?

    Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this issue. The problem turned out to be that the image was being exported with a completely inappropriate Colour Space, giving it the impression of being the original.

    Can you please describe what is different between the edited image and the exported one that is not the same... and better still, can you send a screen shot of each one?

    You have probably accidentally chosen Original for Image format in the Export dialog.

    This will export the original unedited file.

    No, I am not choosing original. I am exporting a TIF.

    If you compare the edited file in LrC viewed at 100% with the exported tiff viewed at 100%, do you still see a difference?

    What file type did you choose for the export? If you choose DNG, then this is as expected. DNG files have the edits embedded in their metadata, not applied to the pixels. And if you choose 'Original', for example because you want to export a JPEG and the original image is also a JPEG, then this is also as expected. You will get what you asked for: a copy of the (unedited) original. Export as JPEG, even if the original is a JPEG.

    I am aware of what you are saying, but this is not the problem. I am trying to export a TIF file.
