KK2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I have recently downloaded Windows 10 (which seems like a huge mistake already) and then had to reinstall my photoshop cs5. Ever since then I had this problem...Open image in Camera Raw as usual. Image looks great, everything's normal. I click on "open image" in photoshop and then BAM something goes terribly wrong with my image color, it's disgustingly dark and "off" I read several tutorials online (elsewhere) and so I messed with my color profile settings over and over to no avail. Should I just upgrade to a newer version of photoshop to be compatible with windows 10 or is this strictly a color profile issue? I'm using Adobe RGB 1998 (I know) but what do I do!?

Damien Symonds Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I'm running CS5 on Win10 just fine. How many screens do you have, and which calibrator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 One screen and don't kill me but no calibrator. I haven't had any issues in 6 years and I know it's time to get one but literally 5 days ago I wasn't having this problem until I downloaded windows 10.

Damien Symonds Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 That's ok, I was actually going to blame the calibrator, but if you don't have one, it can't be the culprit What about if you open a jpeg file into Photoshop? (No ACR involvement). Does it look ok? Is this problem only happening with raw files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 Jpeg's (with no ACR involvement) are looking awful too! Extremely red and saturated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 But they look ok in Bridge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 Yep! They look great in bridge and then as soon as I open image in photoshop...BAM wonky color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 May I see that comparison? A screenshot of Bridge, and one of PS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 Ok so this is interesting. I saved the image all wonky how It looks in PS then I wanted to save the ACR raw version (which looks fine to me) and I saved it, pulled the two images up side by side in windows picture viewer and they are identical (insert sad face) So to recap: they look fine in bridge but if I save an image from bridge (bypassing PS the image looks just as crappy as everything else does when pulled into PS) WHAT IN THE WORLD. Oh and as I'm viewing the image I've attached for you (viewing on the ask damien page) it looks totally fine (granted it's a raw sooc image that needs help) however it looks fine (not the weird saturated) on the ask damien site which is exactly how it looks in bridge (fine.) So this isn't even an accurate depiction of how messed up it looks in photoshop! WEIRD!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Remind me why you're using Adobe RGB? I need screenshots, not the images themselves. I know the images are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) Well...Yesterday I was following some tutorial online that suggested using RGB. I also know that my bridge has been using AdobeRGB1998 for as long as I can remember and never had any problems?

KK2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 Ofcourse I'm trying to screenshot bridge but if I pull that screenshot into photoshop it turns it red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 After you've fixed the colour space, try these solutions: http://www.damiensymonds.net/2015/09/black-boxes-and-other-weird-behaviour.html I'm not optimistic, though, to be honest.

KK2016 Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 Thanks for taking the time to help. I've read everything and tried everything it seems to no avail. I I have a PC desktop running Windows 10 and Photoshop cs5. It is over 2 years old, and has 4GB of RAM. Its hard drive has 428GB free out of 1081GB. The last time I shut down was earlier today. I rarely run a cleanup program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 I fixed it. Downloaded the latest photoshop and followed this video, it worked. I will say from this day forward I vow to always use SRGB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
