Color is now wacked after opening a RAW image

I just recently opned a RAW image and did some work on it and didn't notice any color issues. I later opened another file that I was working on earlier today (a website) and noticed my colors have changed. Bright orange is now a dull peach color etc. I've seen this before but I can't remember how to fix the problem. I have tried different color settings, sRGB, 1966, 1998 but nothing seems to work. Please help as I have a tight deadline on the site and there is no way I can hand this off to the coders.
I've attached a png file of what the colour is supposed to look like and a jpeg of what it looks like now.
Ok I just checked the attachments and the color looks correct on both. I know it's not the monitor as other programs like InDesgn display the color correctly. This is weird.

That is not your monitor profile.
to calibrate your monitor you really need a hardware calibrator they cost anywhere from $100 to $200
You can use Apples eyeball calibrator in system prefs > monitors but LCDs really need to be calibrated with something like the X-rite EyeOne 2

How do I open a raw image with the Photoshop raw plug in as opposed to the Bridge raw plug-in.

I read in a book on adobe raw that it is often useful to open an image at the same time with the adobe camera raw bridge plug in and the Photoshop camera raw plug in.
I can open a raw image in photoshop but I suspect I am not actually getting access to the camera raw plug in as none of the controls present in the bridge raw plug seem to be available from within Photoshop.
Of course I can access bridge and the bridge raw plug in by opening bridge from within Photoshop but this is not what I want to do. I would like to open the image using the photoshop raw plug in not the bridge plug in.
Clueless . . . and confused.

Thanks for the discussion. It is interesting. Let me clarify a bit regarding my issue.
I am using Mountain Lion OSX on a mac, of course, and CS6. I have been using Aperture, a piece of Apple Software similar to Light Room to organize my images, opening them from Aperture in Photoshop to edit them, as I am both familiar with Photoshop and like the way it does things better than Aperture. I recently started using CS6 and working with Adobe Camera raw 7, which I think is the version that comes with CS6. All the info I can get from the web site, including a very nice tutorial from Adobe on camera raw, simply tells me to open it from Bridge. When I do this, I get a nice set of sliders and other adjustments specifically associated with Adobe Camera Raw and the camera I am using.
I can open a file in Photoshop using the method SkillRooster suggests and, sure enough, it opens it with the camera raw plug-in (if I simply open the image by double clicking on it it opens in photoshop, no plug-in). If I then go to bridge and open it from there, I don't get a second instance of Camera raw, it simply points me at the instance opened through Photoshop.
However, when I open a raw image in Photoshop from Aperture (raw images open with no problem) I simply get the Photoshop interface, not the camera raw plug-in, the same as if I had double clicked on the image to open it from outside of Aperture. I am trying to figure out if there is some way to open an image from Aperture in Photoshop so that it opens in the camera raw plug-in. One possibility I could imagene is to open it in Photoshop and from there open it in the plug-in. The only thing I see regarding this in Photoshop is a menu item that lets me close the image and open Bridge, which doesn't help me with my Aperture issue. I could decide to switch to bridge, but with the thousands of images I now have in Aperture, this would be quite a bit of work. I may just have to work with both going forward.
The root of my original question comes from something I recently read in a book by Bruce Fraser on Camera Raw which is excellent, but it focues on CS 5.5 as he died before being able to update it. In that book he describes a trick he uses where he opens the raw image in a plug-in in Bridge and then opens it a second time using a plug-in in Photoshop. This give him a chance to compare adjustments between the two open images. As I mentioned above, when I try to do this by starting with Photoshop and then going to Bridge, it points me at the same instance. I can't open it in Bridge and then Photoshop since once it is open in Bridge, it won't let me into Photoshop without closing the image in Bridge. I was thinking there might be something in Fraser's method that would help me with my Aperture issue, but can't reproduce what he describes.
Perhaps this was possible in CS5.5 but no longer in CS6.
Another work around I can imagine is to do all my raw editing from Bridge and then save the file as a DNG file in Aperture. I suspect that after that, I am stuck with doing any more raw editing using the Aperture camera raw funcions, which are a bit lacking compared with Adobe Camera Raw.
Hope I am being clear here about my dilemma. Any help would be welcomed.

Opening camera RAW images in CS2... It won't do it!

