in photoshop CS4, I use Adobe RGB (1998) as my working profile. I open a document, I change it’s profile from RGB, using "view"-"mode", to anything else, say Lab, and everything is fine up to now, but then I undo the change, and what I get is a darker image than before. I don’t get the original image I opened. Same thing happens if I use the "convert to profile" option also.

I close the image and reopen it, it still looks darker. I restart photoshop and open the image, only then I get the original image with normal colors again. This happens only when I convert back to RGB, not from RGB and not between any other profiles.

So basically when I, at some point, change the color profile from RGB to any other profile and then back to RGB the image looks darker, and the only way to fix this is restarting photoshop. this didn’t happen in any versions before cs4, what should I do? thanks.

sounds like a rendering error. Update Photoshop to 11.0.1 and the drivers for your video card. If that doesn’t help, try disabling OpenGL from Edit->Preferences->Performance

thanks very much for your response. Actually I had the latest drivers and photoshop 11.0.1, then I downgraded my drivers and this solved the issue.
for everyone else using ati graphics cards, I had this issue with version 9.2 and 9.3, however, 8.1 solves this issue.
thanks very much.
