Hi,

I have a home-built PC with an ATI video card and Dell flat panel monitor, connected by DVI.

If I import a JPG from my Pro1, it looks the same on

  • Windows Picture & Fax Viewer
  • Windows Explorer
  • Internet Explorer
  • Jasc Paint Shop Pro 9


But if I pull it into Photoshop Elements 4 with the default colour setting of "Optimise for screen", it is much warmer. It looks as if someone has turned the saturation up.

If, however, I set up elements to have "No colour management", I get a picture that looks the same as all the other applications listed above.

All of which would be okay, except that when I pull in a CRW to PSE4, I tune it to look nice in Camera RAW, it then gets transferred to PSE4 and looks all dull and washed out when on the "No colour management" setting. Similarly when I use RSE2006; it looks great in the RAW editor but washed out in PSE4.

My questions then would be

  1. I think that PSE4 is wrongly set up. Would anyone agree?
  2. How can I get Camera RAW to pas the image to PSE4 such that the rich, warm colour map is used?


Any suggestions?

Many thanks,

regards,

Found it... my monitor settings had somehow managed to get separate Adobe Gamma settings for the R, G and B channels. Setting back to a common Gamma fixed it!
