My original problem was the preview in Bridge looked fine; in Photoshop the image was under saturated; the flattened file save as a jpg was over saturated. I finally got Photoshop and Bridge in sync but the files flattened and saved as jpeg are still over saturated.

I’ve worked with CS2 for a couple of years and the only real tweeking I had to do was with the print setup, everything else has been sync.

Any suggestions on fixing this?

run adobe gamma in the control panel… whoops. hope you didn’t uninstall cs2 b/c i don’t think gamma comes w/cs3. (that’s a bone head move by adobe imo!)

Dave,

I did indeed uninstall CS2 losing Adobe Gamma in the process. However, I had reinstalled it and calibrated my monitor before discovering the problem.

I realize I was not as descriptive as I should have been. The jpeg looks fine in Photoshop – using any of the Windows viewers is where the problem lies.

Thanks for the idea

then the color mgmt is still off. they should look pretty close to the same if your monitor is calibrated correctly.

this might help… well worth the 10 or 15 mins it takes to read through:

Thanks for pointer to the web site Dave.

The before and after in Adobe Gamma looked pretty much the same but the good/bad news is everything looks the same no matter the application – over saturated! At least that is fixable.

I have no idea if redoing the calibration helped or it was divine intervention. My only hope at this point is that everything stays consistent.
