Color Mgmt problem - changed behaviour CS3

My (two) monitors are calibrated using Monaco calibrator. This seemed to work fine - when I boot up you can see the monitor calibration get applied to each, they then look different from uncalibrated 'before'appearance but now nicely matched. PS CS3 is set to color manage and working space is sRGB etc. I could make an image in PS and save it to the web and it didn't change (and when viewed on non-color managed apps it still looked the same).
I am unaware of having changed anything but must have by accident. Now, when I save to web, the colours change quite markedly. I have read many people say this is because web apps are non-color managed etc etc, but I don't think this means it should behave like this.
My monitor IS calibrated, the calibration profile is applied by Windows on everything that is displayed. Not by the app. So assuming I save things as sRGB, shouldn't what I see in PS be the same as what I see on MY computer in any non-cm app? It was before.
I admit I don't have a good handle on CM, and despite reading help files etc for the umpteenth time I STILL don't understand what is happening in monitor proof compared with windows proof, so obviously I'm missing something important.
I really need someone to give me straightforward advice on how to set up my system again so that what I see when I edit in PS is what I see when I Save For Web on MY computer.

Thanks.

Here's a fix I so blatantly postd over on the Mac forum *hangs head in shame* yay for google...
anyways, here's the fix I have, but it only works so far... I'll get into what doesn't work in a separate post:
ok, try this out for size:
For you PC Vista users out there, here's what it comes down to, and how I made it work for me:
1.In VISTA, Control Panel/Color Management.
2.In "Devices" tab, remove your calibrated profile.
3.Click "Add..." and find the file: sRGB IEC6z966-2.1 (also called per it,s "file name: sRGB Color Space Profile.icm) It's important that both those name the same file as you can have created multiple sRGB IEC6z966-2.1 via Adobe gamma saving them with whatever profile name you wanted, etc.
4. Set it as default and make sure to have removed ALL other profiles other than that one. (it could default back to another for whatever reason).
5. Make sure to remove any calibration software from your start-up menu as it could mess everything up at this point. Check "start-up menu" steps at bottom of this post for those steps as well.
6. REBOOT!
***This is where you can test that your sRGB profile is good and that your "monitor RGB" soft proofing in PS works correctly. With now sRGB as your monitor profile, there should be no shift when using Soft proofing or any of the other tests asked to be performed. If there is still an issue, then this won't solve it, sorry.***
7. With "my calibration device, which happens to be the lowly Huey" I had to tell it to reset completely so that it would go back to it's "out of the box" state. So this step depends on what you need to do to get it "back to basics" so you can start your calibration from scratch.
***Now for those reading g ballards website, this is where he said to USE A CLEAN sRGB Profile TO START the calibration process and this is what *I* didn't "get" until today. Doing the above steps infact re-installs a CLEAN sRGB profile.***
8. Calibrate and profile with your device.
9. Everything should be right as rain. Your new monitor Profile should appear in the Color Management Window and you should be dancing on the tables :)
"start-up menu" steps for Vista
For those unaware of where to remove programs from start-up menu (for the Pantone Huey in my case, and I'm adding this as I'm posting this in multiple forums)
1. right click the start button/windows Icon, select OPEN.
2. Click Programs/Start-up, delete the shortcut to your calibration software. If it's not there, then it'll be in...
...1. right click the start button/windows icon, select Open ALL USERS
2. click Programs/Start-up, delete the shortcut to your calibration software.
Also, in either areas, be sure to remove Adobe Gamma, it will mess with things as well.
I hope this was comprehensive enough for ALL levels of PS users, not just those that already "get" it all.

    For the sake of clarity and to save people time, Todd is asking about the behaviour of the Patch tool when using it to repair the area next to the young lad's head.  Todd gets a blurred dark tone pretty much regardless of the options he uses.
    IMO that's what I would expect to happen because of the close proximity of the other image elements i.e. the lad's neck and the strong lines of his shirt.  I would not choose to use the Patch tool in this situation.  Content Aware Fill makes a better stab at it. 

