Hello All,
This is my first post to the list, though I've been
lurking and learning for a while now.
I am having an awful time trying to get a WYSIWYG
setup after upgrading from PS5.5 to 6.0.1 and upgrading my monitor and video
card. I hope somebody out there can help me.
I'm scanning Kodak Elitechrome 200 using Vuescan
7.1.9 and an Acer scanwit2720. All was fine under PS5.5 but now I can't
get a match between the scanned image as it appears in the vuescan scan window
(which is a fair approximation of the colour balance of the slide) and the image
I see in photoshop. One clue may be that when I softproof the PS image
using my monitor profile I suddenly get a reasonable colour balance that
matches the vuescan Scan window pretty closely. Switching back to RGB
(Adobe,1998), gives a horrid colour shift of the yellows (e.g. dry grass in a
landscape) in the image towards red, but leaves the blues and greens pretty
much alone.
I figured that I may have a problem with
the ICC profile I made with Adobe Gamma, but no matter how I tweak it I
don't get anywhere near a situation where switching from soft proof
(monitor) to RGB gives no colour shift. I don't think the problem is
the video card (GeForce 3) as I've disabled gamma correction from display
settings. That leaves the monitor, I suppose ( a Mitsubishi Diamond Plus
92) which although giving a nice sharp flat picture has been a pain to set
up in Adobe gamma. I have so far tried reducing the colour
temp to 5600K and using the same methods I employed with Adobe Gamma for
PS5.5 I increased contrast to 100% and reduced brightness but here even at
0% brightness The middle box is still quite visible (also the white appears a
little dirty at 5600K but this may be me being used to 9200K?). Squinting
at the gamma boxes follows the usual pattern.
One final trick I tried in PS that seems to
work (but I'm sure is not a good Idea) was to output from vuescan without a
profile then open in PS and force my monitor profile on the image [with convert
to working space after ticked] and that seems to do the trick. The
image in PS looks like the image in VueScan but this must be a bad idea I
feel.
Any help at all would be much
appreciated.
In Frustration and wondering if the upgrade was
worth it
