Title: Jpegs exported from LR Much too dark from New Monitor calibrated w i1pro
Post by: One Frame at a Time on February 17, 2016, 02:29:02 pm

Hi,

Never had an issue like this before.  I just got a Benq 2700 and calibrated it with the i1 display pro (not using the internal LUT).  I edited a bunch of images in LR. When I export them they are far darker in image preview than they looked in LR.  I am exporting into SRGB  color space at 100%.  Using a PC.  Never had an issue like this.

Looking a little closer the problem seems like its with Windows Photo viewer that comes up if you click on a jpeg file.  In Windows Explorer, the image is displayed properly.  Anyone have an idea what might be going on?


Thanks,

Paul

I believe your problem is related to Windows Photo Viewer and how it manages (or not  :D) monitor profiles.  It does not seem to know what to do with v4 profiles. 

AFAIK the default profiles created with i1 Display pro are V4 you should re calibrate using the V2 switch and I suspect your problem will vanish
