I have just converted an image from my Nikon D200 with Adobe Camera Raw to a 16-bit RGB file and opened it in Photoshop. I chose Adobe RGB (1998) in ACR for the conversion and my color settings specify Adobe RGB (1998) as my working space.
After this operation, the histogram shows that enormous amount of pixels have been clipped on the shadow side of the histogram (mostly in the green and blue channels) compared to the histogram that I saw in ACR when I judged the conversion settings. In ACR the only channel that showed mild clipping in the shadows was the green channel. It looks as if somewhere during the conversion a significant color shift occurred between ACR and Photoshop.
I notice a similar discrepancy in the histograms between Phaseone’s C1 Pro raw conversion software and photoshop. This surprises me, because I always take great care not to make any mistakes in my color management settings (both in the raw converter and in photoshop).
Anyone else experience this phenomenon? Any solutions that make the histograms in the raw conversion software and in photoshop resemble each other more?
