I shot an image with a Canon 1Ds 11Mp camera in RAW mode and processed for color correction and levels in Capture One and exported to TIF. I opened the TIF in PSE 2.0 and made edits (fix hair, skin, etc.) but no changes to levels or color. After saving to JPEG and uploading to web, the color is less saturated and is more blueish when viewed in either IE6 or Mozilla Firefox.

– The monitor is an LCD calibrated via Pantone ColorVision Spider. – The calibrated profile is enabled via ColorVision.
– The other images in the same series directly exported to JPEG from Capture-One have the desired color balance.
– The TIF image as viewed in PSE has the correct color. The JPEG image viewed in PSE has the correct color.
– The unretouched JPEG exported from Capture-One has the right color in the browser. – I’ve tried Save as JPEG, Export to Web, All options in the Edit->Color Settings, and embedding/not embedding ICC profile (Adobe RGB) and none make any difference.

Compare:
JPEG from Capture One: <http://collin.org/gallery/album01/9EET7137_001> JPEG from PSE2.0: <http://collin.org/gallery/album01/9EET7137>

So far I’ve been doing this on WinXP, but haven’t moved the files over to my Mac OS X system to mess with yet.

Any explanations or cures?

Thanks,
Collin

Did you use the Ignore EXIF plug-in?

You might want to work in the sRGB colorspace, if you’re planning on using your images on the web. Browsers are not color managed and will not see all the "richness" of color of an AdobeRGB image. The colors will be interpreted probably by the MonitorRGB space ( individual monitor ). The sRGB space is closer to that space . You might also want to turn color management off totally. Try both ways and see what works best for you.

i’m not familiar with the ignore EXIF plugin. is it included or a download. what does it do relative to this problem?

I’m aware of the SRGB colorspace issue but I’m not aware of any way to make PS Elements (not PS Full) work in a specific color space.

More tips appreciated.

Thanks, Collin

Ignore EXIF must be downloaded from Adobe. In Elements full color management gives you adobe RGB and limited color management is sRGB. Edit>color settings

Collin, it’s a free plug-in available on the Adobe website. I’m not sure exactly what it does, but it’s been a cure for some color problems among forum participants.
