Priscillacork Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Hi , I switched my computer on today to find that lightroom and Photoshop are looking very different from each other ( photoshop showing very magenta) . I can see in the right hand cnr of Photoshop that the image is in SRGB and also that it is set to north america general purpose 2 and when I go into lightroom and check external editing preferences it also says SRGB. Do you have any ideas for what to check that I may have accidentally changed. I very much appreciate your help Kind Regards Priscilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Hi Priscilla, could you do this for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priscillacork Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 I have a PC desktop running windows 10 and Photoshop cs6. It is over 2 years old, and has 16GB of RAM. Its hard drive has 48GB free out of 118GB. The last time I shut down was just before posting this thread. I rarely run a cleanup program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 That's a small drive, and 48GB is a small amount of free space in the modern context. I urge you to run Glary right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 By the way, which web browser do you use; and is it looking ok colour-wise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priscillacork Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 C drive is just my programs working and super desky hold photos etc . I use firefox as my browser and that looks fine. I will run Glary now and see if that has an effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priscillacork Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 I just noticed that opening from camera raw the lefthand cnr says rgb1998? while opening from lightroom is SRGB could this be a clue as to the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand The Working SSD drive is clearly a problem too. Make sure you clear a hell of a lot of space off that.

Priscillacork Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 Hopefully this image is better : but basically when I open in camera raw it says RGB 1998 both in camera raw and photoshop BUT when opening from lightroom it says SRGB at bottom left. Should they all be saying SRGB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Yes, of course that blue link must say sRGB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Ok. After you've cleared some hard drive space and restarted your computer, go ahead and recalibrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Priscillacork Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 I have used the clean up program , taken files off drives and recalibrated .. I am at a loss. Should I try uninstalling and reinstalling photoshop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Now, are you sure you're using the same profile in both programs? In ACR, go to the Camera Profile tab: And see what it says the profile is. Eg mine says this: What does yours say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
