Inconsistent color ID/PS

I'm getting variations in color in an image placed in ID CS3 when I edit the original in PS. CS3 color settings are synchronized in Bridge. Why would this be?

Probably because indesign is not showing you the true image but rather a lo-res proxy of the image.
If the colour settings are correct then the colours should match in print and/or pdf.

How do I resolve inconsistent color definition message even if all my files have the same definition

All of the files in my book have the same exact color definiti
ons: New Color1. Yet I keep getting the inconsistent color definition messag
es every time I go to print or regenerate my toc. I still get results but It's annoying!

Does EACH document have the SAME definition of NewColor1? Having the same name does not imply that they are the same definition.
Try opening the first document in the book. Then select all the documents in the book file and import the color definitions from the opened file. This will make all the documents have the same definitions as in the first document.

Inconsistent color definitions

Hi, all,
I have a problem concerning inconsistent color definitions when I print a book file on the Linux system.
The error message says:
Color definition: Color8 is inconsistent
This may relate to the fact that this .fm file is copied from Windows version FrameMaker file.
How can I solve the problem?
Thank you in advance for any help.
Alice

The message means that a color named "Color8" is defined in
more than one of the files in the book, and that the definition
differs between the files. This could be highly undesirable if
the color is being used and you are doing color productions.
The remedy is to make all color definitions the same in all
files by importing color definitions to the entire book.
BTW, the message is a warning and should not prevent you from
printing the book.
If you're familiar with the files in the book, and you feel
confident that "Color8" is not used for anything important,
and you're not doing high-quality color productions, then:
1. In the book window, select all the files in the book.
2. In the book windows, select File > Import > Formats
3. Deselect everything except "color definitions"
4. At the top, select the file you copied from Windows in
"import from document"
5. Click "import"
6. Save all files and try printing again.
If you're not familiar with the files and you're not sure if
"Color8" could be used for anything important, you should
either consult with someone who designed the files, or at
least select one of the other files in the book to import
colors from. In this case, find a file in the book that contains
the color "Color8" (use View > Color > Definition). Once you've
found such a file, follow the instructions above and use this
file to import colors from.
Even better is if you have access to a template file for the
book that contains all definitions of formats. Then open that
file in FM and use it to import from.

Photoshop CS6/Camera RAW 8.8 Inconsistent Color Edits

I just updated my Windows Photoshop CS6 to 13.01x64 and my Camera Raw to 8.8.0.397. My issue since updating is when I open a RAW file and edit it in that window, when I click 'Open Image' and it converts it into the Photoshop window (to further edit), the colour is very different than it was in the RAW window. Below is an example where I went extreme to show the issue. The left is the RAW window and the right is when it converted to after I clicked 'Open Image'. It's much more muted and the colours are quite different. You can see the difference especially in his face. I'm beginning to feel desperate. Can anyone help?

I'm not seeing it with CC 2014.2.2 and ACR 8.8, but then again it's a different PS version and different RAW.
Maybe something happen with color settings in Photoshop?

Inconsistent color values across CS3 apps

I am using CS3 on a 2.66 quad core Intel Mac running 10.5.8.
I am working with an InDesign file with many links. When I click the edit link button on the links palette in InDesign my image opens in Photoshop just as expected. I use the info panel in Photoshop to take a color reading and decide I need to edit. Any adjustment items (Levels/Curves) that I open cause the readout in the info palette to jump, both the before and After readings. I have a c:1, M:1, y:1 turn into a c:10, m:8, y:8.
If I open the file directly from the server or from my local desktop into Photoshop, This problem does not exist. The values stay the same until I actual make an adjustment.
I have restarted. Same problem. I have deleted all preferences for Photoshop, InDesign, & Bridge. Same Problem.
My admin logged in under their name and this problem disappeared.
Does anyone know what setting or preference I need to change/eliminate to stop this problem?
My biggest concern is that my final files will have some issues on press as a result of this.
Thanks

Urrrrrg.
Problem solved.
1. Go to the correct folder to get the image.
2. destroy attached profile.
3. rejoice over minor victory.

