Photoshop CS5 ruining color now?

Hi all.
I captured a screen shot on my Mac using Grab, and pasted it into Photoshop. The color was way off, with a pinkish cast added. You can see a comparison here; the original is on the left and Photoshop is on the right.
I brought this split-screen shot into PS and the cast got even worse. I tried both TIFFs and PNGs, and Photoshop is wrecking the color. I can't find any explanation in the settings. Any ideas? PS is pretty much unusable at this point.

Mobius Strip, discussing the profile of screen grabs is all distracting twaddle…
Since you don't seem to be aware of this, your Color settings are located here Edit > Color Settings. You need to make sure these settings match in CS4 and 5, and that no "Convert to…" settings are switched on in either. 'Convert To…" will automatically convert opened documents to your default profiles, specified in this dialog. Which you don't want.
You need to develop some basic understanding of Color Management.
what is Photoshop displaying when "proof color" is off? Because it's not what other apps are showing from the same files.
It is attempting to display the actual colors contained within the document. Whatever profile that document may be in. It uses the monitor profile, which it assumes to be accurate, to do this. This attempt is restricted only by the full gamut (range of colors) available on your monitor.
There were no changes to Color Management features between Photoshop CS4 and CS5. In every resect they will display colors the same. To be 100% sure than Photoshop is behaving the same in both cases, make sure also that Open GL is consistently switched on or off for both versions.

I own photoshop cs5 extended but now have win8. can i upgrade to cc at reduced price to cc or do i need to purchase it at full price? I don't need cloud but will use the pc for install.

There is no such thing as a "pay once, use forever CC". It's strictly a subscription model that you can use as long as you pay for it. Your CS5 will give you a discount for the first year.

Photoshop CS5: Any color with zero red information will turn black

I've been having this problem ever since I installed Photoshop CS5 (12.0.4) on a Windows 7 64-bit machine. I've used the program on a Windows Vista 64-bit PC in the past with no problems.
Any color that has zero red information will turn black when in RGB mode and in either 8 or 16-bit mode. If I use the paintbrush, for example, a color with RGB 0/100/100 will be black. However, the color 1/100/100 will not. This problem also occurs with imported images. I've only tried JPEG and PNG so far. The problem does not save out though, as any image exported from Photoshop will appear fine. The issue seems to go away when in 32-bit mode, but it's a little RAM-intensive, and the file sizes are quite large.
I have reinstalled Photoshop, reset its preferences, and reinstalled my video card's drivers (I have a Radeon HD 7870). My PC has 8 GB of RAM and plenty of free hard drive space.
Below is a screencap of what's going on. I'm a bit lost here...any help would be greatly appreciated!

It's a well-known issue with current ATI drivers and Photoshop's GPU-accelerated color-management logic.
You can work around it a couple of different ways:
1. You can install ATI's latest Catalyst 13.2 beta driver, which does solve the problem, or you can uninstall and drop back to Catalyst 12.8.
2. You can switch to Basic GPU mode (and restart Photoshop). Basic mode moves the color-management logic into the CPU. This might be a workaround you'd prefer to take until AMD releases their next non-beta driver where the problem is solved.

Photoshop CS5 shows colors incorrectly on my CintiqUX21

All I know is that it is really just Photoshop, When viewing images or documents on the Cintiq they display the same colors as on my main monitor.
But when I draw something in Photoshop the colors are more saturated. This is especcially noticable when I undock the working space and drag it on my main monitor.
Testing with a rainbow gradient I can see that relative to my main monitor the purple gets darker and the blue gets stronger; almost turning into a solid bar rather than a gradient. The green also gets slightly lighter.
What am I doing wrong?

Hmmm I've been working in sRGB IEC61966-2.1 Always have been, never really changed it.
Appearantly there is an option called Cintiq12wx.icc which seems to work better. (The blue is still a bit strong but it ain't no solid bar any longer)
It is a great improvement!
Thank you Mylenium! Good guess!

Is there a way to reinstall an older version of Photoshop (CS5) without the CD.

I lost my Photoshop CS5 CD and now I need to reinstall on my new computer. Is there a way to reinstall without the CD? I can't afford to buy it again. I have the serial numbers and information from the original purchase.

