Photoshop :: What Color Space Are Color Lookup Presets
May 15, 2012
I've noticed that if I convert the same image to multiple color spaces and apply a 3D LUT with the new Color Lookup adjustment, the result is noticeably different. From experimenting, it seems that the lookup tables operate on whatever RGB value is given to them no matter what color space.
Is there a certain color space these were optimized for? For instance, would a certain color space give me a more authentic 2-strip look than another because of the space they were sampled in? And if I create my own 3D LUTs, would I have to create a separate one for each color space in order to get a consistent look in all spaces?

When I export RAW files, specifying that I want the output to be in sRGB color space the resulting files have the Adobe RGB color space. The same is true if I specify I want them in ProPhoto. Is this a bug? I have done it successfully in other versions of Lightroom, but not in 4.3.

I've quickly come to admire the new adjustment layer 'color lookup', but I feel the presets are too few.

I've just got a new monitor and i have downloaded an ICC profile to use as i don't have calibration hardware yet. I've loaded it in Windows using color management. My question now is what color 'working space' i should set in Photoshop.
I must say that learning about color has been a steep learning curve for me so I have tried to avoid it as much as i can!!! If a total novice guide on color has been covered in another thread just point me there!

I'm exporting Tiff Prophoto files from Lightroom into PSPX4 for further processing. The images are 1 to 2 stops under exposed when compared to Lightroom's image.I have selected PSPX4 color profile to match LR export color space.
I have tried exporting the Tiffs as sRGB and adode1998 and still the images are under exposed. I have little knowledge about color management and have searched around the web for possible answers, but no luck.

I run three different printing and engraving systems at the same time with my business. Each system needs to have a different color management preset selected or the prints are screwed up. Each time I open a file I have to go to tools..color management ... default settings. and check or change the preset. It seems like half of my day is spent doing this and from time to time I forget and screw up a print. Is there a macro or docker or something that will display what preset is in use on my screen some where and maybe even give me an option to click on it and change the preset? Each file is normally only for one particular system so if there is a way to save the file so that the preset that was used when saving it comes back up when it is opened would be useful too.

I got my monitor calibrated/profiled already and I am ready to work on some pictures. Do I need to fiddle with color settings in Photoshop? I bring them in from RAW to photoshop as ProPhoto. Do I need to do anything else?

my 20d is set to sRGB. My woring space in photoshop is set to sRGB. When I take a photo and bring it in, the exif just say "RGB" - not sRGB and not Adobe. So I'm no sure what "RGB" is. But anyway, I'm trying to avoid having to "Image/Mode/Convert to sRGB" and no matter what I do, unless I MANUALLY do that option from the menu, my images always look crummy grey.
Ok so I thought, "I'll create a batch process" so I created an action with a file/open/image/mode/convert and selected sRGB, did a close on the file, stopped the action. I tried applying it to each image in a directory. They STILL came out grey. But when I manually selected the option, they looked great.
What's going on here? I don't want to have to manually convert each image like that. Why can't I seem to get my photoshop environment to ONLY work with sRGB?

concept of color spaces and monitor profiles..
Lemme talk about the sypmtoms I often suffer.
A lot of the time, I wil create an image in photoshop (and in mind, all of the work that I do is 100% for the web) and somewhere in that image will be a nice blue color but when i export that image, it will be purple, not the blue that i had made.
Somehow, at this point, I think i have everything all goofed up between my monitor, adobe gamma and photoshops color profiles.
For instance, i was looking in a book of color and found this nice yellow tone (y30, 0 0 0) that looked wonderful on paper, similar to colors i see online.. I transalted that to #FFFAB2 in photoshop, looked right.. I then went to my web editor, made the BG of a table that color.. and it now appears to be a murky maize color, not the light grey/yellow at all i had aimed for.
the color spaces in photoshop and its relationship to adobe gamma and maybe some pointers on how to set this all up so that it fits the right bill? I know this is a terrbily vague question, but my understanding of this is also vague and i would love some blanks filled in. My monitor is a sony trinitron MultiScan E540, 21", 2 years old.