  • Color management problems printing to Epson R2880 from CS3

    I recently purchased an Epson R2880 printer. I am having a lot of trouble getting good color when printing from Photoshop CS3. I am running OS 10.4 on a G4 Mac. I have a high-quality monitor and an EyeOne calibrator. I have spent a total of a few hours on the phone with tech support from the store where I bought the monitor and calibrator, and with Epson. To try and keep it simple, I am using all Epson products (ink, paper, their ICC profiles downloaded from their site). I have calibrated my monitor to brightness: 80, white point: 5000 K, Gamma 2.2.
    All that tech support has brought me to the point where prints I get on Epson Velvet Fine Art paper and almost where they match what I see on the monitor, though they still could use a touch more red. I've tried making a slight curves adjustment to the red channel but I still don't quite have it. But it's basically acceptable.
    So then I tried Epson Premium Presentation Matte paper. After a lengthy session with the Epson tech, we determined that I can get a print that's almost right by printing out of Preview and letting the printer manage colors. If I make a levels adjustment and brighten it a good bit, I get a very good print. But if I try printing on that paper from CS3 I get something that looks like a washed out black-and-white print with a hint of color in it. The Epson tech (a level 2 tech) told me to use the SPR 2880 Matte Paper-HW profile. Didn't help. At that point he said that he'd done all he could do and that for further assistance I needed to contact Adobe about "advanced settings in Photoshop." Of course, I'd prefer to print out of Photoshop because it gives more options in terms of placement and size of the print on the paper.
    So here are my questions:
    - Is this kind of thing par for the course, and will I eventually figure out a system that gives me good results all the time with any Epson paper I choose with a minimum of tinkering with levels and curves?
    - Or should I expect more from a printer that costs almost $1,000 and should I return it for, say, a Canon?
    - Is there information online about those "advanced settings" the Epson tech was referring to?
    - Or would I be advised to purchase a one-on-one phone consultation from Adobe Photoshop tech support to resolve these problems?
    Thanks,
    Helen

    Mike,
    Gee Ramón, I am guessing Mike did a search for Epson R2880/CS3 and noticed that a Mac user was having the same problem he was. If together, maybe Windows users and Mac users can come together and solve the problems of the Epson R2880, maybe we can set a good example for the Republicans and Democrats in Congress :-).
    Anyway, since I posted this problem, I have been working on it getting input from a variety of people. The person who finally helped me was Jim, a tech at ColorHQ.com. If you are in the US or Canada and have to buy a monitor and/or calibrator, definitely consider buying it from them, because they offer free tech support to their customers!
    So regarding yellowness, one thing that you definitely should look at is how you're calibrating your monitor. Despite some of the replies above that recommend calibrating to 6500K, ColorHQ, which specializes in solutions for the printing industry, told me that calibrating to 5000K is the print industry standard. (While 6500K is the standard for working on images for the web or for editing video.) 5000K will make the monitor look yellower, so see whether that's a better match to what you're printing. I have an Eizo monitor and am running their Color Navigator software. The nice thing about that is something called Color Navigator Agent that allows me to switch between calibration profiles on the fly if I'm doing some web work and then want to work on images for printing.
    Calibrating to 5000K was helpful, but not the solution in my case. The ultimate solution to my problem was more of a Mac issue, so I don't know if this will help you, but I'll post it in case anyone refers to this discussion in the future: there evidently IS an issue with ColorSync Utility in the Mac interfering with Photoshop managing colors in OS 10.4. In my case, ColorSync was causing the printer to preserve RGB values rather than use the ICC profile. The afore-mentioned Jim suggested that I go to Edit: Convert to Paper Profile, then pick the profile from the list. When printing, in the first Photoshop dialog box choose Color Handling: No color management. All the other settings in the next dialog box are the same as when you don't want the Epson to manage colors. So what you're doing is making it so the profile is built into the file, and neither Photoshop nor Epson are managing colors.
    The result to this was MUCH better. The soft proof is a little redder than the print, but I can adjust that by creating a curves adjustment layer and pulling down the red curve in the middle a little bit if I want to see what the print will look like. I can live with that.
    Also Jim pointed out that those papers that you mentioned are in fact a little warm in tone -- put Velvet Fine Art next to a piece of ordinary copy paper from say, Staples, and you'll see the difference. He suggested that if it's the matte look I want (it is) that Hahnemuhle makes a couple of papers that are brighter: Photo Rag Baryta and Bright White He also likes Ilford Gold Fiber silk, but that's a luster satin finish. You can download the Hahnemuhle profiles from Hahnemuhle's web site and compare them in "Soft Proof" mode in Photoshop with the Epson papers you mentioned and get an idea of the difference with your images. I haven't actually printed on them yet, but I see what he means.
    Good luck, and I'd be interested to know how it goes for you.

