colour management question

This is only a guess, but it sounds like your profiles are not being embedded in your files. Check your photoshop settings when you do a save as, and make sure the option to embed profiles is checked.

are you making sure you save the profile with the file?

Also, you may have to turn on or adjust the color managemnet in those programs — in PS there are several color management controls: color profile, workspace, plus a little check box in bridge “allow color management” so maybe you just need to hunt around a bit in those programs and make sure all the setings are aligned.

Thanks all! New system and teething problems. I think it was simply a profile embedding problem… That said, I still haven’t found the “allow color management” checkbox in Bridge…

Stop looking David, ain’t there:

The Advanced preference option in Adobe Bridge 2.0 that lets you turn on color management is no longer available in Adobe Bridge 2.1. Instead, the thumbnail quality determines whether color profile settings are used. High-quality thumbnails use color-profile settings, while quick thumbnails do not. Use Thumbnails preferences to determine thumbnail quality.

If you have Adobe Creative Suite 3, you can use Adobe Bridge to synchronize color settings across all color-managed components. When you specify Creative Suite color settings using the Edit > Creative Suite Color Settings command in Adobe Bridge, color settings are automatically synchronized, ensuring that colors look the same in all color-managed Adobe Creative Suite 3 components. For instructions on using Adobe Bridge to set up color management, search for “synchronize color settings” in your component’s Help.

Under this title i have another problem. I embed the profile (Adobe 1998) and i can see all ok but when I upload to the web, in my case Digital Railroad, I see some scans more red than in my mac. No problem with the photos that were taken with a digital camera but yes with some scans. Odd. Sorry David for distract a little the main question you post.

Nernan…Convert to sRGB before uploading and see if that helps.
