ACR color profile help?

Ok, my monitor is calibrated with the Pantone Huey. Settings are great in DPP and in CS4 when I click the 'proof colors' option. But in ACR, they're lighter and washed out. So any color changes/exposure/etc. in ACR end up being way overdone in CS4.

I am missing something stupid...
Help?

Are you saying that when you load a file from ACR into Photoshop, it looks better in Photosop than it does in ACR, or that when you load a photo from DPP into Photoshop it looks better than it does in ACR?

If the latter, know that DPP would use the in-camera Picture Style as your default "starting point", which in anything other than Neutral or Faithful will have more contrast, saturation and sharpening applied and would open as such in Photoshop. ACR and Lightroom show none of these adjustments, just a White Balance/Hue applied with some neutral defaults applied to the other things.

ACR CS4 and Lightroom 2.x do have some Calibration presets that are "camera smart" that you can apply on import or on-the-fly, but they do not equate a Picture Style so much as "soft" changes in how the default image is rendered -- for those things you need to apply some contrast, saturation and sharpening using some combination of the tools provided.

Photoshop and DPP look the same, ACR does not I shoot Faithful 100% of the time.

So say I import the RAW into ACR, tweak and get it looking perfect. I then click Open Image in ACR and now after I click on Proof Colors it looks oversaturated and over tone curved. When I save as JPEG, it looks like that too (regardless of if I click Proof Colors or not of course).

I don't think there are any settings to do with color that'd affect that. Try resetting your preferences - you hold down control/shift/alt during startup - I forget which so I hold them all down.

ARGH
I will try that too Tim thanks.
Now ACR to PS looks good, then save to JPEG and it's saturated/over darked etc....
*edit - It's like the gamma/exposure gets adjusted? FRICK.

Scratch - Tim that did it...I jacked something up somewhere! Thanks!

The bolded bit is wrong. You should not be doing that.

In DPP, go to prefs, and set your monitor profile fort display. Not sRGB
