illustrator rendering colors from the imported images (from photo app) differently.

[David30125243i5sb]

Just to preface: My illustrator is set on rgb and i have played with the color setting a MILLION times but the colors still look different from the original image. I have also went on adobe bridge and applyed monitor colors like someone on here suggested however nothing seems to be working.

ALSO JUST TO REITERATE IM TALKING ABOUT THE APPLE PHOTOS APP NOT PHOTOSHOP

Also i just noticed that when i physically drag images from photos into illustrator then the colors look normal/stay the same (pic below) so its only when the files are placed or opened in illustrator that the colors are off. now Im even more confused lol.

nevermind after a couple minutes illustrator changed the colors of the image (pic below). idk if they are like trying to gaslight me into thinking the the colors are the same but they blatently saturate them more for no reason.

Please learn color management. It has been there for 20 years and won't go away.

Monitor colors is not suitable as your working profile. As a profile for files it is only suitable for screenshots.

Apple Photos is probably not color managed at all, so it is very difficult to tell which app is presenting you with the wrong colors.

Hi i tried looking around for more info about color managing etc. but what you told me was way too general. how do you think i should proceed because even if apple is presenting me the wrong colors i want illustrator displaying those same "wrong" colors when i load an image

Hello @David30125243i5sb,

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. Would you mind recalibrating your monitor for sRGB (https://adobe.ly/3XlvIvM), resetting the color settings set in Bridge/Illustrator to the defaults, restarting your computer, and then relaunching Illustrator to see if it helps?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

Anubhav

If you setup your Color Settings, turn on the checkboxes for profile mismatches.

Use place when you want to get your images into Illustrator instead of drag and drop.

That has not been not a sustainable approach to color on a computer since 2000

That way your color is a moving target and you might never succeed.

Here is a very basic introduction: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/understanding-color-management.html (it works the same in all the other apps)
