Ps. CS. Curious no one wondered this

Did you choose RGB for the color model? I just tried it here and it’s perfect.

hi bob.

you mean to choose rgb color in the color mode under new document?

yes. rgb is selected.

Then the problem is on your system somewhere. Have you run Adobe Gamma?

Bob

found this leg work bob…dont know if its apropiate.

go to view | poof setup | and tick ‘monitor RGB’ (by default its working CMYK).

I have to go there everytime i open ps {:O|

With no image open, set it to Monitor RGB. That should set it to open as default.

Good Luck.

This is the same question as tan greys and red turns to orange. See the colour management forum and don’t use printscreen unless you want to assign the monitor.icc as the new document colour space.

@Dan Crescent – done that, restarted ps, clicked view – proof setup to see if monitor rgb remained as default…and yes {:D it remained as default.
So i hitted print|screen, new document…paste…|:O| the same. Went to view – proof setup…the click was on monitor rgb…as it should…i clicked on it again…the image changed to ok. The colours turned right again. ODD, i had to re-click the rgb monitor (?) ??

@Philo Calhoun – this is a known problem then?
I cant use printscreen nommore? I hadnt this problem in ps 5..6…or 7 {:O(

You can, but then you need to assign the monitor colour space to the file and then convert to whatever working space you wish (Adobe RGB, sRGB, ColorMatch, etc.).

take a screenshot (print screen key). Then open ps cs. New document. Paste the image. -Wrong colors-

A little while back I had the same problem and couldn’t understand what happened, but I learned why in the color management forum.

When you press the print screen key, you capture the image in the monitors color space (Monitor RGB) but when you make a new document to paste the screenshot into in Photoshop, Photoshop picks the working space (Adobe RGB, sRGB or whatever your RGB working space is set to inside Photoshops color settings).
When you paste the screenshot into the new document, the colors are wrong because the image isn’t captured in Adobe RGB, sRGB or whatever. It’s captured in Monitor RGB so you have to tell Photoshop that your screenshot is Monitor RGB.

In Photoshop 6 or 7 you can assign Monitor RGB in Image > Mode > Assign Profile and then convert to the the Working Space (or another space if you wish) with Image > Mode > Convert to profile.

In Photoshop CS it’s easier because you can now choose the document color profile before you make the document. Look in the Advanced section in the ‘New’ dialog box.
< http://home18.inet.tele.dk/madsen/photoshop/cs/color_profile .png>. When you’re dealing with screenshots, pick your monitor profile as the document color profile in the ‘New’ dialog box and then _convert_ it to the working space or whatever space you want it to "live" in afterwards.
