Hi tarutledge007# -
I understand your initial issue is resolved, but thought I'd post this very informative piece explaining sRGB vs Adobe RGB vs ProPhoto RGB.
I use Lr quite a bit & I've never had any update cause either the workspace or export settings to change.
Cheers - Tony
That's a terrific article Tony! As the writer says, "You might want to dig down and read it a couple of times to fully internalize how evrything works." Point taken. It's saved to my reading list.
One quick takeaway I thought was a little humorous in light of my experience: "...don't let an Adobe RGB or ProPhoto RGB image escape into the wild."
Thanks for passing this along. It will be a nice reference.

I don't know what product to buy. Somebody here to give me advice?
What i want is to create a video from images. Add some transitions, music, text so that it looks nice and fancy.
Do I need powerdirector or photodirector or something else (I already use Photoshop)
Any advice is really appriciated.
Thanks
Kelly
Hi Kelly - I think Powerdirector (PD) is a great application for what you want to do. If you have the images already you can bring them into PD, put them on the timeline, add or change transitions and add a music track. It goes quickly and from there you can spend all the time you want adding the bells, whistles and "fancy" things you want. You can do basic photo editing within PD but since you're already set up with Photoshop, do your photo editing there and import to PD (I use Lightroom the same way). If you want to dive deeper into all of this, Director Suite 365 gives you high level photo (ie PhotoDirector), audio and video tools plus tons of effects that will keep you learning for years. So I guess to answer your question directly, I'd suggest Powerdirector. Best wishes, TR

I don’t see any difference with the same 24 bit jpg imported in Lightroom and in PD365/21 in my pc. See the attached screenshot. Is the format of the image a jpg or a 10 bit hdr image. That will show the difference. You can supply the original image for other members to check out on their system.
I don't know about the bit depth but your logic prompted me to go back into Lightroom and see what export options were available. I did test exports to Pro Photo RGB, sRGB and Adobe RGB. My original export was Pro Photo RGB and that's what didn't look so good. Adobe RGB looked better but I think it's a fairly old color space. sRGB looks fantastic! There must have been a recent Lightroom update that kicked the export toggle to Pro Photo and PD has some troubles with that. In any case I'm back in business. Thanks for taking time to look into this.

Power Director is changing the color balance of imported photos. Please see attached image from Lightroom, then see how it looks and produces from Power Director. Skin tones are terrible.

I notice the clip/movie button seems to arbitrarily switch itself, movie seem to be the default. In one of the pull-down menus ( I forget which one, "view" or "preview" maybe) up top you can select movie or clip too if the buttons in that window aren't there or working.
See if this helps, it worked for me. The movie/clip buttons are gone, but you can use the square button instead. If you have a clip highlighted, hitting the square button will send you back to the start of the clip, If no clips are highlighted (you might have to click out in the gray space to clear any selections) then hitting the square button sends you back to the start of the movie. Let me know if that works.
