Color Space Conversion

[Gerry]

Hi;

My workflow is Raw>PSD>jpg. I convert the PSD to jpg using the Image Processor. If I don't check the "Convert to sRGB" box, the color/hue does not match the color in the original PSD. It is distinctly different. The original RAW was shot in RGB and the PSD was RGB so why do I have to convert it to sRGB to get the same color?

RGB and sRGB are different things. Chances are ACR is feeding the image into PS as Adobe RGB or Profoto RGB - and it stays in the Adobe RGB / Profoto colourspace unless you convert it to something else (which is what "save to web" functions do).

Easiest way to check is to simply open the image up in PS - click on "EDIT, CONVERT TO PROFILE (not ASSIGN PROFILE) and see what it already is.
