Color Management differences between bridge, ACR, & Photoshop

Hi - I had a problem with color management I can't wrap my head around which is similar to this famous thread: http://forums.Adobe.com/message/3235601#3235601

I hope with a bit more information, as much as I can get this figured out. The fundamental problem is that Bridge displays images significantly differently than ACR or Photoshop. The most common problem is the following:

With the external monitor as main display (and the laptop as a secondary monitor), I launch Bridge. Photos will be appear to be in the correct range for a while, but it desaturates them almost immediately as if switching lines. Open the image in ACR or Photoshop displays the correct color. See the below:

Bridge-ACR.JPG

(Note: on my screen wide gamut, there is no clipping on the ACR version - this is how it should look)

There are various permuations to this problem, according to which monitor I on when I launch Bridge, but the above is my general workflow.

Some information:

Lenovo ThinkPad T430s w / integrated graphics Intel HD4000

ASUS series ProArt PA246Q (wide range)

Photoshop CS6 (with 16-bit ProPhotoRGB as the standard workspace)

Datacolor Spyder4 calibrate two monitors

My settings:

I know there are a lot of variables, but everyone sees the obvious problems that could explain my problem?

Thank you!

For anyone who has followed this thread, just a heads up for future use. It is confirmed all previews in Bridge are actually in sRGB. It's a little surprising, but apparently true. More details on this subject.

    What is the difference between Bridge and Lightroom?  Should I have them both?

    Hi MyYawrood,

    If you plan to expand your files only camera raw, then no, you don't need both. Camera Raw, which bridge lance when you select a raw in Bridge file has the same characteristics as Lightroom.

    That's where the similarity ends, however. Bridge is a file browser. You can organize and view the files on your hard drives connected. Bridge knows nothing about files that are not connected. Bridge can preview more Adobe files, regardless of the type of file and is a 'bridge' between applications. It will show also the icons for other types of files created in any application. Lightroom creates a database of a few image formats and knows about them, even if the disk they are on is in offline mode. It cannot handle most types of file formats, however. Lightroom has a robust for print production and publication Center. Bridge doesn't. Lightroom also has Mobile of Lightroom to make some fundamental changes to the photos on your phone or tablet. Bridge doesn't.

    So if you need both depends on what you do on your computer. I absolutely use Bridge / Camera Raw/Photoshop and Lightroom/Lightroom Mobile.

  • What is the difference between CC Lightroom & Photoshop CC compared to Photoshop and why different cost?

    Hi all

    I am looking to buy photoshop for reasons of game design. I'm a little confused because when I'm on the Adobe website, it gives me package of photography which is around £8 for CC Lightroom & Photoshop CC, and then it gives me the opportunity to purchase photoshop for £17?

    I was wondering if someone could let me know on what the difference is.

    Cheers for the help in advance guys.

    There is no difference between the versions of Photoshop. Add the package of photography.

    When Adobe introduced the rental model, they charged about £49 per month for all of the Creative Suite (things Inc. as first, AfterEffects, InDesign, Flash, Dreamweaver...) and £19 for a single application like Photoshop. Then they produced the plan of photography at half this price - probably with the idea to win much more large volume of sales by targeting the photographers. Whatever the reason, yes the pricing individual app looks weird, but everything you need to know is that with the plan of photography you get Lightroom too (more Lightroom Mobile), but exactly the same Photoshop.

  • Anyone know what's the difference between Illustrator and Photoshop sketch to draw?

    Hi, I'm new to both apps and I am trying to determine if it would be worth having two apps on my tablet. Someone uses both, and if so, what situations do you use for?

    Hello

    The major distinction between the two is that draw is a vector drawing application and sketch is a bitmap/raster drawing app. As a result, the drawing tools are little different outcomes are.

    There are many people who use both apps on a regular basis; I hope that they will weigh-in on this post.

  • Through dynamic color management

    Hey guys.

    I know I don't know too much about the management of colors now, but reading a how-to article related to this Board who suggested that all the comps should be set to a linearized workflow 32 bits (or 16) with the workspace sRGB 2.1.

