Colors onscreen in LR do not match when opened in PS - how to fix?

Hi there
I'm using Lightroom 1.0 and PS CS. When I open my files in LR and view them - especially JPGs - they look completely different than opening the exact same files in Photoshop - on the some monitor at the same time.
I can't find settings for color management in LR and the help thing says you don't have to worry about it - but clearly it is displaying something wrong. In LR my JPGs from my Canon 5D look WAY too contrast and red but in PS I open them and they look great right out of the camera. So why is LR messing up my colors onscreen?
The CR2 files when I export them look different too. Why is this happening and how do I get LR and PS on the same page? Aren't they supposed to talk to each other?
Thanks

Darlene -
I think we have the same problem and I'm at a total loss...
First, here's a screen grab showing Lightroom on the left, the picture was exported as a PSD and then open in CS2 - shown on the right. The file was exported as ProPhoto RGB, 16 bit. Photoshop (CS2) is set-up with ProPhoto RGB as its color space:

Next, here's the same screen shot but with Apple's Preview app opening the same PSD - and its color MATCHES Lightroom.

To prove the color policies are set-up the way I keep reading over and over... Screen grab from Photoshop (CS2)

If this helps anyone, here is the EXIF from the image (and I've tried many, many images - same result)

I'm almost 100% sure that Apple preview is color managed, here's a screen shot showing where you can change color profile being applied

And finally a screen shot of the Monitor profile being used in the displays control panel (OS X 10.4.10).

After messing with this for almost 48 hours and searching the internet over and over, I'm no closer to answer. My conclusion is that either CS2 is messed up, so ---
De-installed it
Installed 7.0 - same result...
Re-installed CS2 - same result...
Downloaded the CS3 Extended demo - same result...
The next step is to repeat all of this on my wife's Mac and then the computer at work. The computer at work will probably be fine since that system is Windows and pure sRGB. Our IT department even locks us out color management panels - like Adobe Gamma. So that probably won't go too well...

    Hello there, graciecloyd.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers a few steps to try when an application is not functioning as expected:
    iOS: Understanding multitasking
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4211
    If an app doesn't respond to your input, or doesn't perform as expected, do the following, testing after each step:
    Check for app updates.
    Force the app to close.
    Restart your device.
    Update your iOS device.
    Learn more about troubleshooting apps.
    On Step 2, close all applicaitons that are open. On Step 3, if the restart doesn't help resolve the issue, you may also want to try the Reset step in that article as well.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • Art work not matching when using home sharing on ipad

    it seems as of recently the video art work is not matching when i use home sharing on my ipad 2. i seemed to notice this about a week ago, up till then the art work matched. the art work is correct on my apple tv 2. it seems to be an ipad issue. i have tried resetting the ipad but all that does is shuffle the art work around again.

    I figured out my own problem. Thanks dmule you're a genius. All I had to do was turn off home sharing on my iPad and then turn it back on. Now all the video art work matches their proper movies.

    Adobe web chat come up with a solution.
    Open the PP project.
    Export your sequence or project as a Final Cut Pro XML file.
    Set up a new PP project.
    Import the Final Cut Pro XML file.
    This will get you back up an running.
    Since getting back to editing this project I have found that some things will be lost or change in using XML:
    You will lose position key framing, black video clips, dissolve fx, audio levels, audio dynamic fx, the ability to open a multi camera clip and change the camera view.
    You will keep cut points, crop fx.
    Not perfect but only took a couple of hours to save 3 days work.

  • System Preferences not responding when opening desktop

    After installing Lion 10.7, I find that whenever I try to change the desktop wallpaper in system preferences, it freezes and I have to force quit it.
    I tried to find the systempreferences.plist, as seen from google searches, but I can't find it anywhere, and those seem to be solutions for SL, L or Tiger.
    Help appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I've been having the same issue with system preferences in osx lion freezing and not doing anything for the past week.  Your post solved the problem; all I had to do was move the iphoto library and the photo booth library to the desktop, then I moved them back to my pictures folder in the finder window.  Now system preferences works like a charm, even if I restart the system the system preferences utilities are all accessible.
    This solved the problem; whereas other posts that had me use disk utility to repair the hard drive or repair the disk permissions didn't solve the issue.
    This now saves me a call to apple tech support
    Thank you.

    It has to do with a problem accessing the images on the home>images folder. To solve it, just move its content (iphoto library included) to another place. Then, restart System Preferences. Moving your iPhoto library to another location seems to fix the problem. I am sure Apple will issue an update to correct this problem. But, for now this seems to work for me.

  • I have 4s iPhone , I download the iOS 7. Now the front receiver microphone is not working , please help me that how to fix the problem.

    I have 4s iPhone , I download the iOS 7. Now the front receiver microphone is not working , please help me that how to fix the problem.

    I live in South Africa, and I had the same problem with my iPhone 4.
    After weeks of frustration and swearing, I was in the process of restoring my phone to a previous iOS. To do that you need to turn the "Find my iPhone" option off, since i turned it off, my problem was solved. No need to repair anything or revert back to old iOS.
    ***** that i cant use Find my iPhone, but atleast i can use my phone.

    iMessage and FaceTime went down yesterday for some people. Mine is still down. My iMessage is saying the same thing about being activated. Sounds like you are still down too. Ignore the status page that says everything is fine - it lies.

    My iphone 5 can't tethering to my mac by cable, because it's not recognized as connected, someone knows how to fix it?

    Is the device reasonably well changed and active on the same Wi-Fi network?
    If you need to connect the USB cable wrap the end of the USB connector in some thin tape to stop it getting caught or use a USB extension cable.

    Hey skyshade13,
    Thanks for the question. The following article outlines how to restore a previous iTunes library should there be no content after updating. While the article does not speak specifically to your symptoms, attempting the steps by utilizing the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder may resolve your issue.

  • Panasonic tz60 raw not supported in Aperture 3. How to fix?

    can anyone help me?

    panasonic tz60 raw not supported in Aperture 3. How to fix?
    Aperture's raw support is camera specific. The list of currently supported cameras is here:
    Apple - Aperture - Technical Specifications - RAW Support
    Apple focusses on cameras, that are most likely used by professionals. Your camera is an excellent camera, and I wish I had it, but so far none of the cameras in the Panasonic Lumix tz-family have been supported in Aperture.  So send feedback to Apple, that you want this camera to be supported.  You can use this form for a feature request:  Apple - Aperture - Feedback
    To be able to use your raw files in Aperture, you could try a few work-arounds:
    Use the software, that came with your camera, to convert the files to another lossless format, eg. TIFF.
    Or do, what I am doing with the raws from my Lumix FZ28 - download the free Adobe DNG converter and convert your RAWS to DNG format:  Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh, I don't know, if that will work for your tz60 files, but give it a try.
    If you have hopes, that Apple will support the camera soon, shoot RAW&JPEG for the time being, and work with the JPEGs, until hopefully the raw support will be released.
