1)When I view the same raw file with both Lightroom 2 & Photoshop CS3 the PS version is darker with a slight colour shift. All metadata synchronised & ACR 4.5

2) When I export a photo (from LR)as TIFF (with profile) this same photo viewed on both PS and LR shows the same difference as 1 above. When same photo viewed with ADC pro, result matches LR not PS.

3) When I print photo (as TIFF above) with PS & LR the prints from both match the LR display and not PS’s

I use a calibrated display.

What is the problem here anyone? Does PS use display profile differently from LR? which is correct?

I use a calibrated display.

1 and 2 are typically due to a corrupt monitor profile. How do you calibrate the monitor? If using hardware calibration recreate the profile.

Also, check the colour settings in PS. They can be set in error. In Lightroom the settings are fixed, so they should be right.

A mistake often made in PS is confusing colour space with monitor profile. Maybe a colour space is assigned to your monitor as if it were the profile.

I recalibrated monitor and created new profile (coloreyes). Using v4 this time.

Now they match (by eye anyway!)

The profile created by coloreyes is perceptual. I read somewhere that using relative colormetric is best.
Anyone enlighten me as to whether this is true and why?