Photoshop CS5 crashes when using scripts

I thought this problem was resolved when I installed a Photoshop CS5 patch but now it's back again.
Why does this F***ing program keep crashing when running scripts? There ought to be a lemon law for software that doesn't work as advertised.
I'm not alone...there are hundreds of complaints about Photoshop crashing. Adobe - are you listening?

Interesting to note that when a person comes in here with an attitude, using foul language, they don't get much help. Ray, people likely understand your frustration, but the old "honey/vinegar" adage seems to apply. Most of us "flies" around here are just users like yourself. I don't think I'd have replied either but for the word "thanks" at the bottom of your last post.
Look in your Windows System Event Log for information on the failures. Post the overview information from those failures here and someone may be able to offer some further guidance. Especially interesting will be the "faulting module" names.
Some things to check:
What 3rd party plug-ins do you have installed? Do the problems continue if you remove them?
Have you updated Photoshop to 12.0.3?
Have you updated your video drivers to the latest released by nVidia?
Is Windows up to date? What version of Windows are you running, by the way?
What are your Edit - Preferences - Performance settings?
Something's very likely wrong with your particular computer / software setup, as most folks don't seem to be seeing the problems you are.

OSX Lion and Photoshop CS5 "scratch disc error"

I've been using Photoshop CS5 for awhile now (about a year and a half). Up to yesterday I was running OSX Snow Leapord with no issues. Yesterday I upgraded to OSX Lion and today, my first day using Photoshop in Lion, I'm getting repeated "scratch disc error" messages with a "quit" button (no other options). Photoshop works fine for awhile, three hours or so, and then I'll get the "scratch disc error" message and will be forced to quit Photoshop and restart.
My main drive is a 2Tb drive with 1.7Tb of available space, so I'm sure scratch disc space isn't a problem. I've got about another Tb of scratch disc space available on two other internal drives. I've got 14Gb of Ram, all memtested and working perfectly. It clearly seems to be an issue with OSX Lion since it never happened before today. A few other details: I'm up to date with Photoshop CS5, I have Open GL turned off because I'm on an older Mac Pro (a 3.0 Ghz dual quad core, 2.1) and my video card doesn't play nicely with Open GL (a whole different kind of crash).
All three times I've gotten the "scratch disc error" pop-up today it seems to have been when I open multiple files. This last time I opened something like 8 files. Big deal; sometimes I open 40 or more without any problems. So can anyone please help me with this issue? I have yet to lose any of my work (I save constantly - a habit born out of past frustrations), so it's managable, but it shouldn't be happening.
Thanks.

I am havng this same exact problem. Recently, I reinstalled my OSX Lion fresh, and also just installed CS5.5 Design Premium. I have been experiencing this same error repeatedly.
On my computer there are two separate Scratch Discs (non-partioned) and when the error first popped up, I tried switching between Scratch Discs. One at a time, even using other drives and still received the same error. I've done everything I can find suggested to no avail. All OS updates are done, CS5.5 is updated, permissions repaired, disks repaired, graphics driver current, OpenGL disabled, etc....
If we can determine a fix, it would be greatly appreciated. Photoshop is an awesome tool that I use extensively, and this is driving me insane!
BTW, here is the error I believe he is getting (same one I see way too many times a day)
Thanks, Billy

Color change on exporting from lightroom and saving in Photoshop CS5

I have been having issues with my pictures with color management.    I have Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS5. I thought over the last 2 years that it was just me.   I have bought a Eizo monitor with a hood, calibrate with a i1display pro, painted my walls gray, updated my strobes from alien bees to elinchrome bxri's.   Updated my sekonic meter to a L 758.   Have done custom white balance with gray card, expodisc, xrite kits.   The problem has been over the years when I work on a picture in lightroom and export it as jpeg or adobe rgb it gets saved to my external hardrive and the colors are really bad !!   You can go back and compare the picture in lightroom to the picture on my iomega external drive and there is a significant difference.   I do some animal photography and I had a dog that had brown fur and when I export it out of lightroom the dogs fur is actually a bright very orange color. Same thing happens with skin tones.     When I import the photos into lightroom the pictures look ok.       The same thing is happening when I go from lightroom to photoshop the picture color looks good but when I go to File-save as - tiff or jpeg the colors are changing.   It does not matter what color space I am in I have tried them all it is still happening.    If anyone has any insight that would be great.

