 |
|
Hello,
I'm stuck in a predicament. I have a 22" Gateway monitor calibrated with a Pantone Huey PRO and love the results! However, when I compare one photo in Explorer preview and the same one in Photoshop CS2 the colors are completely off. I've tried to assign the hueyPRO profile to my photos, but it still doesn't match what explorer looks like. Theres also a profile listed from my printer, an Epson RX580, and that one still looks different than the photo in explorer preview. I guess my question would be if I'm doing something wrong. What profile should I trust? The ink for this printer is expensive and I was hoping that buying this Huey would prevent misprints... so far it's only confusing me.
Here is a screenshot demonstrating what I mean:

On the left is Photoshop set to the HueyPRO profile, on the right is the same calibrated image in Explorer Preview. Big difference... Any help is appreciated! |

Yeah, that can happen.
PS is colour managed and Explorer isn't.
FYI I couldn't see the difference between the two images on my system.
Have you tried converting the image to sRGB before saving....Oh and do not use the Monitor profile as the working profile in PS that's not the way. Working profile should be sRGB for web stuff or AdobeRGB for print ( the later has a wider gamut and will show up muted as your monitor wont see all the colours (unless you have a Lacie or Eizo) but it will print great). |