Inconsistent Color Prints on Epson R2400

Okay, I'm frustrated. I ran out of ink on my epson r2400, specifically light light black and light magenta. I changed cartridges and now the color is off. I haven't changed the profiles or settings and the image is the same (I was printing multiple copies of the same image when I ran out of ink). The prints are much more magenta now . The inks are epson inks, the paper is Costco paper, the profile I got directly from Costco. I ran a nozzle check, and it was fine. The combination worked very well until I ran out of ink.
I contacted Epson, to see if they could explain it or if they ever have ink inconsistencies. They assured me that their ink quality is perfectly consistent. Therefore, they said, the problem must be with the paper or my settings in Photoshop.
Has anyone experienced a color shift simply from changing cartridges before? Any suggestions on what might have happened within Photoshop to cause such a problem? Any suggestions at all?
Thanks,
Steve

Thanks for the latest tips, though the problem has been solved!!
I ran through the light magenta cartridge in question making a lot of color prints where the match wasn't critical. I replaced the cartridge with another epson light magenta and printed the same photo that initially caused my concern. Amazingly it is back to where it belongs, identical to the prints I printed before I made the last cartridge change.
Therefore, in my opinion, the cartridge was indeed the culprit. Surprising yes, disappointing yes, rare yes, but it really, truly did happen.
I've always been a fan of epson, but it sure is infuriating when a manufacturer places the blame on someone else and refuses to even consider that the fault could possibly be in their own quality control.
Though I will most likely stick with epson when I eventually search for another printer, I may now entertain other brands. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Steve

AE CS3 inconsistent colors - HDTV (Rec. 709) color preset is bad?

I have 2 sets of known-good SMPTE colors bars generated from Avid - SD and HD. In AE, with Simulate Output turned on, the displayed black level of the HD bars is twice as high as the SD. They should be identical.
I created 2 projects for each clip:
In SD:
Working space: NTSC SDTV
Clip Interpret footage: SDTV NTSC 16-235
Use Display color management
Simulate Output -> SDTV NTSC
HD:
Working space: HDTV (Rec. 709)
Clip Interpret footage: HDTV (Rec. 709) 16-235
Use Display color management
Simulate Output -> HDTV (Rec. 709)
The rightmost PLUGE bars of both source files are the same value, and as per SMPTE standard should be just barely visible on a properly calibrated monitor.
However, with Display Color Management on, the SD pluge reads 10 (on an 8-bit scale), while the HD reads 19 (almost twice as bright). This is manifested visually, the SD pluge is barely visible as it should be, and the HD pluge is considerably brighter. It's easily noticed via screen grabs too:
My display is calibrated, and that's irrelevant anyway - the pixel value that AE shows should be the same for both comps.
Has anyone else noticed such an issue? Is this a known bug in AE CS3? Or am I missing something?
AE 8.0.2.27 on OSX 10.5.8

I installed AE CS 5.5, went through the same process - same exact thing.
Maybe you or others could repeat this little test on your system. I can supply you with a couple of 80KB TIFFs.
By the way the project working space makes no difference between SD and HD, it's the HDTV Simulate Output preset that seems off.

CS applications printing inconsistent color

My problem is that the same file prints differently in Photoshop, Illustrator, InD and Acrobat. I've synchronized the color settings in Bridge. Nevertheless they produce different color when I print. Illustrator & InD are pale, and Acrobat is too dark. Photoshop alone produces true color.
I'm currently testing with an Illustrator vector graphic. When I save it as an Illustrator PDF and print from Acrobat, colors are too dark. When I save a PSD copy of the image and then place it in the Illustrator file, next to the vector version, they both print with matching pale colors. When I print the same PSD from Photoshop, colors are bright and accurate. So the color difference is related to the application (and printer), not the file.
Let me emphasize that all apps use the same synchronized color settings. I've turned the printer's color management off, and color handling is always by the CS app. The "printer profile" menu is set to the correct paper type. Rendering intent, perceptual. Still each program produces different color.
Any ideas? Thanks for your suggestions.
-Neil
PS. This is with a silver iMac, OSX 10.5.3, CS3, and an Epson R1900 with the newest driver.
PPS. Yes, I have calibrated my monitor, but this isn't a screen/print comparison. Photoshop prints colors true to my monitor and to what the color value actually is.

