Question

Canon .CR3 Files turn yellow in Photoshop.

I am experiencing a problem when trying to switch from Lightroom to Photoshop to edit .cr3 files they turn yellow. I have Lightroom and Photoshop in the same color space. The older .cr2 files I have pull up fine in Photoshop with no color issues. It is only the .Cr3 files that have a very yellow tone to them. It's frustrating. I have updated both Lightroom and Photoshop to the newest versions, Updated the color space in Bridge, etc. They still show up in Photoshop looking very warm.

    Can you post a side by side screenshot?

    Don't change any color settings. That's not where the problem is (and they don't have to "match").

    This is either a camera profile mismatch, or a defective monitor profile. Are both updated to matching version level? Don't assume "latest" - check the actual version. Lightroom should be at 8.1, and ACR at 11.1.

    Thank you for replying. I have LR version 8.1. I updated to Camera Raw 11.1 but it still seems to be doing it.

    I'll attach the images below.

    It certainly looks like a broken monitor profile, which can affect applications differently.

    Are you using a calibrator to make your profiles? If so rerun it.

    If not, you may have received a bad manufacturer profile through Windows Update. Replace the current profile with sRGB IEC61966-2.1 in Windows Color Management > Devices (or Adobe RGB if your monitor is a wide gamut model):

    Relaunch Photoshop when done, it needs to load the new profile at application startup.
