Lightroom 2 Colour Management
 

Hey guys,

I uploaded an image onto flickr, viewed it in both IE and Firefox...

IE: This image was more dark(saturated) than what I saw in LR2 but is similar to what I actually shot/previewed on my SLR.

Firefox: This image was similar to what I saw in LR2, the image is a lot brighter than what I actually shot. ie. black looked dark brownish.

Is there a way to turn off the colour management that LR2 has on, because I am having a hard time with developing some pictures.

Thanks in advance,

Shin.

Too many variables to say what is actually going on here.

- DO NOT go by what you see on the screen on the back of the camera! Read the histogram instead.
- is your monitor calibrated?
- what colourspace are you working in?
- It may just be the differences in the browsers.
- Can you post the image?

I know my monitor is not calibrated.
The colourspace I think I am working in is sRGB. But I played around with the camera calibration...which was set at ACR 4.4...and changed to to portrait camera. This slightly changed it to look properly.

I read that IE is currently still not colour managed, but when I have my image viewed in IE; it is how it looks like on camera.
On the other hand, FF seems to have colour management and changes the look of the image.

Here is the photo I was speaking of:

In image 1, I used the "print" module to print to file; this is also what the view is like in LR2. The photo to me seems brighter than the original from camera. ie. The blacks look Brownish.

In image 2, I used the "export" function to jpeg in sRGB format. This photo is closely similar to what I see in the camera.

Also, I viewed this on both IE and FF; on IE the 2nd image was correctly coloured but in FF the 2nd image is still slightly brownish.

Its probably your monitor color profile.

If you goto your color management options in windows set it to srgb or similar.

in vista:

display settings -> advanced settings -> color management

Finally!! LR2 has corrected its colouring!

Thanks alot jason and dutch!
