Image color distortion in Photoshop on Mac

HI

Ideally your display screen should be calibrated and profiled.

If the display profile is accurate you can trust Photoshop to do the colour management properly. 

That way you can assess whether its the canon software that’s causing the issue.

ColorLCD is a Mac profile, right? So I am guessing you don't have a calibrator for the screen?

sRGB is not the right choice generally, apart from when troubleshooting.

That type of display profile (named "ColorLCD")  is made automatically by OSX, It can get corrupted, to fix that - you can delete it (in system preferences /displays / color) and restart the Mac, it should make a new one. 

Does the issue persist?

You should ideally assess display appearance in Photoshop using a standard testimage -  

images from a camera are not good for this

I hope this helps

if so, please "like" my reply and if you're OK now, please mark it as "correct", so that others who have similar issues can see the solution

Hi there,

We are sorry about the experience due to Photoshop. Would you mind elaborating the color distortion you are referring to? It would be helpful if you could attach a screenshot with the original post so that we can check whats happening. Also, please share the version of Photoshop you are using along with your computers macOS version.

There would be some difference in color between the JPEG shot from the camera and the Raw file since with most cameras, the Jpeg is a processed file while the Raw file is unprocessed. Hence, is you are comparing the Jpeg preview of the file with the Raw file, you would observe some difference in the colors.

If you use a software to calibrate your computer screen or use a specific color profile, you can try changing the color profile for your monitor to sRGB to check if that helps. You can check: https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/change-your-displays-color-profile-mchlf3ddc60d/mac
