 Posted: Sun Jul 11, 2010 10:19 am Post subject: Strange behavior in CS5 - Please explain |
 |
|
I use Lightroom 3 and CS5 in my workflow and have just noticed a strange behavior in CS5. I would appreciate any comments that would explain the behavior or help me eliminate it. Thanks.
Environment:
I have a dual monitor system using Lightroom 3 and CS5 in a Vista64 environment.
Workflow:
1. I was sorting and organizing my images with Lightroom.
2. I found an image I liked (colors and composition were great).
3. I selected the image to be opened for editing in CS5.
4. When it opened in CS5, it appeared darker (less vibrant).
5. I thought it might be a difference in the color calibration of my monitors (Lightroom is on monitor #1 and CS5 is on monitor #2), so I decided to drag the image over to monitor #1 to test my theory.
6. Just as I selected the image and started to drag it over to monitor #1, the color changed to match Lightroom.
7. When I released the mouse button to stop dragging the image, the color reverted to the darker (less vibrant) version.
I don't understand why this would occur (obviously I would the more vibrant image). Can anyone explain? I would also appreciate any suggestions that would allow me to "correct" this behavior.
Thanks,
Dan |

What are your colour settings for Photoshop/Lightroom? Are you using RAW files? Do you have embedded profiles in the images?
Welcome to the forums danlaser. I'm afraid we might need more to give any answer.

I'll start with the one question that I can answer with confidence.
1. Am I using RAW files... Yes.
2. What are the color settings for PS and Lightroom? - Good question... where would I confirm settings?
3. Embedded profiles? Another good question. Again, where would I verify?
Sorry for the ignorance. |
