Lightroom to Photoshop - Colour space problems

Mikeru · 03-06-2009, 08:30 AM

I'm having problems editing photos in photoshop from lightroom. When I export from lightroom in prophoto RGB, the colours don't show properly in photoshop. This is the case whether I have photoshop set to the prophoto colour space, or if I just click to say use embedded colour profile.

Exporting from Lightroom in srgb or adobe rgb works fine, but it seems best to stick to prophoto for things that are only going to Photoshop and straight back into Lightroom, only converting to srgb later for print or web.

Any ideas why Photoshop isn't liking prophoto?

What format are you exporting to? Are you exporting or using the 'open in ...' function?

Make sure that in Photoshop's colour settings your working space is set to prophoto and that the colour management policy is set to preserve embedded profile.

Sorry, you're right. I was calling it exporting, but I do mean using the 'edit in' function.

Photoshop is set to prophoto, and to 'preserve embedded profiles'.

As an aside note - what is your preference, to open in photoshop as tiff or PSD?

Opening in Photoshop as PSD is preferred.
