If you click on View | Proof Setup | Windows RGB does that fix the color you see in PS? If not, what if you click on Monitor RGB? (I suspect the latter, but try it and see)


It looks good if I select Monitor RGB. But then Proof Color turns on automatically. Should I leave it at that?


That's the way I have to run mine. Sounds like you and I have the same problem. I don't know how or when my photoshop cs got into this mode. But the colors are wrong (don't match my prints, don't match what I upload to my website, nothing) UNLESS I set it Proof | Monitor RGB. Then the colors in PS match.

I think this might have happened around the time that I calibrated my monitor, but I'm really not sure.


I guess I'll leave it set like that.

Thanks

It really deals with what profile (icc) you are using in PS and what Windows is using...If you want Windows Picture and Fax viewer to appear the same as PS then set PS to your calibrated monitor profile or if you use an uncalibrated monitor set Windows to the Profile you use in PS.

[This is a post I made on another digital cam site, that helped a few peeps]

Do you calibrate your monitor?

I found that when I calibrated my monitor that to get Window Picture/Fax viewer to look the same as (I use Digital Image Pro) that after setting the Color Profile in DIP and the Color Profile was loaded at start-up, I still had to set the Color Management for my display (monitor) to the same Color Profile to get Colors correct across all programs (editing or otherwise).

If you right click an empty area on the desktop and choose properties
Click settings tab
Click Advanced button
Click on Color Management tab
The Profile that is set as default should be the same Color Profile (ICC I beleive they call them) that is set in Photoshop or Vice Versa.

Setting this to my calibrated monitor profile fixed color differences across all the different editors/tools that I use.

I just had a play with one of my photos

this is windows viewer on left, net middle, photoshop right

photoshop view set to monitor rgb

same desktop with photoshop view set to Macintosh rgb

the blues look differnet

this is the only way I could get the photos to look different
photo shop and monitor are both set to "sRGB IEC61966-2.1"

Along the same lines, my PS colors are much more vibrant vs. online (especially here). Does anyone else have that problem? Is that also an sRGB conversion issue?


Maybe you can post side by side screenshot the way I have it.


?! I have no idea how to do that on a Mac. Anyone?
