Hi All

Can anyone explain why the image I see in the Lightroom Develop window doesn't quite match when I open it in Photoshop after export from Lightroom?
It's pretty close, and easy to correct, but I would prefer the Lightroom file to look identical when opened in Photoshop.

My Lightroom Export setting is set to AbobeRGB and the Photoshop Color Setting is set to a Working Space: AdobeRGB.

As I understand it, Lightroom doesn't assign a working space to the raw file until export, where you can then choose to export it as sRGB, ProPhotoRGB or AdobeRGB.
So does that mean that what I see in the Lightroom Develop window is the profiled Monitor color space? If so, is Lightroom converting from Monitor color Space to AdobeRGB color space on Exporting?. And if that is the case, why is there a small disparity in the conversion?
Thanks

Peter
