New color processing with PS 7.

[Rodney_Gibbons]

I had been struggling some time now with the skin tones on the 1D and using Photoshop 5.5. It didn't matter whether I used Matrix 1 or Matrix 4, I was just never satisfied with them.

I just upgraded to PS 7 and setup the color space as indicate by the book for Adobe 98 and tried a few images from one of my weddings at Matrix 4.

For some unkown reason, suddenly the skin tones are starting to look normal for a change.

What happened? I am assuming that PS 7 is handling the color differently then PS 5.5. Any thoughts anyone.

Photoshop 6 and 7 handle color a LOT differently than PS5! PS5 would assume all color files were in one colorspace no matter. PS6 and 7 support docuement specific color. Any file with an embedded ICC profile will preview on it's own regardless of the color settings pick of Working Space. PS6 and 7 also assume any untagged RGB file is in the "prefered" RGB Working Space (the space you picked in the color settings).

Be sure to assign the adobe space if you use matrix 4 in photoshop 7. See the following thread:
