Hi!
Wondering if someone can help me figure out why when I process a photo in LR2 (I'm using a JPEG) (this actually happens also when using a RAW file) and I save the results........when I open up the photo on my computer, the coloring is much different then it appears in LR, and I just saved the photo, but the 2 are totally different........aaarrrrrrrrrrrrgggghh!!!
Help......please!!

PS My color space selected is AdobeRGB 1998, if that info helps.

Thank you in advance icon_smile.gif

    When you make adjustments in LR you are not actually modifying the original JPG or RAW file. Your adjustments are actually stored as data in your LR catalog file. If you want to open the image file with another program with your LR adjustments, you will need to export the image- that will create a new JPG with your adjustments.

    This may seem like a lot of extra work, but it is the whole concept of non-destructive workflow that is LR.

    Hope this helps!
