I'm an amateur at this, teaching myself along the way by trial and error and thankfully the net..... I used Camera Raw to adjust a psd image that had no background around the subject. I didn't save the settings that I used, and they were PERFECT for what I was doing. I'm doing this to a series of 4, with slight color adjustments to each. I've found on the web how to copy the camera raw settings from one image to a series of others with Bridge, but it doesn't seem to work with psd, only jpg type. I don't want to have to go in and remove the background again individually since it involves hair blowing in the wind and took forever..... is there a way to copy the camera raw settings from one psd to another, or at least see what the settings are in a psd?
If you are going to have a lot of custom settings, create a folder with a distinctive name "Camera Raw Custom Settings" and save the custom settings to that folder so they are not mixed in with other .xmp files. If I make adjustments to a melon, it's "melon.xmp" Then I ok the save. To apply it to a picture you are woking on, use "Load Settings" in the Panel menu to pick the preset you need.
Thanks Gener7, problem is I want to see the setting used in a psd that I didn't save the settings of..... I need to duplicate settings that weren't saved from a psd image. I've used camera raw on a number of different images since, so the settings stored automatically after I altered that image have changed. Ideally I want 4 identical subject images slightly altered each in colors, with different backgrounds. If I can see the settings I used in the saved psd original, I can do it with no variation other than what I intend to make. Make sense?
You then leave Tiff 1 alone as a reference and adjust 2, 3, and 4. When you click on the thumbnail you can see the difference by switching between thumbnails and the adjustment panel is displayed for each.
I've just bought a new external wide gamut monitor, a Benq SW240, connected to my laptop with an HDMI cable, calibrated and profiled (and reprofiled too). Since then I've been experiencing an issue: basically when I see my photos in Camera Raw colors look vibrant, but when I open the images on Photoshop they turn dull and desaturated. This problem does not happen on my laptop's monitor so I guess it's related to the external monitor rather than to my photoshop settings. Is anyone willing to help me, since I got no clue at all about what the problem could be? Thanks in advance.
What happens is that one application (usually ACR) uses the wrong monitor profile. Here, it sounds like it's using the laptop monitor profile even if the app itself is on the external monitor. Hence the oversaturation.
The only workaround I know of is to make sure Photoshop and ACR is on the primary display as set in the operating system. That seems to always correct it. Obviously, it shouldn't happen at all. Photoshop/ACR/Bridge etc should always use the monitor profile for whatever display they're sitting on. And most of the time, they do.
EDIT: one more thing. The BenQ software is known to be extremely buggy, and cause similar problems. So that could well be part of it. But this sounds more like the general bigger picture problem. It has also been reported with Eizo ColorNavigator, which is otherwise a rock solid piece of software.
@D Fosse Thank you very much for the answer! Basically in Windows' settings I chose "Show only on 2" (my external monitor) and then I checked "Make this my main display". Still, the problem's there. However, when I extend the monitors, the problem seems to disappear as colors are the same between ACR and Photoshop, but they look quite similar to those displayed by my laptop's monitor: duller and flatter. How do I know that in this case ACR is using the right profile?
Wide gamut displays will flare up with oversaturation at anything that breaks the standard color management chain. That's their native behavior, and the reason they cannot be used without full end-to-end color management.
1. extra even without camera raw: when i open 1 image it appears dull, when i open 2 images, the one visible appears dull, it's only when i put the 2 frames side by side, the colors turn back to normal.
@D Fosse I am sorry to bother you again, but what I said earlier is not true anymore: now even when I extend the monitors Camera Raw shows oversaturated photos, which means I can't use it at all... Is there any chance that I missed something in the Windows color management settings? Or should I just give up using Photoshop with my Wide Gamut monitor?
As for Photoshop - it has no control over the monitor profile at all. It just uses whatever profile it gets from the operating system. If Photoshop gets the wrong profile, it will use that. There is nothing in Photoshop's color settings that affects the monitor profile, it's all about handling document profiles.
I really wish I could help you, but, again, the only certain way to get around this is to use a single display, or at least have the color-critical display set up as primary display in Windows ("1"). From what I've seen, this always happens on the secondary display ("2").
@D Fosse I really want to thank you again for your support! By the way, I might have found a way to circumnavigate the problem, but I don't know if it's right, you'll probably correct me. Basically I set the Benq profile as the default one for all displays, included the laptop one. In this way colors are consistent between CR and PS in both displays... I don't know why. The laptop display doesn't even seem to be affected by the profile change. I can't figure this out but there must be some kind of bug or some passage I am missing.
I hope this helps

This could explain why it always seems to happen with laptops, where one can assume there is a bit of moving applications back and forth, as well as disconnecting the external when the laptop is used alone. On a desktop system you don't do any of that.
@NB, colourmanagement net @D Fosse That's not working for me since Photoshop already automatically opens on the external monitor, which is set as main monitor. The only workaround, as I said, was setting the Benq profile as the laptop profile too.
Is it possible on a laptop to bypass the laptop screen completely, take it out of the equation, so that the GPU outputs to the external monitor only? I have no idea, I haven't touched a laptop in years. A single screen 100% avoids the whole issue.
It could be that this particular case is down to the BenQ software. It is known to be buggy, and not write profiles to the correct icc spec. What could happen here is that Windows doesn't accept it, or Photoshop/ACR don't accept it - and then substitutes the Windows default instead. That default is sRGB, which on that monitor will result in oversaturation (as well as being generally wrong of course).
When you change monitor profile in the OS, all applications must be relaunched. The monitor profile is loaded at application startup, and used for the remainder of the session, regardless of changing it in the system.
OK.If it does the same thing with Adobe RGB instead of the BenQ profile, then it's nothing to do with the profile itself. It's something in the handover of profiles from the operating system to the application.
No problem @D Fosse, you've been really helpful anyways. I appreciate it. I guess I'll just use the workaround I mentioned before, that is to say setting the Benq profile as the laptop default profile. This seems to trick the OS.
Photoshop crashes when trying to open camera raw. I can't even close Photoshop. I have to finish it through the Windows task manager.
The other applications I have work normally, from which I conclude that the problem is with Photoshop.
RAM and CPU are not overloaded.
This situation is frustrating
I don't believe the issue is with the GPU, considering I use a gaming laptop with an NVIDIA RTX 3050 GPU. In fact, the laptop has two GPUs, one integrated into the AMD Ryzen 7 - 5800h processor (weaker) and the stronger NVIDIA RTX 3050. I must mention that several laptop manufacturers still currently provide their products with an RTX 3050 GPU or even lower.
Dual GPUs sounds like a good idea, but it only works as intended for simpler applications that just send data one way downstream. This is not how Photoshop (and other advanced graphics software) works. It uses the GPU for actual data processing, and the result returned to Photoshop for further processing. You can't send data to one GPU and get it back from the other, and so there can only be one GPU in this equation. The GPU is an active component, not a passive one.