    So far, I found the colors to be more accurate than the default setting of AE and I love it. My problem is now a dynamic link with Premiere Pro.

    I'm working on a sequence sent to me for a VFX'ing. Using dynamic links facilitates the work between the 2 programs, but when I work with colors above management parameters, the resulting image in AE looks fine, but the image in first update is darker several notches.

    Is it possible for effective work through dynamic color management link between the 2 projects?

    Thank you very much.

    In fact, I advised you DO NOT linearize your workspace until you fully understand the linear workflow. Which, among other things, means that you should not workspace linearize in all EI projects. On the contrary, you have to understand when to linearize the and when not. This blogpost Stu Maschwitz, the link where I presented, contains many other links, including this one in the discussion on linear time to go.

    Your current issue focuses on the issue that neither PrPro or SOUL is manageable (aware color) application. It can be corrected in several ways:

    1 as Rick said, just disable linearize working space (it can ruin your correction of the current color as well).

    2. apply the Gamma Correction effect on your comp dynamically linked in the chronology of PrPro (which is not quite correct work around this problem, in fact).

    3. to not rebuild links dynamic before dialing which is in your linked dynamically comp now in another. In your linked comp dynamically updated go to the view menu and disable the use display color management. Apply on your layer demo and sRGB color profile converter, leaving entered a mode 'space project' by default output profile.

  • What is the difference between After Effects and Premiere Pro?

    (note; Cross posted in other forums there)

    Okay, that's the substance of my question, now for clarification and the reasons behind it.

    Imagine for a moment that there is a person who has heard of all these amazing products and wants to work with them to possibly change careers. Now imagine that person is a noob and has only a little creativity, a pinch of imagination and absolutely no experience whatsoever in what anyone who resembles a professional graphic arts, media, career, etc. with the exception of a few dabbling autour with paintings in oil, watercolor, pastel, acrylic and sometimes charcoal.

    Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on your persepctive I work on computers, these basics are covered. So now you understand my absolute lack of knowledge.

    I was check and finally purchased Production Premium thinking I am able to express something in Flash. The problem I have is (other than an obsolete computer) what is the real difference between the two programs, I asked? It seems some overlap in their functions. Sort of a different route to accomplish the same thing. I read the text of presentation on the Web site and the two sound very similar to my ears without instruction (eyes? alert mixed simile).

    If someone could kindly explain the reasons for using either of the two products and what they can do differently to me I would be very happy. I bought CS5.5 Production Premium and currently have loaded on my laptop before installing Windows 64-bit on the desktop (both at 32 bits at the moment) so I currently have the trial on the laptop. I understand the difference between Illustrator and photoshop, but these two are confounding. I also understand the differences between After Effects/Premier Pro 32-bit and 64-bit seems to be the spiffy Mercury playback engine. (a quick thank you to Adobe for versions 32 bit CS4 for these programs for the luddites such as I have, including!).

    I'm waiting for your wisdom.

    Premiere Pro is a video editing solution.

    After Effects is a video compositing solution.

    Could be a broken monitor profile. Switch display icc profile Adobe RGB or sRGB standard if you have a normal screen space, if you have a screen wide gamut. If this is useful, it is likely that a broken profile.

    In addition, the only way to make sure you see what looks like an impression (on your screen) is to use a unit of calibration as a Culor Munki or Spyder.

  • Between 5.5 and CS4 color management problems

    I'm faced with a problem of color management and would be very grateful if someone could help me with that.

    I'm working to create in inDesign CS4 (6.0.6) and using my usual color management settings. I set up at the bridge in my CS4 and then use in InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator. My settings are for jobs printed here in the United Kingdom, as follows:

    ---

    Workspaces

    RGB: Adobe RGB (1998)

    CMYK: Coated FOGRA39

    Color management policies

    RGB: Convert in the workspace

    CMYK: Convert in the workspace

    All three 'request when opening' checked

    ---

    Then I have a customer takes the file InDesign me, working there and returned to me to complete the development and execution of the high pdf - are for printing. It runs the latest InDesign CS5.5. I have him ordered to open InDesign and set his Edit > color... settings as follows without any open file is by default (am I do this bit correctly, it will work through all the files I send?):

    ---

    Workspaces

    RGB: Adobe RGB (1998)

    CMYK: Coated FOGRA39

    Color management policies

    RGB: Preserve embedded profiles

    CMYK: Preserve embedded profiles

    All three 'request when opening' checked.