In addition to the above, I've also noticed that printing from Illustrator CS3 results in lower resolution line art, as if the screen res image is printing, rather than Illustrator outputting at the resolution of the printer. The same Illustrator file, opened in Photoshop, will print at whatever resolution it is rastered to on import.
The second problem is that the Epson driver doesn't appear to pay attention to the settings, coating the page with gloss optimizer and using photo black ink even when paper has explicitly been set to plain paper with gloss optimizer turned off.
On my Epson 4000 and 9880, I've used the Colorburst RIP. Does anyone know of a similar software RIP for the R1900?
Also Epson Utility appears to not work at all if the R1900 is either on a shared computer, or plugged into the USB Port of an AiPort base station or Time Capsule? Are there plans to add this functionality? It's a drag to not be able to see the ink level remaining from any computer other than the one the printer is connected to, or not from any computer if the printer is connected to the TimeCapsule basestation.

Confused about Color Management in CS5 (Photos appearing differently in all other programs)

I recently noticed this and it's been driving me crazy; when I view photos in Photoshop CS5 they appear significantly lighter/more washed out than when viewed in other programs like Zoombrowser, Digital Photo Professional or just in a regular Windows folder using Filmstrip mode (Windows XP). When opening the same photo in both CS5 and Zoombrowser and switching back and forth between the two windows the difference is very apparent...for example, one of the photos I compared was of a person in a black shirt -- in CS5 (lighter/washed out) the folds in the shirt were very obvious, but in Zoombrowser (darker, more contrast/saturation) the folds were nearly invisible and it looked like just solid black. Now, after messing around with the settings in both Photoshop and in Zoombrowser I've found a few ways to get the photos to look the same in the two programs; one way gives them both the lighter/more washed out appearance and another way gives them both the darker appearance with more contrast and saturation. My problem is that I'm not sure which view is accurate.
I use a NEC MultiSync LCD1990SXi monitor with SpectraView II calibration software and calibrate it every 2 weeks using these calibration settings (screenshot): http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/8826/settingsx.jpg
In the SpectraView II Software under Preferences there's an option that says "Set as Windows Color Management System Monitor Profile - Automatically selects and associates the generated ICC monitor profile with the Color Management System (CMS)." This option is checked. Also, when I open the Windows' Color Management window there's only one option displayed, which is "LCD1990SXi #######" (the ####### represents my monitor's serial number).
I assume the above settings are all correct so far, but I'm not sure about the rest.
Here are my current default Color Settings in CS5 (screenshot): http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/666/photoshopcolorsettings.jpg
Changing these settings around doesn't seem to make the photo appear much different. However, when I go to Edit -> Assign Profile, then click off of "Working RGB: sRGB IEC61966-2.1" and instead click Profile and select "LCD1990SXi ####### 2011-06-21 18-30 D65 2.20" from the drop-down menu, the picture becomes darker with more contrast and saturation and matches the picture in Zoombrowser. Also, if I select "Adobe RGB (1998)" from the drop-down menu it's very similar in terms of increased darkness and contrast but the saturation is higher than with the LCD1990SXi setting. Another way I've found to make the image equally dark with increased contrast and saturation is to go to View -> Proof Setup -> Custom and then click the drop-down menu next to "Device to Simulate" and select "LCD1990SXi ####### 2011-06-21 18-30 D65 2.20" again.
Alternatively, to make both images equally light and washed out I can go to Zoombrowser -> Tools -> Preferences and check the box next to "Color Management: Adjust colors of images using monitor profile." This makes the image in Zoombrowser appear just like it does in CS5 by default.
Like I said, I'm confused as to which setting is the accurate one (I'm new to Color Management in general so I apologize for my ignorance on the subject).
It would seem that assigning the LCD1990SXi profile in CS5 would be the correct choice in order to match the monitor calibration given the name of the profile but the "Adjust colors of images using monitor profile" option in Zoombrowser sounds like it would do the same thing as well. Also, I've read that Photoshop is a color managed software whereas Zoombrowser and Windows Picture and Fax Viewer are not which makes me think that maybe the lighter/washed out version seen in Photoshop is correct. So which version (light or dark) is the accurate one that I should use to view and edit my photos? Thanks in advance for any help or info.