This is an InDesign/Photoshop error but the problem itself is coming from Photoshop.
I made a silhouette pic in Photoshop CS6 after rasterizing some layers and what I have is a black background with a white figure in the foreground. I could not convert it to a JPEG, but I opened it up in Bridge and I wanted to import it into InDesign, but then I got an error message that said:
"This file uses an unsupported color space. Only RGB, CMYK, L*a*b*, grayscale, indexed and bitmap formats are supported by the Photoshop filter"
I tried to fix it in Photoshop but there's no way to unlock the Background layer in order to edit it.

I have a photo that was taken as RAW with a color space of Adobe RGB.
I would like to submit this photo to a competition. The competition prefers the photo be a JPEG in sRGB.
I have edited the photo, so I don't want to start over. I believe I could change the color space when I brought the photo into PS.
Is there a way I can change the color space to sRGB and still use the editing I have aleady done?

I've set up a customized color space, named it and saved it. The one pref I always change is that I work in Adobe 1998. So I'll be working in PS and then see that when I go to save an image, the box checked at the bottom of the Open/Save dialog is sRGB. I go the the color space dialog and low and behold it says North American General Purpose. How did it get switched?

The color space I use as a default throughout CS6 for RGB is Adobe RGB 1998. This is because I do not want all my RGB work to be in sRGB. Here is a simple workflow I am having problems with:
1. I set up a new web project and use the sRGB color space
2. I export the file as a flat PNG via 'Save To Web'. In the settings, 'convert to sRGB' is selected.
3. I open the file and color is off. I do not get a color space dialog when opening the file.
4. I need to then go into Assign Profile and assign the sRGB color profile, then...
5. Convert profile to convert to sRGB.
If I do the above but save out a JPEG...
1. When opening the jpeg, again no color warning dialog.
2. When I go to Assign Profile, the default is set to 'Do not color manage this document'.
The above also happens outside of Save to Web, as when I save Layer Comps to PNG files.But...if I save a JPEG file via Save As, the sRGB color space is correctly tagged when I open the file. Odd.Why are not Save to Web's save sRGB color space actually saving the color space in either PNG or JPEG formats?
Why do I get much different results between going from Assign Profile to Convert Profile? I thought Assign was assigning that color profile without converting the actual document, where Convert actually changes the image. I played with the advanced options in convert, but still cannot get anything super close to the original file.

I shoot Nikon and use Capture NX2 as my RAW converter. I then save my conversion as a TIFF and move into Photoshop CS6 for all of my editing and processing.
Here is my question: I have an Epson 3880 printer and i really like it. Ive started making my own prints and ive found that the ability to tweak the images is really an advantage vs. having a lab print them for me. Ive read quite a bit and seem to get conflicting positions.
Its seems as if sRGB is best for internet whereas Adobe RGB (1998) is best for prints. However, im a bit confused by all of the articles ive read. If i want the best of both worlds would the following be a good workflow?
1. Shoot in RAW
2. Convert RAW image to a TIFF in Capture NX2 with the Adobe RGB (1998) color space (I use Capture NX2 as my RAW converter)
3. Move the file to Photoshop CS6 and fully edit
4. Print the image
5. Convert the image to the sRGB color space and save as a JPEG
6. Post to web (i.e. Flickr)
Does that sound like a good plan or would you recommend starting and ending in the sRGB color space. Ive heard that changing the color space in an image slightly denigrates it ?

lately I;ve been reading some cs3 books and am a bit confused about color spaces. The book says to keep your color space the same throughout your entire work flow.
My camera is set to SRGB
Lightroom is SRgb..but default is pro photo rgb
And I have cs3 set to RGB.
Is this a good way to do it? I never print really all my work just goes straight to the web, and I nearly always shoot raw.
Also If I was wanting to print, at what stage would I change the color space of a photo?

