photoshop problem

[blackleopard92]

I am having a wierd problem.

Take a look at the spirals in the first image.

And take a look at the image when I open it for editing.

I
The only thing I remember, which is remotely related is the colur imbalance is the fact that i installed colour profiles for my monitor, after which this started happening.However, I don't know whether it is related to it in any way.


It happens with every image I open, and it has made photoshop useless. And is in process of destroying my new found enthu of making images.

Please help me.

It probably is your monitor colour profile, unload it and just use the standard srgb2.1 profile.

Hey as you can see there it is 66.7% the image not 100% .. maybe it is because of that :confused: not sure..

changing the profile (AdobeRBG1998) corrected it.And I made a new avtar today! :happy

However, I want to get to the roots of problems.THe profile I had was shipped by the company, It generally shouldn't cause problems

A Colour profile is basically a lookup table on how colours should be represented on screen. Some colour profiles arent as accurate as others in all colours, its very hard to explain. To be honest you are best off using sRGB2.1 (or Adobe1998) and adjusting the colour balance on your monitor as virtually everyone else uses these profiles and the general colour range of these profiles is very uniform.

yeah kev.I better switch to sRGB.Although I knew about them, I never reckon they could have such difference.

And usy, Take look at the difference b/w those two pics.They are too different.

I never know u can make bull droppings.Natural talent perhaps?

I switched to sRGB.However, I am yet to find a difference.

srgb2.1 and Adobe1998 are almost identical, I doubt you will notice the difference by eye but srgb2.1 is now the accepted standard profile.

well, a couple of screenshots of 3dmax in action ought to make me feel safe.
