1. Re: Wedding client proofing
RikkFlohr Sep 24, 2012 11:51 AM (in response to gomez1205)These things are out of your control:
1. The settings on the end-users device.
2. The ability of whatever application they choose to read and manage an imbedded color profile.
Given that, it is pretty much impossible to get the kind of control for which you are hoping. The differences you are seeing on applications in your own experience is largely due to lack of or inclusion of Color Management by the software's manufacturer.

gomez1205 Sep 24, 2012 11:58 AM (in response to RikkFlohr)I suppose that was what I was asking. So just because I export it as sRGB doesn't mean the client will view the jpg file and translate it as sRGB or the same color profile that I want them to view it.
I guess I was thinking that the sRGB carried with the file and told whatever program that was opening it whatever color space it was.
Thanks.

RikkFlohr Sep 24, 2012 12:04 PM (in response to gomez1205)Only if the program is capable of managing color profiles...
Not all browsers can, and those who can are not necessarily enabled to be default...

To gain more control over how your clients view the images why not use LR's slideshow module and export to PDF. If they don't have Adobe Reader it's simple enough to download and install it. Reader is color managed so the only variable is the customer's display adjustments.
I also agree with Geoff concerning use of 10Mp images for client review. I'd use PDF export to no larger than 1600 x 1200, which is ~2Mp.