Sorry for the late reply;
But before we go there or make any assumptions, it's important for
you to determine whether you're seeing consistent color in your
color-managed applications and only inconsistent color in those that are
not color-managed. For that you'll need to do a little research to see
if the applications in which you're seeing darker colors have
color-management capability (and whether it is enabled).
I opened the same picture in 7 different applications and found that the 6 of the 7 displayed the photo equally dark with equally high contrast when compared to the 7th application (CS5). The other 6 applications were Zoombrowser EX, Digital Photo Professional, Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, Quicktime PictureViewer, Microsoft Office Picture Manager and Firefox.
However, at least two of these programs offer color management preferences and, when used, display the photo (from what I can tell) exactly the same as Photoshop CS5's default settings. The two programs are two Canon programs: Zoombrowser EX and Digital Photo Professional. Here's the setting that needs to be selected in Zoombrowser in order to match up with CS5 (circled in red):
And here's the setting in Digital Photo Professional that needs to be selected in order to match up with CS5 (again, circled in red):
*Note: When the option above "Monitor Profile" is selected ("Use the OS settings") the image is displayed exactly the same as when the monitor profile is selected. It's only when sRGB is selected that it goes back to the default darker, more contrasty version.
So with the red-circled options selected, all three programs (CS5, ZB, DPP) display the images the same way; lighter and more washed out. What I'm still having trouble understanding is if that ligher, more washed out display is the accurate one or not...I've read several tutorials for all three programs which only make things more confusing. One of the tutorials says to always use sRGB if you want accurate results and *never* to use Monitor Profile and another says that, if you're using a calibrated monitor, you should always select Monitor Profile under the color management settings...so I'm still lost, unfortunately.
What I also don't understand is why, when the monitor profile is selected in CS5, the image is displayed in the dark and contrasty way that the other programs display it as by default but when the monitor profile is selected in Digitial Photo Professional it displays it in the lighter, more washed out way that CS5 displays it using CS5's default settings (sRGB). Why would selecting the monitor profile in DPP display the photo the same way as when sRGB is selected in Photoshop? And vice versa...why would selecting the monitor profile in Photoshop display the photo the same way as when sRGB is selected in DPP?
I feel like I'm missing something obvious here...which I probably am. Again, I'm very new to this stuff so pardon my ignorance on the topic.
By the way, I find that the way that the non-color managed programs (Windows Picture and Fax Viewer et al.) display the photos is more aesthetically pleasing to the eye than the duller, more washed out display that CS5 gives the photos, but ultimately what I want to see in these programs (especially PS5 where I'll be doing the editing) is the accurate representation of the actual photo itself...i.e. what it's supposed to look like and not a darker (or lighter) variant of it.
So just to reiterate my questions:
Why does selecting Monitor Profile under the color management settings in DPP give the same display results as the default sRGB profile in CS5 and vice versa? (CS5 with monitor profile selected having the same display results as DPP with the sRGB profile selected)
When using CS5 with it's default color management settings (sRGB), using DPP with the Monitor Profile selected, and using Zoombrowser EX with "Adjust color of images using monitor profile" selected this results in all three programs displaying the same lighter, washed-out images...is this lighter, more washed-out display of the images shown in these three programs the accurate one?
I noticed when opening an image in Firefox it had the same darker, contrasty look as the other non-color managed applications had. Assuming that the CS5 default settings are accurate, does this mean that if I edit a photo in CS5, save it, and upload it to the internet that other people who are viewing that image online will see it differently than how it's supposed to look (i.e. in a non-color-managed way?) If so, this would seem to indicate that they'd see a less-than-flattering version of the photo since if their browser naturally displays images as darker and more contrasty and I added more darkness and contrast to the image in CS5, they'd be seeing a version of the photo that's far too dark and probably wouldn't look very good. Is this something I have to worry about as well?
I apologize for the lengthy post; I do tend to be a bit OCD about these things...it's a habit I picked up once I realized I'd been improperly editing photos on an incorrectly calibrated monitor for years and all that time and effort had been spent editing photos in a certain way that looked good on my incorrectly calibrated monitor but looked like crap on everyone else's screen, so the length and detail of this post comes from a desire to not repeat similar mistakes by editing photos the wrong way all over again. Again, thanks in advance for all the help, it's greatly appreciated!

L'il Help Please! Text changes color half way up some characters in PDF created from PSD files

Hi there,
I have been asked to refresh the layout of an existing document that utilizes Zapfino font. The font is yellow with a black stroke at 50% opacity and also with a drop shadow. The group of text with the inconsistent color is immediately under a group of text w/ the same layer styles applied (which remains solid with the correct color).
When I save the PSD file as a PDF to send the client, the yellow switches to white in a clean break arbitrarily in some of the characters in the output PDF files. I've tried rebuilding the file twice to see if there was some error in the file but to no avail.
Any ideas on what I could try?
Cheers,
Mandi

When I save the PSD file as a PDF to send the client, the yellow switches to white in a clean break arbitrarily in some of the characters in the output PDF files.
How about posting a screenshot?
Is the type one of the faux-styles (faux-bold, faux-italic etc.)?
if this doesnt help, maybe try rasterizing the text?
In general I would rather recommend »Convert to Shape« to at least maintain vector-output, but if a stroke is applied that’s probably useless anyway.

