Why are colors oversaturated outside Photoshop?
in [Photoshop Graphics]

From: MSchmidt on 20 Jul 2008 00:24 Why does everything in Photoshop have less color saturation than when I view it outside Photoshop (such as with the WinXP image previewer, or IE, etc.)? Things look fantastic in Photoshop... but outside, there's too much color saturation! :-( Since I use a lot of auto-leveling in Photoshop, I'm assuming the culprit is not Photoshop, but perhaps outside of it. Color profile related, perhaps. But I really don't know much about that.

I had similar problem. i solved it when i realized that my camera's color profile is set to Adobe RBG and the windows uses default RBG.. to solve this problem you can choose "save for the web" option or change settings in your camera..

Tell me like I'm a 5 yr old. ;) "Tarun Chawla" <justtj(a)gmail.com> wrote in message news:aa29f3a1-66b3-4623-b4e7-42393d4f3520(a)c2g2000pra.googlegroups.com...

From: MSchmidt on 20 Jul 2008 09:30 Turns out only the Windows image previewer tool (what gets loaded by default when you open a JPG) is oversaturating colors. I was wrong. IE and Firefox display the images correctly as they appear in Photoshop. So either : 1. The WinXP image viewer has its own internal color management screwing things up. 2. Firefox/IE can read the color profile info (AdobeRGB) while the WinXP image viewer strips it out. Right? If so, which of the two is it? I'd really like the image viewer to quit oversaturating colors. > "Tarun Chawla" <justtj(a)gmail.com> wrote in message > news:aa29f3a1-66b3-4623-b4e7-42393d4f3520(a)c2g2000pra.googlegroups.com... > > I had similar problem. > i solved it when i realized that my camera's color profile is set to > Adobe RBG and the windows uses default RBG.. > to solve this problem you can choose "save for the web" option or > change settings in your camera..

Read the chapter on "Color Management" in your manual. Adobe Photoshop uses profile-based color management. Other programs don't. You can use the "Monitor RGB" setting in your Proof Setup to preview how your images will look outside of Photoshop. -- Photography, kink, polyamory, shareware, and more: all at http://www.xeromag.com/franklin.html |
