 |
|
I'm having an issue with photos looking amazing on my iMac but on PC or iPhone they look terrible! Like skin tones are green or yellow. This only happens about 5-10% of time. I don't know if it's my workflow or actions I'm using or I need a monitor calibration? My prints come out pretty good from WHCC.
Suggestions?
My workflow is: RAW sRGB--> LR (which is 16bit in ProPhoto)-->Photo, Edit in CS5-->I Save As in photoshop as sRGB w/ Embedded profile checked at bottom.
I'm wondering if I should just hit Save in PS and go back into LR then export there?
Thank you for your responses, I really appreciate any help

I'm not particularly cluey about this sort of stuff (hopefully others will chip in), but one thing to look at is what you are doing in ProPhoto. You're going from a smaller color space (sRGB), to a bigger one (ProPhoto), then back to a smaller one.
If you're adding lots of interesting colours while in ProPhoto, these could be lost on the conversion back to sRGB.
There's an option to preview different color spaces under view>proof setup and view>proof colors. Maybe that can help.
Also make sure that you're not inadvertently going to CMYK or anything like that. I've fallen for that one.
Let us know if you sort it out, it's an interesting one which can help us all. |

ProPhoto I would imagine is your problem, it is a large gamut space and represents a lot more colours than any of the others you mention, as renata suggests (I think) I too believe your problem may come in the conversion between such large gamut spaces.

It's not about Mac or PC, its about the color profile you are using on your graphics card and the calibration of your monitor.
