Photoshop color settings problem

I have an unusual problem with the color settings in Photoshop at the moment and need help setting/calibration of colors in Photoshop.  Attached are 2 images of the question.  Basically, the question is that the recorded files look quite different from what they were when doing in Photoshop.  However, if I take this picture in Photoshop, it looks right again, so the question is obviously inside Photoshop.

Image2.jpgImage1.jpg

On the top is a screenshot of splitting the saved file as displayed in a web browser, the default value (half of the image on the left), then a screenshot of the same image as it appears in Photoshop (right half).  The image on the bottom is the same screenshot of the two visible at the same time with the same screen cap program.  As mentioned earlier, if I take the cap of the display of the image in the web browser, and then open in Photoshop, it corresponds to the original very well.  I have messed around with (shift + ctrl + K) color settings, but could not do anything remotely as I see outside of Photoshop.  Anyone has any ideas on what I need to tweak to make the color/contrast/saturation/whatever Photoshop look more like what we see in the web browser while I'm working on a project?

I am currently using Photoshop CS4 with the latest updates.  Thanks for any help!

It looks like your browser and Photoshop are displaying the same image in different color spaces.

You should know in what color space the image is displayed in each program.

You don't say anything about your browser, so I can't say but in Photoshop, the color of an image space is obtained in the following order of priority:
1. from choice in the menu Format to test when the test colors is enabled.
2. when the test colors is disabled, the embedded profile.
3. when the test colors is off and when the image is without a color profile (unidentified) of the color selected in the color settings workspace.

This image shows how to check the color of the image profile.

What happens when you choose View > proof colors, then display > test format > Monitor RGB? Is the browser the image in Photoshop?

  • For Web site designs Photoshop color settings

    Hello

    Can someone explain the right way to set up photoshop documents so that the color of exported goods (jpg, etc.) is the same in web browsers?

    Also, it would be useful that the files Photoshop would look very narrow Color (while he was working on designs and models) to the final exported goods.

    Thank you!

    You will never get a complete agreement between browsers. Some are correctly (Firefox) color management, others to halfway (Safari, Chrome) and others not at all (IE, Edge). These, in no circumstances, will not show identically.

    Firefox is the browser fully managed alone, and it will perfectly match Photoshop. They reasonand all the other bad.

    In brief - convert your sRGB file, add the profile, actually. The rest is out of your hands (and when you think about it, not really your problem anyway).

  • Should what color settings I use in Photoshop?

    Capture.PNG


    These parameters ^ are good? Can I use Adobe 1998 or Profile (↓) default monitor


    Capture2.PNG


    Also should what color settings I set in the color management window. Right now the default profile is set to Adobe RGB 1998 (↓).


    Capture3.PNG


    Now, workspace is set to Adobe RGB 1998. I usually joined Adobe 1998 in most of the Images. I know the difference between famous color profiles (Adobe 1998, sRGB, Prophoto..)

    When I use view-Proof Setup - Monitor RGB colors seem more vivid (and natural).


    Also the images when opened in Adobe Ps seems different when displayed in the default photo viewer windows (and wallpaper)... But Adobe RGB 1998 default in Windows Color Management. Thus, the Ps and photo viewer (or wallpaper) image should look even. But it's not. Why?


    Adobe Photoshop is a software managed on the basis of the color... This means that the settings in Windows Color Management has no effect on the display how Photoshop colors?


    I've read dozens of Web pages about all this. Some of them told to change workspace - RGB to Adobe RGB 1998.


    Also every monitor is different then how the uniformity of color is maintained around the world? Not all hardware users calibrate their display.

    I know there are a lot of questions above. I'm confused. Searching for this for months.


    Thank you for giving your time to answer these questions.

    Workspace must be a standard space - sRGB, Adobe RGB, ProPhoto. In fact, it is not all that matters, because the embedded document profile always overwrites. In other words, as long as you have defined strategies to "Preserve embedded profiles", which is the only sensitive parameter. You have it, so that's fine.

    Do not use the monitor here profile! The color settings dialog box is to manage document profiles. The monitor profile is a different animal in all, serve a different purpose.

    The monitor profile is implemented at the level of the system - the calibrator will do that for you BTW - and will be used by color management applications without any intervention from the user. The profile appears in the color management > devices dialog. This is your last screenshot. The monitor profile must be marked 'default'.

