Question

Colour issue in Photoshop! Need help ASAP as on deadline! Thank you!

Hello everyone 

 

I'm trying to transfer a vector image I created in to a document in photoshop. 

 

The document in photoshop is now very large and is saving out as a .psb file. 

 

When I transfer the vector the colours go from a RGB brightness to a CMYK washed out look in the document. 

 

When making a new document the placing the vector file in again, it all looks as it should. Only in this .psb document I have issues. I've checked the doc is RGB mode so unsure of what is causing it. 

 

Any help would be great thank you. 

Dan

RGB is all well and good, but what is the document color profile? To me it sounds like your document is untagged and doesn't have a color profile at all.

 

Never work with untagged data.  It means the numbers are undefined and you get unpredictable changes like this. As long as there is a profile, it will be correctly treated regardless of what the profile is. It just needs to be there.

What about the other document? Where does it come from? Is the vector an .eps, which doesn't support color profiles?