  • Problem changing gradient color in Numbers

    Has anyone else had a problem with being able to change the gradient colors for several rows and then not being able to change the gradient color? I set the gradient to go from snow to sky and then I decided to change some rows so the gradient went from snow to lavendar but the color won't change from sky. I can change snow to different colors; but I can't change the sky to any other color.
    If I open a new Numbers file, then I CAN change the gradient colors. I tried saving, closing, and re-opening my file but that doesn't seem to fix it. If I copy the cells and paste them into a new, empty file, I can change the gradient colors.
    Any ideas? I have a workaround so it isn't critical but I've got a lot of color coding to do and don't want to keep pasting my table into new files when this happens again.
    Thanks!

    What is the meaning of the small grey triangle at the top-right corner of the colored rectangle just above the Image menu in the Colrs pane?
    A very good question! From what I can tell, it indicates that the displayed color is taken from the 'device' color profile, or at least relates to that profile in some way. There doesn't seem to be any way to choose directly from the list of available profiles from the spectrum image palette shown in your example, but if you switch to the color sliders mode, you will see a small square icon next to the slider type popup, which is itself a popup list of profiles.
    One of those profiles will be a device profile (for instance "Device CMYK" if the CMYK sliders are displayed), & it seems that any color chosen when that (& only that?) profile is selected will display the grey triangle.
    From what I can tell, the profile chosen from this popup sometimes remains in effect, & sometimes not, when switching among the color choosing modes. For the spectrum mode, it appears that most of the spectrum is in the device profile's space ... or something like that.
    I really don't understand any of this very well!

  • PLEASE HELP - COLOR SHIFTING PROBLEM on output NTSC monitors

    http://www.smmlv.com/testproject/
    Above is a link to a layered photoshop file that has a USA map and over a dozen network overlays used in a section of our video. I animate each layer on sepeartely in the video and have noticed a major problem recently, the color of the art does not hold true to placement. I created the art originally in Illustrator and then converted the file to Photoshop at 640x480, 72dpi. This has always worked perfectly in the past to display and animated artwork in FCP.
    Right now, in FCP I am using the NTSC DV 3:2 frame size, and the compressor of DV/DVCPRO - NTSC. I have a JVC Profressional DV deck that hooks up through firewire and sends S-Video to my monitors. This setup has always given me a great picture even though it is not completely upcompressed. Using these settings and this art, the color lines on this map in red, light blue, yellow and purple all have a "color shift" to the left about 5 pixels. It makes it appear that the line is where it is in the file, but the color overlaying the line is offset to the left 5 pixels and transperant to about 50%. This occurs only when viewed on some TV's and NTSC monitors and projectors. The strange thing is, some monitors display the color aligned almost perfectly on these maps and other monitors and projectors show this "digital halo" of color shifting really bad. If I take the layered network overlays in these colors and color tint them to black or grey, white, light green, or even light orange, they no longer have the color shifting and the detail is perfect.
    Is there any way to fix this problem? I have tried duplicating the sequence and setting the compressor to 8bit Uncompressed, and while my captured footage is not this compression, in theory the art should render at this higher resolution setting. This did nothing to solve the problem.
    I also have tried using different Broadcast safe and Y/C corrector filters with different results. The Y/C filter allowed me to reposition the color problem and thus removing most of the problem, but also removing most of the color. Nothing else has allowed me to seemingly move the color into the proper possition.
    What is causing this color shift on the displayed NTSC image?
    In FCP 4.5 I can see my rendered video in the program viewer screen and besides the pixel compression appearing on the lines, overall the video looks great paused or even better when playing. Then you view it through my deck onto my Pro Sony NTSC 19" color monitor and it also appears great, with a slight color halo to the left of these colors, but the color in the lines are there. If you are a few feet from the screen and know what you are looking for you might see it, but doubtful. Then you view it using the same signal on a 17" Samsung TV and the color shifting makes the map and other art, like the clients blue logo, look horrible, with each color line appearing twice and offset left from each other as if you had double vision. Normally I would think it is the TV causing this, but then we tested this same movie on 2 differnt projectors. The $700 Epson projector displayed everything beautifully, again with only the slightest color halo to the left, but then the Panasonic $4000 projector made everthing in these colors look double vision again. What is going on???
    One more thing to keep in mind, my color bars also show this problem with these colors as well as shot footage of these facilities. There are tall red poles in the shots and everything displays fine except for the red pole color looks like it's glowing off the pole to the left.
    PLEASE tell me there is a solution to this.

