I have a fair bit of experience in Photoshop and using the ACR plugin for basic needs, and alot of experience in print production.
But I've started shooting in RAW with my RX100 Mk. III and have run into an issue that has me befuddled.
I am working on them in Photoshop, saving in PSD, using Smart Layers and various filters as I always do. Looks great on screen, histogram seems okay.
I save the JPEG files for use in this forum, email, etc. as I always do, removing the embedded color profile. I do this quite intentionally because this can cause issues during printing: either by choking the PostScript RIP, or it's simply superfluous because a properly set-up RIP generally ignores it. And generally, few users without access to an end-to-end calibrated workflow can make use of them.
I remove the profiles from photos at work (they shoot RAW an save masters in PSD) all the time at work at it has zero affect on the images on-screen or in print.
But the JPEGs I save from my photography that originate in RAW do not match the PSD files. The color loses saturation, tonal balance is a bit wonky, etc.
So at the moment, I assume removing the profile is doing it? If so, is there a way to "flatten" the profile data into the image so it doesn't change when saving the perfectly fine PSD to a JPEG?
Stumped...
