wrong colors after export

Hi there,

 

I use LR(12.3 Build [202304101834-a085245c]) and PS(24.4.1 20230418.r.449 53a6c60 x64)

on Windows 10.

In LR and PS the colors are more Magenta and after exporting them, they are more on the Green/Yellow side.

Images where taken with an R5, so they are CR3 files.

 

I almost always open Imgaes in Photoshop via LR. Checking the Colorspace in PS and even converting to the srgb color space did nothing for me. Colors in the Programms stay the same as they where and on export thery shift. Export Setting dont seem to make a Difference. Exporting color profil is srgb. I also tried exporting and saving them as Tiff and PNG files, aside from jpeg.

 

Monitor is Calibrated with an spyderpro device, sanity checked on my second monitor and the iphone. Colors after Export are Displayed the some on all 3 Devices. Had anyone the same Problem and was able to resolve it? I tryed Google before writing this Post, but i where almost always sent in the direction of color Workspaces. In PS at least, the color settings are set to srgb. couldnt rly find an option in LR to choose the color space.

 

thanks in advance

 

Tony

thank you, for all the advices.

 

Today, after yesterdays Shutdown of the PC, the error was gone. exported Images and Lightroom+Photoshop are matching in colors now, without doing anything.

I would guess that it is a Bug in the Nvidia driver. The OS is Pretty old at this point and i have never run DDU up until now. I will try that first and see if the Bug occurs again.

It sounds like you are experiencing a color management issue between your editing software and your export settings. Here are a few suggestions you can try to resolve the issue:

1.Check your LR export settings: Make sure that the "File Settings" tab in the Export dialog box is set to sRGB as the color space. You can also try setting the "Metadata" tab to "All Metadata" to ensure that the color profile is being embedded in the exported image.

2.Check your PS color settings: Go to Edit > Color Settings in Photoshop and make sure that the RGB working space is set to sRGB. You can also try checking the box for "Ask When Opening" in the Color Management Policies section to ensure that you are prompted to choose the correct color profile when opening an image.

3.Update your camera profiles: It's possible that the camera profile being used by LR and PS is not accurate for your specific camera model. Try updating your camera profiles to the latest version by going to Edit > Camera Calibration in LR, and selecting "Check for Updates" in the Profile tab.

4.Try exporting with different file formats: JPEG, TIFF, and PNG are all capable of storing different color profiles. Try exporting your images in each format to see if the issue persists.

5.Check your monitor calibration: While it sounds like you have already calibrated your monitor with a SpyderPro device, it's always a good idea to double-check your calibration settings to ensure they are accurate.

Hopefully one of these suggestions will help you resolve the issue.

@Karthik balaji 

The working space in color settings is irrelevant. The embedded profile in the document will override it.

 

What matters is that there is an embedded profile at all. For the purposes discussed here, it doesn't matter which one it is, as long as it's there. Any profile will be correctly treated in properly color managed software.

 

Profiles and color settings don't need to match. That's the whole point of color management. The profile just has to be there.

 

And it has to be viewed in software that actually supports color management.

 

Not at my machine right now, so I haven't yet looked at the examples, but run through digitaldog's list again.

    OK, now I've looked at the examples, and I have no idea what photo viewer is used here. It's not Windows Photos.

     

    Either way, that's apparently where the problem is, not Photoshop or Lightroom (which both agree). Try again with Windows Photos, which has been fully color managed for several years.

      The images look different (from Photoshop) in what application? It is color managed?

      If so,  try disabling GPU in the preferences (Performance). Any better?

      If not, recalibrate and build a new ICC display profile; the old one might be corrupted. If you are using software/hardware for this task, be sure the software is set to build a matrix, not LUT profile, Version 2, not Version 4 profile.

      If turning OFF the GPU works, it's a GPU bug, and you need to contact the manufacturer or find out if there's an updated driver for it. This is why disabling GPU is an option as more and more functionality moves to the GPU in newer versions of many Adobe products. Disable third-party graphics accelerators. Third-party GPU overclocking utilities and haxies aren't supported.
