The color picker is actually programmed correctly. My motto has always been, "it's buggy until I understand it." I wouldn't consider the way the color picker shows the colors as expected. Wade, you mean "the color you see is the result of how badly color picker was programmed to work"? If the color picker was color managed it would display only the colors within the limit of the color space of the current document so the user can not choose colors outside of it and then wonder why the colors in the document are not the same. Change the color mode properly to RGB and it will solve your problem. However, if you try assigning another RGB color space for, example Adobe RGB, from Edit > Assign Profile then the color picker will be equally useless as when working in a CMYK document. If you don't have a custom monitor profile you system assigns by default the sRGB color space as a profile of your monitor and since the default RGB mode in Illustrator is also using the sRGB color space then the Color PIcker will show no difference in a sRGB document. Again, as it was the case in the other thread, just switching to RGB mode will not fix the problem from the fact that the color picker is not color managed and will still show a difference even in RGB documents if the monitor profile is different than the profile of the RGB document. Monitor profiles are only RGB and in order to assign it as a color space of your document you have to have your document in RGB mode first. The software should install its profile correctly so there should be no need to manually set the control panel once you are doing this right.I checked the issue and it still did not fix the problemĬhristie if you mean that you tried my suggestion in the other thread, apparently you didn't do it properly. If this change to the Monitor Display profile temporarily fixes the appearance issue, it is recommended that you should now calibrate and profile the monitor properly using a calibration sensor like the i1display pro, which will create and install its own custom monitor profile. Quit and relaunch Photoshop after the control panel change, to ensure the new settings are applied.ĭepending on the characteristics of your monitor display and your requirements, using sRGB or Adobe RGB here may be good enough - but no display perfectly matches either, so a custom calibration is a superior approach. Screenshot of Color Management Control Panel Once it’s selected, be sure to check “Use my settings for this device” up top.Īnd click on “set as Default Profile - bottom right You can click to ADD to add “sRGB IEC61966-2.1” (or AdobeRGB1998) if not already listed there.Īgain - IF you have a wide gamut display I suggest trying “AdobeRGB1998” In the Devices tab, ensure that your monitor is selected in the Device field. (If you have a wide gamut monitor display (check the spec online) it’s better to try ‘AdobeRGB1998” here instead as it more closely approximates the display characteristics).Ĭlick ‘Start’, type color in the search box, To find out if the monitor display profile is the issue, I recommend you to try temporarily setting the monitor profile for your own monitor display under “Device” in your Windows ‘color management’ control panel to “sRGB IEC61966-2.1”. As the issue isn’t caused by Photoshop, please don’t change your Photoshop ‘color settings’ to try fix it. Photoshop is correct, it’s the industry standard for viewing images, in my experience it's revealing an issue with the Monitor Display profile rather than causing it. The poor monitor display profile issue is hidden by some applications, specifically those that do not use colour management, such as Microsoft Windows "Photos". The issue can affect different application programs in different ways, some not at all, some very badly. I CAN happen with Macs but with far less likelihood, it seems.] Unfortunately, with Microsoft hardware: Windows updates, Graphics Card updates and Display manufacturers have a frustratingly growing reputation for automatically installing useless (corrupted) monitor display profiles. Of course you must not expect accurate colour with programs such as Windows "Photos", because in most versions colour management is not implemented there, so such programs are incapable of providing accurate image display. It'll only take a few minutes and is good troubleshooting.Īt least once a week on this forum we read about this, or very similar issues of appearance differing between colour managed applications.
