Images are darker after export

Jotham Bonett
Hi all, I’m new to capture 1 previously using Lightroom. I’ve exported my images out of capture one and they look fine on my computer. When I’ve gone and opened the photos on a different device they are really dark compared to what was seen on capture one and then my laptop. Client noticed they were really dark as well after sending them the files.

    Hi Jotham Bonett - have you considered using recipe proofing to see how your images will look once they are exported? It's worth also taking into account the environment you were editing in, compared to the environment they are being viewed in.

    Feel free to post some examples in here for us to look at (if possible) or let us know if it's something you can reproduce consistently.

    It's worth also taking into account the environment you were editing in, compared to the environment they are being viewed in.

    This, and the monitor brightness setting (of both, your laptop and the display device on which it looks dark, but mainly the setting of you laptop monitor when you edited the image) are the most likely root causes.

    Does the exported image file (which you sent to your customer) look equally bright in the Photos app on your lapttop when compared to how it looks in C1 on your laptop?

    Can you paste the histogram of such an image from C1 here in the forum?

    I too have a similar problem. Here is a cap. Left is Win Photo viewer, center is C1 (proofing mode), right is FB. I used the JPEG - Full size, highest quality Export Recipe, and it's in proof mode too. On my laptop screen they all look blah, but on my big screen monitor you can see the differences in the 3 examples. If I just proof & export them and then upload them to (fill in the blank - Amazon Photos/FB/Walgreen/Local Camera Shop) web site they are darker and blah looking. Interesting note, the difference in C1 between adjusted and Recipe Proof is indeterminable. They both look great! They all look the same on my high end monitors (as expected). My laptop screen is ok, but kind of blah all around. The cap is from my better monitor. BTW last time I used C1 was 2005/6 time frame. v16.3.x is freakin' killer! Any help is appreciated!

    Hi John Goldsborough – The Win Photo Viewer is notoriously poor. It is not color managed so it cannot be trusted for judging exported files.
