Images differ in Photoshop?

[bigbadbrahim]

Hi all! New to the forums and totally in love with LR already.

I'm trying to open my images in Photoshop after I've adjusted them in Lightroom. Basically I need my workflow to go from color correcting and image tone and contrast in LR, then export to PS and do the crazy PS work. I've been doing my LR adjustments, then have tried exporting both DNG and TIFF in sRGB and ProPhoto RGB. When I open them in PS after that the images look radically different. Color and contrast are both off.

Am I missing a step here? Why aren't my LR adjustments transferring when exported?

If that doesn't solve it, ask back.

That totally did it Brad. Thanks so much! Apparently my Monitor profile was corrupted so I switched it out for an RGB profile.

[/quote]That is fine as a diagnostic tool to show you had a bad profile, but now you want to properly calibrate your monitor by either a Software or hardware method.
