Question

Lost of image quality when exporting

Hi,

I´m facing serious troubles when exporting my pictures from lightroom to my computer. It seems likee there´s a lot of posts related to this issue and I have read all of them but any suggestion seem to work in my case.

I send you below an example of what´s going on when I export.

As you can see there´s a big image quality loss .... I´ve tried tons of export settings but none of them seem to work. My export settings are as follows

On the other hand,I haven´t done a monitor calibration (I do not have a calibration device) but the problem is with the overall image quality and I think a bit of exposure added when exporting ....

Finally, the only way to get the exact result as in lightroom is by making screenshots which I dont thinks it´s acceptable at all ... so I would really appreciate if someone could help me with this issue. It´s really really frustrating.

Thanks a lot in advance

Carlos

    You could test if there was already poor quality in the image, by changing the exposure in Lightroom until the image looks as bright as the JPEG. When you do that, do you notice the same quality change?

    If you do, read this post: RAW exports to JPG lighter than they appear in Library

    Thanks a lot for your reply. Unfortunately I dont notice a quality change at all .... I seriously have no idea of what´s happening when I export the photos.

    Thanks

    Carlos.

    Could you try the idea about adding sRGB as a profile to your JPEG viewer? That would be useful even if there is still a quality issue to be solved.
