Hi

I need clarification as to whether I have my colour settings correcct as we have been getting differnt results in PS after processing in C1.

I am shooting in Adobe 98
in C1, I have set to Embed Camera Profile

In CM settings I have set as follows:
Camera Product: D2x
Camera Profile: This is variable as I may want to change to BW Panchormatic or a differnt profile
Ouput Destintion : Adobe 98
Web Destination: sRGB
Proof Destination: ADobe 98

So, when I change my camera profile will it be seen as this in PS?
As I need to print in Adobe 98, will the colour settings need to be amended?

TIa

  If you want Photoshop to work in Adobe RGB 1998, then you may just want to have Capture One process into the standard output destination, rather than embed camera profile.
  
  The option to embed the camera profile bypasses the output destination choice and sets the color space of the resulting file to be the camera's color space instead of Adobe RGB. If Photoshop is expecting Adobe RGB then the colors will appear very desaturated.
  
  By changing the camera profile in Capture One, you are changing the way it decodes the colors stored in the raw file. Internally Capture One converts these to the working space (the selected Output Destination).
  
  To sum up: If you want to work in Adobe RGB, your Output Destination in the color management is set correctly, but you should change the selection in the Process tab to use it rather than embed the camera's profile. Then you are free to pick different camera profiles to affect how Capture One decodes the color from the raw file (or have it decode to B&W in the case of those).

  Bella,
  
  If you want to work in Adobe RGB (1998) then you should have these settings in Color Management:
  > be sure your monitor calibration file is set correctly
  > Destination (Working Space) = Adobe RGB (1998) Now all Thumbnails and Previews will display in this color space.
  
  At the Process tab, set Color Management workflow: to Destination
  Your Web and Proof settings are fine.
  When you set to B&W camera profile, these are RGB Profiles so you still want to have Adobe RGB set for Destination in CM and at Process tab.
  
  Sincerely,
  K C

  In the dropdown menu, we have 3 Adobe 98. Are they all the same?
  TIA

  Chances are pretty good they are all the same, but they would have come from various different programs you have installed so it is impossible to say for sure.
  
  The profile that is included with Capture One is labeled: Adobe RGB (1998)
  
  If you have a program that lets you compare color gamuts you could visually inspect the profiles against each other for any differences.
