Ok, so I know that if I did some googling I'd find the solution to this but I have two interstate trips this week and no time, sooooooooo...
I am working on two Dell 2410 monitors. I have one only calibrated using the Xrite i1 system. I am using a laptop so only have one video card, so do all my editing on the calibrated monitor and my other work on the uncallibrated one. My PC is an i7 processor (Q820 @ 1.73ghz), with 8gb RAM, running Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) and an NVIDIA GeForce GT 230M GPU. I am shooting in RAW (.dng, not pef), and using ACR in Lightroom 3 for my initial edits. So, here is my issue. I know that this has something to do with colour profiles, but can't get my head around what it is that is wrong. AND, it has only recently happened, everything used to be fine until a month or so ago and I haven't done any System changes that I know of, except for normal updates, in that time. When I complete my edits in LR3, they look fine, I am really happy with the colour balance etc, but when I export the files and view them in either Photoshop, or any other file viewer outside of LR, (for example when they are uploaded to Facebook or my blog or whatever), or when I include them in emails, the colours are all wrong, and VERY red. There is muuuuuuuuch too much red (and maybe yellows too) in the files but only AFTER they've been exported from LR. AND, if I open a RAW file in ACR through PS that has already been processed in LR3, it does the same thing - looks great in ACR, or in PS, but once I save it as a jpg and view it outside of PS or LR3, it looks like the models/kids have spent a whole lot of time outside without any sunscreen on. Any ideas??? Thanks so much!