    You need both of these profiles, monitor and document, for a managed path color display. The source profile is converted on the fly, by application, on the monitor profile. These converted values are sent to the screen. In this way the display is exactly corrected for, much more precise than what can be achieved simply by adjusting the monitor.

    It seems that you are using a canned profile, supplied with the monitor. Just mark it by default and that's all. Note that you you get a much better result with the help of a Stallion! Manufacturer profiles, despite assertions to the contrary, are generic and not designed specifically for your device. They are also surprisingly often defective/broken. Come if you encounter specific problems.

  • Should what color settings I choose for photoshop ProPhoto RGB, Adobe RGB 1998 or other?

    Please tell me what color settings should I use to apply on Photoshop and Lightroom. ProPhoto RGB, Adobe 1998 or another? Thank you.

    Nice day!

    If you work mainly for printing AdobeRGB seems a good choice, if you work primarily for the web, I would recommend to use sRGB.

  • What is the best 'color settings' for documents 4 colors Photoshop 9.0 for eventual printing on a printer? Thanx

    What is the best 'color settings' for documents 4 colors Photoshop 9.0 for eventual printing on a printer? Thank you, Scott

    The 'best' color settings are profile and end points specified by your lithographer. You can see that the work will be produced in CMYK mode, it can specify a RGB. (One of the reasons why it might ask for an RGB file and perform the conversion itself is so that it can prevent its competitors its CMYK settings that apply to the GCR, generation of black [ramp] and limit of total ink regarding specific paper.) Its recommendation may also vary depending on your choice of paper and the surface of the paper. If the choice of the particular lithographer cannot be done at this time, it is generally acceptable to provide the Adobe RGB file with the default settings of Photoshop.

  • I've updated to the latest version and now all my color settings are confusing. Open old files shows wrong colors. What can I do?

    Open the old files poster colors wrong unless I switch to "Monitor RGB" and turn on "Proof colors" in the view menu.

    Exporting jpg files gives me files that look different in each browser. Many of my images take on a lighter yellow cast. I know there are issues with the help of profile being different between browsers, but I've never had this problem before. All my different when PSD files I open them and export differently than before.

    Even my Color picker displays more pure gray, but gray yellow in them. With the evidence mentioned above, color settings, I select in the picker look nothing like what is actually painted on the canvas. I see gray on the canvas but yellow gray in the color picker.

    I remember spending a lot of time setting up my color settings in my previous version of Photoshop. They seem to not have been migrated to my new version, and I don't know how to recover or configure again.

    The upgrade should not create these fundamental differences with my settings and workflows. I work almost exclusively with screen images and websites and I have no idea how to proceed. I can still function normally with my old files and the product is basically useless for me as it behaves now.

    I'm desperate. What can I do?

    Robinson-Adobe says:

    That what is disable display color management chain - IOW take your profile instructor out of the loop. Which means you have a bad monitor profile, probably a sent through Windows Update.

    The real solution is to use a standard to make a new profile, but if you do not have one, use sRGB IEC61966 - 2.1 for now. Go to control panel > color management:

    Be sure to restart Photoshop to load the new profile at startup.

    Color settings won't leave anything here, and don't change anything. Color settings is to manage document profiles - but the issue here is the profile of the monitor , which is something different treated elsewhere.

  • Colors do not match from Lightroom (checked ICC, cab version and color settings)

    Greetings,

    I have a picture of the water in the rocks in Lightroom CC 2015. Do you have all my settings and it looks the way I want it. He sent to Photoshop CC 2015 and I get this strange halo neon-aqua in the water.

    The image has a DNG from a Panorama in Lightroom, so I tried the following:

    1. check that the treatment of color Aqua/Blue in Lightroom. Restore all files source panorama 0 and rebuilt. Same question.

    2. export file looking for good Lightroom as TIFF, then open it directly from Lightroom. Same question.

    3. open the TIFF file in other applications (e.g., Pixelmator, Raw Therapee). Image looks exactly as it does in Lightroom, so question should be in Photoshop.

    4. change the settings in the color settings in Photoshop. Tried of perceptual and Relative. Have all the options under "Color management policies" as "Preserve" and all options are checked. All combinations led to the same question.

    5 enabled setting in Camera Raw by bridge and resynched setting for the CC apps. Same question.

    6a changed to write the settings Lightroom develop in format JPG, TIFF, PSD files (I always checked even when XMP). Same question.

    7. calibrate the monitor with X - Rite ColorMunki Photo. Same question.

