Completely different colors when exporting

[TylerWeslow]

Hi all. When exporting from Lightroom Classic, or using the "edit in" function and editing in Photoshop 2022, the colors in my image are completely different. I have tried updating my graphics drivers. My display calibration is set to sRGB - but I do not think this is the issue as they are different even between applications.

I have not tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Version numbers are at the bottom of this post.

I've been struggling trying to find a solution for about 2 hours now and would appreciate any and all help as to why this would be happening.

Photoshop Color Settings

Lightroom External Editing & Export settings

Example below. Left is lightroom(correct) right is photoshop(wrong) You can even see some weird red color artifacting on the hood in the right image.

Are you embedding the sRGB profile? It's not enough to just convert to sRGB, you also need to embed the profile.

If you are, and are still seeing this, my money is on a bad monitor profile.

Oh, taht might be the issue. When exporting i set the format to jpeg and the colorspace to srgb. Is that embedding or converting? I hope this will finally clear the problem.

i know that Photoshop has convert and embed boxes to check when exporting, but Lightroom?

Hi,
i have exported an image from Lightroom and if i view it in the Windows Viewer or on a phone it is oversaturated and has too much contrast. I know that Windows Viewer isn't a color managed software, but the image is exported as Srgb and my Monitor and System is set to Srgb. How can i see what the image would look like in Lightrooms Develop Tab while I'm editing? That should be the default in my opinion. Is there any way to fix that?

Simple solution and many wrong answers. I faced the same problem. go to the color sync utility and change the default color LCD to sRgb. You may need to look for the profile in the color profiles folder on the system.