    I have tried Degaussing, using filters, changing cables, and testing other monitors and systems on these monitors, everthing I can think of to solve the issue. Is it FCPo or is it the monitors?... or is it a signal strength thing. Can monitors and projectors shift color when the signal is read from a DVD or Mini DV Deck? Is there a fequency difference (Ie: 75mgz or 80 mgz) that might be causing the shift in some monitors and not so badly in others. But if this was true, how would some DVD's (like Baby Einstein DVDs that use really bright colors) display red and blue perfect using these same player and monitor, while my projects is shifting color? Doesn't that rule out the signal from the DVD player if other DVD's do not have this issue?
    I have uploaded the original art used, an exported .jpg file from the FCP timeline and sample photos of 2 different monitors to show to show this problem as best I can. http://www.smmlv.com/testproject/
    Someone out there must have had this problem before. There's no way a color shift problem like this with Mini DV has gone on this long without someone seeing it.
    One last thing about what I have tried... I do understand that with editing in Mini DV instead of uncompressed or HD video I lose a bit of resolution (4:2:2) and I see this compression occuring in some of the areas in the video where these problems persist. But, I did remake the art and rerender this project in an 8bit uncompressed settings and then displayed that up on the screen and I get the same color shift. I keep going in circles trying to find the culprit that is causing the delema.
    PLEASE HELP! There are large tours going through our facilities daily and the large screen projector is displaying this problem as well. Let's just hope they don't notice and that their TV's at home or office does not display it on our final DVD's made.

  • HT2513 my iCal calendar that I created with the color green keeps changing to purple.  no matter how many times I change it to green, it turns it back to purple.  Of course this only happens with iCloud and not "from my Mac".  Any ideas?

    my iCal calendar that I created with the color green keeps changing to purple.  no matter how many times I change it to green, it turns it back to purple.  Of course this only happens with iCloud and not "from my Mac".  Any ideas on how to correct this?  This seems like a trivial error, but it's super annoying.

    I called Apple and they said that they know about this problem.  It's a problem with iCloud which their Engineers know about.  (there was a new iCloud release, hence...)  No ETA for a fix yet.  I asked that this be escalated so Engineering doesn't put it at the bottom of their fix list.  I talked to a Senior Advisor and mentioned to them to have QA check their regression tests as this has happened before to me (the problem just didn't take this long to resolve).  I like to use green too for important stuff, so I've resorted to creating a new calendar using the normal calendar green for events going forward.  They could have picked another color besides green to have this problem with and I wouldn't have been so upset.  ;-)

  • Printing problems with InDesign CS3 running on OS 10.6

    I recently upgrade my old G4 Mac (OS 10.4) to a new Mac Mini running OS 10.6.6. I am still running CS3 and have encountered only one problem. When I print multiple copies documents from InDesign that contain several layers, each copy is processed separately, so that it can take several minutes just to send the print job to the printer if I'm printing over 20 copies. Then once the print job is processed the printer pauses between every copy, which is tripling the printing time. If I print a simpler document with only one or two layers it processes all the copies at once, as it should. I am printing on an Okidata 6150 color laser printer.
    I never had this problem on my old computer. I'm wondering if this is one of the "unsupported" bugs of running CS3 on Snow Leopard. I want to make sure that this is a problem unique to running CS3 with Snow Leopard before I go ahead and upgrade to CS4 or CS5.
    computer: Mac Mini core 2 duo 2.4 ghz processors, 4 gb RAM, printer: Okidata 6150 DN color laser printer.

    Hi again Peter
    It is version 5.0.4.  I updated it when I newly installed it a week ago in my new computer, and then again updated it just yesterday.
    I might mention that before I got my new computer, I was running Mac OS 4.11, and was using InDesign 3.0.  I had bought InDesign CS3 about a year ago, but hadn't gotten around to using it since version 3.0 had been working fine, and I was used to it.  Then, when I got my new computer, I decided it was time to use the newer version.  However, while using InDesign 3.0 with the old Mac OS 4.11, a printing problem popped up there, too, a few months ago... and it also involved printing problems with Adobe Reader.  I contacted Adobe, and they sent me a patch which fixed it.  I will contact Adobe again if need be, although I thought I'd start here first to see if it was a common enough problem that someone might be able to provide a free and routine answer.

    I neglected to ask what version of indesign CS3 you are using. I also 
    notice that Mac OSX 10.6.4 has just been released. It actually 
    addresses some CS3-specific issues, though they seem to be related to 
    launching the apps, not printing. It may be worth trying to update, 
    nonetheless.

