CS gone nuts ? saving a TIF as JPEG..

[fitzihardwurshd]

Suddenly, out f nothing, CS got a much too flat and bright monitor presentation,
Watching a TIF right outta the scanner parallel with any viewer and with CS , it shows an enormous gap. Savin a processed TIF as JPEG to disk adds the gap afterwards, and so the pic gets much too contrasty.

Any ideas before i reinstall this nuts software ?

Thanks,

Did you change your colour management? I would check that it still is aRGB.

I dont really understand your question. Do you have a problem with TIF and JPGs or maybe with your monitor calibration? Or with a scanner?

@Jaap: Nothing changed

@ lubitel: The pic has a much lower contrast level in CS than in any other viewer.
if you turn it up to a correct amount inCS it thus gets too contrasty for any other viewing software and for any browser.

THis has NOTHING to do with the monitor or with the scanner.

Was the Tiff in RGB or in CMYK before you converted it to JPG?

I'd check your colour space settings and profiles before reinstalling anyway. I for my part have been known to do stupid things like changing settings without even knowing I did it 😉; on the other hand, a reinstall is just a few minutes....

It concerns B&W silver film scans only , have not checked if colour scans are affected too, the setting was CMYK tho as far as I remember.

B&W scans are in aRGB, sRGB or similar too. CS "sees" that as colour until you remove the colour information.

And after some more fiddeling I see that the prob does not depend on the formats I save . It is simple, the pic appears too bright and flat on the CS canvas.

Dump CS and start anew with Picture Window Pro ?

Photoshop manages colour independently of Windows so it is possible to have differences between different viewers.

If you haven't already, in Photoshop, check Edit>Color Settings

Also check View>Proof Setup

Maybe one of these settings has been changed somehow?

a question why ae you scanning B/W to RGB instead of Greyscale>?
