Lightroom and photospop looking different

[Priscillacork]

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

Hi Priscilla, could you do this for me?

[Priscillacork]

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.

 

[Damien Symonds]

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.

[Damien Symonds]

By the way, which web browser do you use; and is it looking ok colour-wise?

[Priscillacork]

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.

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?

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

This is much too small for me to see anything.

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?

[Damien Symonds]

Yes, of course that blue link must say sRGB.

[Priscillacork]

Ok that is something then how do I change that please?

[Damien Symonds]

Just click on it, of course.

[Priscillacork]

unfortunatly no difference to how it looks in photoshop .. but will keep clearing out my drives.

[Damien Symonds]

How many screens attached to your computer?  Just the one?

[Priscillacork]

yes just 1

 

[Damien Symonds]

Ok.  After you've cleared some hard drive space and restarted your computer, go ahead and recalibrate.

[Priscillacork]

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?

[Damien Symonds]

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?

[Priscillacork]

Fuji 160c 2c!!  how do I change this please

[Priscillacork]

 

There is no adobe standard in the drop down

[Damien Symonds]

Crap, that's very weird.

Yeah, you might need to reinstall Photoshop, I'm afraid.
