In Photoshop CS2, I have a colored jpeg picture I desaturated and then saved as a jpeg with highest quality (trying to give as much info as possible). When I view the picture with CS2 it has a very slight olive tint to it, but when I view the saved file with the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer it displays the image as an actual black and white picture with no olive tint to it. Cause of discrepancy?

Are you saving with a specific color profile? Did it have this 'very slight olive tint' while still in PS, after desaturation but before saving?

if i'm saving with a "color profile" i don't know it (i'm a newbie to PS, but if i open the file with PS and compare the difference is there. i save with the "save as" option and don't see a color profile option...
yes it does have the tint in PS after desat but not in the saved file.

So I was playing around and found a way to fix the tint discrepancy. If I change View/Proof Setup from "Working CMYK" to "Monitor RGB" it reflects the actual image after I save the image. So new question...If I were to print the picture (don't have a printer) which one would would more accurately depict the output? What effect does changing that option have on my image? What is that other option "Proof Colors" that I can toggle on and off?

Proofing doesn't affect the image -- just the way PS displays it. As you saw when your file did not have a tint when opened in another program. Proofing is just so you can see how the image will look when displayed under different formats.
The Proofing mode is set in 'Proof Setup', but is turned on or off with the 'Proof Colors' option.
Monitor RGB is likely the best option unless you have a specific need to display otherwise. Although it is useful to see how the Apple-people are going to see the image before submitting it to a challenge (and vice-versus if working on a Mac).
Sorry, but I don't know much about printing so can't help you there.

Hi there,
I have just been through the colour nightmare... You need to calibrate your monitor for a start. Use the Adobe Gamma that comes with photoshop. Once that is done you need to set working colours. If you capture in raw try Colour match for all you working. If saving for web use sRGB.
www.luminous-landscapes.com have a couple of interesting articles relating to this..... |