I'm trying to open RAW images in CS2. When I try to do it, an error box pops up saying that it's an unknown file type(.nef). I've even tried using the software that my camera came with, but that won't let me either.
Also, the image RAW dialog box doesn't even come up when I try to open a raw image... Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Ok, I figured it out. I had to get a dng converter that was up to date.
I'm able to convert them to a negative now so I can upload them to P.S.
Thanks for your advice!

I just upgraded to a 3ti from a rebel xt. When I try to open my RAW images in photoshop elements 5.

I just upgraded to a 3ti from a rebel xt. When I try to open my RAW images in photoshop elements 5.0 get an error message. I installed the camera raw update 4.2 but that didn't work. Any suggestions.

Hi,
Elements version 5 was made obsolete by Elements 6 back in 2007. The T3i was only released 2-3 years ago. Adobe was up to Elements version 9 or 10 by then. Every camera has its own particular camera raw software, and Adobe has to write an update for the software to work with each new camera's RAW files. And Adobe stops updating the old versions to work with new cameras when the next version of Elements/Lightroom come out.
I had to buy Lightroom 4 only 6 months after I had bought Lightroom 3 when I bought a new camera. The older version would not, and never will, work with the RAW files from my 6D.
You could, I believe, use DPP to convert the RAW files before exporting them into Elements 5, but personally I would just take this as a cue that it is time to get Elements 11. Or Lightroom 5. I personally prefer Lightroom.

If in photoshop cs3 you go to Help>About Plug-In and click on the words Camera Raw, what version does it say?
Which camera are the camera raw files from?
After you downloaded the Camera_Raw_4_6.zip, you unzipped (extracted) the file and then copied the Camera Raw.8bi to
Program Files x86\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats (windows 8 64 bit)
or

Cannot open camera RAW images from Sony DSC-RX100M3 camera. Working on a Mac with Photoshop CS5 and Camera Raw 6.7?

Bruce,
When I made the transition to digital some 8 years ago, I had tremendous help from a number of well documented websites, among which:
http://www.luminous-landscape.com
I think a lot of stuff there to get you seriously going. Another one is:
http://www.computer-darkroom.com
I sold all my film based stuff, except a Nikon F3 and a handful of lenses and a Paterson developing tank.
The Nikon suspiciously smells like foam mirror damping strips chemically decaying.
I sold my enlarger over the internet. The word "enlarger" caused me to be on SpamCops blacklist for a while.
I'm in this since the seventies, and I think you'll be as amazed as I was at the possibilities and control you have. And no more bags with $300 worth of film that's consumed in one shoot.
Jump in both feet! you won't be sorry. And these forums are the best help you can get.
Good luck,

How to open multiple RAW images in Elements 7

With Elements 5 I can open any number of RAW images and process each one separately, one at a time, applying corrections to each image individually in the RAW dialogue, clicking Open Image, repeat. When done each image is in the work space, allowing me to work further, crop, fix, Save as JPEG, CLOSE, etc.
With Elements 7 the capability to process multiple RAW images in the workspace seems to have degraded. I must process one RAW image at a time, or open many RAW images, Select All and have the correction(s) I apply to the first RAW image apply to all the RAW images. The first alternative is very time consuming while the second alternative is not acceptable.
Any help appreciated in how to regain the function I had with Elements 5.

If I select more than one image in the
left pain, either individually or by
Select All, Elements 7 dutifully opens
the RAW images selected in the
workspace.
The rub is that Elements 7 then applies
the RAW adjustments from the RAW image
dialogue (e.g., Brightness, Contrast,
Clarity) for the first RAW image to all
the RAW images
before placing them in the workspace for
further editing.
Elements 5 provides a RAW image dialogue
for each RAW image individually, one at
a time, when I open them en masse. As
near as I can tell, Elements 7 does not,
forcing the user
to either open each RAW image
individually or presume that the RAW
adjustments made to one image should
apply to all the others before opening
them in the workspace for further
editing.
This presumption will generally be a bad
presumption, forcing the user to the
one-at-a-time option, which is very,
very slow.
Thank you again,
Paul M.

How to open a raw image with two different exposures?

