Hi.
I'm working on a stop motion project with jpg files. I first created the timeline with jpg files on premiere (There's already a change in color of the original image when I import it). Then I opened some images on Photoshop for retouching and saved them as JPGs (srGb and emedded color profile checked). However, when I bring the retouched images onto my existing timeline, there's a mismatch in colors between the original and retouched images.
Does anyone know of a seamless workflow where the colors don't change?
Thanks

On my system, there's not color changes, but tonal changes. And precision matters, as you would often use different thing to fix them.
My first question though ... what color space are those in? As although the Rec.709 used in video does use the sRGB color primaries, it also uses a slightly different transfer function to screen display ...
So in Photoshop, did you use sRGB ... or Rec.709 ... for those images? Rec.709 pushes the low/mid shadows slightly darker. And Premiere is based on video broadcast standards. As is pro video.

To get the same image, you have to use the color space video works in, which is Rec.709. Again, same primaries and white point as sRGB, but a different tonal curve, pushing shadows down a bit.
So you need to specify Rec.709 in Photoshop for that image. There isn't any other option for video.
