Lightroom Colours

[AndyBorzi]

Just playing with a trial of Lightroom and noticed that the colours are warmer/yellow but when exported to file or to photoshop they are cooler. Anyone else found this?

Example:

Nope,
Check your export settings?

Looks like a colour management setting is wrong somewhere...

Yeah, Lightroom uses an unusual colour profile by default. It gives a great colour gamut in those apps which support full colour management but most picture viewers and things like IE don't support embedded colour profiles so will interpret the image incorrectly. If you're exporting for web display etc then use the sRGB profile.

How weird. I've never had that with mine.

I'm sure I read last night that Lightroom only edits in the ProPhotoRGB colourspace.

Thanks all...I will check out the colour profile in Lightroom. I wonder if this can be changed?

The exported picture is the correct colour though!...as far as my eyes see it anyway!!

I'm not sure the Lightroom colour profile can be changed Andy.

Andy,

when you're exporting, change the colour profile as in the following image - note sRGB in the dropdown. this preference will be stored for the next export, in my experience. I had the same problem as you.

hope this helps