Keynote Color Space Mismatch?

hello --
i am ecountering this strange keynote behavior. when i place a png file either as a background to a slide, or simply drang and drop it into keynote the rgb values of the image are changed. this happens despite the file having srgb embedded as a profile. this leads to somewhat inconsistent colors between my deliverables.
in keynote, when i use the sampler of the color palette i can tell that it uses "device rgb" upon placing the image. as an example:
the color (srgb) 191/189/174 gets converted to (device rgb) 203/200/188
does anyone understand what is happening here or how i can ensure that the image gets placed/imported properly?
any leads are greatly appreciated.
thank you in advance.
p.
===
as a small addition as i keep playing around with this issue. i just discovered that a plain copy & paste from photoshop straight into keynote seems to preserve the rgb values. this is very strange. see image for an example. left one is dragged into keynote, right one is the correct color just pasted into keynote.

This is happening because you dont have a colour managed workflow.
Keynote will use which ever profile has been set in System Preferences > Displays.
For example, if you have set Display settings to Adobe RGB and you place an sRGB file in Keynote, the image file will be changed from sRGB to Adobe RGB, therfore the colour values will change.
The rule for using images in a colour Managed workflow is to use the same profile in the host application
(Keynote, Photoshop, Preview) as the image file has, or convert the incoming file to the hosts profile.
So if you have mostly sRGB images, while working in Keynote, change the Display setting to sRGB.

System-wide blue to purple color switch bug

I've been having a very confusing and inconsistent color issue which has persisted for years on both a PowerBook G4 and my new MacBook Pro using Panther and Tiger respectively. The MacBook is only two weeks old and still has a very clean system.
Seemingly at random blue colors will switch to purple in random places in most apps. Restarting the computer used to solve the issue, but it no longer does - I am permanently stuck with a purple color scheme (screenshots further down).
- The default unvisited link color in all apps has switched from blue to purple.
- The finder icon has switched from blue to purple in both the dock and the command-tab switcher (but the icon is the correct color when viewed inside the CoreServices folder). All other blue dock icons are unaffected.
- Some toolbar or sidebar images in most apps which were blue are now purple, but other blue icons have stayed blue.
I have screenshots just to show that I'm not imagining this. Mail and the Finder use the same drag-and-drop sidebar highlight color. However, Mail has now taken on a purple theme:
And here is the Finder icon as seen in the dock, and then as an alias in the Finder:
Here is what I have tried thus far (nothing has worked):
- Logging out and in
- Logging out and in while holding shift (safe login)
- Restarting the computer
- Restarting the computer while holding shift (safe boot)
- Repairing permissions and restarting
- Zapping the PRAM (command-option-p-r)
- Creating a new user account and logging into it
- Running daily, weekly, and monthly cron scripts using Onyx
- Deleting all caches for applications, fonts, system, and kernel
- Pulled everything out of the main Library (Macintosh HD/Library/), cleared caches, and restarted
From this I've concluded that it's probably a bug or corrupted file in the core system since safe boot, clean user accounts, and a bare library didn't fix the problem. The obvious solution would be to re-install the OS, but I'm afraid that the problem would just happen again since it has been occurring with multiple versions of the OS on two different computers.
Does anyone have any ideas?

I should add that this has been a slowly developing problem, one which is only getting worse. The first effect was a system-wide change in the default unvisited link color. Restarting the computer solved the problem whenever it would occur (about twice a day). The next to be affected was image colors, and once this happened for the first time, restarting the computer no longer fixed the problem.

Color consistency from Photoshop to AI?

