psd washes out color from camer RAW

[Sebastian van Dongen]

I have read a few post trying to find a solution but nothing seems to work for me. Here is the difference between camera raw and the psd file. I have no idea why but when i make a print screen, camera raw gets very bright. But even then, the difference between the color is quite big. The red is better looking in camera raw than in the psd. I hope someone knows how to fix this.

Do you have HDR enabled in ACR?

Can you post a screenshot that shows the histogram in both applications? That will tell if the actual data have been changed, or if it's in the display chain.

Left is from the PSD file and right from camera RAW. HDR in camera RAW is turned of. On my monitor I'm using HDR. I  don't know if this has any effect.

@Sebastian van Dongen what colourspace are you using when exporting from camera RAW please? It could be that the red is outside the gamut of the selected working colour space.

I hope this helps

I use Adobe Neutral in RAW and sRGB in psd workspace

@Sebastian van Dongen RAW files can contain colour well beyond the boundaries of the sRGB colourspace. As a test why not try exporting the RAW within the Prophoto colourspace and see if the situation persists.

Hang on - what do you mean by "when i make a print screen, camera raw gets very bright" - ?

You need to tell us step by step what you're doing here!

A screenshot is something very different from the original document.

Well that's also a little something. The RAW and psd do have a obvious color difference. The thing is, when I take a printscreen, the camera RAW just brightens. But I can assure you, the color shift from the PSD can be seen by every single person, and is not just a little shift, it's almost a whole new shade of the color.

Gentleman, thank you for your input, but i have found the solution myself. The previews had a different color because of my HDR enabled on my monitor. Turning of HDR made the preview, PSD and export have the same color. Hope this works for everyone encountering the same problem. Cheers!

Well, I did ask and you said HDR was off...

But anyway, glad you got it sorted 🙂
