Digital Light & Color

Second question. I find that if I crop part of an image to a specific size (let's say 1000 x 1000 pixels), then try to use the same dimensions to crop another area in a different location (either on the same image or another of the same size), every time I move the crop rectangle (by clicking on the...

I routinely use the same Overlay Image and mask on more than one image and am having issues in repeatedly registering that image and mask, especially because I have to zoom into the image quite significantly (sometimes up to 6 or 7:1) to get a precise placement. If I wish to only use the mask and In...

Dieter, Funny thing though, many pros (Jeff Schewe and others) advocate using ProPhoto. From conversations I have read on other forums, they suggest it is the only profile to use if one is serious about getting the best end product. Except for the issues I have encountered, subject of this thread, i...

Thanks Dieter and Jonathan for your replies.

Dieter, Thanks again. Thought I was losing my mind and seeing things that no one else did. I'm surprised though that you don't see the same I have experienced with the marked change in the Colour Picker when changing from Adobe to ProPhoto. If the only difference I experienced was the change in Mars...

A couple other things.... In ProPhoto space, generated new ProPhoto Image (use noted sample as reference). New image is markedly different from sample (way pink). Readout Tool gives 39835 20560 20560. Save and close image. Change Working Space to Adobe RGB 1998. Open the just generated ProPhoto imag...

Dieter, Thanks for your continued input. Not sure exactly about your second to last message about opening the Pantone Marsala jpeg and whether you mean just opening the file and no pinkish hue is observed however, I too do not see any change in the colour when simply opening the sample file. I do se...

Dieter, Thanks for your reply. I obtained the colour sample from a rep at a publisher. I don'y know what colour space it was in, it was a jpeg so I expect it was sRGB or whatever jpegs commonly are. I did not convert the sample. All I did was generate a new 16bit ProPhoto image (so I'd have a 16bit ...

And further...... I just tried to, again, generate a new image with a solid hue (it's called marsala but don't know the associated numbers) by clicking a sample of a Pantone colour square. Coincidently, that particular hue falls pretty well exactly on the abrupt line on the colour picker that I ment...

Should have mentioned in my first post, that I changed the working colour space in PWP, in case my explanation wasn't clear.
