Seemingly random images turning into a green tint when pasted

Hi - This just started happening this week. It's driving me nuts. I first noticed it when I went into Camera Raw filter, after I had finished with my image and closed the box, the image on my photoshop page changed to a green tint. I mean completely neon green. I now also find it's happening when I paste some images into other pages (still in photoshop). The image is normal, I cut and paste it onto another empty page and it's green. I tried unistalling and reinstalling. No help. I cant find a commonality with what's happening. - help would be very appreciated.

I'm fairly certain the Epson profile is corrupt/defective/not written to icc spec. Just avoid it and don't use it.

On a general note.

I don't agree that color management is difficult. The basic principles are much simpler than most people think. Left alone, without user interference, it almost always works out of the box (assuming all profiles are good). Most problems happen whenever people start feeling they need to do something.

The problem with the notion that color management is difficult is that people start to look for complicated solutions. That's where it usually goes wrong. Just leave it alone.

The basic principle is extremely simple, and applies everywhere. There's a source profile, and there's a destination profile. The first is converted into the second. That's it. As long as you can tell source and destination apart, and not mix them up, it'll work.

From time to time I just need to get this off my chest 😉

Hi D-Fosse,

I hear you. I think it is probably as simple as you say, but only until it isn't. I personally changed nothing, made no assumptions, or alterations and certainly abide by the 'if it aint broke...." philosophy. But nevertheless, it broke for me. But i'm riding the learning curve now thanks to the help of forum user Michael, so if I come away from this with better knowledge then it's all good.

1. Preferences
Have you tried resetting the Photoshop preferences?
https://helpx.adobe.com/au/photoshop/using/preferences.html
Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) as you start Photoshop. You are prompted to delete the current settings. The new preferences files are created the next time you start Photoshop.

2. Color Profiles
Could this have something do with color profiles? Are you using common profiles like sRGB or Adobe RGB 1998 or are you accidentally using some odd color profile?

Hey Michael - thanks for jumping in and helping. I just tried the first recommendation. I re set the PS prefs. I am still getting the same issue. But I have discovered something significant. When I want to paste from one page to another I am now getting this box (see attached) I guess i wasnt seeing it before becaue the 'dont show me again' box was checked.
Now I don't pretend to know much about what it's saying. This is a grey area to me. I recently upgraded to the latest PS - could this be a factor?

Nicely found. I think this might be your issue. You have stumbled into the area of color management which can get crazy complicated very quickly. However, if we keep things simple it shouldn't be an issue.

Photoshop files will generally have a profile which dictate how the color will be handled within that file. If they don't have a profile, Photoshop will use defaults that can be changed by the user if needed. When copying and pasting between files with the same color profile everything is cool. When copying and pasting between files with different color profiles, Photoshop is generally smart enough to convert the information so that it looks the same in the other file. This is what Photoshop is referring to in your image when it mentions converting colours. Upon seeing a dialogue box like this I would just click OK and expect things to look fine. Does this now work for you given that you've reset the preferences?

I notice that your Destination includes the word EPSON which suggests to me that the file you are pasting into may have some color profile built for a printer. Try creating a new document and pay close attention to the Color Profile within the new document dialogue box. Make sure it's set to sRGB IEC61966-2.1. This is a great starting point.
