Spurious data handling issues

Im using Windows 11 and Photoshop cc v26.0.0) Suddenly and for no apparent reason (and on Oct 8th) all RAW files (.CR3 and .RAF) started to display in file explore in landscape orientation - including those taken in portrait orientation. This is not the case for edited .psd files not .jpegs, which are behaving themselves. Widows has been reinstalled and all adobe products reinstalled - no change.  Any ideas at all out there please?

 

Also Ive discovered today that if I edit any .CR3 or .RAF image, it opens as usual in Camera Raw, can be edited normally but when I open it into photoshop proper I get a dialogue box telling me that the RAW file has an embedded Display P3 profile and a working profile of Adobe RGB. (I have no idea what a Display P3 profile is, much less have reset anything on camera. I havent). I get three options to choose from - Use the (P3) embedded profile, change to Adobe RBG or dont colour manage. This happens for   every   single   image.

 

Both cameras have their workspace, as always and for years, set to Adobe RBG. Camera raw defaults afre and always have been set to Adobe RGB.

 

NONE of this happens with a second laptop, so must be local to this single machine. Any clue out there?

Correct answer D Fosse

You set the color space in the ACR workflow options. For some reason they have now decided that the default should be P3, not a good idea IMO, but there it is. Change it to Adobe RGB. You can either click the "link" directly below the image window, or go through Settings > Workflow.

 

A raw file doesn't have a color space; the raw processor encodes it into one. The camera setting for color space is irrelevant - that's only for camera-processed jpegs.

 

No idea about the image orientation.
