      Like most of you, the issue persists in Bridge 2019 (9.0.1.216) for me and no word from Adobe after 3+ months (for me. longer for the OP and others)!

      Why is acknowledgement of the issue so tough?

        I have had a long chat session and a call from Adobe customer support.

        Ended up in them requesting that I continue using v8.0 (not 8.1 or 9...) until they fix the pdf-color issue.

        See link to download page earlier in this thread.

        So they acknowledge there is a known problem. But maybe not in public...

          My change is a drastic exposure change.  In prior versions I could make my adjustments to RAW and simply create a contact in bridge that reflects the changes.  In 2019 I finally have this problem.  I tried converting my RAW's to jpegs, then creating the contact from the jpegs.  Same results.  Obviously this not an isolated anomaly, but a fairly wide spread problem.

            It seems like we are quite a few experiencing this Bridge issue.

            I tried ArtCreative HL <https://forums.adobe.com/people/ArtCreative+HL>´s tip with changing monitor profile. With no luck for me…

            BUT I found a site with a downloadable version of Bridge 8.0 (early cc2018). The problem assumably started with 8.1.

            This version works for me, without doing any drastic color or saturation changes to the pictures when making a pdf contactsheet.

            Link:

            https://www.digitalriser.com/download-adobe-bridge-cc-2018-offline-installer.html <https://www.digitalriser.com/download-adobe-bridge-cc-2018-offline-installer.html>

            The pdf turns out right even though there still is a color/saturation shift in the preview in Bridge.

            moshmosh007​ i guess, Bridge is converting your images without asking?

            I have spent a couple of hours chating with Adobe support.

            They seem to be aware of this issue. BUT not actually admitting it in any public way.

            What they wanted to get me to do was using cc2017 with the add-on Output module installed: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/bridge/kb/install-output-module-bridge-cc.html <https://helpx.adobe.com/in/bridge/kb/install-output-module-bridge-cc.html>

            For me this did not help. The tab occurs in Bridge cc2017 after installing the module but will not be active. Nothing happens when I click the tab.

            I really hope Adobe fixes the Output tab in cc2019 version very soon…

            Did you put the two files in the two separate folders when installing the module?

            Not sure if this will help but I have the same issue with the over contrasted and over saturated contact sheet images from the Output module. However, I changed to creating the contact sheets from TIFF files and it seems to work much better maintaining images as they are and not changing the contrast / saturation. I also just did a quick test converting a JPEG to a TIFF and that seemed to work too.

              Thank you for your kind and quick response!

              I just tried your tip, with same result as before with jpegs.

              I hope Adobe will find a fix soon to this.

              Best regards

              Sorry to hear that! I was really hoping it might help. It is only a short-term work-around anyway and the problem needs to be sorted properly, hopefully soon.

              Cheers,

              This should have been addressed by, or at least replied to by Adobe by now! They know of this, surely.

              Having the same issue in OSX High Sierra. Both inn 8 and no change in the latest 9...

              It just suddenly apeared a few months ago (Maybe it was in the 8.1.0. upgrade )

              Can´t find archive with version 8.0.1 to install, so I can get correct looking contact sheet.

              AAAAARGH!!!!!!!!

              The bug definitely started between versions 8.0.1 and 8.1.0. We have both installed in the office and the PDF output from version 8.0.1 looks accurate and the PDF output from 8.1.0 is too dark. I have tried changing all the settings suggested above in 8.1.0 but I still can't get it to match 8.0.1. The dark output doesn't look like incorrect profiling. It actually looks like a gamma adjustment of 0.9. Very strange.

              Yes, but if you have like 20-30 pictures or more you end up with very much manual work. And not one contact sheet with all pictures in one document.

              I just want to use the original CONTACT SHEET PLUGIN, not learn more time consuming longer ways to end up at a dead end PDF I don't want instead of a .jpg. I want to simply choose how many images in a row or a column. I want control over each image in layers for exposure. I want to flatten and produce a jpg as the contact sheet plug in did and then press print for a quick colour accurate proof. I'm getting increasingly frustrated with Adobe and will look at Elements and check other competition to Adobe who seem to care little about creating delays and downtime in their customers  workflows. This morning I would happily go back to an older version of PS  I just need to simply contact sheet and print a jpg proof!

                My photos have an embedded color profile (sRGB) and the colors in the PDF will definetely not appear correct but much too oversaturated and reddish, sorry.

                  I'm having the same issue in  Bridge CC 2019.  The output module over saturates the images to the point that I cannot use it.  After checking color space in PS and bridge, re-checking "used embedded profile" and restarting, there is no change. My monitor is calibrated.  Finally pulled up CS6 and ran the contact sheet with out any issues and sent to my client. Help Please!
