the same color is showing up different
all my colors are a bit messed up on documents that i thought all had the same color in them. in the 2 files here according to the color picker they are the same color. and if i copy one and paste it into the other they are the same. but they are not at all the same. if i take a screen grab of them they are very different. its the same monitor profile and color space and bit rates. any ideas?
thanks!the 2 photoshop color squares – https://www.stopfollowingme.com/colors.zip

According to my Photoshop, color1.jpg uses the Adobe RGB 1998 color space, but color2 doesn’t have a color space assigned. I went to Edit >> Assign Profile and chose Adobe 1998. Now they both match. Color space makes a huge difference in the final appearance – I generally use Adobe 1998 where appropriate as I find sRGB to be pretty poor.

I’ve done it several times. Whenever you do a File >> Save As, you have the option of including the color profile or not. I will deselect this anytime I create images for the web (most browsers ignore color profiles anyway so its wasted data) and I usually forget to reselect it later. 😉
Glad it worked. 🙂
