Question re Color Space in C1 vs. Photoshop CS6

Denis Mortell
If I have my Export window in C1 set up with ProPhoto RGB as the ICC profile, and if I have Photoshop CS6 set up with ProPhoto RGB in Edit/Color Settings/ProPhotoRGB, then........

1. Am I seeing my preview images in C1 in ProPhoto?

2. Shouldn't the RGB/Color Picker readings in C1 be the same as the saved TIFF RGB readings on the Info palette in CS6? (Both are ProPhoto, afterall) They're not. C1 more saturated.

My Rendering Intent in both C1 and CS6 is set to Relative, for what it's worth.

Thanks.

    Dinarius,

    Monitors cannot display Prophoto colour gamut. it is too wide.

    Ian,

    I'm not talking about visually displayed, I'm talking about RGB readout from C1's colour picker, versus RGB readout from CS6's.

    Regardless of what's displayed, or not, shouldn't the actual RBG values measured be the same in both programs if both are set to the same colour space?

    Thanks.

    Ps.

    Put it another way....

    If I set Adobe Camera RAW to ProPhoto and save a TIFF, the RGB readouts of the RAW in ACR and the TIFF in CS6 are identical.

    Maybe I'm not setting one of C1's preferences correctly?

    Thanks.

    Dinarius,

    I'm a beginner with Capture One. I'm using 32bit colour but C1 asks for 24bit could that be significant?

    Ian,

    Thanks for the reply.

    Will wait for Paul or one of the other experts to pick it up.

    Seems odd though, but I'm probably not setting some right in Prefs.

    Thanks again.

    To be sure that the preview is displayed in Prophoto in C1, select the profile in View->Proof Profile.

    Thanks. Another thing I had forgotten after the re-install.

    Perfect now.

    Highjacking this thread, I export TIFs in ProPhoto, but they show with dull and muted colours with a green cast in C1.

    In fact, irrespective of the proof profile applied (even when it's "no profile"), the TIFs I export look different depending on the profile I exported them with. Isn't the point of colour calibration that they look the same? The problem is exaggerated with ProPhoto, which is why I think this is relevant to this thread.

    Note: I'm not exporting outrageous colours beyond the sRGB colour space, so the issue is not that the gamut of the color space is too large for the screen.
