Hello I am trying to copy images from from photoshop to illustrator but when copy them into illustrator the colours become muted. I've made the colour space and colour profiles the same in both applications but i am still having the same issue. Is there something I am missing? 

 

Please help.

This happens when the document does not have an embedded color profile.

 

As long as it has, this embedded profile will override application color settings.

I have ensured that this setting is on. I'm still having the same issue.

Yes, but does the file actually have an embedded profile?

Have you gone into Bridge 2023  Edit > Color Settings and synchronized the color settings?

This is what you should see.  If there is no improvement, then there are experts that will join in and they will likely see what I've missed.

 

Also what I might have missed is that Adobe RGB 1998 is the suitable print conversion space between RGB and CMYK. sRGB is for Web design. It would clip CMYK. You can change the working space to Adobe RGB and see if that helps.

Looking at the Profiles list, you would want a Prepress Color setting, not a General color setting. Hope that helps.
