Lightroom Export Issues

[Columbo]

Right something has changed in the last few days and I've no idea what.

Basically when exported from Lightroom I'm getting totally different results on the jpeg export to the way I've processed the RAW. The only thing I've done the PC in the last few days is let a Windows Update install.

I don't want to start messing with colour spaces and profiles until I know exactly what I'm doing with them. For reference everywhere possible is set sRGB.

See below for what I'm talking about and any help appreciated.

Lightroom pre-export.

JPEG once exported (it looks like this in every photo viewer including LR)

Colour Profile used for export (I've never changed this!)

Am I doing something wrong?

I dont think you are doing anything wrong. I too have had this issue, but for the life of me I cannot remember how it was remedied.

You mentioned a Windows Update, have you used the Adobe Application updater to see if it has anything to update?

No updates available, I think since the 4.4 update then followed by LR5, anyone on LR4 is pretty much done with updates.

Sounds / looks similar to the below:

Thanks for the link, I'll have a mess around with the monitor profile tonight.

Well after a few days of playing with this I'm still no closer to fixing it.

I'm convinced that the issue is with preview in Lightroom as some of my presets are exporting as I would have expected them to, Lightroom just doesn't seem to want to display it properly.

Anybody got any ideas beyond me taking a hammer to it?

Right just thought I'd update this for anyone that has a similar issue and picks this up via search.

I've fixed it.

For some reason Lightroom had stopped using my calibration profile and reverted back to the standard Windows one, no other applications were affected.

I can only presume that a Windows update had somehow caused this to happen as it started directly after I was asked to reboot after the last set of updates.

So I used Calibrize to create a new profile, rebooted and hey presto Lightroom is back to how it should be.
