Question

Elaine and Brie
I am having a color display problem. my monitor is calibrated with Spyder. my camera is set to srbg but I shoot raw.  My colors between Lightroom, Bridge and Photoshop agree when they are opened. (They are set at SRGB too).  The thumnails in photoshop display very red, however, when I open them in photoshop they look good.  If I view them out of photoshop in the picture viewer, they also look red. When they are open in photoshop they look good and then I go to print them and the print preview looks way to red too.  Help!!

Answer
Sheila,

Did you save your camera raw files as another file format? If you made your adjustments in LR or the Camera Raw settings, but did not save out a new PSD or JPG, the adjustments only show up in Bridge. If you use another preview display (picture viewer) they will show a different preview since it cant process your changes.

If your file prints ok and looks ok in PS, I would not worry about it.
