Title: Color off
Post by: jmagill on July 14, 2013, 10:09:15 PM
Okay. New small problem.

Working in Photoshop saving files as usual. Today I am getting color changes. Too saturated and too bright. I can print the same file in Photoshop and get the correct color. Same settings both programs. I am assuming I some how saved a profile or something when I was tweeking another file in Qimage. How do I clear this? Or is it even what is wrong.

More info. The entire folder in Qimage  has the off color. If I open the same folder in Windows or Photoshop the color is correct.

Good morning,
We need information from you first, please.
"Saving files as usual" in what format?
TIF PSD, JPG???

Is there a color space that PS is using and when you save the file, is that color space carried along in the file? (Embedded)?
Have you done a VIEW/ REBUILD THUMBS in Qimage?

When you hover the mouse pointer over a thumbnail image in Qimage, what does it read in the hot bar, lower left of the Thumbnails?

Let's start there!!
See screen snaps.... Does your information have asterisks too?

Fred

Okay I see the problem now I need to fix it. The ICC is not correct when I look at it in Qimage.

I saw that from looking at your screenshots. I am saving as tiffs.

Glad you found the problem, but sometimes it is helpful for others to find out your solution.
We all  learn from sharing information.
Of course, it's up to you...
Even if it is "pilot error", we all do that stuff too.
