Since the latest udpate, i cannot seem to be able to open a photograph in Photoshop in a state that i adjust in

Raw before opening:

then when i open it in PS:

seems much brighter and maybe even the colorspace shifted 😞

Any advice?

Also, i can't save the photo in JPG, not even through Save a Copy

What's wrong?

Okay, had a chat with the online support. Issue was that the color space of my raw photo (Adobe RGB) did not match the one of my MacBook (sRGB). I must have changed it on my camera by accident... 😕😕

That's absolute nonsense; color spaces don't need to match. That's the whole purpose of color management. One is remapped into the other, so that general appearance remains unchanged.

 

Is there a particular reason you have set ACR to Rec.2020 and 32 bits/channel? That's a pretty specialized workflow, and it doesn't sound like you're aware of the implications.

 

The camera setting for color space is irrelevant and doesn't apply for raw files.