         Thanks everyone for the help.   I have only been doing photography for about 2 years and the color managment part has been my hardest thing to get right.   My monitor ColorEdge CG243W LCD.   Wide color gamut of 98%. Has a sensor on front of monitor that detects ambient brightness but this will only work if you are in a custom color mode. Modes are: custom, sRGB,DCI,EBU, Cal1.   I use the Cal 1 to be able to use the Colornavigator software that came with the monitor. You also have to be in custom color mode to be able to manually adjust brightness, contrast, temperature on the monitr itself which I do not use because I use the Cal 1 mode.   I was not sure about the digital input signals.   I am on the DVI-I in which this allows digital signal input and analog signal input.    There is a DVI-D mode that allows only digital input only.    Also did not know if I needed to be concerned about setting the frequency that corresponds to the grahic board in the monitor ?    My bandwith was set to normal and now is on wide.   My digital input is for 1920x1200 resolution.   Appicable signal is Vesa CVT RB. Frequency is 60 Hz.   Yes I did call Eizo twice last year when I got my monitor and did not get very far.     I have also called and spoke to a color specialist at my lab and told him the problems I have been having and he just told me to leave everything in sRGB.   Well I would like to get the most from my monitor's color gamut and when working on my pictures so that is why I am still determined to get this figured out.
I use the i1 Dislpay Pro hardware to calibrate with and the ColorNavigator software.     When calibrating.   I go to create a new target---select enter manually--Gamut ( monitor native--states recommended)--Brightness 100cd---White point (6500k)--set black level (recommemded states mininum 0.2)---gamma 2.20---priority (set automatically to standard, this adjusts gray balance while maintaining the contrast)---then I hit calibrate and it goes through the process.   The results I get are:                                            Target                                               Result

Printing from Adobe Photoshop CS5 on a HP Color Laserjet CP5225 printer

Hi
When I want to print something out from Photoshop CS5 on my printer I get this error.
PCL XL Error
Subsystem: KERNEL
Error: IllegalOperatorSequence
File name: derived_scr/1x55.ndbg.kernel.c
Line number: 1820
My windows system is Windows xp proffesional with servicepack 3.
If I print out from other program I don´t get any errors.
This is a new printer and before I got this I had a HP Color Laserjet CP5225 and there were no
problems printing out from Adobe Photoshop CS5.
I really hope someone can help my quickly because I have some tickets I have to print out for tomorrow.
Kind regards

You posted in the wrong forum, and an admin moved it for you.
Unfortunately the error is from the printer driver, not Photoshop.
Assuming you're using the latest version of Photoshop (12.0.4 or 12.1), you need to contact HP for an updated driver to fix their bugs.
(if you don't have the latest version - go update now)

Photoshop CS5 Color Management

My question has a complicated back story, but here is where I'm at. I'm still a newby when it comes to color management. I'm running Photoshop CS5, Lightroom 3.3, Windows 7 64-bit, Dell Studio XPS desktop, and a new Dell U2311H monitor. I really struggled several months ago trying to learn color management and Photoshop printing work flow, and may have made an error during that process that created my situation. When I attach a new monitor (or different monitor), all of my images in Bridge, Photoshop, and Lightroom display with a strong pink/magenta cast. Images displayed by applications that are not color managed look normal. Once I calibrate the new/different monitor (with Spyder2Express), and reboot, the color managed images display normally. If I go to the Control Panel, and assign another profile (such as sRGB IEC61966-2.1) as the default profile for the monitor, all images continue to display normally. If I go to the Control Panel, and disassociate ALL profiles from the monitor, the images displayed by Bridge, Photoshop and Lightroom again display with a strong pink/magenta cast.
If no profile has been assigned to the monitor on which Photoshop is going to display an image, what does Photoshop do that might result in a pink/magenta image? Might I have a corrupted profile somewhere, or might I have miscoded something in Color Management that is causing the condition? If I need to provide some additiional info, please let me know what info is needed.
Thanks for any assistance..

