Just thinking that the full answer to this is to sav the ACR settings after the preference adjustments. So tweak until your happy and save. Uncheck saving white balance. Since this will be image dependent. Then load those settings on the next image. You can further automate with an action that calls ACR and uses those saved settings. So really there is far more flexibility.

There are a few things going on here. It appears your ACR settings are basically flat, with no "style" set. Since you are shooting RAW choosing a style in your camera won't matter at all. Those styles are for rendering jpgs only and have no effect on RAW files themselves. 1.) Notice the highlight weight in the Canon image as the background tone on the right. That tells us the Canon image has cleaner, brighter highlights, so you will need to increase exposure in ACR. (Try Auto) Also the highlight balance is slightly warmer, so an adkustment in white balance increasing yellow a bit will help. 2.) You can see along the bridge of the nose that the Canon image has some outlining due to unsharp masking being added. Adding this will help, but remember to keep Radius low (.6-.8) to limit this outline effect. 3.)Adjust shadows and black values at this time. Opening shadows and darkening blacks can have the effect of adding contrast and increasing color saturation in the shadow tones. 4.) Then minus vibrance and add saturation (as needed to get the look you like) Here's what I did in a few quick adjustments. Arguably a bit better than the Canon version, but only just to show that really there are a lot of style possibilities.

Canon has the inside scoop / secret sauce on their cameras and lenses, so they do have an edge in some ways. The solution is not obvious or simple, and any changes will be complex to get the improvements your looking for. If you can post 1 examples from each software, and your settings in ACR, there will be many opinions on what you can do to go from one to the other. Without them it will be impossible to really help you.

All of the color blend modes use CIELab as their basis for the changes. There will be no easy to see relationships to RGB or CMYK values.

Simply turn off the Use Graphics Processor in Photoshops Preferences/Preformance tab and that will smooth things back out.

This Fun Effect is best applied in Photoshop after your design is created in Adobe Illustrator. Save your Illustrator graphics and in Photoshop choose "place linked" from the file menu to place your Illustrator graphic inot a photoshop document. Then add your texture to this file by opening that as a sepearat image in Photoshop and placing it as a layer over your Illustrator Graphic. Select a blend mode in the layers pallet in Photoshop that allows the texture to be applied to the layer beneath, such as lighten or screen and adjust the opacity on the layer to create the look you are going for. Save this file as a .psd and your good to go. The Illustrator graphics are editable and will update in Photoshop each time the document is opened.

Then look to your OS and see if there are updates or patches or such to correct the basic framework that supports the Adobe Software. Something in the OS is preventing your CC from communicating properly.

The file had not saved properly and is corrupt. Unless you have a backup you will have to re-create it. I suspect the disk you saved it on is bad. That happens and in my experience replacing the drive solves the problem.

This adjustment is quite easy. 1-Curves layer taking shadows to about 50%. then apply that layer in Luminosity blending mode 2.) Add a Hue/Saturation layer and adjust saturation to get the desired ammount of oversaturation

Match Colors is not the tool to use to match a single color. Match color(s) is the tool to match the colors in one image to the colors in another. The results rarely produce a match to anything but ptovide a good starting point when making big changes globally to match the look and feel of another. Selecting just the yellow and filling with or adjusting to match a set of Ferrari values is the best solution in this example case. .

Going to Lab color for any reason requires a high bit depth or you risk image degradation. 16 bits minimum are needed to keep this from happening. To create your luminosity masks all you need to do is create duplicate image layers with the channels required for the mask and select create a selection based on those combined channels. For example, to isolate luminosity in an RGB image, there's no need to convert to LAB, simply Command-click (Mac) the RGB channel to make it a selection. This selects the luminosity. So to take that method and answer your question, to create the luminosity of cyan, you need the Red channel added to the Blue channel which creates cyan then Command-Click for its luminosity. Set Non-linear History in the History palette, Then Using this same method you can separate out each color until you have what you need. and fill from history to get back to the orig image.

Sounds like your getting CA in shift areas only. Certainly there's no lens profile for any TS lens. But manual corrections do work. Just do them in the area they are needed and not as an overall move. In this TS Lens case I'd recommend correcting what's needed and putting that together with the good portion of the image in PS.

You can easily remove CA in LightRoom using Lens Corrections. Check the box and away you go. If (like me) you want to do more than automatic, use the Manual tab Choose which CA and hue your bothered by and just fix that.

choosing "Preserve Details" when using Image/ resize is the best way to maintain detail and increase pixel count. If you must enlarge your image use this setting.

To check the document profile in LR look at the LR prefs then after openuing the image in PS look here: the arrow defaults to document size but you can choose what it displays. If both LR and PS agree this is a system level monitor profile issue. So if that's the case you will need to remake the monitor profile. Normally ICC profiles don't ever "go bad" so I suspect an OS or dual monitor issue. if that is the case then I'll need to know "Which OS is your system on". If it's Windows you may need to make sure the drivers are updated and the system is up to date. If it's Mac it should just work, and you may only need to Repair Disk Permissions and restart. Last resort to make a new monitor profile. To do that I'd use X-Rite ColorMunki as the low cost solution and depending on your application an i1Pro2 with i1Profiler as the most accurate solution.

Sounds like this is a color management issue. Make sure both LR and PS are using the same Monitor profile. Check to make sure the document profile is the same in both softwares.

Re-profile the monitor to correct this issue. Sometimes monitors flicker when being profiled and produce bad results. Then check the document profile using the triangle pull down in the lower left corner of your document to make sure sRGB is properly assigned. If not, assign sRGB under Edit/Assign profile.

Follow the instructions above and you have more control than the fractal filter, or purchase and use the filter with the instructions above. That will allow you the artist creative control.

The median filter will smooth the skin like this image This effect can be done using a pressure sensitive tablet, the smudge tool and a brush made up of different size dots. Create the brush and use it with the smuge tool to make hair go any way you want it. Then add color using color mode.

It appears this is a Windows 10 issue, so yes I'd look there first. As far as the Prefs go, do try it for sure. If it works then you have a hack fix that keeps you going.

Display profiles are LUT based in i1Profiler. If you get a errant reading then that color and colors close to that color can be displayed inaccurately. Smoothing helps when working with light based profile measurements. Turning that up with reduce errors from backlight flicker and help produce more accurate profiles. The exact settings will differ from display to display so experiment a bit to discover what's correct for your application.

There are many issues with this lastest version of the Windows 10 OS. It appears to be a change to the Windows Color System that was not correct or not communicated to Adobe.

Well the common thread here is Win 10. Since I have seen issues with WCS and PS before it may be the OS update. Since we can not control that or repair it, we can only look to Adobe for a possible break after the OS update. Uninstall all of your Adobe CC applications, and run http://download.macromedia.com/SupportTools/Cleaner/win/AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool.exe Then reinstall your apps. If that doesn't solve the issue then I'd contact Microsoft support to report the WCS bug.
