CMYK files processed in C1 don't display correctly in Bridge

I've got a problem with CMYK (Euroscale V2) JPGs exported from Capture One. When they are viewed in Adobe Bridge (CS5) the colours are completely changed. I don't mean they look a little different, I mean they appear completely changed, like they have been inverted.

The picture on the left is processed straight out of C1, the one on the right did look the same, but I opened it up in and resaved it in photoshop. They all open absolutely fine in photoshop, so it's something to do with the preview. I've tried turning off high res previews in Bridge, but this doesn't help.

It happens on two different computers and we're using Capture One 6.4.3 on a Mac.

I can't seem to find anyone else having this problem. Any ideas?

Thanks
Oliver

As far as I know CMYK JPGs are only supported in Photoshop. I just tried processing one of my files in euroscale coated and even in os x preview it's inverted. In photoshop the file appears fine. If you want normal looking cmyk files straight out of cop process in tiff.

Hi Goran, thanks for the reply. I'm pleased to hear it happens to other people as well!

It's strange because a Euroscale CYMK file created in any other software will display fine in Bridge and looks normal in Finder (albeit with slightly muted colours). The problem seems to be with how Capture One creates it's CMYK previews. No other software causes the same problems.

If you turn off "Create thumbnail" in the process settings doe this change anything?

Hi Jon, I tried turning off Create Thumbnail, but sadly the same thing happens.
