    Why does the colors change in Photoshop View >Proof Setup

    I think I understand what View> Proof Setup does in Photoshop. It shows you a preview of what the image will look like with the chosen color space. But here is what I dont get. With an image open choose View>Proof Setup and then "Internet Standard RGB (sRGB)". Now close the image and reopen...

    My Picture prints too dark... Help!

    Tom, I tried to use yousendit.com, but they limit me to 50 MB with my free account. I found a site that allows me to upload up to 2GB for free. Its called WeTransfer.com. If you havent used it before, you will have to create a free account to access this link (sorry, that you have to do that)...

    My Picture prints too dark... Help!

    My PSD file is 150MB. It lloks like this site limits .zip files (or PSD) files to 30MB. I could break it up into 5 different files, but that seems like too much. Do you know a place I can put the file so that I can share it here? Thanks, Kirk

    My Picture prints too dark... Help!

    For a follow up on this issue. I used my new color munki and let it calibrate my monitor. I then compared the last picture (printed using sRGB) with the color of my monitor. Supprisingly, the colors are not as close as I expect them to be. I have tried adjusting brighness contrast and Gamma...

    My Picture prints too dark... Help!

    Tom, Thanks for that post. I could not figure out how to get my PS image output to sRGB. Your Step 2 told me what I needed. Last night I opened my finished PS image in Lightroom and exported it to jpg. There I could choose the sRGB profile. I had a few of them printed this morning with that...

    My Picture prints too dark... Help!

    Tom, Here is one of the photos from my post above. This image has a "2" in the top right corner. This image was imported into LR, but made not edits, then takeen to PS where I did edits. When I exported this to jpg, I unchecked the "ProPhoto RGB". This picture looks very close to PS when I...

    My Picture prints too dark... Help!

    Mike, When I export my edits for P/S to jpg, it saves them in "ProPhoto RGB". This was a RAW image that I adjusted in LR before I brought it into PS. How do I get PS so that it will export the sRGB instead of the ProPhoto RGB when I send to jpg? From what I have been testing, this seems to be...

    My Picture prints too dark... Help!

    Tom, In the thread you linked to above "Photoshop CS6 showing diff colors compared to CS5", in one of your responses, you said: "Many folks have their PS installations set up to open images in ACR for manipulation before they are handed over to PS. If, by some chance you do this and are using...

    My Picture prints too dark... Help!

    Mike, For the test that I have been doing, to figure out this problem, I have not been doing any adjusting in ACR. I did notice in ACR, down at the bottom center of the ACR window, it tells you what color space its using. You can click on this and change it. Whatever I set this to, when I...

    My Picture prints too dark... Help!

    Tom, I havent calibrated my monitor with a piece of hardware, but I am now just trying to figure out how to get the image thats on the w/m site (or any other internet site) to look the same as what I see from my image viewer or P/S. The monitor calibration issue should only come into play when...

    My Picture prints too dark... Help!

    I did another test. This time, I opened my RAW file using the Canon Digital Pro software that came with my camera. Did a save-as and exported this out to .jpg. Uploaded this to the walmart site. This looks much better. I think this would probably print just fine. Not exactly sure why it is...

    My Picture prints too dark... Help!

    I just printed a portriat for a friend that I have been working on at Wally World. Pic is really, really dark. I have been reading and dark pics seem to be a common problem. I think my monitor is calibrated (or adjusted) from the test images I can find for the brightness test. I did not use...

    Adjustments Layer shows wrong icon

    iDad, Thanks for that. If I RC on the icon and choose "No Icon" then you are correct, I dont see what I expect. The next time I see this issue, I will see if this is the case. I just tried creating 10 new documents with adjustment layers and they all worked correctly. Thanks again !!

    Adjustments Layer shows wrong icon

    When I click on the "Add Adjustments Layer" on the bottom right, it adds the layer ok in the browser. My question is why does the icon for the new layer not always represent the kind of adjustment layer that I just added. In the attachement, I added a Levels adjustment layer, but it shows the...
