I’ve noticed that images look much better from within PhotoShop cs than when pulled up in a viewer. In short, the color is much richer and closer to true life. I color correct in raw with a WhiBal card (black, white and 18% gray) and shoot with a 1d markII 70-200 2.8 is, usm. I’ve looked at things like color space and 8 v 16 bit and even diff resolutions and formats but still nothing. I’ve tried several different apps like ADSee and even from within Acrobat and though I’ve seen slight differences nothing I’ve tried can match the fabulous color in PS…..tia

No complaint, a tech question. I would like to know the nature of the difference so that I may see the same image in a quick loading viewer as I see in PS.

PS is the only "Colour managed" prog you will come across, other image viewers are not. If you have used Adobe Gamma when you installed PS to calibrate your monitor and selected the correct colour space, this would account for image quality you see in PS. If you haven’t calibrated your hardware and are seeing the improvement…you are one of the lucky few.;-) MH
