I need help

[Breezy]

I have some how converted my working profile to RGB and the images are perfect, but when they are printed they look like total crap. I finally asked the lab how they print RGB or SRGB, we have determined that is my problem. OK Great glad we figured that out!
Now my question is do I have to start from scratch to work everything in SRGB? When I just assign the new profile to the images they look like the crap I was getting back from the lab. I work on them and they look MUCH better but not as good as the RGB. So am I SOL and have to start from scratch?
Sorry for the quesion. I am frustrated as is the client. I just want to get the awesome images printed that I was seeing on my screen.
TIA!

Did you shoot in raw? What program are you using?

[Breezy]

Hi Lonnie, Yes thankfully I shot in Raw. Pretty sure I shot in Srgb for the jpegs (raw+jpegs)
I just started using Lightroom last month. And I think my confusion came in there. Lightroom is srgb when I open in photoshop it was asking if I wanted to convert to working profile, well I said yes, and that is RGB. Not sure when or how I changed it from SRGB but obviously I did.
I think I am getting them pretty close and I have since changed my working profile back to SRGB. Is that all I need to do?

Have you tried to do a save as is Photoshop and select save as sRGB?

[Breezy]

Lonnie, No I haven't tried that. I did process the images from the rgb ones. I will have the lab check them before printing again. UGGHH I just thought it was something to do with Lightroom. Guess that is what I get for thinking lol.
Thanks for the help Lonnie.

In PS, choose CONVERT to sRGB. Not ASSIGN...

or in Lightroom, Export to JPG and choose sRGB as the output colorspace.

If you just want to an images to sRGB, just use the convert profile under edited menu option, that should do it.

Thanks guys that is what I was doing but that is where the colors went crazy. The couple actually looked dead they had no color in SRGB.
I am off to have them printed again shall see what they look like this time.
Thanks again
