Opening raw files I usually apply the Adobe Color profile. The default imported profile is Camera Settings (Camera Raw Defaults>Adobe Default) . Now I just switched to Adobe Default .
Viewing the file I often want to covert to B&W so I select the Adobe Monochrome profile from the profile dropdown.
But the RGB values are not equal, so it’s not exactly neutral. Why?
I have not applied any global masks on the image. Perhaps a local one to for example lighten a face. I checked the Grading tab & it’s highlights, mid tones, shadows to ensure there’s no + saturation. BW Mixer has all Color’s at 0. No curves…
What could it be?
Thanks
