Edit LR photo in PS

Posted: March 23, 2007 - 9:07am

I attempted to edit a photo in photoshop and got a strange result.

The copy appeared rediculously oversaturated and almost cartoon like.

My workflow
Developed in LR
Cretaed a vertual copy
PS (adobe RGB) adjustments, Unsharp mask and a gradND filter.
I performed no PS color/WB or Exp adjustments.
Saves in PS
The image appeared in LR as a stangly oversaturated, almost cartoon like image.

Does this have to do with color space differences sRGB, Adobe RGB, ProRGB??

Please advise what i may have doen wrong and how to sync the RGB color space between LR and PS.

Thanks
Brad

Without seeing the image file it's difficult to answer your question. But Photoshop opens and views the images accurately no matter what color space so the same image in the three color spaces you mentioned would all look alike in Photoshop sitting next to each other as long as you honor the space and don't let Photoshop convert to working color space.

Thanks for the info. Quite right, had to stop PS converting the color space.

But i have another qu if i may.

The photo's i am converting in LR are CR2 raw files that i have on my hard drive (previous raw shooter). When i edit in PS, 3 things happen i am confused about.

1. The saved file comes back as a tiff? Is this because i started the file as a CR2 b4 edit? Should i have converted the CR2 file to DNG file prior to edit, and if so would this file have returned as DNG. And, what advantages and disadvantages are there from editing my raw files in LR as CR2 vs DNG.

2. Following the save in PS, the file returns as a new photo in LR, even if i have unchecked the stack photo icon.

3. It also, returns with ALL the lightroom adjustments returned to there neutral values (ie as if i had mad no adjustments). I had the preserve adjustments box checked.

Cheers