    8 calibrate the monitor with a gain of X-Rite ColorMunki Photo, but this time with the ICC v2 profile. Same question.

    9. turned on GPU (MacBook Pro retina end 2013). Same question.

    10. tried to re-assiging and profile ProPhoto RGB conversion. Same question.

    11. I usually export to Photoshop as 16 bit, ZIP, 300 dpi, ProPhoto RGB TIFF. Tried to export to Photoshop as PSD. Same question.

    12 tried exporting as sRGB and AdobeRGB. Who worked in the sense that the halos of aqua has disappeared, but the image is duller than in Lightroom (although a so slightly).

    In view of the fact that the image is displayed as expected in all applications, but Photoshop (well, Illustrator as well, but it converts the subtle colors of the water in 8-bit, so I'm not sure that the problem is the same), I suspect I'm missing something in Photoshop. In addition, it seems to only affect how Photoshop interprets the images with ProPhoto RGB profiles. I don't remember having this problem with previous versions.

    All the foregoing is CC versions and is up to date. ACR is 9.2.

    Steps 1 through 9 were the ideas that I found elsewhere in the forums, but I'm out of ideas.

    A reflection as to how I can continue to use ProPhoto RGB, given that my entire workflow is based on that?

    Thank you very much

    Paul

    Screenshots would help, but from what you describe this must be your monitor profile. A problem with the profile itself, or an application is not loading the correct profile.

    It does not matter what color space you export from Lightroom. These applications are the two color managed and will display the file correctly regardless of the color space. They must be synchronized (the exception is the threshold effect that can happen from Adobe RGB to sRGB, but you won't see that on a range wide-screen.) Any cutting of ProPhoto was moot because you don't see, in any case, on any monitor).

    So when you say you see a difference between a file exported as ProPhoto and exported as Adobe RGB or sRGB, it's a smoking gun. Something wrong here, and the main suspect is still the monitor profile.

    The two find themselves in the same monitor profile, but the source profiles are different. In Lightroom, it is linear (gamma 1.0) ProPhoto, in Photoshop gamma 1.8 ProPhoto, Adobe RGB or sRGB. Conversions are so different. This is why a bad profile may appear differently in different scenarios.

    Basic troubleshooting is to replace the monitor with a known good profile. That would be the sRGB or Adobe RGB, depending on whether your monitor is a standard or wide range. Then see if there is still a difference. Be sure to restart both applications when done - they load the profile screen on startup.

  • Management of the print color settings

    I've never had no problem printing from Photoshop on my Macbook Air, until I think I've accidentally pressed some keys on my keyboard which was obviously shortcuts.

    Now, whenever I try to print - the first image attached appears, as it usually happens with normal printing pre box, where you can choose the paper size, layout, color etc etc.


    I visited the print settings dialog box and everything seemed normal.

    I also went in Edition > settings of colors... but it was a bit out of my League that I don't know anything about the print & color management settings.


    If this is useful - I've also attached a screenshot of my current color settings.


    Can someone help me pleaseee - it drives me crazy!


    Thanks in advance!

    It is the normal print Photoshop dialog box. This must always come first. Access you the settings of the printer driver by clicking 'Print Settings '. It is also quite normal.

    Do not take into account the color settings dialog box, it is not relevant here.

    BTW, having the printer manage color is a somewhat safe setting, but you can usually get better results by letting Photoshop manage color and make the conversion to the desired printing profile. Then you will need to choose the right profile manually, and also make sure that the printer driver is set to the correct paper type. And the printer to support.

    In addition, the document profile is listed as "Display". This is the profile of Mac OS X will assign to the screenshots, but it is generally not a good idea to use the display as a document profile profile (both are different things and have different goals). Best to convert it to a standard such as sRGB profile if you intend to use the file to something else.

  • Photoshop colors are more saturated than the recorded files

    I use Photoshop CC 2015 free trial on Windows 10.  I edit my pictures, how I wish, but when I save and view them without photoshop, the colors have changed: they are less saturated and more yellow.  When I bring them in photoshop on that color back how I initially edited.  This was never a problem for me before - I usually use Photoshop 7.0, but even if it does not work at the moment.  Is this a problem with how I save my files? Or a problem with the Windows Photo Viewer?

    Hello

    Well it is because of the difference in the color profile.

    You need to calibrate your machine.

    Also, here's how you can check.

    Open PS

    Click on Edit - > color settings

    Your other software can have the sRGB profile and photoshop can have ProPhotoRGB.

