Question

After effects messing up colors

Hello,

 

I'm here to seek some help.

 

I'm having lots of trouble working with AE and PS or AI when I create a new composition based on a .psd or .ai file. The colors keep changing, and end looking washed out. I've tried changing the color settings, adjusting my GPU color settings, but nothing works, please help and thank you in advance.

 

edit: same color profiles in both the .psd or .ai and .ae files

 

Here are some screen shots that may help understanding my problem:

    Well, straight up (and you're not going to liek the answer): Fiddling with AE color settings will not fix anything. What you see is a typical sign of an inadequate/ screwy workflow in the other programs vis à vis lack of color management/ wrong color management/ messed up monitor settings. You need to read up on this stuff and then act accordingly, like in fact not assigning specific profiles in AI/ PS and using the monitor default profile or just in the opposite extreme instating correct proof previews, calibrating your monitor and so on. in short: The flaw is how you create the artwork in a mistweaked/ miscalibrated environment to begin with, leading you to make wrong assumptions about colors being correct.

    Thanks for nothing.
