Photoshop - Pasted Screenshot colors off - with the last update

I've been using Photoshop on my Windows 10 computer for a long time.  I've always been able to paste a screenshot as a new image in order to pull colors from what was on the screen.  Just recently, I believe since the last update, my screenshot colors are all wrong!  I've tried pasting the screenshot in with the 2 options available, Don't Manage and Working RGB, and both still give me an image that doesn't match my browsers colors.  I just want a simple temporary image with no color management.

Has something changed with the last update?  Is there something I can do to bring back the colors of the original screenshot that can match what was in my browser?

If there's new color management techniques with this update, I would love a video discussing them!

    What color space are you editing the document you pasting into.  Have you tried different color spaces to see it that make any difference. Also try assigning a color space to the document your editing to see if that makes a difference. Assign Color Profile not convert to profile. I find I have to Assign sRGB at times.  I have many versions of Photoshop installed and I do recall which version of Photoshop I may need to do that assign profile for of what color space I may have been editing in.  I just know that I have had to do that some times when I notice colors look off.

    I've been having this same problem too. When I open screenshots done on my windows computer, the colors in PS are wrong. I don't have that problem when importing any other photos. I double checked I'm working in RGB and not CMYK mode. The file was already sRGB. Assigning the profile again did nothing. So odd

    Read two replies up.

     

    Assign your monitor profile. Then convert to sRGB.

     

    A screenshot is no longer in the original color space. The numbers have been remapped into monitor color space by Photoshop, in order to display the file correctly on screen. That's a color managed display pipeline.

     

    What is your monitor profile? Where does it come from? For full accuracy, you should use a calibrator to make the profile.

    I'm sure exactly...how would I look that up to tell you? When I look at windows color management settings under Advanced, Device profile is set to Adobe RGB 1998

    Assign the monitor profile. Then convert to sRGB.

    A screenshot is in monitor color space. It has already been remapped for display, and the RGB values recalculated.

    You only get the same reading if monitor profile and document profile are identical - which they normally shouldn't be.

    Thanks for your responses.  However, I've had no trouble with the colors of a pasted screenshot until the past week.  I'll read up on color spaces.

    You guys are wonderful!  I figured it out with using the color spaces and all's OK.  I must have switched the profiles without knowing it, and that's where the change came from.