I am converting a raw image.
1. First in ProPhoto, passing it to PS CS3, accepting ProPhoto (against the working color space), and then I convert it in sRGB in Edit.
2. Next, converting it in ProPhoto, but when CS3 receives it, I ask for immediate conversion in sRGB, the working space.
3. Third, I change the color sapace in ACR to sRGB and pass the image to CS3.
Of course, the ACR adjustment parameters are identical in the three processes.
1 and 3 are almost identical (a difference layer does show differences, but I don't see them on the results without huge boosting, and that shows quite random, noise-like difference).
However, 1 and 2 are *vastly* different. The difference, boosted by 2 EV clearly shows the original texture, which is determined by a pecularity in the blue channel.
What is the explanation for the difference between the two conversion from ProPhoto to sRGB?
The conversion engine is Adobe (the conversion immediately at receiving the image does not ask me for the engine).

the TIFF output from our large office printer cannot be opened with photoshop? im just told its unsupported. how can a £2000 design suite (dont even get me started on why the english have to pay more than double the US pay for the same product) not open basic TIFF files? the basic windows one can open them fine and i have to print them to pdf to import into photoshop
this is ridiculous - is there a work around or do i just not use TIFF from that printer/scanner any more?

I'm using PS 6.0 and I've been wondering how to make the color ranges/histograms etc. equal between two different images.
I'm making a birthday card, I have a backgound picture where I want to merge the face of the birthday hero, but obviously plain merge would look rather clumsy.
So I need to make the two "pictures look the same", like if the pictures were taken in similar conditions. All the grains, color depths, noise, saturation etc....

I set up my photoshop 7.01 with the default color space that was offered.
I did not pay attention to the fact that my digital pics are taken in adobe1998.
Now, I have 290 .NEF (Nikon Electronic Format, or proprietary Nikon RAW) files, which I can all view in Photoshop, thanks to the appropriate plugins. But every time I open a file, I get the message about the different color space and do I want to:
- open the image with the embedded color space
- conver to the workspace color space
- no color manage
I'm trying to create actions to batch-process these files. Because of this prompt at the opening of each file, I cannot automate the actions.
how do I change the color space to match that of the files?

I'm creating images in Photoshop and printing to a Xerox solid ink printer. If I print in greyscale everything is fine, but if I have an image that has both color and B&W portions, the greys come out green (or brown depending on whether I print from CMYK or RGB). Is there any way to have a portion of an image in a color space and others in greyscale?
what I might try as far as the printer? If I print CMYK the greys come out really green but all the other colors are good. If I print RGB the greys come out browner (which is a little better), but other colors get muddy.
Is there any way to get a printer to stop trying to "interpret" greys as a color when in a color mode?

Is there a way to apply a color to selected objects without having to search for the color in the color palette. So say if I am working with an image that has multiple colors but want to use only one of the colors in that image, is there a way to apply it without having to create or add it to the palette.

I’m wondering about color spaces and how they affect working with BW digital images and digital printing (working in PS and LR).
I’ve been thinking that the grays are probably more limited by the bit depth (65,536 shades of gray for 16-bit vs. 256 shades for 8-bit.) than by whether or not you’re working in ProPhotoRGB or AdobeRGB, but that’s just a guess on my part. Does these two color spaces really better than the other, specifically for BW images and digital printing (I'm printing to an Epson 3880)?

If I initially open a smartobject from ACR into PS CS6 using one color space, eg. sRGB, should it then be possible to click back into ACR and change color space to Adobe RGB ???
This is important to me, since working most of the time in sRGB, batch editing lot's of files (for timelapse-video, hence sRGB), but sometimes it may be nessecary to go back and use Adobe RGB to make a best possible print of one of the stills.
This is not working for me. I thought I should be able to do absolutely non-destructive editing when working with smartobjects from ACR, but this may seem to not be the case.

I calibrated my monitor and is using sRGB as working space in photoshop cs2.
If I open an adobeRGB tagged photo, photoshop says profile mismatch. If I choose to convert adobeRGB to sRGB, would some colors get clipped by the smaller sRGB space?
Suppose I want my working space to be adobeRGB, what are all the color management related things I need to change, in addition to choosing adobeRGB as the working space in photoshop? Do I need to change the monitor calibration process?
