Color issue with Raw files from Sony A1 ii and lightroom classic 14.2 and Photoshop 26.5

[charlesl75177870]

I've been having color issues using adobe color profile and LRC 14.2 and PS 26.5 and my Sony A1 ii.  I have a Sony a9iii and a7rv with no issues and LRC 14.1 the colors are fine.  The work around right now is converting the raw to dng in LRC 14.1 before editing in PS.  I reached out to Adobe and they confirmed the issues with the samples I provided.  Since it's isolated to the A1 ii it's not a monitor or icc issue.  see the issue in the pic below

I've reviewed your Support Chat transcript, and it only mentions issues with 14.1 and the Sony A1 II—it doesn't mention 14.2 at all. I point that out because support for this camera was preliminary in 14.1 and final in 14.2.

Is the problem only after the file reaches PS? Before? 

A precise step-by-step recap of your Edit in PS workflow, including your Edit in Method, the Settings in Preferences>External Editors, your PS workspace settings, and complete system information, is necessary here. 

Can you provide a DNG of the file you are showing in your screenshots for the engineering team to review?

It happens in LRC 14.2 so I reverted back to 14.1 because I was noticed it with 14.2 and PS.  At least with 14.1 I can convert it to dng before editing in PS and the colors are correct.   I tried to roll back camera raw as well (I can't remember the version I think it was 17.1)  that worked but is no longer available and the one before that version doesn't support the A1ii so I have to use the most current version of camera raw.

As far as the PS workflow, it was checked by the tech on the chat you are referring to.  Did you want me to email you the raw file?

I have the same problem. Don't understand how this is not more known as we must not be the only ones using A1ii with Lightroom 14.2

Any solution besides going back to 14.1 ? 

[charlesl75177870]

I agree and they did see it when I sent Adobe the raw file.  The only other workaround is using other color profiles besides Adobe.  The Sony camera ones are not good IMO, so I use a Calibrate color checker now and it brings back the colors to normal. It works, but just an extra step at my shoots, until they fix the adobe color profiles.

Same problem here. Luckily I still have the A1, but this is definitely disappoiting!!

Same problem here, Sony A1ii with Lightroom 14.2, the color difference looks huge compare to A9iii or any other previous Sony camera, hope Adobe can fix it soon

Issue - when the Raw file of A1ii imported into Lightroom, the color changed, it was significantly different with other Sony camera, specialy the blue color  

Steps to reproduce - Just imported the photo to Lightroom

Expected result - the color should be close to others Sony camera

Actual result – way different color, desatruated (please see the attached file, raw photo without any edit, same stadium same light same jersey, the blue color on the left(Sony A1ii)  is way different than the blue on the right (Sony A9iii)

Lightroom version - 14.2

Operating System – macOS 14.6.1

exactly the same results I am getting, it's predominatly in the blues and cyans, but also affects reds as well.  It's just an over all desaturation adn hue shift.  It's hard to work together with the a9iii if the colors are so off.  I am still on 14.1 until they fix this issue.  Hopefully soon!

Yes its very annoying, for now I'm changing the color Profile: Adobe Color to Camera NT, it kind of balance the color, but still not 100% matching with other Sony camera, hopefully a 14.1.1 can fix it soon
