Photoshop CS 2 Work Area Colour Bug?

[BrightSpark]

This is driving me nuts!

When i open a psd or jpeg in PS, its like it reduces the contrast and saturation for the file in the work area, yet it saves at the correct levels.

At first i altered an image till it was correct then thought PS was saving oversaturated images. But for example if im working on an image then bring up Save for Web i can see it the correct colout there.

Any ideas?

Edit>Color Settings>Color Management Off. I think that should help you, as well as changing your work area to RGB or whatever you're saving images as.

Nope, doesnt make any difference. I could have sworn it worked briefly earlier when i was trying to fix the colour profiles. Check this out .. same work space profile and embeded profile in the saved previewed version.

I had that problem before! The only way I could fix it was to go to (well i use photoshop 7 so it might be in a different spot now) Edit/Color Settings and set the RGB drop down to sRGBwhatever (or whatever your monitor is)... it was on Adobe RGB. Problems were fixed after I chagned that.

Edit > Color Settings > Intent > Perceptual

you have to have 'Advanced Mode' checked in the 'Color Setting' window in order to see 'Intent'.

found that over at DQS. hope it works.

That way doesn't work for everything mike... but just turn color management off instead of changing it to something different... that's work for me since PS5.5

[mlkedave]

yea i tend to turn color management off too but i heard a lot of guys were having this same problem and Edit > Color Settings > Intent > Perceptual was what they were using to fix it.

Hmmm .. ive got it close but the workspace is still a little bright.

Its now set to sRGB rather than Adobe RGB.

Never had this problem with any previous version :trout:

yeah, and any ways sRGB is the best colorprofile in adobe, so even if your screen is not messed, you should stick with it :thumb:
