Photoshop CC: When I save an image of good quality as jpg tiff, it looks dark and grungy.  The same thing when I save it in png.  I want to send email in a jpg format because tiff is unacceptable for this instance.  Help!

The default value in "external edit" preferences of Lightroom is ProPhoto. This embedded profile always overwrites what you as working space in Photoshop.

This is a very common cause of confusion, and personally I think that the default setting in Lightroom is a bad idea. Those who need ProPhoto will know how to define, but beginners always get in trouble over this. If you can change that.

This should not be a problem for printing, however, only for viewing in the managed applications without colors (which is basically nothing outside of Lightroom and Photoshop).

When printing, the value "Photoshop manages color" in the print dialog box. Then choose the right printing profile for the document you are using. Don't forget to disable the printer color management in the printer driver, in order to avoid the double profiling. You will get a warning to that effect.

Also choose the type of appropriate support in the driver of the printer while you are there. This controls the total amount of ink.
