Ian Cartwright Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 My nice subtle skin tones, especially reds in ears and shadow areas appear saturated in PTE. I am working in sRGB. I haven't noticed it before, so I can't work out the cause. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegee Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Check Edit_Colour Settings to make sure that it is not changing from sRGB to something else without a warning?Post a JPEG so that someone can check it for you?DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Cartwright Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Hi Dave,Will do as you suggest, but don't know where to find colour settings. Edit file opens the image in Photoshop where it looks fine. Help appreciated.Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is another thread in this forum with a similar problem and they found their images were unspecified.Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegee Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 In ps.In the menu click on EDIT and in the drop down colour settings is at the bottom.Are you using anything in addition to (before) ps?DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Cartwright Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I was looking for something I did wrong or haven't done in PTE and you are wanting me to check the original image in Photoshop. It has sRGB assigned. sRGB is my normal working space. I have attached a word document with both screenshots for comparison.I seem to recall coming across a desaturate the images option in PTE some time ago, but I couldn't find it again. Perhaps it was for DVD output, and I only want an exe file in this case.Is there nowhere in PTE to specify the colour space? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fh1805 Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 The last was a jpeg, but I still can't see it. Can you access the image?Ian,It's a three step process:Browse to select the file on your computer that you want to attach"Attach This File" button to upload that file to the forum server"Add to Post" link (over at far right) - to insert the html code in the postregards,Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Cartwright Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Thanks, Peter. I was about to say I had done exactly as you said, but I mustn't have, as I can now see the jpeg is there. So, at last, something which demonstrates the difference in my images when viewed in PS and PTE. I want them to look as they do in PSIan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegee Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Ian,Now add the original JPEG (or one giving the same problem) to a post in the same way?Maximum size 3Mb.DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Cartwright Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 As requested, here is the original, which also looks too red in Windows Explorer. This suggests, I suspect, that there is indeed something happening to it in its transition through Photoshop, or even Lightroom.Appreciating your help.

xahu34 Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Ian,Is your monitor calibrated with color profile different from sRGB?Regards,Xaver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Cartwright Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Duplicated posts so removed one. This removed the jpeg, so here it is again. The monitor is calibrated using an X-rite I-1 sensitometer, which I think means it is not resulting in a sRGB profile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xahu34 Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Ian,I am using an Eizo monitor set to sRGB. On my system, your image (with profile sRGB) is always to be seen in the rather red version: with PTE, with Photoshop, with XnView (color management turned on or off). So the red looking presentation is the correct one in this case. Maybe that your image has been transformed from some other color space (perhaps AdobeRGB) to sRGB in an incorrect way (replacing the profile without changing the color values of the pixels). I wonder why Photoshop (which is a color managed application) on your machine shows it differently. A remark on PTE: PTE is not color manged; look here and follow the links.Regards,Xaver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Cartwright Posted September 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Thanks for taking the trouble Xaver. I shoot raw in Adobe 98. I have an Eizo monitor also. I am not sure what I can do now. Perhaps I can play around with a colour chart to see which version looks correct. The portrait is not the best image to use as the elements are so variable and subject to taste. I shall be installing CS6 soon, so I may be back to square one anyway.

Ghulya Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 No we did not, I don't make absolutly "calibrate" (my) monitor, because after several "sensor" I think paraphernalia is, literaly, a scam. The problem is solved when, here case offset printing, you are sure to work with the same service or typography. Only after you have tried and tried, you can "calibrate" the colors. The thing is long and I stop here and I’m not wizard...Viceversa, in PTE, about color rendering to exe or video, it is prosy. Adobe 98-99-2000... sRGB, hyper ultra et etc ? Make non sense. Please takes an image, scaling and you create four duplicates at same page resolution (1280x720 etc.) each of these (thumbnails) images you make a saturation step; first image X, second -XX etc. Assigned value that best fits in PTE, will be the "focus" of saturation limit for usage with (all images) in Project that you want.Of course in addition to Pte, you have the color (problem) of the light and the lamp of projector, and the screen (other problem). Last but not least vision that everyone has of the "color". Saturated or less saturated so. A little Hell for all photograhers, viedomakers, ptemaker…etc.Da CamposSample Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
