Hallo dear Adobe community,

I have a color problem importing a RGB image into AI.

The first Image is it as shown imported into AI, the second is the original version.

I have tested the document color mode between RGB/CMYK option and each of the option under EDIT> Colorsettings, but the result never comes close to the original.

Any suggest?

Thanks in advance

Hello Ton,

it´s a PNG

PNG files are not handled very well by Illustrator (and Photoshop).

ICC profiles are ignored when importing and exporting.

I suppose that your placed PNG has a different ICC profile that your current Illustrator document.

Can you open the png in Photoshop and resave it as .psd?

Well, are the images actually tagged with proper color profiles/ adjusted to a specific profile? Sounds like you're missing that part. Just arbitrarily setting profiles is not real color management.