Hello,
I am trying to open a raw image file in Elements with two different exposures so that I can use an adjustment layer to blend the exposures. For the life of me, I cannot figure this out, and the online help is completely useless. I have read everything in the online help about working with layers and it does not mention a single thing about this process. I know it can be done because I have done it before with a previous version of Elements, but I remember it being a very awkward experience. Can anyone point me to a page with this technique, or share the secret? Thanks. If anyone from Adobe is watching this forum, please try to make this product easier to use, more intuitive, and less reliant on subtleties, and by all means, PLEASE improve the documentation as it is practically empty of any useful information.
Thanks,
Shan

I tried that. When I open one image and set the exposure, then go to open the second image, nothing happens. I then saved one image as a psd file, then it would let me open the raw file a second time. When I had both open on the same screen and dragged the layer from one into another image, the layer size ended up being different than the other file. It was shifted down and to the left. I need these images to be pixel locked, and the user experience I went through did not allow me to do this.
I also do not see a way to copy/paste layers between files.

After editing a RAW image in PE13 I can't get it back into my iPhoto library. If edited in iPhoto first and sent to PE13 for adjustments, it can be sent back to iPhoto library. Ideas?

After editing a RAW image in PE13 I can't get it back into my iPhoto library. If edited first in iPhoto, and sent to PE13 for adjustments,

Thanks for answering my question. I always have had RAW checked to an external editor which is PE13 on my Preferences panel in iPhoto.
I probably didn't make myself clear. When I send an ORIGINAL RAW untouched, unedited image to PE13 and do the editing and the
adjustments- (it looks great) and then try and SAVE it and forward it to my iPhoto library, it will not be sent. On the other hand if any editing
at all is first performed in iPhoto and then sent to PE13 for adjustments, and I SAVE it, it asks if I want to Replace this new edited image with
what already exists in my iPhoto library, I click REPLACE, the little wheel spins, I go to iPhoto and the new image is there. PE13 does
accept an original RAW image for editing because it will save it in PE13 in the RECENTLY EDITED column. Ideas? I need to keep my iPhoto
library intact. Ideas? Thanks.

Incorrect colors after importing a RAW image into LR

I shoot in RAW mode using Canon EOS 400D.
After importing RAW images into LR, EVERY image I shot gets oversaturated with green-yellow colors. If I open same image in C1 Pro colors look fine.
If I change shooting mode on my camera to JPG (using sRGB color space) and import image into LR, colors look same as on RAW image in C1 Pro. All settings in LR and C1 Pro are set to default.
My guess is that LR applies wrong (camera?) profile when it imports a RAW image. I don't think it's a difference in RAW converters, because the difference in colors is really huge.
In the Camera Calibration panel I see ACR 3.6 profile selected and all settings are set to 0. Using sliders I can correct colors on image, but I failed to make a generic preset that could be applied on all imported RAW images.
My monitor (Samsung 940BF) is setup to use manufacturer ICC profile. I tried to change it to sRGB or Adobe RGB, it doesn't help. I'm running Windows XP SP2.
Any thoughts on how to return colors back to normal?
Here are 2 examples of the same image converted by:
1. LR

2. C1 Pro

Morey,
there is no such options as "import settings into LR" you have to put the ACR-settings-file into the "~/Library/Adobe Lightroom/Develop Presets" folder (on a Mac). I think in the end its faster to just copy the numbers manually from ACR and save the preset from within LR.
No, I don't think that calibrating has anything to do with profiles, at least not from what I understand as a profile (like sRGB or ProPhoto profile). It is kind of changing the stored default calibration values for a given camera type (something which one of course could also call a profile). It is definitive not like doing any double profiling or so.
@Lee Jay,
on different forums you can find values for ACR camera calibration of different cameras, googling should reveal some. Problem is that the numbers for the calibration change with the lens and, more important, there seems to be a lot of leeway regarding the behaviour of individual cameras of the same model. I found a lot of numbers on the net which didn't work with my D70, in the end I had to calibrate it myself. But your experience might differ, so I would suggest that you just have a look at what google offers.
One last thing: You don't need to buy a PS version which is compatible with ACR 3.7 or 4.0. You can use the 30 day trial version of PS for this. Afterall you most probably only need to calibrate each camera once and I doubt that Adobe disapproves this use of a trial version as long as it helps to sell LR. ;-)
Bye,
Carsten

Just upgraded to 10.8.4 and now can't open canon raw files in photoshop cs5 with camera raw plug in 6.7

i've just upgraded to os 10.8.4 and now i can't open canon raw files in photoshop cs5 with camera raw plug in 6.7 which worked perfectly prior to the upgrade....anyone else encountered this issue?

Adobe's software is a mess in terms of the fact that it's sprayed all over the place and may not survive an OS upgrade. Try reinstalling Photoshop CS5.
