I hope someone can help

I have worked on my lightroom skills with a old Imac that work was gonna skip. Im using lightroom 4 as the mac can only run 10.6.8.

The photo when edited in lightroom looks really good but once exported it looks slightly blue and you can see noise etc. But when i look at the same photo in lightroom its fine

I havent played with any settings in the Export bit and it only happens in some photos

Any idea's or anything i need to be doing ??

Thanks is advance
 
check to see when exported that you have the quality slider upto 100 ;-)
 
I suspect you may not have a calibrated monitor, which may be part of the colour problem. Are you using the print model with the settings set to " Printer manages colour" if not try that ( It may not cure the problem but possible improve it.

Are you also using the printer manufacturers ink and paper. If not this can also give a miss match when it comes to printing and cause a colour bias.

Finally have you got the sharpening turned up a bit too high. This can often give a grainy/noisy result. Try setting it to the default position and see if that helps if you have.

- havent actually printed them onto paper yet its just looking at them via the pic view program. I will check the sharpness as that could be an issue

I don't work with LR but I suppose it should do these things…

Since RAW files have no colour space, it is only important to
specify colour space at publishing. These options should be
available like output quality, size etc and colour space.

Some may recommend sRGB (1966) but I always use and sug-
gest RGB(1998). There are better ones but, since they are not
widely supported, it makes no sense to select them.

In the export dialogue, it comes in the file settings part. See:

Pics not showing on Flickr, or at least the link doesn't work.
 
Nope, still nothing.
 
yep I can see the photos... I cant see the issue with them though look ok to me
 
the only issue I can see is they are over sharpened giving more noise etc.... I cant see the blue that much though
 
Weird, still nothing and my account is OK.
Have you a link to a single image?
 
I think its to do with the monitor im editing on as ive loaded the links on the Imac ( Old very old one) and there is a slight blue tint. I might have a play and export one on a windows PC. What does everyone think about them??

So when editing a photo is there a certain amount of sharpness that is recommended? as like you say to much gives off noise etc ?

That works and I can see the stream.
I don't see the blue, but to me they look a bit over sharpened (just my opinion though! )

Yep that's the general option which is gd as it means im doing it wrong lol. Its really only the 2nd time i have really played with Lightroom so taken all comments on board :). Anything else i should work on?
 
Nope :)

The more you do the better you get, as with anything.
And enjoy it...

I can't see any blue on my iPad, they look ok. This may help with learning Lightroom 4, 17hrs of free tutorial videos. It may take a while to work through them!

If you look at all the photos from that children's play, some have a slight blue cast and some look "correct". Is the white balance the same value for all?

no set values have to look at them on an individual basis .... the higher the iso you use .... if you put a lot of sharpness into it creates more noise hence looking very noisy
