JPEG Color Cast

As I post process my shots, I save a JPEG copy of each in a folder that I can send to my web site and processing lab and give to clients for review.

When I open the folder and select "slide show", the displayed images have a distinct yellow cast. The display during post processing (in either Lightroom or Photoshop) is fine. And the resulting image prints fine, too.

The post processing is done with Lightroom 5 and Photoshop 6 (Cloud version) with Nik and Topaz plug-ins. My monitor is calibrated using a HueyPRO. I'm running Windows 7, monitor is an HP 2511x.

Any ideas what I'm not doing to sync the color balance on the "stand alone" image with that from the Adobe products.

Hi,

I had a similar problem to this, I processed and saved an image as a JPEG in Photoshop, if I re-opened it in photoshop the image looked fine. However opening the JPEG with any other program resulted in the image appearing yellowed, like a weird white balance or tint had been applied.

The solution I found was to use the save for web command from the file tab. This opens a small tool that encodes the JPEG with, I assume, the right colour encoding for any browser/app to correctly display. Anyways this works great and I've never had a problem since. I never got to the bottom of what the original problem was, but 'save for web' was a great work around.
