Thanks for the replies! Like all good threads I think the answers here might be spawning further questions...

First off, in the screenshot above I was indeed still in ProPhoto RGB Color space, what I meant was that when I changed to sRGB the problem still seemed to persist in exactly the same manner as the screenshot shows above. What I tested (IIRC) was the following;

• In PS I went to the Colour Settings and changed from ProPhoto to sRGB, then hit ok and exited.
• In LR I went to the settings where it mentions External Editors and set PS to being sRGB there as well
• I then did the LR>Edit In>PS with the file, which then seemed to look relatively no different in PS even though now we're in a different colour space
• When bringing the Export As preview window up again (with these different changes) a significant and possibly the exact same tone was seen.

So I will try these other fixes that you and Preston have supplied and report back.

My new questions are this;

1) It sounds like there are a lot of recommendations to work in ProPhoto RGB 16bit (my files are RAW 14bits) for both LR and PS environments. However... if the professional work I do is to eventually end up with supplying my client with the best Jpg quality they can get... am I best to just never edit in ProPhoto in these environment, because what I am seeing in the applications is not what the client will end up getting, it's making me second guess my editing process now :S If I edit in a sRGB environment then at least what I am seeing is what the export is going to be like...?

2) With ProPhoto being better than sRGB, when I have gone to printing I have thus far just used the Print module with the RAW edited DNG file in LR. I'm guessing because I am printing that way that perhaps I am getting higher quality prints than if I exported my LR edits to sRGB Jpgs and then used some kind of separate Jpg viewer (I use FastStone fwiw) to print from? Basically I am asking if printing from a RAW edited file in a ProPhoto environment leads to better prints than a DNG file that has been worked on in an sRGB environment?

3) And finally... what I am seeing (in my screenshot above), is this then typically normal? There is nothing wrong per se it's just I'm seeing with the Export As preview window what happens when you move from ProPhoto and into sRGB?

Thanks again peeps!
