Default Photohop Export Problem (I think) - Solved

I use a combination of Lightroom 3 and Photoshop CS5 to post-process my photos (most of the "real work" is in Lightroom and Adobe Camera RAW).

Up until today this has worked well. But now I have a bit of an issue. First, an explination of the problem. I took a shot of the interior of a client's home, postprocessed it and then exported it to show on my 365Project website. The photo in DNG form looks "warmer" or has a more orange tone inside Lightroom and Photoshop than the exported JPEG version does. Heck even the Canon RAW file looks warmer than the exported pic does.

As of yet, I can find no reason for it. I've not done anything differently this time than I have a dozen or more times in the past. I was hoping someone here might have a reason why and maybe suggest something to try to fix it.

I'm going to direct you guys/gals to my website for the pics - I hope you don't mind going there. (And no, I'm not trying some back-alley manuver to promote my site. It's just I'm tired and can barely focus on the screen ATM. If needed I'll upload the pics to my Flickr account and post the pics here tomorrow.)

Kevin, I'm not a LR expert as I've just moved to it from Aperture, but I've seen similar problems before. My problems all were tracked back to fat fingering a setting in the export function. I'm not on my editing machine and would have to look to see what my issue was with color, but I did have an issue I could resolve. The one that really got me was every photo I posted was over sharpened and I couldn't figure out why as my work flow was the same. Finally I found LR was doing another dose of sharpening on export.
May not be your problem, but checking export settings only take a few minutes.

FDCPR, looks like you were correct.

Looks like after the updates (or me just flipping settings, lol) when Lightroom was sending a file to Photoshop to be edited it was telling Photoshop to use ProPhoto RGB color profile instead of the sRGB. While I think that ProPhoto RGB is newer (and perhaps better), the sRGB setting makes the photos look the same in both apps and the exported JPEG. I guess I'll stick with that setting unless someone can tell me why the ProPhoto color profile should be the one I use.

Thanks again for your help....
