I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1 and I've been doing through some pictures I took of my son in B&W in Lightrooms v4.

I exported these as I normally do, from RAW to JPG, after some tinkering, but it would seem that v4 has issues with the conversion process on Windows 8.1.

Upgraded to Lightrooms v5.2 and it is just as bad.

The B&W images with just don't tone very well, they are blotchy and look pixelated. However, when reviewing them in LR, they are fine. This leads me to believe there maybe an incompatibility or possible plug in?

Has anyone come across this yet/before?

Example:
The one on the right is the RAW in LR, the one on the left if the JPG. Export settings JPEG set to 100% quality. This was as screenshot

Is there any reason I'm having this issue? It's the first time I've seen it!

Only thing I can think of is, are you using the same colour space pre and during export, I'm using the same software and OS and, not noticed anything like this.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what do you mean?
 
Lightroom uses AdobeRGB................... when you output your images, if you use say "SRGB" it could be making the changes there.

Also worth checking you're not applying any presets on export.
 
Oh I see, didn't think of that, will try it now.

Thanks :)
 
Just changed the colour space to Adobe and it's no different :(
