Jess0509 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I don't know what I've done. Looks like everything is in sRGB, but something's wrong somewhere. Help? Something is obviously wrong since Bridge looks much more saturated than photoshop. I'm not even sure I've posted this correctly. **I have a PC laptop running Windows 10 and Photoshop CC17. It is under 12 months old, and has 16GB of RAM. Its hard drive has 625GB free out of 979GB. The last time I shut down was just before posting this thread. I run a cleanup program about once a month.

Jess0509 Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 Son of a... I just found another post addressing what I think is the same issue. Off to read it now. I swear I searched before posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jess0509 Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 I've checked color space and everything I could think of. Not enough coffee in the world for my brain to problem solve today. Could it be calibration related? I dont understand why it would look different between the two programs on the same screen if both are in sRGB.

Damien Symonds Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 In your title you said Bridge, but in your screenshot it's ACR. How does Bridge compare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess0509 Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 Sorry, I meant ACR. Bridge is about the same. I don't know if I have been staring at this for too long or what. Can you see the differences or is it just me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess0509 Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 Just for funzies I tried another image. I still see it a big difference. I calibrated about 3 weeks ago, still using the Spyder 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Interesting, so Photoshop is the odd one out, eh? Have you checked Photoshop's Color Settings (in the Edit menu) to make sure they're still on "North America General Purpose 2" the way they should be?

Jess0509 Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 Yep, Checked that earlier.. will recheck now just to be on the safe side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Darn it. You're a troublemaker, Jess. Do you have an external monitor attached, or is it just your laptop screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess0509 Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 LOL.. right? External, of course.. I know better than that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jess0509 Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 They seem to match on the laptop screen, it's not an IPS display though so I can't edit there. What is happening?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess0509 Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 I hooked up a random monitor we had here in the house. I don't understand this at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Gee, interesting. I think your next step has to be recalibration of the external screen. It might even be worth doing this first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess0509 Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 Will do. Have to pick the kids up from school soon, so it will be a bit before I can get back here with results. Thank you so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 No worries, I'm going out for a ride with mine. Back later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess0509 Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 (edited) Alright. I uninstalled (including completely deleting the Datacolor folder), restarted the computer, reinstalled the spyder software & recalibrated (using your page with instructions). I was too frustrated to deal with it yesterday, so I did all that this morning with a clear head (trying to avoid violence :D). I have nicer colors.. I guess I needed to calibrate again. I think my monitor is dying. I used to be able to wait longer between calibrations, but it was off only after maybe 3 weeks. Possible good news, I have a new monitor coming tomorrow sometime. But I would like to rule out any other problems that may be causing this so I don't set up the new toy & only have the same thing happen. Anyway, after calibration and everything, I am still getting the same results.

Jess0509 Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 Seems if I decrease the saturation by -13 and vibrance by -8, it matches up from ACR to PS. Are there settings in ACR somewhere that would automatically change that before opening that I could have changed at some point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Which one does your print match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess0509 Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 Haven't printed these, haven'e even gotten to edit them yet . I'll pull up one that I have printed really quick and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess0509 Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 Seems to match the ACR better than Photoshop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
