Hi, I am using Photoshop along with Coreldraw. My problem is that the colors in Photoshop do not match with colors in Coreldraw on monitor even though they have same CMYK values. Any suggestions??

perhaps if you turn off photoshop color mngt then you’ll see the colors are the same in both apps. They indeed are the same, but photoshop makes them appear different depending in the chosen color profile.

Check if both programs are using the same monitor ICM profile. Check if both programs are recognizing the working space profile. If so you should get a match.

My experience with Corel products is limited to Painter and (a very little) Paintshop Pro and both handle "color management" very poorly compared to Photoshop or Elements, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Coreldraw upholds the family tradition. To point out one glaring problem, Paintshop Pro will only recognize sRGB as a working space so if you open a file saved as AdobeRGB or Ektaspace or whatever Paintshop Pro will not convert to sRGB, it will just assume it’s sRGB and dump all your saturated colors.

It is Coreldraw that is wrong then. The numbers by themselves have no meaning unless they are associated with the correct profile. Furthermore, as you are looking a monitor, you should be examining the RGB values. Jim

In photoshop the color shown on monitor is correct, i think it is coreldraw which is not able to present the true color. I will check the ICM profiles of both. THANKS ALL.
