Vray Frame Buffer Vs Photoshop Image

[PDI]

As you can see from the above image, the photoshop image (Right) looks more blue and grey than the vfb. I have tried numerous methods of saving the image to remove this but with no success.

Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?

Please note that I have made no corrections to the image in photoshop. I used a lwf method, 2.2 gamma with Adaptation Only on. The photoshop image is an openexr.

Any help would be great.

look in your startup folder and see if you have the Adobe Gamma loader.

It's your photoshop screen settings. Vray is rendering out with neutral color settings. PS is automatically applying stuff. It didn't happen in earlier versions. You can change PS by the following:

\\view\ (show all menus if not enabled - so annoying...)\
Proof Colors: Unchecked (I think this is the one that does it.)

Old thread but i have the same problem... sort of.

Image looks fine in vray frambuffer. Open in photoshop and the colors are wrong (like in the image at the start of this thread). "proof colors" is unchecked and colorspace is sRGB IEC... I can make the image look and behave correctly if I check Proof Colors, but when I save it to a jpeg, the jpeg looks wrong. I can also make the image look correct if I change Photoshops colorsettings from sRGB IEC61... to Monitor RGB. Now, when I save to jpeg the jpeg looks like it should in windows viewer. However when I send it to my client using outlook the colors look wrong in outlook. I really have no idea how the image looks on my clients computer.

I have a new workstation, and the latest version of photoshop CC. On the old workstation I used the old Photoshop 4 and didnt have this problem.

Bobby - I made a search for Adobe gamma loader but couldnt find it on my computer.

What is going on? And how can I fix it?

Thanks

Did your new workstation come with a new monitor? Chances are that if it did, that you have a icc monitor profile loaded. This can happen even if you didn't callibrate the monitor, but the guys that built the pc, just loaded all the discs for the hardware, including the one that came with your monitor. From the sounds of things its just a colour profile issue.

If you didn't callibrate the monitor, then go to control panel, colour management and remove the loaded icc for the monitor - set it back to default sRGB

If however you DID callibrate the monitor, make sure that the VFB, as well as photoshop is aware of this profile. Most windows apps nowadays use and recognise color profiles (not max by the way, except if you load it into the VFB).
Skype for example DOESNT read the profiles, so if you have a callibrated screen, things will look wrong in Skype

Ok, maybe I solved it. Still confused though.

I now set photoshops colorspace to Monitor RGB, unchecked proof colors. When I save to web (jpeg) I check embedd profile, and uncheck convert to sRGB. Windows also uses my monitors profile. Now, as far as I can see, the colors match in photoshop, windows image viewer and outlook.

Is this the way things should be setup? I cant remember what settings I used before... I read somewhere that photoshops colorspace should be sRGB, which i dont use now. Should I expect any problems with my workflow?

Thank you Morne!

Same monitor as before.

Is it better to let windows/photoshop use the default sRGB profile? Now they all use my monitors profile. (I didnt calibrate it myself, I think its a profile that windows installed automatically)

[Morne]

If Windows installed it itself, it's likely a "generic" profile for your monitor, in which case I would just delete it and stick to sRGB - this will give you far less headaches.

Check with your IT guys, maybe they callibrated it at some point in which case I would get them to do it again, then use the new profile.

[skogskalle]

Cool, I will switch to sRGB and see how it works.

I dont have any IT guys I do however have an old monitor calibration-thingy. Gretag Macbeth eye One I think its called. When I have more time Ill give it a go, but for now ill just try the sRGB option

[skogskalle]

Deleted the old monitor-profile and everything seems to work like it should with sRGB. You really saved my day! (and my mind!). Thank you!

By the way, if the ColorMunki Design is a bit pricey (and OLD), then the ColorMunki Display will do the job just fine. The basic version is far cheaper than the Pro version or the Photo version, and yet it still has the option to do Advanced Monitor Calibration. You can pick up a ColorMunki Display locally for under 3000 ZAR. Callibration is well worth it!
