    Thumbnail colors way off with ProPhoto profile

    Ron Lanham Community Member

      Problem:  thumbnail colors for Photoshop files saved with a ProPhoto profile are __way__ off

       

      I've been using Photoshop since version 5 (now using CS4 11.0.2) and have never had this occur before.

       

      I've been using Adobe RGB (1998) for many years, and use sRGB for the web (also for many years).

       

      And years ago I even used other color profiles, but never had the thumbnails look __very__ different from the actual image.

       

      But I just tried saving files using the ProPhoto profile and the thumbnail colors are way off.

       

      What is strange is that I can use the little freeware app QuickImage to add a thumbnail to these same files and QuickImage will create/display the thumbnail correctly (i.e. the colors look like the actual full image).

       

      Anyone else have this happen... and is there a solution?

       

      I'd like to use ProPhoto for a book I'm designing for a client, but not if the thumbnails are displaying improperly (especially since Adobe RGB (1998) has worked well for me for many years now).

       

      Any ideas?

       

      Thanks.
