I don't get why this is happening!



Brand new MBP, brand new CS3 install on the left is a bridge 5D STOC JPEG file on the right is the same file opened in photoshop. It seems to apply a weird but consistent amount of magenta to pretty much every image (raw or jpeg) that is opened fully. Images look fine when browsed in bridge, apple preview etc. but when opened they are signifiantly different!

I'm sure there is a solution to this, any thoughts?! Thanks for all the help!

Simple solution...go back to CS2. Sorry Timco, don't have anything better at this hour bro.

tim did you check out all of the color settings?

in preferences I think I saw somehting about applying color correction.. turn it off.

I would but...i'm just starting to like CS3 and there was never any CS2 on this computer!where exactly would one do this?dug through all the prefferences cant find something that sounds like this...?


Thanks for all the continued help!

back to CS2 for mac! thats craziness because it uses the rosetta emulator - slower.

You should check your color palette you are using, i get this sometimes on my mac whereby either the quality is smoking hot on photoshop and rubbish somewhere else or vice versa! are you using adobe rgb or pro photo palette? and what is your gamma white balance set to?

Hey you fabulous man! I can't help much except to say that I think several others have had this problem too and I think they posted about it on OSP. May want to search a bit! I will try for you, but I am a terrible searcher.

Hey there Timco!
What's up??? How are you?

I have experienced similar lately and have not solved it or even nailed the exact issue-

I suspect it has to do with "Color Settings" under edit-
color management policy, preserve embedded, convert to working......
and I must have changed it somehow because it has not been working as it had been
since I have owned CS3-

If I am in bridge, and use the image processor on RGB images raw, and run the processor to
convert to JPG and SRGB- the color settings has to say "preserve embedded" under RGB-
in order for it to be tagged SRGB-in the conversion process-

perhaps it is in the working spaces?

I think that it is something in there and i have not sorted it all out yet-
Actually, I may make a call to adobe tomorrow-
so thanks for the reminder that it is still "my" problem-

anyone else?

cheers timco-
