Color Issues
A while ago I went through some monitor calibration issues that I eventually solved. I used EyeOne and it didn't make Lightroom accurate enough. In the end, I think the solution was to set my monitor profile to ProPhoto RGB which is what LR uses. I'm not 100% sure that this is what I did. After upgrading to Snow Leopard, my preferences were reset. So I did what I recalled, which was to switch to ProPhoto RGB and then I edited a bunch of images. Now that they are done, they're all wrong after exporting them. My question is, is there any way to convert them during the export so that they look the way they look on my monitor at the moment? As I think about what I did to fix the calibration issue, I remember moving something in to a Lightroom folder that at first did nothing, but then after a restart or something along those lines, totally change the color. I'll sort that out later, but for now I need to find someway to save all the work I've done. Will something like sending them to Photoshop as ProPhoto and then saving from Photoshop make any difference?

Here's an article by Bruce Fraser that might help: Sep 04 09 02:11 pm Link MC Rock wrote: I would hope not. Sep 04 09 03:56 pm Link I understand what I should have done, but what I really need to know is if there is a way to convert the finished photos so that they look right without going back and adjusting all 130 individually. The problem comes form using a laptop monitor. I found a setting that worked better than calibrating with Eye One, the problem is that I don't remember what it was before Snow Leopard changed my preferences.
