My color settings are a mess! Help!
I’ve got PS CS and I just got a new digital camera (Canon 10D).
I’ve been reading about color management with CS and I think I’m using a pretty standard setup. My working space is "AdobeRGB" and for Color Management policies I’m using "Preserve Embedded Profiles".
Seems good. I take a picture with the camera, looks great on the camera. Load it to my hard drive, look at it (jpg) using windows explorer and it still looks great.
I open the file in Photoshop, and it looks like crap. All color has been washed out by a strong sepia tone. Very bad color.
The only way I can get PS CS to show good color with my images is to use the following for my working space:
Monitor RGB-Nec Multisync LCD
This then automaticly turns off RGB Color Management policies.
So with my Monitor RGB working space, I can even VIEW-PROOF COLORS and it still looks good.
If I open the image using the AdobeRGB working space (looks bad) and I proof colors to Monitor RGB then the image looks great.
What am I missing??? What am I doing wrong?
Any insight would be helpful!