    You can try changing the color profile and you will see the difference

  • 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.

  • Color settings is not Lightroom color settings

    How are you guys! I'm an amateur photographer and use Lightroom and Photoshop. 99% of my work is done in Lightroom, so I really only use Photoshop rarely when I need to do certain things.

    It seems that every since ch & LR CC came out, I cannot get my color profiles to match. I know that LR uses an embedded color profile that is ProPhoto RGB, so I put the color profile accordingly in the PS, but when I open an image in LR and PS, the colors do not match. I've attached a screenshot of the same image open in both programs where we see the difference in color. Does anyone know how can I fix? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    This is most likely a bad display profile. This can affect different applications in different ways.

    Color of managed applications must always show absolutely identical - that's the whole point of the management of the colors in the first place. There is no particular reason PS and Lightroom color settings must match. They should display properly regardless of the color space of the file.

    The right way to handle this is to use a standard to make a new profile to display. If you do not, use sRGB IEC61966 - 2.1 for the moment, it is usually close enough for most people.

    Replace your current profile in Windows Color Management. Be sure to restart both applications when done - they need to load the new profile at the start of the application:

  • Neophyte color management problems

    Neophyte color management problem:

    Image rendered PS colors do not match monitor or images rendered with other applications.

    Recall facts: using MacBook Pro retina with NVIDIA GeForce GT M 750 (calibrated in sRGB with ColorMunki Display software), OSX 10.95, PS CS5 and new external NEC PA272 (material calibrated to native with calibrator Spectraview II & NEC gamut) connected with the mini-displayport cable. Although slightly different due to different Mac and NEC display gammuts, a sample JPEG on Mac seems somewhat near NEC as desktop BG on respective monitors images and seen with the OSX Preview app on a monitor. AND the same image in PS when the image PS window is MOVED to NEC, is STILL, UNTIL the mouse is released. Then the image in the PS on NEC image window moves with a glance off the coast of colors. I am aware that the Mac display is sRGB and the NEC a range wide screen, and that this image of the example is a JPEG to sRGB, but I wanted an image that would be displayed on two monitors, with different applications, including the Psalm but it's the same thing when the main PSD used to create the JPEG format is loaded in PS then MOVED over to the NEC. Tried to play with management PS colors and corresponding attempt to different

    Profiles, but no luck. Tried the General searches on Google, but I'm lost. Any suggestions where to start to fix this problem? Thank you!

    The standard behavior in a multi-screen configuration is that Photoshop uses other operating system display profile offers upward so that the display - up to what the image window crosses the line to halfway between them. Then he goes to use the other profile.

    The shift-on-drop thing indicates a video card problem. That's how OpenGL works in Photoshop, when you drag an OpenGL image is temporarily suspended, and then snaps back on when you file.

    So I would try to disable the GPU in the PS preferences or set it to the basic mode. This shifts all display color to the CPU. Then wait for the next update of video driver from Apple.

  • Windows color settings?

    Maybe it's a little off topic but curious about all this who-if Windows 7 color settings (W7) must be changed or modified to ensure the output of consistent color from Photoshop (PS)?  I have configured PS regarding the color, I was wondering if there is something in W7 to change...

    Thank you

    Leave everything in Windows with default settings. There is no need to change anything, except in special circumstances, for example, if you have a monitor corrupt profile.

    Color management is not performed by the operating system. It is strictly made the application (if it is color everything)-all windows did was to make available for the application to use profiles.

  • CS6 and ACR color settings

    Ok... I did some internet research fully three times and I can't understand it. I'll give you as much information as I can think of from the outset. I know it has to do with color management, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

    • Color space in ACR is sRGB CEI6 1966 - 2.1, 8-bit

    • Evidence are attributed to the disabled (off) colors.
    • Color in CS6 settings are:

    Here is the comparison of the ACR and CS6:

    What I am doing wrong? If my color settings are the same between ACR and CS6 (as shown above), shouldn't ' images be the same in ACR and photoshop?

    Let the bashing begin...

    They should indeed. This is a profile of broken screen, affecting the two differently.

    Recalibrate and make sure your product standard v2, focused on the matrix of profiles (if you do not have these options, it does). V4 profiles and LUT can be problematic in some cases. If you do not have a calibrator, use sRGB IEC61966 - 2.1 for now. Restart Photoshop when finished:

    BTW, the setting of the device to the color space is questionable. This not apply in-camera processed JPEGs, raw files.
