On export, Lightroom has been performing a consistent color shift which makes all people photographed appear to have rosacea. Â Tonight I set about figuring out why and emerged triumphant:
Lightroom takes in RAW images and runs its rendering to present to you a picture in Develop Mode. Â AWESOME! Â BUT, in Library mode it uses AdobeRGB for previews as well as Develop thumbnails. Â In Web and Slideshow it uses sRGB as that’s the most common on the web and on print it uses whatever you specify. Â I understand the logic of this and now know that I need to set my export options to compensate but at least give me the option to change this. Â IE, Firefox, Chrome, Safari and probably Opera and Konqueror all accept color profiles so I don’t see why the sRGB default. Â Or at least I didn’t until I uploaded something to Facebook which strips away profiles on upload. Â It appears the pull of the Zuckerbeast is more powerful than all modern browsers simultaneously entering the 21st century.