Andrew, thanks so much for taking the time to respond. I believe I found
and corrected my problem last night. When I attempted to do my own printing
from Photoshop last summer, I experimented a lot as I tried to figure out
the work flow. I discovered last night that I had apparently introduced an
error into the Monitor Color settings under Color Settings. The RBG Work
Space under Monitor Color was set to "Monitor RBG - xxxxx", where xxxxx was
the profile for the Epson paper I was experimenting with last summer! I
suspect that Protoshop was using that profile when I didn't provide any
other profile for the display. I changed that setting to "Monitor RBG -
sRBG", and my problem (the strong magenta casts when displaying images
without profiling the monitor) is gone.
I have been using the Spyder2Express for the past couple of years, and
usually work with a monitor I have previously calibrated with the Spyder.
This magenta problem only showed up when I switched to a new monitor, and
displayed images before running the first calibration. I wanted to resolve
the magenta problem, however, to determine whether it might be connected to
two other problems I have involving color management. The first was my
attempt last summer to print on a "hand me down" Epson 2200 printer. I
finally got the work flow figured out, but was never able to eliminate a
slight magenta cast from some of my prints. I tried printing from three
computers, using two operating systems, downloaded the 2200 driver and paper
profiles numerous times, printed on two different Epson papers, printed test
prints of the same image on two other printers (without the slight magenta
cast). I've given up on the 2200 for now!
My latest concern, which really prompted my renewed interest in color
management, is my latest monitor calibration. I just purchased a Dell
U2311H, and calibrated it with the Spyder2Express. At the end of the
calibration/profiling process, the Spyder provides a before/after view.
With other monitors, I've always felt that the calibration/profiling process
improved the test image. With the Dell U2311H, however, it appears to my
eyes that the "before" image looks super, while the "after" image appears to
have a yellowish, or yellowish-green, cast, and the after image is also
"lighter", giving the image a bit of a "washed out" look.
Any suggestions on what I might try next?
Thanks again for your help, Andrew. By the way, I read the two articles you
sent links for. I especially enjoyed the article on matching display and
prints. I'll keep rereading that one until it all soaks in!

My Photoshop CS5 color shifts where CS3 does not...

I've been having problems with my current version of Photoshop (CS5) and its "save for web and devices" option. All photos saved for web are significantly color-shifted - more contrasty in some cases, but oddly washed out in others. I've tried altering settings in the "saved for web" feature to no avail.
Even stranger, to my mind, the compressed photos only display the shifted colors when sent through email or posted on-line - not when looking at them in photoshop.
By chance, I recently had to "save for web" some photos using my laptop's CS3 - and here's the rub - they were perfect. No color shift whatsoever. What's more, the settings for my CS3 "save for web" are identical to the CS5 settings. I'm completely flummoxed now, and have taken to transferring photo I need saved for web to my laptop and using the CS3, but this still seems like madness to me.
I know this is a long shot, and of course there are too many variables to be accounted for, but has anyone encountered a color-shift problem with CS5 in partcular? One that does not appear in CS3?
Maybe I should completely reinstall my CS5 and see what happens.
sigh.

Compare what you have in edit >> color settings
then also in save for web >> preview
Most major web browsers now recognize color profiles which is good so mac & pc look alike, btu you may be viewing without profiles depending on what else you are using to view your images.

Photoshop CS5 color problem

Hello Photoshoppers,
I hope you guys can help me out with a problem i am facing for a few months now. I still haven't found a solution for it.
I was buzzy with a tutorial from the megazine "Webdesigner". The left side is the document i just started. The right side is the .psd that came from the CD which is delivered with the webdesigner megazine for learning purposes. This is a screenshot i made from it. As you can see there is a difference in the colors. Both files are .psd. When i use the 'eyedropper tool' and compare the color codes they are the same.
Here a second example:
A document i created from scratch. I saved it for the web (.png) and put it side by side.
On the left side the .psd document, and on the right side the .png that i saved for the web.
Again the same colors when i use the 'eyedropper tool'.
I use Photoshop CS5 with a Macbook Pro 15
I hope you guys can help me out with this.

Left side:
Right Side:
If i stay with the top image.
The left side: Adobe RGB (1998)
The right side: sRGB IEC61966-2.1

Photoshop CS5 | Vivenza works, Silver Efex and Color Efex do not. Can you help?

I have Photoshop CS5 and purchased the Adobe tool suite. The first year all the tools worked and now only the tool Vivenza works. All the other such as Silver Efex and Color Efex do not work. Can you help?

Hi kilotwelve,
Sorry the plug-ins aren't working for you right now.
You might try reinstalling them and seeing if that helps, otherwise I'd go check with Google to get the working versions that work with CS5.
Hope this helps,
Regards
Pete
