Hi guys!! Let me just say that I have just recently started having this problem. Anytime I save a photo from lightoom to my phone, the picture is extremely desaturated. Is anyone else having this problem? I feel like it started doing it around the last time I updated my phone. The pictures look awful with no color. I've always saved them to my phone and it's always saved any effects/presets I've added to my picture. Until recently...I just get this "blah" picture.

    Hi Candice,

    Are you importing the photo into Lightroom or using the App’s Camera. Also when you save to the Gallery, what settings are you using/options are you choosing?

    I am importing the photo to my phone from my camera as a raw file, I am editing it in Lightroom on my mobile app, and then saving it to my mobile device (that's the only option lightroom gives on how to save it). It's always been what I have done but here lately, when I save the photo to my mobile devices gallery from the mobile app, it's very desaturated

    Hi Candicef,

    Sorry to hear that the images look desaturated on the mobile device, could you please let us know what mobile device you're using?

    Also, have you tried tuning the colors or color calibrating the mobile device and see if it helps?

    Regards,

    Hey the phone I am using is a note 8. I have Lightroom downloaded on my phone as a mobile app. And on the mobile app the picture looks great, the color is there. But when I download it from the mobile app to my gallery on my phone, then the phoyi becomes desaturated
