Problem with the Spyder's colour profile

2014-07-04 by lisamarie.savard@...

Hello,

I got a Spyder4Pro last December. I've never had a problem with it, until a few weeks ago when I ran my monthly fullcal.


Here is an example to illustrate my problem.


This image has been fully retouched in Lightroom, then Photoshop and this is what the final result should look like:

However, if I leave Photoshop and open it as a slideshow, or download it to social medias, this is how it appears: <iframe src="https://www.flickr.com/photos/lisaa5/14567787542/player/45ccae0730" height="640" width="429" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe>


I thought this was the result of a bug during the fullcal, so I recalibrated it, but nothing has changed. I don't think I did something different this time.


Plus, I noticed this only happen with images that went through Photoshop. If I only retouch a photo in Lightroom, it will look fine everywhere, but not when I save it in Photoshop. The image mode is set to RGB and not CMYK. The problem also seems to be very apparent with photos that have a lot of warm colours (orange, red, yellow, brown).


This is what the "Color settings" section looks like in Photoshop:

Anyone has an idea of what the problem could be? I have several images to deliver to clients soon and I don't want them to receive corrupted files...
