robert_goldstein Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 I use Photoshop 7.0 on an iMac and have saved a scanned film negative as JPEG in order to email it to a friend. I have Mac OS 10.2, and the preview aplication is used by default to display JPEG files. My system display is set to use a calibrated profile for my monitor, and the proof setup in Photoshop is set to use the same profile. When I open the JPEG file in Photoshop, the colors look one way, and when I open it in preview, they look different. I want the image I send to look like it does in Photoshop; that's why I used Photoshop to adjust the color! Forgetting for the moment the differences between my monitor and my friend's, how do I accomplish this?<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis_vener_photography Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 What colorspace are you using? Is it different from the colorspace the file was created in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ray Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 I had this same problem last night. The Preview application must not respect the assigned profiles. I softproofed in PS7 using custom epson profiles from ConeStudios. The display is hardware calibrated and the display and the epson print look identical. But the Preview application is showing really wierd (not subtle) color casts. My advice: Use the softproofing feature of PS7 and ignore the preview application.

robert_goldstein Posted October 31, 2002 Author Share Posted October 31, 2002 Re Ellis Vener's question: I use Adobe RGB(1998) in Photoshop, conmverting the image to that space when it is opened in Photoshop. As far as I know or understand, no color space is embedded in the JPEG version of the file when I use Save As... to create it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack_kennealy Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 Before saving it as a JPEG, do this... <br><br>   Image -> Mode -> Convert to Profile -> sRGB <br><br>and you should have better results with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NK Guy Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 Preview also uses a sophisticated anti-aliasing algorithm by default, though this at least you can turn off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbeebee Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 Do what Jack Kenneally suggests; this will almost certainly solve the problem. At issue, I believe, is the fact that other programs (such as the preview program you're using) are ignoring the Adobe(1998) colorspace profile.
