![]() ![]() However, just because something looks "the same as in camera" doesn't mean it looks better - ultimately, a raw editor will give you greater control over color and contrast than your camera's built-in settings will, resulting in greater scope to modify the final product. If you use raw editing software by the same manufacturer as your camera, you may be able to use the same color and contrast settings that are baked into your camera, ensuring a good result. Thus, the image will look different: brighter, darker, less or more contrasty, or individual colors emphasized or de-emphasized. It also won't necessarily honor the same contrast curve (or contrast setting) that you selected in-camera. When using third-party raw editors to generate an image from the same raw data, that third-party raw editor probably doesn't use exactly the same color profile that your camera manufacturer does. ![]() Even the "normal" contrast setting can vary between camera manufacturers, each trying to get their images to look the best. These color profiles have subtle differences between manufacturers, for example some of them emphasising skin tones or blue colors, and others taking a more "natural" approach vs wanting their own characteristic "look". Defective monitor profiles are very common on Windows, because OS updates will install bad profiles from monitor manufacturers. And if it displays different to Photoshop, you have a defective monitor profile. The raw image data is captured from the camera at a point before the contrast and color settings are applied.Įvery manufacturer's camera comes with embedded color profiles and contrast curves which dictate how colors and contrast will look when converting from the raw image data into a full color image, as is done when the camera generates its own JPEG image or the embedded JPEG inside a raw file. If you by 'Colour Managed version of Photo Viewer' mean the Windows Photo Viewer, which is hidden on Windows 10, yes it is color managed. I switched the B to monitor too and dragged some shapes again from A, and finally it had the right colour.The image in the preview comes from an embedded JPEG inside the raw file which was generated by the camera, while the image you see when you open the raw file is generated based on the raw data. Document A had RGB/8/Monitor but document B had RGB/8 only. If you prefer to work in the Adobe RGB (1998) color space in Photoshop, then just make sure you send your photo over to Photoshop in that color space by doing this: (1) Go to Lightroom’s Preferences dialog, click on the External Editing tab up top. ![]() So I realized this was the difference between the two PSDs. I must have changed something to get this, but I don't remember sorry for the lack of information, but this was several weeks of searching and trying. I often pressed that as I use hungarian keyboard, but it switches back to english from time to time, and on the "y" is swapped with "z". My photoshop used to change from RGB to CMYK by using CTRL+ Y on the header tab of the document, but now it changes to RGB/8 to RGB/8/Monitor. I checked almost everything, both documents had the same colour settings, I could not change anything in Edit > Assign Profile, both of them had the working sRGB IEC61966-2.1. There were already some shapes in PSD B that had exactly the same colour overlay as the dragged in shapes and the originals in PSD A as I copy pasted the layer style. ![]() I had 2 PSD files open with some work in it, and I dragged some layers from A to B to resize the work, but the colour of the shapes changed to darker and duller. To save a step in copying a layer to a new document, Cmd-click on the layer thumbnail to select the non-transparent pixels on the layer. The remedy is to use Copy Merged (Cmd-Shift-C) rather than Copy. This simple RGB color wheel shows the relationship between primary (red, green, blue) and secondary (cyan, magenta, yellow) colors. Option-click on the eyeball by that layer to "solo" it, and check your colors. If that is NOT the problem, then you have an adjustment layer or a blend mode (on the layer itself or one above) applied which isn't there when you move that one layer out of the layer stack into a new document. Be sure to use "Perceptual" or "Relative Colorimetric" as the method to avoid other undesirable color shifts. The solution in this case is Edit > Convert to Profile in the original. You can verify this in the original by using Edit > Assign Profile and selecting sRGB. When you force it into an sRGB document the colors are rendered differently. From the description, your source document may be using a non-sRGB color profile. ![]()
