Might be the graphic is CYMK and should be RGB.

If it is CMYK and should be RGB, is that something I can change in PS? I have a little bit of PS knowledge and could probably manage that if necessary —

Thanks!

Yes, PS can do it. Open the image then go to Image Menu > Mode and select RGB if it’s CMYK or anything else. Hopefully that’ll work for you.

Hi there,

does anybody now if there is an option to set in FCP studio (Mac) to allow jpegs saved on a PC (and having the PC RGB colour info) to show up in their good colours in FCP.

Otherwise these jpegs have to be converted in Photoshop as following:

The solution is to import the Jpeg in photoshop and save as >proof setup > Macintosh RGB. And then import into FCP.

Thanks for your help.
