Hello –

When I email documents created in Photoshop, the email preview in Entourage on Mac OS 9.2 looks much different (generally lighter). Can anyone tell me how to make sure the colors in Photoshop are consistent with what’s being seen outside of the program?

Thanks,

RB

Are you using AdobeRGB color space in Photoshop? Entourage isn’t color managed, so Entourage will show this as if it were sRGB. If you want that kind of consistency, you’ll have to use sRGB in Photoshop.

Yes, that is correct. Read the chapter on Color Management in your Photoshop manual.

Photoshop does "color management." It changes the colors you see on your screen in order to compensate for your exact brand of monitor and input device. Other programs do not do color management.

To see your pictures in Photoshop the same way they will look in other programs, turn off color management in Photoshop.

On a Macintosh, *ALL* programs use the monitor profile. ColorSync takes care of that part. The fact that Photoshop does color management isn’t the problem. The fact that Photoshop understands more than just sRGB is (probably) the problem.
