Hola, alguna razón por la cuál al desaturar una imagen no llega totalmente a tonos grises sino a cafés? 

 

Gracias

Arturo, please post your questions only once. Duplicate threads cause a lot of confusion.

 

Yes, it's a CMYK file and that's the explanation.

@Arturo25633297gm2a – I was going to ask the same thing as @Ranjisha Sengupta:

 

Are you working in CMYK mode? This can also happen in RGB mode, but is more common in CMYK mode.

 

Desaturation is for RGB mode and for use with idealised working spaces where R=G=B (not device working spaces).

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. Let's try to figure out what's going wrong here.

Which version of Photoshop and macOS are you using? Are you working on CMYK or RGB?

Does it happen with all of your images? Can you share a sample file with us?

 

We have a similar discussion on our forum, it's an old post, but you might have a look:  https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/gray-turns-light-brown-on-cmyk/m-p/9208727

 

We're here to help, just need some more details.

 

Thanks.

I agree with the other two commenters, and would add that you can minimize the brownish effect by going Image>Adjustments>Hue/Saturation and playing with the sliders (try going into the Blue and other "cool" color areas). Also try Image>Adjustments>Color Balance and increase the blues.

Thank you very much for you ideas Leslie, I´ll try these suggestions. However and what makes this whole situation curious to me is that I´ve used PS for years and I never had this issue, even in CMYK. But know I now that the CMYK color space is probably the reason why all of these is happening. If editing in a diferent color space, using channels, or adjuts the image with color balance are some of the solutions then thats ok and I´m gratefull for all your answers, but if theres is a way to have the same the result just by simply using the hue/saturation tool like I used to, then that´d be great too. 

 

Thank you
