Exporting JPGs in Photoshop? (color issues)

[slidewilson]

Hi everyone,

New to the forum and looking for a bit of help if possible. I've been working in Lightroom and Photoshop on a few projects. The colors in Lightroom and Photoshop are as I want them, but as soon as I try to "save as" a JPG from the .PSD file, there's a big shift in the colors. It's as if the color temperature is dropped a bunch and a lot of the reds and oranges are lost - the images look a bit ghastly.

I have somewhat limited knowledge of color spaces, but does anybody know why there would be a color shift when trying to save JPGs from Photoshop? Is there a different way to export JPGs? Something in the settings? It's not a screen calibration issue because I can actually pull up the two different colored images on the same screen.

Any thoughts appreciated, thank you!

What color space are you working your PSD files in?
When you save the JPG how do you expect it to be viewed?
How are you viewing the JPG when you notice the difference?
The JPG should look fine in PS with any color space but if you're using a colors space other than sRGB it probably won't look right in other viewers.

You should be editing your images in the color space you're final images will be outputted to.
I know that may not make sense to you so let me explain.

I'm a photographer and I shoot Adobe RGB and I edit in Adobe RGB then I print to a printer that expects an Adobe RGB image.
If I plan for an image to go to the web I will convert the image to sRGB and THEN edit it.
