is Bridge color managed?

Sep 8, 2012 11:49 AM

My monitor is correctly profiled and the colors in Photoshop CS5 are correct and they print correctly. When I view the same image in Bridge, however, the colors are slightly more saturated and seem incorrect. They appear as they do when I view them in non color managed applications. Is Bridge color managed as is CS5?

    do you mean the small thumbnails (no) or the Preview (yes)

     

    if the Preview doesn't "match" Photoshop, then the image is likely untagged (or Ps is applying a different source profile)

     

    i am pretty sure Bridge applies sRGB to untagged images for the Preview, and Ps applies its working RGB profile for all practical purposes (if we don't color manage it)

     

    try downloading the IPHOTO TEST FILES and taking them into Bridge (and other file managers)

     

    PS

     

    the iphoto tutorial images contain a low resolution 72ppi collection of 10 files of one image in five different colorspaces in tagged/untagged pairs

    Thanks - you are right. It is the thumbnails in Bridge that don't match but the preview is fine and this explains why.
