Colors in lightroom

[dptalk]

My colors in lightroom seem to be messed up. May be I did some white balancing on one of the images with the "dropper" tool in "develop" and it has messed up colors of all the photographs. All my photos now have a "warm" offset to each of them. They appear correct in photoshop and picassa but lightroom each of them have yellowish warm tinge on the entire photo.

I have tried reseting settings from "settings" and "develop" menus, but it hasn't helped.

So to provide more info, this same kind of issue happens in photoshop as well if I change the foreground color. But in photoshop you can go to the regular (black and white) foreground and background color by pressing "D" on the keyboard which will reset the foreground and background color settings.

Please help. This is driving me nuts. I edit my photo in lightroom and it all looks good and when it goes to photoshop, it's a different photo in regards to colors.

Hi dptalk, welcome to the forum!

How are you calibrating your monitor? Most often this kind of problem is caused by a corrupted monitor profile, so if you calibrate with hardware (i.e. spyder, eye one, etc) then I'd suggest recalibrating, and if you don't currently calibrate, I'd add that to your shopping list and switch to a sRGB profile for the minute to see if that fixes it.
