Matte Painting From PS to AE
I have been working on a matte painting for the last couple of days. I finally did what i needed to do in Photoshop so I saved the file as a tiff. I then brought it into after effects and after doing some more work to it, I have noticed the color is a bit off than when the file is in photoshop. The darks arent as dark for the main part.(shadows mostly) I also added a grain to it in photoshop and in after effects I cant really notice the grain being there. Any suggestions. I brought it in as both a tiff and a psd file into AE.

Apart from what you mention, if you’re happy with the painting the way it is, just do necessary color correction and grain addition in After Effects in the compositing stage, matching it to what ever plate elements you have. You should add grain as the last stage; it’s good that you can’t see the grain yet, because you should be able to change it at will, and the grain should (presumably) animate. I don’t know how much experience you have with this sort of thing, but the tendency is for novices to overdo the grain thing, so make sure you do ram previews to see how the various aspects of the grain (color, saturation, movement, size) look — and match other elements.

Make sure you turn OFF color management in Photoshop.
And you may want to stay away from grain in Photoshop, and instead add it in After Effects. That way you get animated noise instead of static noise.

Yes you guys are right. I will add the grain last to animate in AE. How do I turn the profile off in PS?
If it isnt the same color profile can i switch it?
When I open it in photoshop a message comes up saying embeded profile mismatch does not match the current rgb working space. The embeded profile will be used instead of the working space. Then it tells me the embeded profile which says adobe rgb 1998 and working which is sRGB IEC61966-2.1
