PROBLEM IN PHOTOSHOP 2024 - CAMERA RAW COLOR GLITCH

Photoshop 2024  Version 25

Windows 10 Home Version 22H2

Camera Raw and Photoshop 2024 show wrong color compared to Original Raw Camera file.

Problem in LR & LRC as well

CR will display washed out and wrong file color from Original Raw File.

Problem occurred in the 2024 version.

Upon re- downloading PS 2023 CR still displayed wrong color.

Using 2023 prior, this wasn't a problem.

It's as if CR is automatically editing RAW photos like JPG's in a dislr camera.

PS/ LR & LR is far too expensive program to be having this type of problem.

Spent 4 days messing with my monitor color management and PS/CR profile management thinking it was on my end only to find that others are having the same problem. I cannot edit my photos because of the wrong colors displayed.

CSR's are not helpful, they tell me it's my computer and i should calibrate my screen. Pls. educate them on this bug and get a fix out quickly. Adobe is costing people money and business because they cannot edit photos due to this bug.

    Hi. I understand what a RAW Photo is. I said "Original" to differentiate in my post for the Camera Image from the CR altered image popping up in the CR window.  Thank-you.

      You misunderstand how raw processing works. There is no such thing as an "original" raw file.

       

      A raw file is just a data dump from the camera sensor. If you could see it, it would be a very dark and very tonally compressed monochrome image. This is because of the linear encoding, and because it hasn't yet been demosaiced. It would look like the top one here:

      To get to the bottom version, it has to be processed in a raw processor - either built into the camera with fixed parameters, or as a standalone processor where you can control the result yourself (Lr/ACR).

       

      The camera version is no more "correct" than any other. It's just the manufacturer's version of how it should look. Since you do shoot raw, I assume you have better and other ideas yourself. Then you can do that in Lr/ACR.

       

      Lr/ACR defaults are by design conservative, intended to render as much of the sensor data as possible. But it's just a starting point. The rest is up to you - the sliders are there to be used!