  • Why do the colours from Adobe Color Theme creation change when I try to use them?

    I've been exploring the Adobe Color Theme creator in InDesign. There are the three tabs: Create, Explore, My Themes.  In the create tab I can create a theme of colours, get the combination just right, and then save my new theme.  However as soon as I save any colour out to the swatches, the colour changes! It's driving me nuts.
    [Original Colour]  -Colour it comes out as-
    [green turquoise] -prussian blue-
    [strong, bright red] -darkish orange-
    [warm purple] -faded dark mauve-
    My best guess was that maybe the colour profile of the document was set to CMYK and that the colour themes work in RGB, but as far as I can determine it's just "North America General Purpose 2" and the Working Spaces include both RGB and CMYK. Therefore I'm stumped. I do not have the expertise to figure out what is going on and these are significant colour changes to have a really strong, vibrant colour palette turn into something much more muted.
    And if this piece of information is of any use, my yellow doesn't seem to change at all.
    Any ideas please?  I've tried searching for it, but maybe I'm not putting in the right combination of keywords. Hopefully I'm just being obtuse and someone will tell me to put a checkmark in a box somewhere.

    There are some slight value changes between the Theme and the Swatches, but we're only talking a change of 1 or 2 and so the colours appear to stay true now. Total pain to have to do this extra little step every time. =)
    a huge, glaring, and sloppy problem which really ought to be fixed by Adobe pronto.
    You can batch change the color mode of swatches if you select all of the swatches and double click them. Or, you can simply leave the Lab values and let the conversion to the correct CMYK space happen when you export to PDF.
    I'm guessing the fix won't be coming soon. The original Kuler app had the same color management problem. It's hard to see how they will fix it and keep Color Themes as a cloud based web app.
    When you convert the Lab swatches the CMYK values you get will depend on the document's assigned profile, so if you make two document's with different profiles assigned you'll get different CMYK values when you convert the Lab values. Here is US SWOP vs US SNAP

  • Color management issues with Flash CS3, please help?

    Hello everyone.
    I am having issues with color from a Jpeg image produced in Photoshop CS4
    after importing onto the stage in Flash CS3. The color in Flash changes the image to a lighter less saturated state. Yuk.
    Here is a link to a screen capture to show you what's happening (for a bigger view):
    http://www.rudytorres.com/color/weirdcolor.png
    As you can see the front image is the Photoshop image showing the sRGB color profile embedded but Flash (behind) changes that color.
    This client is quite picky and she will notice this difference.
    If any one can help, please.
    - Rudy
    P.S. It's a button somewhere, Right?

    Dougfly,
    Only an hour wasted? Lucky you. Color is an incredibly complex subject. First, forget matching anything to the small LCD on the back of your camera. That's there as a basic guide and is affected by the internal jpg algorithm of your camera.
    2nd, you're not really takeing a color photo with your digital camera, but three separate B&W images in a mosaic pattern, exposed thru separate red, green and blue filters. Actual color doesn't happen until that matrix is demosaiced in either your raw converter, or the in-camera processor (which relies heavily on camera settings, saturation, contrast, mode, etc.)
    Having said the above, you can still get very good, predictable results in your workflow. I have a few color management articles on my website that you might find very helpful. Check out the Introduction to Color Management and Monitor and Printer Profiling. In my opinion, a monitor calibration device is the minimum entry fee if you want decent color.

  • Colors are different in PS CS3 Vs CS4, Why ?

    Hi.
    I just found out that colors of a photo in CS3 is not looking the same in CS4 ?
    I have a G5 with Geforce 6600 card in and i had to turn of OpenGL because it was so slow when it was enabled.
    Then i tried to open both Photoshop CS3 and CS4 at the same time to check a picture and saw for my suprice that the colors was not identical.. Weird.
    It is lighter in PS CS4 that in CS3
    Also from Bridge CS4 to Photoshop CS4 it was different.
    Is that normal. I woulden say.
    In my Suite CS3 all colors looks the same in Bridge and PS. OFCAUSE.
    I did check my color settings first. They are the same all over (Adobe 98)
    Is it a bug or is it because i turned of the open GL settings in PS CS4 ?
    If it is because i turned of the Open GL settings in PS CS4, that would be a very bad
    thing to do because many people have older computers where the GPU dosent work
    well with the Open GL settings ON and you can at least work when its OFF.
    But not if the colors are not right.
    Please. If someone could replay on this matter. I'm sure more people will like to know
    this. I'm not even sure many people noticed this, so everybody.
    If you have Creative Suite CS3 and CS4 on your Mac.
    Try uncheck the Open GL settings in PS CS4 and restart PS.
    Then compare the picture in PS CS3 and CS4 at the same time !!!
    Hope someone have some answers ?
    Thanks you

