I'm, of course, more than happy to do whatever will solve my problem. Could
you be more specific about what I need to do to turn off "autopilot?" You
mean select something like Japan Color Prepress instead of Colorsync
Workflow?
There have been times in my trouble shooting when the CS prefs were set to
Generic RGB, and I changed the RGB space in PhotoShop Color Settings to
Adobe RGB 1998. That generated a "custom" setting. The pop-down menu no
longer said "ColorSync Workflow." But I didn't change any of the other
settings in that panel. (Actually, I did try observing the difference
between Perceptual and Relative Colormetric, and the differences were minor,
and couldn't account for the dramatic color cast I am getting.)
In any case, even when the pop-down menu does not say ColorSync Workflow, I
still get the red cast when I let PhotoShop do the conversion to the printer
space. (See my more recent reply to Bruce.)
I want to know the specific settings I should use, but I also want to
understand the general principle at work regarding ColorSync.
Is it that setting a default RGB space in ColorSync and then simply choosing
ColorSync workflow in PhotoShop sets some invisible parameters that can
never be adjusted and might in some cases cause the color to be wrong? Are
you saying that as a general rule one should always pick a combination of
ColorSync prefs and Photoshop Color Settings to insure that the Pop-down
menu never reads ColorSync Workflow?
Inquiring minds want to know... :-)
