Over-saturated exports

[toshphoto]

I just purchased a Benq SW2700 monitor and I already had a Spyder 5 calibrator. All seemed good, prints are matching the screen. However I’ve noticed that all my tiff Adobergb 1998 exports from LR classic are over saturated when viewed in Bridge.

Is this to be expected? I am running PME on the monitor.

Thanks Chris

Has there been any system or Lightroom update since you noticed the change Chris?

What about the External Editing settings in the Lightroom Preferences window?

Bridge doesn't display the file itself, it displays sRGB jpeg previews, built separately and stored in the Bridge cache.

When sRGB displays oversaturated on a wide gamut monitor, it's because color management isn't working. Try to purge the cache and let it rebuild (or delete the whole cache folder in your user account).

Adobe RGB shouldn't be oversaturated on wide gamut displays, even without color management. Just sRGB.

BTW, if PME is the BenQ calibration software, it's well known to be buggy and unreliable. Make sure it's updated. If the profile is broken, anything can happen.

You can check if the Monitor Profile is off by changing it to sRGB...  if files look the same with sRGB then the profile was corrupt or off...

...or Adobe RGB in this case. It's a wide gamut unit.