I created a new logo recently. All the text was created in Illustrator and one element (radio antenna waves) was built in Photoshop. I've set the color to PMS 464 but when I bring the 'waves' into AI, the color is darker. I've tried adjusting different settings in Photoshop, playing with transparency in AI, etc. Is there a color setting I've missed? Below is the web version with an 85% opacity on the waves, but you can see the difference in colors.
Thanks. Sarah

I have looked at is and the only conclusion I can come to is that using the pantone colors is a good idea for print and not a good idea for the web.
If you use the pantone colors then you have to turn on Overprint preview to see the proper output for press and you will see a pretty close match when you have overprint preview on.
If you try this for the save for the web you will get a very inconsistent color.
However if your only concern is color consistency and one of the objects is vector you can probably use the Edit>Edit Colors>Adjust Color Balance and Saturation to adjust the color.
I would say a wiser way to do this is to color the art in an rgb environment for the web and not use spot colors swatches that were designed to work in a cmyk for print.
If you turn on Overprint preview you will see what I mean, then though it is matched and you do a save for the web you will see the conversion is not working well for that environment
I would save the paths and use swatches you create yourself because this was not intended to work this way and is probably part of the problem.
Overprint preview will show you what you will get in print but the consistency for the web well I would say there is something wrong .
this shows what you can get with adjusting the colors and you will get this for save for the web by doing so this and if you don't adjust the colors but turn on overprint preview you get this as well
This is what you get without overprint preview turned on and what you would get for save for the web if you do not adjust the colors.
I have no idea why there should be so big a difference except to say they are going about this in the wrong way and it needs to be corrected.
There seems to be no reason for this to be. PMS 464 should be PMS 464 if it is in the same environment.
Now of course if one had it as rgb in photoshop and brought it into Illustrator for a cmyk document then there is going to a conversion which you might not like and if you create a cmyk document with art that was convert from rgb to cmyk in transport and are trying to match objects from the different applications that probably would not work.
I really do not know why this is happening in my opinion it is a bug. This is so long an explanation because I really do not have an explanation for it.
Perhaps someone else does.

Photoshop and InDesign not consistent identifying colors in alternate spaces

Pantone 413 (as an example) in Photoshop has a CMYK equivalent of C-22, M-17, Y-24, K-0, and an RGB reading of 197,196, 187, and a hex #c5c4bb.
Pantone 413 in InDesign gives me the following conversions: CMYK 0-0-9-20, RGB 209-208-295, and HEX # D1D0C3.
There are additional differences in Adobe Illustrator. 413 is not the only color giving me inconsistent color readings across apps.
Both apps are set in Bridge to North American Pre-Press2.
What is the most accurate method of determining CMYK, RGB, and HEX equivalents of PMS colors?
InDesign/Photoshop/AI CS4, OS X 10.5.8, Intel iMac.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Post 2 is a valid solution and the best solution, but:
If you are not comfortable using Lab values for spot color CMYK builds – that is you would prefer to use Pantone CMYK book values – you need to avoid using the Pantone Solid Libraries.
(The Pantone Solids were not really designed for CMYK print design. So many of these colors simply cannot be replicated in the CMYK color space. Trying to achieve a close match may result in disappointment)
Use either a Pantone Bridge library, or the more traditional Solid to Process library.
However in Photoshop your troubles may not end there. If you have an RGB Photoshop image, the color values will not hold in InDesign. The reason is these are CMYK libraries. When used in RGB color space they will be mapped to RGB. When placed in InDesign, they will be remapped to CMYK on output using color management and the book values do not hold.
Confused yet? Don't feel alone...

Color rendering problem

I'm seeing strange and inconsistent color rendering behavior is CS3 with one specific photo (if it is happening elsewhere I have not noticed it).
The photo is in a CRT2 file shot with a Canon 1Ds MKII, and depicts form autumn clematis; the shot is predominantly green and white, with some cream & yellow.
When I open the folder containing the raw file in Bridge, the color rendering in the thumbnail is what I expect. However, as soon as I select the thumbnail it (and the version in the viewing pane) gain a bright green color cast. The same cast is present in Photoshop.
If I open the same CR2 file in DXO Optics, the colors start as expected. I manipulate the photo a bit to get the colors I desire, and save as a JPEG.
If I open the resulting JPEG in Photoshop, it immediately acquires the same bright green color cast. If I open it in Windows Picture Viewer, it also has the color cast.
However, if I reopen it in DXO, or open it with the Quick Time picture viewer I see the colors as I set them in DXO.
I'm stumped -- anyone have any suggestions? Color space is ADobe RGB throughout...

Might be a case of applying color profiles twice. Does the color look correct when you disable color management in Bridge and PS?