    Hi Chris.
    Good news. I cant tell you how happy i am for all your help ;-) and you other guys.
    The latest Eizo 5.2.1 software fixed the problem on all 3 Eizo monitors.. Weeee
    I'm back to normal.
    Now i just have another damn problem started not long ago ;(
    My Photoshop CS3 and CS4 keeps crashing on me after a wile of work ???
    I tried everything. Deleted preffs etc. etc.
    It have been working for long long time but suddenly it keeps crashing all the time.
    I tried to remove some new plug-ins, but it was not that.
    Only thing i did also was to install new ram.
    Upgraded from 10GB to 14GB in all our Mac Pro.
    So after i tried to switch the ram around to check if some was bad.
    Also run some memory software but everything came out right.
    So now the only thing left is that Photoshop dosent like ram between 14GB & 16GB.
    Under was fine and i never tried over 16 gigs.. weird
    Any ide what could corse this ?

  • Weird Z and Y key swap and arabic filename problems in Illustrator CS3

    Hi
    I am having some very weird problems with Illustrator CS3.
    At completely random times, the software starts to think my Y and Z keys have swapped places. i.e. When I type anything or use any shortcuts, the opposite letters appear and are used.
    Also from time to time, when I save a file, the filename is written in Arabic and I have to rename the file again in Explorer to correct this.
    Both of these problems are random and a restart or Illustrator usually fixes both of these. But what a pain and waste of time.
    Anyone else getting problems like this?
    Oh, I'm using Windows Vista.
    Thanks
    Mr M

    My guess is, it is related to Windows. Try to press shift and ctrl at once if the problem occurs. The keys should be switched back...
    You have probably installed more than one keyboard in Windows. Shift-ctrl is the standard way to switch between them. You can change this in the Windows keyboard configuration file.
    I had this problem with a German and a VS keyboard installed.

    DBQ=D:\sites\169\136\www\_private\caevents.mdb"
    also works! Problem is, now I'm vulnerable to subsequent
    changes which may take place in the server.
    I saw a note about this posted about two years ago. Is it
    still not fixed? Or, am I doinf something wrong?

  • Color Separations Problem in Acrobat 8/9 Pro

    We recently discovered a color separation problem in Acrobat 8 Pro and 9 Pro. In version 7 Pro we could select and thus include 'empty' color sep pages. Now when we select seps of the all the available colors, seps are produced only for those colors actually used in the job. This is true of pre-separated and in-rip seps. Can anyone shine some light on this 'change'? Thanks!

    We are able to reproduce color saturation problem at our end. We have noted down and will work on this.
    Thanks.

  • ICal colors have all changed on my iMac

    When I turned my iMac (10.7.5) on this morning and turned on iCal (version 5.0.3), all of the colors had been changed. Before they were each distinct and clear and easy to tell apart from each other, now they all seem muted and when I look at my calendar it looks like one jumbled category of muted blue tones. The colors on the iPhone iCal seem to have remained the same, they have not changed.
    While in iCal on the iMac, I looked in the preferences and the colors seem to have changed there as well...just a handful of similar, muted colors.
    Does anyone know what is going on? If it remains like this, I am going to have to switch calendars as there is no way to tell categories apart!
    Thanks for any help/insight you can offer me!

    This is strange...I received two emails about two different replies but all I can see is my original message.
    So to answer ssschmidt, yes, I do sync with iCloud, always have and have never had a problem like this. The thing that is most frustrating as this new color scheme completely overhauled my calendar, it's a jumbled, muted mess now!
    gail from maine, thank you for your reply, I will wait to see if it clears up. I saw the post from last August but did not see the more recent queries. Thank you for replying.

  • Lightroom (ACR 4) color management problems

    Lightroom (or ACR 4) has some color management problems. When I develop a DNG into Photoshop (sRGB) everything looks great. Then I proof colors for the web (monitor RGB) the reds become oversaturated. I don't see this problem when I develop the same DNG using Bridge (ACR 3).
    Any picture that I develop using LR that looks great in Photoshop, becomes way too red when published on the web.
    Whats going on here?

    I have confirmed this finding using Photoshop CS3 beta - same problem in converting to the web - too red!
