Color shifts

[Breezy]

Hoping you can help me with a color shifting issue.
I use LR and PS to edit images. I am working on a newborn and merged two images together (to keep baby safe) Once merged the PS would not let me save into LR as I normally do. The colors look fine in PS but when I go to create a collage in Fotofusion the PS one is definitely muted in colors compared to the LR image. The full basket is PS the close up is LR.
They are both saved in SRGB from what I can tell.

This isn't filling me full of confidence.  Please check this way.

OK sorry just got this and it shows the sRGB IEC info. That is what you are looking for correct?

 

[Damien Symonds]

Ok, that's great news. Now, could you show me a screenshot showing the two files in Fotofusion?

[Breezy]

OK I am trying to get a screen shot but for some reason my computer has stopped putting them in the "screenshot" folder. I pasted it into PS and it looked great. But trying to get it into paint so that I can show you what it looks like in FF. Sorry.

 

[Breezy]

HTH's. thanks again

 

[Damien Symonds]

Thanks so much.

And to provide comparison, could you open both side-by-side in Photoshop and show me a screenshot of that as well?

[Breezy]

OK here it is pasted into Paint first

[Breezy]

Now here is the ss pasted back into PS which is NOT what I see as a regular screen in PS so I am providing the setting when making a  new canvas.

[Damien Symonds]

I'm confused.  Please take both screenshots exactly the same way.

[Breezy]

The first one for PS is identical to the FF for SS purposes.

[Damien Symonds]

Great.

I see no problem here.  It's just a simple matter of Fotofusion not being a colour-managed program.

OK so if I export the announcement in FF at srgb to the lab I should get images back that look like the ones in PS/LR versus the images I see in FF correct?

http://regex.info/exif.cgi This is a link Fotofusion sent to me and it look interesting but I have no clue how to read it. Does it tell me what I need to know? I plugged those 2 images into it and you could tell which one was done in PS versus LR etc... and they said color embedding was sRGB but further down there was more info. Again not really sure what I am looking at lol I greatly appreciate all of your help!

[Damien Symonds]

Oh good grief. Ignore that nonsense.  They don't know what they're talking about either.

MUST you use this Fotofusion nonsense?  Why not just make your collages in Photoshop like the rest of us?

Well, it's easy enough to check.  After making the design in FF, open it in Photoshop to check, yes?

[Breezy]

OK yeah I didn't think about that lol. FF is much quicker than PS for collages etc... unfortunately lol
Well not this time haha with the color hassles. Again I greatly appreciate your help. You have been a God send!

 

[Damien Symonds]

Let me know if it looks ok when you open the design in Photoshop.

[Breezy]

OK it is showing just a tad darker in PS but the colors look good.  Thank you so much for the help. I wonder why I never noticed this before