    ---

    We did some testing and it doesn't work. It can open and work on the file ok and I see text changes she did without any problems.

    But when I analyze his record returned in detail, I can see that his record is now showing view > test format > Document CMYK - us Web Coated SWOP (v2)

    that suggests something coming to an end that applies US profile. I can change the configuration of evidence to work: Coated FOGRA39, but prefer the US profile never made his reappearance!

    My apologies if I'm doing a very basic error or errors here, but I usually have my color management just on my own system, so this is new territory for me. If anyone can help with what I should advise him to do to an end, I would be very grateful (she is about 300 miles north of England, so can't easily try the options on his MacBook Pro myself!)

    PS I also noticed that some items on the page have been modified when exporting .idml to 80% of transparency-enough to fool me for a while that the colors had changed over those too, when in fact I don't think that had anything to do with the issue of profile, probably just a bug between economy of process CS5.5?

    The easy way to get your colleague to use the settings that you want, is likely to create a .csf (color settings file) by pressing save button in the Edit > color... Settings dialog box, then having his press office in the same dialog box and selecting your .csf you sent.

  • Different colors of Bridg and Photoshop

    Hello!

    Something happened to the color

    months, so I don't know exactly when it happened. I have not changed anything
    the settings manually.

    I work at CS6 Bridge and Photoshop CS6 on PC.

    Anyone know how to solve?

  • What is the difference between Photoshop Elements 13 Photoshop 6 of Lightroom and Photoshop CC?

    What is the difference between Photoshop Elements, Photoshop Lightroom, Lightroom and Photoshop CC?  I just bought Photoshop Lightroom (6) and low and here is Photoshop doesn't do not part of the package, which costs another $70.  I feel ripped off the coast and now will have a moment same difficult figuring out that I should have bought the package. 

    Photoshop is the large capacity, editor of pixels that makes diapers and plug-ins; ideal for graphic designers, used by many photographers.

    Photoshop Elements is a more basic version of Photoshop; often be everything as photographers really need Photoshop.

    Lightroom is a Digital Asset Manager that lists your images and enjoys a good 'image' in her Editor. The catalogue allows the non-destructive editing of your images. Often does 95% of everything which has need of a photographer.

    "Photoshop Lightroom" is the official name of Lightroom;  a bad choice by Adobe that confuses people.

    For $10 / month, the "photographer" Lightroom + Photoshop bundle is difficult to beat. Subscribe to bundle licenses you the two programs, each to be downloaded and installed separately.

    Any 'CC' appended to the name is something marketing allowing the software to talk to some of the web servers of Adobe to activate features. All software are still installed on your hard drive; all your images are always stored on your hard drive.

  • The operation of the Photoshop color management

    Hey guys!

    I spent some time, research and try to understand the inner workings of the Photoshop color management and met much information unclear and contradictory, especially in what concerns the test format. I think I thought that some of them out, but (for ease of my sleep) I thought to ask direct questions, just to be sure. I guess it's more of a curiosity thing.

    I'm on a Mac OS X 10.8, Photoshop CS6, monitor calibrated from the standard range, working in sRGB for the web.

    (1) what I have gathered, to get a specific color as possible on my screen, all I have to do is the workspace sRGB or have images with embeded sRGB tag and including my calibrated monitor profile ICC loaded in OS X. In this way, all the images and colors in Photoshop will respect sRGB and my calibration profile will ensure that my monitor is in fact the correct sRGB color display (for as long as it's still capability). Fix?

    (2) I have met many 'practical advice' where people mention using the format of test > Monitor RGB as a way to monitor the colors for the web and then I saw people saying that's not true. As I understand it, the function of monitor RGB strips the tag embeded and does not take into account the workspace of the image, instead showing you the RGB values in the 'native' of the screen color space, which in my case would be sRGB-ish. Photoshop color management, but not the profile of calibration of displayaround a bit. Fix?

