Hii,

My name is Soumitra Dutta, Oxford based photographer, I’m running into some color profile issues on my USA setup, and I’m not sure what’s causing them. For those who’ve dealt with this before, what would you suggest checking? Any tips would be really appreciated.”

    One tip, whilst waiting for a further update from you on the questions above, is to ensure you embed the colour profile in the images that you send to others. That way, anyone with a colour managed set up will be able to read the profile and have it displayed correctly.

    Please be more specific about the issues. Color profiles used in RGB photography workflows are the same worldwide, so for common RGB workflows such as posting on the web or social media, or for printing on desktop inkjet printers (which expect RGB data), there should be no profile issues related to the country.

     

    If you’re seeing problems related to CMYK printing, then you could be running into differences in typical CMYK press profiles used in different regions of the world.

     

    But we can’t know for sure until you describe in more detail what kinds of profile issues you’re seeing.
