brad_farwell Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Hi All- A student shot a bunch of jpg images with poor white balance (tungsten lighting and a resulting yellow-orange scene). The strange thing is that in Preview, they look great (nice skin tone, no posterization) and in Photoshop (or bridge, etc.) they show up with big ol' tungsten coloration. We've tried adjusting the color profiles, monkeying around with photoshop and which Conversion engine it uses to try and figure out how to mimic what we're seeing in Preview, and tried shifting Preview to get what we're seeing in Photoshop, with little luck. We can colorbalance the images in Photoshop, but I'd much rather know what is going on. Any help appreciated! Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roger_smith4 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 What is preview? Print preview? Scanner program preview? On your LCD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad_farwell Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 Sorry- Preview the application. (this was the same problem i had searching for information on this online) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad_farwell Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 Further developments- We can get preview to make it look orangey by assigning the adobe 1998 color profile (from the sRGB) but no matter what we do with Photoshop (assigning it to sRGB, dicarding it, etc.) it won't look as good as the initial preview setup.

elliot_n Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 To match Preview assign the monitor profile in Photoshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim_Lookingbill Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Anytime you have white balance inconsistancies between two apps... one color managed (Photoshop) and the other not (Preview), it indicates a bad monitor profile. You need to recalibrate by first loading a canned monitor profile like sRGB or some other one the system installed and running your calibrator as instructed be it eyeball or hardware (EyeOne, Spyder, etc.). What are the RGB readouts in the whites that are suppose to look orangy? How about posting the image so we can see what you're talking about?
