STOP THE PRESSES! - I think it is LR.

I took a known great skin tone headshot.

I created an export sRGB Jpeg with Ligthroom
I exported another sRGB Jpeg with Photoshop.

I then opened both images on another computer with internet explored (non
ICC aware app).

The PS Jpeg is MUCH better and truer.
The LR Jpeg is darker and redder.

Please repeat this experiment to see it it holds true.

thanks,
Eric
