Please help for color management (Bridge 2020 and Photoshop 2020)

Question

Hi guys from Italy.I need your help because I need to finish a photobook but I'm having issues with the color of my pictures on my monitor.I shot the pictures using my Sony RX 10 IV set this way: Color Space sRGB, Creative Style standard, Picture Profile off, RAW.I have a Windows 10 PC with an Nvidia Quadro RTX 4000, latest drivers. I use Adobe Bridge to apply basic editing (shadows/highlights, contrast, etc) and then I export the pictures for the photobook program using Tools/Photoshop/Image Processor with these settings:Save as JPEG, Converto to SRGB and Include ICC Profile. In Nvidia control panel I have:Use NVIDIA color settings: Desktop color depth SDR (30-bit color), Output color depth: 10bpc, Output color format RGB, Output dynamic range: Full Yesterday I calibrated my monitor Philips BDM3275 (32", 4K, 10bpc) with DisplayCAL 3.8.9.3 and Spyder4 colorimeter (please see attached screenshots) and I deleted my previous monitor profile (sorry...). Today browsing my pictures with Bridge I noticed that, as soon as Adobe Bridge starts, for a fraction of a second, I see the thumbnails "correctly" and after it's like there's a subtle greenish tint on all of them.When I open the picture in Camera Raw or Photoshop I still see that greenish tint.Loading the same pictures in the photobook program the pictures are fine, no trace of the greenish tint, but of course I need to see the same colors everywhere.The photobook uses sRGB.In Adobe Bridge which Color Settings must I use?(I see Monitor Color, North America General Purpose 2, etc).In Bridge/Camera Raw Preferences/Workflow/Color Space what should I use?In Photoshop/Color Settings what should I use for Working Spaces/Color Management Policies? I thank you from the bottom of my heart for any advice.Matteo

Sounds like your last monitor profile went bad. Do it again.

As for Photoshop Color Settings - leave everything at default settings. Don't change anything, unless you're very confident you know what you're doing and have a good reason.

The most important setting is Color Management Policies. This should always be "Preserve Embedded Profiles". Never change that.

There's one exception: In Export/Save For Web, you need to always check "embed profile" - as you already do. This is for some reason unchecked by default.

But to clear something up: you can't adjust anything in Bridge. It sounds like you are opening your files in Camera Raw (ACR). This is a plugin that can be hosted by either Bridge or Photoshop.

You're basically asking a very broad question covering your entire workflow. That's a little too much to answer in one short post. Come back with details as you go.

Hi Matteo, I make photobooks all the time. I have my Bridge set to control all of my apps - North American General Purpose. I design my books in PS. I create a new document for the size of my book - 12x12 is my preference and make sure color is sRGB. Then I add my images and upload the pages as "backgrounds" in the photobook software. This gives me complete control. I save a copy of the PS files as jpg to upload. You want to be working in sRGB. You can bring your images into PS and look at the color numbers - you eyes can deceive you - is there really a green bias in your images based on RGB numbers? You can always calibrate the monitor again, too. I'll be honest - I haven't calibrated my monitor in years. I do my work on a 12 year old imac and a new macbook pro and my images always come out great in my books.
