Random green photos, help!

[tbarnes]

I haven't been on this website in forever BUT I am in a bit of a pickle... literally GREEN. euh!

My problem is I have edited my images in lightroom, say there is something I want to fix or maybe I want to apply an action real fast in photo shop. Usually I just hit save and then of course it saves that image and it is updated in Lightroom. Well I want to save this picture separately because I want to save the original in Lightroom untouched as well. So I hit Save as, save it to my desktop as a jpeg and done. I later on go to view the image on just the windows preview thing and it looks great, I open it up on full screen and OMG ITS GREEN. So its very de-saturated. (is that a word?)

Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong? Another image of mine I did exactly the same EXCEPT I saved it straight to the image in Light room. It turned out fine! I think I have my photoshop color settings all screwy

I am absolutely terrible at uploading images here. So I uploaded this one for yall to see. The image on the right of the little girl is the picture I am speaking of. I couldn't upload the original being that it is too large so this is a saved for web copy. This is what the image is suppose to look like and like I said when I open it in full screen is when all the warmth is sucked away!

Are you working with RAW files, and how are you adjusting your WB?

Sorry it took me forever to figure out how to reply to you! Yes Raw and oh gawd I couldn't answer that I usually do just minimal editing in LR and only use photoshop if I want to really edit an image like the above one. I usually get a great picture in camera and don't adjust much, I still have a lot to learn though of course.

I know this has to do with how I am saving it because I clicked a few buttons to see what would change when I saved and it definitely affected the image.

I took this of my computer screen so you could see what I mean.

What Color Space?

Lightroom uses the ProPhoto RGB color space for editing.
For output intended for electronic display the color space has to be changed to sRGB.

Thank you for posting those! I read an article one time that walked me through how to set up photoshop color settings for photography, but it seemed to mess up a few things, as in not matching with lightroom. Color settings on my photoshop right now are srgb.

Anymore help, anyone?

Fixed it. Not sure why it does it, but I fixed it, thanks

..oh gawd I couldn't answer that

First; are you familiar with the term "white balance"? Most camera defaults set the white balance (WB) at "auto", which will yield average results in a wide range of light colors. If you are using light that is of a color that the "auto WB" will not give acceptable results, you can adjust the WB in post.

I don't have Light Room, so I'm not familiar with the actual adjustments, but in my software I can make adjustments by a variety of methods. I can manually set a slider to one side or the other, I can let the software decide (iffy at best) or I can use a "eyedropper" tool to "pick" a spot on the photograph that I know the color of, typically white, gray or black.

So have you tried this yet on your computer?
