Hi,

This is my first post and it's for help. When I export my photos from lightroom to photoshop they are different. I have the colour spaces set to the same and I'm using the "edit in" function from within Lightroom. I'm using lightroom cc 2015 and photoshop cc 2015. The image is a raw file that has been converted to DNG in lightroom on import. Here are 2 samples, the darker one is in Lightroom.

As you can see they are totally different.

HELP

    Lance, one thing I'll note off the bat is that in addition to the exposure difference, there's a pronounced distortion difference between the two images that I normally associate with lens/camera profile difference. Assuming you havent made differing lens distortion settings, then it appears one has different profile.  I'd be interested in knowing if you create the PS image from LR using "smart object"  what results you see.

    I’m not seeing this myself. I have both color spaces set to ProPhoto RGB and the render settings of tiff, 16 bit, ProPhoto RGB

    Go to Preferences >> External Editing and check that the color space setting is consistent.

    Your not seeing the difference in the sample images?

    I have all my external editing settings the same as you and my colour profile is matching in Photoshop. It's really annoying.
