Hey /p/, I have a problem.

I'm using a Canon Rebel XT, with the 18-55mm kit lens (lol poorfag), and RC-1 remote. Shooting RAW, and editting with CS3. The camera colour mode is set to sRGB.

My problem is, whenever I save a picture in CS3 as a Jpeg, or Bmp (specifically from my camera).. I lose contrast, and saturation.

I posted myself ugly, I know), in my poorly set up light rig.. I needed to add some saturation to make my skin look natural. But when I save it, it reverts back to less saturation.

Any ideas?

CS3 uses AdobeRGB. I'd say if you can, shoot AdobeRGB.

maybe your photoshop proof is wrong. try "monitor-rgb"

If you're shooting RAW, I'm pretty sure that the on-camera color mode doesn't matter. So if Adobe's defaulting to Adobe RGB and editing in Adobe RGB and saving in Adobe RGB and viewed in a web browser that defaults to sRGB, you'll lose contrast and saturation.

Solution would be to convert to sRGB before saving.

You see that text down there on ACR? It reads something like how many megapixels your photo has. There also should read color space. Change that to sRGB, and your problem should be solved.

But I would also change the Photoshop's own working color space to sRGB.

And I like your self potrait. It's lot better than most posted on the internet. (But still not that good. Just good.)

I know. I was just fiddling around with neutral light, and a stock photo atmosphere. It's really all in the learning process.

Anyway, I fixed it. I ran an Image Processing script which allowed me to set the colour mode to sRGB. Here's the result.

Thanks for your help ^___^

isn't ac right? i mean, if you shoot raw, then the color space you're working on won't matter? just like white balance and image optimizations( nikonfag here )

Correct.

It's the fact that he's viewing a Adobe RGB file in a sRGB setup.

It's really bad if you don't switch your monitor to Pro Photo RGB if you use Lightroom. It does all sorts of crazy shit because the PPRGB space is Xbox heug compared to sRGB.

Keep your camera in Adobe RGB so you can print and shoot for web.

Calibrate CS3 for sRGB when editing for web and it will ask you to convert profiles.
Calibrate CS3 for Adobe RGB if you want to print.
