I am very new to lightroom and am enjoying it so far. I am having some problems when I export. I use Jpeg a format for most all shooting. This is what I have done. I import my photos to lightroom, I adjusted them there and then have taken them into CS2 to do some editing. I then am ready to export my completed files back into a final file folder. When I go to view them there they look fine. But in certain programs like uploading them in Darkroom to post them to my site...they thumbnails are strange looking...like there is no red. But when I view it large it's fine. I did print a few photos also and they looked a little off.
My question would be...when exporting a jpeg or an edited tiff file to a jpeg what is the best way to do this. I'm sure I'm missing something. But this is a whole new world to me.
One thing I did do, was take that exported file back into just CS2 and then just saved it again and the problem was solved. So I'm thinking it has to do with the way I am exporting it from lightroom. What are the best settings to use? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am using the latest version of lightroom1.4.1
Windows XP

Thank you!

Check the colour profile in the Export dialog chefmom - I'd guess it's set to ProPhotoRGB and the programs that look odd are not colour managed. If you set it to sRGB, the files should look correct in the non-colour-managed programs such as web browsers. If you fancy reading up a bit more, search for 'profile mismatch' or something along those lines....

And welcome to the forum!
