Question

Lightroom Mobile destroying my JPEGs

My JPEGs come out fine from my camera, but when I import them into Lightroom mobile [Android], this is what happens. This is not my picture and I don't want Lightroom to change the colors of my pictures. Is this a bug or what?

I need to change this asap but can't find any options.

    Ok, I've just tried to change my camera color gammut from Adobe RGB to sRGB. Everything works as intended. Ironically, Adobe cant deal with its own RGB profile.

    Hey, ​@Tal do Bu. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. Thanks for adding the video. 

     

    I see that you’re working on an Android device. Which specific device and Android version are you working on? In the past, the devices’ color management triggered this difference. Head here to learn more: 

     

    The image appears to shift when viewed in loupes or detail view. In general, when an image appears in the device gallery, you're presented with a processed JPEG preview. However, what you see in the Loupe view is actually how the image is, at its unprocessed/raw state. And it's up to your creative vision to transform it into what you'd like. 

     

    I hope this helps. Thanks!

    Hello, ​@Sameer K . Thanks for the reply. I am currently running Lightroom on a Motorola Edge 50 Pro running Android 16. 

    The shift doesn't happen when viewed in loupe - it happens whenever I import any JPEG I took with my camera, which is a Nikon Zf. I am currently using Adobe RGB color space on my camera. You're possibly taking about RAW files shift when viewed in loupe mode, but this isn't the case for 2 main reasons:

    1 - the file isn't an unprocessed RAW, it's a JPEG.

    2 - whenever I import the file, the shift happens making the image insanely saturated and contrasted, which should be the other way around if that was the care - saturated shifting into unprocessed file.

    Lightroom is turning my natural JPEG into a saturated mess whenever I try to edit any picture, which is a really bad and strange behavior. There's no option to turn it off. It happens automatically.

    Thank you in advance.
