Title: Capture One color problems
Post by: rsonia on October 16, 2009, 08:51:55 pm

Hi,

I'm using C1 4.8 pro version, and when exporting to PS4 the colors no longer match (or rather the blue colors...)

My OS is Vistax64 with SP2

I calibrate with the I1v2 on a Spectraview monitor.

Profiles in C1 both proof and export are set to ProphotoRGB.

Profile is PS is also set to ProphotoRGB.

Monitor profile is a V2 version (not a V4) and is set as default in Vista's CMM (and the Spectraview LUT loader runs at startup)

When setting the above profiles to sRGB the colors match.

I used CS2 previously, and there the AdobeRGB matched, but the mismatched profiles had all the colors wrong. (I am now running a trial of CS4.)

Any one with ideas ? I'm stumped...

*edit:

I'm using two monitors if that could matter...

Why not ask Phase One ?

The forum would be a lot slimmer that way, no?

I'm assuming you have no ideas then, of what to try.

I would output the image as a tif and then bring that up in CS4 to see if the colors differ, using one monitor.  I used a 2 monitor (2 different high end brands) setup with my Mac Pro and had issues with color.  I just couldn't get the colors to match; but, no issue when using a single monitor.   I could have worked it out with Apple; however, my daughter wanted the other monitor, which solved my problem.

You my have a look at a similar thread:

Best,

@Bernd

I'm now running the Spectraview profiler, and not the basiccolor version. It writes V2 profiles. I'll try shortening the profile name, although I think it may not be applicable on a PC..

I have done a complete reinstall and I'm now using only one monitor, but there is still no love from Capture One .. sigh.

Thx for the help :-)

@James

Being generous must have given you good karma :-D

You really need to work on that attitude.
