There are several things going one here. Hopefully, we can get you on the right path. TL;DR - Enable color management in all apps and work in Rec709 across the board. Issue #1: sRGB images don't look right in PPro This is expected You should be preparing graphics in Rec709 In PS, you can choose a color profile when creating a new document, or convert an existing document to Rec709 in the Edit Menu - "Convert to Profile" or "Assign Profile". The one that makes your colors look right to your eye is the correct choice - choose Rec709 Gamma 2.4 profile. Before making this judgement, check your PS color settings are set to "Monitor" in Edit>Color Settings. This will ensure that colors are displayed correctly on your particular monitor. PPro does not convert color profiles of most imported media, so Rec709 is assumed. An sRGB PSD will definitely look wrong in PPro. Issue #2: Display Color Management should be ON across the board Check your display ICC profile in System Preferences>Displays>Color - unless you have a special calibration profile, I recommend setting it to the top one in the list (above the line) which is the one designed for the specific display you have. Enable Display Color Management in PPro/AME - Preferences>General Display color management will convert from the internal working space in PPro (Rec709) to the ICC profile of the display you checked above. This way colors are displayed correctly One important thing to understand about Display Color Management is that it has absolutely no affect on the exported file. It only affects what you see on your display inside PPro/AME. Issue #3: QC - how are you judging that colors look wrong/right? It sounds like you have a very professional setup with calibrated external transmit monitors. Use those for judging colors above all else. But, when comparing colors on the desktop displays, DO NOT USE QUICKTIME PLAYER. QuickTime player has a long standing gamma issue, which makes it display incorrect colors. Comparing colors that are displayed in-app between Premiere Pro and Photoshop (with color management enables and properly configured in both) is valid, and those colors are expected to match. Hope this helps . . .
