Color preview problem in CS2




By Mini Me - usenet poster

" "
I've a problem with viewing images with colourspace Adobe RGB (1998), which
looks very strange to me.

I have calibrated my monitor with this test image:

#

All steps looks ??quidistant (properly distributed and distinctable). As
bridge says, there is the Adobe RGB colourspace included.

If I load this image in CS, then they grey scale looks correct, but the
colours are clipped at the high end. Espacially the three red bars on the
right side are quite indistinctable. If I switch to "proof" with my monitor
colourprofile, the picture looks correctly.

Almost the same happens with photographs from my Canon 300D ("Rebel"), taken
with Adobe RGB. Bridge also shows the pictures with to strong colours.

Most other programs do show the test image correct, e. g. MS-IE, XnView,
IrfanView. Only the "Preview" of Windows XP does also show that squeezed
colors.

Is there no way to show Adobe RGB pictures in CS2 correctly after loading?

Of course I can.

That, indeed, I cannot do by eye.

Color management software then

Anyway - your answer does meet my point. But thank you.

Colour space ( a constant) isn't the same as monitor profile (will change
over time on the same monitor) and it sounds like your MP is either not
correct or not loading correctly. You will see the correct colours in non PS
aps because they are not colour managed and use the embedded ICC profiles
for display information.

Are you using another "profile loader" as well as Adobe Gamma, if so remove
Adobe Gamma from start up.(You don't want two profiles loaded)
Also, in Edit policies set to "Preserve embedded profiles"

You cannot calibrate your monitor by eye with a test image.
You need one of the devices (Spyder/Monaco etc) to measure the output of
your monitor and create a profile. The profile tells Adobe that a color
that should be a certain shade of green actually measures out to whatever
you monitor can put out. Color management software then makes the
translations so that your first print should be a reasonable, but not
necessarily the best possible, match to colors you see on screen.
Soft proofing as you describe is just plain unreliable for general use. It
is only useful for a few specific purposes and even then is not very
accurate.