    (3) when the viewing a tag image sRGB, activating / disabling the test format: RGB Monitor on and outside has absolutely no effect. Am I right to assume that this is because the sRGB tag is getting 'off', but since the monitor is standard gamut, the native color space is always sRGB?

    What I find weird is when I change the display profile in OS X to my only calibrated for, for example, a generic RGB, activating / disabling the test format: Monitor RGB effect - changes in brightness of picture visibly. If my above hypothesis was correct, it shouldn't happen, right? Where my confusion.

    Thank you!

    Many people overcomplicate it. It's actually very simple.

    1 Photoshop converts on the fly from the document on the monitor profile profile. As long as the monitor profile is an accurate description of the screen, it shows correctly regardless of the original document profile. That's the whole point of the color management, translation of one color space to another aspect/goal of maintaining.

    There is no particular reason to work in sRGB just because your monitor is (or close). However, you will not see directly the colors in the file that are outside of the monitor range.

    2. waterproofing to Monitor RGB is a quick test to see how the image appears without any color at all management. I guess it could be useful in some cases, when you need consistency to accuracy. Other than that, it is completely useless, that it shows what it looks like on your system. And anyway, there is no reason today not to use fully color managed browsers.

    3. Waterproofing is an extra turn to the conversion mentioned above. The point is to limit the range to test the profile, so that you can see this cutting will do to the image. It will documents profile > profile proof > monitor profile. If the profile of evidence has a range equal to or greater than the monitor profile, you will see no difference.

    Important point to keep in mind: If the profile source and destination are the same, no conversion happens and color management is by definition disabled or disabled.

    The first part of the string of audit, document evidence, may be a "convert" or "assignment". Convert maintains appearance, while assign run numbers, but changes its appearance. It's the checkbox 'Keep the numbers' in the proof Setup dialog box.

  • What's up with the bridge color management?

    After obtaining a range wide screen (Eizo S2243W), it was a pleasure to be able to see the Adobe RGB colors that I knew were in the file, but previously could not be displayed. Although the Windows desktop and interface elements user sounds loud, I got used to that.

    ID, PS, AI, everything works perfectly. But I discovered that the bridge does not follow suit. The funny is that it shows the mute, standard version for 'gamut' - saturated not as one would expect with a range wide screen and non-functional color management (if this is the case). The only reasonable explanation for what I see is that the document profile is converted to sRGB. I can't reproduce otherwise.

    I'm no stranger to the color of help desk management, and according to my experience, the prime suspect in this case is still the monitor profile. So I've done several things to validate the profile. I recalibrated using the calibrator Eizo grouped with its EX1 (actually just a renamed Spyder3) sensor, and I recalibrated using color eyes Display Pro with another probe Spyder3. I also tried with Adobe RGB as the monitor profile just for troubleshooting.

    In all cases, I checked in the color settings PS that the profile has been actually used, and in any case, the effect of muting still shows in Bridge. Now, I am sure that PS/ID/HAVE rendering is indeed good. Suite color management is synchronized, using Adobe RGB as RGB working space.

    I have also purged caches of bridge in every way I can think and then reset the preferences of Bridge by ctrl-launch and control of the confirmation dialog box.

    The screenshots of the following two require a color managed browser and a range wide screen, since the difference is outside the sRGB gamut. The first used Adobe RGB as a monitor profile and a Adobe Integrated RGB, the second has the Eizo monitor profile assigned and integrated. They are similar, but the other should show exactly as I see it (click to view the display not set cache, the difference does not directly show in Firefox):

    test adobeRGB.jpg

    test monitor RGB.jpg

    Any ideas what is happening here?

    (Also published in the forum for color management)

    Sorry, that was a little short.

    Bridge poster of the images based on the pre-rendered JPEG files that it stores in its memory cache. It's thumbnails, larger and sometimes 100% previews previews. When creating these JPEG files, it uses made color Relative to the color space sRGB. However, it is usually * displays them correctly, based on the primary poster color profile.

    * Sometimes it gets bad, and you must minimize/maximize the window to retrieve.
