Red Face

[sethkilbourn]

It seems all of a sudden the photos I open up in Photoshop Elements all have really red skin. This is a new phenomenon for me. I organize my pictures in Picasa. They actually look fine when I view them in Picasa--right skin tone, nice pop. Then I open them in Photoshop and the skin tone turns really red. This seemed to just start happening and I have no idea what I did. Why would the skin tone look different from one application to the other? Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have different color spaces set in each ap? Such as RGB in one and SRGB in the other?

I don't think so. I can't adjust the color space in Picasa. The problem may be in the calibration of my monitor--something may have gone wrong or may not be working with my Pantone calibration system. But I still don't understand why I'd be seeing one color in one ap and another color in another ap. I don't recall adjusting anything. Ugh.

You were correct and thanks! My monitor is calibrated based on ICC generated by my Pantone/Huey calibration system. I had selected sRGB color space in Photoshop, so they looked different. If I select "no color management" in Photoshop, they all look the same. Thanks for the help.

Glad to be able to help
